  • We added more fruit trees and ground cover layers over the last month and found some exciting new herbs and flowers to enrich the garden.
    Why did we plant bonsai fruit trees in the food forest garden?
    Where do we get our cardboard?
    Taste testing Mulberry, and japanese pepper.
    Thanks for watching.

    Congratulations! You got my daughter interested in gardening! Well in a certain plant anyway! I was watching your video and having a coffee, she was beside me. She herd you say " Japanese gummy bear tree! " and it did sound like gummy bear! So I am now tasked with finding this amazing tree for our garden! She can't wait for the first harvest! Great video. Thank you

    • @NearbyVeggies
      @NearbyVeggies  Год назад +6

      I called them gummy bears too. Maybe you could make a little folding shape (gummy bear) to enclose the baby fruits and they would form the shape. You know like the square watermelons 🤣

    It's amazing how many different varieties of food you have growing and always adding more. I got to wondering what foods you are growing that are synonymous with certain countries. That led me on to wondering if you could make (or if you already have the makings of) a garden that you could call "The World Garden". Your knowledge of these plans astounds me and the fact that you can pronounce the Latin names of them too. When I see them I revert to a child learning to read LOL. Great job. Take care, Poo

    You got sansho pepper! You'll have to wait some years to get the peppercorns, but the leaves are nice in everything. Try them next time with plain gnocchi. Nice with fish or chicken - I don't eat meat now so I just put it in salads and everything :) I have another slightly different variety that grows here in the sub-tropics.
    Goumi berries are kind of like a sweet, tart, fruit tomato. Kind of. Hah, hah, they taste like a goumi. They'll get quite large like an egg shaped mini tomato and the skin has a rough spotty texture. I don't know if you are supposed to eat the skin but I do. My husband doesn't like them - too tart for him. I eat them as they are, but now you are going to have a goumi forest, you might be able to make jam out of them. But be careful - at least here, sparrows LOVE to eat the goumi blossom so if you don't protect the flowers, it is hard to get fruit.
    For my mulberries, I wear thin gloves and ever so gently pull on them a little. If they fall off in your hand, they are ripe and should be sweet.
    Australians make a spread called 'passionfruit butter' and if you search on RUclips you'll find recipes. Passionfruit are my favorite fruit and I eat them with a spoon like a soft boiled egg :) Stand them up and just cut off the head carefully so you don't lose any juice. They fall off when they are fully ripe, so picking them up from the ground is better than pulling them off.

    Do you stuff the flowers of the smaller zucchinis with goats cheese or any soft cheese you like then coat with light Japanese batter then fry? Thin slices of raw beetroot with goats cheese is also very nice. I'm going to try using kohlrabi, thanks

    • @NearbyVeggies
      @NearbyVeggies  Год назад

      I don’t do the flowers but I use tempura batter for lots of vegetables. Apparently the Portuguese gave the idea to the Japanese! Goat’s cheese is a favourite of ours and used in many of our meals. We have a lot of different styles of cheese here in Portugal. 😊

    Hello fellow plants people, I’ve been following your channel for a while and thoroughly enjoying/binge watching your food, cultivation journey… Living in Portugal as well, and only gardening on a balcony in containers for the meanwhile, and really really really really really really really like to know where you got the Japanese pepper from? If you could Direct message me the plant shop/nursery, or if you feel comfortable with sharing it in an open reply here, then please do so, as I would really love to grow it in a pot until I get access to ground… Keep up the brilliant work, and I think I have the hots for your husband a little, sorry :-) ha ha
