A close friend of mine has a small plot of land around her house. She put in what she calls an edible hedge of bush cherries that grow well here around her yard in front. She never gets to pick any of them because the neighborhood children pick and eat them as they walk by. It gives her such a good feeling that they do this. She has others in her back yard so she gets fruit from there. All the children love her for this and she never has trouble with vandalism because of it.
Thanks Curtis. I even remove the whole stem after harvest in mid summer. This helps the new shoots to prepare for the next year - the result is incredible!! Great inspiration to share crop at the border of the garden.
Just wanted to let you know I think your front yard looks outstanding this year. You took a vegetable garden and made it look so nice in the front of the house. Well done.
I agree, having a berry hedge along the sidewalk intending to share them with those walking to and from the bus makes for happy neighbors. I also cut out last year's growth in early spring.
We love your ideas!! Hard work promotes beutyfull resolts!! Your work also promotes love and health, take care!! Warm hug and love to your amazing family (included plants😊😅)from Greece!! 💖👍💓💪
I really enjoyed this one, Curtis :D Abundance is a fantastic mindset to cultivate and I think you've definitely expressed and manifested that through sharing so many wonderfully helpful videos with all of us, for free!!! I'm still pondering on how I can give more value to people (whether it's through teaching, youtubing, or donating food) from my farm and blueprint, but I'm well on my way. I'm sure you've also heard of the Food Is Free project, which was quite popular a few years ago. I love that idea, so long as the people taking are those in need, &/or are those who may also do their best to give back to others. We all certainly need to give up this fear of scarcity vibe that has been so prevalent in our society for too long. I had one request, which I totally comprehend if it's not feasible to your lifestyle, but I'm very passionate about all aspects of food, -from growing to selling, cooking, eating, serving to others, etc. I was wondering if you'd be able to do some videos on what you cook and some of the dishes you and your family enjoy. Preferably from ingredients from your own farm, and other local, organic, Canadian (BC :), etc. No biggie if it's not an idea you like. Was just a thought, ....perhaps others are interested too. ?? I think I saw one you did a while back where you were talking about your morning smoothies. But a little "cooking show" or micro-green feast may be interesting.... ;) All the best. Namasté
You have helped me understand why years of abuse and struggle beat the generosity out of me. I guess, after having had so much taken from me, I started to hoard because I feared that there wasn't enough to go around, and especially not for me. I had subconsciously figured that other people had healthier relationships with the people in their lives and so I had to be selfish just to keep pace with their advancement in life. But I think the "abundance mindset" that you speak of probably is key to how I will find happiness again and go the places I want to go in life.
Those look like some nice raspberry plants. I've never tried growing raspberries, but I got a bunch of blackberries growing here in southern California. I just harvested some today, and they are way better than anything you can buy at the grocery store. I just looked it up and the roots of blackberry plants are perennial, but the canes themselves are biennial.
Excellent video the other day. I saw it pretty quick after it went up. Very good topic! And I used the "bribery" method with snap peas last year, great minds think alike lol keep it up brother
Raspberries are a wonderful fruit. When I began growing them 5 years ago I went to a commercial grower who sold canes in the spring. Lee suggested a variety called Autumn Bliss. They are a modern type. Most of the old time raspberries you prune out the two year old stalks in the spring and keep the new growth from last year to produce your berries. The Autumn Bliss is what is called an ever bearing raspberry. The difference between these and the typical raspberry is there is no complicated pruning or staking the ever bearing canes. In the fall you simply cut all the canes back to the ground and they grow up new in the spring. They are just a bit later to produce berries than the standard varieties but they produce right through until a killing frost in the fall. When I bought my first canes I also bought Killarney, a standard favorite in our zone 5a. This year I finally ripped out all the Killarney as they couldn't compete with the advantages of the Autumn Bliss.
My favorite variety is joan j... Soooo sweet... Big berries... Its going to be a bumper crop this year... Also in the thrid year.. I also have anne yellow raspberry.. My husband loves those..
If this is just for your own consumption, consider black raspberries. Personally, I think there is no berry in the world that's as good, but they also only propagate when the limb ends touch ground whereas the red raspberries send rhizomes out from the roots.
Berries only grow on 1 year old wood (same with grapes) if you tie up or some how mark the canes producing berries, you cut them off during the winter while they are dormant and tie up or mark the new growth you will always have a bumper crop!....search pruning raspberries for some ideas! Keep up the great stuff! I love your channel .. I've modeled my farm after a mix of yours and JM's! Awesome stuff!
We need a version of you for where I am in zone 3. In fact, I don't spend money on perennials unless they are recommended for zone 2. Our frost free season is about 90 days. How would you do what you are doing if lived where I live? Also, can you do a video on Hoskap? My plants are growing fine, but they haven't born fruit and they are 3? years old.
I have watched all of your videos in the last week or so. It greatly motivated me while gardening. I love how your whole philosophy to life seems to have changed. Grind at it. Do not complain. Do not protest or be too ideological. Let your brain and hands work for you. I admire that. It is a well known fact that people are "socialists" until they own something themselves. This is why during the industrial revolution some British companies gave their workers a share in the company. It made them work harder as they felt responsible and felt like they had something to lose. I am not much of a vegan or vegetarian. I would not even know what microgreens taste like. However, today I have made a 10 foot bed in my garden with spinach, basil, rucola and salad. Just gathering the data and learning stuff is enough motivation for me. I have done some preliminary market research; where I live, a kilogram of microgreens goes for 90 euros. It is amazing. I think I could produce it for far far less. There are about a dozen restaurants in my neighborhood. Time for some competition? I will look into it! Thanks for the inspiration!
oh boy, i had to pause the video and check in the comments if the guy on your t-shirt is Murray fucking Rothbard. confirmed. continue playing. so cool.
on arid land you better leave the old branches on because of severe winds. with a fence this purpose is resolved i suppose. Rubus phoenicolasius and all of the other Rubus familie work nice too. great to see.
Yes please do a video on goji berries! Last summer I planted Raspberries, Blackberries and gooseberries at the school where I teach. I'd like to plant Goji's.
I had an overgrown berry, vine, that I wanted to remove. After removing the old vines. The plant shot up new vine, to the west, fifty yards away, hidden in the middle of the tomatoe patch. Tackling that one, and the old plant in the fall. The next spring, I found one more another fifty yards away to the north. I have tackled all three, it took five years to get read of the mother plant
Hooray for the abundance mindset...particularly as exemplified by The Garden of Eden! My hallucination is that the plan was for total abundance from the beginning and humans introduced human devised ag which has resulted in the scarcity model. Back to perennial based systems! On the Navajo Nation where we are putting in food forests there has been so much scarcity for so long that the word abundance is not even known.
had a brain fart and forgot to plant more rhubarb from seed this last winter. but maybe I can find raspberry bushes to plant when I move my microgreen compost pile.
I have some goji berries at my place and they are prolific! What do you do for pruning the bush? Just cut out the old growth, similar to the raspberries?
Strawberries are great for shaded areas where you dont want tall growth. The perimiter of my house is surrounded by them. They spread like crazy, come back each year and take no maintenance! $40 of strawberrie plants surrounded my whole house in 2 years
Hello Curtis Stone. Where do you get the water to irrigate your gardens. Are using the tap water from government or water. Don't you think my water bills will be too high if I use the water for irrigation. I want to ask for some piece of land in town to do gardening but my fear is that I may encounter high water bills. There is a good open piece of land in one of the industry that I am near by. Do you advice me to go for it and lease it for gardening.
Same climate in Deer Park Wa. Im going to pick some raspberry starts up. Berries do so well in our climate. Are you thinking perhaps some apples too? They should do real well out your way.
My golden Anne raspberries I just planted this spring are already fruiting it's not even June yet and they are a fall fruiting variety im in Maryland 7 outside of Baltimore, wondering if I'm gonna get two harvests a year off them, also have 4 other varieties planted. I'm stoked first-year I'm gonna get substaintal amounts of berries
So awesome to hear a fierce libertarian talk about abundance and sharing. You hit the sweet spot, man! A home run! You make the statists cringe and wither. And the aerial shot of your front yard is fantastic!
I hope you mean mason bee. They lay eggs in little tubes and are great pollinators. Carpenter bees, otoh, are much larger, look like bumble bees , and destroy wood structures. They aren’t so welcome around my garden and shop.
I'm not sure if anyone said that already, but... I know at least 2 types, not varieties, of raspberries. One is producing fruits on a this season branches, we call this `late raspberries` and second type is producing fruits on branches from previous season, that we also call `early raspberries`. So be careful what are you pruning. If you have second type of raspberries and you will prune your bush every season, close to the ground, probably you will not see any fruits there in your life. First type should be prune at the end of the season, before winter. It makes no sense to keep old branches as fruits will grow only on the new branches.
raspberries are a good crop to sell. It doesn't look like you're doing much to them, but if someone would like to, there is a HUGE market for them because they are not shelf-stable at all and they're expensive to buy at the store and they truly suck ass. This allows local farmers to profit off of this crop.
I put some extra tomatoes I had along my back fence. I thought 'well if someone picks them they were extras'. Then someone took them all. And they were still green! What a pig. I suspected my neighbor. Then someone kicked in my back fence and went after the rest of my garden. The foot prints were large so I didn't think it was a kid. And they dropped some plastic bags in the yard. They were the kind of bags they use at tim hortons. My neighbor worked at tim hortons. Two weeks later I catch my neighbor looking over my fence. So you have to be careful about doing this, you may just give someone ideas.
I had to plant my berries away from the road for that reason. Darn neighborhood male dogs pee on everything! Great videos! Looking forward to your berry mini-series
Luv the raspberries! For anyone who hasn't seen Dan Dicks & James Corbetts incredible new documentary on the mlk assassination here's a link m.ua-cam.com/video/3TLkpQd-i0U/v-deo.html
like here is some berries for you, i want to share this but i dont want to share my peas, take this gift and grow your own garden if you want some food

Great inspiration to share crop at the border of the garden.
Love how the walkways turned out. Beautiful view from the air. Hope to catch the Q&A on Friday.
It does look nice, especially with the drone shot. I am not a fan of crushed granite, but that looks more like some round smooth river-stone.
Love the Rothbard shirt!
There’s no government like no government.
Just wanted to let you know I think your front yard looks outstanding this year. You took a vegetable garden and made it look so nice in the front of the house. Well done.
Yes! More berry videos! I am constantly daydreaming of a property filled with fruit and veg. But, alas, this is not our forever home...
Me and you both brutha! Best tasting fruit ever! Loving the new front yard garden too. So cool.
God bless you . The best teacher ever, I'm leaning with you every single day . From London,UK
Watched earlier this week, came back again for that bass line.
Curtis, I am so HAPPY that I found your channel through Dan ...absolutely LOVE it ~
I agree, having a berry hedge along the sidewalk intending to share them with those walking to and from the bus makes for happy neighbors. I also cut out last year's growth in early spring.
We love your ideas!! Hard work promotes beutyfull resolts!! Your work also promotes love and health, take care!! Warm hug and love to your amazing family (included plants😊😅)from Greece!! 💖👍💓💪
yes, please share info about the goji berries as well! thanks!
I really enjoyed this one, Curtis :D Abundance is a fantastic mindset to cultivate and I think you've definitely expressed and manifested that through sharing so many wonderfully helpful videos with all of us, for free!!! I'm still pondering on how I can give more value to people (whether it's through teaching, youtubing, or donating food) from my farm and blueprint, but I'm well on my way.
I'm sure you've also heard of the Food Is Free project, which was quite popular a few years ago. I love that idea, so long as the people taking are those in need, &/or are those who may also do their best to give back to others. We all certainly need to give up this fear of scarcity vibe that has been so prevalent in our society for too long.
I had one request, which I totally comprehend if it's not feasible to your lifestyle, but I'm very passionate about all aspects of food, -from growing to selling, cooking, eating, serving to others, etc. I was wondering if you'd be able to do some videos on what you cook and some of the dishes you and your family enjoy. Preferably from ingredients from your own farm, and other local, organic, Canadian (BC :), etc. No biggie if it's not an idea you like. Was just a thought, ....perhaps others are interested too. ?? I think I saw one you did a while back where you were talking about your morning smoothies. But a little "cooking show" or micro-green feast may be interesting.... ;)
All the best. Namasté
YES to abundance mindset!
Front garden is looking awesome
"Abundant (and sharing that abundance)" mindset - key to a happy karmic life :) Excellent video and great homesteader philosophy, thank You :)
You have helped me understand why years of abuse and struggle beat the generosity out of me. I guess, after having had so much taken from me, I started to hoard because I feared that there wasn't enough to go around, and especially not for me.

But I think the "abundance mindset" that you speak of probably is key to how I will find happiness again and go the places I want to go in life.
Curtis, I love you even more now! I have the same Enemy of the State shirt that I got from the Mises Institute years ago.
Those look like some nice raspberry plants. I've never tried growing raspberries, but I got a bunch of blackberries growing here in southern California. I just harvested some today, and they are way better than anything you can buy at the grocery store.

Love your video Curtis ;) I also love your philosophy of abundance, as I also believe the same.
LET THE BEAT DROP Its another UFCS video y'all. Best intros ever!
I love my raspberries frozen on really hot days. Like little popsicles! Grapes also work ;)
Same here - I have a little row of Willamettes which has a two year cane cycle. You gets absolutely loads of razzes!
Abundance mindset in action, I like that.
I had awesome raspberries until they got fire blight. I'm thinking of putting in some more this year. And blue berries.
Excellent video the other day. I saw it pretty quick after it went up. Very good topic! And I used the "bribery" method with snap peas last year, great minds think alike lol keep it up brother

Growing up in Arizona we have always had citrus trees and would share it with all the neighbors.

I grow raspberries too!! I take out all the old every year. You have too.

Yes goji berry video. Mine just haven't done that well and have yet to fruit.
Same climate in Deer Park Wa. Im going to pick some raspberry starts up. Berries do so well in our climate. Are you thinking perhaps some apples too? They should do real well out your way.
My favorite is "black caps" aka black raspberries. I like them even more than raspberries. Abundant and grow wild in the north east.
HiroshiTakeda I love them! I have them well established in my yard but they run up and down the railroad tracks by my house as well.
Nice shirt, bro. Awesome video.
My golden Anne raspberries I just planted this spring are already fruiting it's not even June yet and they are a fall fruiting variety im in Maryland 7 outside of Baltimore, wondering if I'm gonna get two harvests a year off them, also have 4 other varieties planted.

I love goji berries, please do a video on how to get then that big. Thx
So awesome to hear a fierce libertarian talk about abundance and sharing. You hit the sweet spot, man! A home run! You make the statists cringe and wither.
And the aerial shot of your front yard is fantastic!
He almost said “Rothbarries”. If you heard it then you know you are cool.
Dude should write an essay called "Anatomy of the Garden."
Love them, are they thornless? Food brings us together! Do you have a video on goji berries?
Goji berries what kind of care do they need for example in southern Maine... How is the root system?... Are they like raspberries?
They kind of are. They have a tendency to spread like raspberries.
Hi ! Pls do the goji berries video ! Thank you !!!
How old is your big goji berry plant? How much do they yield?
Great video, makes me want to plant some berries. What is the best way to keep the birds away?
Would love to see a video on Goji berries👌
Rockin the Murray Rothbard?
the guru
I saw you had a carpenter bee house. Do you have more than one or just that to help with pollination?
It’s just something that was given to us. The bees show up on their own.
I hope you mean mason bee. They lay eggs in little tubes and are great pollinators. Carpenter bees, otoh, are much larger, look like bumble bees , and destroy wood structures. They aren’t so welcome around my garden and shop.
Goji berry video would be awesome!
Try boysenberry. They're fargin awesome.
You go gee!

Raspberries are going to spread into your walk path ....just sayin ..I started with 10 canes from Dad and now I have half an acre ..thanks for sharing
I would be very interested in learning about goji berries. Do you think they would thrive in Midwest North America?
Thank you for the feedback john E!
im happy with my black bary bush they grew like a weed
Which specific Muse Maker song is the intro? Great vid
The Good Life.
I'm interested in the goji berry!
Would you consider growing them commercially?
Not on my farm in it's current form.
Yep, school us on goji berries please!!
Awesome video! I gotta make a video of my garden sometime you people would appriciate it

First it's Ayn Rand, then Rothbard, now you just need a Hoppe shirt and you'll be all set so to speak.
I want to know what zone the gogi berries can grow in
Karen Oliveira they are cold hardy
Any concern of Dogs urinating on the fruit your daughter will be picking?
Sure, but not really.
I had to plant my berries away from the road for that reason. Darn neighborhood male dogs pee on everything! Great videos! Looking forward to your berry mini-series

I have dogs and see what happens to the grass where they pee. Its not exactly desirable effect.
best possible reply.
Damn, why is it that the most interesting and helpful/useful people on UA-cam are such extr3me libertarians? Gulch gotta eat son
Ya, maybe there’s something there.
No luck with raspberry in Deep South.

like here is some berries for you, i want to share this but i dont want to share my peas, take this gift and grow your own garden if you want some food
The gravel and pavers look hideous. That doesn't look like a productive use of a garden space.
Right, let's see your garden then. Show us how your so much better. Something tells me you don't even have one.
