Don't forget the edibility of sweet potato leaves! They're a delicious and nutritious spinach replacement and one one of my favorite greens from the food forest. 🌿🌿🌿
Sunshine mimosa and porterweed can be pretty aggressive. A nice thing about frog fruit is it will attract peacock butterflies. Also might want to consider purslane... edible and highly nutritious.
Good evening Urban Harvest. I completely agree that it's definitely better to convert at least a significant portion of one's urban yard to growing edible items - considering how many edible plants and weeds are out there: Dandelion, purslane, Sheep Sorrel, Curly Dock, Chickweed and Plaintain among them - a great way to properly preserve our sustainable resources. That being said, have a wonderful weekend and thanks for sharing a tour of your lovely garden. 😊😊😎😎
Just discovered your channel and I really appreciate all the info! I live in Jax and hoping to turn my tiny backyard (townhome) into a happy garden this year! The sunshine mimosa look so pretty. Our backyard is pretty shady so wish me luck!
I love that mix of the perennial peanut and sunshine mimosa! Thanks for sharing all the information that you do online! Where can I find those two? I'd love to try it out in a little patch of the backyard to see how it does.
Elise, you don't just make great videos and supply super resilient plants. Your Seed Exchange was a blast! Learned so much, and Sacred Lands is a must-visit location in St. Pete. Thanks again, and it was lovely meeting you. (Leila is definitely the Hostess with the Mostest, just adorable!)
Where can I buy seeds or plants of potato mint, Sunshine mimosa, perennial peanut online? Do you think they would do well in Phoenix - temperature wise were similar to Florida but even hotter and a lot drier.
Hi there! Thanks so much for your Florida focus videos. I want to convert at least part of my lawn and am thinking of doing the mix of sunshine mimosa and perineal peanut. What’s the best way to get started.
Are there ground covers that are safe for around septic tank drain fields, what i mean is that ground covers that dont have deep roots that may clog up drain fields?
While visiting my county extension office in Tampa, I was told the best way to plant perennial peanut was after killing the grass and placing it down in mat form instead of seed. Do you agree with this method? Also, would this be the best way to grow the other ground covers mentioned in your video?
Ground cover plants can usually outcompete other species but if you have the time a little extra weeding won't hurt. Starting with a clean slate will allow the new ground cover to thrive.
Cute doggie photo bomb! 😂 Thanks for all the info on patterns of growth, sunlight needed, and native pollinators.

For sure I talk about that in one of my other sweet potato videos. Great option for a summer leafy green!

Wow the garden looks very lush.
You are always full of good ideas. Thanks. Yes the animals were trying to steal the show 😆
Right?!
Taking advantage of the home page for gardening is a great idea.
I am Beng watching your videos. We will be moving the Florida in 3 months and these videos are very helpful. Thank you! 😊
So glad they can be of some help to you! Thanks for checking out the channel, and good luck with your move!
What a sweet kitty! So many fun varietals. I had no idea about potato mint. Sounds fun! Loved Hayley giving kisses!
Great video, thanks!

Here here! So much abundance when you know what to look for!
@@TheUrbanHarvest There certainly is.
Omg, you have a lot of knowledge. 😄 and, I love your pets🥰
Thank you!
Thanks for the informative video. These were new plants for me. Wish I could use some of them in KY!
Do you know which would be suitable that would allow for chopping without having to replant? Essentially “mowable”.
Perennial Peanut is mowable, no problem.
This is such a great video, thank you!
Love the bonus kitty content, more cats shots lol

I already have ground cover but i watched because of the really good thumbnail.
Love your channel! I always learn so much. Thank you!
thank you
i love your style 🎉
Do the frogs eat the frog fruit? 🐸i love havig all the wood frogs in my food Forrest and if it feeds them then its a big bonus
You said sunshine mimosa is the only nitrogen fixer on your list. However, perennial peanut is also a nitrogen fixer.
absolutely! must have been a wording slip up : )
We were all a little worried about wether we would see more content. Thank you!!

Do I need to remove the grass if I want to plant the sunshine mimosa?
My ac drain comes out of the house very low to the ground.!8?3 been trying to brainstorm ways to collect it but im not sure what I can fit under it

Are there ground covers that are safe for around septic tank drain fields, what i mean is that ground covers that dont have deep roots that may clog up drain fields?
All the animals ❤😂❤
No mention of cold tolerance so assuming these will only grow in FL.
most are sub tropical yes. some will just die back over winter and can be grown seasonally.
Kudzu Is a good ground cover
thats a doozy here we dont get cold to take it back.
@@TheUrbanHarvest Kudzu a great ground cover, tree cover, and house cover. It covers it all. 😂
