Happy growing!
Getting stiff in my older age, my knees and legs sometimes hurt for no reason. I'll walk through the lil nettle patch I planted and let the plants have their way with my painful legs. Yes, it hurts, but when the endorphins kick in, it is heaven. Thank you nettle! Blessings to you and lovely family.
Wait, what?!!! Are you being serious? Because my body is older than it should be. (Younger years spent abusing it) so you're saying nettles would help my aching shoulders? God I hate that plant, but these shoulders are wearing on my nerves, and that's not just a pun. Tell me more?
@@yLeprechaunnot the first time hearing about it. Legit as far as I know
@@satancelery I just wonder about use/application
From what I've gathered, nettles have many compounds in their injected needles that release into your body like a shot. Obviously some are painful, but many are effective for inflammation, and I've heard specifically arthritis chronic type pains. Always start small with something like this though! Look up on RUclips and get more sound advice though!
@@dova1325, Im gonna roll in a patch and blame you if it hurts and don't work. Lol, just kidding.
Seriously, from what I remember as a kid, I don't think I could do anything but start small. I really hate nettles. I can't believe I'm considering this. :)
I've never heard had it explained like this. Thank you
Wow! Beautiful garden, thriving plants. What also impresses me is the enormous knowledge of plants and trees that must be needed to make this work; and thank you for letting this knowledge so casually trickle through your conversation.
While I sit infront of the fire drinking my coffee expecting a day of solid snowfall on the mountains around us it is very motivating to watch you walking around your summer crops.
I paid for a consultation with Sean.
After brainstorming I’ve sold out of pawpaw trees and have made progress toward my dream.
Thanks for your time my friend.
Blessings from KY.
Sean is the best!
Do you have Cecropia trees?
@@MistressOP if you are talking to me, I do not.
@@BackyardBerry dang ty
@@MistressOP if you're looking to get one find someone that can get you an airlayer, I've sprouted a bunch of seeds only to have one survive that turned out male. No fruit.
The cherry-grape tree, hehe! What a wonderful space for a child to grow up in. 🤗💛🤗
You and your gardens are constant incentive and inspiration!
Thank you very much
Are YOU KIDDING ME! CONGRATS YOU GUYS!. Sasha's walking around with a mini Sean on her back...cutest family ever. ❤❤
She is a mini-Sasha, whose name is Zelda!
@trumpetingangel aww thank you trumpet! I'm out of the loop. Zelda is magnificent!
@@amyp8162 💕
I love how you've turned your fencing into extra growing areas.
Thanks!
I am away from my garden this summer. Your video gave me such a joy that feels happy. Thank you.
❤❤❤ cutest thumbnail ever! Look at that bright beautiful awareness
Good job supporting that little being ❤❤❤
I'd like an overhead view. Even a drawing. Always inspirational. ❤ to you all
Psychic! Just yesterday I thought, Ooh I wonder how Sasha and Sean’s kitchen garden is looking right now… And ta-da!
Thank you so much for the tour. Wonderful as always! You continue to teach me new cool things with every video, and your approach to management (and non-management) has been a huge influence on me and my own gardens.
Much love to you all!
Goumi cheers! 😊💚
Same here!
Thanks for such kind words and we love that you are part of our community!
Love your style of Permaculture/community..😊
Couldn't have said it better myself. The permaculture community is amazing and these guys are my OG fam❤
Sean really is the greatest presence on youtube in that regard isn't he? Well not only that regard, but you know what I mean. They all talk community, but Sean walks it rather than talks it. And his steps are large. ;)
The garden is looking fantastic🌼 and good to see Sasha & Zelda❣️
I love learning about the relationship between plants and trees. Also Zelda is so beautiful as is Sasha.
Sashas (and seans!!) energy is divine, literally
Great video Sean! Love the thumbnail too! I love the way you apply wu-wei (acting through non-action) to your garden. Between squirrels, songbirds and chickens you have a nice bit of your kitchen garden planted for you effortlessly. 😃
Loved watvching this video as it is firing me up for the New Zealand spring to come, so many great ideas, and I might just be ready with some for this coming spring here down under, thank you.
I know the fencing was probably a hassle, but it's added such charm and dimension to your food forest! I love it.
It's fine so long as it's doing some work too!
@@edibleacres You have the best of both worlds!
An amazingly abundant space - thanks so much for sharing!
You are so welcome!
Beautiful angel daughter! Thanks for the tour. It's a treat to walk and see the beauty and productivity. Never thought to mulch paths with sawdust. Something to keep in mind.
The garden is extremely productive 🌝👍
Hey thakns!
Wow I haven't watched your channel in years and I come back to see you guys have a baby now. Congratulations that is so exciting. Happy for you!
So nice to have you back with us!
What a fantastic garden you have created! Sasha and Zelda look amazing! That’s hard work carrying a baby around. Take care!
You no I can’t remember when last I saw you really working in the garden like sowing and transplanting veggies I have to stroll through the videos see if I miss anything and also the chickens love to see them working through the compost, hi Sasha great to see you and baby ❤❤
Tour was perfect…loved it.
Beautiful. And my mouth actually watered when you picked that goumi.
I'm still getting my new garden going. I'm almost done with the chicken coop and runs. My wife and I got twenty chickens we can't wait to have our own chicken tv.😄 We have five acres that we want to develop with trees and plants it just takes a long time. I really appreciate your videos and can't wait to by some plants from you in the spring.
Take heart! Watch his video about converting his neighbors lawn. And then watch the two year update about the chicken yard addition. It's mind blowing and enormously encouraging. This guy is, quite simply, "The Shiznit"!
So great! I hope it all unfolds in amazing ways!
The food forest is amazing 🤩 To an untrained eye it would prob look like a mess when it is actually its chaoticly (?) functional.
I love that 🤩
Have a great day 👵🏻👩🌾❣️
Beautiful family and beautiful garden!
Would love some of that perennial sorrel😊
One low/no bolt variety is Green de Belleville Sorrel. You can buy seeds. Just web search. Starting with some established plants from Sasha would give you an advantage.
We'll be offering it again maybe a little in the fall but definitely a bunch in spring!
Your back yard garden looks amazing
Love these tours Sean! Would Sasha be willing to do more cooking videos? That's my biggest hang-up...how to use all that abundance.
Mine is not the cooking but the harvesting to prep of the items ! :) but yes - if she is willing - I think many are eager to learn -but massive respect for not enjoying being on camera ! :)
Yeah, thank you for the nudge. She is moving towards it. We have video footage of a few projects and we just need to have her drop some knowledge! Been hard to get that piece of the puzzle to drop in :)
Love your channel
Zelda is adorable!
Beautiful!
I love all of it !!!
So enjoyed seeing your beautiful, garden truly inspirational ❤
So glad!
❤ your content!
new increment of measurement, one blue jay's butt ;)
😂😂❤❤
I always love and find interesting a walk through your garden.
I just love you guys and this little community. I love how our gardens are all unique. Yours is most similar to mine than anyone Ive seen here in southern ontario Canada. Love feeling connected!
nice. also in southern ontario. downtown Toronto but looking to move onto land
@@Walkabout amazing if you can make that work!! I do urban garden and also use a farm outside of the city. Blessings!
Such a fantastic video, Sean! Thank you so much. Something I always wonder about are the culinary concoctions you and the family make with all of these wonderful plants. More content that bridges the garden and culinary applications would be most welcome.
We appreciate the interest in that subject and are trying to figure out ways to film more of what Sasha does with her magic in the kitchen
I love your gardens. Have you tried drying basil and having it as a hot tea? It's delicious, especially when paired with apple mint.
There is apple mint everywhere on my friend's property after bringing some in from another friend's patch. It requires some level of suppression, it's too powerful for most other crops, might as well have that be harvesting. I dry the basil and mint tops on a paper bag by a window, works fine. Such a nice summer flavor to enjoy when it gets cold.
Sounds lovely!
Love your garden area!
simply amazing. thank you
We baby wear in the garden too!!!!
Thank you for the video update. Wondering if you could explain later on how to tell if a bush/tree is female or male. How early can you tell, which species follow the male/female distinction, etc.
I believe Zelda is about the same age as my youngest daughter who is now 9m. They grow so fast, enjoy every minute. you guys are doing a great job.
Zelda just turned 9 months old the other day... You are right! Little ones seem to grow so quickly, she's got a little tooth pushing in already :)
Excellent! 😊🌱💚🌻🐝
Thank you!
❤❤
I've worked a similar cattle panel tunnel for the past seven years, growing a variety of hardy greens (self-sown mache, claytonia, parsley; lettuces and mustards pop up in February) through the New England winters and string-trellised tomatoes through the summers. It's set up with a thermometer we can read from the house; the range over 24 hours can be incredibly wide. The winter temps run above ambient on a breezy night, yet below ambient on a calm night, and then shoot upwards toward comfortable during the day. In the summer (vented and with light shade cloth) daytime temps regularly hit 108-110 F before cooling off at night. While we definitely make it work (credit the resiliency of plants!), I must admit I did not expect this thermal roller coaster. I string-trellised identical tomatoes outside the tunnel this summer to compare...the difference is substantial. Anyone have comments, observations to share?
@@formidableflora5951, I would guess your tomatoes inside the tunnel did better? Mine seem to love the tunnel- I have a tomato jungle! Which of course, harkens toward the plants beginnings. Any I put outside here is zone 6 with heavy clay seem to immediately revolt.
@@yLeprechaun No, the tomato plants in the tunnel are much smaller, less filled out. I'm (perhaps incorrectly) assuming that soil and moisture are not limiting factors to tomato growth in the tunnel; I'm thinking perhaps it's the wild temperature swing. Curious as to what other folks have observed. The winter greens grow very well.
I remove the plastic from the tunnel in the spring and put it back in the fall when I start to plant spinach, Claytonia, etc
Thanks for the notes and questions. I think deep mulch in the summer months can help cool soil and regulate temps for moisture and such in the soil. That can help immensely!
@@edibleacres I'll add another layer of mulch, as it isn't especially deep. Thank you. The current system certainly functions, but I think there's room for improvement. I should clarify that we monitor the air temp at approximately 6-8" above the soil surface, not the soil temp itself. Should be interesting to watch the numbers...and the tomatoes!
Did you try planting the Swedish giant pea? 😊
Loved the tour, especially highlighting so much growing in a small area! I'm curious about your management of your American Persimmons. I have a small backyard and am growing some, and you've inspired me to plant very dense so they may become too big one day. I'd like to keep them shorter if I can, possibly with pollarding or pruning them in a certain way. Do you have any experience you could share?
I haven't tried cutting them low. I tend to cut lower branches so they can go higher and be out of my way!
The baby "prettiest flower in the garden". Protein essential for development.
I am interested in that tiny pond and the plants in it .
Also, would goumi be a good plant for pollarding/ growing annual vines on/ green manure?
❤
Thanks for the informative video. I was curious how thick the sawdust needs to be to help with weed suppression? Also, did you put any weed barrier down before the sawdust? Thanks in advance for your time in answering.
I'll share more notes in another video, but the basic idea is the sawdust, when deposited 6 inches deep, at least, seems to suppress more or less all weeds for at least an entire growing season
@@edibleacres Wonderful. Thanks and I look forward to that video. I wonder if the same can be done with wood shavings/pellets; like the kind you would put down for chickens or animal bedding? Perhaps you may cover that in your video 🙂
I have not heard of siberean peach before. I live in high desert of Utah. My siberean peashrub and nanking cherries do great here. Do you think the siberean peach would do well here. Peach trees have been a challenge in my high valley. I will look for them in your videos but would love to know more about them.
That sounds like a reasonable context for them
3:20 I like George! :)
5:37 always nice to include some fowl anatomy science. 😂
20:08 You are tougher and more forgiving than I am. I have only 1 rule that demands immediate death rather than promoting more life to alter u wanted plant and creature populace and it refers to stinging nettles. Not on my property, not anywhere. I had a very unpleasant childhood experience. At age 52 I still have not forgiven them. 😂😂
20:18 :( what? No more? I love seeing your spaces. I am still overwhelmingly jealous of your garde s and chicken yard. I guess I'll just have to hit replay and watch again. :)
20:36 yes. Can you do a deeper discussion on plant spacing? I think that is an area I still struggle. It's somehow still difficult for me to completely step outside the box of rowcrop style monoculture that I grew up around. I am trying to just broadcast my seed all together now, but that is not really working either. Maybe a companion planting/guild discussion with spacing consideration. If you have time.
Thanks Sean. You're the best human I know that I've never met. :)
5 minutes after, having enjoyed the comments, it occurs to me, yet again, that this is the greatest space on youtube.
So much kind wordness here, thank you!
I will try to incorporate some ideas on plant spacing in the future but I'll be honest I know I just always plant too close and thats that!
Talk about abundance! I'm wondering if the pollarded poplar branches could be used as tree fodder for the chickens? I mean I know your girls get enough food scraps, but in situations where people can't pasture and don't have access to a meaningful amount of food waste, would something like this be an option? (it's been over 20 years since we had chickens and bears are keeping us from getting more, but I still hold out hope that one day...)
I don't know how much the poplar branches would provide food for them. That said, it's definitely worth a try if they need to be cut!
How is the Sun coverage on that area with the cattle panel green house? It looks a little shady in the video
i love the meandering walkway but how do you keep it watered without a hose barreling it all down? also, do nankings and sweet cherries grow true to seed?
We don't water much and when we do its with hand watering cans...
@@edibleacres ah I live in the desert and although I do have a food forest with lots of cover crop and little excess watering, my annuals are the problem children. I’ll experiment with super dense and mixed plantings
Do you find you prune back the grape in the cherry tree this time of year? Or do you wait for the dormant season?
I'm not that great at making time for that management, I find what I do on the very vigorous great growth is often head back the vines in certain spots to where there's a good fruit set and that seems to work OK although I'm sure I'm missing a better management strategy with that
Beautiful family.
I like the idea of having some really small ponds but do you line them with clay or anything to prevent them from drying up?
No but I think we'd do well to do so.
Hi Sean, are your goumis ripe right now? The varities I got here in Germany are ripening in Oktober. Also they seem to be much bigger than mine. Do you have the exact botanical name of your goumis? Thanks!
Does the sawdust work in the bed instead of mulch, or is it too heavy?
I don't like a lot of sawdust in the actual bed, it seems to take away energy from the plants if put on too deep... Pathways, skys the limit :)
Which 3 berry bushes, do you think the greatest weight in berries?
Thats a hard one. Goumi was pretty impressive this year. Autumn Olive can be insane in a good year and black currants are often nicely loaded!
@@edibleacres thank you so much for your choices
Do you have 95F heat as we do in Virginia?
Not that hot but certainly up there... 90 to 92
