so glad i found your channel again!! i saw your old pond videos and have been thinking about it ever since and searching for them, FINALLY you came across my feed again. subscribed!! wont let that happen again!!
I wonder if the grapes are creating a symbiotic relationship with the Seabuckthorn which has thorns? Because my dad just discovered the grapes went all the way up his bamboo which has thorns… the grape vine is THRIVING just like yours! Salutations friends! Everything is looking FABULOUS!! We’re always so appreciative of your inspiration. You were the one that got us into permaculture back in 2020!
Great video. Such abundance. I grow pawpaws in large pots and even these pawpaws have suckers, which I remove. If the plant is grafted the sucker is not that variety but has the genetics of the root stock. These suckers can detract from the vigor of the grafted plant. They are in competition with the graft for nutrients which cause reduced flowering and fruiting. Eventually the suckers will overtake the graft. If you want to remove the suckers and replant them, sever the connection between the plant and the sucker now so that the sucker will begin to live on its own and develop a good root system. In the late winter/early spring dig up the sucker and replant. Because pawpaws have deep tap roots, the younger the plant the more successful the transplant. Before you do all this you might want to contact the nursery you bought them from to find out what root stock they use. Good root stock doesn’t necessarily produce good fruit.
The taste is out of this world. My wife bought some peaches from Walmart in May this year and we couldn't believe that's what most people think a peach tastes like lol 😆 😅 😂
Hi, for sea buckthorn varieties I can recommend Ukrainian varieties ( as well as for relatively cold-hardy persimons). I have 3 varieties in my garten - and pretty much like them. It's very typical plant for Ukraine, and is cultivated by professional growers for decades. So they have figured out nice big berry varieties with good flavour... You totally destroyed my love for blackberries 🤣🤣🤣
Love the example of how abundant things get after a few years. I am on my 3rd growing season here. Good amount of raspberries, my thornless blackberry is loaded and just starting to ripen, should get some peaches and nectarines as long as the weather doesn't knock them down this weekend (ernesto might be hitting the maritimes). So many strawberries and currents, 1st year for asparagus. Should even get a handful of apples and elderberries this year.
BIG TIP FOR BLACKBERRYS THEY ACTUALLY GET MUCH SWEETER IF YOU LEAVE THEM ON THE BUSH FOR A BIT LONGER AFTER THEY HAVE FULLY TURNED BLACK! You want to wait till they fall off with a very gentle tug. whoops caps lock
Another great video. Thank you so much. Your video are an inspiration. My food forest is only in its second summer. I had started where I last lived, but had to move due to one of those life curveballs . 😂 So, fruit trees aren’t really producing yet, but my berries are going to town. I have the Primark thornless blackberries, and I love those things! Lots of strawberries as well. Annual veggie beds going full bore. I live in town, with a fairly large .4 acre lot, which I am converting from lawn to food forest. It is so joyful to walk outside, see how much progress I have made in less than two years, and harvest an abundance of food. I am in zone 7a in Eastern Washington State. Hot, hot summers, and cold winters. (Not as cold as yours though. 🙂) Thank you again for sharing your knowledge. Happy harvesting.
Whaaat? RUclips unsubscribed me from your channel! Pure luck your video popped up. Though I do feel like unsubscribing from your channel and others when I i see all the lush growth and greenery. We've had another BRUTAL summer, regularly hitting 40°C and ZERO rain since the end of June, the garden is basically dead, scorched brown, I've lost a number of important trees i had hopes for. The only thing really flourishing is figs, we have those coming out of our ears, so that's some small blessing. I am increasingly realising we are cooked, i can't apply what you are doing here, or Sean, or the other temperate guys, much as I love what you're doing and have learned a lot from you. Evidently I need to start learning more from desert-based projects (happy to hear any suggestions - Geoff Lawton's Greening the Desert project is one but he doesn't post very often)... :(
Where are you in Canada? What elevation? I’m in zone 5B here in Fort Collins (5000 ft elevation), Northern Colorado, and we have a heckuva time growing peaches and apricots due to the late frosts and the extreme weather patterns and temp changes. I have to figure out somewhere else to put my blackberries because they’re getting scalded by the heat. And there seems to be a bug and a critter for every kind of fruit. My black currants are the most reliable small fruit. My best tree fruits are my Stanley plum and Stella Cherry. I have always wanted to grow a paw paw tree but now I have no more space, and, anyway, I think they need a lot more moisture than we have. That’s why I’m asking where you are in Canada. I am on a small neighborhood plot and I don’t have the acreage you have so maybe part of the reason you do so well is because you have such a variety.
Based on what I’ve seen in past videos I believe he’s NE of Toronto by a ways a little bit inland from Lake Huron. Obviously don’t know specifics though
Are you talking about poke sallet from the plant pokeweed? I haven't tried it, and it doesn't grow around me, and there's no chance that I would introduce it in an area it's not already problematic in. I'm all for eating invasives though. And for anyone reading this, although poke (pokeweed leaves boiled, drained, boiled drained, 3x) is considered edible by some, there are many cases of pokeweed poisoning, so I would advise caution, and in moderation.
What is the name of the variety that Richters sells? Just out of curiosity. I have a thornless variety that was given to me so I have no idea of its name. Great fuit.
When you freeze your cobblers, do you freeze them in a pan or have you figured out a way to take them out before they go in the freezer? I'm thinking of making a ton of blackberry buckle and freezing, but I've never frozen prepared desserts before (having a baby is making me understand why people want easy things in the freeze!)
One Green World, in the US, has Sea berries and Haskaps (honeyberry). It seems hard to find permaculture plants in the states. I live in lower Michigan, where we have some Paw Paw nurseries, but I am having issues finding Comfrey 😮
As mentioned, One Green World is probably one of the larger, more well known permaculture nurseries in the US. They have a huge selection of different species, with multiple cultivars offered. They do tend to sell out pretty quickly each season, so usually best to get on their mailing list so you can be notified when they open their Spring and Fall offerings. That said, I’ve always suggested to others that it is preferable if you can find nurseries in your own local bio-region or growing zone, as those plants will be far more adapted to your climate than plants from other areas of the country. Even if a tree/fruit shrub/plant has a recognized cold hardiness of Zone 4, for example, if it has spent it’s first 2-3 years of growth in a mild Zone 8b region (which is what OGW is in near Portland, OR), those plants can still suffer quite a bit of shock when transplanted to a much colder Zone 4/5 region. And beyond even the hardiness zone, plants grown in your own bio-region will be far more adapted to local pest and disease pressures, as well as soil conditions and microbiomes, which will all make for generally healthier plants that have higher chances of survival and earlier production. For Tanya, I would recommend searching online for permaculture nurseries located in the Great Lakes/Upper Midwest bio-region as your first option. If you are on FB, you could also join a Minnesota or Midwest Permaculture group and ask if other members have recommendations of where they have found their trees and plants, and you might even find members who don’t have any formal nursery business, but have their own personal propagation operations and would be willing to sell you some of their stock. I am aware of at least two good options to start with… www.blueforestplants.wordpress.com is a small permaculture nursery located near Duluth that typically has a decent selection of bare root plants available each Spring. He also has a permaculture YT channel by the same name. www.chiefrivernursery.com is a larger-scale nursery in Wisconsin that has really good bulk prices for 1-3 year old seedlings of many different varieties of trees and shrubs, both edible and non-edible options. I purchased 20 Nanking cherry seedlings from them this past Spring and was very pleased with the health and quality of those and they have been doing very well in their first year in my food forest. And two final options, which while not technically in the Upper Midwest region, might be good options to consider because they are still coming from a Zone 5 hardiness area (upper New York) are… www.edibleacres.org Sean has Spring and Fall offerings of bare root trees/plants and seeds each year, but again his stuff usually sells out very quickly, so best to get on their mailing list or YT channel as he always offers a few days notice of when they will be opening their ordering period. www.twisted-tree.net Similar offerings and operation to Edible Acres in that Akiva sells out of his stock quickly and only has temporary ordering windows each Spring and Fall. Hope those give you a decent place to start your search.
Cedar waxwings discovered I have haskap and Saskatoon berries. Last year, we harvested about 12 liters or berries. This year; zero. I don’t mind sharing, but they could’ve left me at least a few… 😢
The blackberry shrubs brought memories of going into the bush with my father to pick them. I'm the only one of my siblings that was okay with the long thorns. Special moments that I alone shared with my father. It's been 10 years since he passed away. 🥲 There was never a problem with fruit flies in the wild one.

Growing grapes in male polinator plants to increase production is brilliant - i am on awe 😮
Thanks! It's one of those things that is just such common sense that I'm surprised that I haven't heard of it more.
CHUSKAYA SIBERIAN SEABERRY (Hippophae rhamnoides) is the sea buckthorn he was talking about.
so glad i found your channel again!! i saw your old pond videos and have been thinking about it ever since and searching for them, FINALLY you came across my feed again. subscribed!! wont let that happen again!!
Always a pleasure. Have to get a paw paw tree. Need to find a dwarf variety. Thx for sharing.
If you find a self fertiliesing dwarf tree tell me. I would like to have one but no space for another tree 🙈
Awesome Keith! Glad you are getting good harvests this year!

Your peaches are incredible!!! We planted 3 peach trees (Reliance and Contender) this year - I'm looking forward to future harvests!

Fruiting trees and bushes are the easiest way to grow food. Seeing your garden has made me happy.

The trick is getting them at that point but not a moment after, because just after (like 1 day) that's when the fruit fly larvae shows up in them.
Can you do a taste test of the Kiwi Berry?
For sure. Still another month or so
