- Today is the day! I am starting my food forest with the first trees and berries. I am planting out my backyard, permaculture style! This is only the beginning, in the next few months I will be building out the guilds and supporting plants more.
Background on why I started a food forest: • Starting a food forest...

2:40 I love your face here, such excitement!
I'm excited to watch how this all plays out. I agree with all your decisions regarding compost/native soil, teasing the roots, planting depth... definitely pro moves there :)
Currants are great plants to put in the shadier spots also.
For the blueberries, keep an eye on them and what you are looking for is red leaves. If you start seeing red leaves, it means that one of a few different things may be happening. The most common is a pH problem preventing iron from being taken up by the plant. This will look like a full deep red leaf. This can be solved by lowering soil pH. It could also be magnesium deficiency, or just general nutrient deficiency. These will present as spotty reddening. This can be solved by adding epsom salt, or just a nice compost topdresssing. Keep in mind that some of this is likely to show up regardless, just due to transplant shock in the first year. However, if your blueberries have nice deep green leaves, then you are all set. But the key thing to watch out for is that solid deep red leaf.
Yes - ive been watching your videos and other permaculture folks on YT for planting tips for awhile! Haha. Ok, good to know the indicators for the blueberries. Thanks as always for the help!
Good luck on your food forest😇,it's gonna be exciting once all of those trees and berries are starting to grow some sprouts and transform into a nice tree 🌳 😊😊😊
Can't wait to start seeing some green!
Hallo, Greetings from Indonesia
Thanks for sharing. Looking forward to the progress.
Thanks for watching!
Can't wait to see your journey
Good luck with your food forest! It's exciting to see how it will develop.🤗
Oh my, Finally you uploaded the video after do many months. I love your video's. Great to see your progress. Planting is Good. 🌻😊
Good luck with the trees!
Hello from Colorado, Kristina! Looks like you are doing a great job. You planted a nice variety of fruits. I’ll be watching your progress. I ordered lots of berries today for planting as soon as our ground thaws. It will be a while.
It's coming together ❤️
Have fun!
RE: root bound. Seems brutal but do an X cut on the bottom (I use the shovel) + spread slightly. Important there's no air around root ball so water.
The first two years of Saskatoons are really slow. The third year you will see it start to take off... So awesome to see this many varieties of things. It will pay off nicely in a few years.
Thats good to know, I will manage my expectations on them! They are so eensy small so I need to be a bit patient, but its worth it. I love Saskatoons
Great job with the food forest. You will need a pollinator or two that is compatible with the Gravenstein. It needs to be another early blooming variety.
Hello ! I follow your channel from France. Nice video 🌳
Maybe it was the coffin wood 👀😄
I just bought a good sized bag of cherries, and ate them, and then threw the seeds into our naturalized area in the back yard, and now I have 10 trees or so growing
Hi Kristina Lynn. Nice to meet you. My name is Kristina Lynn too.
So cool!
I love the concept of food forest💚 My family of five grow 70% what we eat in our backyard homestead.
Thats amazing! I would love to get to that point
@@kristina_lynn it took us 5 years to get there with lots of patience, hard work and planning
Greetings from California😊 awesomeness , will like to make a food forest one Day
You should!
@@kristina_lynn yes just got to get a house first I don't think the apartment complex will let me lol 😆
I wonder if salmon berry would grow in Newfoundland.
I googled and it said it’s tolerant of cold down to -20c, it likes moist spots and grows naturally in ocean spray zones/ riparian areas so if you can provide it a similar habitat, it may work!
I'm in mich,so I have to start some of my plants under light,like peppers.its too cold in mich!
Hey Kristina, I'm curious if there is an update to this video? I came here from Keith's Channel (Canadian Permaculture Legacy) and I live closer to you, so I'm really excited to find out what plants you are adding in, that maybe weren't mentioned in this video that you added since this.
I am way overdue for filming an update, I've been enjoying being offline this summer but everything is really thriving and looks great, so I have been meaning to capture it before the frost hits
Weeping willow tree has root hormone in it. Cut small branches, add 5 l. water, simmer for about 2 hours, let stand overnight. You only need enough branches to cover the bottom of a large pot with 2 layers loosely spread. Use it with a 10 - 1 ratio of hormone to water. 1 l hormone, 10 l water.
Love this! I think there is one in my neighbourhood
@@kristina_lynn This is very true, it's due to the indolebutyric acid (IBA) and salicylic acid (SA) contained in the plant. Interestingly enough, the salicylic acid is also an active ingredient in pain relievers, and this is why willow bark tea can actually help with headaches.
wtf theres still like 1m of snow here in pei im so jealous lol
like not only can u see the grass but its green?!?! how
@@ivo8312 our grass stays green all winter from the rain! And brown in the summer 😂
I dont think that was wood. It looked like a root. When i dug to plant some rose bushes in my area i came across the same thing dug some more it turned out to be roots.
So weird, because there was no big trees there! Maybe an old tree 🤔
Is there a good book for learning gardening as a beginner?
I'm not sure about books, but Ive learned mostly from UA-cam!
That was a root....99% sure.
What fig did u pull out of the ground?
Violette de bourdeaux i believe
🤥
Doesn't the fact that biogenesis is only known to have happened once here on earth "kind of, sort of" provide evidence that life is extremely rare? In this pristine biosphere that is so perfect for life, should we not have multiple unrelated species on earth if life was common elsewhere?
