Good info. DIdn't know it had such a unique root ball. Thanks for sharing.
It surprised me as well.
Enjoy❤😊please sprout!
Thank you! Fingers 🤞
@DancingTreetopsFamilyFarm you make me wonder so much about the sprouts
@@mariaelenaloveslovethey say patience is the gardener's best friend...
So nice ❤🌎❤
Thanks 🤗
Xin chào ,kỹ thuật làm vườn và chăm bón cây trồng của các bạn rất tốt 👍.
🎉I'm going to plant 3 🥭 from store bought to add in my small patio garden from Maryland happy growing I will be keeping them inside until Spring
I've seen plenty of potted mangos produce, and I've seen plenty of mango seedlings produce. As long as you have patience, it'll be a great victory one day.
Good advice. I saw my neighbor was getting some, so I asked from where and he told me a neighbor had a son with a tree trimming business and that this father walks by my house daily. Stopped him, introduced ourselves and he kindly hooked me up. Got 8 loads so far this year and am about to resume with more.
That is awesome! I'm sure that's a big help with your permaculture project. Did you notice a difference in your soil because of the woodchips?
@@DancingTreetopsFamilyFarm I did! I found it much easier to maintain my new plants as the mulch helps immensely in retaining moisture.
Good rescue video.
Luckily you have quite a few plants that like water. That is actually important to know here in Florida where we have a monsoon season. I lost two plants to Helene and Milton as they didn't like all the heavy rain, Longan and Jackfruit. I had planned on moving the jackfruit as I planted it too close to a structure and the Longan wasn't a variety I really valued, so not such a big deal. Good luck with the sugar cane!
I'm sorry about the Longan and Jackfruit. Were they big? I lost a pignut hickory and a bunch of beauty berries, but we've got plenty of experience with flooded plants and we learn something every time.
@@DancingTreetopsFamilyFarm No my plants were 3 gallon plants put in the ground earlier this year. We will get another more desirable longan and plant it high n dry along with more jackfruit, probably from seeds. Sorry about your Hickory and BB. I have a slope on the back of my property that beauty berry grow on their own. It drains nicely there.
I saw a nursery man with a strong tool 4 moving pots wo bending ... lifting ...or touching storm waters it had a strong good handle 4 ur hand 2 hold and sometypeof clamp hook 2 pull push drag along the potted plant. I saw it and that is all I can remember. Good luck with ur harvests. I had 2 sacrifice a 1/4 acre of wildlife 2 save my neighbors from storm surge. The city men were here 2 mark more trees today. They marked an old huge cypress 2 cut. I washed off the X they sprayed. I have 2 guard that tree. I write this much cause b aware people people will cut your trees and steal the wood. Probs cypress Wood $5k ? $2k. Enough cypress 2 paneleling a library Priceless 2 meNot for sale. B aware looters use storms 2 steal wood. Kill trees. Looters. I researched it a valuable essential root 4 water sun soil protection. Low flammable grass ...oil is in scented roots .khus khus jamaican perfume . The vettiver institute has all the research. I ordered the roots from an island. If any1 wants 2 know I will try 2 plants 2 c . Vettiver grass Controls water features.
Lots of work there. No fun but necessary. Good job.
You got that right! We've cleared quite a big area by hand already....but we wouldn't recommend it.
Wow, how amazing. Love how dense your food forest is. So many starts too! Impressive. Yes, just get started. We were initially held back in the beginning and wasn't getting much done. Now we just put the plants in the ground and will move if necessary later. Love your garden by your front door. Hopefully with any luck, we will be getting fruit from near our front door soon.
@@FurFeathersandFlowers thank you. We are hoping to get more space to grow in 2025.
@@DancingTreetopsFamilyFarm Best wishes for new space. I know you will use it efficiently 🙂
Indeed, nothing leaves the land! My neighbor put out 8 bags of leaves after Milton. I asked him if I could take them and return the "Lowes" bags to him for re-use and he was happy. I was happy to get the material, win win.
Free bagged leaves are the best. We have a few folks that call when they put out leaves, and we're quick to pick up.
You are a good soul. You take your challenges and brush them off and move on. So sorry to hear about your family car. Is that salt water? Goji berry likes water. You have quite the food forest there. Hoping the waters have dissipated for you so you can get in there to clean up.
Thank you. Its' freshwater. Our food forest is right next to a large piece of wetland, which is wonderful...most of the year.
Awesome. Keep up the good work
All the best 2 u and your family. 1 time 🌀 irma brought tiny orchids. U may know... when the ground is spongy trees can still fall. I like your little red christmas drink Sorrell. Rest and enjoy your plant life.❤🌎 ❤
Oh, yes, they're still coming down 😢
NICE! My stores have NO fruit trees 🙄!
Impeach DeSantis.
Thank you for your knowledge! Enjoy!
Love!
Great front yard food and trees. Congratulations!
Thank you!

Great educational video😊!

Thank you for growing and being so generously alive for yourself and others. Enjoy your new friends. 🌿 ☀ 🍃 😅😊 ☺ 😅
Thanks so much 😊
Hi! So far so good. 🌿 🍃 🌸 🍹 ❤ i love the gentle green frogs that live in the newest still curled up banana leaves. Enjoy your peace!
Cactus Christmas tree will take the heat.
Is the fruit good? I got a small plant back in December. This thing hasn’t produced any fruit but its vines have grown all over my hand rails on my top deck. It’s got 25ft long sections. Does it need another plant to grow fruit?
It's an acquired taste...but the health benefits are amazing, plus we eat the leaves and use the flowers as well. Do you know what kind you have and how old it is? Ours usually start fruiting within 1 - 2 years of planting, and no the purple kind from the grocery store doesn't need a pollinator. Ours have a tendency to start flowering after a storm or days of heavy rainfall.
Thank you
Excellent care ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Having problems understanding your accent. Sorry!
Why is it called the "Food Forest"?
We have hundreds of fruit trees and edible plants growing throughout.
Greetings earthlings
You could have checked them to make sure they were still alive. They look dead. It’s not because they weren’t perfectly good plants at one point but it’s that the workers don’t water them and they die from that. You could have scratched the bark to check if it’s green underneath. The ones that are green under the bark are still alive.
I can't wait to see what lives! What a steal!!
We're a little fearful that it will be a complete fail.
Great idea, Thanks! 👍
I would definitely check to see if the roots are even alive at this point, most stores don’t take great care of the bare root things
Oh yeah, i certainly do not expect all plants to be alive. I was in a time crunch, otherwise I'd inspected them a bit more. I'll do a follow up video to show the condition and which plants survived.
@@DancingTreetopsFamilyFarm looking forward to it. If any of them survive I will instantly be otw to tractor supply 🤟🏼
Wow!!! I’m going to head there now!! And they were having a sale the last 2 weeks
Please let us know if you found something good. We'd love to see a video too.
There's something so fulfilling about bringing a plant that is on the brink of death back to its former glory. Yes! Agree 100%! Buy them at a steal, and let them do their thing!!!
Oh, I agree. They don't all survive, but I sure do have a lot of rescue plants in my garden. Do you have a favorite rescue plant?
Please get extra knowledge from pepper geek channel. Thank you
At us. We're from central Florida now in North Florida too 😁 currently still stuck in the city but can't wait to get back to the woods. We miss the connection to nature dearly.
We thought we moved to the country...but the city is surrounding us with haste. Last week they began putting up a house right next to us, and I no longer have a beautiful nature view out my kitchen window. Still dreaming of true countryside...
