Looking for chart with vegetable nutritional values.?

Posted on February 5, 2012 by admin| 1 Comment

I want to grow a garden that provides most or all of my food. I have limited space 66ft x 66ft (1/10 acre). So I’d like to grow the most nutritious plants.

Does anyone know where to find a chart with nutritional values of all food plants? (vegetables, fruits, nuts, herbs, fungi)

I’m looking for food plants that are highly nutritious, low maintenance, disease resistant and have a high yield.

I live in zone 10, but I also need to know about plants that are in zone 8.

Maybe you can suggest some food plants.

Thanks

Vegetables/herbs for dry garden?

Posted on February 4, 2012 by admin| 1 Comment

I have an area that I am starting up as a vege garden, but am having trouble due to it drying out and stunting the plants

I water as much as i can and even use a deep root waterer, but unless I do it every day, the plants start to shrivel.

The garden is mulched, soil is poor(quite sandy). I have introduced some compost and manure and the organic material has nearly gone already.

What are some vegetables herbs or other edible/useful plants that I could grow?

Edible flower gardens???

Posted on February 4, 2012 by admin| 5 Comments

I was wondering what flowers are edible by humans. I was talking to a friend of mine about this the other day. I am thinking about starting an edible flower garden and I can’t remember what flowers are edible.

So here are my questions

1. What flowers are edible?
2. What edible flowers will grow in South Louisiana?
3. Do I treat the edible flower garden like I would my vegetable garden, fruit garden, herb garden, trees, or regular flower beds?
4. What are the advantages to the edible flower gardens vs buying the flowers for eating?

What herbs would grow outside and come back next year in the Denver Colorado area?

I’ve tried growing them indoors and keep killing them, so I thought I’d try outside now that I have moved into a home with a great garden.

Thanks!

Indoor garden?

Posted on January 30, 2012 by admin| 1 Comment

I live in an apartment without a patio but I have two E/W facing windows, so I pretty much always have some sunlight.
Are there any relatively small plants(herbs, maybe?) that can be grown indoors, in a small planter, and without a whole lot of light?

Also, having a planter that hangs out of a window isn’t an option because there is a brick “lip” right outside both windows.
