Will be a Food Forest 🌱

If you're just doing restoration a flood plain would be great. So many types of trees and other plants can thrive there. My yard floods every year and I planted accordingly.

Avocado 🥑 have done me dirty as well here in Houston. Ive tried 3 over the past few years. Then moved on to other things.

I have growing wild, Mexican petunia they’re purple I’ve been seeing white and pink varieties of it all around this area

Can you post a link to the brush cutter please

If anyone wants a ton of shrimp plant, I am an hour north of houston.

Not a Wandering Dude, nice yard

I think the “Chinese Windmill Palm” may be a Cabbage Palm. Cabbage Palms are native to the southeast US

Son, You have a contagious spirit! You will be sucessful son, your personality will steer you! Enjoy the ride!

You fail to say the sago palm is highly poisonous

Nice work! We have a lot of the same plants. I'm in Houston as well. 🙌

Wonderful Paul! I live south of Houston and am so curious where you decided to buy property. I've been looking around the Cleveland area!

Holy cow! While I LOVE vines too Virginia Creeper is hands down the most invasive plant I've ever encountered. They start innocently enough and within a couple months that sneaky plant will be growing all pretty and 20 feet away you'll have a once beautiful bush dying out of nowhere. Virginia Creeper sends DEEP underground runners with a node every few feet spitting out INSANE roots beneath the soil and I'm not talking about runners that are the width of a #2 pencil I'm talking about runners that are the size of those chisel point fat ass permanent markers, and equally hard to cut through. Most plants have a mother plant and everything traces back to that, but this very pretty but murderous vine will strangle the roots of every plant it encounters underground with the added nightmare of about every 5 feet or so it sends another mother plant up to the surface to then send off her own 50 runners beneath the surface. I tried to pull one out today with my Polaris and a fireman's tow strap... it broke the strap.🤬 I ended up having to dig it out the best i could by hand. Just on quick inspection I see that there are 8 more mothers that came up so I came on UA-cam to see if there's a better to get this greedy hussy out and stumbled onto this video, I love the idea! I just want to suggest you pot your cuttings in a VERY strong pot and then either bury the pot leaving a little of the lip above ground so you can monitor that she's not sending out 30 foot runners beneath the soil or to keep the pot above ground. Whatever you do you HAVE to be the boss at the beginning because I PROMISE with certainty that if you don't you will be digging your entire yard up within the next 2 or 3 years if not sooner. Keep this cute little Mistress of The Devil himself in check

Now dis is art...gotta have a eye and creativity for dis!

How many gallons was this tank?

I love it

Cillantro never was an edible option

❤❤👏👏❤❤

No way paul went from kicks to gardens great stuff paul u a legend

Please don’t take the Lord’s name in vain.

Wear a tanktop next time hotness ❤❤❤

You can have mine

Take care, cycas is very poisonous to dogs! The leaves, the nuts.. it’s the reason I need to transplant one.

How the fuck do you memorize and recognize that many plant species??

I put a wildflower meadow and turns out great but in some areas the weed grows faster, how did you get rid of weed?

your gonne kill your tree, plain tacky and a liability..

Brautiful. I love it

I dug out 3 3ft palms yesterday and sitting in the back bare root, i will plant them today but will they survivive?

It's not quick and easy, but you should try to attract bats, dragonflies, and swallows to your plot. They're nature's mosquito killers.

Thank you for sharing. Your DIY was the best in keeping costs down and something I could do by myself.

It's a weed.

Texas weather and environment is something else , can’t wait to see how the plants do

I wish I could do this

How much did it cost

would be cool to have wetlands and streams mapped out on your property! that's what I do for work

I don't know if you know, but mulberry trees can get HUGE.....up to 60 or 70 feet in some cases. I have one that volunteered in my yard and grew quickly before I even knew what it was (only started gardening hardcore a couple of years ago and identifying the various plants/trees that I have - I am in Houston also). It's only about 6 or 7 years old now and is at least 25 feet tall already (and probably almost as wide, too) and doesn't show any signs of slowing down. About 2 or 3 years ago, it started fruiting modestly. This past year, it absolutely RAINED fruit. I was shocked.. Fortunately, the "rain" only lasts a month or two in the spring, but it made quite a mess this year. I like eating the fruit, too, but you should be warned that tiny little bugs infest the fruit QUICKLY, even while it's still on the tree. I am not sure what the bugs are, and maybe you don't care much, but just thought you should know since your kid was eating them from the tree. The bugs are very hard to get rid of just by simple washing. If you research this issue at all, you will also find that mulberries and their hybrids and cultivars are a genetic and taxonomic mess. I THINK what I have is a white mulberry (Morus alba), but I am not entirely sure. I think Persian mulberries might be the equivalent of black mulberries (Morus nigra), but I'm not sure of that, either. I know where my tree most likely came from, though. There is a HUGE mulberry in an open field near my house, so I think the volunteer probably came from there. The last thing to know is that my poor tree got OWNED by web/tent/bag worms (whatever the hell they're called - they love fruit trees and they have been bad in Houston this year) twice already this year. The last time (about a month ago), my poor tree was absolutely COVERED with those damn things and I had worms all over my house for days once they started to emerge from their webs (they are harmless, but they will chow down on pretty much ANY kind of fruit tree leaves). I had a couple of new mulberry volunteers in pots on my porch and one of those got completely owned by the worms. They seem to be super resilient, though, as both my large tree and the small volunteer leafed out again quickly and already look fine now as if nothing happened. However, last year I cut a few branches off the large tree and I think I may have given it some kind of disease that caused many of the leaves to get spotty yellow and fall off (but it's doing much better this year; I still see a few bad leaves here and there, though). So I recommend pruning in the winter when there's no threat of rain instead, and making sure you seal up any large cuts as thoroughly as possible so diseases don't get in and affect your trees. I love my tree. It's been gorgeous with beautiful leaves most of the time (and the birds really like it, too), but it has had its issues, just so you know. It's a bit higher maintenance than I expected.

FYI, Vitex is not native and is invasive in much of Texas.

Hopefully.nobody steals those plants right off the roadside..

Go plantdaddy! Did you do horticulture at university? Love the horticultural verbiage and the juxtaposition to thrift wizardry

you should try getting a Post Hole Digger and Tamping Bar. a long steel digging tool prettty much. your back is gonna thank you and it's more efficient than a pick axe for digging hard ground. enjoying the content.

We always trying to get at you sexually. 😅 But, seriously, love your videos! I get really excited to see more videos on the abandoned property.

Takes out ligustrum and puts in Vitex… Vitex is invasive in Texas….

Hey Paul, thanks for this. I've been thinking of buying acreage around the west/north Houston for my family and needed this motivation.

I love your videos. Suggestion... how about trying to propagate all the native plants you already have at your house and then plant them in your property. It'll save you some money and be able to fill up that property quickly 😊

Would love to see arial see

I love your attitude. Definitely check out your local nurseries. I’ve found they have more well adapted plants and trees (especially for fruiting trees) and can often times be cheaper than even the clearance plants at the big box stores. Check out Central Texas Gardner for lots of info on native plant species and chip drop of you are looking for some free mulch (depending on delivery area). Keep up the good work!

native american seed hat 🥶🥶❄️❄️

Great work but you definitely need to make friends with someone who owns a small dozer. I see a tractor in your future.

Vitex? There are so many cool natives! Also you can be chop and dropping instead of burning. Also this is your chance to get in swales and berms before you get too far.
