The young leaves are good to eat and they make beautiful cut flowers. And if you're really patient, you can gather and eat the seeds. #amaranth #pseudocereal #forestagriculture #foodforest #forestgarden #agroecology #agroforestry #permaculture #cutflowers

Looking at how to plan a multi-story planting at the #forestgarden with with #futureharvestcasa and #bowiecroftongardenclub.

Aronia (Chokeberries) are about ripe. They are super astringent so they're best used for juice, jams, or other ways that remove the skin. #aronia #chokeberry #forestagriculture #forestgarden #foodforest #agroecology #agroforestry #permaculture #localfood #mdgrown #fruit
