This is just an introduction to Covert Gardening....and anyone can do it, virtually anywhere! We will talk more about it in a future video on just that, but for now, I hope this gets you thinking about it. And now you know one of my favorite suggestions for getting started! I love this beautiful and valuable plant!

It would be wonderful if you could do a whole series on covert gardening. Perfect for prepping and urban homesteading. Love your content.
Thanks for the suggestion. I just might do that, FrickinBailey!
I was hoping it already was a series☹️. It is really a great idea to make a series on covert gardening.
I hear you, Deb, and will start working on the content for that!
PREPSTEADERS look forward to it! Loved this video and you ghee and acv video!

You have such an endearing personality that it is a pleasure to watch your videos and hear your bible verse readings.
RonRay She does have a very calming voice. I love her videos.
Thank you for the encouragement, Ron!
Oh my Lord! I just trimmed down this plant in my front yard today. I didn’t know we even had this or even know it is edible. I opened up these pods my son said they looked like beans. So grateful for your videos. I pray you continue to be inspired to bless us. Never knew what we had. Praise Jesus, God bless you and your family.
Moringa, properly controlled kudzu, tree kale, tree collard, wetlands taro, even pea plants (eat the end 1 foot stems and leaves -steam up for greens).
Have a hidey hole inside garden, inside of a maximum shrubby-viney growing perimeter (or a thorny blackberry patch). Metal fence posts with tight horse fencing, emplaced into the ground (countering rabbits, gophers etc), allow the blackberries to grow on the 8 foot high fencing, surrounding the enclosure. Have a fence gate (locked) that opens inward. Must have a hidey crawl-hole through the blackberries to the fence, all else is massively thorn patch of death. Keep the inward garden enclosure trimmed and keep down the shrubs or thorns from overtaking the inside garden area. Have raised beds and vertical fencing and upside-down "U" for growing on all 4 sides of the fencing, and over the wire pergola, or put in a wooden pergola structure. The blackberries keep the deer from jumping inside, while the low fencing keeps the small critters outside. With enough space, rabbit hutches can be put inside, with enough water resources (for irrigation and critter drinking). Use the excess veggies for rabbit food, and the rabbit doodles for composting, and aquaponic liquid fertilizer. Grow the comfrey through the garden for chop-and-drop. Tall tree kale, tree collard, and other vines can be grown on the vertical fencing (melons, cukes, squash, gourds, ... all love vertical gardening). Maximum sunlight, growth, and production. And if you want to catch some critters, possum, raccoon, (ew skunk !), rabbits, hares), then having a single or multiple portals in the fence with a havahart or the new product "squirrenator" traps, you can then entice, trap, capture, and move them into their own hutches and habitries for breeding, and future expanded food species production. All vegs and herbs can be grown inside. Nobody knows what is inside because the 8 ft tall thorn patch covers up the entire perimeter. Make sure that you plant the perimeter to 3 feet wide of thorns or other bushy shrubby plants, preventing any looky-loos or being able to see inside the area. If a well head is inside the unit, then pumping for irrigation and watering the critters is possible, or have a buried (and non-observable trail of ditch digging from the well head or house to the hidey, then you can have your decentralized water resource. Fill up drums or barrels of water, that could also be used with a small hand pump, so that you aren't constantly pumping water, but filling up an entire barrel, then only using such small time for irrigating and critter watering, ... and not being seen to disappear inside the hidey, and coming out after such a long period of time. An inside area of 15 x 15, with one side being the north protected side (and summer sunlight warmth) for the hutch critters. The south side is for all the growing rows N-S, allowing all sides of the rows to get morning to evening sun, and also shading the hot summer sun from the critters, but also protecting them from the cold and wind chills in winter. YT OYR Frugal even shows how using a poly film over the wiring can still grow plants in winter with 6+ inches of snow on the outside (!). His food forest can be the same for all the plants. Having ~150 sq ft (10 x 15 ft of the available 15x15) and growing vertical is more food production than square foot gardening. The possibility of also using shelving inside the area, and using PVC rain gutters with composting in the gutter, tilted at an angle, and only need to irrigate the top of the gutter, and the water runs down the incline, watering everything as it passes along. Such shelving on both sides can grow all the land lubber plants (lettuce, radish,...) while true growing broccoli, cauliflower, and beets can turn into trees - and just eat the leaves and flowers. (We have a community garden where abandoned garden plots with beets (the root is 8 inches diameter x 3+ feet long, and the height is ~6 ft tall). Just picking and eating the leaves is more than enough. Same for huge tree-shrubs of broccoli and cauliflower leaves and flowers. Pack that in with tree kale, tree collards, ... and the other land-lubber cabbage, kale, collards, etc, and you have huge edibles.
Thank you for sharing some excellent additions to any "covert garden", John! Wow!
excellent...God bless...doug
Would also be a great idea for growing food covertly in housing communities that don't allow vegetable gardens. I'll check it out for all the benefits you mentioned.
They are supposed to be poisonous and give you stomach if eaten raw, but we eat them cooked for years and years. But yes they are delicious. Thanks.
I haven't experienced that, but I am glad you enjoy eating them. Here is a helpful article on their edibility: www.eattheweeds.com/hyacinth-bean-purple-protein-and-more-2/
I m beginning to c that u r as beautiful inside as u r outside....dont quit.....
😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Thank you so much! :)
Nasturtium is a pretty flowering plant and the flowers and leaves are edible, they are high in vitamin C. The flowers have a peppery flavor and are great in soups or salads
You are so polite and sweet 💜the way you explained the whole thing was awesome. Happy to know about this amazing plans 😊🌱
I'm creating a covert orchard. I've learned to start apples trees from seed and Mulberry trees from cuttings. Once established in pots, I transplant them In the wilder wooded portion of our property. when mature, if the apple trees don't produce viable fruit, I'm planning to graft from my existing trees. the mulberries will produce like the parent plant. we've also transplanted volunteer walnut trees that we find here and there and have a what we are calling our walnut grove which is sheltered by the already existing Cedar grove. The first transplants are 11 years old now and are beginning to produce walnuts for us. good video. most folks don't have a clue where their food comes from, We have wild garlic and chives, plum, asparagus, thistle and grapes on the property. you just have to know where to look. great video. thanks for sharing.
I'm excited to try these! Jerusalem artichoke is another great covert plant, A 6-10 feet tall sunflower type plant that produce a ginger sized potato like root that has a delicious smoky flavor. Easy to grow, you can dig them out of the ground all winter, but they are invasive so give them their own spot.
Many times there are so many weeds in my garden the whole thing is incognito! ;-)
Grape arbor and gazebo, unusual fruit or nut trees for shade and blooms but producing fruit...an apple tree will produce a ton of apples a year and is a good looking tree. Bushes should be like pomegranite or jujubee or bush cherries ...collard is a perennial herb and rosemary makes an ornamental bush. If you landscape flower beds you can grow edible carnations roses and day lillies and chives make a nice border. I imagine a house where everything growing is edible. ...what a wonderful place it would be!
That would be a wonderful place! :)
I started studying wild edibles more than 40 years ago. Here in Western NY State and in the Adirondacks there's so many acres of land full of food and medicines that nearly no one knows about. I've gone camping with others that struggled to bring along enough food, I brought nearly no food and ate so much better than they did.
Thanks for the video
s fetterly, would you share your , favorite info and books on wild edibles and medicines that Noone knows about ?
We are in arabi county have a lot of plants used in medical -there is prophesier Ahmed Ben gashah discovered many tree in stadia Arabia l I’ll give you his video
Hyacinth Bean is so delicious we get green and white beans and the outer covering is green!. The pods are completely edible when we pressure cook it with a pinch of salt.
This is an important topic for preppers!
My favorite covert food production is through sunchokes for same reason (won’t b recognized as food by the desperately unprepared in shtf/ wrol scenario
Yes! Those are a great addition. Thank you for sharing!
What is a sun choke ?
@@ElinWinblad It sounds like an artichoke type thing but it's best to Google it.
@@ElinWinblad Yeah, I looked it up. They are called Jerusalem artichokes as well. An article said they were "a great source of iron, calcium, magnesium, and potassium. Not to mention, they're also low-calorie, fiber-rich, and contain the carbohydrate inulin, which helps to keep blood and glucose levels stable." You eat the root. They can be eaten raw or cooked though I recommend cooking them. You don't have to peel them.
@@ElinWinblad They are native to North America on the east coast. All the way from northern Florida to Canada.
I plant my seeds 3 weeks ago and now they are growing 💗💗💗
Great info as always.👍 Praying for you always. 🙏 May God continue to bless the work of your hands. 😇
Oh, do keep praying! Thank you so much! God bless you too!
Wonderful information with such a lovely plant. I have plans to bring in pot or two of herbs like basil and maybe lemon grass for winter. Replacing house plants that I'm thinning out, but some wouldn't think of the two as not a house plant.
Also, I was made aware a year or so ago that some postal services serving rural areas will no longer deliver your mail if the mailbox is surrounded with plants that attract bees or wasps. Apparently, some drivers are allergic enough to warrant the restriction. It makes sense, but until I was told that, it was unknown to me.
My favorite 'covert' plant is Dandelion. Most people call it a weed. smh They just don't know. The very sad reality is that many people will starve to death when they can literally dine on the 'weeds' in their back yard.
Mamma Kaye Lee is there a variety of it that we shouldn’t eat?
@@ElinWinblad - Go do your research like everyone else. =)
You'll find an amazing wealth of info to tuck away for a rainy day, far beyond your basic question.
A nice place to start: www.eattheweeds.com/
There's also chickweed in spring. Tastes like lettuce.
Stinging nettle is even better :-)
I live in Toronto, Canada. I am growing this purple bean plant last 3years. Nice and delicious. However we only eat cooked bean. Thank you for video.
Hey 💚💚💚 thanks for the info. I just started growing these in Hawaii. I have quite a few bee colonies. May Mother Nature shine her light on you and your ohana! ⭐⭐⭐
This was awesome to share. I love the beauty of the hyacinth bean. So pretty. Love the idea of creating a hedge too. You are such a beautiful soul. Thanks so much for sharing. God Bless you ~Lisa
Hi Christa, You are such a wealth of knowledge. I love your channel. And your new opening is fantastic!! Thank you for all the info you share. And I’m looking forward to learning more about this hyacinth plant. Love, Mary ❤️😘❤️
Thank you! What a beautiful plant! I love it.
Another amazing find. Each and every video of yours is something I want to share with everyone I love. You really do need your own show on a network... your knowledge, grace and beauty (and not just outward beauty) are something I think everyone should enjoy as much as I do. 💖 Blessings to you.
Hi Christa, I was just watching your video on growing sweet potatoes and was thinking this would be a good one to add to the covert garden. Most people would not recognize it especially outside the regular garden. Thanks for all the great videos.
EXCELLENT video and information! Thank you. Just what I was looking for. I have subscribed!
Hi, I listened to you and planted three of this bean plant under cattle panels this year. The vibrantly purple flowers and pods are quite beautiful on top of the vines. Now I know what to grow if I want a climbing interest in the garden. The edible part is extra bonus. Thank you for sharing.
Wow I had no idea. Grew them many years just because they are beautiful.
I got the seeds from the Amish in Pennsylvania. Thanks for your expertise. 😉
These beans are eaten by Indians in India. There are many varieties. We slice the beans and cook them with dal or grated coconut. Or simply stir fried with spices. 😊
I’m a Malaysian Indian and eat them too. So glad for you.
A really great use for this plant is as a privacy fence / nutrient aggregation in ugly areas of your yard. This thing grows in any soil and picks up a ton of minerals from the soil which you can prune and add to your compost pile or even as green manure. Similar to how many people use comfrey, but with the added benefit that it grows high and think.
Thank you so much for this video! Ive been wanting to grow these with my daughter 😊 just got the seeds this weekend. Cant wait!
I have grown this for years as an ornamental. I have vaguely read that it was poisonous but not until today did I come cross multiple sources saying otherwise. THANK YOU!
❤en Ecuador lo hemos consumido desde siempre sobre todo en área rural
Absolutely love your videos. You have the sweetest voice. God bless💜💜
Grows great in partial shade also. My only gets about 4 hours of direct sun and day and it does very well with stems as big around as my index finger. In Maryland I put the seeds in the ground in mid April.
Wow these are beautiful love the added touch of a bible verse at the end
According to most internet resources, the beans are NOT edible unless cooked in a specific way. Beautiful plant - it reseeds in my NY garden and I enjoy the foliage and flowers.
Susan, I don't know where you are reading exactly...but take a look at this article: www.eattheweeds.com/hyacinth-bean-purple-protein-and-more-2/
I just read this article and it says NOT to eat raw uncooked seeds.
It is my favorite food.
Lupini beans are the same way, toxic uncooked, but soaked for a week or two, they are fine and are a high protien popular european favorite.
Loving the little vintage camper!🤗
Thank you, Sherry! I do just love it too!
Me too it looks perfectly restored like the 60s winnebago in the movie Barefoot .its a sweet chic flick family viewing minus one * go brush your teeth bar scene)
Dandelions are excellent for dandelion jelly. Comfrey is great too. Love it!
Thank you so much for your videos! I would LOVE to have a series on this!!! One of the last things you want is people realising that you have a motherload of edible food in your garden. Common cultivated veggies are usually a big giveaway since they look pretty edible, but they are still so wonderdul to have growing. I'm sure no one will bat an eyelid at your covert garden plants! God bless you, and greetings from the UK! 😊♥️
Yes, Katie! Thank you for the suggestion. We hope to make several more episodes covering this topic!
@@PREPSTEADERS Amazing!! I'm looking forward to it :)
The hyacinth beans in my country tend to just have green leaves. The pods are green with purple tinge.
Indeed that bean bush behind you is full of bees.
but then you sure have a sweet personality.
One compliments the other.
neat post!
Climbing Spinach (Basella rubra) is an annual vine which can be eaten.
Thank you. Many blessings, julie
Love your channel and I love the idea of covert gardening! Thank you and God bless you!
Christa you are just awesome! This is one plant I never knew about. It was great information & you are such a blessing! God brought you at just the right time!
Thank you, Sunny Girl!
love your channel!!!!
Thank you, Denise!
Well done, Christa. I have never heard of this plant. Privacy screening and a food source. That's a great combination.
This is wonderful! My plan is by this spring to plant high protein plans for me and enough to feed my 26 hens. Thanks for the info.
It’s full of bees! Cool!
The bee's in the back don't mind Hyacinth Bean Plant.... Thankyou for this upload!
You r every preppers dream,so knowledgable, and gorgeous,,
We just love your videos. You are doing a great service to believers and prepsteaders. Thank you so much for sharing all this information in such a warm, gentle, genuine way.
I could have taken that bee out @ .0.48 in a nano second . Love all your very informative videos, great too see you again and may there bee many more greatful days ahead.
Thank you and GOD Bless. ☺
Love your videos! Great information. Oh, and you have beautiful hair!
WOW beautiful and useful plant! Thanks for sharing!!
You've got me going again, I like Nasturtium plants edible flowers, leaf and seeds for pickling.
You live a life I could only dream of. God bless you.
Loved this video, and please, readers, if you have suggestions we're all listening!
It grows here in Southwestern Ontario Canada from spring through autumn. I grow them in my backyard garden.
Thank you and GOD bless you.
Thank you for God's Holy Word with rach vedio!!! I love this plant and will be ordering seeds to mak2e a hedge wherever I am called to move. God has me assigned to a church and is moving there. I am very excited to be used by our savior. Thank you for all your vedios which are such a blessings as you are.
But deer eat the leaves. Love all your videos; they are educational, and you deliver with poise and charm.
I am so happy that I found your channel. What an encouraging teacher you are. Thank you for all that you do.
Hi, Home Prepsteaders.We have this bean in Trinidad and Tobago,we call it Seim.It is cooked curried , that is bean, very tasty.
dandelions, honey suckle, and rosebush,Thank you!!!!
This is great advice and most people would never think about this.
In my country Kenya its popular but I didn't know other parts are edible as well.. believed to increase milk for lactating mothers
Super interesting! Thanks again for another wonderful video!!
Thank you, Rob!
Thanks sis. God bless you
Camera work and editing ... top notch quality!
Thank you, Merlin! The credit for that goes to Christopher Greenwood over at ChristosFilms.com!
GREAT VID, YOUR ALWAYS AWESOME INFO, GOD BLESS,THANKS SO MUCH. IM IN CANADA, WEST COAST,NEVER SEEN ONE AROUND HERE.
It's beautiful! I'm thinking I might plant this where I want an edible barrier between my neighbors and myself.
I was just considering the same thing!
Got my first one. Can’t wait till it grows. Bless you for your sweet spirit.
We eat this hyacinth bean for many,many years and we have our local name it but didn't know how to spell it in English. I seek and find on your video. Thanks alot 👍👍
this must be the most beautiful gardener in the world?
Best Armageddon ever! You make the Last Days on earth much more pleasant. Bless you!
Thank you for increasing my knowledge. Blessed you are. So glad I found your videos.
Wow that a beautiful plant
Turk's cap is a great choicr!
Gosh, you really know a lot? and you are very organized and prepared. How nice
My family is from Puerto Rico. We eat these beans in soup or rice.
Who the heck would dislike this video?! 🤨
At 0.48 I could have taken that bee out quicker than a blink . Love all of your videos and bee there many more grestful days.
Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds carry them in Missouri.
Awesome as usual. I have been looking for other plants I can grow in the suburbs this will be a great addition. Thanks again. Purslane, sweet potatoes, and now the bean plant. Love it for the bees as well.
After reading thru many of the comments I wondered how much you researched this plant before promoting it on your channel? I love love love the scriptures and blessings. Cheers
Yes apparently we can grow them here in Canada,Thanks for the info.!!
I love that plant. it's beautiful and edible!
You are such a joy and a blessing! I look forward to all your videos and I am definitely interested in growing this now that you have shown it to us. Keep up the covert info! Love it!!!
I grow these on a trellis as a ornamental. I didn’t know they were edible. Have you heard of Malabar spinach?. It’s great to grow in the summer heat for a spinach. You can grow it on a trellis or it can grow on the ground, it grows so fast you can practically see it grow. It’s decorative dark green leaves are large and thick. I use it for a replacement for lettuce.
Linda, I have not grown Malabar Spinach but may this coming year! Thank you for the suggestion!!
Remember that the beans must be cooked because of toxins. Don't use the water from boiling them. The flowers, leaves, and pods can be eaten raw or cooked.
I suggest trying the purple variety if you want it as an ornamental (it's what seem to be most common here in Asia).
I love this video! This year I grew this and was looking for good ways to use it! Thank you. 😁
Come visit and stay with us in Alaska! I have sun facing home home, and have apple trees, raspberry plants, but need more winter food all year around food sources . Love your videos!!
Luffa works good for hedges and bees and I can do things with them after.
I had this plant years ago and never know it was eadible.
OK, now I have to grow this next year 👍
Love everything about your videos so much information so relaxing and calming to listen to you thank you and please keep it up God bless
Thank you so much, JoJo. God bless you too!
Peanuts would be unrecognizable to some people. Jicama grow as a vine with attractive flowers like the hyacinth bean's.
Tree Collards and Yams are my incognito plants, I am interested in trying Hycinth Bean.
