Shabbat shalom ❤🙏🏻
"Full sun" = in the shade in Florida.
Not interested in living in Florida.
Use lots of natives myself. The roots of natives support the native microbes that aid plant immunity.
Great video 👍
The mystery tree at 45:45 looks like a Rose Apple…. gorgeous delicious
Beautiful property. Clever owners. You’re very tunnel visioned sadly and cannot see how everyone can do this large or small scale. Your comment at the end about only being able to grow commercially with a paddock and rows of trees demonstrates your narrow mind set and why the planet is in trouble. Food forests are the way of the future.
Excellent tour and interview
I also save most of my planting for before supposed rainy spells/storms.😉
Great video. Just like watching documentary film on tv channel. Beautiful couple. Love everything in this garden. Please make more films like this. Thanks
Paul, I do have to disagree about planting young trees just before the storm. If it is the hurricane that she was talking than to me it doesn’t make sense. I noticed you was leaning in my direction as well but you left it alone even though you disregard. If it was just a rain storm than you might be able to agree. But if it was a hurricane I can’t wrap it around my head as it being a smart thing. Here in Central Florida my Banana Trees, Barbados Cherry Tree, Papaya Plants and a few others took a good beaten. My young trees ALL got ripped out of the ground. Note this is just a constructive comment, I am not bashing the idea. I am talking from my experience.
My vote is a rose apple for the unknown tree😁
Thanks for the video! Amanda has been really helpful in the permaculture community. Looking forward to reading her book!
Be very careful with wedelia, it takes over the world! 🤦🏻 I also allowed it to take foothold in my garden, big mistake! It smothers all other groundcovers and, since it’s allelopathic, nothing else grows with it so it becomes a dense monoculture. I spent several weeks pulling every single stem and established “friendlier” groundcovers like perennial peanut, sweet potatoes, frogfruit etc
Another great video. Thanks
Awesome video Paul thanks for sharing such great jobs they're doing
Yes pretty sure is a rose Apple
Fantastic and fascinating
Paul, thank you very much for this awesome tour.
Thank you for sharing! What is the plant with the white flower, at the beginning, next to the firebush?
Wow! Love it!
What an absolutely delightful tour. I loved Amanda’s enthusiasm and generous information. I was sold on the tropical almond and have immediately ordered some seed to plant. It’s known as an Indian Almond also.
Does anyone know what plant she described as being like a chestnut? It sounded something like "achiric labra"
I want to hear the food forest songs!! I run our school’s garden club and I could definitely use some new material!!
Great place. Great content.
Tropical almond were my childhood memories. You could eat the fruits and seeds.
