Just want you to know that you got my 14 yr old daughter, who never wants to do anything, interested in gardening. I was watching one of your videos on the tv and I just knew she would think you were 'lame' or not get your jokes at all, cuz ya know, 14. Nope. She loves you. I put your audiobooks on in the car and she's like, 'Yessss!'. We recently finished The Good Guide to Survival Gardening and my boys (8 & 9) now scream 'MURDERER!' anytime anyone mentions popcorn. Great job! I'm no longer the only one hauling watering cans and weeding. 😂 Thanks for being Good for the whole family. ☺
That sounds like way too much fun, you've done a good job getting your kids involved! I would love to be around when the kids scream murderer. that's so funny.
I finished reading Compost Everything over the weekend and charred my first batch of biochar yesterday. I'm learning so much from your videos and books. Thank you!
That "I don't care" method is working out nice for me. At first I wanted everything in straight lines, partitioned out, neat and tidy etc. Now I'm far more relaxed. My wife will ask what one of ours raised beds is, and I'm just like "Peas. Arugula. I don't know. Both maybe." I let stuff go to seed and come back again. Drives her insane, but it works for me.
I’ve got my grocery rows going on some plums and peaches I put in a few years ago and have added mulberry, apple, hazelnut and some raspberry. Adding the annuals to them is the fun part. I started last fall and am continuing this spring. Everything is looking great. The cool thing is that I have a lot of native wildflowers that do what they want and are showing up in there this spring. Southeast Texas 9b
I love how you stuck a random cactus in there lol I wish I could be more relaxed about the garden….I’m getting there! My husband told me a couple nights ago while we were sitting outside admiring our handiwork that he wants to flatten out our sons dirt bike track and plant fruit trees and whatever else I want….I swear, he is the best husband of 30 years and that one comment from him was way better than flowers and candy on valentines or any of that ridiculous stuff…we had that same hard rain here in SC and even with the gullywasher, the garden loved it. Thanks for the inspo, Biscuit Song Guy 😁
I'm learning a lot from you. Mostly, how to trust Nature and let her do her thing without bossing her around all the time. It's a process and I'll admit that the learning curve is pretty steep, since I'm old and set in my ways. But, I'm trying to remember to stop and ask, What would DtG do? before jumping in to "fix" a problem, or at least something I perceive as one. Your garden looks beautiful. Looking forward to seeing how it grows this Summer. ~ Lisa P.S. I want a hat just like yours.
No worries either way David. Glad to have been able to give you something for all the inspiration you generate. Would be cool of you though lol. You're awesome!
Danny from "Deep South Homestead" yt channel, had a video last week, and he showed how he cut the ferny foliage off the asparagus (he said a friend told him to do this, for the spears to start growing)... and after he did that... he showed indeed the asparagus tips started coming through the soil in his High Tunnel greenhouse bed. And I just looked it up online, and it does say "Asparagus foliage allowed to remain in the garden over winter should be removed in late March or early April before spears start to emerge". I absolutely love this type/style of garden rows/beds, with the variety of fruiting trees and bushes, and everything else in between. Just a wonderful food forest in your own backyard! God bless the work of your hands with an abundant harvest!! 👍😊♥️👼🙏🐑🪔👑💖
I'm in the Caribbean we are dry as sticks! Serious drought conditions. Dry and windy. Only thing saving me is water saved in tank and barrels. Watering in the early evening and morning. Cover the base with straw and leaves. People are praying for rain here.
My Moringa came back this year too! Coastal Mississippi. South of 10. I heavily mulched it and hoped for the best. Well to my delight 4 out of 5 sprouted from the root zone. And my yams are also coming up. They are on the first year. I ordered and planted them in the fall. I am so excited for this year.
@@melanieallen3655 it is a sub tropical / tropical tree. I live in zone 9, and it is hit or miss if it will survive the winter. It is a super food with lots of vitamins and minerals.
@@melanieallen3655 I think you might be able to grow it, depending on how close to the coast you are. It looks like Sydney’s coldest temps get to about 0° C. That should allow it to do ok, I think. In fact you would likely be able to grow almost all of what David the Good grows. 👍 Best of luck ans happy gardening. 🙏
Just caught the end of the live. Going to watch from the beginning now. Keep up the great work and you will be on your way to "David the great" all the best man.
After watching this video before work this am, the song at the end has been repeating in my brain. It's very catchy! 🤣🤣🤣 Thanks for the tour David! Here's to a great growing season for all!
I planted yams for the 1st time ever this year because of your videos! Sooo happy! Thankyou! Cheers from Australia!😁I love your style of planting! I do the same!Sooo many potatoes! How exciting!great idea to grow your own hay or straw!
Got two seedling Apricots I plan to plant this week. A lot of my greens are chewed up like your, trying to harvest what is still decent looking to can and have some fresh. Excited that I finally planted the Tithonia Diversifolia that I bought from Daisy's Etsy store. They had grown out of the pots and rooted in the ground in the last few weeks. Sugar snap and telephone peas are producing like crazy and I probably accidentally started land race peas. So much to do and the weather has been nice so far. Those blueberries look great but let me tell you, if you haven't tried pink lemonade you are missing out.
I grow comfrey officinalis(the seeded kind). I found they do best in well drained 7-7.5 pH soil with only morning sun. My best stand ever was on the N-N/E side of a building beside a crushed limestone driveway.
Oh wow! Now you are using the wood chip pathways. When I asked about that before, you told me you preferred the wheel hoe. I love the wood chips. It looks nicer and it makes such great compost below that I can use later in about 2 yrs and then redo the paths with fresh wood chips.
I was watching for your yacon harvest. I pulled one of mine after first frost and the storage tubers were half the size of what I was getting from my supplier. When I got back to harvest more the voles had eaten all the storage roots but not the corms.
Coastal maine, cold/wet zone 5... Just planted fruit trees yesterday. Apple, asian pear, plum, peach and apricot. I'm planning on pole beans and maybe work on a squash landrace while the trees are getting up. There are wild low blueberries in the clearing as well. I'll probably add more berries, Hascap/honey berries are my new favorite! I'll keep you posted on progress. Always enjoy the videos! Thankyou
Your yam is twice as tall as mine, mine poked its head up and is now having a good think about it. Past few days have been overcast, humid and windy here.
Thanks for the update. I'm rooting sweet potato sprouts, and was amazed on the show up of a nasty potato in all its green wonder! It got me off my laurels to get a little more serious. I know I use root veggies and greens, tomatoes and squash, so trying to get out of analysis paralysis! Thanks!
Well we got a tiller and we’re tilling and double digging the new earth beds because of you. We have existing beds that are doing great but instead of doing our usual cardboard and compost and yada yada, you get it, we’re putting in some grocery rows and actually tilling just for the jump start. We found out absolutely no one in our very large families are preparing at all for the coming shortages so we’re doubling our productivity as quickly as possible. Bet your 🍑 I’m making them help though 💁🏻♀️
David, I agree with you about comfrey! It struggles here in Georgia summers too. I can't get it to grow all over. It looks great in the spring but once summer hits they do poorly and sometimes die. I have been testing them out and planting them under a couple asparagus patches. They seem to do much better through the summer.
Plant some honey berry early bloomers. The bumble bees come to mine daily. They are early blooming and help other plants by drawing in the bumble bees.
I have some north TN clay, just starting to put in the framework of bare root and small trees. Will take a couple years to fill out. In the meantime I’m working a rented postage stamp of “CA concrete” and turning it into extremely densely planted beds, which is the only appropriate solution given the size. Get to work both ends of the range.
I'm growing some rutabagas to make seed. I actually pulled a few to thin out and had it for super last night. Was awsome with some fried Pollards corn meal cornbread and homemade tabascus sauce...
It looks great! Spring is here, also!! I mentioned you and grocery row gardening in my video today. It will hopefully be up tomorrow. I’m looking forward to starting mine. 🌱
What are you gonna do with all the potatoes? Or are you like me... the deer get some, rabbits get some, bugs get some, blight get some, and then you get the rest? Do you sell produce from your garden? I ordered the grocery row garden book. S'posed to be here tomorrow. I'm already exploring all the impossible possibilities. I live about 40 miles north of Atlanta. I started some of that Dave's fetid swamp water tea stuff. Smells good to me. 'Course, I'm a plumber. God bless you, your smiling wife, and all your children, neighbors and friends! Lord knows, you deserve blessing.
I totally understand that. I’m thinking of using some oak trees on my property right not to be living fence posts and as trellises. So it was the first thing that came to my mind. I read a book “the nature of oaks” by Douglas Tallamy and was interested in all the beneficial insects that come from oak trees. The gardens look great Dave! Excited for this growing season
Try my way of mulching when you´re in need of biomass: Cut fresh tree growth, then give it a rough chopping and then spread in the poath ways. it works very well and you seem to plenty of wild trees around your field. You may need a ladder ;)
The song “No Diggity” has been stuck in my head… I give it to you lol. I’d love to see a collab of all the gardeners/farmers/homesteaders in a remake of this song, but if any one family can pull it off, it’s yours!
I have some holes my husband dug with the big rented machine that are supposed to be for nut and fruit trees. Still don't have any in, so I want to plant an annual crop to help the ground and possibly also get some food. What do you suggest? I am in north central Texas with almost zero water infiltration. I have added good stuff in the holes, so I'm hoping the plants will survive.
@DtG. Sudangrass grows quickly and could be crimped over once it's a foot tall and would die and mulch in place possibly in your walkway. Not an N fixer though.
Between rain, birds, and ants I gave up on trying to grow strawberries. My stepdad grew some in the greenhouse in some hanging pots that did well but they were very protected. Also, let me know how the wood mulch goes in the beds. I got a few truck loads of mulch and used them one year and it worked really well for the first year but then the following years the giant carpenter ants moved in and it became a huge nuisance.
Nice hat. 😀. Hey, I'm in Texas here and I d love to know how you store things like potatoes and onions... With no root cellar, or basement, how do you keep them????
David, I just finished your book and was wondering if those rows are 4ft wide. I noticed you like 3ft paths and are considering 4ft paths as you stated in your book. Those rows in the video look like 2ft. I know you're continually evolving and just moved to Alabama as well and so not everything in your videos will reflect the concepts in your book. I wonder if you might have some videos or photos of subscribers grocery row garden according to the concepts in your book. I, much like you, have been moving constantly and gardening wherever I can on the property I rented. I just bought my first house on .4 acres and I am currently in the planning stages and phases right now and looking to turn my (dead soil aka dirt) suburban backyard into a beautiful edible landscape. I have a vision of what it might look like with fruit trees, berry bushes, herbs, vegetables, etc All integrated within the grocery row gardening concept you outline in your book. I just wanted to check in and see if you happen to have any kind of visual references. I'm also really considering starting my own channel documenting this and helping others realize how they too can transform their suburban backyards into beautiful productive landscapes. Perhaps even a landscape maintenance and gardening business will grow from this as well. Are there any other ways that you have to stay in contact with you?
Any ideas on planting in a swampy, full sun area? Most of it has standing water year round. We are zone 8b, right on the line between 8b and 9a. I’m loving your videos, I feel like I’m learning so much! Also are there any livestock that can be raised in a wet pasture?
Have you grown the silver berry before. There was two at my last job. Never saw any berries or smelled the flowers. They're supposed to be very fragrant.
Just want you to know that you got my 14 yr old daughter, who never wants to do anything, interested in gardening. I was watching one of your videos on the tv and I just knew she would think you were 'lame' or not get your jokes at all, cuz ya know, 14. Nope. She loves you.

Say "hi" to her for me!
That’s awesome 🤘🏻
I wish someone had explained it to me at that age! What a great opportunity :)
What a delightful review ❤️ I didn't even know there were audiobooks. Going to try that.
That sounds like way too much fun, you've done a good job getting your kids involved! I would love to be around when the kids scream murderer. that's so funny.
I finished reading Compost Everything over the weekend and charred my first batch of biochar yesterday. I'm learning so much from your videos and books. Thank you!
Right there with you I threw a bunch of acorn squash seeds In a section of my yard couple weeks back and now it's looking crazy but good.
That "I don't care" method is working out nice for me. At first I wanted everything in straight lines, partitioned out, neat and tidy etc. Now I'm far more relaxed. My wife will ask what one of ours raised beds is, and I'm just like "Peas. Arugula. I don't know. Both maybe." I let stuff go to seed and come back again. Drives her insane, but it works for me.
Out of the 22 apple seeds I sprouted in the fridge over winter, 19 of them have come up. 1 has a red lining round its leaves.
I’ve got my grocery rows going on some plums and peaches I put in a few years ago and have added mulberry, apple, hazelnut and some raspberry. Adding the annuals to them is the fun part.

Thank you David, I enjoy every visit to your property.

Looks great! I love seeing what has burst up out of the ground!
I love the raw videos, less produced allows my brain to better see the size and layout for some reason.

Missed the Goodstream David, but here MARVELING your Good Garden! Thanks for sharing, and wishing the Good Family a great mid-week!
Thanks David for the inspiration. On my tractor taking a break getting another sweet potato patch ready to plant 👨🌾...

Glad to see everything waking up. I just picked some wild garlics from the job site and got it put in a pot hoping they make it to plant in the garden
You videos are always so inspiring David!!
We planted potatoes using the alfalfa pellet idea you showed and are super excited that they are going like gangbusters!!
Mine look better this year with the alfalfa than they did last year with fertilizer.
This gave me a chuckle cuz with the mulch now its like my version of the rows. Eden Rows, or Back to Groceries I call it
You should get a wood chipper, it’s on my wish list, making mulch by hand is time consuming, 😂
Why don't you see how well some comfrey might grow in the shade? Mine is doing fine so far in the understory in East Texas.
I grow comfrey officinalis(the seeded kind). I found they do best in well drained 7-7.5 pH soil with only morning sun. My best stand ever was on the N-N/E side of a building beside a crushed limestone driveway.

Apples next to Canna. Pomegranate next to potatoes. Crazy combos. You had a mild winter.
That wood-chipped grocery row garden looks like my whole backyard now 👍
Looking Good!
Nice you got rain.
I'm still waiting...
I saw that new video!
I LIKE it!
Another Good one!!
Looking good Goodman Family! Inspiring!
My grandpa used to use the corn stalks as trellis for beans. Just an idea

Wow, so much green! Love those peaches.
I have some north TN clay, just starting to put in the framework of bare root and small trees. Will take a couple years to fill out. In the meantime I’m working a rented postage stamp of “CA concrete” and turning it into extremely densely planted beds, which is the only appropriate solution given the size. Get to work both ends of the range.
I'm growing some rutabagas to make seed. I actually pulled a few to thin out and had it for super last night. Was awsome with some fried Pollards corn meal cornbread and homemade tabascus sauce...

Dave have you thought of putting your chickens behind your cows to help with pest control in your kitchen gardens? Their manure is rich as well.
thank you so for that God bless
Gardens are looking great! Good work brother!
Nice welding table
Looking awesome
Doin’ it in Maine. 03908 baby!
Very nice David ✨✨👌
Looks great! Exciting!
Hey David, you may be able to keep the Chestnut Oak as a trellis like you did back in Florida with the sweet gum. A chop an drop trellis.
I sure could, though it's not the most efficient use of space.
I totally understand that. I’m thinking of using some oak trees on my property right not to be living fence posts and as trellises. So it was the first thing that came to my mind. I read a book “the nature of oaks” by Douglas Tallamy and was interested in all the beneficial insects that come from oak trees. The gardens look great Dave! Excited for this growing season
Thanks
Thanks for the tour. Hey everybody, check out the full version of the song at the end on his music channel. "I Try To Keep A Smile On My Face"
Try my way of mulching when you´re in need of biomass: Cut fresh tree growth, then give it a rough chopping and then spread in the poath ways. it works very well and you seem to plenty of wild trees around your field. You may need a ladder ;)
Sounds good.
The song “No Diggity” has been stuck in my head… I give it to you lol. I’d love to see a collab of all the gardeners/farmers/homesteaders in a remake of this song, but if any one family can pull it off, it’s yours!
David I have just finished your book turned Earth yesterday, it's hilarious.
Bless you!
chestnut oak, immediately laughed and clicked like , its exactly something that i would do
Thank you so much for all of your inspirational videos. Can you please tell me how you get rid of those pesky ants in the garden. Thank you
Amdro bait - it's not that toxic, and everything else doesn't seem to mind. We use it in moderation.
The rain keeps missing us here. Haven't had any in over a month.
We need a puppy, goats, chickens, cows update at some point.
I have some holes my husband dug with the big rented machine that are supposed to be for nut and fruit trees. Still don't have any in, so I want to plant an annual crop to help the ground and possibly also get some food. What do you suggest? I am in north central Texas with almost zero water infiltration. I have added good stuff in the holes, so I'm hoping the plants will survive.
Have you ever tried Zai holes?
@DtG. Sudangrass grows quickly and could be crimped over once it's a foot tall and would die and mulch in place possibly in your walkway. Not an N fixer though.
It's possible - it's pretty coarse to walk on
I'm getting 50° tonite. Central Florida . How are you growing tomatoes? 50° is gonna stunt my summer squash.
Brazilian Cucumber 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I remember that episode
Between rain, birds, and ants I gave up on trying to grow strawberries. My stepdad grew some in the greenhouse in some hanging pots that did well but they were very protected. Also, let me know how the wood mulch goes in the beds. I got a few truck loads of mulch and used them one year and it worked really well for the first year but then the following years the giant carpenter ants moved in and it became a huge nuisance.
Get some diamatious earth and sprinkle it on and around your strawberry bed. If they're not imported fire ants it will run them away...
what zone are u in now
I know he's in lower Alabama.
need a push mower my friend!
You can use a rotary Push mower. I saw one a Home Depot.
Those are cool.
Yes and a little pricey.
hey David! I'm doing your chaos idea in my herbal/ medicinal garden. mixed a couple herbal, medicinal and flower seeds together. Awaiting the results
Good work.
🎶“The Yams are coming up “🎶
Nice hat. 😀. Hey, I'm in Texas here and I d love to know how you store things like potatoes and onions... With no root cellar, or basement, how do you keep them????
I second this - from Dallas..
I keep them in boxes and baskets in the pantry after they dry out a bit on the porch.
@@davidthegood hmmm . I hope our house will be cool enough to do that. And I'll need a bigger pantry!!! Lol ..
I had a peach tree die back also....that root stock sent up a tree with approx 75 tiny peaches!
Okay now I'm curious lol. I thought grass was the enemy even in between the rows. When and where do I remove the grass?
David, I just finished your book and was wondering if those rows are 4ft wide. I noticed you like 3ft paths and are considering 4ft paths as you stated in your book. Those rows in the video look like 2ft. I know you're continually evolving and just moved to Alabama as well and so not everything in your videos will reflect the concepts in your book. I wonder if you might have some videos or photos of subscribers grocery row garden according to the concepts in your book.
I, much like you, have been moving constantly and gardening wherever I can on the property I rented. I just bought my first house on .4 acres and I am currently in the planning stages and phases right now and looking to turn my (dead soil aka dirt) suburban backyard into a beautiful edible landscape.
I have a vision of what it might look like with fruit trees, berry bushes, herbs, vegetables, etc All integrated within the grocery row gardening concept you outline in your book. I just wanted to check in and see if you happen to have any kind of visual references.
I'm also really considering starting my own channel documenting this and helping others realize how they too can transform their suburban backyards into beautiful productive landscapes. Perhaps even a landscape maintenance and gardening business will grow from this as well.
Are there any other ways that you have to stay in contact with you?
My strawberries have been struggling lately. Leaves are spotting, fruits are small, or not developed. 😭
(Zone 9, Volusia county FL)
And so you don’t have to water that grocery row garden? It’s not to crowded?
Almost never.

David The Good will need to buy a few bee hives
Any ideas on planting in a swampy, full sun area? Most of it has standing water year round. We are zone 8b, right on the line between 8b and 9a. I’m loving your videos, I feel like I’m learning so much! Also are there any livestock that can be raised in a wet pasture?
Try growing taro.
@@davidthegood Thank you!!
Have you grown the silver berry before. There was two at my last job. Never saw any berries or smelled the flowers. They're supposed to be very fragrant.
No - never tried before.
My comfrey is planted in partial shade is yours full sun?
