Happy growing!
The frowny face neighbor...I wish any of my neighbors had a property like yours! Even just a little interest in gardening would be amazing. I love that beautiful river of rice! It's truly lovely.
"I think its invasive, but so am I. Soo what are you gonna do?" I love that gonna use that someday when the opportunity presents itself! 😂🤣
I've never met a native person from our region who has hate for plants that aren't from here, seems like a great way for chemical companies to generate a lot more money if you ask me.
Note just the native stuff, but other things too. Like in NC we're not allowed to grow currants or gooseberries because they're a host species for some sort of pine pest that the lumber industry hated. It can't grow just on pine, but has to go through the intermediary species so now the rest of us can't grow currant family plants at all. Bizarre.
Sign me up for the long, weird bumper sticker: "The tiniest, numerous flowers make the best nectar flow for the widest range of flying friends."
I am so grateful that you are doing this! My husband and I are in our 70s. We bought our first house 5 years ago and have a good sized back yard with adequate sun. We've been adding to the garden a bit at a time, but we're frustrated by an extensive deer herd. (The only predators here are cars.) This year we put up deer fencing, so now we can shrink the lawn and enjoy the fruits of our labors. We've been incorporating some of the things we've learned from you, including converting a fire pit we rarely used into a Hugelmound (I call it a hugelbump) where we planted cranberry beans, onions, and zucchini.
Anyhow, I just wanted to thank you for making your videos available. I'm sure we'll be ordering from you this fall.
Oh, we're in west central Wisconsin, zone 5b.
Add some dog poop at the perimeter. Then there is bone sauce - the recipe of Sepp Holzer. It is a stinky tarry concoction that he brushes on the stems of his saplings so the deers in the mountains leave them alone. Is it possible that they need moisture ? I heard the suggestion that some wildlife is not after your tomatoes per se, they are after the extra fluid (squirrels and raccons were mentioned).
if that is true a compromise could be found :) By offering them water in another place (of course that is some work, and needs to be changed often so it will not spread diseases.
The fence is good, so with some dog poop (they dislike the smell and still pick it up when you would not notice anything) you should be good that they do not try to get through anyway. They should also pick up the scent of dog urine.
(for them it is all "wolves")
All those frogs are a great indicator of the quality of the environment you're caretakers of. What a pleasant sight.
Sean, One of my favorite parts of your videos is your extensive vocabulary. Thank you for setting a high standard.
The comment on the invasiveness of the plant and of mankind is priceless ❤️
Truly the most inspiring YT-channel I stumbled upon. EdibleAcres opening my mind with every Video.
Thank you so much !
incredible what you’ve built in such a short time.
It is! Gives hope for the rapid adaptations we need to make as we face such severe environmental degradation. Thankfully the more projects like this, the easier it is to get new ones 'seeded'!
I would would watch your videos if they were 5 minutes 10 minutes or an hour the wonderful place you have created is so inspiring and you have so much knowledge to share! Thankyou for having this youtube channel!
Just hit play and the time stops
This video really helped my hubbie understand my wish for a pond, lotus, rice, taro etc etc. This is almost exactly my vision for an area on our land. We look forward to seeing how your space grows, along with you, Sasha and all the viewers. Thanks for the amazing update.
Your videos are always lovely and never too long, the longer the better
Great to know you are into the longer form.
Love stinging nettle. My wife does potatoes mashed with dried nettle powder and corn, it's a traditional tribal dish for her and I love it! It goes great with a thing that I describe as being like a vegan veggie sambar - anyway green mashed potatoes from nettle with corn mixed in SO GOOD!
thanks for the idea.
Thanks, your are giving me ideas. Where I come from roughly mashed potatoes (fork) are eaten with, salt, some milk and a good dose of linseed oil. Pumpkin seed oil could also be tried (also the intense flavor. The linseed = flax oil is yellow (and very healthy) and pumpkinseed oil is dark brown almost blac.
recently I found a recipe for "nettle condiment" (which oddly enough is a sweet sirup to be mixed with water - like a softdrink). I seem to remember the color gets rosy, they added citric acid and it allegedly tastes good - as per recipe.
@@xyzsame4081 Yeah, actually Kikuyu people when they don't have stinging nettle (dafayi) they use pumpkin leaves instead! I don't spell in kikuyu very well, so dafayi is probably misspelled
I allowed a carrot to grow to flower; I was planning to keep it for seed. And, the seed outcome was successful. But, we also had an eastern black swallowtail who visited to lay eggs on the flowers--about twenty eggs. We were able to see about ten eastern black swallowtail caterpillars enjoying the flowers and leaves of the carrot stalk.
I used to think that I need 10 or 15 acres to live with such abundance. To see you do it on 6 acres is inspiring. I currently have a 1/2 acre of paradise food forest and the raspberries and wild blackberries are hitting peak harvest. I am waging war with the wild blackberries and the spoils are going to very happy chickens. Thanks for always showing "how I could" instead of "why I can't." And also showing "how I might do better" or "improve and enhance" this thing or another. Continued blessings to you all.
Your optimism with your displeased neighbor is encouraging. Our troubling neighbor is a mile away, I call him Drunk Jim, because he drives around our area drinking Coors checking his cattle, encouraging his friends to use others' trees for sources of doves to shoot, regardless of the fact shot hits homes. Deaf Smith Co. Sheriff, TX is only interested in taking issue with my steaming compost piles in the January cold for fear they'll catch things on fire, in the snow 😂, not citing the area drunk. Needless to say, your work is beautiful. Our arid, tumultuous high plains isn't conducive to the same plants, but I enjoy it all the same!!
You've made a huge change to your land and it's really inspiring. Unrelated note, I was turning over a hot compost pile and had to keep shooing the chickens away when I remembered how you let your chickens look for bugs and turn yours. So I got their mealworms and grains out, and let them have fun. My chickens and I thank you.
That is great! Yeah, I try to remember that at all stages compost is first and foremost about the chickens needs and enjoyment, and a close second about what we hope to do with it :)
Just binged this playlist, it's incredible. Love the pond, and just how quickly you changed your neighbor's lawn. You should start every video at the road and walk up the driveway, showing us all that privacy you gave your neighbor.
That's an incredible state of the garden in such a short period of time.
Your channel is really great!
Rabbit gate. 😆 That's a lot of water in those paths. I didn't realize rice was that resilient, good to know.
You're so lucky to live in a place where you can dig or fill or channel without years of paperwork and payment of indulgences.
Sorry you have to deal with that :(
I bring my taro in over winter and have one giant that is now 9 ft tall. I have 12 varieties
2:09 We're all a little invasive. 😄
I LOVE watching edible acres talk anything earthworks or water. You just have FUN with water and I love it! I look forward to more pond tv.
Thanks Sasha and Sean! I love watching these specific videos about water.
It's pretty amazing how useful this tour is for gather information even though I'm growing in a climate further south. thank you for sharing
"I know theyre invasive but so am I" lol I never thought of that
But screw honeysuckle, that stuff sucks
@@pandahead9274 oh God I know it. Its strangled half my property. Along with wild grape
@@pandahead9274 thinking about it I have to get some goats. Best low maintenance solution for that problem
Vasectomies ftw
@@pandahead9274 isn't that the darn truth it's taking over my pond
Everywhere you walk there are frogs hopping! I hope to nurture such a thriving habitat someday.
I was going to go to sleep and then thought nah one more video. Now I want to garden and it's night time and I have no garden.
What you did with dumping the compost in the middle of the bed with the squash reminds me of how a friend started food forests around schools in Malawi, she picked up the foodwaste from local markets, mulched the school areas with it and kept it moist and protected from animals.. It worked out great, that is how simple it can be :)
Gardening can move in some pretty simple directions when we allow it :)
You tend your garden like Adam did Eden! Absolutely amazing wealth of knowledge. An immense thank you for sharing it all!
A temporary idea for the silt flowing into your dam is contoured vegetation baskets. Tried searching on Google but it probably has a different name. Essentially logs, branches and other organic material staked on contour to help catch silt and slow down the water.
Now I sort of want one of those really long and weird bumperstickers...
Saaaaaame lol
Our land is on the other side of the saint lawrence in Eastern Ontario. We’re year 1 and your videos are so inspiring (my partner wants to dig out a pond now!). Thank you for the knowledge sharing and ideas on how to deal with our wet, clay soil
I love watching your videos ❤️ specially the rawness & the essence of nature caught on camera in pond tv or chicken tv is just .. beyond explanation...Soul satisfying 🎉
Totally inspiring on how to manage a garden to benefit from access rain. Thanks.
I love hearing the bango sounding bull frog calls in the background of your video!
I just found your page. I am just getting into trying to develop my “garden”. These videos will certainly help. Thank you!
Thank you for another terrific video.
Every time I watch one of your videos I learn about new plant species. The Bolivian Rainbow Peppers look beautiful. The guppies look so happy! Great content, thank you. You inspired me to grow my urban garden this year and it has grown so quickly
That is amazing to read, so glad you are growing an urban garden and being part of our community here!
So impressed with your rice! I couldn't even get mine to sprout from seed trays this year, I'll have to try again next year. I was very excited to find a volunteer paw paw tree in my raised garden bed though! I'll need to pick up a few more paw paws from you someday so that I can actually get fruit, haha.
Amazing what you guys have done in such a short time. Everyone is happy and loving the diversity.
Amazing work Sean!
The ending cutaway was awesome! I love all the water and those little frog shots.
Wow, I love your work! It´s so inspiring und so important nowadays. Please keep on sharing and thank so much! Nice greetings from Germany
Looking fantastic! What a different world from a year ago!!
I’ve been on my own permaculture journey for over a decade now and I’ve got to say your videos are hands-down my favorites on the interwebs. You capture the permaculture praxis perfectly - starting with designing broad patterns first, then implementing them and fleshing out the details over time through small interactions, intensive observation, and making tweaks to your systems based on feedback. It is wonderful to behold.
I am beginning my serious propagation this year for my food forest and wood lot coppice, primarily focusing on Siberian pea shrub for the former as an N fixer and black locust for the latter. Since you have WAY more experience in this area than I do I’d love your recommendations for starting pea shrub in particular. Thanks!
So glad this channel resonates with you! Pea Shrub... Collect all the seeds you can if you have plants, they shoudl be peak ripeness right now if you are in a similar climate to us...
Like most/all woody N-Fixing plants in Fabaecea, store seed dry and cool, like beans, and next spring when you are ready to start them or Black Locust, or Honey Locust, etc... Bring water up to a boil like for tea, let it cool 10-20 seconds, pour over a bowl of pea shrub seeds. Let it cool overnight and the next day pluck out any/all seed that have swollen to a larger size and are a little soft to a fingernail. Should germinate in a nursery bed very quickly. GOOD LUCK!
@@edibleacres Thank you so much! I'm going to have to start collecting those seeds now as my climate analog might be just a bit ahead of you in the Finger Lakes (I'm about 60 miles NW of NYC).
Thank you for another truly great video!
We have a very similar type of property, super wet (but we are all the way up in Alaska) the plants absolutely love it! First time gardening this year
Wow you produce so much! I aspire to be that productive 😍🤩
Thank you for wonderful, thought provoking content !! PLEASE MAKE A VIDEO GOING INTO DETAIL ABOUT THE UNUSUAL PLANTS YOU MENTIONED IN THIS VIDEO.
Just love everything y'all are doing. Such a learning opportunity for all of us!!! Thank you!
Beautiful! It's amazing how your work is growing so fast. Send me some of that rain, please! I live in the AZ desert 🥺. Thank you for sharing your wonderful work.
Sending hopes and intention of deep soaking rains spread over 2-3 weeks to that whole area. 10 inches of rain, at one half inch of rain per day, for 30 days. Even, cool, hydrating and replenishing. HOPING FOR THAT FOR YOU!
Wonderful video Sean. Thank you for sharing. I'm loving the naturalization of the pond. The lotus are gorgeous
Really beautiful, all that work has shaped up into many abundant worlds in what used to be simple lawn! This is a sight for sore eyes, after seeing the water troubles out west, and it is a motive and guide for ready hands! Thanks and peace to y'all there
Hoping your willow snipped friends are expanding and locking in Robbie!
Well, we are your virtual neighbours, and we like what you are doing.
Yeah...how in the world could a neighbor that gets to enjoy the visual gluttony of all that life be unhappy doing so? Some people, I tell ya.
The broad variety you have is amazing, you have an in-depth knowledge. I’m fascinated by the rice, I wonder if we could grow it here in the UK?
Probably could. Richard Perkins tried it out in mid Sweden, it did grow, but didn't produce much rice. UK should be warmer, so it might just about work.
Should be good. Wild rice in North America is grown where they have brutal winters. Zone 4 and down is where it grows best.
Wow, my elecampane is giant tropical leaves and multiple blooms on 8’ plants, growing in a hugul bed. I believe it likes it a bit on the dry side. Although I’ve been watering with the extra rain water I’m collecting this very wet year. Great little tour!
Sounds like some massive Elecampane, wow! Ours naturalize in super wet spots, but maybe a more rich and better drained context would give them even more boost. We're trialing Inula Racemosa this year and hope to understand their needs more in the future . So far 8' tall and not flowering yet, they seem like a massive beast of a plant!
@@edibleacres wow Inula racemosa looks cool! Same shape flowers as the I helenium but all clustered along the stalk (racemes), so fabulous. I’ll read up more about it. My elecampane is in the third year and Im planning to harvest the roots this fall and replant in place where it seems happy. The tropicalness of its giant leaves is definitely a different scene here in Vermont. I’ll send you a photo!
Wow.....so much free water!
Agree with the nectar flow. My mint and parsley are always loaded with happy bugs working hard at getting food.
So many good flowers out there!
Yay! Lovely! I love it! Hope to be able to propagate this fall. This is my year one. Summer. Beginning is exciting. I liked what you said in a previous video I watched: it’s your exercise, relaxation, art, food. Resonated.
Just love this vid won't say much bed time now. Have another look tomorrow. Love it as soon as I heard the frogs croak and seen the tadpoles I felt home sick from when I was a teen lol lol back home very very good rundown... thx
Wonderful to see this update!🤗
Really loved this update.
You have the most diverse gardens.
Love what you have done. Enjoy watching and learning. Keep the videos coming. 😊
Wow, I love how you've created your beds, so much inspiration. Thank you so much for sharing.
You are so welcome! We're learning as we go here.
Amazing to think that just a short while ago that was all lawn!
Do you expect the willows to "drink" much of the pond and trench water? Or is it insignificant?
Lastly, if our experience with cardoons is anything to go by, you can expect to find them popping up half a block away in a year or two. :) We tried eating them, but weren't overly fond of the flavor. That said, we like the look of them in the garden.
Thank you, thank you for all you share (and your humor). Happy New Year!!
Amazing how everything took hold in a year & yum yum frog legs 🐓🦃🐝🦋🐞
Thank you bro.. the content and the vibes you share are really filled with love. everytime there is a new video i love watching it.
love and bless from Uruguay
Inti
Thanks for being part of this from so far away!
I'm so sorry that I haven't been keeping up with your wonderful videos but I just wanted to say congratulations on the beautiful pond! The ecosystem around it is already amazing. I wish you continued success with your growing.
We are thrilled that you come visit the channel when it works for you. Never feel any pressure to 'keep up' with our videos, they're there for whenever it feels good to watch.
@@edibleacres Much appreciated, again, thank you! I love your attitude :-)
Brilliant. I am here in southern africa. Will need to work according to climate (lots more sunshine, but less water). But, absolutely love your videos.
Your place is looking amazing as usual...
Looks great. Well done 😊
Thanks for the kind words
Amazing, thank you for sharing
very beautiful and inspiring!
Love your work on your garden, I'm experimenting with my much smaller uk gardens one south facing and one north ish lol, but slowly swapping the grass out for trees shrubs and beds, I'm loving the indepth information you give everytime, it's very encouraging and your energy is awesome 👌
So glad you are with us and helping add more trees and shrubs to the world!
Wow! I amazing video with lots of information. Thank you.
Always inspiring!
The weather this year has been strange…hot and dry to rain rain rain.
My gardens isn’t really too happy.
It's challenging, our basement has a fair bit of water we have to constantly deal with now.
I have been waiting with baited breathe for a pond update and Am so pleased. You have inspired me to build a pond, unfortunately I live on a sand hill and we did not hit clay till we were five feet deep. I decided I will have to use a liner 😐
Y'all should get a "tadpole city" sign for the pond 😂
Awesome video. Love your garden
Amazing how it is developing 🤗🌱🐸👍
I tried and failed at propagating last season. I had apple trees and Asian pear trees rooting good but done something wrong because they died off. I would love to see a series on propagating step by step from start to finish. Love your videos and the wealth of information you share
For what it's worth, Apple and pear as cuttings have given me fully 0% success over the years! Start with easy and reliable! Root some willows, some elder, currants, etc and then move on from there so you get a nice positive feedback early on!
Looks great Sean......dont worry about ur at least 2 invasive plants I will worry for u but all the other stuff is just great ! So happy to have gotten a decent amount of rainfall here in northern NY...things are really popping now ! Need to pay a visit to my friend Carly and see how her operations are doing...well in sure but love seeing other peoples ideas and sharing thoughts !!!😊
Wow, you have fenugreek. I love cooking meats/roasts with fenugreek. Awesome
It is a great plant and super adaptable.
well done you will love the tarrot...we have it around our pond
So beautiful!!! I would love to one day see it in person:D
Rice growing in New York! I love it. Now I want to grow rice, too. First I've got to create some wetland areas. I have a bit of a hill on one side of our property...I'm envisioning terraced rice paddies...
Manifest!
I always learn new things from your videos - thanks!!!
That is awesome!
Just loving ❤️ this..
So glad!
"Technically they are invasive, but so am I..." Lol, I'm loving your channel the more I see! Some day I'd love to do a road trip to visit and get a tour in person
I'm loving the cattle panel hoop houses. I'm trying to think of a way I can make one, but maybe make the plastic removable so I can rotate which cattle panel arches to put them on... but also strong enough to not blow away... I do low tunnels with metal conduit bent to shap with snap on attachments to hold the palstic in place for overwintering brassicas... hmm might have to combine these ideas...
Snap on holder at that size wouldn't be enough, but you could explore robust wooden runs along the bottom of the structure that you screw sturdy battons onto through the plastic to pin the plastic down. Make the plastic longer on the sides and cover them with soil for extra garden space right next to the tunnel for a season or two!
I’m lucky, my grandmother taught me how to propagate, cuttings and grafting, strength in numbers, try try again! Roses are my Achilles heel.
That is awesome to have a grandma like that, wow!
Crazy long term idea but how awesome would it be to have a playlist for each plant or family of plants? Could have a link to playlist on that plants page on your website or small print of a QR code on seed packets and cutting packaging. Playlist would include everything about the plant like a video on plants preferred growing environment, zones, planting time, days to maturity. Another video on how to use the plants including recipes, Sasha cocking videos, and storage conditions. Another video on propagation methods. One on companion plants and ones to avoid. Etc.
Sounds like a lovely idea, you may want to pursue it!
My bio intensive mentor in Texas flowers buckwheat right around the time his cabbage is maturing and in North Texas, those buckwheat flowers, they keep the cabbages 100% clean I think because of attracting beneficial predators. So cool! SO yes, tiny white flowers and letting cilantro go I can attest to!
I love your videos
I'm trying withania this year too !
Amo seus vídeos, abraços do Brasil 😉
