There's an old Native American gardening technique known as the 3 Sisters, where beans, corn and squash are all grown together in the same plot and live in symbiosis together. The beans provide nitrogen to the soil, the corn stalks provide scaffolding for the bean stalk to grow on, and the squash helps the soil retain moisture by providing ground cover.

Similar to how they would use fish carcasses as fertilizer. Some discoveries are completely accidental ( penicillin for example ). In a similar instance, the vast grasslands of the Great Planes were set on fire on a regular basis ( possibly after noticing how well the grasses would grow back after a natural wild fire ) to create optimal grazing habitat for buffalo, which was the chief food source for the nations in that region.

I've never grown anything, but I surprised that Potatoes weren't on the list. From what I've heard, potatoes should be #1.

Just on the carrot comes from Afghanistan thing: Afghanistan actually has an incredible almost year round growing season and crazy fertile soil. The only limiting factor in afghanistan for crop growth is water availability. Literally anywhere somebody can dig a well you have these crazy lush green patches surrounding them. -US Marine and gardener since age 6 who spent 4 years there Growing stuff in afghanistan is easy as hell granted you can find water (not easy). Its sad too, because if they had access to modern tech they'd be a practical modern day eden. Sadly, they do not, and can only access water that is either naturally occurring, or is shallow enough below ground to dig to by hand. Even if accessed, they can only transport it so far from the source, limiting most farms to an acre or two at most.

Note: Zucchini's flowers are ebible as well, and super tasty. You fry them in a batter made with flour, eggs, a bit of milk. They have a nice sweet taste.

I recommend sun chokes. Cousin to the sunflower, so they'll grow anywhere that sunflowers grow wild. No weeding, no pest control, just water them and stay out of their way. Best part, you can't get all the roots (that's the part you eat) and next year's crop grows from the bits left from last year's crop. Looks like ginger, but tastes more like jicama.

Potatoes, tomatoes, carrots, onions, scallions, squash, parsley, peppers you name it, we always had it. Every year. Then I moved to a big city and then i realized how amazing home grown food is.... In the city every crop taste likes water because of the chemicals and whatever... They make it grow fast and big with injections etc.... I just realized that I have been eating organic food ever since... Mark's videos inspired me to get out and do my own crops. Since then I've been growing my own tomatoes, carrots, chillies, squashes, paprikas, and even watermelons. Thank you, Mark

30-year gardener here... I've had an 1800' plot with terribly weedy, compacted commercially-driven-on CLAY soil for 9 years... I thought I'd never succeed in getting that soil going. Tilling, wintercropping, nothing worked except on one tiny space--digging a hole & adding canes, leaves, canes, alfalfa meal, etc + dirt. That's @ 80'. Ha! I even tried round-up, which made me sick and did not work. Last year I poured20 gallons of vinegar over the whole thing (except the good bit) and covered it with Planck plastic fora year. It was a desperate last-ditch effort. I gardened in boxes & bales on top. (The bales performed poorly.) I got tons of tomatoes, carrots, onions, cukes, basil, celery (!), and miscellaneous others as well as a big patch of perennials in the center. This year I was laid off from my job of 17years. I got right out in the garden. The vinegar/plastic had worked on the weeds! Now that soil...a friend turned me on to an EASY method: Loosen (not turn) the soil. Lay weeds/kitchen waste/whatever raw compost you have on it...or half-raw. Fertilize & water it. Put @ 2" fully composted material over this. Fertilize with mild liquid fertilizer (worm poo tea, etc) and water. Lay wet newspaper, @ 10 sheets thick & overlapping to drain into the mound, not run off, on the mound. Water. Lay 2" compost again to cover. Cut Xes in the paper, add compost, add bone meal, plant your starts. Mulch w/ straw, pine straw, leaves, etc. I was able, in less than two months, to plant the entire 1800'. Now I wish I had more.
