I wish you were my neighbor. I would never go hungry. While you sleep, I'd do my midnight shopping 😂 Just starting to get into gardening. Your videos are a HUGE help.. loving all your videos!
Hey Kyle I love your channel so much. I bought my first home recently and I only have a tiny backyard but I’m currently growing over 20 fruit trees in containers. It’s my favourite thing to do in the world. I’m buying a white sapote tomorrow. I got my first black sapote a couple of days ago. Thank you for your great channel x
@@urbanfarmstead I’ve just finally bought a bigger property so I’m going to put my many fruit trees that are in pots, into the ground. Do you have an email address that I can send you a picture of my black sapote? You’ve taught this Aussie girl everything I know about pruning and taking care of fruit trees. I can’t thank you enough.
@L3-mtDNA I grow a huge amount of fruit trees but all in pots. Black sapote, white sapote, lemonade tree, carambola, Panama berry, peachcot, strawberry guava, pineapple guava, Brazilian guava, Chilean guava, Hawaiian guava, yellow cherry guava, dwarf loquat, passion fruit, various orange, lemon and Mandarin, purple mangosteen, jujube sherwood, grumichama, pitanga, mango Glenn, mango Palmer, achacha, lychee, kumquat meiwa, babaco, various grapes. Probably more I can't think of lol. Where in Australia are got moving to? We should stay in touch!
Hi Kyle, Have enjoyed watching many of your videos. And since spring is complete no. Lime to see how and when you will be trimming your fruit trees. Thanks!!!!
I think I've convinced my partner to let me do tomatoes on trellises like yours next season. We have a bed dedicated to several varieties of tomatoes, and the cages we used (which are admittedly cheap ones) were completely broken down by the tomato plants. They snapped the metal in several places on a lot of them, leaving us with fallen plants. They're still producing, and we have a buttload of tomato sauce and salsa we've processed, but it's made harvesting quite difficult without damaging the plants. Your videos have given me so much useful info as an amateur gardener. Very appreciative of the effort you put into your content. It's been fun to see the production value go up here this past year. Stay safe!
Blueberries are extremely thirsty in the heat, so you might consider painted terra cotta to conserve moisture. And that vaccinium ovatum huckleberry will require full shade from 2pm on in the summer or dappled shade all day long.
I can't help but look forward to your videos. In today's video, I found out what jujube is. In Japan, it is called Natsume. A big one will be the size of your fist. It's so delicious, I love it too. Garden management, new seedlings, and trellis are also wonderful. I just ordered the white sapote and papaya too! I also bought jackfruit seedlings! I will challenge them from this summer! I am looking forward to your garden.
I am growing the queen of malinalco tomatillo this summer, based on your recommendation! Just got my first lantern yesterday; can't wait to try them! The seeds were from Bakers Creek.
I am so excited I found you! I love gardening videos but feel like hardly any I can get full value from because they are from other places in the US finally another in Sacramento!!! And thank you for fighting the fires that plague our state
I found some organic tomatillos online, the variety you mentioned. Super excited to grow them next season. Also, in a world full of beards, be a stache! 👨🏻👍🏻
Thanks! I did actually eat one of them and it was delicious! But then unfortunately a squirrel or other animal are the others before I could do a tasting video
Awesome video Kyle! Loved seeing your trop/sub trop plant stash! Such fun and interesting stuff. I'm also in Sacto, so a huge thanks for teaching us about all these lesser known (to me anyway) fruit possibilities AND for keeping us safe during wildfire season & throughout the year. Excited for the upcoming garden infrastructure vids!
Your garden always looks in great shape even when you’re gone for weeks at a time. Do you ever have problems with insects attacking your crops? Do you do anything to keep them away? If so could you do a video on what you do to keep your garden from getting destroyed by pest?
Thank you! I do get a few insects, but I don’t do specific things, just the general stuff like habitat for beneficials, keeping healthy plants, and crop rotation.
Such a fun tour! Thanks for sharing a garden update. We purchased the New Girl tomatoes, Queen of Malinalco tomatillos, and Centercut squash from you and they are all thriving. THANK YOU! Your channel continues to be our go to for gardening inspiration and information. Stay cool this weekend! Also, dinners in a garden with chef friends sounds amazing!
Hey Kyle. Thanks for the video! I live in your area and will be looking forward to next year's plant sale! I saw you posted on Facebook, so I'll check there in late winter and see if I can catch it. And, again, thank you for being a firefighter. We really appreciate the education and safety you provide all of us here in CA. Take care!
Wow! I love all the future projects. You have given me great ideas for my own backyard garden. Keep up the amazing work; I am learning so much from you. Thank you for the update and for your service (fighting fires). God bless!
I thought I was unique in my obsession with finding new fruit until I started watching this channel lol Kyle, you should try mamoncillo (Spanish lime), the purple cainito and sapodilla. God my mouth is watering just thinking about it. Haven't had any of these since I was a kid growing up in the tropics.
Yay...after pruning videos, finally I found your video with some fruits on them :) With the moustache you look like a different person. Thanks again for sharing the video :)
So good to see that Sapote! My huge tree I sent you a video of has been pruned but I can see lots of new blossom - just early spring here in NZ - looking forward to fruiting in May
Kyle your garden looks beautiful and healthy. Admire all your variety and willingness to try and plant anything. Love your Jack fig. I purchase Texas Everbearing fig, first fruit May/June and again in August really excited for this variety. Along with a Brown Turkey Fig. Replanted in larger nursery pots due to our server Texas drought and water restrictions. We are finally having rain and will plant in the ground this winter. Thanks for all your encouragement and knowledge. Really appreciate your videos. Zone 8B, North Texas DFW Hotter (than you know where) dry and dusty. Today it rained. Yippee. But not enough.
I subscribed years ago when I lived on the east coast; I didn't realize you were in Sac! We moved to a house in Folsom this past summer and I am happy to have rediscovered your channel. It is helpful to have some varieties to look for that I know will thrive in this climate-- it's quite different from where I had been gardening. Thank you!!
Hey Kyle, my hubby and I love your channel. Especially as we're nearby in old Roseville. We just bought last spring and are working on the large backyard field. Hubby can't wait to try your tomato trellis and I can't wait for our new fruit trees to produce and to try your fig and tomatillo varieties. Let us all know when your plan sale is; we'll definitely stop by!
The tomatillos are still available on Baker Creek! I notice they sometimes pull varieties for short periods, but they usually bring them back, it might just miss a year or season.
Love this video and thank you for giving all the variety names of all the plants! That is so helpful. There may be different ways to pronounce jabuticaba, here’s my attempt at spelling phonetically the Brazilian pronunciation; Juh-boo-chi-ka-buh.
I'm in Christchurch, New Zealand, and also grow Early Girl as the only reliable tomato as our summers are really variable and not always long or hot enough for many other varieties to do well without a greenhouse.
Newer to fruit trees and bushes so thank you for this in depth video series. It was super helpful for my planning and care taking off a new orchard when we get on to our new homestead property.
Hi Kyle, new subscriber here. Just found your channel. I live in Vacaville so not to far from you and am working on building a garden and plan to put in a bunch of fruit trees. Finding your videos very helpful.
Brazilian here. I hope you get to try a jaboticaba, it's delicious!😊 The jaboticabeira (jaboticaba tree) takes a long time to fruit, unless it's grafted, and it needs plenty of water. My grandparents used to run drip irrigation for long periods of time.
My horticulture mentor has a list of blueberries that do well in the Sacramento Valley, he’s based in Davis. Redwood Barn Nursery if you’re ever in the area.
@@urbanfarmstead It’s on his website. His website is sort of a Wikipedia type resource with a bunch of lists and articles and such. If what you see on there is too confusing you could always go into the nursery and ask him. The website shouldn’t be too confusing. I’ve spent many many hours on it and it’s pretty easy to navigate/search through.
I’m in sac and had a banana that produced for years. I took it out but still have one of its babies in a pot. I do have an avocado that’s doing great 😊.
I think it’s a bacon avocado- it’s maybe 7 years old and didn’t start producing much until last year. I moved it 6 years ago and it likes its new spot better. The banana might have been a cavendish banana. Both banana and avocado are against the house and somewhat sheltered or they might have struggled more with frost. The banana did struggle with frost some years, but it comes right back.
I just discovered your channel and have learned a lot. I added 4" x 8" boxes as part of my landscape last year. I'm in a 9b zone like you and look forward to how you grow no dig crops in boxes.
@@urbanfarmstead I really appreciate your videos about irrigation earlier. Having some trouble keeping things alive with drip system in Southern California. Can you share how much water/emitters per plant you use/timing, etc details as a reality check?
@@cordeliamartinez9958 I have one .6gph emitter every foot and run it for different times per plant. But I don’t talk much about irrigation schedules because the ideal schedule is different for every garden based on many factors like soil composition etc.
As a fellow norcal resident I would really appreciate hearing how you water your fruit trees and your nursery plants given the seemingly ever present water restrictions. I have raised vegetable beds on a drip system with really thick straw mulch to try and conserve water, but am hesitant to put in any fruiting trees due to concerns for water usage, especially while getting established in-ground. Any guidelines regarding how much water, how frequently, and what water delivery method your fruit trees need in our climate? Thanks and can’t wait to see your complete raised bed transformation.
What are your water restrictions? Here the only restrictions we ever have are twice a week irrigation for front yard sprinklers. So we don’t have restrictions on drip and even if we did, I only water once a week, so that wouldn’t be a problem. I’d be pretty surprised if any place here ever made restrictions to keep people from growing their own food.
@@urbanfarmstead thanks for responding. Our city also restricts water to twice a week but doesn’t specify edible landscaping is exempt. I have chosen to continue watering with my drip irrigation with more frequency as I have found with my raised beds I need more frequent but shorter duration for my location. Do you only water your fruit trees once a week and use drip irrigation? If yes what kind of flow rate and for what duration. Just trying to get a sense of how much more water I would use. Thank you
Love your channel. I already ordered 12 fruit trees (apples, pears and plums) and 3 European hazelnut trees. Want to grow them in pairs and summer prune for size control because they are all on vigorous rootstocks. I like the idea of smaller trees but with healthy good root system. I'll grow them more like food forest with white clover ground cover and a lot of herbs and flowers as understory between them. In spring I'll put even more berry bushes. I bought Ann Ralph's book and watched DWN videos, but yours about pruning are highly informative. Thanks.
Damn I'd like to hire you to help me set up my new lot! Only partly kidding! Amazing and I hope our fire season is a short one so you get to enjoy all of your amazing hard work
Always good to see your updates. Can you provide links to the other Central Valley channels you follow for info and the nurseries for your plants? Thanks. It seems that most of the material and info we get is from big box options that give products and info that I would expect in the Midwest with very different seasons and growing conditions.
Thanks Kyle gonna buy some new fig trees! Keep us updated on the blueberries, live in Clayton and wanted to know which variety handles the heat the best ✌️
I had 11 varieties of tomatoes. All the cherries did great but all the others stayed green before splitting. I’m in Sacramento as well. I’ve visited your last property too!
@@urbanfarmstead it is frustrating! Yes automatic drip irrigation 15 minutes every other day. The leaves and stalks were healthy, just not the tomato. I also fertilized every two to three weeks. I’m down to one tomato plant now, the indigo sun. Those are still producing a lot but slowing down.
@@lillypatience you could try watering less frequently for longer durations. I water my tomatoes once a week in summer for 60 minutes. Sometimes twice a week in a heatwave like now.
Dang Kyle that is one mean stache! haha Great video like always. Planted some Armenian cucumbers this year after one of your other garden tour videos and one plant did amazing. Still pulling off baseball sized cucumbers almost daily. I also followed your lead on a getting a Tiger Fig, however this year it's had really slow growth. I've given it a little fertilizer but still it hasn't leafed out much. I have put my hands in the soil and the roots feel big and there's a lot of them. Wondering if you've had this with any figs? Where they root out strong, but don't put on much growth their first year?
Thanks! That can happen with a lot of fruit trees the first year. Sounds like it’s putting most of its energy into rooting which is great, then next your it should put on lots of growth
White Sapote, so good. I know when you plant in ground that first year you will pull the fruit, so the plant can concentrate on rooting. So in the containers are you allowing the plants to fruit, because the rooting isn't important yet?
I was intrigued by your last year's video of the Queen of Malinalco Tomatillos. I did some research and managed to find some seed in Eastern Canada. I am Canadian 🇨🇦 and live in a zone 3 climate. The Tomatillos are fantastic and so delicious. I am currently harvesting, roasting, chopping and freezing for future Salsa. I was hoping you would share a recipe for salsa that you use these in? Much appreciation for your content!
Awesome! So glad you found them. I like using them to make enchilada sauce and I do a fresh salsa Amarillo with Quint Malinalco tomatillos yellow onion sweet yellow peppers corn garlic and cilantro I roast all the vegetables and mix it all together than a little bit of salt and lime juice it’s delicious!
Crazy sturdy raised beds! Should last a lifetime. Did you stop making videos? I was looking for your fruit tree pruning videos to continue. I have an apple and a pear tree.
You’re rocking that moustache 👍
Haha, thanks!
Didn’t realize how drastically a mustache can add to the character 😂😂😂
I wish you were my neighbor. I would never go hungry. While you sleep, I'd do my midnight shopping 😂

I'll grow them more like food forest with white clover ground cover and a lot of herbs and flowers as understory between them. In spring I'll put even more berry bushes.
I bought Ann Ralph's book and watched DWN videos, but yours about pruning are highly informative.
Thanks.
Damn I'd like to hire you to help me set up my new lot! Only partly kidding! Amazing and I hope our fire season is a short one so you get to enjoy all of your amazing hard work
Thanks! It’s been a relatively mild fire season so far this summer
Always good to see your updates. Can you provide links to the other Central Valley channels you follow for info and the nurseries for your plants? Thanks. It seems that most of the material and info we get is from big box options that give products and info that I would expect in the Midwest with very different seasons and growing conditions.
Thank you. Yes, I’ll work on adding that information here soon
Spartan and O'neal are two of my favorite cultivars of blue berries. If you can find a Patriot I highly recommend that one as well.
Had to order that Tiger striped fig with how delicious it looks. We can't grow raspberries here so that is a perfect compromise.
I would enjoy a video on how you keep-up your potted trees until ready for planting :-)
Thanks Kyle gonna buy some new fig trees! Keep us updated on the blueberries, live in Clayton and wanted to know which variety handles the heat the best ✌️
Thanks! Yes I’ll definitely be sharing the characteristics of each in future videos
😍😍😍😍
fruition seeds has queen of malinalco
Rad, thanks
I had 11 varieties of tomatoes. All the cherries did great but all the others stayed green before splitting. I’m in Sacramento as well. I’ve visited your last property too!
That sounds frustrating. Are the tomatoes on automatic irrigation, and what’s your irrigation schedule like for them?
@@urbanfarmstead it is frustrating! Yes automatic drip irrigation 15 minutes every other day. The leaves and stalks were healthy, just not the tomato. I also fertilized every two to three weeks. I’m down to one tomato plant now, the indigo sun. Those are still producing a lot but slowing down.
@@lillypatience you could try watering less frequently for longer durations. I water my tomatoes once a week in summer for 60 minutes. Sometimes twice a week in a heatwave like now.
Like garden
Thank you
Dang Kyle that is one mean stache! haha
Great video like always. Planted some Armenian cucumbers this year after one of your other garden tour videos and one plant did amazing. Still pulling off baseball sized cucumbers almost daily.
I also followed your lead on a getting a Tiger Fig, however this year it's had really slow growth. I've given it a little fertilizer but still it hasn't leafed out much. I have put my hands in the soil and the roots feel big and there's a lot of them. Wondering if you've had this with any figs? Where they root out strong, but don't put on much growth their first year?
Thanks! That can happen with a lot of fruit trees the first year. Sounds like it’s putting most of its energy into rooting which is great, then next your it should put on lots of growth
White Sapote, so good. I know when you plant in ground that first year you will pull the fruit, so the plant can concentrate on rooting. So in the containers are you allowing the plants to fruit, because the rooting isn't important yet?
Yes, in fact I do t want it to put too much energy into its roots while in the pot because it could become root bound
I was intrigued by your last year's video of the Queen of Malinalco Tomatillos. I did some research and managed to find some seed in Eastern Canada. I am Canadian 🇨🇦 and live in a zone 3 climate. The Tomatillos are fantastic and so delicious. I am currently harvesting, roasting, chopping and freezing for future Salsa. I was hoping you would share a recipe for salsa that you use these in? Much appreciation for your content!
Awesome! So glad you found them. I like using them to make enchilada sauce and I do a fresh salsa Amarillo with Quint Malinalco tomatillos yellow onion sweet yellow peppers corn garlic and cilantro I roast all the vegetables and mix it all together than a little bit of salt and lime juice it’s delicious!
@@urbanfarmstead thank you so much 💚
Awesome job Mate! Im Doing The Same In Melbourne and it has been a great experience with the rare heartbreak! But We keep going mate! Goodluck! :)
Crazy sturdy raised beds! Should last a lifetime.
Did you stop making videos? I was looking for your fruit tree pruning videos to continue. I have an apple and a pear tree.
My new fruit tree pruning video goes live in one hour! I show my apple and Asian pear pruning in addition to many others
it looks like you can get the Queen of Malinalco tomatillo seeds from Open Circle Seeds
Good to know! Thanks
Love your videos….thanks for all the ideas! Could you share where you found the bird netting for your blueberries?
Thank you! It’s included, on my Amazon page that’s linked in the video description, but let me know if you have any trouble finding it.
