    Sounds very good with the new kitchen garden position 👍🏻 Good one, you listening to your guts…Thanks for your videos, they are inspiring and calming 🙏

    Looking forward to seeing your new kitchen garden grow 💚. Isn't it incredible how nothing in life stays the same if you put thought into it? Everything's evolving and it's so cool to see that you're not shying away from changing your original plans.

    Dont be afraid to prune the trees. You don’t have to fell them. You are already cultivating by doing the garden. The trees can exist, even by been pruned. Win win win! Contact a Tree surgeon, you know they do magnifiecent work. Trees exist, you exist, your plants exist! ☺️

    I get the sense that you eat your breakfast on your feet, during your garden tour hahah! I would love to have a garden, and I am planning to buy a small house outside of the city. I would love to grow cabbage, squash, onions, garlic and green beans! I also want a rose garden, which is good for mental health lol! Thanks for the tour! 🌻

    Great reflections on the warm weather crops...however your tomatoes are decimated by blight, which is soil borne...and when you harvest your potatoes blight spores may blow around (hence the need for distance). If you have sun from sunrise it’s ok to for tomatoes and cucumbers to have full shade from 15-ish during summer as long as you’ve got enough heat. Maybe you could retain some heat with a pile/wall of stones close by ? Good work 👍

    Like this episode. I live in a colder climate in the US but most of the things in this video, grow in my property. I'm in the middle of a town, but got permission for a wildlife habitat 20 years ago. I also have the issue of many trees. I am doing mayor changes to have more sunlight for the crops, next year. This video is perfect for me. I just discovered the channel today, so I'll be watching the older videos also.

    We understand your problems with the lack of sun for some vegetable. Every place is different and none of us can grow everything. Also we can not work days and nights only for growing food. When I was very poor, and had to work all day long, I had to get the most of benefit from what I had, so I began searching about every plant growing on my land, what part can be eaten or can serve for some purpose. Example : the leaves of raspeberry are good for health in infusion.

    There are so many ways to grow food, regenerative farming- which is what I grew up with, permaculture, urban gardening for those who live in cities, agroforestry, and there is syntropic farming etc...each personal to the individual, I am glad you are sharing your life experiences with us, each lesson learned is wisdom gained.

    Coppiced trees will regenerate themselves, be renewed and revitalised and can be kept much lower, so the sun reaches more area and you can cut them for your stove too. Thanks so much for your lovely videos 🙏

    • @andersboisentinyhouse

I too am still experimenting. My asparagus look exactly the same as yours. I do well with arugula, kale and Romaine lettuce too. Carrots as well. Thank you for sharing.

    The attraction of your video is its reverse experience. In the American South we talk about the use of shade cloth, building shade structures and embracing the benefit of nearby trees. My first thought is that your environment is not suited to crops like tomatoes and okra, our mainstays. But there are now so many varieties of tomatoes, bred in various environments. Part of your challenge is researching the best varieties and sizes for you. As to squash/pumpkins, I might connect you with a Mexican heirloom called Tatume, delicious and tender while young, a smaller teardrop pumpkin after long-term growth--also some resistance to squash vine borers.

    Really interesting, the spot I'm going to be building in, and the surrounds are now clear cut and I have a pretty good sunlight hitting my area all day, I'm going to put in some raised beds to start with and grow potatoes, leeks, beets, cabbages and sprouts and kale as well as summer stuff, like lettuce and raddishes and strawberries etc. We have blueberries and brambles everywhere so its just a matter of competing with deer and our horses for that. Your videos are very interesting and your environment is really similar to what we have in the Scottish Highlands, so, hopefully, I can get a basic garden set up this year. I also have some polytunnel stuff so will attempt some tomatoes and less hardy stuff too. My nephew is a tree surgeon so I have him to deal with cutting back and maintenance of the trees around me.

  • @JGalegria

    The permaculture philosophy has its limitations. I have seen so many permaculture gardens that are too congested and too shady. I love the "no dig", but I also learned a lot from my grandfather. He grew up on a fruit block (orchards) in Victoria and in retirement set up a large, highly productive vegetable and fruit garden traditional market garden style, in full sun, mounds in rows, climbing veges on the perimeter, in his backyard on the east coast of Australia. He could grow absolutely anything and his crops were very abundant. He always had excess to give away to neighbours. After growing up experiencing this and listening to him, permaculture seemed like a hippy notion to me and it's not that surprising the words "cult and culture" are in there because the philosophy takes precedence over common sense and tried and tested methodology. 🙏😎😊

      Yeah I know, but I was under a time pressure this week, because the plan originally was to get started with the house a make a film about that. Besides, my preference is not so much the "nice and clean" look, so I'm trying to find the balance between whats pleasant for the human eye and the actual needs of the plants.
