Edible Plants In Frisco Texas

Got done taping the show today and was picking up some coffee so I stopped and shot a quick video of some edibles in the middle of a shopping center, these are used for landscaping and I am pretty sure the people planing it don't have a clue what it really is. I also talk a bit about sun chokes (jerusalem artichokes) and cardoon as well. All of this is less then a mile from the office I work in.

The yucca can be used to make cordage or dug up to harvest edible roots.

I get the feeling a lot of landscapers will only plant edible plants in order to limit liability of someone's pet ingesting them. They don't want somene suing them for planting poisonous plants that kill something. Likewise, you just never know when some kids dare their friend to eat a leaf off of something, and you don't want to get sued for the kid ending up in the ER. So, I think it's no coincidence how many edibles you're seeing.

@therandomdot - That is a good theory but it doesn't hold water with reality. I could have shown you 10 toxic plants for each edible on this little jaunt. Not to mention that the leaves of sweet potato are not edible.

The sweet potatoes... how do you know for sure they aren't for decoration use only? I have bought some plants and herbs in stores they say for decoration use only? Anyone?

[survivalpodcasting]

@hydrobot2003 There is no such thing as a sweet potato that is for "decoration use only", that would be marketing not reality. I ended up with a few hundred pounds of tubers from one of the apartment complexes where the maintenance workers were cool

O.K. I learned more in the last 4:40 seconds then I did all day. This video is an eye opener for me and I will never look at decorative plants the same way again. The fishing wouldn't last long but if you get there first, all is good. I just started prepping and I went looking for information just like this. I live in Plano, TX. and this info is handy and good to know. TY

@78grizzly4 II can't speak for survivalpodcasting but there are several books on wild edible/medicinal plants. There is also a great channel called EatTheWeeds. Check it out.
