Root veggies

Greens

Legumes

Grains

Squash

Melons

Fruit trees

We also touch a bit on the acquisition of the seeds, both with a recommendation for rareseed.com and what you can buy from the store and plant. We talk a bit about how long it takes to fruit, how to make sweet potato slips and pre sprouting your grains/beans.

The tree for this episode is the Housin Oriental Pear

The news and things to watch out for in this episode are the purchase of grains and corn by the Chinese government from South Africa and bypassing the American market. Maybe part of BRICS?
