RE: Florida Food Forest (DTube & Photos Galore!) | The Future of Food for Humanity! What is a Food Forest? Answered!
My little garden is kind of mini food forest lol. I also use Moringa and mulberry trees to create shades to protect the plants during the harsh summer. Plants are currently in containers allowing move them from season to season and optimise the arrangement.
The food forest here is amazing. I wish I had a land that size haha.
I could see that from your photos that you are interplanting well and having things at many different layers. You’re doing very well with the space you do have! Yes this place is very inspiring!! 🌿🌍💚
In spring, I set up this garden bed for the Okras and added some variety of moneywort as ground cover. Around the bed, I used some old tomatoe treillis as I wanted to experiment with using Malabar spinach and Ivy Gourd vine to add some shade for the new Okra seedlings. A volunteer rockmelon (cantaloupe) popped inside and I let it grow.
In the end it worked nicely, with some little maintenance to keep the vine from bothering the Okra plants too much.
Awesome! Looks great. Love your interplanting and successional methods 😊 you’ve got a true gardener’s touch for sure!
