People in remote areas bless each other a lot. They have no choice but to depend upon the goodwill of others around them.If they know of neighbor's need, they will reach out; and you'll do the same when you find others in need later. It works. Best of luck.
I just love y’all. Made my day even got a tear in my eyes. I’m so glad we’ve become friends. You’re such awesome people. The best kind of people. I just love the stained glass! That’s beautiful! Thanks so much!🥰 Eucalyptus trees are beautiful and awesome and grow fast. Requires little water too.
Moringa can be such a versatile tree, I was reading some people in the desert build mini green house domes for the trees to create the best habitat for them.
This world is full of amazing people. 19 yrs. Ago when we bought this 3acers, that was originally part of a bigger farm. We bought the original house and old sheds. We tore down most of the old buildings, and spent two yrs on cleanup. At the end we counted how many people helped us out and it came to 41. Take care the stirms.
What kind of tree, you ask? Mesquite trees...hands down, the toughest tree alive. Loves the desert. You two are doing a fantastic job. Keep up the good work.
It’s a tropical tree that can survive droughts, but keep it mulched. Moringa is often called the drumstick tree because of its skinny, foot-long pods. It also goes by mother’s best friend, the miracle tree, the never die tree, and the ben oil tree. You can eat almost all of the moringa, including the seeds, flower, and leaves.
Thanks for the kind message to your fans. I'm glad to be part of this even if its just cheering you on. Go with Pistachio and Almond trees get that natural protein for your bodies. Not sure if you guys are coffee drinkers but I would love to see some one grow and make there own coffee off grid style. I heard it can take 5 years for a coffee plant to produce beans. Some thing to consider. Take care guys see ya Thursday.
Hey y'all, been a while...glad to hear things are going well for you and that so many good things are coming your way- hard work paying off! Take care🤙-Josh
Hell yeah trees! I'm not very well informed on trees that do well in the desert, but I imagine you'll want some drought tolerantf fruit and nut trees, and some nice big SHADE MAKERS!
Well we can say we love what you two beautiful people are doing out there for sharing your videos on here and talking throughout the whole step without missing details on everything written down and we’re all in this beautiful here as see so we thank you and May God keep you safe throughout your life out there
For years my family had a place on Havasu Lake. I used to love the sound of the wind as is rustled through the leaves of the many cottonwood trees we had on the property. I believe the variant we had was the Fremont cottonwood (Populus fremontii).
Let me say this first you two are a blessing to others as well. Now as to the trees start out a bit with a couple of layers of trees to create a wind break. That way any future fruit trees will stand a better chance.
That's really awesome for you two! Might I suggest a citrus tree , and shade tree either a fruitless mullberry , or one that fruits, there berries are pretty tasty. There fairly easy to maintain, once they get going. You could even use the gray water, for them. They grow fast and produce fairly large leaves, which is what that soil needs is organic composition. There root system is shallow and quite aggressive when it comes too locating water. They can handle cold temperatures as well. Keep up the good work God bless amen.
Airing dirty laundry!! LOL! Our assistant principal used to say, "People just want to get on TV and iron their dirty laundry." LOL! Thanks for sharing your journey! Maybe plant pinyon pines. Blessings Abound.
Hello Jim and Jess, As far as trees go, if you want a shade tree, a Palo Verde or Desert Willow would be good. I personally think it would be a double benefit to have a fruit tree. Apple, peach, olive, plum, apricot, or a citrus like grapefruit, orange, lime, or lemon. Those trees will be a Godsend for years to come. I believe planting them on the East side of your home, so they get morning sun would be great. Just pick your favorite type of tree to start, and add a few every year of other things you'd like to try. As long as you don't plant anything too sensitive to cold, since you do get some cold weather at times, you should be just fine with whatever you pick. (Avocadoes don't like cold.) With that wonderful, home made fertilizer / compost you're making, you should get the roots established quickly. Just remember to fertilize continually, every few weeks. Last, I recommend you plan carefully how many trees your water supply can support, because frequent watering will be very important to get them established, especially in your hot climate. God bless. - Liz C.
It is great to be blessed with friends! It's great you got a replacement miter saw! Great that people made a couple of beautiful things for you too! Yeah, gutters for filling the cistern! I'm so glad you got those up! I'm glad you figured out that the angle was different for the gothic arch! I really like how it is turning out. Fantastic Vlog! Thanks!
I would suggest startying out with native trees when possible. Parkinsonia florida, the blue Palo Verde might be the best choice to start since it is well suited to your climate. It is a beautiful tree that can give nice shade when the lower branches are trimmed. You might also consider Quercus Emoryi the Emory Oak since it is also native and well suited.
I have moringa trees here in Quartzsite that I started from seed, one is in bloom! As long as the roots are well mulched I think you could grow them in Cochise county.
Not sure about pecan trees in your climate without a whole lot of water. But you already know your area is perfect for citrus trees. Especially lemon. That’s what I would be planting. I love everything you can make with lemons. Such a very healthy fruit as well. I make lemon pancakes that are so delicious. 😋
Look up what Jeff Lawton has been able to do in the desert. You will gain much inspiration from his talks. The domes are looking good and I can't wait to see the roof go on. Keep up the good work. You will find Jeff on the Permaculture channel.
First plant a good desert nitrogen fixer like a few good mesquite trees, pecans should make a nice canopy trees, after you have some shade you should be able to plant some figs, and berries.
Australian Tipuana Tipus, Hong Kong Orchids, Elm Trees, Mesquites, & Palo Verdes are great shade trees for the dry desert which provide a better more suitable place to plant fruit trees.
We live in the AZ desert as well, just planted some various fruit trees. It just enhances your sustainability of living off grid. We’re thinking of running grape plants down our slope to the creek too!
You guys are so wonderfully blessed and such beautiful people. I'll be moving to either Apache County or Cochise County within the year and I hope I get to meet you someday.
That ladybug shot ! Awesomesauce..that staind glass piece the coolest! Might need to cut a wooden circle to go into that bucket looks sturdy but idk... Yall are inspiring keep it up!
My all time favorite tree is Mesquite. Great shade, drought tolerant, grows fast, and such a long life. It’s a member of the Pea family so the roots store nitrogen - great for planting things around it. The one in my front yard was actually doing poorly until I planted things around it ... it’s a social tree. :). I don’t have much room but would love to plant another in the back yard.
Trees are great. Natures great water tower. The more you use, the more green you will maintain. What I Would Suggest.. is whatever trees you put in, pair with bushes. Slow growing hearty bushes in a perimeter like a half circle on the trees sunpath as a block along the ground facing the sun. This will greatly help the tree reach old age and the bushes will benefit from the trees root system as well. I wouldnt begin to choose either for you, that is a big path I would never want to limit someone with. Very good to see the melting and pairing of you two with others. Community and caring is important and deeply gratifying.
Well.. I would suggest actually.. "snake or coyote" repelling plants.. perhaps you will find particular ones. You certainly dont want to give them their favorites.
I like the edit for the dirty laundry joke. You teased it in the beginning, but when it came time to watch it in the video it was slightly different with the clean joke. It makes it entertaining as the viewer and not a repetitive rehash.
Advice on tree planting. When you do plant trees don’t use a dribbler or drip system to water them, using either method causes tree to send out shallow roots and not send its tap root down looking for water. Without a tap root during a monsoon the wind just blows the tree over. Try this instead. When you plant using an auger send a hole down 4 to 5 feet on an angle and put 3” pvc pipe in that has holes in it. Plant tree and surface water then fill pvc pipe with water. Fill pvc once a week for 6 weeks then every other week for 12 weeks then once a month for 6 months. This will cause the tree to reach down to find the water table with it’s tap root. Have fun.
@@miltonhopper2932 Thanks Milton. So it needs only about 3 gallons of water to fill a 5 feet tall 4 inch pipe, very economic. I will plant some trees using your method, thank you again.
I had a big owl’ Grapefruit tree in the back yard in Palm Desert, California.... similar weather. It survived really well, and produced lots of Grapefruits.
Back when I lived in Arizona between Queen Creek and Casa Grande I had pecan trees, orange trees and avacado trees. They all do very well in the desert with not much water. Pecan tree does great shade and wonderful cooking wood for smokers
@@ourselfreliantlife just outside yes. But most people don't know where that is. Lol wish I never sold my land but moved to Florida so I didn't think I'd want to go back but really do miss it at times
I love Chitalpa trees. They are a cross between Catalpa and Desert Willows. I planted two when I lived in Tucson and they did very well. They're drought resistant plus they have beautiful pink blossoms for most of the summer. Probably get to about 30-40 ft. tall. AND, although not a tree I think you need lots of Ocotillo on your property. I love them.
You could get some Tipu trees for fast-growing shade, maybe some pear trees...good firewood, shade and fruit, and some Arizona walnuts. Cara-cara is a type of navel orange that grows well in desert regions too.

Grow dates.
Sowing seed now, they should be ready for harvesting in 4-5 years.

It is good to hear that your Mom is doing good ....May God bless us ALL ...
Any citrus does well here. Mesquite is also a good one. You can harvest the pods to make a delicious flour.
Curious if citrus grows well in Navajo county as we are looking to move there, would love lemons, limes, and possibly grapefruit. ?
P.S. Beautiful gifts for beautiful people. 🦋💜🦋
Aw, Crew waiting for his dad to come home. It’s so nice having a great RUclips community.
You all have a great week.
Thank you! Have a great week as well.
Mezquite. You can make flour to cook with it. Moringa tree ismedicinal plus is it leaves are good in salads. Cactus too.nopalitos.
I just love y’all. Made my day even got a tear in my eyes. I’m so glad we’ve become friends. You’re such awesome people. The best kind of people. I just love the stained glass! That’s beautiful! Thanks so much!🥰
Eucalyptus trees are beautiful and awesome and grow fast. Requires little water too.
Thanks so much for the sign Pam. We love it. We have it hanging above the first one you gave us.
If we plant eucalyptus, we can have Koalas out here.😁
@@ourselfreliantlife ❤️😊👍
Moringa can be such a versatile tree, I was reading some people in the desert build mini green house domes for the trees to create the best habitat for them.
That's so interesting, I wonder if that's available in Portugal? Have to research.
This world is full of amazing people. 19 yrs. Ago when we bought this 3acers, that was originally part of a bigger farm. We bought the original house and old sheds. We tore down most of the old buildings, and spent two yrs on cleanup. At the end we counted how many people helped us out and it came to 41. Take care the stirms.

A post hole augers attached to a tractor, is my quess. Plant trees that will thrive in your area.
Stone fruit and Moringa. Love to see dishes of Moringa prepared by Jess.
Palo verde tree. Grows great in the desert. It's fast growing and you got to love the yellow flower.

Love the videos and how positive you two are. thanks for sharing your story.
Pecan Tree, My Aunt and Uncle had them in their backyard in Phoenix, They knew I loved Pecans and would always have a bag full for me at picking time.
I have moringa trees here in Quartzsite that I started from seed, one is in bloom! As long as the roots are well mulched I think you could grow them in Cochise county.

I don't have a tree suggestion, but saguaro cactuses would be cool :D That stained glass piece is really awesome, by the way :)
Thanks you two! We love that stained glass piece.
Unfortunately saguaros don't do that well at our elevation.
A nice row of pine trees for a wind break....

Rain & Snowmelt harvesting is high on my list of needed activities.
BTW awesome miter saw!
the stained glass sun is adorable :D
Niiicceee! You’ll be able to make awesome cabinets and furniture with that Miter saw.
Afghan pines. Plant all trees for where you will want shade for the years to come.

Great video on positivity!!
Much love today!
Keep going!!

Thank you Brad!
Mesquite or Palo Verde trees last in drought condition out in AZ they are native.
I suggest that you cover an area with 8 to 12 in of wood chips and waiting for 2 months. Then planting many seeds, and observe what grows.
Shaade trees on the western side of the home Silver Dollar Gum tree, Rainbow Eucalyptus trees get tall and are beautiful.
You guys are so wonderfully blessed and such beautiful people. I'll be moving to either Apache County or Cochise County within the year and I hope I get to meet you someday.

It’s lookin real good guys! You’ve done a lot of work😊
Love the stained glass, beautiful.
Simply Pam is such an awesome artist!! Glad to see you working on the gutters for when the rains arrive..whenever that may be lol
We'll be ready. 😁
Find your local pioneer species so that you can plant a lot of them, walk away & later harvest their biomass for future projects/compost.

An Ag-engineer, great advice.
What diameter the auger should be ?
@@markspc1 for 3 to 4” pvc you need a 3.5” to a 5”.
That is a great idea! Will it work in clay soil?
@@miltonhopper2932 Thanks Milton. So it needs only about 3 gallons of water to fill a 5 feet tall 4 inch pipe, very economic.

I love Chitalpa trees. They are a cross between Catalpa and Desert Willows. I planted two when I lived in Tucson and they did very well. They're drought resistant plus they have beautiful pink blossoms for most of the summer. Probably get to about 30-40 ft. tall.
