I love what you do to your yard
I have some fruit trees in my back yard with your inspiration I plant more to my yard

[growlyfe]

Wow! You are harvesting such a diverse number of plants

[agrotta]

My scaredy budgie actually walked onto my phone when I clicked on your video😁 She stayed there and pecked at your plants and tried to eat your hazelnuts!

[victorhooper]

Loving your passion and encouragement and can't wait to get planting

It would be very cool to see the garden from above. Stand on the roof of borrow a drone from someone hehe. Thanks! Have a nice day!

dry your grapes to make raisins. sun dry your tomatoes and store in olive oil--its been done that way for thousands of years. try some horseradish, , cabbage for sauerkraut. Pinto beans, white beans, Love the flowers you have too!

James, there is no reason for the world to go hungry! Like Geoff Lawton says, you can solve all the world's problems in a garden.

Looks Fantastic. Everyone should do this.

You could try growing mulberries. The climate you live in looks like it could be really well suited to thrive

[marendomke]

I would add blueberries or billberries (more shade tolerant) :)
I love what you have done! My little backyard food forest is one year old and already growing great food. Here in NZ spring is coming and I can't wait for it all to explode into growth. Thank you for sharing.

[ajourneysustainable]

Would like to see you grow some onions and garlic!

[Thewovengrove]

It would be Great to see a video on your hazelnut harvest and the type of hazelnuts you have.

[rustedoakhomestead]

Great stuff like always. For the persimmon, David the Good did a video recently about the reasons for their fruit drop. Give it a look! Take care brother

[VaughnMalecki]

Volunteer black cherry tomatoes.
I got a bunch of those too! 😀

[surealreality]

Great harvest. Perhaps you can try some mushrooms in the future

Thank you for sharing, we’ve got a big bird problem in our young food forest so I’m attempting to net a lot. Any tricks or tips? Our property backs direct onto a large forest so our property seems to be prime pickings for them. We added some forest floor mix from the Bush and I swear our trees have all improved! Loving your bountiful garden! So jealous... ps. I wish my hubby let me get rid of our lawn 🤪 ... might convince him one day, although it is shrinking haha. We’re in a zone 9b in New Zealand so get a wet winter, light frosts down to -3c early in the morning, and warmer 19c to 29c in summer, or wettest month is October... any plant recommendations? If you get frosts how have you created microclimates for more sensitive plants? Do you break the rules and get fruit from plants that should grow in full sun but actually do well under certain trees? Hopefully you’re not to busy to answer. Again I love your channel!
