"I love that you've brought this to attention. An extensive database of uncommon but resistant and hardy plants/foods could be developed and organized by climate. Ease of growth and processing should also be taken in to account. I will try to…"
A crash course in changing the world.
The Available Garden.
So I've decided to take the free food thing across the road.
My goal is to plant some fruit trees on the fence-line so that kids (and adults too!) can help themselves to a nutritious snack any time they want.
The question becomes: Which fruit?
It is a matter of what will grow in the position chosen and what will be an attractive food for kids.
To this end, I've bid on a couple of trees that I haven't seen in my local nurseries, but which should grow well and be very tasty:
The amazing black sapote tree (Diospyros digyna) is native to Mexico. The fruit it produces is very sought after because
of it's amazing taste. IT TASTES JUST LIKE CHOCOLATE PUDDING. That is
not the only amazingly great thing about the tree, but the fruit has up
to 2 times the vitamin C as an orange.
&
Ice cream Bean (Inga edulis)
They put out large pods
containing a row of seeds. Each seed is coated in a white cotton-like layer
that tastes like vanilla ice cream. They are ready to pick when the pods bulge
outwards in the centre. A fast growing shade tree that is
native to South America and are planted
there on a rotational basis with other crops, as they return soil fertility
after slashing and burning.
I think these two trees sound like something that will grow well in the position chosen, will be tasty and will offer a nutritional benefit to kids.
I would love to find some tasty "bush foods", shrubs and bushes native to Australia, but I think these two choices are a good start.
I have uploaded some pics of the intended position, and will update when plants arrive and are settled into their new home.

In addition the Stinging Nettle consists…See More

Future
FutureToday is 2020/1/1. It is just like yesterday. The war is still continuing. It has started since 2010. In 2010, that year was a horrible year. Almost every energy ran out.

Food was bought up xawayx at once. There were no more food supplies in any shops. The economy was all crushed down. All the…See More

The exchange works directly for state and public workers and servants. It gives them credit in exchange for the amount of public work they contribute to the community. The more constructive they are based off a base rate the more credit they recieve.
