One Green World Online - Check it out for Edible Landscapes!

I had a chance to see this place first hand.  Its an interesting operation.  They seem to be true edible enthusiasts.  I purchased a huge amount of bare root strawberries of different varieties here.   Virtually all of them have rooted and started growing in far less than optimal weather.  On my 10 acre project in Estacada the owner has already planted many trees and shrubs from One Green World, most of which seem to be doing quite well.

Many of their trees and shrubs are very small.  This is not a problem if you have patience and a green thumb.  Its the species and varieties that they carry which make them such a treasure.  If you are looking for that one plant like 'sea buckthorn' or any other obscure Permaculture perennial, check this place out.  They seem to specialize in temperate perennials but that is not all.  They have a huge catalog of all edible plants.  They mostly all over the U.S. so it would behoove you all to check it out.  Not sure about international.

Dandelion

Would pigs enjoy this dandelion? Does it break up soil? How many times has this plant been topped?  It is quite clear how this is a perennial.  The dandelion is soil busting, mineral mining, great food, and has great roots.
