What a lovely little oasis Danielle has made for herself. My mind almost can't comprehend your local landscape, it is so different to my own and it's compelling to watch. Many thanks for working Christmas as well as I know making this video took away from your family time. I love how your son is touring the garden with you and taste-testing, what a great learning experience for him. Happy Holidays!
Fennel is really good for soups, stews and stocks, you have to be careful with it though, use it sparingly at the beginning, cook the liquorice flavour out of it. We call that Basil Tulsi Basil, Indians call it sacred Basil and it's important in their religion. Tastes very similar to Holy Basil in Thailand, bees go crazy for it. It's used as mid tier shrub in permaculture. It's very easy to take cuttings from, take a pencil size hardwood cutting and put it in water, then you have a new free plant. I use it for thai and Indian curry, its extremely good for you. Ex chef 😂 retired.
Fennel is also a good plant companion to grape vines from which great wines can be made. Only the great chefs whose minds are unfettered by nouveau cuisine can master their use.
The plant you called little violets are nasturtiums which would be good for your farm. You can eat the flowers and they are great ground cover too. That l,ocal landscape is amazing and plenty of scope for little dams all over the place........
Many people like fennel tea. It is a little bit sweet. And dill for fish sauce and pickled gherkins or potato salad. Wow! This are a lot of pumpkins? We only had one on each plant. Or are it honey melons? Those are quite orange-yellow. What a marvellous allotment!
Very neat landscape! It looks so desolate, like a wasteland, yet it's a thriving ecosystem. One thing to think about when you're traveling like that is to maybe gather new strains of grasses that you can bring home. That grass growing by the water tanks was very strong and lush, so it might be a strain that could do well at home. At the least, it shows you how the native grasses can really thrive and produce a bumper crop of organic material if you give them enough water. The ground is plenty fertile enough and doesn't need amending with manure and the like. All that's needed is water, and the grass will grow exactly as you see there at those water tanks. Lesson to be learned, I think.
Great stuff Danou! I really wish I was around to meet up and chat! Great that you got to see Danielle's place and show it to others! And great to see Marcelle in action as well! What a storey that gentleman has! And thanks for the kind words! It's tough out here in the Namib, but we soldier on!
What a beautiful video. Love the journey through the garden and the beautiful landscape footage. I love fennel but it is an acquired taste. We wrap fennel in foil, add some butter and freshly grinded pepper and place it between coals when we braai as a side dish. Fennel is a key ingredient in many French dishes. And yes, fennel and dill is a member of the Apiaceae family (carrot and parsley) and is related to cumin, caraway and anise. I would love to see which plant you refer to that is similar to the perennial basil. My bet is that it is more likely a plant from the salvia family. Plants in the genus Salvia are herbs, shrubs, or subshrubs and are usually perennial and aromatic. The leaves can be simple or compound and are arranged oppositely along the square stems. The flowers are usually tubular with two lips and only two stamens and are borne in terminal inflorescences. Many salvia plants are drought tolerant and a great addition to attract pollinators and increase species diversity. I would suggest that she plant the guava close to a tree. Mine also struggled in the harsh sun but I moved it. Now it is growing underneath a Witstinkhout tree. Last year it was bearing so much fruit that the branches broke off from the weight of the fruit.
HAPPY CHRISTMAS DANOU. Thank you for sharing other people's gardens. Lovely to see Danielle's garden. If everyone made even a small garden and grow what they like to eat, it would encourage other people to do so too. I love Nasturtiums, I have them growing between all the vegetables, helps to confuse the pests. My favourite Nasturtiums are the Alaska variety, their leaves are variegated. Very pretty. Have a great day with your lovely family. 💚🌿💚🌿💚🌿💚🌿💚🌿💚🌿💚🙌👍👍
Merry Christmas to you, your family, Lucy's, Emmanuel and all the guys working hard to make a difference. Wishing you a very happy, healthy and abundant New year from Crete Greece
There are little bits of hope you keep finding on your journey. Sad that the front will become a lawn. Hope you and your family have a great Christmas.
The nasturtium is wonderful in salads both flowers and leaves, also the seeds pickled make a substitute for capers (used for tartare sauce great for fish dishes)
Thank you for taking us along on your travels and the lady was very kind to welcome your camera as well! We used to have Lantana growing in robust bushes in Saudi, one of my favourite flowers, very tiny and delicate and so many different colours! Very interesting that sweet potato and banana grow so well together. Wishing you all a wonderful Christmas!
All that ground with nothing growing is really depressing. Following up with the permaculture garden was awesome and impressive. Sweet potatoes like the rooted slips to be planted to be able to produce more fruit.
Happy (belated) Christmas :) I'm happy to see you are still finding time to create content during the holiday you are having with Family! Thanks for your dedication to us your viewers! I have a thought for your home property. I wonder how easy it would be for you to get bags for making sandbags? The idea is that you use sandbags instead of rocks or your tires in the river to build up the dam.
Marry Christmas Danou!!! I saw heavy thunderstorms on the radar last night in the north of Namibia. I hope you were able to catch a lot of water again!
Dill is also a lovely herb that looks very similar to fennel, but isn't as harsh in flavour. Delicious with potatoes and potato salad. Also is used in pickling "Dill Pickles" or gherkins. Can be used dried or fresh.
I was given advice about growing figs by a Greek farmer forty odd years ago, you need to dig a pit five or six feet deep and back fill with stone builders rubble and soil or clay the more hard core the better plant your fig into it against a wall.
Hi danou or other viewers are there native Namibian cat us you can also try to cultivate. I was reading about some of the unique cactus of your country and am interested to know will you be looking to try these as part of your overall plan. I am enjoying going through your older videos and learning about permaculture but also about your country and it’s cultures
I enjoy watching your videos, it gives me a sense of of nature like and giving me the sense of making productive things with leaves and others. Actually, i saw you didn't have a Thumbnails on your videos. Thumbnail drive more traffic to yiur videos and attracts viewers to your videos. Actually, i just wanna tell you if you're interested, good work outta there 😊
39 existing comments. I posted a link to a paper that showed a symbiotic (mutually beneficial relationship) between sweet potatoes and banana trees. Microbial benefits, minerals being created (captured in the soil) on the sweet potatoes side that are helpful to the banana trees and keep the soil shaded helping to retain water. The post with link seems to have been removed. This was what permaculture is for me, better than monocrops and man-made chemical fertilizers.
Diseases and pests are a major reason to rotationally crop. They will come as soon as there is something nice to eat. Not growing that crop for a year or two will chase those pests away. Your garden looks beautiful.
I have never heard that the roots of beetroot become bigger when you remove the leaves. We never do it and get big roots. I don't know any person who removes its leaves. The like horn shavings as dung. By the way, the leaves are edible.
I removed fruit from new orchard trees for the first three years, so the energy goes into strengthening the trees roots vice the fruit, but not clipping the leaves. After three years (fourth season) we harvested fruit from the trees. I have no idea about this beetroot plant. Leaves generate the energy for fruit and roots, not sure why you cut leaves except to give other branches with fruit buds more light.
I really appreciate your efforts! Just a quick off-topic question: My OKX wallet holds some USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). What's the best way to send them to Binance?
Do you have workers who can dig this kind of shallow well at the location of your wildlife watering hole? You could accomplish several things: 1. Dry up the watering hole so the wildlife stops coming into the Forest Garden for water. 2. Have a shallow well you can use for hand watering crops with watering cans or a small submersible pump and hse. As you continue t infiltrate rainwater, the groundwater level will rise - so even a shallow well could be quite productive. ua-cam.com/video/k-9HIf8CWCY/v-deo.html Also, it appears there is quite a bit of fertile silk around the watering hole. Probably years of sheep manure trampled into the top layer of dirt. I'll suggest excavating the rich soil and moving it into a stockpile outside the shade house for potting mix - or running it through the worms. It is raining at the farm right now according to Acu weather. When will you be home? Anxious to see more pictures. ✅
The only thing that I think you have not accounted for is that the water table is often very deep, unfortunately no matter how much water he is able to sink it’ll never bring the table up, apparently Africa has the largest reserves in aquifer’s but they’re very very deep, the next best option is to be able to keep the ground alive by keeping it moist, on my EARTH project I’ve proposed an irrigation dam dug at the end of the main wash next to the river, with a pond liner and armoured spillway, using the dirt from digging the dam to build a levy across the river, backing it up and diverting it into the dam then spilling back into the river once filled, he can then use the saved water on the animals, gardens and trees
I have been thinking about a well for years now. Althought our water Is lying at around 70 meters we can stil do somthing where we make a moist spot with the rain and use that water via the well for the year.The depth I was thinking is about ten meters so when it fills up it wil really have a huge impact on the soil around it. The other thing I was considering is to make it wider to make digging by hand safer. A farmer I know almost lost a worker due to carbon monoxide poisoning. If I was a rich man it would look like the step wells in India but for now this video is probably the closest to what I have in mind ua-cam.com/video/42WpcZUqyy8/v-deo.htmlsi=e69nnr3FX6s0kZre then the river was seen as the main area to put it. But you definitely planted a seed with the water holde idea
@@BESHYSBEES Nothing wrong with your idea at all. I would appreciate seeing the overall terrain. For instance, I can't visualize the wash vs the river. ✅
@@thefoodforestnamibia I'm thinking of the watering hole as nature showing you a place where shallow water is available. This condition [directly related to surface water infiltration] is called a "perched water table" What we saw after the long period of no rain is that the watering hole still had water. You can tell us how many months of the year the watering hole served your flock. A perched water table can be as shallow as 2-5 meters. Again, it won't produce like your deep aquifer - but it will supplement watering for months and serve as a large infiltration pit throughout the rainy season You can certainly dig a larger diameter well. I would be concerned about cave-ins and toxic gas too. You will find many variations on the Indian subcontinents YT's. To my mind, the important first steps are to clean up the soil/manure mashup and build a barrier so the wildlife no longer has access. Hope this is useful . ✅
18:45 the strange pumpkin is likely from saved seed, cucurbits cross pollinated to create hybrid pumpkins don’t grow true to parent, there’s another strange plant next to them 😉 😉 might just be weeds who knows 😂
Best is to. Just use your phone. And the kinemaster app to edit. Don't make it too complicated. Try to make one video a day that way you get better faster
Non sono fagioli ma fave. Sono lo stesso leguminose. I semi si consumano sia freschi che secchi. Si possono mangiare anche le bucce verdi. Del finocchio si consuma anche la parte bianca globosa della radice sia cruda che cotta. Saluti dall'Italia.
@@mekon1971 Your adventure is just beginning. I have 1.2 meters (5 feet) of black soil. But I can't plant an oak tree - the sun burns the seedlings. Experiments with scaffolding protection netting have yielded good results.
At 17:13 that is nasturtium, also called monk's cress or Indian cress. The flowers are eatable. Delicious taste, a bit honey like taste. You can use it as eatable decoration for salads.
She is right, many of those plants/herbs modulate gut microbiom, have antibiotic properties and stimulate gastric juices or liver for better digestion. But most of them have unpleasnt flavor, so young(weak) generation tend to not eat them.
Your parents generation said you were weak. Their parents calld them the weak generation, and so on to the dawn of time. It's never been true and the only people who buy into it are the feebleminded... Do better.
Hi, thank you for sharing. That landscape is so interesting from the drone footage, does that dry river create opportunities for plants to grow? It’s amazing what gems you can find in what looks like nothing. I don’t know if you have seen this… namibian reptiles that are able to live in really harsh conditions, nature is amazing ua-cam.com/video/n41RC-oyb5c/v-deo.htmlsi=iZNOD5AbpM5YtrhP
Is the ground hard to walk on, clay pan, granite or packed sand? Broad beans were my father's favorite vegetable, he always grew them, none of his children eat them. I guess coming from large families, and living threw the depression, my parents both developed a taste for any thing. Excellent visit. How depressing that it is all going to be lawn, which does nothing for insect or bird life.
This is shocking Danou. Broad bean also known as fava bean is mostly unknown in Namibia. How do you expect to put nitrogen in your soil? You ignore proper cultivation of prickly pear cactus and you make no credible attempt towards the fava bean. This road followed in Namibia is the one that leads to perpetual mendicancy.

If it was really "good", you wouldn't have to cook the crap out of it to eat it safely.
@tesha199 you don't, If you cook it like onions it has a very distinctive flavour, you just don't want that to be the dominant flavour.
The plant you called little violets are nasturtiums which would be good for your farm. You can eat the flowers and they are great ground cover too.
That l,ocal landscape is amazing and plenty of scope for little dams all over the place........
In Dutch we call them Oost Indische kers. Also the leaves you can eat. Good in a salad.

Historically, has this landscape always been like this, or was it covered with some form of greenery, bushes or trees.
how long ago? This is a prehistoric landscape. There are even dino footprints in some places in the Namib.
@moonhunter9993 just asking ..
I mean, say in the last 150 years for instance
