I appreciate your saying that you don't know why something isn't producing.... So many TH-camrs show only the good stuff and don't mention anything less than great, much less that they don't know why.
I don't normally watch videos 38 minutes long. But, this was magnificient. I loved the carefree nature of your garden and how you know each plant. You seem fearless in your garden. Way to go!, I mean grow.
There's so much I didn't get planted this year. Life did not cooperate, so that's okay, but this video is very inspiring for this fall and next spring.
I seldom watch your videos, i listen to them while I am gardening. I am from Malaysia, tropical rainforest gardening in my own houseyards. I always tried to grow plants that easily decimated by the heat, all year around. I was thinking to get japanese persimmons to plant, cause u said it is really nice, almost like mango. And i just laughed and laughed. I have a mango tree that fruiting more than 100 fruits. So, listening you over and over again while gardening really gets me going, and reminds myself I need to plant things that grow well in my climate, tons of it. Well done and you’re my inspiration. Heartfelt gratitude and appreciation from 1huzlives.
My grandma raised us on dried rose hip tea. It’s delicious and caffeine free. I grow Rosa rugosa here in Arkansas. I harvest the hips and combine with apples to make jelly. The hips are a famous source of vitamin C that you can grow in many areas.
It's growing so well because its in ALABAMA...ha! Thanks for the tour David and Rachel. I am very happy for you that this garden is blessing your family with so much food. Grow on!
I am in awe at your food forest ‼️. It is so wonderful to watch. I’m in the hot Dry windy sandy desert of nw Nevada . Been here just under 19 yrs & still trying to figure out gardening here 😢 Yes, got a greenhouse & had to put an evap cooler in & trying shade cloth on the hotter side. Gardening is a def challenge but I won’t give up 👍🤩 Have a great day y’all 👵🏻👩🌾❣️
In desert areas of Africa, they're having success by planting in dug out areas. They look like big bowls. Any moisture will condense in the lowest, coolest areas. May you could try something like that. Maybe shade cloth over the top?
This guy changed my farming luck. I tried all kinds of things that he tried. Most of my gardens were failures but great learning experiences. Finally I found a method of regenerative farming that works well in Southern Arizona. This was a game changer for me. I have seen all kinds of ideas from David the Good. There should be something that will work for your area. This fall we are looking at the Billionaires who run this country fighting with a Billionaire interloper. I don't know what will happen but you should get going on your food sovereignty.
I came up with this recipe for Jerusalem Artichokes... no gas... everyone loves it ♥ Chow Chow: 5 cups Jerusalem Artichokes 5 cups cabbage 5 cups Onion 5 cups Bell Pepper 1/2 cup Salt 5 cups Sugar 4 Tablespoons Mustard Powder 3 Tablespoons Celery Seed 1 Tablespoon Turmeric 10 cups Vinegar Combine the cabbage, onions, bell peppers, artichokes, and salt in a large bowl. Soak the mixture overnight in the refrigerator and drain. In a large saucepan over medium heat combine the sugar, mustard, turmeric, celery seed, and vinegar. Simmer mixture for 10 minutes. Add the vegetables stir well and simmer until hot and well seasoned. Pack the chow-chow into hot, sterilized jars, leaving 1/2 inch head space in jar. Put on 2 piece lid. Heat the jars in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes to seal the lids.
You convinced me to start a garden and to break all the rules. I took leaf mould from under trees on my property and tilled that into my clay soil. Went straight into that and grew hundreds of lbs. it’ll keep getting better and I only spent 100 bucks total for the 4 beds and tat was ferts. I was almost convinced I had to spend many times that until I found your rebel vids. Thanks homie I think I’m a gardening dude for life now :)
I can attest that the Grocery Row Gardening Method works really well. I live in San Antonio, TX, and have four rows that are 70 feet long. My fruit trees are planted 8-10 feet apart, and between each fruit tree, I have a block of four Moringa trees to provide dappled shade and fodder for my TAMUK rabbits. For my understory, I grow chicory, a 10th generation green chard that I've been selectively breeding, and Turk's Cap (Malvaviscus arboreus var. drummondii) for edible leaves and bunny food. I also grow white popping sorghum, golden giant amaranth, Mongolian sunflowers, goji berries, blackberries, Florida Everglades tomatoes, and I'm trying Seminole pumpkins again this year, although the vine borers eventually destroy them. A word of advice: you really do want three feet between your rows. I only made a 1.5-foot aisle to squeeze in an extra row, and it's very hard to turn a wheelbarrow around inside the garden. This is a fantastic system of gardening once it's up and going, and the maintenance is quite low if you plant a lot of perennials. Plus, it's just way more athestically pleasing to the eye than a normal garden. I have about 14 rabbits now producing enough fertilizer and mulch (pine shavings) for the entire garden, and they love to eat the weeds and tree clippings. It's a beautiful system.
Hi David, my grandfather had a farm in eastern Cuba. He had a fruit forest with rare varieties of mango and other fruits. He would go deep into the mountains in Sierra Maestra where we have relatives and bring seeds or roots to plant in his land. I’m impressed that you have so many plants that he used to grow and I never imagined someone would grow in the US. I remember by Spanish names off course and I’ll give you English names of other fruit trees and shrubs that he had and I haven’t seen in many years Soursop, Annona Reticulata, Ciruela, Grocella (Phyllanthus acidus), Mango Papelino, Mango piña, this kind of banana platanito manzana …
1:50 ??? Onions??? Your wife deserves CREDIT ! ! ! Great camera work. She's so quiet, I didn't realize you were being video'd until the end. I tapped the thumbs up button to feed the algorithm monsters.
Those orange flowers at 31:31 grow in all the ditches even here in the great white north as well . funny how dispersed they are in north america. I also use the Rose hips as decoration and have debated on using them as a deterrent type of hedge because the deer decimate cedar and the fruit are extremely nutritional and is a great to add to jams ive found. Its wild tho when you think about it how many things that do grow in both the far north here in Canada as well as in the south in florida and other southern states . As usual you have a Great garden David , thank you for the video Rachel . I love how you both make this gardening thingy so much fun lol . Take care
I'm 2 years in Crawfordville FL, planted lots of fruit trees, cassava, suncokes, sweet potato and so on... most everything is struggling if not dying. I have water timers, because if I didn't water I'd have nothing. I'll keep trying. your videos keep me hopedul.
@@valerielillie7428 what else about your set up can you share? Is there mulch? How much? Also where is the water from, and have you added anything to the soil else to the soil?
I saw how much you wanted to use Pete’s line in the beginning ..”Show you what’s G(r)oing on..” Well, done, but next time try it, and see if a rare fruit tree shows up, not that you need much more in the grocery row (jungle) garden. Looks amazing! DTG
Oh, I remember the Jerusalem f-rt achokes story. 😂😂 And many of us know that is why you don’t eat them. I definitely can’t eat them with my sensitive stomach. God Bless you and Rachel.
Hi David. I live in a semi desert area in Colorado . We hardly have good rain here. Two weeks ago,I prayed and danced for rain. Surprisingly, we had a pond in our backyard the next morning. I watched your video when you were using pond water.Now, that's what I am doing. Wishing that I will have good crops this Summer through Fall.
Poor Ms Rachel having to try to follow y'all. Garden is absolutely crazy. Y'all barefoot in snake season is a bit crazy. Thank y'all for sharing. Have a blessed day.
I could watch your garden tours all day😊 It's all looking fantastic 👍 Very inspiring. we're in the heart of winter down here in Australia, so it's really nice to see a beautiful summer garden, especially one that looks so good. Great job 👏👏👏
Jungle Row Gardeing now! 😅 Looks AMAZING! Im gonna put more effort into making our own along with already established single row gardens. God bless yall DTG!
I was inspired by your chop and drop antics, I had decided you remove a calendula plant as it has been blooming for months and is too big now. I chopped it up and mulched the corn. I expect to see calendula plants this fall and even next year. 😊
I have goji berry plant in south Mississippi. Pretty sure they want high pH soil. They’ve grown in my acidic soil but had some leaf drop issues, no fruit.
Came for some topic, stayed for your spiritually sound attitude. And now I'm not regretting it when I lol'd at your massive finished collection of 2023 readings. I need to set down the TH-cam and pick back up my books by the saints!
We just got a free load of mulch through a service called Chip Drop. They match local arborist with people who want their mulch. Our pile was over 1000 cubic feet. We've used lots & have had several neighbors take 1 or 2 truck loads & we still have a big pile left.
Don't axe the Gojis just yet!! They take living a full 3 years in one place to really 'decide' to put forth fruit from blossom.. the second huge issue is pollinators. They are self producing, but that little extra aspect being tended to, the pollination, will set fruit drastically greater. The sun and watering seems to look like it's not a problem from the video, but extra sun and water never hurt the Goji!! I was introduced to Goji back in 2003, and have been a fan and a student ever since. ..and they take roots in a glass of water super easily too! About as easy as the passionflower.. both I'm currently propagating by the dozen.. Happy Gardening, Brother!
I got a 10 foot tall 3' wide brandy wine tomato plant you need to see, south ga and it was 2 months late , I didn't even wanna grow tomatoes when I planned my garden
I recall reading that it takes the goji plant about 3 years before she starts to berry. You got some nice lookin’ greens everywhere! Trust. She gone be fine.😂😂
i also watch @Shaun Overton, both of you inspire me in different ways. would be amazing to see you guys work together or do a podcast together. hes reforesting 320 acres in texas desert.
Going to start my food forest pretty soon in umatilla! About 40 acres but probably going to just start with a half acre. After the fruit trees, I’m going to see if a tree company will drop off some mulch
Very beautiful! I don't think I'll end up with much of a garden this year because the grasshoppers and eating nearly everything in sight down to nubs. This is the worst year for them since I moved here to colorado 10 years ago. Strangely they havent eating squash leaves, tomato, or lettuce so far so maybe I'll get some of those. I'm growing an apple tree from seed for the first time because of your videos. It's 3 ft tall this year. I had to chuckle because that doesnt look like a row garden to me...just lush jungle. So cool :)
hey David, our goji don't fruit either, but the round ish leaf type like yours can be leaf stripped and boiled, just watch for spikes when stripping leaf.
One of my favorite uses for rugosa roses is making Cheong from the petals. For the uninitiated, Cheong is a Korean syrup made using the osmotic pressure exerted by sugar crystals to draw out the liquid from fruit or really any kind of vegetation. They retain a lot more flavor than cooked syrups due the lack of heat denaturing or boiling off volatile aromatics. The rugosa rose petal Cheong is great on pancakes, drizzled over vanilla ice cream, or added to a gin and tonic ( or other cocktails)
Oh, and one of the great things about using the petals is that they can be used while leaving the hip to develop for harvest later on. also, I want to encourage your idea with training the peach up high. You can open up the center, train the primary scaffold branches upward to form the basic vase structure, and then train them to grow outward once they reach seven or eight feet off the ground and They’ll form a living arbor for training vines to. Then prune them to bear fruit out on the periphery where their weight will bring them down into view as they ripen.
I did this because my garden burnt down in a big fire. I called it the emergency bed. All my raised beds were burned. My first garden beds were the no-dig method, but it didn't work well in my clay and stone soil. I had made paths between the rows with cardboard and mulch. I just left this bed empty. After 3 years it was all composted, but unfortunately also overgrown with weeds. I started to remove all the weeds and stones right after the fire and spread more bought soil and compost and planted trees, flowers and flowering shrubs and succulents in between I put zucchini, watermelon, pumpkin, cabbage and sunflowers. Everything is growing great and I'm thinking about expanding it and planting the rest in the same way. It's an insane amount of work but it's worth it because my vegetables have never looked so healthy!
We have grown musa basjoo in nyc and long island ny zone 7 ...we hack them back and barely mulch them and they multiply like crazy ..we give them to friends and family
@@davidthegood we are having a lot of issues with nematodes! Seems to be getting worse every year. Fruit trees, sweet potatoes and bananas do fine, but perennials are a hit or miss (and the ones that are a hit my folks don’t eat). Any recommendations for cucumbers here? I can grow them in a pot away from the nematodes, but they always get the mildew… thank you 🙏🏼
My only guess on the gojis is that they need more cross pollination, so more different goji berry bushes nearby. Loved the tour, always excited to see more "lazy" gardening videos :)
Beautiful garden! Its looking so good. I get lots of inspiration from you and your garden. I was wondering, how wide do you make your pathways? I have such an awful habit of not giving myself enough room inbetween rows 🤣 When your tomatoes end up getting diseased at the end of their life, do you chop and drop those too, or haul away? God bless you brother, from Zone 3 Canada.
Sorry lol I just ended up hearing the part where you said 3 foot wide paths 😆 i try for 2' but often end up with 1.5 yikes haha better tk have the space to move around comfortably
I forget what site it was but they discovered two American chestnut trees that survived death and are disease free. Maybe the return of the American chestnut will be on the return. They verified that it is American chestnut.
You make me realize how behind I am on my grocery row garden. Of course a foot amputation has slowed that down. But has not stopped me. I got deer netting up because deer were nibbling on the young trees. They look so much better just 3 weeks later. Getting melons and pumpkins planted soon. Later than i wanted but with the way our weather has been, probably will be fine. Potatoes are looking good. Blueberries are looking good. Gooseberries and Fig havent taken off yet which makes me feel like they died. Win some, lose some. Replace with more later. In this for the long haul for sure.
@@davidthegoodyeah, I was hoping for a reconstruction. Got my a1c down and right before Easter my bone said "nope I'm coming through whether you want it or not" but I've adapted well so far. I wish I could speed up the process for the prosthetic. I can't be in the garden as much as I would like. My 2 teens don't want to help much at this time and I don't want to put it all on my Wife. But keep a once a week check over the grocery row garden right now and an every couple of days check on the raised beds in the backyard.
Im on year 1 of starting a food forest. Islands on the east and west sides that had empty gaps in the yard. It's not on my property. Southern Minnesota.
are you growing only seminole pumpkin from cucurbit family? how about watermelons or cucumbers or cantaloupes? It so challenging to fight the pickleworm moth here in florida, i see them in your video, but it doesn;t look like they caused a lot of damage for you

I appreciate your saying that you don't know why something isn't producing.... So many TH-camrs show only the good stuff and don't mention anything less than great, much less that they don't know why.
I learn a lot from others. Time is so short… it doesn’t make sense to pretend!
I was going to say the same.
@@davidthegood Had the same problem with goji berry.. it needs another goji variety for successful pollination.
That's not a garden, that's a food jungle!
It's good to see a fellow bare foot gardener, it's important to have a very good connection to the ground around you.
Absolutely.
I actually prefer to be completely nude in the garden …at night under the stars.
Uhuh come to Texas where I’m at and walk in my garden bare foot I dare ya 😂😂😂
@@BirdieBlrrrd Negative
You couldn't convince me to go barefooted! We have scorpions!
Plant hyssop next to the goji berries.The purple flowers attract a lot of pollinators. That is how we got our goji berries to actually fruit.
Love your family and life culture. Keep enjoying the journey and praising God.
Thank you.
THANK GOD! AMEN
I don't normally watch videos 38 minutes long. But, this was magnificient. I loved the carefree nature of your garden and how you know each plant. You seem fearless in your garden. Way to go!, I mean grow.
Extra scene after the video-
David sneaks up at night into the garden, and takes a bite of that cool looking flower😂
that is one beautiful property my friend thank you for helping inspire others to do the same or similar!!
Thank you.
You’re in 8b?! Oh thank heavens. Makes it easier when someone in my zone shows me what they’re doing. Awesome.
It's amazing how you can just remember what everything is, just by the leaves.
There's so much I didn't get planted this year. Life did not cooperate, so that's okay, but this video is very inspiring for this fall and next spring.
I'm right with you on that. I remind myself I can do canning from the farm stands❤

In desert areas of Africa, they're having success by planting in dug out areas. They look like big bowls. Any moisture will condense in the lowest, coolest areas. May you could try something like that. Maybe shade cloth over the top?
Definitely mulch, compost, and cover crop like crazy so that sand turns into a lovely growable soil 😊

i also watch @Shaun Overton, both of you inspire me in different ways. would be amazing to see you guys work together or do a podcast together. hes reforesting 320 acres in texas desert.
I am cheap....thrifty or frivolouseses.... alabama loves you dave and loves your hard work at this. The place looks amaze balls....
WohooOoooO! thank you David! love the grocey row tour, especially many through the season to see what happens
Going to start my food forest pretty soon in umatilla! About 40 acres but probably going to just start with a half acre. After the fruit trees, I’m going to see if a tree company will drop off some mulch
You can do it!
Bravo looks excellent? I have 4 years!
Very beautiful! I don't think I'll end up with much of a garden this year because the grasshoppers and eating nearly everything in sight down to nubs. This is the worst year for them since I moved here to colorado 10 years ago. Strangely they havent eating squash leaves, tomato, or lettuce so far so maybe I'll get some of those. I'm growing an apple tree from seed for the first time because of your videos. It's 3 ft tall this year.
I had to chuckle because that doesnt look like a row garden to me...just lush jungle. So cool :)
Blessings to you & family from FNQ Australia
hey David, our goji don't fruit either, but the round ish leaf type like yours can be leaf stripped and boiled, just watch for spikes when stripping leaf.
One of my favorite uses for rugosa roses is making Cheong from the petals. For the uninitiated, Cheong is a Korean syrup made using the osmotic pressure exerted by sugar crystals to draw out the liquid from fruit or really any kind of vegetation. They retain a lot more flavor than cooked syrups due the lack of heat denaturing or boiling off volatile aromatics. The rugosa rose petal Cheong is great on pancakes, drizzled over vanilla ice cream, or added to a gin and tonic ( or other cocktails)
Oh, and one of the great things about using the petals is that they can be used while leaving the hip to develop for harvest later on. also, I want to encourage your idea with training the peach up high. You can open up the center, train the primary scaffold branches upward to form the basic vase structure, and then train them to grow outward once they reach seven or eight feet off the ground and They’ll form a living arbor for training vines to. Then prune them to bear fruit out on the periphery where their weight will bring them down into view as they ripen.
That sounds amazing.
I did this because my garden burnt down in a big fire. I called it the emergency bed. All my raised beds were burned. My first garden beds were the no-dig method, but it didn't work well in my clay and stone soil. I had made paths between the rows with cardboard and mulch. I just left this bed empty. After 3 years it was all composted, but unfortunately also overgrown with weeds. I started to remove all the weeds and stones right after the fire and spread more bought soil and compost and planted trees, flowers and flowering shrubs and succulents in between I put zucchini, watermelon, pumpkin, cabbage and sunflowers.
Everything is growing great and I'm thinking about expanding it and planting the rest in the same way. It's an insane amount of work but it's worth it because my vegetables have never looked so healthy!
We have grown musa basjoo in nyc and long island ny zone 7 ...we hack them back and barely mulch them and they multiply like crazy ..we give them to friends and family
Love love your videos.Always so motivating!
I still want a full version of "Bambooza" on Spotify to add to my "homestead" playlist.
I need this, but in Zone 10b/11 😅 (and yes, I do have your book!)
That climate is even easier than here. You can grow so much!
@@davidthegood we are having a lot of issues with nematodes! Seems to be getting worse every year. Fruit trees, sweet potatoes and bananas do fine, but perennials are a hit or miss (and the ones that are a hit my folks don’t eat). Any recommendations for cucumbers here? I can grow them in a pot away from the nematodes, but they always get the mildew… thank you 🙏🏼
My only guess on the gojis is that they need more cross pollination, so more different goji berry bushes nearby. Loved the tour, always excited to see more "lazy" gardening videos :)
I love your machete pointer.
❤ the garden.
Thank you
Một khu vườn đẹp❤
I'm looking forward to my rosehips! got the plant from you at the HomesteadHer conference in May!
Awesome. That was a great event.
30:54 what is this thing?? (Is it a lime buggy)
Thanks for sharing man , beautiful
Thank you for your work.
I"m in WI and my goji berries are nuts.
Can I ask where you are buying your specialty plants from? I also live in zone 8B. Learning a lot from your videos. Thank you
Beautiful garden! Its looking so good. I get lots of inspiration from you and your garden. I was wondering, how wide do you make your pathways? I have such an awful habit of not giving myself enough room inbetween rows 🤣
When your tomatoes end up getting diseased at the end of their life, do you chop and drop those too, or haul away?
God bless you brother, from Zone 3 Canada.
Sorry lol I just ended up hearing the part where you said 3 foot wide paths 😆 i try for 2' but often end up with 1.5 yikes haha better tk have the space to move around comfortably
I am so jealous of your galangal plants. I can't find fresh roots to plant here in South Africa.
I forget what site it was but they discovered two American chestnut trees that survived death and are disease free. Maybe the return of the American chestnut will be on the return. They verified that it is American chestnut.
You make me realize how behind I am on my grocery row garden. Of course a foot amputation has slowed that down. But has not stopped me. I got deer netting up because deer were nibbling on the young trees. They look so much better just 3 weeks later. Getting melons and pumpkins planted soon. Later than i wanted but with the way our weather has been, probably will be fine. Potatoes are looking good. Blueberries are looking good. Gooseberries and Fig havent taken off yet which makes me feel like they died. Win some, lose some. Replace with more later. In this for the long haul for sure.
Good attitude. I am so sorry about your foot. I can't imagine.
@@davidthegoodyeah, I was hoping for a reconstruction. Got my a1c down and right before Easter my bone said "nope I'm coming through whether you want it or not" but I've adapted well so far. I wish I could speed up the process for the prosthetic. I can't be in the garden as much as I would like. My 2 teens don't want to help much at this time and I don't want to put it all on my Wife. But keep a once a week check over the grocery row garden right now and an every couple of days check on the raised beds in the backyard.
Wow, that is beautiful.
Just beautiful. Love it 😍
Im on year 1 of starting a food forest. Islands on the east and west sides that had empty gaps in the yard. It's not on my property. Southern Minnesota.
Hi David good to see a video again ❤
Those little Rosa Rugosa fruits, or Rose Hips, ARE SUPER HIGH in Vitamin C..
The Goji Berry is also a Complete Protein.
Work of art!
Fantastic success!
are you growing only seminole pumpkin from cucurbit family? how about watermelons or cucumbers or cantaloupes? It so challenging to fight the pickleworm moth here in florida, i see them in your video, but it doesn;t look like they caused a lot of damage for you
