5-Year-Old Food Forest & Homestead Tour | Spring Update
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 сен 2024
- Curious to know how our own farm is coming along after the winter has passed? If you are new to our channel, this is our home base, Sandhill Farm in Spring Hill, Florida. The farm's main purpose is to serve as a model & species bank for others in our own community or who also live in a similar climate to our own zone 9a (just north of Tampa). We grow tropical & temperature fruits, spices, herbs & perennial vegetables that come to us from similar climates from all over the world!
The component to our success with these sub/tropical species is the oak canopy that we use as a living greenhouse. The old oaks allow us to push the subtropical edge, growing sub/tropical species & collecting as much diversity as we can find. Our primary focus is building soil, encouraging maximum biodiversity above the ground & below. The only irrigation used on the farm is for our nursery. Heavy mulching, constant cover crops, dynamic accumulators, nitrogen fixers & other beneficial species = a booming perennial agriculture system!

Beautiful, we all should strife to be more self sufficient, our homesteads should be totally feeding us.
Whippoorwill Holler agreed! 🙌
That would help eliminate the need for so much farm land.
You all probably dont give a shit but does someone know of a trick to log back into an instagram account??
I was stupid lost the password. I would love any assistance you can give me.
@Aydin Hudson instablaster :)
Couldn't agree more.
Looks great Pete, so much better than last winter, lots of chill but no freezes. Our lowest temp this year here in Lakeland was 35 back in November. My Jackfruit has put out three male flowers, still watching for a female. Green Sapote is flowering along with mangoes, avocados, lychee, sapodilla. Been eating starfruit since October. Looks like a good year if we can have a bit less rain than last year. Our water table is still very high here for this time of year. Lots of rain this winter. Thanks for the video update.
CorJen Farm thank you! Sounds like your place is rocking out! My green sapote actually came back after last winter but it looks like root stock. We just had 35 degrees again last week, hoping that’s the last hard cold snap. I just picked up a butterscotch sapodilla, it’s going in the greenhouse.
@@PeteKanarisGreenDreamsFL I don't think there are many cultivars out on green sapote, I'm not even sure of variety name for mine, so other than a long wait your seedling may be as good as anything out there. If you want a cutting to graft onto it feel free to stop by and get a few if you don't know of any other trees in the area.
I'm in the Caribbean and our nights have been very cool here. Sometimes in the 60's( here that's cold) and the citrus loved it. My oranges went crazy this year. Tree limbs loaded. And everything has a lot of flowers our fruits coming up. When it's very cold up north it gets cooler in the Caribbean at night. Now all we need is more rain and we'd be happy.
Farisa Smith that’s awesome! I wish we didn’t have such a disease problem with citrus, it was a childhood favorite for me. Cool nights are also really good for growing tomatoes:)
@@PeteKanarisGreenDreamsFL Yup , got some good ones coming in now. Pink Brandywine, morgage lifters and some mixed cherry tomatoes. I'm pounding dirt!
I live in upstate New York 2 miles from the Canadian border. Still have a foot of snow. Seeing this makes me want to sell my house and 20 acres with it and move south. Yea you can say I'm jelly.
Come on down
wow never knew florida could give you so much! you wasted a moro,never had a moro for over 25 years now,love them...nispero in usa? what !...so wonderful to see all these delicious fruits.your farm is a heaven!
Dang...hats off my man....food forest game on point.....Strong
Louisiana Gardening Family 🙌
I love see you all day around snacking from your garden. wala. Great plantations and food forestry. Cheers
Cheers!
There are a lot of people up north still under snow, and probably drooling. I'm a bit north of you, but didn't lose plants that normally freeze back. Your place is certainly rockin.
Allan Turpin glad to hear! I have friends in Floral City that had temps in the 20’s a few nights. We lucked out this year.
I'm definitely drooling I'm in upstate new York....envious.
@@malissa29soulmoxiefoods- truth is, I'm drooling too, just not about the weather. I'm still years from having even a corner of my property look as good as Pete's.
@@allanturpin2023 same..
I’m in Canada I wasn’t even registering that this was a recent video lmao
Amazingly beautiful!
Pete you are so damn inspiring man. I own my own landscape/permaculture/irrigation biz in the Phoenix area. I’ve been trying to work my ass off to get my own land to grow out. I’m growing out my rental home in the meantime. Thank god I’m able to plant food forests for other people. Our food forest business has been booming. Thank you bro. You are a trailblazer. Thanks for the roadmap. Shocka brah 🤜🏼🤛🏼💥
Thanks Clint! I appreciate the support man. We need more of us, keep it up man 👊
You talk about being depressed after losing trees, and plants. We are cleaning up after flooding here. I can relate. The amount of work seem insurmountable.
Issac Newton wow yeah I’ve been through floods too. That’s rough man. Good luck!
Wow nice property! I wish that tour is longer but what I love the most is when you slow down a bit in this video and focused on the starfruit and each plant inside the greenhouse.
Christine Villacruz thank you! Ok more longer videos with lots of B-roll :)
Im glad the garden grew back so well and u r happy again
HF TL thank man! I’m definitely excited to share this update with y’all
It was very good to see your food forest has recovered. My heart was broken for you last year. Was that only a year ago? wow.
Thanks Nancy! Yes, time sure does fly. It was looking ok by mid summer of 2018, we just took a bad hit last winter. I’m just so happy we didn’t froze out again this year.
I thoroughly enjoy the longer videos, but any video from you is great! Sandhill Farm is looking stunning!
Brad Suarez thanks man! I appreciate the support👊
Aka, melody and papabear ....... my fav vids have always been the farm tours... watching your videos has change my back yard. this year ive added aquaponics as well
Arthur Brown The UNCANNY KODIAK that’s awesome, thanks for sharing! More local videos coming soon :)
Thanks Pete! Your place is gorgeous! 🇨🇦
Thanks 🙏
Thanks for showing me around your farm. It was very interesting seeing all the fruits and vegetables and other foods you grow. Best.
This is sooooooooo beautiful, and yummmmy too.
Thank you!
Pete this is one of the best “garden” channels on RUclips, especially for a warm climate grower. I was born in Poland, grew up gardening with my dad in Nj, and now trying to figure out the garden game in Fort Lauderdale. Appreciate the knowledge you drop in your videos. Would love to see your food forest someday.
Wow, thank you for the kind words!
Wow, those fruit trees still grow real well even if they’re under big trees. Its good to know thanks for showing us its beautiful 😍
kelly51757 glad it helped! Some things actually seem to prefer it.
The longer, the better, Pete! Your videos are like mini-vacations. I´d love to see one of your installed food forest´s progression after a few years.
just beautiful, a piece of ediable heaven...much love and god,s peace be with you
rafiqa 1 🙌
I have seen some other Florida food forest videos and what sets yours apart is that it is tidy, beautiful and ascetically pleasing. It looks like a garden of eden, not just a mish-mash of edible trees plated together with a bunch of weeds in between. I am starting mine on my 3 acres in Marion County. Your place is my inspiration.
Thanks David! I appreciate the feedback. My standard landscaping back around helps to keep things looking orderly here. Messy permaculture won’t inspire otters to get involved.
After that super light winter things should be great.
Very nice Pete! I'm feeling a bit green with envy. Things sure look better than last year. This vlog reminds me of the tour you gave Justin and his kids. Very nice update.
Teri Jean thank you! I’m definitely much happier this winter:)
Hi Pete!! It was so nice meeting you and your lovely wife at the farm in Bushnell FL, love your garden!
Hey Peg! Nice meeting you also :)
Pete, I like all you videos....I also liked your earlier videos when you talked about a single plant, how to grow it and what it is used for. It was really good information and I hope that you will through a few of those type of videos in once in a while. Thanks and your property is looking great!
rctd06 thank you! Yes, my next two videos are shorter single plant focused.
Nebraska got sandhills and I'm happy it's got a cousin in Florida Keep it up I'm working towards making a life doing installs as well! God bless thanks Pete
relevent Hurt` sweet bro! I hope you crush it 👊
Well done! Great job!
Рома Скрыто thank you!
Curious about the carambola pruning method...always fun to walk through your farm, it truly was the inspiration for my forest, as I walk through Echo farm I read each label and remember, Pete grew that one...and now I'm eating the fruits of my labor...thanks man...!
That’s amazing Pete, beautiful Spring update, jabuticaba is my favorite too they are too unique & awesome.
Organic Grow thank you! 🙌
It's really beautiful, congratulations.
Saludos desde Mallorca España
My man Pete !!!
How freakin awesome, it blesses me everytime I see just how much the Lord has blessed you and your family !!! I am all smiles !!! Going to see David the Good up in Gainesville next week for a Forest Garden workshop, then hope to line up a tour at the Sandhill Farm. The place looks great and the videos are awesome but I want to smell it, touch it, taste it, and drink it all in, in person, LOL !!!
Ya know, knowledge is the only thing that you can give away in life, and never lose it, thank you for sharing your knowledge with the world.
Luv ya brother, pray for you and your family always, enjoy your videos, and learn a little something from you constantly. Life is Good !!! Be blessed and enjoy your day and always # dirt dude !!!
😎😎😎😎😎😎😎
Gerald Franz much love my friend! 🙏
Absolutely beautiful. You have some big ole loquats.
Thank you 🙏
I grew up eating Pakistani Mulberries in Pakistan:) Now I have one in my backyard in norCal:)
Qasim now that’s awesome!!!
Cool story!
It has been a stellar winter/spring for us down here. The farm looks awesome guys.
Our Florida Garden thank you! Definitely loving the mild winter 🥶
First time I seen a mulberry, never see them in shops here in England, all I've heard of is the rhyme round and round the mulberry bush
Snap. Also in England. Was good to see what Mulberry look like. Now I need to taste them :-)
Love it Pete...and so do 225 other people ;)
Hey Jeff! Thanks buddy 👊
Wow your mulberry memory is spot on with mine, down in australia we had one on a public reserve no one really went to about 2 minutes away, it was our hidden gem... otherwise truly a SPECTACULAR sight. Really is a wonderful garden and property...
i want my own farm ...never too late to have one in the future.
Blank Garcia that’s right! Best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago, second best time is now.
What's up my man? First time checkin you out, and I really like what I see. Looks like you made your crib your 9-5. In light of the world problem we are having; this is the best thing going. I will looking at more videos like this. dude stay with it. Peace!!!!
Thanks man! Growing food will be the future
Thank you Pete, it looks amazing like a beautiful parc. Your long videos with lots of content are just great.
Best regards and greetings from France,
Sabina
Love the garden. Wish we could grow some of those plants here in New Zealand.
Beautiful fruits forest ❤️👍
🙏
Awesomeness 🤗🤗🌱🌱🌻🌻🌼🌼🌷🌷
Candi Wallace 🙌
On the 4:24 that tree when it flowers we take the flowers and dry them and make a tea for the cold..Its a medicine in my country..
Princess Aurora nice! We also use the elderberry as medicine. It’s a game changer if you feel a cold coming on.
Yeah i prefer the longer video's i really appreciate all the info,views an updates bro. Keep on growing on 👊
stunning! Thank you for sharing this beautiful food forest!
Amy Svob thank you! Glad you enjoyed
The property looks awesome! You are so so so darn industrious! Wonderful!
Living the dream!
This year I would love to visit your property and learn 👍🏻
I'm glad you're keeping short videos in the mix, they are good to build long term channel watching and knowledge retention. Little bits of really high quality information make more of a difference! I like the long videos too, but the short ones are highly feasible!
i enjoy long vids , but i also understand your life is hands on, not hands on a laptop, time is, well short , and by your beautiful , amazing property , you already have plenty to do and never enough time, ive been looking around your area , i want to move back to florida and be sustainable and simple
Great vId, Pete, very motivating!!
ty
Amazing!!!
Nice to see all the beautiful life in your place. I love the Pakistani Mulberry. Mine is epic because I cut it back. Has a ton of fruit. I am however concerned I might not get any mangoes. As the blooms got hit with frost. Sometimes it blooms two times.
Living Miracle Homestead thank you! That’s a bummer with the mango, wishing you a second flower set! I saw some farms are expecting 2-3 flower sets this year, that’s exciting!
its amazing the birds dont go for the fruit I guess there isjust so much there they feel content to leave them
HF TL in the past the birds have been a problem with the peaches. Every once in a while I’ll see a little damage on a Loquat, they must not love them like we do.
You are the best. Thanks
Thanks Ken! 👊
Love all your video,the ones in the states and in Costarica;great information,hope to vicit your farm one day
Thank you!
Awesome!
Your farm is amazing! Do you live of selling edible plants and setting up edible gardens? How did you start? It'd be great to hear your story as inspiration for those of us who dream of developing a similar business. Thank you for all your work.
Excellent questions, I’d like to hear the backstory too.
Veganic ♾ I can make a video about my transition. But yes I currently make a living installing edible landscapes. I’ve been playing in the dirt my whole life, just not always with edibles.
@@PeteKanarisGreenDreamsFL Yes! We would love to hear your backstory. :)
@@PeteKanarisGreenDreamsFL I look forward to the video. Oh and if you could include tips on how to slowly start developing a similar business, it'd be super helpful : )
I have a quarter acre in Hialeah. I’m trying to make the yard into a food forest. City officials not too happy with me even though I’m not doing anything illegal. Thank you for posting all these videos. Learning so much 💜
Awesome! Keep up the good work 🙌
Nice
Thanks Pete!
JB Bopp 👊
You and Matt really inspired me with all the content you guys have shared. Keep it up Sir
Great video! Keep them coming!
Thanks!
Hi Pete it was wonderful to explore Eden with you. Loved your nostalgic memories of mulberries which coinciding was similar to my childhood as I was lucky enough to grow near a silk farm at the foothills of the Himalayas and as your know the leaves of mulberry are fed to the worms. Just wanted to bring to your attention if you have planted the clear/white variety which is similar in size to the Pakistan variety but is much sweeter. If not you shall be missing out.
Looks great. I'm still working towards that tipping point in biodiversity.
Sounds amazing
Fun to see the sub tropical climate!
my respect!!!!!!!!
My tithonia d. were also largely unaffected this winter in Mims. It finally lost its last flowers a few weeks ago. I've got several dozen 3 gal starts going well, will sell in a few months.
Actually, now that I look, most flowers are still there.
C.J. Rogers nice! We just hard pruned ours again.
You must have Loquats coming up everywhere. I got one large tree that’s in heavy flower right now but I find seedlings everywhere. Gilchrist County, Fl
I won’t to eat a lot of those loquat fruit so yummy
the world needs more people like you guys. great job. this is beyond awesome =)
J.R. Beltracchi thank you! 🙌
Awesome stuff, felt a bit jealous with your variety of fruit trees, feel awesome to learn that one cane eat hibiscus, loved yr video, you have such an incredible option of choice of plants , we have just started a food forest garden, in paulshof sandton south africa, has been in development activity for 30 years, there is no time better than now , to start anything, especially a food forest, wake up world , food is for free, love your farm
I think I will be there. I look forward to meeting you!
Katrina Harvey sweet! I’ll have a hat for you 😉
Hey Pete,
Your property is awesome! I know roughly how you feel about winter blues. Looks like you could use an ecosystem pond near your house or patio. Then you’d have fish fertilizer! I enjoy the long form videos. Keep it up! 👊🏼
The Barefooted Gardener thank you! I actually have two ponds right near the house, I should probably feature them sometime.
Worth revisiting, informative and inspirational as usual. Love all your content but whole yard overhauls are the best.
Thanks! I’m definitely overdue for an update on my own place.
What a difference a year makes.
Seriously Armageddon over here last year!
Yes it does
I like your farm
Good job I like watching you video
👍👍👍👍👍
Look like my back home
Wow lots of plants to know (first time to see them) and thank for sharing
Awesome! Thanks
Love it
I love all your video's! Fantastic farm! See you at the Loquat Festival, I need a grafted Loquat!
fantastic work and dedication, Pete.
Fhedge, food hedge.
Surinam Cherry 18:25
Isn’t that genius?!? 😉💪🏽
right up the road from me I’m in Hudson beach.
Oh nice! In just off 41 south of county line.
Another awesome video, thanks Pete. By the way, i bought two Loquat trees a few days ago, they are my favorite fruit, i always ate them when we went to vacation in Turkey. I also bought two Pink Lemonade Blueberries and two Brazilian Guavas aka Feijoa's.
Easy Grows thank you! Sounds like some nice additions to the garden. I keep hearing about these pink lemonade blueberries, gonna have to try them.
Amazing place! everything is doing great, Im in love with your garden. Congratulations and greetings from spain
mikelson1988 thank you! Much love to Spain 🙌
there's a gigantic mulberry tree growing across the road near our farm and i swear it has the sweetest berries ive ever had
Muy bueno.
Pete mate, what an amazing farm, i've been following your channel for a while now and i enjoy watching it develops. All the best.
Michal Cukrowski thanks man! All that hard work is paying off.
try thick guilds with certain tropicals in the middle maybe
I LOVE the tour videos, but it would be nice to see shorter educational videos too, maybe a mixture of both? 🌲🌳🌴
Shinda Ratto thank you! That’s the plan, my next next few videos are shorter and plant specific.
How much direct sun is that Jaboticaba getting? About out of space here but I have some spots that get eastern sun and a few hrs of southern before the sun disappears behind the house.
Lig's Life hardy any direct light to be honest. It gets a few good hours of dappled light, maybe an hour of more direct sun mid morning. I’ve recently moved all my Jabo’s to the shade. I have over 150 in the nursery and it’s night and day how they look from full sun to shade. They definitely seem to prefer shade in my experience.
@@PeteKanarisGreenDreamsFL Thanks, off to dig a hole and get this thing out of the nursery pot.
Def. would love to see plant specific vids. So inspired, thank you for sharing!!
Just moved to Mascotte, Fl. Bought 11acres may need your consulting help soon!
Want to figure out how to grow bread fruit!
Simply beautiful.🌈🌹🌷👍
April Garrahan thank you 🙏
