Like most fruits, Cantaloupes are high in Vitamin C and Vitamin A. They are also a good source of potassium and vitamin B6. It is a good idea to wash cantaloupe thoroughly before cutting into it, as the outside surface can contain Salmonella and other harmful bacteria. The fruit is usually kept from directly touching ground to help prevent rot. This can be achieved by putting cardboard, straw or blocks of wood under the fruit, or by trellising the plant. When trellised, the fruit must be support |

I grew 4 plants in Flint Mi in 2010 had great results
harvesting 18 melons between 5.5 and 14 lbs. They were the
sweetest melons I have ever tasted, and very easy to
determine when to pick (the green rind starts to turn
yellow)this link will show one just turning yellow.

The berries of this plant are a food source for many species of birds. It has also been used as a herbal remedy for allergies and herpes. However, there have also been some reported fatal poisonings as a result of ingestion likely due to a poison called solanine found in the plant.

The flowers and leaves also have medicinal value in China. When paired with Forsythia suspensa it is used to "dispel heat and remove toxins". In Chinese medicine it is called Jinn Yin Hua and has "antitoxin, anti-bacterial, antipyretic, and anti-inflammatory properties", used in treatment of "fevers, skin rashes, and sore throat"(Wikipedia).

Beans are one of the longest-cultivated plants, broad beans having been grown at least since ancient Egypt, and the common bean for six thousand years in the Americas. Medicinal Uses: Diuretic Bean pods are effective in lowing blood sugar levels and can be used (with the concurrence of a doctor) for mild cases of diabetes. A bean pod diet for this purpose would mean eating 9-16 lb. of pods per week (they can be cooked like vegetables). The pods are most effective before the beans are ripe, and |

Pepper has been used as a spice in India since prehistoric times. Peppercorns were a much prized trade good, often referred to as "black gold" and used as a form of commodity money. The term "peppercorn rent" still exists today. The ancient history of black pepper is often interlinked with (and confused with) that of long pepper, the dried fruit of closely related Piper longum. The Romans knew of both and often referred to either as just "piper". Medicinal Uses: B |

Heliconias are an important food source for forest hummingbirds, especially the hermits (Phathornithinae), some of which – such as the Rufous-breasted Hermit (Glaucis hirsuta) – also use the plant for nesting. The Honduran White Bat (Ectophylla alba) also lives in tents it makes from heliconia leaves. Cultivation: Heliconias should be planted in a draining soil with the top sticking out of the ground. Heliconias flourish well in loamy soils rich in humus. Heliconias need sunlight, with temperat |

Windowleaf was formerly grown in greenhouses in England for the edible fruits, called cerimans or monsteras, and is still cultivated for that purpose (outdoors) in parts of Central America, Australia, California and South Florida. Plants need especially ideal conditions, consisting of high humidity, constantly warm temperatures and bright, indirect light, before they will produce fruit. Plants cultivated for fruit are usually grown on the ground in half shade, like pineapple Medicinal Uses: The |

High John the Conqueror is a legendary figure, a black slave who by virtue of his cleverness and quick wits always managed to get the best of his "masters." It is only within comparatively recent years that any certainty has existed in relation to the plant from which jalap root is obtained. It was first spoken of in 1609, as Bryonia mechoacana nigricans, then it was regarded by Ray as Convolvulus Americanus jalapium dictus, after which Tournefort, being deceived by persons who assert |

Field bindweed is a native of Europe and western Asia and was first documented in the United States in 1739 in Virginia. The plant most likely arrived in the United States as a contaminant in farm and garden seeds. Field bindweed was reported in Pennsylvania in 1812 and Maine in 1824. The plant rapidly spread westward after completion of the railroad and appeared in Kansas by 1877. Field bindweed infested all of the western states by 1900.

Although very nutritious, the species should not be eaten in large quantities due to its purgative effects. The purgative effects can also be used for medicinal purposes as a diuretic.
