Unusual Peace Plants #1

This Month we focus on edible uses of unusual plants:

There are no edible uses listed for Cypripedium acaule. Also known as 'Lady Slipper'

Instructions for cultivation are here (.pdf)

 There are no material uses listed for Cypripedium acaule but it is good as a nervine when mixed with Peppermint and Chamomile. It can work as well as Valerian. Consult a herbalist.

Hemp has several thousand uses and is commercially profitable and viable, the potential problems and business are discussed here 

Seabuckthorn was Hippocrates favourite bush. It has the health-giving properties of being extremely high in Vitamin C and other vitamins as well as being very friendly for your liver (see recent clinical trials) and the oils are said to produce Omega 7, as does the Macadamia and other nuts and seeds (but in a lower amount)

It seems that it is common sense to grow it if you can. It is meant to grow in coastal, cool areas, but has been successful here in our west facing London Garden. And Obviously grew well in Greece.

It wouldn't grow indoors but a list of indoor shade plants is here (of course with the right lighting, and new solar-powered energy (battery) advances, anything is possible and anything can be grown indoors)

 It seems like the more secure future, with so many apartment blocks, that a marriage of minimalist and indoor flora/fauna is here to stay. I will be advertising related (only very good/exceptional) things here from time to time.

Here is a an example of a vertical herb garden in a kitchen.
