    The Bible says that a good man leaves an inheritance for his children's children--that's my goal. At near 66 years old, I'm setting up my three acres for my grandchildren. I may or may not see fruit/nuts from the trees I'm planting, but they will. It is however, gratifying to have some production from fruit bearing plants, especially those that will continue to produce well into their adult lives. I want them to look at the food forest I built and think "Papa did this for me."

      We use professional grade netting (Orchard Valley Supply) for blueberries, look up professional knitted netting for grapes. Raspberries and blackberries we just pick asap and hope. Birds don’t like large berries, so try large fruited blackberries, like Triple Crown. We also have trap crops like mulberries that keep birds away from cherries. Strawberries we net. We don’t care for currants, so use them as trap crops. If you have something that a raccoon wants to eat, electric fencing is the only way to go. Metal baffles may deter squirrels from fruit trees, no promises here as they are incredibly clever. Good luck!

    I posted this on another channel and figured a few folks might need to hear this if they’re having a tough year in their garden.
    For reference, I’m 5b in CO with awful clay soil, bone-dry wind, and relentless 5k+ altitude sun.
    To the post-
    It’s been a challenging year and I’ve taken quite a few garden “L’s” on the chin, from the May snowstorm that broke everything that switched abruptly to extreme heat, to escaped chickens ripping apart the garden, to our German Shepherds barreling through fences while playing this morning and smashing the blueberry I planted last night. Last night for crying out loud! 🤬
    It seems like it’s always something this year.
    But alas, dogs will be dogs, chickens will be chickens, and the CO weather will CO weather.
    I’ll keep rolling with the punches, and making the necessary adjustments.
    I’m focusing on getting as many perennials and trees in the ground knowing the work we put in this year will be an investment in fruitful harvests for years to come.
    In short, things don’t always go as planned. Don’t get discouraged, keep keepin’ on.
    If I can do it, anyone can.

I believe I saw one of your videos years ago when you were first starting out (forgive me for not staying the course) and recently your channel started popping up again and I was like, "Hey? I think that's the guy I saw YEARS ago? Look at how his garden has GROWN!!" So fantastic. I love your enthusiasm, I love your dog Tuck 💖🍓, and I'm learning a LOT. So just wanted to say thank you and God bless!

    Love Tuck 🥰 Thank you for the excellent suggestions, which i will surely incorporate.
    Another possible addition to your list is the fig tree, which is easy to grow and beautiful with healthy delicious fruit. There are many varieties, with cold hardy types for northern gardeners.
    Even if fresh figs could be bought in the grocery stores, they couldn't compare with how fully ripe ones from the trees taste!
    Figs are virtually insect free, and i have baby figs in pots which are trying to produce fruit at a few inches tall! By the second year, they should be producing already. Fig trees can be kept small, when pruned yearly. This is easy to do, even for beginning gardeners, and the trimmings can be stuck in the earth for new trees in the spring, increasing the orchard or to share with others.
    You and Tuck are inspiring for all of us!🌱🦋🌱

    Yes! Berries! Strawberries & raspberries are so easy to propagate, and they're especially delicious when you grow them yourself. 😋
    Blueberries are awesome too, but not as easy to propagate and you typically need 2 or more varieties for pollination.
    Other fruits that are super easy to grow lots of: currants & gooseberries, blackberries & boysenberries, even grapes. Just stick cuttings in the dirt & keep them watered, and you'll have more bushes & vines than you'll know what to do with.
    As for bird netting, in a smaller space like yours it totally makes sense. I'm on a bit of acreage though, where netting could easily cost a lot for materials & man hours, so my strategy is to simply grow enough plants that the wildlife can have their share and I get enough for my family. Also, I've netted my berries before, and try as I may birds always found their way inside & got stuck...so I found myself extracting birds too often, lol.
    I love your channel, James, Tuck too. 👍 Your exuberance about gardening is infectious.

    Funny just finding this. I've grown Strawberries successfully the last 2 years. I bought one Strawberry this year back in February and had it inside under grow lights rooting runners till I could bring it outside. I now have 5 Strawberries. In addition, this year I went a little nuts and amassed 8 different cultivars of Blueberries. They include Duke, Elliot, Chandler, Jersey, Bonus, BlueGold, Pink Icing, and Sweetheart. Got a Goji. Hoping my Meyer's Lemon fruits this year and I fear my Lime may never produce. I also have 3 figs, Olympian, Hardy Chicago, and Violette de Bordeaux. My little space is getting crowded and I love it.

      I have been sprinkling crused red dried peppers on some plants and it has kept the raccoons off! Also sprinkled some on my front deck and it has ended the raid of the outside cats food as well. I like this idea. I am not certain about how it will affect deer, but may be good, as they go by smell as well.

    I just got my first place and lucky for me a previous owner from well over a decade ago planted raspberries, left the wild blackberries unchecked, and I have two pecan trees! Also got my hands on a pink lemonade blueberry plant cause the nursery near me was having a sale on some stuff for in store only. Got some muscadines from them too, and going back once their apple and nectarine trees are back in stock.

I have no idea which type, they're bright red, sweet & harvesting begins on fathers day. Our Peppermint came to us the same way!

Leave in cool dark spot in your house. I like it when it is just barely alcoholic and sweet and sparkling. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ to the infinity adorable Tuck.

    My garden is urban and small. I plan on starting strawberries in one of my raised beds next year. I'm in zone 4 and wanted to mention that Haskap bushes grow really well here and they are the earliest fruit to come into season here. They taste similar to blueberries. You do need two varieties. We've been enjoying them for 3 weeks now. They are big and good for eating fresh right off the bush. They will start to wane just as our raspberries are starting to fruit.

  • @aletheist2709
    @aletheist2709 Рік тому +1

    Raspberries are awesome. I got some free red raspberries from my sister-in-law and they've grown like weeds. Some blackcap raspberries started growing where the birds like to shit off the railing on my deck. I dug them all up, and moved them to a better location, and now have a huge harvest of delicious blackcap's. They are the easiest plant to grow, were free, and are very rewarding. I also tried a thornless variety, but have had much less success with it. They seem to be more susceptible to bugs and critters; I guess the thorns are there for a reason ;).
