What happened to lemons and Plums? I rate plums higher than those cherry trees. Get rid of those tree's you don't like and plant some plums or something else you like. Yeah!!!
James, maybe you've already posted this somewhere and I just haven't seen it, but do you have a site map of your garden? I would love to see how you lay out your beds, trees, and so on, because sometimes it seems like you must be working with a hundred-acre plot! Fantastic stuff, man. Thank you for sharing your world with us!
Let me also add my request for a site map. I have a few shade trees on my property and it would be helpful to know what I can plant underneath these trees and still have a successful food forest. I'm in zone 7, too.
I have been watching you for years without a home of My own now I have one I have been building my dream garden piece by piece lots of failures but with Noone to teach me my passion in life it wouldn't have been possible with out you ty for your energized teaching.
Congratulations on your home!!!! Best of luck growing your garden!! Be watchful for both success and unfortunately, some failures! But don't get frustrated!!!
I love seeing how your garden (and you and Tuck) has grown and changed over the years! Thank you for continuing to share and encouraging everyone! I would love to see a q&a live stream!!
Your positivity and your gorgeous side kick keep me coming back! You’re so inspiring I now have a number of fruit trees in my garden thanks to you - raspberries, cherry tree, apple, peach, fig and red, white and black currant and hazelnut!
I had a Thai Basil plant that was in a pot. She flowered and spread her babies everywhere! I’ve potted a few of them in various places in the garden because pollinators love the blooms. Oddly, the original plant died, but she created a huge family. I also have a mint plant but learned the hard way that unless you want a mint jungle, plant it in a pot that is off the ground. They spread out of their pots out of the drain holes.
Hey bro I’ve always loved gardening and have done it since a child, you inspired me to start my yt channel a few days ago thanks dude! I love ur channel
Another legendary video. Let's forever appreciate how James gets right to the point with the info we came for. It's endless inspiration and knowledge for turning the back yard into a food forest...with no stress!
We are mid 70's and never knew how great potatoes are supposed to be. We are blessed and try to inspire other. James. Thank you for inspiriting us and being such a ♥good dad to ♥Tuck. ♥
James is the most ingenious, enthusiastic food farmer in the universe. The variety of food is amazing. Enjoy all his videos. Being a dog person, love seeing precious planting pal, master gardener, food connoisseur King Tuck.❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you, James, for sharing the details of your "broke the rules" food forest. Such incredible levels of produce from those trees and plants as well! Best to you and Tuck❤!
I grow fall/winter crops like greens/tubers in the thick mulch/compost around my fig trees. I also plant Red Ripper Peas around my fruit trees in spring and it feeds the wild bunnies and keeps them away from my garden, keeps making longer vines, adds nitrogen to the soil, gives me a harvest until fall, and the leaves and vines create great compost. Red Ripper Peas are the most heat & drought tolerant plant I`ve seen and the leaves and young pods are edible too.
Wow this is incredible.....nothing beats enjoying the fruits of your labor..Love from Nigeria...i feel so inspired by you and i started my own little container garden (taking tips from you) at home. Though am no where near your perfection but i feel so elated when i go to the garden to get as little as spring onions to use in a dish. Thanks for the good work and also cheers to your little buddy.
Great ideas. Thank you! You are wonderful for our environment! My property was just certified as a Wildlife Habitat . I wanted to do that for a long time and just finally did it!!!! Hope it will encourage others also!!!
If you have a productive cherry tomato vine that`s beginning to get too large and old take cuttings and make new plants. They grow very very fast and look healthier and more vigorous than the parent plant. I do this every August.
@@VK-qo1gm for my Roma tomatos, both worked. I only clipped the most bottom leaves, made really deep holes with a stick and put them in. Lots of water on the first day and after it left the leaves hanging for a few days the plant started growing.
James--your food forest has grown to be so amazing! I've been following you for many years. Thank you for your enthusiasm and kindness in sharing everything you do. Blessings to you and Tuck and your family.
Thank you so much for your ideas and encouragement, James & Tuck! We have a small side yard but we are growing many vegetables in food safe 5 gallon buckets because of viewing your videos. Thank you! ❤❤❤❤🥰 for Tuck !
James, you and puck are rock stars . Thanks for all your great information, it’s helped to make me a better gardener. I don’t recall ever seeing a video about what critters you battle in your food forest. Mine is a modest 15x30 and last year a wood chuck/ groundhog did major damage and this year it’s been squirrels and Norway rats which have eaten half of my ripening tomatoes. I would love to hear your experiences….Mike
I love the advice AGAINST the ones you wouldn't grow again, if you started over. it is really nice to see the honestly of making a bad choice and not pretending like it was not a mistake.
Thank you! I have started growing my own food and your information is so helpful!.. and seeing Tuck, is always an added bonus~! And - Congrautalations to CL Macowen! enjoy the composter!!
I have watched you for several years now and I love seeing your space change and grow. I have lots of fruit trees (10 so far) that I’ve planted. We’ve only been in our house two years, so I’m still waiting for all my perennials to produce. We have blackberries, strawberries, raspberries, asparagus, walking onions, rhubarb, artichokes probably more I’m forgetting g along with our fruit trees. I had my first nectarines this year!
It's so encouraging and fun to see what you grow. I'm still considering doing a chair garden here. I collected the lawn chairs and bins to put in the chairs. My plan is to grow food in the bins. I'll have to work on getting it set up. I don't know if I'll get it done this fall. I do love watching all that you accomplish. Thank you for the details on the varieties of each. It's also great to know what you don't recommend growing.
Watching you and Tuck❤❤❤ inspired me to plant alot more in my garden with beds filled with zucchini, sunflowers, beans etc !! I look at my garden differently now. Thank you for sharing your beautiful food forest!❤
This is very encouraging. I started putting some plants in the ground 4 years ago - orange, moringa, cactus some nut trees. This year, they are all flowering. I cant wait to eat the fruits. I also have a plot with leafy greens and I don't buy them anymore. Recently, I plants herb seeds and have a small herb bed. I am now encouraged to plant more trees around the yard. I even make my compost from free cow dung I collect near where I live. I have decided to collect seeds and plant own trees at home, some have germinated already. Its cheaper for me doing it this way.
Your zeal ands enthusiasm areI really fun to watch. It makes me wish I had a backyard garden, but unfortunately I live in a condominium and I had a rhythm pathetic response when I moved here. I had had a deck with plants on it reviously so I brought them here to the complex I set them out in a place where they could have been distributed somewhere but despite my inquiry nobody did anything with them. I planted a few of them outside the back door of my building and someone was not very happy about that at all. So I ultimately took them to Golden Gate Park And left them where the staff could use them. I have to admit however, I wasn't a very good parent to a small patch of garden that my landlord let me use. I think you're kind of zeal is required, Though I also had a very busy life so I couldn't always do what was necessary. I also put out some poison to stop the snails and my landlord freaked out Because of his dog, so I gave up that little patch and Just kept plants on my my deck. Even there, I was really surprised how much water they required and I really do miss that apartment with a deck and the sweeping view of downtown San Francisco.
Thank you for sharing the process and results of growing so many edible plants in a small garden. It's really cool to see so many different plants growing well. I think breaking the rules actually brought good results. Great effort and great video!
Your garden is to die for! I've be tryin to do the same but Georgia's climate has been rough all summer so it has really stunted my harvest. The heat and humidity has eventually wiped out most of my cucumber plants and melon plants and I have had an ongoing fight with chewing bugs and disease. I put some purple bean plants in the round and about half have been eaten by bugs within days of planting. It's very frustrating because my food costs are through the roof, and when I run out of seeds in the packs I have to buy more when no plants result to collect seeds from! I have several Brussel's sprout plants that have been growing in the heat but have not developed sprouts on the sides. I hope when it gets cool they will start producing.
The big advantage of Elaeagnus: we can leave the fruits on the trees during the winter. When they have passed through the cold, they are not so tart, I'd say they are delicious. And the tree tolerates cutting very well.
HEY - will you do one of those "persimmon seed" readings that tell what your local weather will be? I think that would be fun to see. Knife - Fork - or Spoon. What'll it be?
You are so blessed to have so much area to grow in and undoubtedly not just clay soil, roots and rocks like my back yard here in Arkansas. I'm 71 and I have 3 above ground gardens and a small patch about 12'x9'. I wish I had a green thumb and the knowledge you have to care for plants. I was very excited that I had cucumbers that actually grew this year since they had never been successful before and beans usually grow well. My squash never does well. It flowers, but rots on the plant, then I got the squash bugs! My tomatoes haven't produced any fruit, the flowers just seem to die. The eggplant took forever to produce anything and then only a couple of eggplant the size of a plum. I feed the plants and water but no good comes of it. I had a fig tree but it died the third year. Just bad soil even though I've spent loads on good soil, manure and compost. It would be so nice if I was younger or at least had someone to help. I enjoy watching you and Tuck in your garden and daydream of what a wonderful garden I could grow one day.
Have you ever tried growing Taiwanese Jujubes? They’re also called Taiwanese Green apple because the fruits are as big as green apple. They’re so delicious that no Chinese jujubes could ever be compared to them. They are very easy to grow too. We love them more than any fruit trees we have in our garden.
I highly recommend some more cold hardy figs. I have +8 right now. There are so many varieties that can grow in zone 7. As you know fig trees are fast growing, low maintenance, long lived and productive. I started my food forest in 2021 with lots of trial and error so there's so much for me to learn. I look forward to seeing your garden every month as it definitely inspires me here in zone 7 Maryland.
perennials! We are adding lots of them as well. As we get older this is working well for us. We do apples, cherries, peaches, strawberries, rhubarb, grapes, asparagus so far. Need more veggies!
I love your food forest James! When you say you wrap your trees, could you show us how you do it? I have critters that like my fruit trees! I appreciate all you share and teach us!
Yay for clmccowen and Tuck ❤❤❤! I really want to plant rhubarb, but will have to wait until I have a place for it. I'm glad to see it doing well in zone 7A because that's my zone too.

Have you ever tried to grow Mary Jane just curious 😂
I'm a serial killer of rosemary and thyme for some reason I can't keep them alive even though I watch RUclips for their care.
What happened to lemons and Plums? I rate plums higher than those cherry trees. Get rid of those tree's you don't like and plant some plums or something else you like. Yeah!!!
Congratulations
Your enthusiasm is contagious, and long live the king 💛
Let's Gooo! Tuck and Gardening getting me amped!

I love seeing how your garden (and you and Tuck) has grown and changed over the years! Thank you for continuing to share and encouraging everyone! I would love to see a q&a live stream!!

❤❤❤ Tuck and congrats to the winner! Your food forest is more than impressive. Those apples are gorgeous!
Please bring back your signature opening. It was such a wonderful start to all of your videos.
I was also disappointed not hearing it 😂
People underestimate the power of perennials. The moment you get land spam a variety of perennials all over it.
I absolutely love your channel and selflessness in teaching others.
You are my favorite garden channel, i am in process of copying your food forest, and I love Tuck too!❤❤❤
❤❤❤😊
Congrats to the winner🎉 Thanks for showing your beautiful garden. A big hug to Tuck🐶💕
Always a beautiful garden James ❤❤❤ thank you

James really enjoyed the video you have so much enthusiasm it's addictive
Thank you for sharing, I love the wonderful plants and fruits and vegetables you grow.
Thank you for showing your perennial plants and trees! They are amazing!! Could you explain about watering and maintaining them?

❤❤❤ love for Tuck and all. Congratulations
A greenhouse would be a good item to give away! Also, a large raised bed, shade cloth, insect netting, and tall trellises.
I agree! I love all those ideas.
Congrats to clmccowen! ♥♥♥♥ A raised bed giveaway would be amazing!

Thanks James and Tuck! I planted a pear tree a few years back and this year I got my first pear. It was one of the best pears I have ever tasted.
It's so encouraging and fun to see what you grow.
I'm still considering doing a chair garden here. I collected the lawn chairs and bins to put in the chairs. My plan is to grow food in the bins.
