    It's a real goal of ours to get as many 'human productive' plants as possible to the point of being naturalized in our landscape. When your "weeds" are largely desirable, productive plants, I feel like that's winning the game ;)

    I planted no squash this year but the compost has delivered a bounty of butternut and spaghetti squash.
    A lot of my current sized tomatoes and all of my mustard come from volunteers as well.
    I am looking forward to the day when my seedbank is as saturated with food plants as yours is!
    Thanks for another inspirational video.

    If you like capers, try making nasturtium seed pickles.😋 Only use seed clusters that won’t fall off stem when tugged on, otherwise the pickles will be woody. 💖

    I've always enjoyed your calm and meditative voice regardless of the subject and today i became conscious of the fact that after "walking" around your garden with you how much your garden color, sound, shape and relationship are linked to that quality.

    volunteer trees are often the healthiest, we let whatever turn up wherever it wants and scored several lovely fruit trees, lots of silver birch, a massive feral apple, and a giant peppercorn. we sell cut foliage and flowers to florists so almost every surprise tree has been very welcome! The apple branches and blossoms/fruit have decorated about 20 weddings over the last few years and it still looks barely touched at 20 odd foot tall.

    I was curious how your squash plantings at the larger property were doing… if I remember right you were planting a lot of them into piles of compost in somewhat shaded areas near trees and bushes they could climb.

    • @edibleacres
      @edibleacres  2 года назад +1

      Thanks for remembering. That site just didn't get nearly enough water early in the season when the squash were getting established and they are alive but will only slightly generate a crop I suspect

    We FINALLY got some rain so am tempted to just sow out a bunch of seeds all over spare bed space similar to how you have. Problem is, maybe it's a climate thing, but young seedlings just get destroyed by bugs, birds, I don't know what, but they love the young leaves, it's very hard to plant from seed round here, but growing starts and transplanting is such a drag, maybe I will just go for quantity and hope something survives. Got loads of brassica and other seeds that want using up anyway

  • @joycecasper1474

    • @slaplapdog
      @slaplapdog 2 года назад +2

      Great question, I thought the same thing!
      I have a lot of similar volunteers in my land scape, and I try to transplant them once they become too large.
      If they are too entrenched, I cut them back hard, and feed the cuttings back to the land.
      Shawn may be more accommodating to them, he has a gentle touch with living beings.

    Just had a question on the carrot variety, are they Nantes, Chantenay's, Imperators? Just planted Nantes that mature 60ish days, and I'm worried once I hit winter that if I plant Chantenay carrots, which can take upwards to 80-90 days to mature, that they won't be able to grow at all. 💚

      The idea of our videos offering a feeling of peace while quietly nudging to go for it is basically the founding principle I work from. Reading your experience helps me feel like the videos are doing what they are meant to do is rad. We can skip the jealousy aspect though, I'd rather just think of us all in a huge community with our own focus and strength and areas we specialize in sharing as we go..
