This video was so uplifting. I dug up a struggling paw paw for a gardening client recently, and found the tap root all strangled. I tried really hard to save the tree. I gave it thanks, I apologized, I gave it gifts.... But it still didn't make it. There's something so special about paw paws... I'm going to give homage to the tree that died trying, by planting a sapling. I did put the tree near my compost bin, as many plants and trees have resurrected in compost. Thank you for taking the time to share the wonder and persistence of nature...
Thank you! That pawpaw of yours may still grow. Mark the spot well where you put it. You never know. Next July you may see a few leaves pop up again. Don’t worry about letting other stuff grow around it. It may just help.
And, I just discovered the magnificence of the majestic pine tree.... so there's a tree to ponder. I marvel at the crown, taking in the powers of the Sun as it sets....
I foraged and tasted my first pawpaws last week, love them!!! I have one tree foor what, 5 years now? Bloomed but no fruit. Foraging was a lot more rewarding. Now that all those seeds sleep in my compost I hope some more will emerge in spring.❤
They are amazing those pawpaws! If you can, spread your compost somewhere you’d like them to grow and surely you’ll see them pop up sometime next July or later.
What better than a video from the lovely Willows Green, just as I'm trying to think of where I could plant a pawpaw here in Nova Scotia! Thanks for this❤
It's a pleasure! Fall is the best time to direct sow! Just make sure to mark the spot well. You may not see a seedling until into July or later. And it's ok if other stuff is growing around them. Those seeds have lots of energy and when the seedling appears, it means there's already a long tap root, a good 15cm, beneath the soil.
That garden I had as a kid was on a north facing wall, with the light from the west blocked as well. I had no idea that it was just in the wrong spot... A simple change of spot would have made all the difference.
oh, the chives look like mine! always bees all over 🙂 yours probably have round blades like most though. mine are flat blades. a little different, more complex flavor. another plant i brought back from when we were in the near east. now and then i make a killer vegetable quiche with it that i learned to make from our cook in persia 🙂
Hi Alsan! Yes these are garlic chives. Flat blades ((I’m guessing you mean the blades without flowers, not the flower stem.) The flowers of regular chives are spherical and bluish. We have both. Regular chives bloom in July. These bloom at the end of the season which is nice.
@@WillowsGreenPermaculture yes, very happy plant. i love the flowers. i have these all over my little orchard. started with one plant. the seeds are really easy on these as each flower leaves behind 3 large ones that are easy to save and handle. they also repel many pests for the garden. just lovely in every way 🥰
@@AlsanPine I've never paid attention to each tiny flower, only the whole cluster, that it gives lots of seeds! I just had a look at the video at the end, and saw those little groupings of 3 seeds forming on some of the flowers.😊
Stay wild! Stay free! Permaculture magic appears naturally if you just try things and be patient and do not stress about perfection or failures, the successes will far exceed the failures my friends😊 Permie love from South Carolina to all!
At about 20:00 minutes, it's a birch tree, not a beech tree.
Thank you to all of you for hanging out with me this morning to watch the video!

Thank you! All the best for your pawpaw!
I have a bag pf pawpaw seeds in the fridge I'm planning to direct sow soon. Thank you for the inspiration!

Yes, I look back and laugh at some of the simplest mistakes I've made but I've learned a lot from all of them!
@@ssstults999that’s wonderful😊

Thank you Grandmom Zoo! You are absolutely right!
I am trying to get some growing in semi arid great plains, as long as I live a decently long life they will grow here under other trees
Wow! That’s impressive! I just watched a video yesterday about someone with a pawpaw tree doing really well giving lots of fruit under a walnut tree.
@@WillowsGreenPermaculture I got some maples that keep flys around so I will see if those flies will help pollinate the paw paws beneath them
@@Dirt-Fermerthat’s great. If you research it you may find other plants that attract flies for you. I’m going to do the same!
