The watermelon landrace project is continuing nicely and the vines are completely eating the garden pathways. We also have lots of cucumbers going to seed and plenty of peppers that need to be harvested. The edible D. bulbifera is coming along beautifully and the cassava is getting tall. All in all, it's a lovely time to walk through the Grocery Row Garden! - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
Gardening after the "Why not?" philosophy is a cool way to garden. I'm starting to shift my thinking along those lines too :D
I wanted to let you know that out of all the TH-cam gardening channels that I watch you have helped me more than any. It's like you gave me permission to be free in the garden and this year my garden has blossomed. So thank you so much!
Exactly.
David. I live in central Ohio. We get high humidity in the summer. I garden the same way you do. I don’t have the space you have but I have a good size garden. Watching your video made me realize that it’s okay to garden chaotically. Because I let things go to seed food comes up where ever it wants to and I leave it. I don’t plant things in straight rows, even though I try. This year I embraced the way I garden. It’s the best garden I’ve ever had. I threw the companion gardening rules out the window and planted things where I had space. Things are thriving. Pests are at a minimum. It’s a cottage garden dream come true. Thank you for your videos. Been following you for years and out of all the gardening people I watch you have helped me the most. ❤❤❤❤
Honestly one of most useful entertaining gardening channels.
David the Good Horticultural Anarchist. I love it! As I walked through my veggie garden today I kept asking myself, where did this come from? Who planted all these Cleomes? Then to my grocery row garden that runs along the north fence, 65 feet long, 8 feet deep. It looks as crazy as yours. I love it and I’m getting blackberries, blueberries, elephant garlic, onions, Swiss chard, okra and loads of cherry tomatoes. The ground cover is small butternut winter squash. All planted among all kinds of flowers. Thank you for the book, and the inspiration.
Sounds beautiful and productive! I love garden surprises. It's like Christmas every week on my property as I discover new arrivals that pop up from bird droppings and whatnot. I found two passion vines and what looks to be a muscadine grape vine in the back woods last week! And there are four rogue rudbeckias in the middle of the front yard. Then there are the surprises I find after something I planted finally presents itself but meanwhile I've already planted something else right there so now they're conjoined. 🤷🏻♀️😂
We are now in heat jail. The garden can only be tended before 0900 😆Everything after that is to hot, and the evening the dragon flies can't keep up with the skeeters...But, I have seeds started soooo 😁😁
I think you may have stumbled on String Theory for Gardeners. Each string is a past or future Dave doing things in the garden. These cosmic strings are jumbled and tangled through space-time and every once in a while one string may intersect with another. That's when you find things like 15 plants all in an area where you thought you only planted potatoes, or Yacon on top of asparagus, or Cassava planted under a trellis. I've experienced it myself and it could just be that I'm getting older and forgetting things -- I like the string theory idea better. Love the videos!
Hilarious... love that banter!
Black Cherry is an overlooked native tree. Black cherries make the best homemade ice cream, or cobbler. I just keep my trees (all volunteers) to a manageable height and keep them away from any animals.
You know what I find interesting about cucurbits, is their roots smell like the flesh of the fruit. Try it next time you are transplanting one. It's useful for being able to tell them apart, which I learned after mixing up tags on a batch of cucumbers, watermelon and cantaloupe seedlings.
Imma check this out! Cool trick!
How could you tell them apart since they're all cucurbits?
Be careful when you say I am not going to do something. Abba has a way of saying yes you will lol😂
You’ve been such an inspiration that we put in our swale food forest garden last fall and I just planted the last of my collection of seeds basically on top of who knows what since I’m running out of room-cukes, peppers, peanuts for the first time (were grown commercially on this property for years), Moringa seeds, and still have more seeds to plant besides more 2’ tall tomato seedlings. The landrace tomatoes I did get in the ground are coming in like I’ve never seen before! Ezekiel’s watermelons are coming into their vine and I look forward to some this fall. All of it is Christmas! Thank you David and Rachel!
Thank you!
I thought my garden was a mess with pumpkin vines going everywhere, but you've topped mine David 😂. I have such a small space for gardening I have to crowd in everything I can and it doesn't always work out well. Like right now the cukes have mildew and I'm pulling them out today. My melons are still babies.
You mentioned the wasps. The mud daubers are keeping my brassicas completely clean of cabbage caterpillars. Then I had a mini outbreak of asparagus beetle larvae, and got wasps kicked into gear and started annihilating those larvae. They're great.
The mud daubers love hunting caterpillars in my garden. I love them.
Love your style mate! 👌🏻 It looks so natural compared to straight line gardening. Beautiful!
If you have too much cucumber seeds you can use the seeds as natural wormer for all species (pets, livestock, pets) the cucurbitin makes worms release and pass out.
caused by 5G! LMAO...
😂caught me off guard too.
5g and "I wrote a book". Funny.
My favorite line
I missed your longer videos like this! Love your work!❤
Looks like you’ve created a beautiful ecosystem there! Love it! And l love your humor in between 🤣🤣
There’s always something to be done when you have a home,family,and garden. And if you have chickens and other farm critters you are never without something to do😂❤
You crack me up! 5g! Then, future David vs past David! Your beautiful garden mess makes me feel better about my out of control garden.
Gotta love your style and yes I'm having the time of my life watching and listening to you 😂😂👏👍👍
Your content now that you live here is probably a bit more useful to me since I live in Florida, but what you were doing in Grenada was really fascinating, and it would have been really interesting to see how that system matured.
I know. I miss it sometimes. But I like being home.
@@davidthegood Yeah, know what you mean, as much as a completely Tropical environment is appealing. Florida is far enough, we're near my wife's family and at least in the same country as mine in Indiana. I do miss some things about Indiana, not being able to see my family as frequently, the spring ephemeral and prarie flowers (though above us in the panhandle does have many of the same species of both) morel mushrooms, fall colors etc. as well as those vegetables that were easier to grow there than here. At least rual central florida, where we should soon be God willing, reminds me of home to a certain extent, and I'll have a good amount of space for some of Florida's native plants along with edible and useful ones including those of a tropical sort which is exciting (and was another motive of moving down here besides being near to Mary's family; we'll be able to grow things like yuca which is part of their quesine as her parents are from Venezuela).
Lol, you always make me laugh at myself through your own confusion as it mirrors my own confusion in the middle of the summer garden. The glorious disaster of planting things on top of things. 😂
You are encouraging me to go barefoot in my garden!
It’s grounding. It’s very good for your health. I’m barefoot in my yard as much as possible. 😊
Very good for you... just go for it!
That is an amazing grocery brow garden! We're a little under halfway done with clearing a 15x40 spot with a broadfork n our side yard for this (By hand in July, in NC. 🤣) which we're hoping to get cowpeas and buckwheat in by next weekend to be ready to plant trees, bushes and shrubs for ours.
Thanks for the reminder that it's ok to do life as well as well as showing us the vision you have.
I've been told that the watermelon will be ready when the curly q on the far end of the melon starts to dry, turning brown. 🍉
Yes. That's part of it. Sometimes that's wrong, though.
@@davidthegoodWith all of those beautiful watermelon 🍉, you can figure that out for us. 😀 #yum
Canna lilies are awesome.
We have been growing collecting them in my family for over 20 yrs.
The green ones with small orange flowers are absolutely crazy. They get at least 8 ft, though often closer to 12 ft or taller.
The variety you have we call Tropicana. They have large red flowers and some have large orange flowers, they do not get nearly as tall and almost never produce seeds.
Another common name is "Indian shot" as the seeds are incredibly hard.
We have tall seeding varieties of red, yellow, red/yellow, orange and even a pink.
Much love and happy Independence Day to the whole family !!!!!!!
Thank you Ezekiel for the landrace watermelon seeds !!! I planted as soon as they arrived
You can eat them
Hot here in Georgia. My garden is doing well. The weeds are getting a tad plentiful 😂in my garden …but the garden plants are taking over too. Love your channel ❤ your groceries are looking beautiful 😊
Dear David, thank you for all the encouragement! We really need it with all the shenanigans going on with the food in the stores etc,etc,etc.
The garden is glorious and wild! You and God did GOOD!
Indigent- A very nice word that you learned from reading. And relatable on occasion.
Thank you for reminding me that life happens, and its ok because it does.
Good stuff. Side note the other day when helping with a yard cleanup some guys pulled out some iris flowers thinking they were weeds, so I replanted them. However, there were no trowels and all we had were machetes so I figured well David the good plants with a machete I’ll try it out, it worked great and added another layer of fun 😂😃
I just appreciate and love the explanation and experimentation. The only failure is to not learn from it. Thank you for the time.
Thank you, Brittany.
Would love to get on the pre order list for the discoria bulbifera seed bulbils... when they start to take off.. and you finally have more than you need. !!
Thank you for giving us this. Wonderful and inspiring.
It's always fun to see what y'all have growing in the Grocery Rows. The part with the gnats at the end was funny, you could have used that as the thumbnail 😂.
What did you put in the coffee!! 😂 😂
You want your watermelon to sound drnse when you thump it. The more scarring on it the better it means it was pollinated many times making it sweeter.
Wonderful garden !
These are my favorite videos to watch 💜
Such and lovely garden and inspiring, indeed! Would absolutely love to see how you cook/make meals out of that. Make us hungry!
Grocery Row gardens look fabulous David Happy 4th of July to you n your family hope you continue to be blessed with our Lord bounty 😊🙏 🇺🇸 🎆 🎇
You too
11:11 that ol' boy looks real nice. 30:56 yes, definitely. So in about 2025, we'll be ready to roll cigars!!
Treading on serpents....barefoot!
Rock on DTG, I need some of that grass to control erosion. What other names does it have?
😃🌱🐢
Vetiver! i have louisiana sunshine here in central florida 9b, got the starts from cindy meredith in texas. i have about 20 around the place and along my constantly washing out sand road, and they are slowing down the erosion. we had 3 freezes this past winter, slowed some down, they all recovered just in time for continued drought. i also LOVE these.
Thanks for the info, it is much needed. 😃
You were very correct about the cherry tomatoes! I can't grow regular tomatoes for anything! But the cherry tomato plant I picked out is the craziest, most prolific tomato plant I have ever seen, let alone grown!i
Let it grow, let it grow, let it grow...
I got my Wife to get me some Egyptian walking onion bulbetts for my Birthday. They are going in my perennial bed next to the driveway where the Jerusalem artichokes live.
Thanks for the video. Loved to hear the bees buzzing by as you were recording. My cucumbers have finally hit, so it's pickle time of year for me. Just when your garden looks like the Amazon River Basin, then you know you have done it right! God bless y'all and keep growing.
Defiantly not looking at real estate in Appalachia. 😂😂😂. You happen to be growing in my zone right now, so I really don’t want you to move again. But I lived in Appalachia before moving to southern Mississippi, and I know you would love it there.
Life, uh...finds a way. LOL! Awesome garden!
Once more I wasn't notified!
I hear ya about the heat! I do 20 min and have to go in and cool off!
Totally awesome garden! Thanks for the shout out!
David, ordered everglades tomato seeds from you, and they are growing like crazy in my garden. They are the most delicious tomato that I've ever had! I've got better boys and early girls in the garden as well, and an entire area of "volunteers," (most likely some roma, morning glory other small tomatoes from compost pile)--but there is absolutely no comparison to those everglades! I made some homemade tomato soup the other day from the everglades, with fresh basil from the garden. My husband said it was "amazing," the "best tomato soup he's ever had." The flavor was such that I am craving it...off to the garden to pick some more and make some more soup! Have a super-abundance of peppers as well, think I will try those in the soup. :-) Very grateful to you for your encouragement in gardening-my first year, and it has been amazing-squashes, tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, pole beans, oriental yardlong beans, asparagus, purple tree kale, sweet potatoes, seminole pumpkins, blueberrry bushes, muscadines, stevia, egyptian walking onions, all sorts of herbs! It has been such a gift and a joy!! 🙂 (As well, planted moringa, apple, ice cream banana, mulberry, avocado, persimmon, strawberry guava, pineapple guava, satsuma, pomegranate trees- have lemon, grapefruit, lime, fig, kumquat, loquat trees and blackberries :-)) Thank you, again!
Thank you. The flavor is really startlingly good - I'm so glad you're enjoying them.
Strong coffee indeed 😜
I love it! You garden the way I do. It's often a surprise to see what comes up!
Im having fun the time line over seeding land soooo funny.
👋 Hey everyone!
Hi!
It's amazing how the heat in your area gets so bad, it's almost like a second winter.
Wow epic grocery garden, thank you for share☀️⛈🌻🐝🥰🤗
Oh so you're drinking special coffee so you see little tiny flying things that aren't really there, thanks for the video
You are awesome. Ordered your books today! My thumb remains green!
Thank you
I love the way you garden ❤❤❤❤
Your trellis=my trellis! I have leftover fencing pieces also!
Thank you, David!
Garden looking good
Inspirational!
Absolutely gorgeous. The way I do it too!
I planted cucumber, Watermelon, squash, and Cantaloupe. They say to give a couple years rest before planting in the same spot so I figure it's a perfect time time to put down a 2ft deep wood mulch
Love ya bro keep it up
Awesome 😎
Hi David, Isn´t that so, in the winter the lush garden seems so far away.
Love you future Dave!
Great content and wonderful sense of humour. Thanks and love from South Afrika
Thanks!
I hope you don't have to move again. Gardening is all about Time passing and memories. It looks WONDERFUL!❤
It would be great to see a harvest !!
I love a long form video
ment to add the garden looks fab!!
Thank you 😁
I am going to plant sugar cane!!! Thank you!!! I had no idea we could grow that here in 7A.
Thanks
It has been a tough season this year. I was dispondent about the late winter planting that struggled over the frost, drought and early high heat. What amazes me is that anything survived at all. That is a tribute to the resiliency of plants! It were the perennials that saved me. They formed little micro environments i could half heartedly place annuals around. They survived the drought, when alone the annuals failed, or failed to fruit. The bees were nowhere to be found. I hand pollinated the most promising. Last year my front yard had 2 feet of water, and the back yard got over 4 feet deep after Ian hit. So i lost some but not all of my perennials, and all my annials. Your grocery row gardening works. I might have to make gardens in rows of pots, rather than raised beds though. I just harvested some kolarbi of all things. But took forever to grow, and looked like they would never make it. But they did once we got an occasionsl rain, and i added drip irrigation.
Lookin good
Very cool! This gave us a lot of ideas! To watch a gardening video and laugh is rare these days!! Keep on keeping on man!!!
Haha future Dave planting for surprises 🙏😘
I wanna see your harvest, prep and eating with the family series
Thank you for the tip on Vetiver. I’m going to check that out to plant along my sloped property line.
the herb garden, cindy meredith, texas. got my first starts there about 5 years ago. i now have about 20 of them, they are really slowing down the erosion on my dirt road. i am in 9b. they took three freezes this winter, looked really rough but they all came back.
Zinnias are my favorites too.
I just love your videos David, you have a unique way of describing every plant, weed, or bush and that's what makes you interesting!! Thanks for encouraging me to think outside the box about gardening. I have been told I have OCD ...so much that even my garden has to be neat. But, I'm looking forward to creating a new space and call it
"my freedom garden" where every plant is free to be whatever it wants to be! Thanks for the inspiration David!
Thank you for quoting Jo Robinson, its just the kind of reference I was looking to incorporate in my article on the important role of wild berries in the food garden. Experience, education and trawling the web teach you that wild=nutritious, but years later you have this strong opinion and can't remember the sources. so thank you thank you thank you
I want to know more about your edible D. bulbifera! I have one that has the angled baubils you have and would love to hear your experience with it in depth!!!
David the Good, maniacal inventor of the Hillbilly Cern that is under his garden of infinite timelines...
Picture of Tomato Plant with the leaf issues and 5G should be on a shirt😂😂😂
Your garden looks amazing!
I look for a watermelon to be ready when the "belly" is buttery yellow.
That vetiva grass you are talking about looks heaps like the rushes ive got here in Australia. They survive major drought and live in water as well as frost snow tolerant as well . Also the goats love them for food too. 😋
I live in Australia and we have a tiny tomato we call bush tomato they grow all year and are very invasive also
we have been in triple digets for a few weeks --102 today last i looked --a few days ago it was 110--only going to get hotter here in tucson az--when the monsones come we will get the heat and the humidity--life in the desert!!
Hi everyone😊
I’m glad your summer is hot. Up here in Massachusetts zone 6b we have had tons of rain maybe 2 days of sun per week if we are lucky. Nothing is growing I just harvested the peas I planted in April. I’m sure the sweet potatoes I just planted will never grow good thing I planted plenty of white potatoes.
