WANTED: Starting a diabetic garden

Posted by greenethumbs az (My Page) on

I have not posted a seed list but have many seeds. Let me know what you are looking for. I do mostly heirlooms & open pollenates. Fruits, vegetables & herbs are what I tinker around with. I am wanting to start a diabetic garden. Looking for things like jerusalem artichokes, azetec foods, anything that makes or regulates metabolism of body sugars. For example I have "bitter melon" growing, an herb. I am open to traditional as well as alternative foods that can be either applied and/or ingested. Would be interested in exchanging some roots- I have horseradish & comfrey. Although I am in the low desert I do have friends in the high desert/snow country of az. & this is basically for them. I also need to know if any of these seeds and/or the plants can be toxic to chickens & other livestock. So give me a holler & lets see what we can come up with. Long winded I know........ email me at greenethumbsgardener@gmail.com Thanks! P.S. also looking for viable seed for Salba

Hi Greenthumbs,

I have lots of veggie and edible flower seeds. Not sure if they are the types of things you're looking for, since I've not done a lot of research on some of this. My Daddy's a diabetic, and I know that fresh veggies are much better for a diabetic than canned. So if you'll email me with some specifics, we'll work from there and see if I can help you put together your garden for next spring :)
