??? Questions on required plants??? Sweet clover - this BB is for human food, what harvest for humans are you expecting? I can see this feeding nitrogen to other plants, or feeding livestock but other than a couple leaves/flowers for garnish this is not a food crop.
Crocus - saffron is a spice from a specific variety, I don't know if others are safe to eat and a spice is again garnish not food crop.
Daffodil - these are toxic! I take great pains to make sure I never plant onions or garlic near where I have daffodils to prevent accidents.

Paul has said some species are required for support reasons, not to eat.

Ok support species but garlic and onion are on the list and I don't want garlic and daffodils anywhere near each other because accidents can be very tragic. If I'm making a food forest I don't want to plant known toxic plants that have no edible parts. This should last way beyond me and I don't want future Forest users to poison themselves because they don't know what is and isn't safe.

Nancy Reading wrote:Just a quick question. Would plants grown under protection count? I think I could manage three sisters and cucumber and some of the other more heat requiring plants in my polytunnel (high tunnel), my climate is just too cool for many of the required plants to crop or, in some cases, even grow outside. Lack of irrigation would be a new challenge for me!
