@Edward Elizabeth Hitler i wanna know!
Thank you!
Hey man, just want to say im still here and watching all your videos and it really educates me as a new gardener! Keep up thr good work.
Hi Dan, Thanks for posting your very informative videos. I bought some really sweet nectarines from Tescos last year. I cracked 6 of stones and removed the kernel then wrapped them in wet kitchen roll and placed them in a polythene bag in the fridge for a few months. I put them into a large flower pot and left them in my unheated greenhouse. They've all sprouted and have grown about 15cm high in a matter of a few weeks. Last week I carefully repotted them into individual containers, and apart from the initial shock where a couple of them drooped, they've all recovered. I'm told that they should produce identical fruit to the parent plants in a couple of years. I live on the south coast of England so I'm hopeful that they will survive. I have grown several brown turkey fig trees from cuttings. The parent plant, in the garden hardly produced any fruit - probably the poor soil it's in. Very easy but surprisingly the plants need a lot of water. I grew one from a small twig about the size of a matchstick, initially under a cut off lemonade bottle on the kitchen window sill, then placed it in my greenhouse. It grew to over 1.2 metres and was loaded with fruit the following year. It's still in my greenhouse, still loaded with immature fruit from last year.
@Bob Bailey Cor blimey, well done with the fig cutting! I've got a couple of mango shoots that sprouted from the supermarket stones in my indoors wormery without me even trying, that I've potted to see if they will grow even a tiny bit on my sunny bathroom windowsill (South Coast too, but no greenhouse yet!. I'm so excited to see how they get on. I saw a vid with a lady who'd done it with a peach stone from a lovely peach she'd eaten abroad or something and after a few years in her English greenhouse, the tree started bearing delicious sweet peaches every year.
Also about your fig tree - apparently, the vigour, flavour and colour in fruit come from well-mineralised soil, and how we prune them, which makes sense, I suppose. Good luck with your nectarines!
The outdoor fig not producing much fruit might, as Dan said in this video, be down to having enough nutrients to produce lots of foliage i.e. it doesn't feel pressured into prioritising flowers as it does when kept in a container.
Love the way you explain everything so quick to the point brilliant as usual your definitely the man dan
No nonsense gardening from a normal bloke from Essex!
Man I love your videos Dan. You are one of the dudes that I always learn something new or beneficial from.
Top man and thank you for your awesome videos.
Peace ✌️.
My pleasure totally.
Hey Dan, thanks for a very informative video once again. Looking forward to seeing your Persimmon flourish as they get established. Wow! You have quit a few grape varieties. We are pretty fortunate down south to be able to grow these fruit trees 👍🏾. Happy gardening 🧑🌾 my friend 🙌🏽
Yes, we have great weather here for hardy exotics. Lets hope they do well !
lovely collection of exotic plants you have .
this video will help me for sure to select variety and plants for upcoming summer here in Iceland.
Sounds cool. I remember watching Magnus Ver Magnusson on TV as a kid.
Hope you have a wonderful growing season this year and for many more. Hello from snowy Ireland 🇮🇪
Cheers Mark. Pretty heavy snow there?
Amazing Information about home gardening, thanks for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it.
You are getting a nice range now Dan, especially with the number of grape varieties 👍
Oh yes. I love my grapes as you know!
I absolutely love the term "food forest". As I watched I thought it sounds and looks like a wonderland or Eden (I see another commenter said the same about Eden😁).
You are a busy bee, aren't you?! Keep up the awesome work and tysmfs the videos and information.
I look forward to see the crop this year, too. I think, I'm most excited to see the bananas😁
Happy New Year!
😊🤗💕
Should do well hopefully!
Wow. Super
Cheers!
Great ideas, thank you. My daughter is looking for a seedless grape so Lakemont is now on the list!
A great variety it is!
Useful video cheers mate.
Enjoy.
Always love your videos and garden, thanks dude :)
My pleasure entirely.
You're brave growing all of that!
Exciting stuff!
Hello! Just discovered your channel, been busy planting peach and nectarine trees today up here in Northumberland! Great videos! Cheers!
Thanks for dropping by. Let me know how they get on.
You should see my deadly cherry tree she protects our land from anything but birds.
I can’t wait to grow some persimmon trees and grape vines!! I’m in zone 6a . So far I have apple , pear, and peach trees. You have an incredible variety! I had no idea this was all possible:) thanks
Sounds like you are doing well. Just make sure what you grow is hardy there as zone 6a is considerably colder than here.
cold hardy persimmon:

@@olexander_ralka Wow ! Thank you :)
Very informative video Dan. I will look into getting Suffolk red grape vine as you said it might be suitable for northern areas. I have a black grape vine but have no idea of its variety. It dies produce graoes but not very big ones
That should do well up there. Nice warm microclimate and full Sun.
Good 👍👍you attached fruit photo than good
Cheers.
Great collection of exotics there. I'd also recommend Locquats. Can be tricky to get to fruit, but very hardy and lovely foliage.
They are on the potential list!
@@homegardens7682 I've got a spare tree, about 20cm tall. If interested let me know and can post it
@@chrisbird5811 Your very kind. Thanks for your kindness.
@@chrisbird5811 I probably wont take you up on the offer Chris but I do appreciate your kindness.
@@homegardens7682 No problem. Really are beautiful trees, and worth considering in future.
You have done really well on the exotic front, Dan. Two of my citrus suffered this week as a result of my own failures, not getting out to cover them before a significant freeze. I have a tray of orange seedlings grown from 'late oranges' last spring, they have survived without any problem or extra attention, while other citrus have suffered. As I grew a lot from seed, I hope that it will build its own resilience, I agree with you that initially, when citrus etc come into our country, they need a halfway house as such - conservatory or properly heated and weatherproof greenhouse. Having seen that gentleman grow bananas in Northern Germany I know that he sees things the same way, lots of these plants will survive when at a stronger stage, a few years old or more, but until then they are vulnerable.
It will be interesting to see how this tree gets on. Hopefully it will be a successful tree.
Hi Dan, i have an Autumn Royal in an unheated greenhouse, wow, does it grow, i let it grow 3 branches around each of 3 sides in the greenhouse on streainer wires 6" away from the glass, i have had to cut the growth down to 20% as the weight of the grape bunches was trying to pull the roof in, in the early stages i removed 50 bunches as they were doubled up but even so the amount of bunches was crazy, each about a foot long, my Lakemont is outside but the squirrels each year devestate them so i am building a steel mesh cage to stop that,
I used to have 22 fruit trees but you need to repot them every 3 years or remove from the tub and prune the roots, they were in 70L tubs and 10L tubs but they should have all been transfered to the ground but i am on clay so didn't think it would work so when they stopped growing and producing good fruit i binned them, the Brown Turkey Figs are by far the best, but the late crop usually has to be taken off unless you can cover the tree for the winter.
Love your videos.
Yes! They seem vigorous. Seems heavy cropping.
It was the thors thay put it on tip it's 20th high I had to cut 1 foot of as broken
Whoa Dan nearly as good as the Grden of Eden.
I was thinking the same 😊
Should be very productive in a few years.
Great to see video I want to ask if was given a Yuzu lemon at end of video you said hardy my problem is I live in flat it was plant no one wanted can put out side in spring summer but be in pots and advice please be most helpful
Well draining growing medium.
Cheers
Your welcome.
Sorry 2 ft high any advice would be helpful
another exotic fruit you can grow is the cold hardy kiwi which produces small kiwi fruit the size of a large grape and they have soft skin like grapes, so you eat them whole like grapes. But I do recommend getting the " Issai " variety of cold hardy kiwi since it's the only variety of cold hardy kiwi that is self-fertile and self-pollinating that I know of also the Issai variety can tolerate a zone 4 climate. Which is -35 degrees F without a covering in the winter and it can even tolerate a zone 3 climate or -40 degrees F if you keep them covered in the winter.
Excellent, thanks for that idea, this will hopefully happen one day, 'Jenny'is also another interesting Kiwi variety.
lol, I need to move, Jan 8th in Manitoba usually has 2' to 3' of snow on the ground and -30 -35 degree celsius temperatures
Goodness gracious! That's cold.
Hi Dan good video as usual what software do you use to put your videos together cheers
I upload the videos to the laptop from my Sony a6000 onto a program called Sony Playmemories. I combine them then edit them on Topwin Maker. Its very simple and user friendly which is important to a donut like me!
We have quite heavy clay soil here, would you recommend growing citrus in a polytunnel in raised beds with gravel or similar substrate at the bottom for drainage? Many thanks 😊
That could be a good idea, pea shingle or something could be good.
You should try growing a Satsuma they are extremely cold hardy down to 15 degrees.
This is on the list to get! Not sure when though.
I'm in 8b as well, but to be fair, with climate change I expect we will move into 9a shortly. It's been a few years since we had anything like minus 10 c. Planning on getting 1 or 2 persimmons this winter.
When you graft vines, do you use any particular root stock variety?
And have you tried paw paw? Just planted mine outside after 6 years in and out of the polytunnel, no fruit yet.
I have never grafted grapes, only taken cuttings, I may consider it in the future though. Never tried Paw Paw. What variety are you growing?
Hi love your channel, just a quick question about the sanguinelle blood orange, did you grow it from seed or from a cutting? Thanks darragh
Hi. It was a grafted tree I bought from Victoriana Nursery, here is the link but sadly none in stocwww.victoriananursery.co.uk/Blood-Orange-Tree/k.
@@homegardens7682 thanks, do you know can you grow from seed and yield fruit from that variety of orange? Thanks
why is the foil green ? Doesn't it block the light frequencies that are needed for photosynthesis ? ... asking, not telling :) I saw them on sale recently in local shops too
No effect here. I grow melons and peaches etc with no issues.
I have a small garden and want it to be put to some good use.
Go for it!
I’m
Just wondering about star fruit because it’s so delicious to eat but it’s the cold climate I think will be a problem
I have never grown it. I would guess it could be a bit of trouble trying to grow it in a cool climate. The UA-cam channel Gotropicaluk might be able to help.
Hi,
Lemon tree is just not doing well. The fruit stops growing and they turn black.
Also the leaves are getting eaten so much but I don’t know what’s eating it.
Any tips?
Is it getting plenty of Sun? Also try a high potassium feed.
I managed to grow a mango plant up to a half a foot last year . I planted it in the hard shell . Do you need get it out of hard shell first ?
In the uk 🇬🇧
Hello. I think you do yes. I don't have much experience on this subject so maybe look at a UA-cam video on it.
did u ever do an update on the wine??
Its still in the bottles at the makers house. Hopefully will get some later this year.
Hey handsome...do you have videos of those trees when they are in Summer
It's coming.
Where did you find specific variety of persimmon in the UK? I struggle to find a " Fuyu"
They seem to be more difficult to find now. Maybe just keep looking from time to time and hopefully one will become available.
This looks close to it though. www.thompson-morgan.com/p/persimmon-kaki/t14149TM
Dig that brown turkey up and get a desert king heavy producer and taste way way better. Figs do way better in ground You can thank me later. But absolutely take it out. Good job
Cool. Will look into that. Brown Turkey stays though! Emotionally attached!
Hi man, you do like your Grapes haha, you have several varieties, do Grape vines cross pollinate? I’m definitely going to buy myself that one you said would be the best if only could grow 1 vine. Also want to get one of those the Blood Orange trees. Last summer I found I had a Grape vine growing from my compost Soil, which lost all its leaves during a cold snap in the winter, while on my window seal. I waited till it was at least 10*c at night before I planted it out in a pot, and cut the stem down to about 4-6 inches. Now it has grown new leaves but the stem( for now at least) is not growing, then this spring another Grape seedling coincidently popped up in the same pot. I know they are VERY unlikely to produce edible fruits and may not even last through a full winter outside, but as they grew themselves without any effort from me, I want to see how they do. As you may remember I am trying to grow a mini Forest Garden in Pots, but cos of the lockdown I haven’t been able to develop it as I hoped, but thankfully some locals have managed to get permission to grow a Forest Garden on a green space in my town, literally 3 mins walk from my flat, so I hope to get some cuttings etc from that source. Sorry for long comment! ✌🏽🌻✊🏽🌎
I indeed do! The majority of grapes self pollinate so don't need a pollination partner. This may help. www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/fruits/grapes/grapevine-pollination-needs.htm. Very good. Keep at it. I waited several years before I got back into the allotment 'game'. Patience is a virtue as they say!
@@homegardens7682 Thanks for replying, I think you misunderstood me re Grape Vine pollination, I wasn’t asking if they need another vine as a pollinator. I meant, do Grape Vines in the same vicinity cross pollinate creating cross variety Grapes?. Also I want to know because of the Grape seedlings I have, I was wondering if I planted a Lakemont ( for example) if either plant would effect the other?
@@Kiyarose3999 Aha. I thought you may have meant that, I have heard it is a possibility although I have no experience of that. You have given me food for thought though.
You should plant a Chilean Guava
On the list!
Do you know much about finger lime trees
I have never grown them. Try GotropicalUK or Lyonheart84.

Plenty to eat here.
So basically grapes
Where can I buy seeds? Thanks love your Videos
reelseeds.com is one of my favourites.
@@homegardens7682 thanks,, i left it bit late and now due to covid-19 its crazy.. hope I can manage to get some seeds
Can you send me a small tree bro I am from Bangladesh’s Bangladesh
Sorry, I don't send out trees etc due to time budgetting.
My uncle address they live in uk
Dude, you look angry lol
lol! I work a lot of hours and I have a lot of aches and pains! It comes over in my videos sometimes I think!
@@homegardens7682 Feel for you bro it's written on your face. Don't push yourself too hard. Remember to make time for you and enjoy life. Nobody ends up thankful they worked so hard on their deathbed. I used to run a large business and it drained the life out of me for years. Now I spend as much time as I can surfing and smoking my own homegrown. Can appreciate the grind though.
@@Clan501-Scotland Thanks for caring! Yes, I am currently in the process of making adjustments, I turned 37 the other day and am trying to be more balanced. Anyway, nice speaking with you and your advice is very true.
It's 'per-simmen', not 'percy-men' and bleu is pronounced 'blooh'.
