Thank you for sharing your video. You have a very awesome garden, I love it❤ so well cared for and producing lovely crops. I only have a small court yard and drive way but I'm growing what I can. What fruit would you suggest growing for a small garden please?
Commercial grower here. I want to add to this advice. 1) pick broccoli and don't remove the plant. It will begin to produce mini shoots. 2) harvest cabbage but don't cut the head off from the plant to low to the ground. Leave some leaves and the stem behind and harvest mini cabbage heads again in about a month after you pick the initial head. (Awesome for the crock pot) 3) plant some black raspberries. (The plants are not cheap) but they get less dead canes in harsh winter climates (zone 5) and they produce up to 3 weeks earlier than red varieties like Latham. 4) Asparagus lovers we have a new purple variety from Johnnys seeds called Erasmus. This is a male dominant hybrid which producs DOUBLE the purple asparagus spears over purple passion. 5) I am trying kaolin clay for potato bettle mitigation and I'm loving it! I found this product from this channel! I recommend purchasing this from Harris seeds (you can save almost $30 on shipping over other companies as they do not charge any shipping surcharges due to the products heavy weight. 6) Harvest king makes a very nice hand pump sprayer in a 2 gallon size. This helps to apply the clay as it's very messy and can easily clog plastic tipped cheaper spraying devices. FYI. 7) those whom want to raise a colorful cauliflower I recommend the variety depurple and flame star (orange) these greatly outperformed other varieties to avoid black rot/clef or clubbed roots and other problems in wet climates. Some commercial growers are serious about keeping tricks and varieties a secret but I hope this helps someone.
Thanks! I just this year finally had a semi successful cabbage, and a great cauliflower (after three years of failures). My fall crop in the greenhouse is doing fantastic, so good to know these tips!
You tube should give you one of the awards for being a top educational channel. This is one of thee best channels on you tube. Without a doubt. So much info that is actually useful. Knowing this stuff has so much value
You inspired me to create a food forest. I began 3 years ago. I have a small space but am making the most of it. I’m in zone 8b in California, so I grow different plants at different times than you. Thank you for your inspiration. Trees: orange, apple, plum, pear, pomegranate, apricot, fig, pinyon pine. 2 raised beds and several pots of edible perennials. I have planted below and around the trees. Each year it gets better!
What are your top favorite tasting varieties of everything you’ve had from lettuce to the tree (go in as much detail as you want? And how long did the pinyon pine take to produce?
I'm so impressed with your garden. What would be helpful is if you showed us 1. How you fertilize (and how often), how you mix and spray the clay. etc. etc.....essentially, your secrets to having such a luccious garden - with instructions. ty
The kaolin clay spray (Surround) that he uses is commercially available, and the instructions come with it. (It is not just regular clay. 😉). It does work well!
I would love to know the rate of application of compost also, and kaolin surround spray also. Which videos were they specifically that instructed how to mix and use that? TIA
'Tuck's Gardening Channel' featuring James Prigioni. He was a real comedy star in this video. I love the interactions between you both. Thank you for giving us a tour of your wonderful food forest 🌿❤️
James, watching this channel is like a glimpse into the Millenium. No one anywhere needs to be hungry. I manage a forest for fuel management purposes, and I can safely say that what goes up in flames due to lack of proper management could feed the entire planet. Billions of tonnes of wonderfully biodiverse humus feedstock are lost almost every year. As a single man with simple tools, I manage to make ten tonnes of compost every year by doing this exceptionally rewarding task. Thanks so much for your inspirational tours.
I staggered my carrots so not trying to can up 2 beds I got 19 pints from first bed and a wheel barrow full of second bed I just harvested, got my jars in dishwasher now so I can get these canned up. Thanks for telling me I have to pull more cucumbers in the morning same with zucchini, I can’t wait to pick my egg plants, got 50 bulbs of garlic drying in my shed, now if I can stop eating my cherry tomatos while watering I could have some for my salads lol.
Love that you call out that the apple tree was from seed. That's the pride of a gardener who has accomplished something. Love the enthusiasm and pride.
I have been watching your videos randomly whenever they were recommended for years. How is it possible that you always have something new to talk about and new fruits to share? How huge is your garden? lol
Unbelievable!! I’ve never seen a food forest like this before!! Many blessings to you! Can you please do a video on the “7 layers” of planting you mentioned in this video? Thank you! Shared!
I love your enthusiasm for gardening, never new garden’s could look so good. You inspired me to add some more raised beds this year and some more fruit trees.
I grew up in a valley where there were hundreds of raspberry farms. They supplied major manufacturers in Canada with frozen fruit and jam. The farmers never cut the canes.
James, I was so inspired by your talllll tomatoes last year that I put my stakes in and had my plants ready...then broke my arm and hurt my back. That was last year. This year it's game ON!!!!
Love how tuck left you hanging when u moved over to get him in shot 😂😂 love ur vids dude you have taught me so much , my Yorkshire terriers got their first taste of radishes and loved them , peas on the way🫛🫛
What I’d give to have a garden like yours! I’m in central Virginia and the recent cold weather we’ve had really stunted our plants growth! Today it was so hot after only hitting the mid 60’s for the last few weeks. It was 86 here today! I had to water heavily to keep things going! I also planted elderberry bushes today…..I hope they make it! We’re both around our mid 70’s and it’s hard to grow enough to keep us going all winter, but we still try. We’d never be able to eat all you have but we have family who could care less about gardening who will probably come begging if things keep going like they are now. Thank for all you teach us! I adore Tuck! I have a little almost 14 year old chihuahua who loves carrots, green beans and other garden goodies! I’ve planted lots of snow, snap and regular peas. I’m sure she’ll love them! I can’t get over Tuck loving radishes…..he’s a keeper for sure! Please keep giving us hints…..we have tons of wild blackberry bushes! Husband has tried for years to get rid of them…..he’s losing the battle and we have a super crop coming in this year! The wild bushes are completely loaded! I can’t wait to start harvesting! Thanks James….you’re a really good teacher!!
The way Society is right now it's very hard to have time for gardening unless you're retired or are passionate about doing it. You are blessed to have both time and passion for gardening. I wish you all the best with your harvests this year and hopefully your family will be able to dedicate the time and energy it takes to have a productive garden one day. ❤
60 today. 90 yesterday. Central Connecticut. Started saving seeds last fall. Researching what to winter/spring harvest. First time trying garlic last November. Swiss chard and scallions wintered over and gave us very early pickings now going to seed which I'll be saving. Day lilies bloom early. Started Roma indoors looked sad. When we planted in the garden had fast recovery and have few tomatoes and blooms. Praying for the best.
Hi James! You and Tuck are my favorite gardeners! I love ❤your channel bcs you have fun and educate. And have Tuck! He must be the healthiest Yorkshire on the east coast! Or is he an Australian Terrier? Either way he is the King and we all love him - and his pawpaw too! Lol! Thank you for all your advice. I’m a beginner at 65 living in the Seattle area and I sure wish you would come out here to one of our garden shows. Please? And thank you! ❤🥗🥦🫛🥬🥒🥕🍆🥭🍑🍒🌶️🧄🥔🧅♥️
Great timing. Just started pouring here and I’m now stuck inside. The food forest is looking amazing! I really appreciate your channel. I learn so much.
Hi James, I'm relatively new to your channel. I'm learning new things from you all the time. I was born and raised in South Jersey and blueberries are not the only thing Jersey is known for. Jersey tomatoes are the BEST! Haven't lived there in many years and I miss those Jersey tomatoes among other things, like the boardwalk. I am attempting to grow in a 22"-high raised bed using the Hügelkultur method. Am having to do everything by myself so it's taking a long time for me to fill the bed with logs and branches. At 77-yrs-old, I just can't do everything as fast as I used to. Thank you for sharing your food forest and your sweet Tuck with us!
Excited to see my end result in the near future. It'll never be over but I built my first fenced in raised beds. 40ftx3ft and just ordered 2 peach trees, and one apple tree that produces 3 different types of apples apparebtly... so we will see... excited to do my whole yard like yours in the future.
Thanks James, I'm from Philippines. This is very helpful cuz I always have to replant a lot like my cucumbers, squash and peas and beans. I'm still studying in college so sometimes I forget to harvest frequently😅 The sunny and hot weather makes the fruits ripen faster.
Thanks for the tour, James. I'm impressed with the variety of stuff that you grow. How do you research veggie varieties to determine which ones to grow?
Love your channel just started my first garden with my grandpas help and its going well. He always grows a big garden. In exchange for his help on getting mine started i got him some blackberry bushes and strawberry plants. Think im gonna get him some blue berry plants, peach and apple trees next to really get him a good fruit harvest.
Hi James, You may have answered this somewhere before. You are saying about harvesting early to have more grow. Say the peppers or cucumbers. What do you do to have them finish ripening? I mean I know if you pick a green pepper it will turn red after sometime or even tomatoes that I have had fall off and put in window in my house but wasn’t sure on how to do for other veggies. I have tomatoes, cucumbers, broccoli, cauliflower, peppers, chives and basil this year. Thank you again. And give hugs to Tuck!
Cucumbers you can eat when they are small or when they get a bit bigger, you just don't want the seed to ripen. The cucumbers are ready to eat at about any size but if they start getting overly large or yellowing then they are past ripe. Peppers you pick when they are green and eat them when they are green they won't continue to fully ripen, but the plant will produce more peppers and you let the second round of peppers fully ripen on the plant. This concept applies to most things that you can eat at any stage and crops that don't have to ripen on the plant like watermelons, winter squash, melons, etc.
@@jamesprigioni thank you. You said something about joining. I did not see a join button. Would love to be apart of your garden adventures lol oh and Tucks of course
Thats good to know about how to mix the clay. That's what we do for mixing dry flour into liquids for gravies if we are adding them to thicken it. That way no big clumps of goo thst are dry inside. Tuck is a ravenous little monster lol.
You are a great teacher in nature and can help us all along in our garden journey, thank you. You are wise and getting wiser every day. I do love your new merchandise which is more artistic than in the past. Love to see it .... I like that phrase ! We are battling Pocket Gophers as a pest but have Ladybugs, Wasps, Dragonflies, and Spiders helping us out. Do you have Jumping spiders ??, they are cute, smart and helpful in the garden. My Jack-doodle loves everything that your sweet Tuck does.
Wow! This is a spring harvest! Amazing! In Canada we are well behind in timing except maybe for the southern most areas of Ontario which are same latiitude as N. California.
Yes we even had frost where i am after May long weekend. My plants are looking stunted. I'm hoping our first Frost will be delayed a little bit so we can Harvest enough of the veggies and fruits beforehand 😅
Thank you! I followed this advice from you for cucumbers last year and got more than I ever have before. I'm still a novice and I really need tips like this.
@@monicamorioneswillbrandt2429 don't leave them on the vine for long, only until they reach average size. If you miss one and it yellows then the vine might start to cut production.
I love your videos and have learned so much! I am in Ocean County, NJ also. I just planted 3 apple trees. We built the tomato trellises that you showed and they are working good!!
Love, love, love your channel! You have inspired me to enlarge my garden this year. We brought in 18 cubic yards of soil pep bark mulch last fall to improve our poor soil. It made a huge difference!
Woohoo! Just picked my first blueberries of the season!! I'm North Jersey, so, a bit later than you. Keep those hints and tips coming, James. There's always more to learn!!
The fullness of your food forest is always amazing! I’d love to know what you do with the food that you can’t eat! Lol. And it would be fun to see what the beds look like as they’re growing in, before they’re full.
Thank you so much! I did not realize that applies to so many plants, but it makes perfect sense. I naturally harvest peas and green beans that way, but I will apply it to my other plants as well.
I have a Frost peach tree. It always out produces all the other varieties. The taste is similar to red haven and they ripen about the same time as red haven. Highly recommend
Wow - so helpful! I grew up with acres of garden crops to grow and harvest! Now here in zone 7a / 7b I am growing in part sun / part shade and it is such a dance to get things growing and producing. Any support for that kind of environment would be most welcomed. I so appreciate your beautiful presentation and hard work - and wonderful enthusiasm for gardening! Happy gardening!
i have added the torinjina hybrid organic tomato to my garden this year.. apparently 10to12 feet tall i'm in northern ontario canada.. we'll hope for the best and try to keep up with you.. thx James for all the amazing knowledge
I only have a balcony and had a great harvest of tomatoes last year. Trouble getting bees up to my balcony . I ask neighbor across the street so we cut down the 4 ft high weeds and I was given. A small space. I never have been so confronted with insects pests squirrels , grasshopper, snails wasps that killed the bees. I denied my garden for 10 days so no water while roofers crushed my garden. I have been so discouraged YET I have learned so much. I love each plant as a gift from God and honor its desire to grow. What a wonderful learning opportunity.
yes, I'm already stunned, Forget straight rows and careful spacing. Forget pesticides and tilling and stuff, I;m doing my garden differently from now on!!! thank you so very much!!
I am out here in So California and have squash, tomatoes, herbs, onions in garden. My tomatoes are starting to flower and squash is beginning to produce. thanks for the tips and video
I have gardener for years and this makes since next year I am on it. Last year ground moles or critters ate our entire garden so we did grow a garden this year.❤
I love that you taste the fruits of your labor on camera for all of us to see! I’m going to add rainier cherries to my list of trees to grow in SoCal next year. Wish me luck. ❤
I love how packed your beds are! No room for weeds and super happy plants! Living in Alaska I only get 1 shot at abundance each year. I am so inspired by your practice to companion plant. Thank you for your teaching and energy! Blessings!

Since Tuck is KING, he should be able to do anything he wants.
Agreed! 😜

Even Kings need to be kept in checkl😂
For sure. Our government is perfect example of kings out of control. Sorry, had to say it.

Tuck looks like he’s doing much better. 😘😻
I can watch Tuck for hours! Much health to you both!
Thank you! I followed this advice from you for cucumbers last year and got more than I ever have before. I'm still a novice and I really need tips like this.
What was it?😊
@@monicamorioneswillbrandt2429 don't leave them on the vine for long, only until they reach average size. If you miss one and it yellows then the vine might start to cut production.
I have never seen anyone with more passion for gardening than this guy. He even makes a lazy guy like me want to start growing fruit.
Your yard is nice size. Looks great!
Tuck is so adorable it makes me want to get a little pup to be my gardening friend.
Your videos are my GO TO when it comes to gardening! Love you and Tucker! 💕✨🍅
Love your content!
You have so much food growing, it can't be all for you. Do you share this with others? Love your channel!
I love your videos and have learned so much! I am in Ocean County, NJ also. I just planted 3 apple trees. We built the tomato trellises that you showed and they are working good!!
OMG,that's probably the most healthiest dog I've ever seen.He can eat almost al kinds of veggies.❤
Your garden is so luscious. Your cool weather helps. It's beautiful.
I love your garden! Thank you for showing and teaching us.
Thanks for watching Pip
Love, love, love your channel! You have inspired me to enlarge my garden this year. We brought in 18 cubic yards of soil pep bark mulch last fall to improve our poor soil. It made a huge difference!
I love your garden, it's amazing. Tucker is adorable ❤️. I'm learning so much from you. I may want to try square foot gardening now.
Awesome square-' gardening. Your garlic looks great !
Wonderful tip! I had no idea after all these years. I'm going to start harvesting earlier now for more cucumbers.
Love it!.. Very organized and healthy veggies and fruit trees, I wish I could have all the material to start my own garden ❤❤❤
Woohoo! Just picked my first blueberries of the season!! I'm North Jersey, so, a bit later than you. Keep those hints and tips coming, James. There's always more to learn!!
The fullness of your food forest is always amazing! I’d love to know what you do with the food that you can’t eat! Lol. And it would be fun to see what the beds look like as they’re growing in, before they’re full.
Tuck is so cute ❤❤❤ I really love your videos. I watch your videos everyday. Gardening is what I want to learn and do after I retire
The boss cracks me up! I have never seen a dog love their veggies so much! ❤
Question, How do you preserve all those fruits and vegetables ? Thank you
Thank you so much! I did not realize that applies to so many plants, but it makes perfect sense. I naturally harvest peas and green beans that way, but I will apply it to my other plants as well.
I have a Frost peach tree. It always out produces all the other varieties. The taste is similar to red haven and they ripen about the same time as red haven. Highly recommend
Wow - so helpful! I grew up with acres of garden crops to grow and harvest! Now here in zone 7a / 7b I am growing in part sun / part shade and it is such a dance to get things growing and producing. Any support for that kind of environment would be most welcomed. I so appreciate your beautiful presentation and hard work - and wonderful enthusiasm for gardening! Happy gardening!
i have added the torinjina hybrid organic tomato to my garden this year.. apparently 10to12 feet tall i'm in northern ontario canada.. we'll hope for the best and try to keep up with you.. thx James for all the amazing knowledge
Thanks- the tips on when to harvest are very helpful!
I am so ready to get moved this autumn and grow grow grow a food forest next year! Your beautiful garden inspires me ❤
I only have a balcony and had a great harvest of tomatoes last year. Trouble getting bees up to my balcony . I ask neighbor across the street so we cut down the 4 ft high weeds and I was given. A small space. I never have been so confronted with insects pests squirrels , grasshopper, snails wasps that killed the bees. I denied my garden for 10 days so no water while roofers crushed my garden. I have been so discouraged YET I have learned so much. I love each plant as a gift from God and honor its desire to grow. What a wonderful learning opportunity.
You must have some very lucky family, friends and neighbours as I can't imagine how you could eat all that produce by yourselves 😋
yes, I'm already stunned, Forget straight rows and careful spacing. Forget pesticides and tilling and stuff, I;m doing my garden differently from now on!!! thank you so very much!!
We love Mr. tuck and you And your camera lady. You guys are doing a great job. Thanks for sharing. God bless y’all.
I am out here in So California and have squash, tomatoes, herbs, onions in garden. My tomatoes are starting to flower and squash is beginning to produce. thanks for the tips and video
I have gardener for years and this makes since next year I am on it. Last year ground moles or critters ate our entire garden so we did grow a garden this year.❤
I love growing my own food, but this guy, James you have inspired me to for much more. Thanks bro...
So much knowledge imparted in a short time. You and Tuck are amazing!
I love that you taste the fruits of your labor on camera for all of us to see! I’m going to add rainier cherries to my list of trees to grow in SoCal next year. Wish me luck. ❤
I love how packed your beds are! No room for weeds and super happy plants! Living in Alaska I only get 1 shot at abundance each year. I am so inspired by your practice to companion plant. Thank you for your teaching and energy! Blessings!
