  • We thought about doing a summer tour with Sean and Sasha at their own 1/2-acre homestead, which you can see here on the channel (and on their channel ‪@edibleacres‬ ), but instead we headed over to Trumansburg to see how he turned his parent's 6-acre backyard into a permaculture paradise.

    I LOVE this video! I have been doing what he does for years, I didn't realize it was called permaculture. I purchase empty lots and land with no trees and I plant them with mostly native plants and trees, I plant alot of black walnut, mulberry, raspberry, apples, blueberry and flowers that have seeds for the birds, butterflies and other wildlife, I also have ponds for the wildlife. My mother jokes with me every time I purchase some land, she says, are you going to turn this into a jungle too? I just laugh and say,I sure am!!

      Haha, Bob Ross! Yeah, I guess so. I've subscribed to his channel for a while, and in the beginning his soft-spokenness kind of bugged me, but he's such a nice and funny guy, and has the coolest laid-back holistic approach to gardening, that I just cannot see myself mad on.

    That’s so interesting to see his perspective on the ideal interaction with the Lane and not being bothered by native and non native…. It seems to me from a total layman perspective that this is one of the least intrusive ways to be part of the landscape whilst also being able to benefit by eating from and also having a business selling plants. Love it, really refreshing to see such minimal interference, the path of least resistance as he says🙌👌🤩🌱🍀💐🌸

    I'll be watching this a few more times. Listening to your conversation was very enjoyable. Along the way I learned the names & appearance of some natives in Upstate NY, which I haven't seen in my neck-o-the-woods, here in MA, Zone 5B.
    Though not too far from where you folks are, likely with a very similar climate, yet I saw several plants I've heard of but have never seen around here, even when I was a child back in the 50s when I lived in a rural area in Central MA. I'd enjoyed exploring the fields, woods & around the edges of a ponds at the bottom of the hill, behind our house quite a bit.
    Where the soil had been bulldozed to create a clearing, many years before, in summer, that was where the milkweeds & a few smaller full sun wild plants grew in that gritty bulldozed & roughly leveled area, & where I'd go to watch butterflies, wasps, & honeybees, and more flit about.
    I personally opened many dried milk weed pods & set free hundreds of the silky little balls of fluff that carried the Milkweed seeds up into the air on the slightest breeze.
