Darrell has been such an inspiration to my family for years. We hope to meet him someday. We live in the foothills of Northwest Georgia and planted at least 7 different varieties of bamboo along the edges of our forest. In the early years, we actually killed bamboo plants, and it took quite a long while to get it established, and we've had it for 7 years and it is just beginning to really fill out into a gorgeous bamboo grove. This is the 1st year we've been able to comfortably use the culms for trellises and fencing. If you have the land, it is extremely valuable. We now hear new species of birds in the grove that we haven't heard in previous years, and it is the most cool, enjoyable place on our property to be on those hot, miserable muggy summer days.
Wonderful! His bamboo took a hit this past winter. Did you see my last video with him? www.clarksvilleonline.com/2024/04/18/meet-clarksvilles-own-mad-herbalist/
@@Latebloomershow A warm breeze passed by that wasn't you. Still, I don't believe it isn't true. A tornado whips through, thank God, not you. Still can't believe most of what's true.
I have been saying for YEARS now, the skills that are shown here really need to be incorporated into our schools. Schools usually have plenty of ground available. Even home schoolers should be educated with these skills. Gets the kids outside and busy doing something they can be proud of. Life skills matter. Lost art almost. Thanks for sharing Darrell's garden and tips.
Indeed, Aunt Jenny. Before the educational system was turned on its head in the recent two years, (indoctrination was already happening just not in our faces), and teaching life skills in class is a thing of the past. I remember 15 years ago helping in a school garden and was told by teachers (who have no more personal time to give outside class) that it depended on the parents, mostly women who have the luxury of not having to work one or two jobs who can come to schools and help develop and maintain gardens. And the success of the garden would change from class to class. I filmed a couple of school garden videos on one of the travel videos I used to do. There was an inspired group who developed a space beside the school in VA, but it's hard to keep things going when parents don't have the time or interest. Also, many people eat fast foods and processed foods, which doesn't help the mind to recognize the importance of healthy home-grown food. God bless.
@@Latebloomershow Yes, I can see the difficulty in maintaining consistency in a program of that sort. I do see the need today due to our food supply chain issues. Might be great to send to some Home School groups to play for their kids and invite participation. Then they can send in their videos. I, again, thank you both for the great video.
I love your garden, how it's full of mysteries and surprises and a sort of randomness, letting nature (moths to voles to deer) have their day as well. I get discouraged seeing videos of spotless vegetables in serried ranks, but my garden attempts are closer to yours - and yours made it onto TH-cam! It's like art - there's not one right way, except the enjoyable way. Thank you for reminding me of that!
Thanks so much for watching @S Clark ! You can see more of my friend Darrell's garden in the playlist: th-cam.com/play/PL7KEhv2No0ICNM51j0jPUeEGunhCX4-xb.html
Who else is from a far away big city in another state watching these people be adorable with their accents over plants? Its so nice to see people appreciating ornamental and edible plants all over :) Really, really cool to see plants from my mom's country in TN!!!
He is full of love for gardening. Please join my Tuesday livestreams at 5PM CST (if you haven't already) as he is always on and full of fun comments and jokes.
Yes, and he will be returning to my place tomorrow to build a bamboo teepee trellis. Stay tuned! And in the meantime, here are a few more of Darrell: th-cam.com/play/PL7KEhv2No0ICNM51j0jPUeEGunhCX4-xb.html
I'd love to see him have a learning and working retreat. He could have 2-4 people stay, maybe in a yurt on his property (?) for a few weeks. What a joy that would be.
This variety of Elephant Ears is not merely ornamental. The entire plant is used as food. Its leaves and stalk make a delicious soup or side dish. The root is steamed and used as a staple and forms the base for salads, pies, flat bread or just as is. Delicious!
Daniel's gardens are a little piece of Heaven here on earth. Beauty in every direction. And it's food♡♡♡ Thank you for a wonderful visit to Daniel's homestead♡
Darrell 😀 Thanks! He calls it bamboo oasis and you can see more of his garden in those cards the white cards that flash on the top right during the video. You can see it in the winter and in the spring
I lined up bales of hay that had been seating at a wedding in 2long rows on edge. Then pulled the hay apart a bit just to tuck in a cup of soil & a hosta or sedum baby. Egyptian onions, rose & lilac cuttings. The hay took care of everything on it's own....over the last couple of years it has decomposed to quarter height & the plants have become huge healthy plants to take to my daughter's new house where she will start gardens. STRAW that I had left over from my hens needs....it all started to grow in amongst the huge pots i lined trying to save on soil....and in the new beds around the patio I built last year. Just as bad as couch grass! Had to repot almost all of the 300 big pots I'd got ready to move to my daughter's. Thought it would be easier on the back w. less soil in those big pots....6 kiddie pools full and all around the woodpile & house foundation & infront of a fence...all will go! Too bad that most have bloomed already except the Deutzia & Lilies.
You don't need a 16 ft flatbed to bring home a cattle panel. When you buy one, bring a large carabeener or some kind of clip (bailing twine works in a pinch). You can roll up a 16 ft cattle panel and tie it up in an 8 f5 truck bed.
I just wanted to tell your viewers you don’t need a flat bed trailer for cattle panels or what we call hog panels. Same difference. You just tie it up. Mine came tied into a circle with something sturdy. You can get it home in a regular bed easily. Just be careful releasing them, it’ll take two of you. Good video. 👍🏼
I'm going to try bringing one or more Cattle Panels home w/ a pickup truck, rolling & tying a yoga mat across the top of the cab so it can rest across it without scratching the paint, then lace rope-ties across the bed to secure it to the truck frame. They are 16' long and 4'4" tall.
@@Latebloomershow Consider getting ducks if you have enough room for the mess they make from their water. They are less susceptible to disease, very cold tolerant, and their eggs are even healthier. Plus, if there is a shortage of fats and oils you can harvest duck fat. They have more than chickens do.
Daryl is right about bamboo, we have to welcome all types of plants. Bamboo is versatile, you can eat it, use it as building material, furniture, and in the garden, for fences, trellis, etc. If it spreads, but it off and use it anything you want and it’s free!!!
Thanks for this video! He is very knowledgeable and full of energy! Does he sell his food? Surely he can’t preserve it all. Seems like it would take all your time just taking care of it all.
Makes me miss my dad he to was great with plants. People would bring him their half dead plants and he would bring them back to life. He was all about making use of found things in the yard or garden.
We just bought a property in the Karns area in TN, with 1.25 of an acres. I am so excited to start my garden. We are blessed with all types of pines, cedar, and dogwoods all through the property. We even have an exotic flowering bamboo. It is stunning all through the fall with pink to red blooms.
Wonderful! Remember if you plant apple trees to get rust resistant varieties as they get it from the cedar trees. Are you anywhere near Lebanon or Cookeville?
@@Latebloomershow Thank you for letting me know. We lived in FL and it's a whole new ballgame in TN. I am trying to learn as much as possible on what to plant. We have a planted a peach tree far from the other trees so far. Getting readying for spring planting.
A man after my heart ❤️ I'm starting my own rock garden here in Western Colorado. I don't know what I'm doing, but rocks are so so easy to work with. Their natural beauty can't be hidden. Thanks 😘
Agree!! I wish I had the patience to work with rocks like he does. First of all, they are just too heavy for me. I have plenty here as well and would love some walls made, but the way he does it, it takes thoughtful meditation to get it right. I could never afford to pay someone to do what he does. Thanks for watching. If you'd like to see more videos I've done at his place, here's the playlist: th-cam.com/play/PL7KEhv2No0ICNM51j0jPUeEGunhCX4-xb.html
I love the instrument you played, beautiful sound. When I was a child my brother and I had a garden out of necessity. Then later when I married my husband and I had gardens . Now that I'm sick and alone, I can't do the things I love to do any more. But it's nice to be able to see someone else do it.
@@dianamorgan9562 can you get organic raw Noni juice , and ionic / colloidal nano silver? both of those help heal body cells and eliminate the toxins and cancer / germ cells. use organic green juice with fruit in it. certified organic is important. Jesus is our Healer, i hope you are talking to/ listening to Him.
I wish I could get it..our Walmart sells Noni juice, not sure if its organic or not. About the silver, I probably couldn't afford that, if someone did sell it here. This town has less than 5,000 people in it.
Kaye Kittrell Late Bloomer; I loved this gardening video. I’m an #organic, #Heirloomseedsaver, gardener. It’s great to see others who are going back to the old ways.
Just found your channel I’m from SoCal my sister in law lives in Rock Island, TN from CA been there 20+ years my nephew just moved to Murfreesboro TN this year build their dream home. I would love to learn to help him with canning his beans. My hubby and I are retired I’m 70, he’s 74, just a lazy life in SoCal lol.
Heads up..i beleive the ‘elephant ear’ decorative with the big roots is dasheen. Very edible and delicious nutrious root. If he would post a pic of the root..to be sure. Big part of Caribbean cooking.
We bought a 16’ cattle panel at Tractor Supply to use as an arch for running pole beans and peas. They placed it on it’s side edge, bowed in half, and put it in the back of our truck, it has an 8’ truck bed. Of course we used several tie downs and drove slowly.
If you call ahead they will prep a bunch of them into a big teardrop wired to keep them secure then they will use the forklift to load in your truck bed. My son picked up 8 for me with no problem in his regular bed pickup
We move the 16 foot cattle panels by putting them into the back of the pick up tented up like the hoop that you will be using them for in application. And then we just use tiedowns to hold them in place while driving…;)
You are sooo knowledgeable about your plants, WOW 😲 amazing, I am inspired to grow my garden bigger, and better, thank you for sharing, and caring, blessed be 😇😇😇
Q You can put cattle panels 16 feet in the back of a pick up truck by just arching them and of course tie it so it doesn’t fall out but it will stay in the truck . I’ll bring them home all the time they’re great
Thank you, T.T. Love. A little slice of paradise is exactly how I think of it. I don't like to leave here at all and when I do, I'm always in a hurry to get back.
Thank you! This was a lot of fun to watch. This man surely knows his way around the garden in a natural way. Scott Head spoke highly of your channel and I came over. You do a great interview!
Welcome!! Thanks so much! I’ve interviewed many. You might enjoy my visits to (recently departed) OAG Old Alabama Gardener. th-cam.com/play/PL7KEhv2No0IAtHLWbQbabMsmndMZc4ePx.html
Wonderful! I have made other videos with Darrell which you can see here: th-cam.com/play/PL7KEhv2No0ICNM51j0jPUeEGunhCX4-xb.html and of course I'm building an even bigger garden than Darrell. :)
This was informative, interesting & well presented. Darrell is a great teacher & gardener. I was inspired. He has a gift to do what he does, he's very good at it.
@@darrellluck7230 yes. And the bulbed roots are call Dasheen. It it famous here. I've watched many videos from the US and it's the first time seeing someone with a plant. Its amazing. Keep up the great work. You've inspired me to build a tipi. ❤ from the caribbean.
Bamboo is a grass. Fastest growing and tallest grass, so it will spread like grass. But you can harvest it and, because of its tensile strength, use it as scaffolding as we do in the Tropics!😉👍
It is called a hand pan. They are quite expensive. Mine is a lower priced one made in Vietnam. I am happy with the quality. Relatively newly-invented and awesome instrument.
I know the feeling! If I wasn't making videos about it, I'd use all that time gardening. Thanks for finding my channel. Are you new here? If so, welcome!
That reminds me, my first year of this channel I toured a family farm in N. California, and she grew brassicas inside her chicken run. She also had her compost bins in there. I think they would get ravaged by predators here. In fact, Darrell's chicken run is completely fenced, top and sides with double fence. This is why I have not ventured into having chickens, but now with this avian flu business, I wish I had!
@@darrellluck7230 I'm just watching this video now in March '23, from the UK. You are such an inspiration Darrell - thank you for sharing such a wealth of knowledge and your amazing garden. Do you have your own channel or website?
You can put cattle panels in a small truck. All you have to do is tie them in a circle and stand them up in your truck bed. I've moved them in my small Ford ranger truck.
Wow, right down the road. Gainesboro here. I tell people all the time that we breed rocks very well in middle TN. We have 100 acre farm out here. I'm about to get kale, peas, asian cabbages, and brassicas going for the winter. I build my tomato cages the same way. I drop them over the hydroponic buckets and peppers are happy as well. I have a teepee for squashes, cukes, and melons. We raise meat rabbits along with other critters. We started with rabbits for the manure that really super powers the raised beds. Our herds of 15+ deer eat EVERYTHING. Tomatoes, peppers, squash, melons, you name it all the way to the ground, the entire plant. Agastache is a good plant for butterflies and bees. Just be careful with it, it can spread easily. It is kinda funny, Baxter and Cookeville got so much rain this year and we were missed with most of it. He isn't lying, our farm is ½ mile from the Cumberland river and a creek flows through the middle of the property. We have privet, japanese honeysuckle, and callary pear all over. Him and Roger Payne(used to run Miracle Mountain Farms)would probably get along quite well. I have lambsquarter, red veined sorrel, wood sorrel, and purslane all growing that I planted.
Hey, there, I did see this comment when it came in, but thought Darrell would respond. Also, I got behind on comments. I would love to come up and see your farm whenever you think it's the best time. Sounds just as wild and amazing as Darrell's place. Please send me an email to Kaye at late bloomer show dot com and connect. If I don't respond within a week, please send again. It's the holidays, I have company coming and am swamped with work since my helper left. God bless. (bty, I need help here if you can recommend someone reliable and good, we can discuss on email. )
I have black coat runner which looks just like scarlet runner. I let them grow up the Ti plants we have. It’s like a natural trellis. I am planting some sunset and scarlet runner tonight after the kids go to bed. I do A LOT of my gardening at night. When the moon is full I don’t need any additional light. It’s kinda romantic in a way. The sounds of the waves and the still of the night. I just quietly sow seeds everywhere. I sometimes forgot what exactly it was I planted. I know when I start Flower Farming things wont be so relaxed so I’m enjoying the moment.
I'd like to do that Just travel around looking at people's gardens to get ideas and learn what others are doing! Appreciate you bring your travels to us to learn! I want some rocks here Lol and how I want to do some beds!
That was very interesting about using the hay instead of straw, never heard. Gobbs! I took my nephew,when I lived in Florida, we went and cut bamboo roots. That's a hard thing to do He was a strong guy too with an axe. I planted it spread slowly over a year or so The Jacaranda was incredibly fast growing I bought that tree it was a lovely tree. I moved to Kentucky about that time. I love Bamboo, this was the very Large type. The only problem was wasps. Wonder if Daryl has wasp problems and how he handles them. I had also seen in Lake Wales an entire back yard fenced with the small bamboo Darrell mentioned. It looked great they had paths in it it was great for privacy and you don't have to mow. With the large bamboo you have to be careful where you plant it my nephew took some but put it too close to the house was starting to grow under the house foundation. He chopped it back though looked great in front yard though.
@@TheRedverb I went to one of the Orchestra type concerts once My first visit to Bok Tower. Gardens was at age 18 Or 19 years old, I have a photo at the water looking down at the Tower. It was always such a peaceful, tranquil place for me and the hiking paths with all the nature "Window By The Pond" I have also toured the Home at Christmas. I am now sixty four but visited many times over.many years. Happy memories with my Mother and Grand mother there.I recall some Bamboo there in the landscaping.
Hay makes great garden beds. Where I put round bales for my horses, there is left a big ring of hay. The next year it is still decomposing, but the year after that it will be black topsoil and grow whatever seeds land in it + hay. If I don't have coastal in an area, I'll set the round bales there so that it will fill in. I take the old hay and bed the duck house with it. Then when I clean the duck house, I put that hay in the compost pile. This year, I bought huge crates - metal frames with wood sides and bottom. I put branches and pieces of tree trunks in the bottom. Then alternated layers of grass/clover/weeds caught in my lawnmower catcher and duck-saturated hay. Before I could even put any soil on top, a volunteer squash came up. The plant is HUGE and took over the entire 44x33x32 deep crate. The leaves are HUGE. And it is growing up on the trellis, too. I let the first fruit grow large because I wasn't sure what it was. Now I think it is a Costata Romanesco Zucchini from High Mowing Seed. The inside is golden, but I can't tell from the website or package whether that is normal for that or not. Now what I really want to do is create a hay ring from a round bale and build one of his bean teepees over it. :-) .

Elephant ears 👂 are not only ornamental, you can eat the roots. And the roots grows other roots around and they are edible. Love your garden!
What do they taste like ?
How do you cook them ?
Yes following as I have many elephant plants !!! Oh my they multiply !!!
what a lovely energetic old guy. Beautiful white hair. oh and the garden is cool too.
Old !!!???!!! Glad you liked the garden.

Yes! Gardens have that effect!
Yes i love his excitement throughout.It was beautiful.
Thank you!
This is amazing. I totally am speechless with the beauty and diversity of this garden.
He's really good at that. Mixes things up, works visually, as well as smartly. I hope to have some of his wisdom rub off on me.
What a champion this man is 🌞❤️🌱🍻
Thank you for taking the time out to show his wound to us all 🧬🌱❤️
This year he injured his wrist and had to plant the whole garden with one hand and a trowel. He's suggesting I do a video of him demonstrating that.
You don't need a 16 ft flatbed to bring home a cattle panel. When you buy one, bring a large carabeener or some kind of clip (bailing twine works in a pinch). You can roll up a 16 ft cattle panel and tie it up in an 8 f5 truck bed.
Great tip for making tomato cages - def will try that!
On behalf of the birds, NO, he does not need a CAT!🙀😼😾
Wow that Oriental music 🎶 is very pretty and matches the bamboo decor out on the porch. Darryl, you are so talented.
I just wanted to tell your viewers you don’t need a flat bed trailer for cattle panels or what we call hog panels. Same difference. You just tie it up. Mine came tied into a circle with something sturdy. You can get it home in a regular bed easily. Just be careful releasing them, it’ll take two of you. Good video. 👍🏼
I'm going to try bringing one or more Cattle Panels home w/ a pickup truck, rolling & tying a yoga mat across the top of the cab so it can rest across it without scratching the paint, then lace rope-ties across the bed to secure it to the truck frame. They are 16' long and 4'4" tall.
I subscribed because of him. I'll be watching the July garden tour soon.
I have many videos with Darrell as he is not tech savvy enough to do his own channel and has much to offer.
We got slammed with Japanese beetles this year in TN. I hand picked them off and gave them to my very happy hens 😂
Hope to have chickens in the spring but I am going to try to have a chicken tractor if that’s possible on a sloped yard I don’t know
Me, too. Giving those chickens those beetles.
I did also in Nova Scotia I used bright yellow cups with water, veg oil ,and dawn dish soap it helped a lot
@@Latebloomershow Consider getting ducks if you have enough room for the mess they make from their water. They are less susceptible to disease, very cold tolerant, and their eggs are even healthier. Plus, if there is a shortage of fats and oils you can harvest duck fat. They have more than chickens do.
Thanks to you guys i cut my dead bamboo and tomorrow will make a bamboo teppee trellis for my kiwi
Yay!!
Daryl is right about bamboo, we have to welcome all types of plants. Bamboo is versatile, you can eat it, use it as building material, furniture, and in the garden, for fences, trellis, etc. If it spreads, but it off and use it anything you want and it’s free!!!
I’m from Illinois. We call it creeping Charlie and your right!!! It’s a total pain in the butt!! I have my yard sprayed by true green to get rid of it
Absolutely love the teepee and his garden. Is it possible for Darryl to illustrate how to setup the teepee?
There will be a video sometime soon where I will set-up a teepee on Kaye's property. I'll tell you everything you need to know.
We didn't get a chance to do that this past year, so it will have to be in the spring.
Thanks for this video! He is very knowledgeable and full of energy! Does he sell his food? Surely he can’t preserve it all. Seems like it would take all your time just taking care of it all.
Well, he's retired and taking care of his mother, but he's very good about preserving what the squirrels and pests don't get.
Makes me miss my dad he to was great with plants. People would bring him their half dead plants and he would bring them back to life.
He was all about making use of found things in the yard or garden.
The most satisfying part of this video was when he pulled up the Johnson grass! That was great!
Yes, because it came up so easily, which means he has wonderful, loose soil, not hard clay like me.
You are absolutely right about canebreaks. I was grown before I ever saw a rod and rill. We cut a fishing pole and tied line on it.
Hi pretty lady. how are you doing today?
We just bought a property in the Karns area in TN, with 1.25 of an acres. I am so excited to start my garden. We are blessed with all types of pines, cedar, and dogwoods all through the property. We even have an exotic flowering bamboo. It is stunning all through the fall with pink to red blooms.
Wonderful! Remember if you plant apple trees to get rust resistant varieties as they get it from the cedar trees. Are you anywhere near Lebanon or Cookeville?
@@Latebloomershow Thank you for letting me know. We lived in FL and it's a whole new ballgame in TN. I am trying to learn as much as possible on what to plant. We have a planted a peach tree far from the other trees so far. Getting readying for spring planting.
LOL... the dreaded canning... I think we all feel the same way about canning, but I sure am glad I force myself to do it.
A man after my heart ❤️ I'm starting my own rock garden here in Western Colorado. I don't know what I'm doing, but rocks are so so easy to work with. Their natural beauty can't be hidden. Thanks 😘
Agree!! I wish I had the patience to work with rocks like he does. First of all, they are just too heavy for me. I have plenty here as well and would love some walls made, but the way he does it, it takes thoughtful meditation to get it right. I could never afford to pay someone to do what he does. Thanks for watching. If you'd like to see more videos I've done at his place, here's the playlist: th-cam.com/play/PL7KEhv2No0ICNM51j0jPUeEGunhCX4-xb.html
That is the prettiest berry I've ever seen. I wonder how they'd do in Eastern Washington? And we get tons of stink bugs
I love the instrument you played, beautiful sound. When I was a child my brother and I had a garden out of necessity. Then later when I married my husband and I had gardens . Now that I'm sick and alone, I can't do the things I love to do any more. But it's nice to be able to see someone else do it.
Diana, I pray for your complete recovery. I am alone so I know all about that but I do hope you get much better and very soon.🙏🏻
@@Latebloomershow Thank you for your prayers, I can sure use them. I have end stage Cancer and living in at home Hospice.
@@dianamorgan9562 can you get organic raw Noni juice , and ionic / colloidal nano silver? both of those help heal body cells and eliminate the toxins and cancer / germ cells. use organic green juice with fruit in it. certified organic is important. Jesus is our Healer, i hope you are talking to/ listening to Him.
I wish I could get it..our Walmart sells Noni juice, not sure if its organic or not. About the silver, I probably couldn't afford that, if someone did sell it here. This town has less than 5,000 people in it.
Diana Morgan I lifted you up to the Father. Your story touched my soul.
Absolutely paradise. Love the bamboo!
Thank you!
Awesome garden and tour. Thanks 👍
Thanks for watching!
Kaye Kittrell Late Bloomer; I loved this gardening video. I’m an #organic, #Heirloomseedsaver, gardener. It’s great to see others who are going back to the old ways.
Just found your channel I’m from SoCal my sister in law lives in Rock Island, TN from CA been there 20+ years my nephew just moved to Murfreesboro TN this year build their dream home. I would love to learn to help him with canning his beans. My hubby and I are retired I’m 70, he’s 74, just a lazy life in SoCal lol.
Heads up..i beleive the ‘elephant ear’ decorative with the big roots is dasheen. Very edible and delicious nutrious root. If he would post a pic of the root..to be sure.
Big part of Caribbean cooking.
We bought a 16’ cattle panel at Tractor Supply to use as an arch for running pole beans and peas. They placed it on it’s side edge, bowed in half, and put it in the back of our truck, it has an 8’ truck bed. Of course we used several tie downs and drove slowly.
I did a whole acre in cattle panel for my goats. The hardest part about working with the panels is that they're so bendy.
That's how all kinds of farmers and gardeners bring them home, a regular truck bed will do it! You can get several this way.
If you call ahead they will prep a bunch of them into a big teardrop wired to keep them secure then they will use the forklift to load in your truck bed. My son picked up 8 for me with no problem in his regular bed pickup
We move the 16 foot cattle panels by putting them into the back of the pick up tented up like the hoop that you will be using them for in application. And then we just use tiedowns to hold them in place while driving…;)
You can eat the banana trunk core. Sautéed in butter it is delicious.
Thanks, didn't know that. I will give it a try. That could change how I do things around here!
You are sooo knowledgeable about your plants, WOW 😲 amazing, I am inspired to grow my garden bigger, and better, thank you for sharing, and caring, blessed be 😇😇😇
Thank you so much. And, yeah, grow your garden bigger and better. Good luck!
You are so welcome!
You have to collect the seeds of the canna plants to keep them under control. You can even sell the extra seeds too.
Love that he plays the hang drum ❤
Jason at
COG HILL FAMILY FARM hangs prayer flags above his garden to keep deer out.
Q You can put cattle panels 16 feet in the back of a pick up truck by just arching them and of course tie it so it doesn’t fall out but it will stay in the truck . I’ll bring them home all the time they’re great
What a charming gentleman. I love his little slice of paradise, beautiful!
Thank you, T.T. Love. A little slice of paradise is exactly how I think of it. I don't like to leave here at all and when I do, I'm always in a hurry to get back.
Thank you! This was a lot of fun to watch. This man surely knows his way around the garden in a natural way. Scott Head spoke highly of your channel and I came over. You do a great interview!
Welcome!! Thanks so much! I’ve interviewed many. You might enjoy my visits to (recently departed) OAG Old Alabama Gardener. th-cam.com/play/PL7KEhv2No0IAtHLWbQbabMsmndMZc4ePx.html
@29:47 Those Look Like Gems .. WOW..!
I thought that when I was filming! I had to get a shot of that.
Tell Daryl his gardens are impressive, he certainly knows what he's doing, and thanks for the tip on how to get the tomplants back inside the support.
Fabulous
Thank you!
Lovely!
I also have that Winter Banana they really survived the zone 5b winter
I love your garden ❤️, my family always had a large garden growing up and it warms my heart to see so much love and knowledge in this one.
Thank you. Gardens are magical.
Wonderful! I have made other videos with Darrell which you can see here: th-cam.com/play/PL7KEhv2No0ICNM51j0jPUeEGunhCX4-xb.html and of course I'm building an even bigger garden than Darrell. :)
Darrell is such a joy and full of brilliance!!!
This was informative, interesting & well presented. Darrell is a great teacher & gardener. I was inspired. He has a gift to do what he does, he's very good at it.
In the caribbean we use the soft younger elephant ears. We call them Dasheen bush or calaloo bush. We cook it down with coconut milk.
I ate calaloo in Jamaica - loved it! I didn't know it was that plant.
@@darrellluck7230 yes. And the bulbed roots are call Dasheen. It it famous here. I've watched many videos from the US and it's the first time seeing someone with a plant. Its amazing. Keep up the great work. You've inspired me to build a tipi.
❤ from the caribbean.
I planted Calaloo (amaranth family?) in CA, but it didn't come up.
This was absolutely wonderful to watch!
Thank you. Glad you liked it.
I slid the 16 foot cattle panels on top of my sienna and tied it down by myself, since southern states refused to help me, and I am am older lady.
Bamboo is a grass. Fastest growing and tallest grass, so it will spread like grass. But you can harvest it and, because of its tensile strength, use it as scaffolding as we do in the Tropics!😉👍
It's even illegal in some places I'm not allowed to have it on my property because it's so invasive I live in Kentucky
@@reginafisher9919 can I grow it in Ohio? Thanks guys 😃👍❣️🌻🌷🌱🌾🥀
@@speaklifegardenhomesteadpe8783 it'll grow almost anywhere you need to be careful to control it though.
@@speaklifegardenhomesteadpe8783 yes. My sister has it for 20 years
Not just green fingers, musial too. Love it 🙂
Thank you for interviewing him. His gardens are awesome!
What is the name of the drum he played?🥁🎵🥁🎶🥁
It is called a hand pan. They are quite expensive. Mine is a lower priced one made in Vietnam. I am happy with the quality. Relatively newly-invented and awesome instrument.
You’re welcome! I have other videos with Darrell in the playlist “Bamboo Oasis” which you can find on my home page.
white flowers amongst the Scarlet Runners looks like pea flowers.
What a wonderful video. Yours are always so I threshing. Thank you and thank Darrell for his tour. God bless!
Gardening is my passion,I'm almost sick about it
I know the feeling! If I wasn't making videos about it, I'd use all that time gardening. Thanks for finding my channel. Are you new here? If so, welcome!
Thanks for answering all my posts
I came across this video and I liked it
The elephant ear is called "taro" or cocoyam. In the Philippines, we call it "gabi". It is an edible vegetable from roots to leaves.
I grew broccoli and swiss chard and lettuces specifically for all my chickens. They love brightly colored Swiss chard over any lettuce. Interesting.
That reminds me, my first year of this channel I toured a family farm in N. California, and she grew brassicas inside her chicken run. She also had her compost bins in there. I think they would get ravaged by predators here. In fact, Darrell's chicken run is completely fenced, top and sides with double fence. This is why I have not ventured into having chickens, but now with this avian flu business, I wish I had!
Would love to see an instructional video on how to build the teepee trellis. Such an inspiration!
Kaye and I will do one as soon as the weather cools off a bit. They look so awesome covered in greenery!
@@darrellluck7230 I'm just watching this video now in March '23, from the UK. You are such an inspiration Darrell - thank you for sharing such a wealth of knowledge and your amazing garden. Do you have your own channel or website?
@@BeverleyW I do not. I'm too busy in the garden. I have done many videos with Kaye and a few on Nature's Always Right channel.
I think the way you made Teepee is awesome.
Thank you so much for the info I have a back yard garden can’t wait to put up teepee
Yay! Thanks for watching!
You two are just lovely :) ty for sharing :)
Our pleasure! Thanks so much! You are very kind.
You can put cattle panels in a small truck. All you have to do is tie them in a circle and stand them up in your truck bed. I've moved them in my small Ford ranger truck.
I thoroughly enjoyed this video. I learned a lot.
Glad it was helpful!
Wow, right down the road. Gainesboro here. I tell people all the time that we breed rocks very well in middle TN. We have 100 acre farm out here. I'm about to get kale, peas, asian cabbages, and brassicas going for the winter. I build my tomato cages the same way. I drop them over the hydroponic buckets and peppers are happy as well. I have a teepee for squashes, cukes, and melons. We raise meat rabbits along with other critters. We started with rabbits for the manure that really super powers the raised beds. Our herds of 15+ deer eat EVERYTHING. Tomatoes, peppers, squash, melons, you name it all the way to the ground, the entire plant. Agastache is a good plant for butterflies and bees. Just be careful with it, it can spread easily. It is kinda funny, Baxter and Cookeville got so much rain this year and we were missed with most of it. He isn't lying, our farm is ½ mile from the Cumberland river and a creek flows through the middle of the property. We have privet, japanese honeysuckle, and callary pear all over. Him and Roger Payne(used to run Miracle Mountain Farms)would probably get along quite well. I have lambsquarter, red veined sorrel, wood sorrel, and purslane all growing that I planted.
Hey, there, I did see this comment when it came in, but thought Darrell would respond. Also, I got behind on comments. I would love to come up and see your farm whenever you think it's the best time. Sounds just as wild and amazing as Darrell's place. Please send me an email to Kaye at late bloomer show dot com and connect. If I don't respond within a week, please send again. It's the holidays, I have company coming and am swamped with work since my helper left. God bless. (bty, I need help here if you can recommend someone reliable and good, we can discuss on email. )
What a breath of fresh garden. Lovely lovely.
And that is an awesome and lovely comment! Thank you.
Great video. I'm striving to become this guy. Working on the beard now, garden with a teepee next, long hair last 😂
Wow!!! I live in Baxter and I did not know about Mr. Luck’s garden. Very excited to learn more!!
Same
I have black coat runner which looks just like scarlet runner. I let them grow up the Ti plants we have. It’s like a natural trellis. I am planting some sunset and scarlet runner tonight after the kids go to bed. I do A LOT of my gardening at night. When the moon is full I don’t need any additional light. It’s kinda romantic in a way. The sounds of the waves and the still of the night. I just quietly sow seeds everywhere. I sometimes forgot what exactly it was I planted. I know when I start Flower Farming things wont be so relaxed so I’m enjoying the moment.
Waves? Remind me where you are. I would love to planet night but I don’t know what’s out there I don’t go outside my house after dark.
@@Latebloomershow I’m in Kailua Kona Hawaii. The west side of the Big Island. Our islands’ name is Hawai’i same as the state name Hawai’i.
I'd like to do that Just travel around looking at people's gardens to get ideas and learn what others are doing! Appreciate you bring your travels to us to learn! I want some rocks here Lol and how I want to do some beds!
Wow very nice
That was very interesting about using the hay instead of straw, never heard.
Gobbs!
I took my nephew,when I lived in Florida, we went and cut bamboo roots. That's a hard thing to do He was a strong guy too with an axe. I planted it spread slowly over a year or so The Jacaranda was incredibly fast growing I bought that tree it was a lovely tree. I moved to Kentucky about that time. I love Bamboo, this was the very Large type. The only problem was wasps. Wonder if Daryl has wasp problems and how he handles them. I had also seen in Lake Wales an entire back yard fenced with the small bamboo Darrell mentioned. It looked great they had paths in it it was great for privacy and you don't have to mow.
With the large bamboo you have to be careful where you plant it my nephew took some but put it too close to the house was starting to grow under the house foundation. He chopped it back though looked great in front yard though.
I was born in Lake Wales. Did you visit Bok Tower Gardens?
@@TheRedverb yes used to go there all the time had yearly passes. I may know you
@@sherreenations2964 Not likely. But it's very possible we've seen each other in that garden.
@@TheRedverb I went to one of the Orchestra type concerts once
My first visit to Bok Tower. Gardens was at age 18 Or 19 years old, I have a photo at the water looking down at the Tower. It was always such a peaceful, tranquil place for me and the hiking paths with all the nature "Window By The Pond" I have also toured the Home at Christmas. I am now sixty four but visited many times over.many years. Happy memories with my Mother and Grand mother there.I recall some Bamboo there in the landscaping.
Hay makes great garden beds. Where I put round bales for my horses, there is left a big ring of hay. The next year it is still decomposing, but the year after that it will be black topsoil and grow whatever seeds land in it + hay. If I don't have coastal in an area, I'll set the round bales there so that it will fill in.
I take the old hay and bed the duck house with it. Then when I clean the duck house, I put that hay in the compost pile. This year, I bought huge crates - metal frames with wood sides and bottom. I put branches and pieces of tree trunks in the bottom. Then alternated layers of grass/clover/weeds caught in my lawnmower catcher and duck-saturated hay.
Before I could even put any soil on top, a volunteer squash came up. The plant is HUGE and took over the entire 44x33x32 deep crate. The leaves are HUGE. And it is growing up on the trellis, too. I let the first fruit grow large because I wasn't sure what it was. Now I think it is a Costata Romanesco Zucchini from High Mowing Seed. The inside is golden, but I can't tell from the website or package whether that is normal for that or not.
Now what I really want to do is create a hay ring from a round bale and build one of his bean teepees over it. :-)
