3 Tropical Survival Foods You Must Plant in Florida

Love the selections, great choices!

That was a great video Elise! I have all three plants growing here. But I learned a little bit more about what to do with them! Thank you! I have four Moringas which is probably a little more than I need but gosh it's such an amazing plant. And I use all of my trimmings in my dry compost tea..Feel secure to have it! I made flower essence out of my Moringa last month. One of my trees was in abundant full full bloom. I picked the flowers I let them bathe in sunlight and purified water and I actually went through the evening with a full moon. Strained it and then did a 50-50 brandy tincture, in a spray bottle. It just sends a great vibe and feels wonderful to spray on the body. So grateful for all of your knowledge!

I live in central florida and looking to plant all three plants. Do you sell all three? I was looking at your site, I only saw moringa.

Thanks

Not sure how to grow cassava yet. I saw a bit about a cutting...

The chia seed packets say to grow it in the fall. Is that true? Again, how to grow chia wouñd be more useful than the health

5 minutes in and still I don’t know how to grow moringa

I wish you would do a gardening ideo and skip the health lessons. Other videos do that. As you say, us gardeners are short on time.

Just found you as a suggested video. Gonna plant these even though i only have less than half an acre 😕. But I figure, its better to have them and not need them than to need them and not have them. Just subscribed. Have a great day! Zone 9b here. Central Florida.

Youngest leaves of cassava boiled for 5 minutes as per chaya are fine to consume.
I like the idea of making a quick growing attractive temporary fence by planting branches in a cross cross pattern.

Proteins are amino acids.

Love the video! Thank you for sharing. By the way , im new to food gardening. Where do you guys buy these plants? Local nursery?

I had no idea that the yucca plant looked so nice. I love yucca, for me its just boiling the heck out of it then adding some garlic and olive oil.

I highly recommend okinawa Spinach AKA the tomorrow leaves because tomorrow it will Have a new leaf. Little to no pests,Grows so easy and fast don't need to water once it gets established. It also propagates extremely fast from cuttings so you can give them to all your friends and family. It has a broad leaf that is juicy taste good and fills you up and has a nice crunch to it.

I’m in Florida and have had a Moringa tree wherever I’ve lived here for the past 10 years but this year maybe because of the drought we’re in, my tree is dormant. I’m soooo sad!! I’ve been thinking of restarting by cutting off one of its limbs and planting it. I’m glad you’re getting the word out there, cuttings work very well for me. I’ll try seeds though for new plants.

Colour me shocked when you had moringa first! It's one of the first trees I planted now that I started my backyard food forest. Super easy to grow!

I can only grow in pots here in Fort Myers because I’m on the golf course. Can you make some recommendations? Thanks for sharing I’m new to Florida.

Thank you for the info. I am growing Yuca for the first time, but I haven't been able to grow Moringa yet. The seeds won't germinate. Any suggestions or recommendations? I'm in FL zone 9b.

Pasco Florida. Port Richey here.
I am trying to learn to be more self sufficient and love content like this. Thank you so much.

YOU ARE AWESOME THOSE TIPS ARE PERFECT X THIS TROUBLE TIMES. YOU SHOULD ADD VETIVER TO YOUR SURVIVAL KIT. CONGRATS AWESOME VIDEO. I BELIEVE U HAVE A KITTY ON THE BACKGROUND CALLING YOU...LOL

Filipinos diet is rich in moringga or maronggay

Great... nice video

Brown thumbdable. I love it.

does the cyanide leach into pots

🤗 I'm doing good I already have them all! I love this video, very informative! Definitely on my referral list! Florida is my home too! Plant, grow, eat, share, be merry & grateful 🌻

I can’t find a yuca cutting anywhere. I’m in Land O Lakes area. My Wife is Puerto Rican and we eat it it quite a bit.

OUTSTANDING VIDEO!!! You have a new Native Floridian Fan here!! I actually already have 3 Moringa trees in pots that I need to transplant soon! I will be looking for the other 2 plants to start growing as well! Again, great video and THANK YOU!!

This year as part of my chicken feed plan I am planting corn moringa sweet potatoes for the greens sorghum and Mammoth sunflowers

I absolutely love how eloquently you explain in such detail all the information and facts. Love your content. So much respect for you.

I have 2 that I had in containers and recently we had a freeze and they appear to have died. Will they grow back?

Moringa; you will use 1 cup 1 time. Chaya; you will use 1 cup 1 time (Caviat: the best pollinator plant ever) Cassava; perfect.

I wonder if the raw cassava leaves and Chaya is ok for chickens?

Moringa gives me terrible diarrhea

Hi, thank you for the videos. Just moved to Naples, the soil here is only sand. I love gardening. I started with Avocados but they are dying due to the flood we had.
Do you know how can I save them? Thanks

👍

I grew up in the Philippines and these plants are good food! I'm in FL now will check out these plants in the nurseries hope they have them. Thanks for sharing.

Can someone get the baby please

Moringa, I have 2 big trees of it and it’s kind of giants now so I keep pruning it so my other tropical fruit trees won’t be competing in productions. I just cut so many cuttings and gave them away in a 1 gallon pots, neighbors and friends! ❤️🤗

Wow very impormative video . I have plants too .maybe I can apply this on my garden🙂

Where can I get Moringa and Chaya seeds? Just new at this - never mind the question I just need to go to your link above 😀

Hi. Is it possible to get yuca from the actual yuca? By, planting the yuca in the ground or is it only by the cuttings? Thank you for your amazing videos?

I would add cajanus cajan (or guandul), easy to grow and it is nitrogen fixer.

just shared on FB again glad to have found this channel

I'm curious who was crying or squealing near the end of the video ? LoL &thanks for sharing your Florida gardening wisdoms. I am ok with gardening and growing a decent amount of food in the north but in Florida I had no luck. Almost everything I tried to grow either drowned or got eaten by wildlife/buglife. So many different kinds of fruit trees I grew from seed and beautiful melons. Bugs and wildlife always beat me too it. I'm not giving up yet. Also what is your best solutions for not getting eaten also. I have got some pretty nasty wounds from what I'm pretty sure was a spider. It was real bad. Thanks again for sharing your wisdom.

I’ve been eating cassava leaves multiple times a week my whole life. It’s delicious.

What plant zoom are you at?

Seems kind of weird half of my survival plans would contain cyanide. Lol

I like the cassava fry idea. Will frying the cassava remove the cyanide?

I'm surprised you would pick chia over sweat potato or nyame (true yam) ..its just that chia gets old fast,,starch is king when your hungry.
