Beautifully done my friend! Your video production is very professional. Thanks for sticking to it and encouraging people to grow their own food!
Thank you my friend! I appreciate the encouragement.
This is how gardening videos should be produced! Get to the point. Practise.List and illustrate your main points.
Very practical suggestions, nice one Stephen. 👍😊
Thank you sir ! I love being practical !
A few more tips:
Cultivar selection -
You can find things like lettuce ranging between 30-120 days from germination to maturity. When this is considered in succession planting, you can have a much higher turnover. You may be able to get in 2 crops of 90 day cabbages, and only 1 crop of 145 day cabbage.
Perennial Vegetables -
Unlike annuals which much establish roots in every cropping, perennials can be harvested repeatedly, but will immediately begin recovering from their already established root systems. Good King Henry for example is far more productive than annual spinach. In Western NY, I get 18-20 harvests of English sorrel per plant each year. A comparable annual salad green might only give me 3-4 harvests with succession planting.
Slow composts -
Compost piles made of slower decomposing materials may not be ideal for planting in, but can be inoculated with mushrooms. Areas covered in wood mulch can also have mushroom inoculation.
Truffle Trees -
You can find landscaping trees like Oak, Maple, Hickory etc which are pre inoculated with truffles. This is a good one for people stuck in HOAs who can't normally plant food crops in their front yard.
Edible trees -
Linden Trees have edible leaves, which are very much like lettuce when harvested in the early season. There are many trees with edible (and delicious) leaves. People aren't accustomed to eating tree leaves because it's not something that stores or ships well, and thus doesn't appear in grocery stores. This is however a plentiful traditional food source.
Keep bees -
Honey bees are fairly tame and rarely sting anyone. They can be kept discreetly (though I recommend them for people with 3 acres or more). They will increase garden yields by improving pollination, and provide you with honey as an extra food source. I harvest between 80 and 160 lbs of honey per hive, per year (from two seasonal harvests), and bee keeping is much easier than most people think.
Understand plant hormones -
I'm not talking about spraying hormones onto a plant, but rather learning about what triggers the production of certain hormones, and what effect they have on the plant. The most obvious presentation, as mentioned in this video was with day-neutral crops VS light specific crops. Day length triggers fruit production. If you plant a June bearing strawberry in a location which remains shaded throughout June, it will usually fruit in mid July instead. Spread the plants over a variety of locations, and you can prolong the harvest season. Other triggers are things like drought. Simply by stressing a plant with a reduction in water, you can force it to reallocate it's energy to fruit production, often resulting in more and sweeter fruit (at the expense of the plant's health). Leafy greens respond to higher wavelengths of light (more toward ultraviolet than infrared). Plant them on the north bank of a pond, where the blue wavelengths are reflected back up to them, and you'll see a boost. Tomatoes that ripen with red light however would do poorly here. You can observe this in nature as different species grow on the north and south banks of ponds, to spite similar soil and water availability. This is something worthy of research, and the methods will vary depending on the specific crop.
Sacrificial Plantings -
If you grow cherries, you know how good the birds are at stripping the tree clean. It's not always feasible to net the trees, but you don't want to lose the crop. Plant a mulberry tree near it, and the birds will strip that instead, leaving your cherries alone, plus you can net a few branches of the mulberry tree and get fresh mulberries too. You can do this with lots of plants by matching up their harvest windows.
Aquatic and riparian plantings -
If you have a source of constant water (or a bucket to hold water artificially), there are lots of plants that grow extremely fast in water. Watercress is a great example. It easily out paces lettuce (which it can replace in the kitchen), is perennial (leave the roots in tact when harvesting) and you can harvest in as little as 10 days after your previous harvest. Given a large enough water source, you can even grow out a few fish for the table as well.
Pruning -
This will seem counter-intuitive to beginners, but stay with me; if you want to grow more, you need to harvest more. Look at herbs like basil, or any member of the mint family. Unpruned you get a tall, scraggly plant. Chop the tops off and the stem will branch into two growing tips within a few days. After a couple of weeks, do it again, and those two growing tips become 4... 8... 16... 32... It doubles every time you prune it. By the end of the season, your yields will be substantially higher and you will have been harvesting all year, not just once. This also works well with pepper plants if you have a long enough season. Beyond this, in a high-density planting, sometimes removing leaves so as not to shade neighboring plants is much more productive. 20 determinate tomatoes, trimmed to a single stem with most of the leaves stripped will vastly out-produce 2 indeterminate, unpruned tomato plants in the same space requirements. Yes, it's uses more plants, but what's a tomato seed cost? The reduction in space required more than offsets the cost of additional plants. Research the pruning techniques used for every crop you intend to grow, it'll make a huge difference.
Hybrid Vigor -
I normally grow heirlooms, but hybrid vigor is a real thing. If you cross two cultivars, the resultant seed will frequently yield a plant more productive and vigorous than either of the parent plants. While this will not likely be a stable trait in future generations (don't save seeds from hybrids unless you're doing specific breeding trials), your yields will be increased.
Proper grafting -
Most garden plants are not native to the areas in which they're grown. Take apples, native to the southern carpathian mountains and afghanistan, but commercially are grown in greater quantity in other nations with vastly different soils. The cultivar that fruits best in your region may be completely different than the one that grows best in your soil. Grafting is a huge asset. Do your own grafts, because the shit you get from Home Depot, or even a local garden center is done generically, often in other regions and shipped into your region as an afterthought. The choice of rootstock is seldom ideal for your site. You can also graft multiple cultivars onto a single tree to prolong the harvest season or provide pollination without the need for multiple trees.
Grow what you actually eat -
It doesn't matter how much food you grow if you don't eat it all. 2 Zucchini plants will produce a ton of zucchini, but if you don't like zucchini, plant something else instead. You may not get the same production in terms of the pounds of food produced, but you'll get far better utilization.
Grow what you know and share -
There are plants that will do very well on your site, and some that will never work very well for you. There are plants you are experienced with, and plants you are not. Grow what you know works on your land, and trade the excess you produce with someone else who has an excess of another crop. If you have clay soils, any carrots you grow will be shit, but you can get some awesome garlic. So skip the carrots, grow extra garlic, and swap for carrots with someone who's garden is a sandy loam soil. Pound for pound, you'll both come out ahead this way, compared to each of you getting mediocre results on one of your crops.
"Record Winning Seed" -
Husbandry applies just as much to plants as animals. Even among individual cultivars, there are good genetics and bad. You can go online and find seeds from last years world record holding plants. These can get expensive at times, but they won't break the bank. You might pay $4 for a single seed. But you can save the seeds it produces. You will often find much higher yields this way.
My friend you have given me another great series of ideas to grow more food at home! Thank you very much! Ill take another read through and write some notes ;)!
Wow, thank you! That was an interesting read. Thank you for taking the time to expand the list even further. Liked the video and saving it for a rainy day.
Great tips along with Stephen's. May I suggest another by way of a silly quiz question? If I disturb a toad my first priority is to move him to a shady well protected place in the patches of "jungle" I have. My neighbour hates them and will put a spade through one in her garden. One of us has a big problem with slugs, the other doesn't, but which is which??
Ray tune in friday. I am totally taking about this!
ILW I went through this video from my saved list for some reference and found your detailed comment and thoughts, I must (even its 6 months late) thank you for taking time and posting such a gem. I will try to copy and save your precious advice on my PC (iPhone does not allow to copy any comments, unless they are your own)
Your presentation is GREAT!
Haha .. you're the first person I've seen say that they use their uncomposted kitchen scraps for their garden. I've been doing it rhis way too with great results. Bravo to you.
You covered a lot of ground (pun intended) Stephen! Thanks for this piece. Sure proves that tweaking organic methods can make limited planting space competitive with non-organic/gmo methods
I don't even think it is fair to say that. An attentive well planned garden can out strip commercial production any day :)
Great tips Stephen. I especially like the idea of planting in public spaces. Like most areas, we have lots of typical suburban neighborhoods, and why none of them have community garden plots is beyond me. I think fruit trees and gardens at schools is also a good idea, because like you said it is very important children (and adults) know where their food comes from. I always think its a shame when I see empty lots in urban areas that could be growing food producing or otherwise beneficial plants. Thanks.
It is so important for kids to learn. I have turned into the crazy gardeners the kids always love to
Come talk to :)
I look at empty lots the same way. With envy of the space and a dream to use it.
Look into "Guerilla Gardening", Jack Spirko has a great podcast on it:
www.thesurvivalpodcast.com/guerrilla-gardeing-for-survival
The basic rules are simple:
• Find plants that can survive in your area, reseed themselves and thrive without any care. Broadcast seed in suitable areas, and wait for them to take hold.
• Don't be stupid. You might be able to plant tens of thousands of apple trees in a highway median. But if there's deer in the area, you're attracting them to a major highway, and might get someone killed. A plant might grow very well, but if it's invasive and damaging to the native plants, don't use it. Just consider the consequences of what you plant and where.
• Don't violate property rights. Just because you can plant something in a run down urban lot doesn't mean you should. If the property owner ever develops it, they shouldn't have to assume the cost of tearing out trees and bushes that were planted without their knowledge or consent. Get permission on private land.
I find a better approach is simply to offer extra plants to neighbors. I'll have another 200-300 elderberry bushes this year from my stand. I don't need that many. However, as the only real herbal treatment proven effective at blocking the flu virus, it's a good thing for a community to have on a large scale. In the case of a pandemic, there's another weapon in your town's arsenal. But a lot of people would misidentify the plant in the wild, and don't know how to use it. Therefore telling them: "Hey I have some elderberry plants, would you like a couple?" then explaining why they might want one will help. They know what it is, what it does, how to use it, and where it's planted in their own yards. Plus, people will often trade you plants in exchange.
Having food and medicinal plants in public areas is good, but having people actively utilizing them, propagating and caring for them, and sharing that knowledge is much better.
That's great stuff! I have a friend that is looking to start a perennial plant exchange. Its an awesome idea to give plants away if you have too many, talk about spreading the wealth. Thanks.
I usually don't have issues with my friends whom are gardens. in fact I gave away one of my grapes tonight!
Thank you for making such a practical and easy to follow video of gardening! I've been searching quit a lot if gardening video for past 2 months, and I wish I could have found your videos earlier so I can do my gardening in a much proper and sufficient way! And I'm very glad to found a gardening youtuber that lives near me so your tips are working really great for my future gardening!
I love your fenced garden. I just love your garden!
OMG man, you've lost so much weight compared to earlier videos! Well done. :-)
Thank you, this is so timely as I am planting this week
Thank you for all the tips!
Another terrific video Stephen, thanks for sharing your knowledge. :)
I am glad you enjoyed the video my friend ! I love sharing !
great video, i love the way you smash out so much information in such a short time! Im very inspired to ramp up my veggie garden :D
I loved your video so much in less than the first 2 minutes that I just had to subscribe to you! Can't wait to watch more of your videos!
Another fine episode! Have a great weekend!
Thank you my friend ! So far so good. I love Canada Day !
Gesundheit!
You're a nice young man and a great teacher!
Thank you my friend!
Your garden is inspiring. Something to work towards. Thank you.
Thank you my friend !
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and experience! Cheers from Quebec! :)
I am so very glad you enjoyed the video. And hello from Alberta !
Great tips for a new gardener like myself - thanks for sharing!
Glad I could help.
DUDE! I'm watching Minnesota and Denmark trying to get better tips for Edmonton and here is Alberta! 🇨🇦
Wow, so glad I found you! Veganic gardener in Richmond California! I use Square Foot, and have a couple fruit trees. Well done, thank you!
Glad I could help my friend!
THANK YOU SIR FOR INSFIRING VEDIO.I LOVE GARDENER.
learned a lot, thanks. I planted more than 30 different kinds vegetables every year, wish this year can harvest more.
thanks for the tips Stephen
my pleasure!
I like to put my trellises in the middle of my beds so that I can grow crops up both sides. My garden gets a lot of morning and evening light so the plants in the back don't get shaded out. Thanks for the video.
That is a great way to use the space effectively. I had to put mine at the back of one bed due to the general lack of sun that would be behind it otherwise
Great Ideas! Love it! Those trellises are great. My grafted apples didn't make it. I really like how you compacted a whole lot of information in a short time, kida like your garden.lol Well Done. I plant my tomatoes along the fence, and the peppers in containers along the walk (also to move as the sun changes in the season) You really did some research and planning. Liked and subscribed
hopefully your grafts to your apples do better next year!
I am glad you enjoyed and thank you for subscribing!
very nicely explained.. great job
This was a good and enjoyable video. Thank you.
I am glad you enjoyed the clip.
Hi Stephen, This is quite a lot of ideas ! Good job. I think the succession planting is very effective this is what I'm trying to learn right now and find that for example I have to remove to many veggies at once or the one that did not mature as I have some seedlings ready to go into the soil for Autumn and Winter.
It takes time but well worth learning !
With less time spent wandering this spring and summer I hope to have a great garden and lots of prawduce! Thank you. I will have some raised beds made for my tiny garden...that seems key in our cold altitude on top of Nose Hill in Calgary.
Great video ! Lots of good info , I live in same zone and only started gardening this year you have been a wealth of information .
Welcome to the community and I am glad I can help !
Great information Stephen. Best wishes Bob.
Happy early 4th of July my friend !
Great video! Happy gardening!
Thank you my friend !
What a great video you put together! Thank you so much, Stephen! This will help me a lot in my next design because i'm already thinking about next year. I need to find a better layout for my garden. This patch system isn't working for my potatoes. Also, i want to integrate my loganberries into my garden in rows somehow and my potatoes in single row raised beds as well. They do much better when they have good airflow and are in raised beds mulched with woodshavings. Everything in a patch system is now blighted, the single row raised beds are still doing fairly well, even after a full month of warm humidity and rain. Even the more blight prone ones. I might still be able to save some of these old varieties i like so much if i just baby them a bit more, otherwise i give up on growing them, but i'm willing to give them another year. The weather in Europe has gone so sour the last few years, it's so wet, all potatoes flop down with blight and the pest bird and slug populations just explode. I have never seen this many blackbirds, ever. Really, i sneak into the middle of the garden, stomp and make noise and at least 20 of them fly up. All busy turning over every square millimeter of mulch i have, dammaging or burying the plants in the process. I have always mulched but i've never had them do this much damage. They eat a lot of the tiny slugs though but it's the big ones that do the real damage unfortunately. It's a challenge to germinate, keep alive and grow anything at all at the moment. It feels like all i'm doing is sow, sow, sow stuff but i can barely get anything to maturity. She says, as the rain is hammering down on the roof for the umpteenth time today. :D Anyway, have a great weekend! Your weather looks lovely. Enjoy!
Sounds like a tough year! We have had an interesting year. Hot dry weather and then non-stop rain. In fact this episode I had to shoot in there sessions due to rain. That is the beautiful part of video you don't see the bad parts.
I think your idea for the single rows might work best. Do you have a direction for your predominant wind ? We usually have a strong west to east wind which helps !
Hope your season turns around my friend !
Ahh, i had not even thought about that! Good thinking! Thank you :) Hope your weather turns around too then. :D but it does make your garden look green and lush. Beautiful. Grapes are looking healthy. It looks like it's going to be a little bit dryer but still hang around the 20 C. Not bad work weather anyway. I'm sure we will have a lovely fall as always after a rainy summer. Enjoy your weekend, garden friend!
You too my friend
Great, well organized video.
Thank you my friend !
Great video
Nice video! Lots of great tips!
I especially like your last tip about planting in public spaces! We need more of that!
It does not take much here to get approval. The kids in my area are already very excited !
The only limitation I would put is it has to be near my house so I can tend the plants and it won't attract wildlife where they c an get hit by cars.
Great video and some really great tips!
Hope you can use them in your new garden !
Nice job, Buddy!
Thank you my friend.
Tanks 🙏
You are more than welcome
You are awesome.
Thank you my friend.
good.
Some things I have had success include growing lettuce at the base of berries and cane fruit, flax between onions with the spacing recommend in the video, and germinating carrots under lettuce and topping the lettuce once the carrot sprouts reach the bottom lettuce leaves.
Those are some great tricks. I hope to get a little more into close proximity planting like that !
I from india .very good
From Edmonton, I grow beans and peas last year but basil is the hardest things for me
I just want to make sure I understand something you said in the video. You said something about not growing into unfinished compost due to nutrients being locked up. In the video you of course did that. Was that because you actually planted your seeds in potting soil mix and this allowed the seedling to use the potting soil mix and then later on as the root system grows the unfinished compost underneath will have finished and be available for your plant. Is that about right?
Squash and melons are able to fund their own nutrients even when they are locked up. Most plants can't do that ;) so the potting soil does help them get set up and then their nature takes over and they can make do.
I never knew that you could plant squash and melons in unfinished compost and they will do fine. Does that apply to all plants in the cucurbits family i.e. pumpkins etc?
It has been my experience yes. I have done pumpkin zucchini melons and squash. This years new addition is cucumbers and so far so good.
I wonder if that method works for other crops outside of the cucurbits family.
love it guy,u NY self trying to set up a small garden I hace dpinavh ,sweetvprppers an hot peppers growing
Excellent
i've got 5 different varieties of the sktoon cherries and the Romeo is the best :D good choice
That is good to hear. I tried Juliette and Romeo at the greenhouse the other day and boy were they good. I have a sneaking suspicion the kids will get most of them as the tree grows.
Also any suggestions on where I can look for organic certified plants to plant in my backyard as want to do it the right way from the start
vertical hydroponics are a great way to save space
thanks guy I have a coconut soursop an sugar Apple tree here
Excellent!
Hi I live in Calgary and new to start growing my own produce. Not sure of which zone we fall under. Also what do you suggest we can start off with in our small backyard also leaving room for my children to play?
I really need to move down South.
Thanks for the information, do you have any videos on the benefits of air pruning in containers?
that is something I have yet to research but will likely sooner rather than later.
I enjoyed hearing about how you paired up your perennials specifically the strawberries and grapes. I will plan to put some strawberries below my grapes this year.You mentioned that you grow Goji berries. I have a bush that has been growing wonderfully for a few years but has produced no berries. Is there any secret to getting the berries to come?
Goji are like fruit trees and take some years to get producing. You seem to be close to them producing.
Excellent video. We are wondering where to purchase the netting you used in your vertical electrical trellis??Thank you
it is called vinyl tomato netting and is often available at garden centers or online at places like amazon.
I used one part compost, one part peat moss and 1 part regular soil.
Do I need to put any fertilizer at any time.
Also I have one more question. I live in Boston and I have few fig plants in 5 gallon buckets. There are lot of fruits but they are not growing big. What type of fertilizer should I use. Any suggestion would be highly appreciated.
I don't actually use fertilizers at all. I usually keep my soil mixture much simpler. 1 part compost 1 part soils mix like peat. that usually keeps things going well for me.
you can mulch the soil with things like used coffee grounds, autumn leaves and tea leaves to add more nutrients through out the season.
I heard you mention over wintering red wrigglers in your beds...I didn’t think this was possible in Edmonton....how do you do it....
I love your videos. I am amazed how much you grow in such a small space. Do you have any advice to someone who has a lot of space that is taken over by poison ivy? I have some shady areas I could be growing in. But, they are filled with two types of poison ivy. I have already had it THREE times this year. =( I refuse to spray poison because ...well...I'M GROWING FOOD. lol Do you have any suggestions of what might kill this stuff that won't harm my garden? I'm so tired of poison ivy and I can't plant shady crops because of it.
My friend that is one weed I am certainly glad I don't have right now! What I suggest is going into a locally owned garden centre and talking to the horticulturist about it. They may be able to give you much better advice than myself whom has never dealt with that issue.
Do you know how LUCKY you are!???? LOL
Believe it or not, you're the lucky one for having poison ivy. Today's poison Ivy is tomorrow's bacon! You just need a pig. They'll root up poison ivy completely. If you're rural and can keep a pig without violating any local ordinances, this is the best way to go. A piglet will cost about $100. Then you need 4 hog panels ($25 each). Water container, and feed. If you're not into raising a pig for slaughter (I know many who won't do that), you can get a miniature pet pot-bellied pig. As a "pet" this also side-steps many of the zoning ordinances which prevent people from having livestock. They cost a bit more, but are easier to keep, require less land and feed, and can be used like an instant compost pile / roto-tiller. Fencing however is important as they will eat everything they have access to. The hog panels are easy to move around in just a few minutes.
That really is the best answer. No herbicide can do what a pig will. Move the pen after they've cleared the area, and it's already tilled (without you having picked up a shovel even once) and fertilized (without spending a dime on chemical fertilizers).
If that's out of the question, you need to just keep hacking it back. Get some lambskin beekeepers gloves (they'll go all the way up your arm). A $10 machete, and just hack them back. Bag them in black plastic contractor's bags and set them in the sun a for a few weeks to cook before incorporating into compost. This will take a couple of years, with you making a pass through the area every month or so, but each successive pass is easier than the last.
Meanwhile, you need a competing groundcover. Mulch the area heavily and plant sweet woodruff (galium orodantum). It will eventually form a thick mat which the poison ivy can't grow through. You can also harvest it for it's strong, sweet scent (it's odorless fresh, but dry, it can be burned like incense). Hostas will also help choke out poison Ivy, or for broad-leafed food producing shade plants, try horseradish and ramps. There are also quite a few edible ferns (the shoots are eaten like asparagus).
On the other side of the equation, it would be beneficial to grow a remedy for poison ivy. Start with plantain (you likely have it in your lawn already). The macerated leaves reduce itching. Self-Heal (probably also growing in your lawn) which negates the toxin and prevents it from spreading if you do scratch, and witch hazel which reduces inflammation. Two out of three of these you very likely have, or can find growing in a nearby park and get seeds or whole plants to cultivate.
ILW Fascinating! Thank you for the info. Yes, plantain does grow in my yard. As far as the pig...I don't think so. Not right now. It would have to be a pot belly. I am trying to get to the point to have chickens first. I'm learning from the man I get my eggs from. Again, thank you for all the info. Much appreciated. Oh how I wish I could borrow a pig for a week or so!! LOL
Yeah, it composts great. But definitely sterilize it in a plastic bag for a few weeks first. The smallest cutting will root, even in a 160°F compost pile. I don't know how, but they are extremely heat resistant and are often the first plants to come back after a forest fire. An alternative is desiccation. Just build a 4' x 4' frame with chicken wire stretched across it, and pile your nastiest weeds on that. They'll dry out and die. This doesn't kill seeds however, so I still prefer the plastic bag method.
great video just a little fast usually garden videos are way too long. still great information
Do you leave your goji berries outside in the winter?
Yup they are hardy to zone 2. Last weeks episode goes into much more detail on container perennials.
I can attest to their hardiness. I'm in USDA Zone 4b, and mine don't even flower until mid september (after my first frost date). I'm picking berries in late October. The love the cold.
They also prefer alkaline soils. I've noticed a huge difference in fruit size simply by liming the soil in spring.
which square foot planting book did you enjoy?
Square foot gardening by Mel bartholemue (sp?)
Great video. Looks like you lost some weight! Thumbs up!
I have lost a touch of weight. Thanks for noticing !
love to buy some cuttings sometime aswell we would like to support u aswell
Hello Stephen, would like to know what is the fencing material you use at ua-cam.com/video/KRBPgnYBsZs/v-deo.html. Is it a cattle fencing?
I tried to grow potatoes in 5 gallon buckets. I got only 3 potatoes from one bucket. Also one of the potatoes had a small orange worm in it. What is it that I am not doing right? Also my carrots and beets are very small. Any suggestions please
what kind of soil did you use ?
1 square metre is 10 square feet.
Imperial always gets me :)
#BRINGSTEVENBACK
I wish my friend !
What’s happened ???
Does your fence deter groundhogs?
No but if you dig it down 3 feet and in 1 foot and use metal animal fencing it would.
I'm growing figs in my garden but they are extremely hard, is there any sort of treatment for this problem?
They need more time to ripen. The skin should feel soft.
In my country it is not legal to plant flowers or trees in public places.
I live in an apartment but next to my apartment there’s a small space maybe my manager will let us grow food there
Would be better if you can speak slower so I can follow as I am a beginner. Otherwise very informative. Cheers
PROduce not PRAWduce! Love the channel tho! :)
Spoken like an American...he's Canadian, thus he speaks that way! Funny how that works, eh?
Lol sorry my Canadianisms are coming across :)
the word produce is latin, from the late middle English, which came to america. So it was our word first, you fellows up north just got to saying incorrectly! Its PRO-duce!
That is more than fine. I don't mind saying it the Canadian way.
this whole video was annoying. PRAWduce made me wanna kick this guy in the nads.
why do so many youtubers speak like they're reading it? oh wait they are but, you're not suppose to know they are. its almost as bad as the computer voiced videos.
uploader just drones and drones...with a dash of droning. My box fan has more character.
I thought something was off with this video, he does look like he is talking in parts of the video but I guess not
I enjoyed hearing about how you paired up your perennials specifically the strawberries and grapes. I will plan to put some strawberries below my grapes this year.You mentioned that you grow Goji berries. I have a bush that has been growing wonderfully for a few years but has produced no berries. Is there any secret to getting the berries to come?
It takes some years for Goji to produce. Be patient.
