Awesome! I really love hazelnuts! Great to see your progress.

Im on my way to Huddon Valley.

Wow, steep grade, be blessed.

Wow!! Those carrots!’ What did you feed them??😮

Very educational,very beautiful done!, strong beautiful lady! Thank you for sharing

Oh yes i did enjoyed this vid, have a wonderful night.😊

Hi Linda do u have video where u first grown your trees? I have received my seeds and not sure if I can propagate now? Will leave it in house though. Am in south east Melbourne. Enjoying your videos. Cheers

Hi Linda, so amazed at how your area looks so similiar to that of Parkes NSW, with its rolling hills and fertile soil. While I am not a perme, as I have never done a course as such, I did read Bill Mollisons book way back in the late 1980's when it first came out and have been building food forests ever since in a variety of different climates and sites....with varied success. Like you we have foxes, and our turkeys love my veggie garden whenever they manage to escape. They are ducks on stilts. Like you we have many tagasaste trees which we harvest all year round as food for our meat rabbits and any confined chickens that are too young to get out and about. The sheep make short work of them too if they get the chance. They are between 21 % and 29% protein and are a complete feed for rabbits. No worry about bloat with sheep but not sure about cattle as we don't have them, we have pigs. The one tree I noticed you don't have which would probably flourish at your place are carob trees. The Carob's at our place have weathered -4C to 45C without looking even the slightest bit bothered. Also we watered them once a week for 3 months then they either lived or died, as we are on tank water, and that was 8 years ago. They are 5 metres high and wide. They are evergreen, fire resistant as they are slow to catch fire apparently and make a superb wind break. You need both male and female trees. They say to plant 8 to ensure you get both. We did, and only got one female. We have 12 others growing now and hopefully we will get a few more girls. The female trees bare pods on their inner branches, disguised well from birds. After 6 years we got our first harvest at Easter. My grandson ran under the tree, disappearing in the thick canopy and reemerged with a chocolate pod in his mouth saying "this is yummy Noonie". We didn't know it had podded. We gathered a pillowcase full that year. Every year since, that one tree has doubled its yield and never been watered once. It starts dropping pods around Australia day. In Parkes the annual rainfall is only 625mm a year. We are on the leigh side of a hill and our annual rainfall is more like 425 mm. So we need plants that can access water from 40m down, by themselves. Carob trees can live well over 200 years and can be under coppiced to create a dense overstorey. For human consumption, I boil the pods for 20 mins then turn off and allow to soak overnight. After I pat dry and split each softened pod with a butter knife to get the seeds out. I then dry the pods by placing them in an oven or dehydrator at 60C until completely dry. Into the coffee grinder. Whallah, hot chocolate substitute. Just add water...no milk, no sugar. So good as a final bedtime soother. Just don't drink the sludge at the bottom of the cup or you will still be getting the fine grit out from between your teeth at xmas. I am going to try yacon for the first time this year and that is how I stumbled upon your channel. You are a great presenter. Good luck and great content.

Hi, I am new to your channel and I plan to watch most of the videos you have. We are starting our permaculture garden this autumn and I am curious about your lime and lemon trees. How do they do in winter? Winters in my region are mild, but there is still possibility for frosts, so I worry that my lime could die if I plant it outside. Do you cover your trees in winter and what do you use for protection against cold?

Lovely farm life. We have ducks too and we do dispatch them on special occasions. Delicious!

My kind of food shopping!! Thanks for sharing Linda 😊

It was so satisfying to see that grass getting removed from the roots of the apple tree. I remember you trying to remove them in another video, but they were too stubborn! Now, we can see why! Wow! What a root ball that grass had!

Your log life is stunning! A nice bit of tree moving action, Linda. I hope the tree produces nicely for you. I guess that being seed grown it'll take longer to fruit? But yes, having rootstock to graft onto is always a good thing.

I never cease to be amazed at your energy! After all that work, I hope the tree produces delicious fruit for you.

Work a job! Hoping the tree grows well in its new location. Looking forward to seeing the changes you plan on making in that area.

Can we plant apple tree cuttings?

Fingers crossed that it fruits. My established plum tree has buds forming so Spring is coming even thought the temps are in the minus first thing in the mornings at present. Take care =-)

That was a big job Linda!! What do you think about apple trees in pots? Do they perform as well as in the ground? Thanks for sharing 😊🌳

Fascinating. I have Muscovies and a few mallard varieties 8 total ducks. Did I hear u say Wales? If u ever want to come to Napa CA USA, please stay w us!

Green manures have been running through my mind too. It's definitely on my list to start experimenting with very soon. Out TAFE garden showed you need to be on top of chopping back because we missed some on the term break 😂 a great way to add organic matter and nutrients in a short space of time. My whole paddock could do with it, something to consider for spring perhaps as the soil really needs some love. Seasonal planting for a year or so while working through my tree lists 🤔

It all looks so green!! Thanks for sharing Linda, love your volunteers 😍🌿

Hi Linda, if your experience with cover crops matches mine (on a smaller scale) you’ll find some of them grow back after you’ve cut them down. I cut some of them again but allow some to continue. If you want a cleaner start for what you plan to plant into that space Jesse Frost’s Living Soil Handbook is a treasure trove of info on cover crops. He crimps them down and then uses tarps of different types to either finish off the cover crop slowly (silage tarp) or solarise it in a few days (tarp that lets the sun in). Hope that is helpful. Great video thanks, Rob

Hey Linda. I’m learning so much from you! Can you recommend any sickle in particular? I do not have one but I see the value of yours! I tried to get a closer look at yours to try to find one like it but you keep it so busy I can’t see it that well! 😅

What we do in Canberra is drop a few potatoes before chop & drop of the winter cover crops and then plant in summer crops once the potatoes are down in late October early November

Hope you're keeping warm this morning Linda? It's been a chilly one here, lovely to see the sun out now as I've got a bit to do outside today, and of course you've inspired me again xx Cathi xx

Lol we have snow possibly expected. As usual you are making me want to get out there. Take care =-)

💚💚💗💗

Good morning Linda, bit frosty this morning but nice to see the sun.🌅Your garden as always is looking amazing.👒

It looks like beautiful cool weather there--perfect for the work you are doing. We are expecting 37-38 degrees C this afternoon. Whew!

Seems a shame after all your work to loose the peaches and nectarine trees to curly leaf. What about a copper spray which would not do a lot of harm during the dormant season in winter. Or some other organic type spray.

Oh….those lovely beeswax candles!

Omg gorgeous native birds. Wonderful. Perhaps you can leave some trees with flowers intact just for them. Well done on your chop and drop and ED as to best times. Are you getting lots of lemons? Lemon buds?

You are very inspiring !! Thank you for sharing your awesome veggie patch 🌿🌸

👍🥰 lovely Hope you doing well😊

Linda how cold does your winter/frost get?

Hello, thank you for the video. What qualities does tagasaste wood have? Is it tough and fibrous? Is it soft and plyable? Is it dense and hard, or light and weak?

Another great video! Is that a battery powered saw? If so what kind? You really should do an Amazon affiliate store.

Looking good, good weed suppressing, bug homes/shelter and feeding the soil. Perfect. I've been digging up my paths and am really pleased how much compost I'm getting =-). Have a great week. =-)

Linda, thank you for making such helpful videos. I'm learning so much from you. I watched your last video about three or four times, because I found so many useful tips. I like the glass panes on your garden bed for a make-shift cold frame. I also, like the idea of hanging a bright pink cloth to remember to check on the seedlings. I'm learning a lot about the Tagasaste tree, lately. Please continue to teach, all you know. I want to learn everything about permaculture! Cheers, from Western Australia. 💗💗💚💚

You make a big job look easy! Love your determination to provide the needed nutrients to your trees. Just curious---do pecan trees grow well in your area?

Great video. I’m looking for tagasate tree seeds to add to my swales. Do you have a source where you buy them. I’m in QLD

Lots of gorgeous, interesting birds love your place. I love wild birds , they are such great entertainment too. We just bought the last trees that we can care for to add to our orchards. It's such an investment in money initially then time to care for them but hopefully I can get them to firstly live then produce eventually. I'll have to keep revisiting your videos. Great job and thank you for sharing lovely ❤❤

Hi Linda lots of good nutrient in those trees to improve the soil

How many years old are the artichoke’s? I have never seen anyone transplant them before very interesting those roots are huge. 🌱💚
