I like the idea of your small food forest(s) and the fact that they can grow together as well to create an entire huge garden. Thanks for sharing. You have a great day
I love the different areas you have in your garden. Your videos are so peaceful to watch, chills me out 😉. Such knowledge you have too, wonderful work 🥰🇬🇧🇪🇸
Years ago, I used some of those 2-3” thick blocks (same size as a cinderblock side, no holes, solid) I dug around my flower bed, using them for a border but keeping them inset into the ground, level with grass roots… and all we had to do when mowing was run the tractor right up over the edge of the blocks, cutting the grass, but not hitting the blocks and no trimming required afterward. JUST REMEMBER to mow (if you are using a mower that throws grass out one side to mow a few laps throwing grass away from flower bed or you’ll end up with a hosta with holes in it like my husband did to mine the first time. What’s good as you don’t have to put plastic under them or anything. And you don’t really see them until you’re close up you could always paint them decorate them whatever but a natural clay color looks great and a lot of times you can get free used blocks or bricks from other people. I moved from NJ to NC and I’m so frustrated because I have Clay too, and it’s horrible to dig!
Yes! I have an extensive perennial food forest disguised as an ornamental garden in my Florida neighborhood 🙌 well done! Nothing better than home grown food.
I like the idea of your fruit tree with under planting. Still hoping to get hubby to let me put in at least two trees to replace the old apple and the very old maple that he took down this year. As long as mowing does not get difficult for him. He would like a 4 variety grafted plum and maybe a silver maple. You give me great inspiration, as long as I do not make anymore flowerbeds...

How is your daughter Jasmine doing, it has been awhile since we have seen her in one of your videos? You work so hard Sean, you have accomplished a lot!
I love your take on planting flowers, veg, fruit and herbs all together. Makes so much sense! I can’t believe you’re planting in November. We got 5 inches of snow yesterday, and right now it’s 2 pm and 29 degrees (Fahrenheit). That’s -1.67 C. We won’t be planting anything here til next May probably. 😂
I like the idea of forest farming, but it does mean you need to know your plants and their needs. Can't be sure, but I think the variegated plant was euonymus, which becomes a huge bush very quickly and gets quite dense. I have 2 in my garden and am constantly pruning them. The idea of planting pollinaters with vegetables/fruit is a well established success story. You should see good results next year. Onions can also ward off unwanted insects too. 😀
Sean, someone on Facebook was asking for help in identifying a very large unusual copper pot, I’ve referred her to your channel, I’ve never seen anything like it. ☺️
You've inspired me, I want to plant a couple of blueberry bushes and will companion them with appropriate herbs :D I do need to check the planting season for this area of FL and we're sand. Thanks, Sean
Your garden is going to be beautiful, Sean! Thanks for all the good tips!your no dig method is interesting, and I may just try that in the Spring! Winter has arrived in NW Pennsylvania! Your 6’ tall flower is Cosmos. Such a pretty delicate flower. Afternoon tea with Sam….what a nice English tradition you enjoy together. Love from Pennsylvania, USA💕🌷🐻
I did Charles Dowdings 'no dig' I now have no grass in my back garden, just a winding pea gravel path with trees, shrubs and plants. It's full of wildlife, and I love it.
If you plant marigolds around your veg and other plants insects like to nibble. The insects prefer the marigolds, and they are great for composting. There's around 20 positives for having them in your garden, look it up you'll be amazed
Beautiful Copper Pots 🤩 and those 3 memorial hooks (looks to me like family Crests 🤩) and the Forest Garden is coming on nicely ❤️ Great content Sean and your positivity 🤩
I like that you mix your planting, a more defined border would help stop the weeds encroaching into your plants. Maybe try one space to see if it’s a useful tip. Not a lover of the use of cardboard but hi Ho.
Well cardboard, you’re not going to see after you put soil over it or whatever. It degrades. Paper is made from wood. So when it breaks down work could be more natural. Certainly better than using plastic, which can’t degrade.
Dang someone snatched up the castle piece. I’ll let my family know about your Etsy store. Great Christmas gift ideas. My daughter just asked me what I want. Love watching your videos, here in Washington state US. ❤
I would use those little squares to fill in bare spots in my lawn. I really enjoy watching your garden 🪴 videos! They are very helpful! Greetings from North Carolina and I hope you all are well! ❤
9:37 What is that? You hang coats on it with coat hangers? And 10:03 Is that a book end? I think it would be a full time job for you to keep the weeds out! LOL
From my personal experience; if you want to grow raspberries or blackberries; it's best to grow them in a line ( mulch the base)and fence them like you would do for grapes. A wooden frame staggered along the length. Run a wire/ cable alone each side to keep the canes contained and upright. It makes for easier picking and pruning. If you have clay soil; use cow manure that's mixed with straw ( it doesn't have to be old). As the straw breaks down; it adds humus to the soil making it less clay. Peat moss will do the same. Sheep manure is the best for fertilizing,then cow manure. Pig and chicken manure is higher in nitrogen( sometimes has undigested weed seeds in it) which will make the plant focus on leaf production. N,P,K but don't forget to add trace minerals too. "Huplaso" brand of crushed Basalt Rick dust is what I used. Works well...a noticable growth in a week or 2.
Why don't you build above ground planters? That way you don't have to bend down. You could make the yourself. Or some people plant in those big metal farm containers all around.
Thanks for showing my copper pots today, Sean! They are lovely. Looking forward to receiving them!
Mt pleasure Chris thanks for your support
Straw is also a great layering medium.
Sean your garden is looking better and better every time we see it. It's fun to see how your demeanor changes from one job to the other. Great job.
Garden is starting to look like an oasis, I really like it.
Sean I absolutely love that you and Sam grow and preserve the food from your garden!!
I love the idea of the food garden that will sustainably feed your family.

Just simply lovely ❤
Lovely day for planting. This will be an interesting experiment. Good on ya, Sean and Sam.😊

Hi there
How is your daughter Jasmine doing, it has been awhile since we have seen her in one of your videos? You work so hard Sean, you have accomplished a lot!
She fine thanks 😊
Sean, so knowledgeable about almost everything.
I love learning things from you.
The gardening is going strong.
Cheers
It’s a real pleasure sharing your garden experience 😄 Thanks
Nice job Sean
Beautiful! Super progress! Be well, stay safe all. 😊❤🎉
Sean we had the first plant in hanging baskets for the summer. They spread out nicly and bloomed all summer ling. Such a beautiful plant

Yep, I'm in Colorado, and it's going down to 4 degrees (Fahrenheit) tonight. So it's wild to watch Sean planting right now : )

I do the same with the cardboard. Lay it down and cover with compost. It’s great for killing off the grass and creating a nice garden area. ❤
Sean, someone on Facebook was asking for help in identifying a very large unusual copper pot, I’ve referred her to your channel, I’ve never seen anything like it. ☺️
I feel so much better ,I knew you would find stones.
Great job Sean ❤
Nice Video ❤❤

The white one is called dusty miller. It doesn’t do well with lots of water and loves the sun.
Obviously, it’s getting to be winter time. Assuming that what you’re planning now are perennial plants? Cold weather plants?
Great job i learn so much
Onions, sandier soil
Super Sean 👍
I would use those little squares to fill in bare spots in my lawn.
I really enjoy watching your garden 🪴 videos! They are very helpful! Greetings from North Carolina and I hope you all are well! ❤
My granddad used marigolds mixed in his garden to help keep bugs away and attract bees. I am not sure if that helps at all.😂
Yeah, that’s what I always heard plant marigolds for the bugs repellent
The plant you split into 3 looks like a mandevillia which is a very pretty climber.
Yes but it may not survive the winter weather!🇨🇦
Hey Sean, what happened to that bower made from cut branches?
It's still standing will be working on it in the coming months
9:37 What is that? You hang coats on it with coat hangers? And 10:03 Is that a book end?
I think it would be a full time job for you to keep the weeds out! LOL

I have come to the conclusion brambles are not worth the eternal headache and should only be allowed to grow far far away from domestic space.
Why aren't you doing the cottage???
Because planting needs done now for winter veg and spring growth
Instead of removing the patches why didn't you just flip them over? It's going to look great.
Why don't you build above ground planters? That way you don't have to bend down. You could make the yourself. Or some people plant in those big metal farm containers all around.
They need vast amounts of soil to fill
Could put all your brambles, grass cuttings, cardboard at the base the at base of planters and put soil on top
👏👍🌟🍀💐
