1. Dude, I'm loving this channel. I'm agronomist from Brazil. Over here those plants grow everywhere. There r indeed people who knows how to put them into food. Mostly elder ppl.

3. Wild Amaranth is very popular in Philippines. Very tasty with bean soups or cook with other dishes. Very nutritious! I am going to checkif Sambar Spinach is the same one we have. Thanks for sharing.
4. Hi
   Yr video is some great practical knowledge
   Thanks for sharing.
   M all set to grow perennial food.
   I have loads of purslane.
   Wild once n those grown for flowers.
   Wild Amaranth too.
   Which grows in abundance here.
   I use Amaranth as chop n drop weed.
   Looking for seeds of okra trees n Ivy gourd.
   Can u pls help me wd them.
   I live in drier part of India.
   Water is very scarce here.
   Summers r prolonged wd scorching heat.
   Which kills almost all delicates.
   M also looking for yr help on what to grow here as perennial food.
5. Excellent info. I am trying to establish something similar in mediterranean climate. Amaranth and purslane are annuals around here because we do get frost in winter, but they do come back by themselves. Might you know any perennial foodplants originating from tropical climate but might survive a few frostnights a year? I'm currently trying to get seeds from breadfruit, moringa and malabar spinach. This is my website if curious: http://aegeanedibles.weebly.com/
6. Good information. Ivy gourd ( Kovakka) in Malayalam, is a good perennial vegetable too. An added bonus is that the leaves are edible and specially good for diabetics.
7. very informative..thank you for the efforts putting in our land. its great to know the Technic and usefulness of the local plants and their importance in co-existing in nature.
8. anyway of getting some of those tree okra seeds?
9. What you called Sambar Spinach is more commonly known as Surinam Spinach - brilliant little plant.
   
   In Sydney I also grow a lot of Okinawa Spinach, Brazil Spinach, Moringa and the mushroom plant. They are awesome and I always have an excess of greens to eat.
10. A very informative video :) ... Thanks loads ..
    A video on perennial cultivation methods would be really cool ..

11. hi , im intrested in perennial edible vegi and greens ( mostly the ones that the leaves and flowers are not poisonus ) can I buy seeds form you guys ( im from Trinidad  W.I. ) need to grow edibles only , for an autistic son tan also have pica .
12. I share your excitement Jagannath. We just harvested one and 8 more are in the making. Although the same kind, because our grove grew from one plant, each fruit bunch is very different in size which I find peculiar. We were advice to cut off the flower as soon as it stops bearing fruit but I am not sure if this improved the fruit size. Maybe. I wonder what do you hear about cutting the flower. Also, after initially watching your videos, we cleaned up our neglected banana grove and what I discovered is that under the trees exists a beautiful micro climate. I seeded tomatoes there and they are healthy and already blooming unlike in my little greenhouse where they are sick and could not root. I also use the shade under the bananas for nursing seedlings which are doing very well there. We have expended this area with a circle per your instructions adding papaya and pumpkin which is already flowering and spreading madly. Most garbanzo seeds I threw in are up and growing. I am not crying with frustration anymore. Turns out our bananas are providing not only fruit but mainly a fantastic environment for other plants to grow. Thank you again for sharing your observations. Your energy and knowledge is transmittable.
13. do you need any free help
14. Thanks for sharing.
15. i want to add Gherkin and Moringa to your list
16. Great information, Jagannath! This is something I will have in mind soon.   :-)
