Wholeheartedly agree! I grow a few hundred lbs of veg and berries on my urban lot, in a cold climate. I also grew feverfew; chewing a few leaves daily helps with headaches and reportedly helps prevent migraines. It’s very bitter but I don’t mind. Also dried African marigold flowers, the lutein and zeaxanthin in the ingested petals apparently helps with eye health and sight.
I'm sorry I missed this live! I am an organic grower of a specialty food crop (functional food of tangerine tomatoes) and Health & Nutrition Coach with a specialty in Lifestyle Medicine. Also, I've been teaching gardening and involved in home scale urban agriculture as part of sustainability and resilience for 15 years. Glad you're bringing attention to this area. Living in a location with four seasons, the easiest plant to start growing is likely leaf lettuce, specifically, black-seeded simpson. There are issues with insect pests with brassicas and, in the summer, it can get much too hot.
@@nancylucas4231 it's the type of lycopene, called tetra-cis-lycopene. Other tomatoes contain all-trans-lycopene. The preparation is important, because heating tangerine tomatoes will change the chemical structure and they will no longer be more bioavailable than other tomatoes. The all-trans-lycopene must be heated to change the lycopene structure to tetra-cis-lycopene for it to be most readily absorbed into the body. So, with the differing amounts of lycopene, and their chemical structure being different, most doctors and nutritionists don't know this. I actually had a doctor (gatekeeper) of a culinary med certification program gaslight me and say it was speculative. It's not, it can be found on Pubmed, and largely conducted by Ohio State University, and by the Heritage Research Food Crops Trust in New Zealand.
by growing kitchen garden in urban areas and food forest in suburbs and villages many exotic species can be grown with high quality nutritional and medicinal value and by exchanging with neighbours food security and economic stability can be ensured. Many of the exotic fruits and. vegetables were not available in market or are available at high rates because of collection, size, logistics, transport , storage and processing issues.
science should be saved from narratives of vegetarianism or veganism,some type of foods wether plant based or carnivore diet may be beneficial for some set of people but it should not be generalised. Productivity of the garden can be increased by composting animal wast and also health and environmental benefits were obtained by growing free range chickens and grass fed beef and mutton.

What a wonderful podcast! This is such an important way to get exercise, control of our intake of nutrition, and hopefully connect with mother Earth!
Hey doc💙thx i was just drawing my next garden🌱🥦🥒🥬🫑🧅🍅🍆🧄🥔🍅

Do you grow tangerine tomatoes due to their high lycopene content?

Might help if I put volume up!!!! Lol sorry
No sound
And all the more cook them boiling in water or vapor, not fried which would destroy most of the vitamins.
Grow nutritious plants to feed to animals, the proper food for humans.
100%!

If youre going to grow food for humans you need to be raising livestock, not rabbit food.
