    My wife and I enjoy your channel. We harvest tunas every season and make jelly and make Mosquite bean flour. We'll have to look for some wolf berries. We live by the Organ Mountains in the County

      Hey there! 👋 thanks for watching! Im excited for mesquite this year...and my grandma makes a mean prickly pear jam. I'm not sure if I've ever seen wolfberries up that way...though to be honest I haven't ever looked. Maybe near dripping springs or Soledad? But they are definitely all over the river levee!

    Hello, wow I need to look for some wolf berrys, love the drone views, and thank you for sharing now I’m just waiting on my mesquite tree 😃

    I was literally driving around with my friend today in SE Arizona, and I was literally asking what those red berries were... Now I know... I'm so glad I stumbled on ur channel!:)

    I call this Sidus Roadus in Ireland. Or Civic pruning. Delighted I found your channel. We could not live in more different climates,, but we are both striving for the same thing

    Cool, I saw these in the Bosque earlier this week I didn't know what they were. Should have watched your video earlier 😊 Thanks for the information!

      Glad I could help! They may still be there so go grab you some!

    It would be an interesting experiment to determine the sugar levels in the berry using a brix refractometer. Great content and presentation ... and as my Mom would yell at me "wear the proper footwear for the situation" .... LOL. Cheers.

    Loved your video, learnt a lot . My Hubby and I moved to Central Texas and are still learning about growing a garden here as well as the plants we see when we are out driving some where. I keep looking for wild Plumbs such as the ones we foraged in California in the Northern part of the state along the country roads. We are both in our 70s. I am from the Caribbean , so I keep wanting and trying to plant some of the plants I miss from there. I wonder if the wolf berry plant will grow if contained in my garden like other berry plants. It does get very hot here and yes humid like the Caribbean and parts of California. I am also enjoying your garden structures and may try if we can to some as shade , to prevent things like my tomatoes from cooking .. Smile. Ninette Bird- The Caribbean Wife- Cameron , Tx

      Thank you for your feedback! I wish you the best of luck with your plum foraging! It's always interesting to find new types of wild food in different parts of the country. Central Texas is pretty wet and humid so I bet you could manage some tropical plants!

    Wow adding drone footage now. Very cool. Just FYI I buy my pecans at Del Valle pecan farm which is organic. I’m pretty sure I used to take the Mesquite exit when I went there personally to pick up an order. Now that live up north they ship to me.

      Interesting I'll have to check them out! I've been meaning to talk to that farmer anyways because of the leaf mulch I could use every winter if he's organic

    I'm thinking there's a point where they are firm enough to pick easy and then ripen after.

    Maybe i should try to find some seed and plant some here in Gaines County.

    • @thefiresidefarm
      @thefiresidefarm  7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      They sell bare root stock and plants online...but honestly maybe if you can find some in the wild you could just transplant it

    As mentioned, you should not forage next to a road, especially downhill, there are likely toxins like heavy metals in the plants. Try to keep 50 to 100 feet away, preferably uphill.

    Where are you located? Im in Carlsbad, NM! I just started my 1st ever garden this year and what a mess lol! I just went for it though and wow I'm learning! I just got to harvest some figs from my tree!

      Congratulations on your fig!! I have tried and failed at every single fruit tree I've planted here 🙃. I'm nearer to El paso, so you definitely get more rain and are a little bit colder than I am.

      @@thefiresidefarm well if it helps,the fig tree was already established before we moved in a yr ago lol. Idk about more rain lol and being cooler! I just lost a my 1st chicken 2 days ago because of the heat and almost lost another same day but I barely caught it so was able to help her recover. I literally knew nothing about anything until this yr when I started composting,a garden and got 4 chickens. I have grown tremendously and view things so different! I look at trees, trash(compost material) and everything else so different because I appreciate things like never before.
