No matter what the subject matter, your videos make me happy. Thank you.

Really glad your neighbor let you work their land. It's been fun to see your ideas scaled up into the farm-bed context. As expected, works fine :)

So wonderful to see Zelda growing in such a wonderful environment!

It always amazes me how simple and perfect a solution can be. Really, I could through away all my old fashion gardening books, they make everything so complicated 😊. Dankeschön.

Thanks for the heads up on planting tree seeds with garlic to protect the seeds. Some squirrels got into our pole barn and destroyed dozens of plum seeds. Cheers.

Everything and everybody looks fantastic. Love the green dress on Zelda! ❤

What do you plant the next year after the garlic is pulled and while the trees are still in the center of the bed?

[beckymay]

You luuuuv ur baby. It’s so fun to watch 😊

do you have a playlist for the vids focused on all the stuff out in this field? i've been keeping up with things but it'd be cool to send them to a partner with just one link

If my wife sees this she is going to make me take the peach seeds out of the fridge

@EdibleAcres Fantastic info! What time of year do you seed the Daikon? Also, when digging up the trees, how are you dealing with the trees with taproots?
Thanks!

[BackyardBerry]

Do you ever deal with double dormancy working with hazel? I’ve been afraid to work with them because I’ve heard they do and I’ve struggled with other crops that are affected by this so idk. Interested to hear your thoughts.

[catherinefaux]

What do you do with all the tree seedlings? Are they sold?

[MistressOP]

Have you heard of pasture cropping? I wonder if this would be a good system for that. bare root hazel nut farming in a blank pasture using a bit of the ruth stout method. maybe fleshing it out. I grew a lot of garlic and onion in general. Stupid amounts of it. This feels like a really good idea to use space better. Instead of just growing a massive amount of carrots and other hidey crops.

That looks like good efficient work Shawn. I jist plant some Egyptian walking onions around some young Shagbark trees that I have on the go. So far so good. I do have a quick question. I know your a busy fella. The question is I have 5 Paw Paws living in my dinining room that I grew from seed this past summer. Im in the same zone as you but on the Canadian side. Do you think they would be fine if I planted them this weekend. We have had frost a couple of nights this week. Tomorrow ia supposed to be 22 C.? The reason I am thinking of planting them out now is Im afraid they will out grow their bucket over winter and the Mrs. Is tired of looking at them in the dinningroom.😂😂😂Thanks for any input.

Any problem with squirrels? I feel like they would just dig them up if I did that

[bearnaff]

Does your neighbor require any compensation for your use of their land? I mean, considering that they're literally getting sharecropper performance out of unused land, I would hope that they'ld settle for a couple people's subsistence share from the eventual crop, but I am curious what you guys settled on, if there's any compensation going on at all. (By which I mean, if _I_ was approached by you requesting to use some of my fallow land for crops, I would only need paperwork releasing me from liability if you & yours are injured on the land to sign off on a $1 5-year lease. Knowing what I know about your techniques, five years of your attention would be worth quite a bit to me if I eventually planned to garden in that space myself. Exploitive? Yeah, a win-win? Also yeah.)
