I LOVE this video! I have been doing what he does for years, I didn't realize it was called permaculture. I purchase empty lots and land with no trees and I plant them with mostly native plants and trees, I plant alot of black walnut, mulberry, raspberry, apples, blueberry and flowers that have seeds for the birds, butterflies and other wildlife, I also have ponds for the wildlife. My mother jokes with me every time I purchase some land, she says, are you going to turn this into a jungle too? I just laugh and say,I sure am!!
@@indigo22284 I don't believe he 'owns it all to himself'. My observation is he extremely generous with abundance of this land and very aware of the privilege this gives him. Yet my statement was he is a generous teacher; that statement stands absolutely regardless of any form of land entitlement.
I enjoy the conversational aspects of these tours. I love to learn and like it best through a conversation. Thank You Summer, Sander, and Sean. Another wonderful episode.
So wonderful to see these two channels that I follow collide! Sean is an inspiration and a wealth of knowledge…..not to mention just a super cool person and very supportive of those of us just getting into it!
No the government would hire one of their good buddies whom never planted a seed in his life. But knows how to order martinis, misogynistic and smoke cigars.
i love cornelian cherries, such a nostalgic taste! my mother used to tell me stories from her childhood where she and her friends used to buy them on string to wear as a necklace so they could eat from it as they went along.
Haha, Bob Ross! Yeah, I guess so. I've subscribed to his channel for a while, and in the beginning his soft-spokenness kind of bugged me, but he's such a nice and funny guy, and has the coolest laid-back holistic approach to gardening, that I just cannot see myself mad on.
Watching this from Wisconsin right now. Sean is an incredible young man! Outside it's icy and icky, but my soul is screaming for spring as I watch this. I need Spring! Beautiful interview. Thank you for sharing.
That’s so interesting to see his perspective on the ideal interaction with the Lane and not being bothered by native and non native…. It seems to me from a total layman perspective that this is one of the least intrusive ways to be part of the landscape whilst also being able to benefit by eating from and also having a business selling plants. Love it, really refreshing to see such minimal interference, the path of least resistance as he says🙌👌🤩🌱🍀💐🌸
If Sean writes a book about Edible Acres and his perspective about space n nature, I will find the book even though I am in Indonesia. He is just Oh my God. One hour of meaningful lecture. And it’s free documented by Flocks
What a beautiful woods. I’d recommend being very cautious with Hugel mounds on contour. Heavy rain or floods could pick up the logs and move them down hill. I look forward to seeing more and learning more about the different plants and guilds
I had such a great time! Thank you both. What a relaxing and fun wander. I hope my new property looks similar one day. If it were possible to pick up my property and set it down next any one person I chose to be my neighbor, I would chose Sean!
WOW ! Recognised the wind of L'Amour in father's back yard within the first minute of the video, so cool to see people stay in their parents' back yard s and Create amazing plant abundance with the love generated within the family Good luck there is no better way to stay - you must be some real cool dude 😘
This year I found that by planting around/garden areas / plants tending to draw in bad worm borers- turnips and parsnips WORKED AMAZINGLY WELL. They never crossed over to other plants which usually attract them. All needed to be composted because of the worms could not be used for eating. Russian Autumn olives are a blessing for me ! I break off the ripe seed branches and feed to the peacocks because it helps them survive colder Temps in area thru winters, chuck full of nutrients! All native birds gather also, their so smart ! Beautiful tour, thank you all for this presentation.
Outstanding… This fellow is patient & or a little lazy & watches how God designed everything & has great success & is “ ground breaking “. I love it ! Reminds me of Paul Gautschi
I'll be watching this a few more times. Listening to your conversation was very enjoyable. Along the way I learned the names & appearance of some natives in Upstate NY, which I haven't seen in my neck-o-the-woods, here in MA, Zone 5B. Though not too far from where you folks are, likely with a very similar climate, yet I saw several plants I've heard of but have never seen around here, even when I was a child back in the 50s when I lived in a rural area in Central MA. I'd enjoyed exploring the fields, woods & around the edges of a ponds at the bottom of the hill, behind our house quite a bit. Where the soil had been bulldozed to create a clearing, many years before, in summer, that was where the milkweeds & a few smaller full sun wild plants grew in that gritty bulldozed & roughly leveled area, & where I'd go to watch butterflies, wasps, & honeybees, and more flit about. I personally opened many dried milk weed pods & set free hundreds of the silky little balls of fluff that carried the Milkweed seeds up into the air on the slightest breeze.
Cornelian cherries are very popular here in Turkey.. We make jams (first boiled, deseeded then sugar is added 1:1 ratio and boiled again) we make syrups, drinks ,ice cream, coulis , sauces and cornelian cherry tarhana( a fermented dry soup base made from wheat ,yoghurt, sometimes tomato (in this case cornelian cherry paste ) and vegetables ... I love sour fruits so I love to eat them fresh💗
Fascinating, as usual, both Flock Finger Lakes and Edible acres. I can't wait until my 12 years old daughter can understand english well enough to find motivation in these videos, since she wants to "cure" spaces that were once destroyed, and help bringing them back to a natural balance ! ;o)
Also, forsythia & burning bush planted in hedge row around property keep deer and rabbits happy for in spring they know to eat these for their over winter arthritis. Looks beautiful in spring too.
Love Sean and a long time subscriber of his! Love this long tour. Does anyone else see a resemblance to the "Betterman" character from the Crood movie? 😆
regarding the mast year, here in Michigan our Oaks are producing enormous volumes of acorns, the redbud are completeley festooned with pods, even the Autumn Olive were heavily loaded. We've only been here going into five years, but this is unprecedented for us.
FYI, last year, the oaks had a severe shortage of acorns, causing many squirrels to die or leave. It was a rough winter. Many ‘fruiting’ plants will develop a biennial bias, where there is a heavy harvest every second year, and a weak harvest on the alternate years, which is one reason fruit growers trim trees yearly - it promotes more balanced harvest year to year.
12:03 "Instant gratification" That's half the human problem. They get a vision of something they want. Then it's "I WANT IT NOW!" No such thing as taking the time to follow the natural processes. Root exudate: Water soluble waste products of the plant metabolism. Certain waste products leave the plant via the roots. All bees are pollinators but not all pollinators are bees!
I'd love a bit more detail on the hardware cloth air prune bed. Are you using any landscape fabric? Looks like just hay and soil, but just hoping to clarify before I accidentally ruin this winter's haul of seeds.

Sean is one of my favourite RUclips humans. Such a beautiful soul and generous teacher. X
What is generous about owning six acres of land all to yourself ?? When others have NONE ??

So happy to see Sean again. The episodes where he first appeared are some of my favorites. I just love the way he talks about everything.
You can see Sean twice a week at least on edible acres with his 60 chickens.
I’m just discovering this guy and he is amazing :)
A mix of Geoff Lawton and Jordan Peterson xD
I love this guy. His soul shines through. Such a tender, broad heart. Thank you for sharing his wisdom.
I love the compassion for life Sean demonstrates. What a lovely farm/nursery space they have created.
More parents with 6 acre backyards needed.
ye
🤣🤣
You can do this on any scale, you’ll just have less trees but no reason you can’t grow every layer of succession on 1/6 acre
Love edible acres! Spreading such an important message/option/lifestyle! So glad to see them featured💚💚💚

I'd love to have Sean telling bedtime stories. Such a calm, warm voice.
Maybe he'll do at least one.🤗
Look up Joe Pera talks you to sleep
@@jaredmitchell292 I am fascinated by this guy. Thanks for the recommendation!
Didn't he just? :)
My life (and that of many, I'm sure) is instantly made better when you upload a video with Sean. Thank you! You're awesome!🤗💛🤗💛🤗💛🤗💛
He should be the agriculture and forest minister of the nation. He is a ..... I don't have words..... Great

Great insight of the variety of plants and the natural flow. Thanks guys for sharing the inspiring journey.
A great revisit with Sean. I love listening to him and his wisdom working with his property. Thank you Flocks for this video.
Sean is the “Bob Ross” of horticulture. He sells great garlic, hope you got some.
That’s who he reminds me of!🥰
I got some!
I can hear it in the way he talks, yes.

This video tour is so awesome. Really nice to see some high-level plant/land talk. Sean really goes-with-the-flow like no one else. Thank you both!!
Such a peaceful man and you can tell he loves what he does
I love the fact that you put the botanical names on the screen, I use that information to research additions to my food forest.

Then you need to make one with indonesian tropical permaculture. Good luck
didn't expect to find Indonesian people in this comment section
@@hafizhanda5930 why not?
@@PierreLaBaguette it's so damn hard to find Indonesian with this kind of interest, especially the younger generation
@@hafizhanda5930 kata siapa?
Sean and Sasha are doing the creators work! Thankful for people like them to pass along their vast amount of knowledge.
Im just floored by his attitude on basically companion planting a nanny or nurse plant to the other plans
So lovely to see his intimate knowledge of that space!
I'm new to all of this, but, I just love how he talks about the ecosystem here. It leaves me wanting to know more. Thank you!
EVERYTIME I watch a video with Sean I learn SO MUCH. The pond succession...chef's kiss.
What a beautiful woods. I’d recommend being very cautious with Hugel mounds on contour. Heavy rain or floods could pick up the logs and move them down hill. I look forward to seeing more and learning more about the different plants and guilds

Definitely appreciate the tour. Love to see the organized abundance
He needs to write a book about how he works with his land to accomplish such an awesome space.
I am in for this book!

The way sean speaks is so sweet "they volunteered to be there" instead of others saying "ITS A WEED" lol I love his views
0:24 We're still in the pre-reel and I don't think you can top Sean saying "yea, this's my tractor."
the cornelian cherries can be used as a subsitute for olives and they are great for sweet jams as well

Very conscientious... beautiful. Thank you. I wish this sort of farming was as popular as watching Netflix.
So much great inspiration and knowledge. I just love your videos flock, I get ideas every time that I can use in my own suburban yard. ✌🏼🌲🙂
Sean and Sasha...you are on a whole other level! God bless you for sharing!
Thank Sean & Sasha for the link to your channel. Will get to view your posts ASAP. Hello from Monmouth County, NJ
Amazing video! Love these guys style of growing! thanks for continuing to share their stuff with us!
Sean is such a gentle soul.
But he doesn’t take BS! Haha I wish everyone was like him
"Everybody that plants too close together is cheering right now". Yes, I take Sean's caveat that you need to prune, plan, etc., but still cheering!
congrats on the awesome youtube channel
Love both your channels! Cool to see you work with each other
I really enjoyed watching this video and learned a lot about companion planting that I can use in my own small garden. Thank you!
Such a lovely guy. You should do some more vids with him. Captivating way of speaking
His voice is soo peaceful
I love the way towards the pond at 11:00
This blew my mind! So much knowledge, so much respect for the environment. 😍
Thank you for sharing! That's an amazing garden.
We’ve had very hot summers in Europe and the US for years and this is the first temperate and wet summer in a long time and nature obviously loved it.
Thanking the Flocks for visiting Edible Acre again
“Squirkling” is now my new favorite word
Love this man’s way ! What a beautiful smart human
Just listening to thing lifts my mood. Thanks!
Also, forsythia & burning bush planted in hedge row around property keep deer and rabbits happy for in spring they know to eat these for their over winter arthritis. Looks beautiful in spring too.
Yes, yes, yes. Absolutely beautiful!
I could listen to this man’s voice for hours
Really enjoyed this video🌿 Love the companion planting insight. So many great take always 💚
I am so impressed by all the knowledge shared =) would love if you had some curses to share more of all your knowings! thank you very much!
Well done garden and a very good video.
Got some mature old ash trees here in wales..would make the amazon basin proud when they get old enough :)
Great tour! Sean is such an inspiration 🙏
Wow!!! Great video, phenomenal information!!!
