They source locally (okra farmers take note), and are offering 10% of all okra seed sea salt sales to our non-profit for ALL of 2020 as a thank you! In 2020 the okra seed sea salt is a regular and popular item in their product line. In 2018 we worked with Well Seasoned Table, a local business willing to experiment, on okra seed sea salt. Part of our mission is exploring new uses for traditional crops. Our collaboration with is a great example of the mutually beneficial network we are working towards. #summergreens #diversefood #chayote #chaya #taro #moringa #hibiscus #okra #southernpeas #basil #squash #sweetpotato #eatyourgreens #leafygreens #greens #notallgreensarered. Southern Pea (Vigna unguiculata)ĥ (bottom). This picture shows a world of possibilities, but it also shows the world.ĥ (top). But climate justice and climate work goes hand in hand with social justice and social work, so respecting those who came before (the work, the culture, the traditons, the people) is critical to our journey. We support eating and exploring these crops, and there is resilience in a diversified food system that will be much needed as climate change continues. They belong to cultures older and wiser, ancestral work done to create many of the food crops that exist today, both known and forgotten. Even though you may never have tried (or maybe heard) of some of these, they are not new. Here's a selection of edible summer greens growing at the #experimentalfarm right now.
#westafricanokra #okra #abelmoschuscaillei #tuspokra #seedsaving #seeds #farming. Well, guess what? Okra now claims at least two species in my mind and one of them is a kick ass hexaploid endemic to West Africa! Any of five squash species are collectively called squash, kale is split across two or three species. It was an eye opening moment that made okra even more expansive for me. I tried to explain that this wasn't really okra even though it looks like okra and she said, 'You can't tell me this isn't okra, who's to say what is and isn't okra.' So far it's one if the healthiest looking cultivars in the field and when visited yesterday, she gravitated towards Motherland Okra with no influence from me and sat down next to the plants. This variety is very special to him and he's called it Motherland Okra. One of the many Abelmoschus varieties we're growing this year is a variety of West African Okra (Abelmoschus caillei) that Jon Jackson of has been stewarding after receiving seeds from his mother's homeland of Liberia.

tetraphyllus, with a leaf harvest, a dried flower harvest and an oil seed harvest. They also produce pink flowers which can be harvested easily after pollination, so I'm considering the triple crop potential of A. We're growing two of these assessions from the USDA with an oil seed content of 23%, which is the highest we know of in any Abelmoschus species. The flowers can be dried for tea and the leaves are edible and the plants are stunning!Ībelmoschus manihot has a number of subspecies, including Abelmoschus manihot subspecies tetraphyllus var. Abelmoschus manihot flowers are beautiful ❤️ we're growing a few different Abelmoschus manihot varieties this year and none of them are flowering yet, but this Korean Silk Flower is a variety that we've been growing for many years and is a reliable heavy producer.
