This man is unapologetically dad-core and I love it.
That description made me subscribe before even seeing his video....and it was a wise choice. Polo, cargo pants, and dad jokes. Throw in a fisherman’s hat and a pair of bright white NB shoes and this guy would be peak dad.
Hehehe
i guess Im asking randomly but does someone know a tool to log back into an Instagram account..?
I was stupid lost the account password. I would appreciate any tips you can give me
@Zeke Malachi Instablaster :)

Arugula (spicy)
Oregano
Day lilies
Thyme
Asparagus
Mint, any mint
Perennial shallot
Egyptian onion
Chives
Sorrel (lemony zest)
Garlic chives just cut and it regrows
I absolutely love Lemon Thyme. Smells delightful, great with meat dishes!
Fantastic!
Just amazing.
Not that you learn more about permaculture, but you make smile the whole video through.
When a man loves plants so much that he wants to rolls in it, this loves becomes contagious.
1:52 Messed with my head. The narration "In the jungle..." and then seeing the black dog walk by, my mind perceived it as a panther lol
Peppermint and other mint plants are a wonderful mosquito repellent
I love the purple flowers on the chives, it's my favorite, I add them to a clear broth chicken soup, potato salad and bake into the top of a loaf of cheddar and chives bread. They're so beautiful! I like to see people's reactions to purple flowers in their food :)
We have wild onions growing everywhere on our little property. The bulbs are tiny like shallots. But they are great to use the tops as green onions.
Arugula, daylily, thyme - good for dogs.
Oregano - good for dogs in small amounts when raw.
Asparagus - ok for them but tough for them to physically chew and can be rough on their digestion.
Mint - everything except pennyroyal mint is good for dogs
Perennial shallot, chives, sorrel, garlic chives - bad for dogs (anything in the onion/allium family)
This is a great video! I did an intranet search to see if they're good for dogs. Obviously, dogs should only be allowed to ingest plant matter in modern.
Intranet is only a local network at your own house or business 😉 Internet.
🤣... in the jungle, orEggEn0, if i could save thyme in a bottle🎶... i love rolling on the earth!!! MARVELOUS HeMen!!😃💜🍀🌼

I always thought of these as herbs and not perennial vegetables. Very interesting video, I learn a lot from you.
That's because they are herbs - the title is clickbait!
I am in the same zone and I love to grow mustard. It reseeds itself every year. Attracts pollinators and repels certain pests. Tastes like "wasabi" paste(because most commercial wasabi is made of mustard and-or horseradish).
I need this man to be my whole friend group
I just realized I have 8 out of these in my small food forest. I would also add Skirret and Crosnes, wild/feral strawberries and sage and stinging nettles. Cheers and keep up the good work, your food forest has been an inspiration for my much smaller version here in Germany.
Never heard of skirret or crosnes. Where do you find them?
@@Skashoon skirret is native to Europe and is in cultivation at least since Roman times. Crosnes originates in China I think. You can get both plants at specialist nurseries, I guess.
Hi! Tolle Gemüsesorten! Hast Du auch Weinbergslauch in Deinem Futterwald? Auf den würde ich nicht verzichten (wenn ich wieder einen Garten hätte).
@@KaoXoni Der wächst hier zum Glück wild an unserem Hang. In unserer Gegend gab es mal Weinbau bis nach dem 2. Weltkrieg. Jetzt stehen hier wieder ein paar Weinreben, aber nur pilzresistente. Der Weinberglauch hat sich gehalten.
The most accessible form encouraging spice plants I have ever seen. Everything in your field is a little dry, a little tangled, overgrown, non-ideal, just real. A wonderful story, crawling in the bushes, it fits nicely with the image and content. And everything seems to be delicious, easy, and lazy version. Thank you for the inspiration. I wish I had come across this channel before.
ps. sorry for my bad English
I read your comment just fine. No worries. You did a really good job.
I'm surprised for a Slav (Polish? Ukrainian?) you didn't mention either horseradish or nettle! Horseradish roots and leaves are great for pickling cucumbers, while nettle is essential for great green borscht!
I wish I could give you more than one thumbs up! We just retired, bought our first house!, with a tiny yard (.25 acre) and I'm so looking forward to spring planting. Supposedly, we're zone 8b; however, twice now we've gone below zero so I'm worried about what we put out in the fall. My husband even mulched.
Before planting look what has been the record low in 50 years, them plant what will withstand that temp. All other plants are play plants.
🤣 Ahahaha the peeking of of the plants that was great! I'm loving these videos. Very informative and is teaching me to go with nature instead of fighting it while gardening. Thank you!
Mission accomplished. Thanks
Thank you. Yes to plants that grow like weeds!!!!! Plenty to eat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hooray!! A gardening channel from Canada :) I am zone 4 and already grow a few of those. Count me as a new subscriber!
I would one more to your list: Horse radish.
Thanks for the article.
Horseradish rocks!
Even if you don't harvest the root the greens are awesome!
I would add horseradish and nettle to my list for sure. Horseradish we make into an awesome condiment, with vinegar, salt and peper or with beets. Nettle we add to quiche or soup, just like spinach. Delicious!
I love horseradish leaves too for salads and such.
Nettle tea is good too. A lot of nutrients.
Willing to share what you do with the horseradish and beets? I’m looking for ways to utilize beets more
I just love your video. Your presentation is delightfully informative and a cute sense of humor.
Great list. I'm in a similar zone to you (I'm in BC), and some of my favorites that you didn't list are Good King Henry, which is a great green, slightly sour but mostly mild. And Sea Kale, which is our number one favorite. My favorite green is dandelion though; when I serve it to company I call it chicory and everyone thinks its something fancy, lol. I love that sorrel too, it's so nice that it doesn't get all weedy, though I love the look of Bloody Dock.
Yes I used to have great sea kale it would be my 2nd fave. Have good king Henry but haven’t used it. Dandelion is all about timing. Someone told me to pick it early morning it’s less bitter
This is one of my favorite channels! You are such a great teacher and I just love your personality! What is the source of your exuberant joy? Thank you for sharing your knowledge and love for nature.
Your welcome. My source is the Holy Spirit. I’m nothing without Him.
@@StefanSobkowiak The only lasting source of exuberant joy, indeed! :)
Best answer. Hard to farm/garden without seeing the Creator's hand everywhere.
I bet you would just LOVE vineyard chives for its garlicky taste, enormous heigth (it grows wa faster and higher than the grass in the early spring, so you can even easily single it out in a lush meadow) and its hilariously shaped flowers and the deliciously intense tiny seed bulbs it produces.
I just learned that ggogle does not know "vineyard chives". I was describing Allium vineale, commonly called onion grass or stag's garlic. And that it is considered an invasive weed in the US and Oceania. Well... It is delicious, robust, abundant, healthy - actually all you want in a low maintenance food crop.
Awesome list! Didn't know arugula was perennial and that day lilies are edible, thanks for sharing.
The voles ate my daylillies... and everything else.
Same here!
Regular arugula is not perennial.
@@chrismako6734 wild arugola is perennial.
Love garlic chives! Snip the flowers onto sliced tomatoes w/a little feta cheese--heaven!!
The leafes are wonderful too. Take one from each plant, as needed.
Love how he laid down on the ground the entire video
I enjoyed your garden very much. I had all these perennials and plan to have them again in my new Garden. Thanks for a great reminder of what is important and that is to have fun in the garden and fun with food.
love your channel, great humor and wonderful information & advice. Will have to try sorrel and garlic chives for sure! thanks for sharing your favorites...
Gina D Thanks we love that you’re enjoying our Chanel/content (can’t wait to share some more)
What a character! Love your presentation. Learning a lot. Excellent channel!
I also planted garlic chives from Richters. Here's the thing, be careful what you ask for. I planted this in my garden and it took over everything. it took me five years to get this stuff out of my garden. Do not, I repeat, do not plant garlic chives near any type of garden. If you can put it near a hedge row or fence or hundreds of feet from your garden, etc., then fine, it does have a nice strong flavor. You were warned !!
garlic chives are very common in Korean cuisine. fantastic!
Great video.
It’s important to repeat that he loves for these plants to take over. Garlic chives are a great example of a plant that will seed itself and take off like crazy(at least, in my experience).
If you would like to keep garlic chives contained or control where the seeds land, be sure to clip the seed heads before they self seed.
I would use them as lawn cover, they are a lush green, but mowing them is quite an odorous experience, one all the neighbors get to partake in, too.😁
I would never have thought daylilies were fit to eat. My jaw dropped!
downbntout he literally got me to try some last week and I must say they’re quite good (they taste a bit like iceberg lettuce with a unique aftertaste)
I find them decorative for salads and the batter dipped fried is interesting but they are so delicate that the fried breading I'm just eating more fried food.
How can you NOT like a video of a guy lying in his plants while praising them and nibbling them!? Cute :)
I agree! Great information too.
Bonnie Taylor my fathers extremely passionate I guess you could say haha
@@ZaneMedia like for the intro filming\edition, well done!
Loved him peeking through the daylillys...the dog in the background is like what is he doing now.
Fantastic video! Thanks for the giggles.
He-man bit actually made me chuckle. Great video.
Your channel is great. What a funny sense of humor and good info, too. Thanks.
SuzyQ thanks we’re always happy to hear positive feedback :)
Asparagus is a perennial it's one of my #1 favorites. It's also in the grass family aka sparrow grass, not a shrub.
By far my favorite gardening video. thanks for the passion
Helps to get down at plant levels.
Great idea for permaculture.
This video is a national treasure
Love it.
Fantastic! Thank you so much ❤️
So glad I found your channel!😊
Garlic chive, got to have! Merci :)
another great video Stefan, thanks for sharing that.
LOL loved your presentation... great INFO ! thank you sir
What's great about this episode is most of the items you featured in your top 10 are either hard to get in the grocery store or they are expensive. I am a big fan of oregano and basil.
😎 Basil is very easy to grow from cuttings, like rooting the fresh basil you bought at the grocery store. Good quality very moist, well draining soil, semi shade until the cuttings develop roots and start growing.
Most leafy vegetables do alright in partial shade.
Great videos Stefan! I love what you are doing. Oh and thank you for the new perspective on mint patches. Then I better get use to counting myself lucky ;-)
Love this delightful way to help us with our permaculture orchard. We made the mistake early on rototilling wormwood- ugh! It is a bear to get out. (Also horseradish in the garden taking over)

@Christopher Sabionski he's not. It's a useful recap and not a substitute for hearing the comments and tips
Thank you. I took a screen shot of your list after watching the video to save for later. 👍
@Christopher Sabionski They are in the video description..
This was one of my favs!
I bought the Profusion sorrel from Richters over 20 years ago. This plant is still growing profusely in my garden and has never shown signs of dying. I have even given plant sections away to people. Don't even bother with other sorrel, this one is perrenial with a capital P (and I am in zone 6B).
So true and are they ever delicious.
Love watching you!!! You are so funny.
All of these sound great! Love the little cartoon bits.
This video was great. Top ten shrubs next? This helps a lot for me deciding what perennials to grow
Great idea and great topic. I guess we could extend that to the top 10 tree cultivars we use...
@@StefanSobkowiak please!
Check out this Friday's upcoming video 'Top 5 Shrubs'.
@@StefanSobkowiak Maybe you should start with actual vegetables instead of herbs?.....
I love these videos and Stefans sense of humor is awsome.
Hello, My name is irene, I just subscribed !!! You are funny ! I saw your blooper !!! Loved it . I will be watching your other videos . I'm a brand new person to you tube, just started my channel.. I will be learning from you about permaculture !!!! Thank you !
The shallot greens you can cut tgem finely and beat some eggs then mix them together with salt and black pepper. Then make small pancakes out of them. Great for breakfast
James shallot greens to make pancakes I have to try.. I'm working on developing a tiny home community with gardens and a business building for skills sharing or teach a class or sell items and barter if you wish.
I want to add Loveage. It's just like celery but perennial. My Norwegian friend introduced it to me.
This video helped a great deal knowing what is good to use when planting out fruit trees or even just for good perennials to have around the yard. Plus, they are grown from seed (except perhaps the daylily, but we have some of those I can divide)
These videos are fantastic. Thanks Stefan!
Chris Holcombe thanks always awesome to hear the positive feedback!
Great tips! I love sorrel soup with hard boiled eggs
No wonder the deer eat our Day Lillies in Pennsylvania. I love Gill Over the Ground, a remarkable mint for keeping my soil moist.
I enjoy watching your posts . Just a lot.. 👍👍👍
We call those Egyptian onions: walking Egyptian onions. As the seed head gets heavy it will cause the stalk to fall over & then the bulb starts a new onion in another spot. They are so cool. I got mine a couple of years ago.
Thank you very, very much. Super helpful :) I totally agree with encouraging edible plants that grow like “weeds.” I am so happy to hear you endorsing that. They are usually extremely nutrient dense as well. I appreciate how practical and helpful your videos are. Blessings. :)
dancingcedar awesome we’re glad you enjoy them!
I have just recently come across (found) your channel. A great presentation style and whoever does the editing..... a great sense of humour too. G'day from Sydney Australia.
It seems he may have a son doing editing
Glad to have you onboard Chris. G'day.
Exactly, Zack does many of the edits (the best ones!).
Great videos. Super informative. Love the editing LOL
Love your channel! New subber!
Man you are excellent! Keep going
Thanks I was starting to look into the perennial plants for my back yard
Glad I could help
I have had garlic chaiv for many years. I eat them every day From the early spring to the end of season. Every year I send some to my friends or nearby neighbors, they are happy and I am happy, too. YES,, it's a Must to have it.
yay, a new video from Stefan!
57&justgointowaist yes we’ll be trying to release one new one each week if you’d like to be notified just click on the little bell :)
I have a rescue boxer who is weirdly obsessed with mint in the pots (doggy safe varieties) I am thinking I should plant her a patch her rolling in it should keep it in check plus the pup smells minty fresh!
Super cute!!
SUN CHOKES... GOT TO ADD THEM...
Yes we have lots of them just not in the tree rows.
Drat! I forgot to plant mine.
Just found you, we are new Subs! Love your videos!
Robbie and Gary and we love you guys! Glad you enjoy the content so far more to come :)
@@ZaneMedia yes...really neat!
Excellent video - Thanks!
Glad you liked it!
I have tons of daylilies, Oh boy, I can't wait for the flowers, to eat them... I'm in zone 5. You have the same taste as I do , I have all those plants except garlic chive, I'll go buy some tomorrow
Canada Sirius the garlic chives are amazing
@@ZaneMedia I've bought some today, it's now in the garden with rich soil and chicken manure ... 🌱 I'm starting celery from seeds, these guys are slow to grow, gezzzz.
@@rejm1161 I have wondered about celery. I haven't heard if anyone who grows it.
@@kathleennorton6108 They grow well but so slowly, It might snow when they'll be ready :-0 They have to be started inside early in the spring. I use some normal cooking celery seeds, only 2 out of 100+ have started.
@@rejm1161 Magnus I just looked up how to grow celery and came upon a youtube video called "Celery Re-Grow Store Bought". It is really easy and fun. I would recommend you watch it.
Good video. Thank you.
Kale is worth an honourable mention.
You are good man.thanks!
Sorrel is very good to make soup with boil egg added after finishing cooking.We in Poland cook it is often.When you have extra,you can cannedcfor winter.Very delicious soup with heavy cream
Haha! That´s a very good Video!
Greetings from Germany :D
Yes love garlic chives to, and onion chives as I’m not able to eat onion so get the flavour without the illness.
Well presented. Liked and shared. Thanks for posting.
Thanks for sharing William.
Wow, so happy I found video, loved it and immediately SUBSCRIBED!! I have most of these plants in containers, can't wait till tomorrow, I'm off on weekend and going to my chalet and will be digging them out of the container and plant them on my vegetable garden
Wonderful, welcome aboard, lots to binge watch after gardening.
Great content and videos. 🌷
Love your channel ❤Like your video guy’s touch (your son has your humour). Time smells so good and want to visit your farm🎉
Thanks so much!
Great video ! I also agree...Top 10 shrubs and/or tree cultivars might be a useful followup video...still being in the perennial family...never knew that about daylilly's...though not my favorite plan grouping, though I know there are many daylilly addicts & clubs...
You’re right they would be great follow up videos. Problem is we don’t even have 10 fruit tree species we could grow ( Apple, pear, Asian pear, cherry, plum, mulberry, seaberry, hazelnuts ) and less than 10 fruiting shrubs (black currant, red currant, gooseberry, haskap, Nanking cherry )
Living down in zone 9 I can grow a lot of perennials. I have elephant garlic I planted fifteen years ago and it's still going strong. With my greenhouse I find peppers tend to grow for a year or more before needing to be cut back. Berries are also a good crop. I grow blackberries, raspberries, blueberries. My favorite for now and I couldn't say if they're perennials or not but I grow new zealand spinach in the greenhouse and I haven't had to do anything but harvest them for years now. All the spinach we can eat summer or winter. Collard greens can also grow for several years with proper trimming. Bunching onions will multiply into clumps of a hundred or more if you can find the right variety.
Lucky you. Yes many annual’ crops are perennial in tropical climes. Try climbing beans many should live for years and some like scarlet runner supposedly produce edible tubers when grown in a greenhouse or tropical clime. Grow on.
The way you let them grow their own own way.... that's so obvious but very natural....
My thoughts exactly re mint.. 🤗
Nice ideas.
Haha.... nice video .. watching from Philippines.
Entertaining and informative
New sub. Great vid! Thx!!
Thanks welcome aboard, enjoy the journey.
