SHARE THIS VIDEO TO SPREAD THE WORD ABOUT FOOD FORESTS!
My food forest Pembina plum just gave me 8.5 lbs of ripe plums. They are the ones that fell off in my hands. There is at least 5 times more yet to harvest.
Had to be careful not to step on the potato plants. The rhubarb leaves made a soft spot for my bare feet to land. Got a little scraped up from the black currant bush. (so many currants I let the neighbours pick them off)
Almost tripped over the poppies and dill.
God is good.
@@yukey2587Amen!
James, is there any way we could meet your talented Camara person? Their video skills are fantastic! Would love to see and meet them. 😊 🤩😍😇🤗❤️😃♥️ For the little boss!
Where do you get your seeds? This is like the 3rd year I get sent the wrong type
What part of New Jersey is your fabulous garden? Also, would like to know where you get your seeds for all the different tomato varieties. Thanks.
♥️my dog Ruby is a big fan of Tuck’s. As soon as she hears the music “baba baa” she comes racing through the house to the tv and literally jumps from side to side barking because she can’t wait to see her friend Tuck!
Too stinkin’ cute!❤
♥️💕♥️💕♥️💕♥️
Well James and Tuck, I was about to give up since it was my first time trying to grow a garden. I watched your other video about not giving up and kept going. Today I harvested 5 cucumbers a cantaloupe and 8 green beans. I have beefsteak and cherry tomatoes and about 5 pumpkins trying to make it. I'm proud of myself. Next year will be even better! ❤
In my experience growing gardens, I think it's important to think of mistakes/failures as learning opportunities. And if the garden is being grown as a hobby rather than for survival, remember to enjoy the process of growing the garden even if it doesn't grow as well as hoped. Best of luck to you for the rest of this growing season and next :)
YES! Good to read, each year gets better and better with experience 👍. In my first year, I grew tiny, neglected squashes and small amounts of neglected cherry toms 😅. But nowadays, I have a bunch of beefsteak toms, jalapeños, cayenne peppers, cilantro, squash, and pumpkin going! It only gets better dude!
Be sure to keep a journal as to what works and what doesn't, or what might need to be tweaked a bit. Also, write down things you want to try, seed varieties you like. Where you might want to put some flowers to attract more pollinators. Good luck, glad you kept going.
Gardening is such a learning process. I have been doing most of my adult life. I try to grow something new and different each year. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't but that's gardening. My cousin bought her first house so she calls to ask a ton of questions. I encouraged her to start small and it will grow as her knowledge grows. Not to go crazy and get overwhelmed and plant so much it's hard to keep up especially if it's your first. You want to enjoy your time in the garden. As soon as it becomes a chore you'll do less and less. And you'll rob yourself of the satisfaction looking at all you've grown and sharing with friends and family know "I grew that" 🫛🫑🌽🥦🍑😊
Let's Gooo @patriotww9471
When you have the brainpower of James and Tuck there is nothing you can’t accomplish! I’m on board!! ❤ Tuck❤ !!!
Absolutely agree
😂That sunflower! That was something to behold. It was twice your height! And, the leaves were monstrously big! I think it speaks to what's happening in the soil below. It is very, very happy. Quite a testament to permaculture principles and to your implementing them, James. Your food forest and the attention to it is such an inspiration. Thank you for sharing your knowledge, insight, and passion. And ❤ to Tuck!
Thank you for the kind words ❤️🐕
Watching your garden is so therapeutic ❤
You must be feeding the whole town! I only have four raised beds and I get so much food! You are an inspiration! ❤️🐶Tuck!!!
Really enjoyed this video. I'm a firm believer in permaculture and self-sufficiency living, Thank You 😊
You have inspired and encouraged me so much over the years that I am gardening this way now this year and I am blown away by the success! I have not grocery shopped at all this summer! We eat what The Lord has provided by gardening this way. I just ordered Berry plants if every kind imaginable! I can’t wait to plant them. Thanks James and Tuck, you’re the best!
When you said never give up... that hit hard. This year was very hard. We had so much rain, and such a bad summer. My whole garden has been wiped out with blight, the tomatoes, peppers... everything. Early on this year the slugs, now the blight. I really wanted to give up, cause when you see everything just demolished either by slugs or disease, it's really hard to keep going. But next year I will come back stronger and trying something else. Thank you for making these videos and inspiring a lot of us! ❤
I know what you mean. Besides the weather, I had trouble with birds, cats, squirrels, rabbits, deer, and some mystery animal that left large feces in the garden. I planted cantaloupe and watermelons three or four times and each time it got eaten even though I tried adding a makeshift netting. I've never had so much trouble with animals eating my garden before (I'm in a somewhat tightly packed suburb)--the deer even ate the tops off my jalepeño pants... I did manage to get wonderful mustard greens, very late snap peas, tomatoes, and raspberries though.
If your garden is covered with snails, dry the eggshells and crush them and spread them all over the garden.
This year I tried winter sowing my tomatoes. Had such a good batch...and the first planting got eaten up by rabbits and deer. I had to wait till like June before they would stop eating my plants whole. In the meantime I did drop by Walmart to pick up some plants, but the deer decided to top them for me 🤦♀️. And then we got a random beaver wandering around the zucchini. Still don't know if it ate my first batch or if it was the bunnies. I've learned that I probably shouldn't plant my tomatoes too early
Had the opposite problem, no rain and (this will sound weird) no hot days. Deer were terrible eating my beans, broccoli, cabbage & tomatoes. Its a struggle, but you learn from it.
@@jennychen2636 Learn to do what farmers do set up traps to catch bunnies. Free meat !
deer ? set up cctv to find when they come and shoot them down . free meat for the freezer. share it with the hunter if you cannot hunt
Your tomatoes are amazing, your whole garden is inspirational... thank you,
Always try your own way! Look how great you did!
Of all the gardening channels, the food forest concept appeals the most to me.
Your enthusiasm is contagious! I love the way Tuck looks at you. ❤❤
Thank you Tuck and James Tuck and James we out🤎🤍🤎🤍🤎🤍🤎🤍🤎🤍🤎🤍🖤
❤❤❤ Who doesn’t love Tuck? He’s tooooo cute. 🥰❤️❤️❤️ Your garden is a dream. It just shows what a little elbow grease and a whole lot of perseverance can and will do.
this channel gives me strong hope
Let's Gooo!!!
You are one of our inspirations re gardening 😊❤. Watching from Jamaica.
I am inspired by the joy you have in utilizing the earth. I can’t help smiling at your enthusiasm.
I’m commenting live, from Jersey!
My wife and I are on our way to NYC for our anniversary, and stayed the night in your neck of the woods last night after a 16 hour drive.
The garden looks great. Tuck is the architect, scientist, and head of security. James has the privilege of making Tuck’s dream come to life.
Keep the Garden State of Mind alive!
How is there no pest or disease damage, anywhere?! Im aware of the kaolin clay on the fruit trees and the insect netting over some of the beds, but what about the squash, cucumbers, grapes? Mine have all the problems! Everything is so beautiful! I love watching these videos during supper time with the family! ❤
I JUST FELL IN LOVE!!!!! YOUR FOOD FOREST LOOKS LIKE A PIECE OF HEAVEN. I PRAY FOR A TINY PIECE OF LAND EVERY DAY WHILE ENJOYING MY PLOT PLANTING.
Your enthusiasm is contagious! I love the way Tuck looks at you. ❤❤ You're right, nature does some surprising and beautiful planting. Our vegatable garden is right off of our back patio and this year's beautiful marigold plants (I always plant marigolds with the veggies) were all volunteers. Diversity of plants makes for healthier, and much more interesting, gardens. 👍🏻😊 20:09
You have the coolest backyard food forest ever! We all need to do this
So much food! So much knowledge! Thanks James! Plus, you are a local! It’s so encouraging. We love you, Tuck 💓💓💓💓💓💓💓
Your garden is a DREAM❤Goals !!!!
I am so happy to see Tuck. ❤
You and tuck are true leaders great food forest James. 💚
Dealing with deformation of character has not been easy, gardeners have been the angles of my immediate family's lives.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I respect all the work you and Tuck put into all this work. Thank you. ❤❤❤
Holy moly! What a full and beautiful garden.
I would love to see the harvest you get from this. Amazing work!
You literally have a small forest of food, this is very cool!
You and tuck are my motivation! It was a complete disaster this time, but i will carry on!! 😊❤❤
❤❤❤ For Tuck❤❤❤
My dog boo has been watching Tuck too much. She now steals tomatoes off the vine. Lol ❤❤ Tuck ❤❤
Absolutely AMAZING!!! I can only aspire to have such an amazing garden someday.
❤️🐕💖 for Tuck!
Your garden is absolutely stunning James and Tucker! 😍🙌🍅
💗💗💗💗💗 for Tuck. Another great video, full of inspiration.
Have a beautiful day.
Your garden is absolutely beautiful! All the good work you've put in, and the care, shows. Please continue to do great work and share your tips and knowledge with us, it's an inspiration.
Love your enthusiasm and creativity!
As you said, it's unbelievable. You are so inspiring, and I love your enthusiasm. I have a large front lawn that I am no longer allowed to water (no rain for weeks). But edible plants have no watering restrictions, so maybe it's time to put that space to a much better use!
What a great idea! I think that eventually we’re all going to have to give up our regular lawns. Even though we have free water from a well, we never installed sprinklers or sod. I’m growing all native grass and mostly native plants, plus the vegetable gardens. It takes a while for things to look good but it’s ultimately cheaper & easier. We save $$$ just by not needing a lawn care company- and all the chemicals! I mow my native lawn about 3 times each summer.
You can always start small - with an edible border, for example, near your entry way, and shade from fruit trees, or nut trees.
James, you have so much joy and energy sharing the growth and knowledge of the garden...
Tuck is the accent of your accomplshment, together.
Tuck spotted being a pretty good guy at 6:46 🐕 💘💝💖💗💓❣❤❤❤
This is beautiful! That lil Tuck is so precious.
This is one of my most favourite gardens. Imitating nature on a small scale and guiding the plants so that one doesn't dominate, instead each complements the others. I"m trying to do this on an even smaller scale
Tuck you are so adorable,such a good boy !😍Love you!
Very very beautiful! Good job!
So incredibly proud of your journey thus far been watching from the begining (2012)and WOW, this year is truly a reward for all the years of work put in. I remember when you planted those fruit trees where just twigs❤So so happy for you! ❤
This year looks insanely dense. SO MUCH crammed in there
Loved this video and tour of all seven levels in your two food forests.. More videos like this would be great - maybe seasonally?
I love your food forest garden! Could you talk about how you fertilize your garden? Also, how you amended your soil?
Look back at some of his old videos to see some of how he improved his soil. He used thick layers of mulch that have decomposed adding compost to his soil. It would be interesting to get an update video on what he's been doing more recently to amend his soil though.
Your food forest is fantastic. The flowers bring even more harmony to it. Beautiful. Great work.
Again my girls and i have learned alot! Our fave part is when you sit down at the end for a chat. My four year old has her own birdies garden bed and she planted a huge range of veggies, herbs and flowers and cucumbers even brasicas and kohl rabi , beans etc really just tighter than the square foot method and everything has been growing really well! The pests are confused and the bees are happy and she even then went and planted raddishes and lettuce under all that so it was under the shade of other plants and are protected.. this is all thanks to you boys and watching you push the boundaries and trust in nature sometimes. Now we are off to harvest some tuckie beans! ❤❤❤❤ For Tuckie and James!
I ❤ Tuck! He’s a perfect blend and protector to your permaculture.
Your enthusiasm is contagious! Thanks!
The easy path makes most rivers and men crooked is what James echoed long ago. 💪🏻Well done James! You’re a great example people need.
That sunflower 🌻 is absolutely gorgeous!!!
More and more of us are finding out about the wisdom of so-called experts. God Bless!
I remember when you built this raised bed , it is so nice that you can rest on the bed and visit with us!
I look forward to seeing your videos, they are great. I watch for Tuck, he is a beautiful dog. keep them coming,
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤love tuck and everything u do it looks like a food heaven
Beautiful garden. That sunflower is amazing.
The little boss needs more frequent attention to his eyes but the garden and your words are so inspiring !❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤to Tuck !
Absolutely awesome video!!! Your food forest is incredibly beautiful, dynamic and inspiring!!! Thank you James and much love to you & sweet Tuck♥️♥️♥️
James you and Tuck garden is blooming and I am learning alot the way you plant could not ask for anything more I have a little garden I enjoy planting and reaping ❤ thanks for sharing buddies happy planting
I've been dreaming about this style of gardening for years. I've never had the space but it is wonderful to someone else do it. I don't understand why more people don't garden this way. It's most close to how plants grow in nature.
True master gardener !!!! Bravo
Magical garden James!
Canopy, subcanopy, bush, herbaceous, climbers, ground cover, root crops.
Your garden and the wisdom and enthusiasm you have for it is an inspiration!!! I always learn something, so thank you!!!
And Tuck? You're the best Garden Guardian EVER! Keep up the great work!!!
The other day you shared using rollers to support tomato plants. With your inspiration I sourced/ repurposed at our own farm 10 ft PVC pipes that I had used to teach horseback riding lessons and T posts used for fencing. All I needed was the PVC connections and the wonderful tomato hangers, zip ties and, well, your inspiration! I was able to source to rollers and clips ( a must have) . I just reordered more rollers because of my non organization earlier there are a bunch to be wrangled albeit carefully!
I'm not sure where Tuck got all his knowledge from, but the garden is so very lovely : )
I see your garden and get inspired all over again! This is my second year of gardening. Lately I have been fighting insects ,cabbage worms, Blight and Powdery Mildew. I wanted to throw in the towel and then see you and Tuck never giving up. 😊👍
I've been completely inspired by your videos over the last few years. This year was our first full summer in our new home. We immediately started our foundation of fruit trees. We had an existing peach tree, added another variety plus apples, pears, plums, and cherries. We can't wait for them to provide food in the future. Thanks for your videos and your enthusiasm.
Tuck is soooo darn sweet!!❤❤❤❤❤ love all you guys do!!
I'm so envious. I love to see this. It is proof that rows of moncropped produce is superfluous. I hear arguments that it can't work on large scale. That is good, I think. What if we broke up huge corporate, or corporate pushed, monocropped areas into many smaller plots that incorporated these principles, along with some wilded spaces? Maybe people could rent the lands and get the same corporate subsidies to help folks learn and develop the areas.
I am only allowed a small 4x4 space. I keep trying to impress some ideas on management.
I think long term it would provide more output as the land would be self feeding in many ways and not have to have the petroleum based fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides, and compaction to deal with. Yeah there will be issues and challenges but like mollison and Lawton say, the solutions lie in the problems. I think it would be positive for humans as well who work it and lease or lease to own ( like corporations would allow that) as their personal health can't help but become better.
❤❤❤❤ for you and Tuck!
❤you really got it growing on ,give tuck cuddles for me and the boys ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤gotta get out there and finish planting all these seeds😅
We grow haskaps and strawberries at the feet of some dwarf apple and plum trees, and by the time the berries are done being picked the melons are ready to sprawl that area. All we do is allow the leaf litter to overwinter on the beds (maple trees = loads of leaves) and by spring they are so dry they basically disintegrate on their own, so we just blend them back into the ground. Then we add a good forest mulch on top, and throw in some chicken manure to jumpstart the strawberries. The plants all seem to grow and produce fine year after year, and have done so for the past 6 years.
I have joined the food forest themed yard. I live in a town house and maximized my growing space in my yard every year. Love your channel. You are a blessing to all who know what it means to grow your own food. It’s a life skill. Thank you for your content. My dad as I have told you in previous posts was like this and we still 3 years after he has passed have a food Oasis on my parents property.
Tuck is the cucumber king. I have not seen a dog that likes to eat cucumbers so much!
I also love your explanation and perfect example of a permaculture. Your explanation of beneficial connections really struck a cord for me too. It doesn’t just apply to gardening, but the workplace and life in general. It explains our interconnections, just like the connections of the roots of trees and plants, in a forest. Anyway, it’s what differentiates a healthy environment from a toxic one.
That's one cute puppy! Tuck too!😉
Never intended to have a food forest myself. But... that first cherry tree led to birthday blueberry bushes. I think I'm getting birthday raspberries and blackberries this year. Next year I want a dwarf banana tree. So...looks like I'm gonna have a bit of a food forest. I'm loving every minute of it.
❤️ for nice video and Tuck 😊
I’d love to see a video of just all the things that self seeded/volunteered! That was so much fun to see some of those!

Awe. How I wish that was my food forest. And Hey KUDOs to the Camara Person. Great Job. Perfect picturing with the explaining. (not the right word) Commentarying lol idk what's the word? Telling the story of my Food Forest.. love it guys. Great Job and of course it wouldn't be possible without Tuck... God is amazing. All Glory be to God 🙏❤️🙋🏼♀️. Love you All.
💚 Beautiful, multi-level Food Forest! One thing you rarely mention, is what you DO with all that abundance? Do you freeze, freeze-dry, can, sell to a restaurant, give away, do a CSA, donate to food bank? 💚
I thought it would be a tomato growing method that he was told wouldn't work. This is good too of course :)
Nice work ❤❤
Bless your heart you are doing an amazing job, it looks beautiful❤
Your food forest is absolutely incredible!
In the winter can you show us a tour of your seed collection and/or what you plan to plant in the spring? Thanks!
Thank you James and Tuck! ❤
Beautiful green space
Tuck is adorable!
James tener un jardín debe ser terapéutico !!!
That sunflower is unreal!!! So much beauty. The black strawberry tomatoes are so beautiful. Always enjoy our Tuck.
❤❤❤ for Tuck!
@jamesprigioni how in the world do you provide water for everything you are growing?! We are in north Louisiana where the temperatures are in the 100+. Absolutely no rain in sight especially in July and August. It is SUPER dry here. Having to water some crops daily. ❤❤❤’s for both you and Tuck! Love your channel!!!
He's in NJ so water is significantly less of a concern for him than for you. I'm in nearby PA and we did have some really dry periods but I don't think it compares to what you probably experience. Plus he has great soil with tons of organic matter and he uses mulch.
❤❤❤❤
@@theaconite1400 thank you so much for your response/feedback!! I have mulch in some areas and it does really help. I have also had to add some shade cloth and it has helped as well!
@@mthomas. I think he uses wood chips, not "mulch" per se.
@@oliveater2358 Good to know. Thank you!
