Foot and Fire

We call it food plant because they are not only pretty horticultural-wise but also edible.         We gave away the seedlings we also planted in our yard. I posted Carissa Carandas , peanutbutter fruit tree , and brazilian spinach in the past blogs and I invite everyone to revisit them.
