Mulberry trees are large members of the Moraceae family that range in height from30-50 feet.While some mulberries come in the form of small bushes, the fruit-bearing types are large trees. They areknown to be hardy, self-pollinating, deciduous trees. The Morus alba (white mulberry) and Morus rubra (red mulberry) hybrids (such as the Downing and Illinois Everbearing) are known for their large, sweet, fruit and hardiness.
Plants that lacks chlorophyll and get its nutrients from organic matter like trees, leaves,dead wood, and waste. “They are nature’s decomposers, organisms that recycle all the dead animalsand plants that accumulate during the course of a normal life and death cycle. Without mushrooms,and other fungi, the earth would be awash in plant and animal debris. Our soils would not bereplenished with fresh humus and our forests would be piled high with leaves, branches, and fallenlogs,” from Reishi Mushrooms by Terry Willard.

Mustard is an annual herb that is native to certain regions in Europe, with roots in Asia, North Africa, and the Middle East as well depending on the variety of mustard. It is a cold-hardy annual and prefers cooler temperatures. Mustard has an extensive history, spanning back to the Stone Age and ancient Egyptian civilizations for its culinary and medicinal uses. All parts of the mustard plant are edible, and its seeds are used to create the condiment that we know and love as mustard, too. This condiment is usually made from white and black mustard seeds, as brown
A Cruciferous vegetable with a peppery flavor and come in different varieties ranging incolor, texture, and shape of leaves from different regions of the world:Ruby Streaks, Red Giant, Scarlet frills, Southern Giant Curled, Golden Frills, Amara, Garnet Giant, RedSplendor, Suehlihung No. 2. (Turnips are in the Brassicaceae (mustard) family and their edible green tops are similar to mustardgreens).
A perennial and deciduous shrub in the Genus of Viburnum from the Family Adoxaceae. It can be large shrub (more than 8 feet), upright compact tree (10-15 feet), or small tree (15-25 feet) with a form arching shape and multi-stemmed, thicket-forming appearance. Nannyberry is known for its dark, lustrous green leaves which turn maroon-red in the fall. Then there are the ivory flowers that appear in late spring, flat-topped inflorescences as wide as your palm with its groups of numerous tiny blossoms. These flowers develop into a colorful mixture of different colored fruits, some light green, others pale yellow
Nasturtium belongs to the Tropaeolaceae family and is native to South America, specifically in Peru. It is a perennial and climbing plant, which can reach a height of up to 11 inches. Its flowering season is from July to September while the seeds will become ripe from August to October. The flowers are large and trumpet-shaped, with some of the most common colors being red, orange, yellow, and creamy white. The leaves and flowers are both edible. Its leaves taste peppery, which will have a stronger flavor as it grows older. Its flowers also have a distinct spiciness, making
Perennial deciduous Wild Raisin are generally multi- stemmed bushes that can grow to 6 ft tall by 6 ft wide, though they’re often smaller. The Honeysuckle Family known as Caprifoliaceae is the shrub’s classification.Some leaves are serrated but this plant is distinguished from other unlobed viburnumsby for lacking star-shaped hairs on underside of leaf and having leaf veins, which branch and reform before reaching the margins. It produces showy white flower cluster and the fruit is a drupe with an elliptic stone and sweet pulp, blue-black, 6 to 12 mm. The Bark is grey or brown and covered with
Oak is in the genus Quercus of the beech family, Fagaceae. Old World and American oaks having 6 to 8 stamens in each floret, acorns that mature in one year and leaf veins that never extend beyond the margin of the leaf. White oaks have larger, rounded lobes on the leaves, and a red oak’s leaves have jagged lobes. Oak is the most common of all the hardwoods.
Okra grows in an elongated, lantern shape vegetable. It is a fuzzy, green colored, and ribbed pod that is approximately 3-5 inches (7.6 to 12.7 cm) in length. This vegetable is more famously known by its rows of tiny seeds and slimy or sticky texture when cut open. It’s from the Mallow family.
As a species of small tree or shrub in the family Oleaceae, the olive tree is a slow-growing evergreen tree with a short trunk, vast crown, numerous branches, and oblong, silvery-green leaves up to 4 inches (10 cm) long. The height may reach 50 feet (15.25 m) but most grow to about 25 feet (7.6 m). Dwarfs go to about 10 feet (3 m) tall. The buds turn into racemes where four petaled white feather-like and strong fragranced flowers appear. The olive has a small pit.

The US Department of Agriculture created the USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map to provide a standard definition of climatic conditions relevant to plant growth and survival. It is used by the agriculture industry to define what plants grow best in what areas. By understanding what zone you’re located in, you can find out which plants will grow best in your area and which won’t.
Dirt is not the same as soil. Simply put, dirt is soil without any life. It is sterile. Dirt is ‘dead’. It contains no biology or non in a living state. Dirt is a mixture of minerals, sand, silt and clay. Sand particles are the largest. Silt are smaller yet and clay is even smaller. Sand will allow water to easily pass through it. Silt will allow water to pass through, but slower than sand. Clay, depending on the layering and the quantity, will block water. It is why clay pots are used to store water
The following process is called an instant garden and it was made popular by Bill Mollison, the person who coined the phrase Permaculture. In short, forests have the largest productions of any growing systems in the world. They also have the widest diversity of life, both above and below the surface of the soil.
