I can dig the longer videos. I don't watch much TV so I look forward to sitting down and learning. I always get inspired when I virtually tour your garden. Thanks for all that you do!
I agree. I actually don't have a TV. My wife and myself made a decision not to buy a TV when we got married. It's been 6 years now and still no TV. We don't need it. We are more productive. But sometimes you still just feel like putting your feet up. Then channels like this on youtube is what I enjoy. I like watching things that won't waste my time. Things I can learn from when I'm relaxing. Because I also started a garden and started fruit trees from seed in pots.
I like longer and shorter ones - they are both great! You're not kidding when you said you're near the ocean, I can hear seagulls! Your videos are fantastic and very helpful. Thank you for sharing your passion with us!
James, You are so right about gardening. The feeling of watching a seed you lovingly planted burst out of the soil, grow and then harvest fresh, sweet, water filled fruit or veggie is so special.
Soooo..I love the longer vids..I usually watch them two or three times while I dream my next garden into existence. Your vids are very healing to me, they spark hope into what I envision my next gardening journey to be. As you know, my town burnt to the ground..But Guess What I HAVE! I went up to the prop to scavenge around and found three seedling Trees, only was remains but its looking good so far. From one of my gone now walnut trees! So now that seeding is representing the beginning of what will be my new food forest down the road a bit, it will be my gardian tree. Keep doing what you do my friend,
I love any video you post. I watch them all the way through. And it’s so true about the tomatoes from the store. Anyone that says that has never grown a tomato. I actually think people that don’t like tomatoes is because they’ve never had a real one. Thank you James! I started my garden this year after a few years of not having one. You inspired me!!!!
Omg your winecaps are ginormous! You dont need to buy spawn, you have avery healthy colony going already! Synergy in action, you will start getting new species you did not plant. Move the chips near that monster king stropharia when its done spawning, with some fresh clean woodchips, and you will have them everywhere! Love seeing what you are doing. My food forest is tiny, as my yard is about 500 sq feet. But I get a lot from it, 9 years in and so glad I did it! Still refining... I agree--start now! With whatever you can. Learn and grow, grow and learn. Last year I had enough extra pears and peaches that it was easy to share with friends and neighbors! And they are blown away by the flavor and succulence! Store peaches=cardboard. Real abundance, with some tlc and patience. Your work on your garden and in showing this to others is sacred, priceless, and an act of pure love. Zone 5 Wis here. You are almost 3-4 weeks ahead of us in growing terms. I am getting a sneak preview of my own yard!
James your videos are great. I could watch a full day in the life of the Jersey food forest and not be bored! It’s channels like yours that inspire me to do more in my own garden. I’m now at 20 fruit trees and 18 raised beds. There is nothing more satisfying than feeding yourself from your own yard!
25 min of Bliss buddy.... Keep em coming. Better than t.v show. You bring my wife and u closer with these videos. No joke. We don't argue about what to watch, especially when a Pigioni video drops. A family that gardens together..stays together. thanks for what you do!!!!
@@jamesprigioni the best length video is what your feeling that day. We appreciate you care for our input but ultimately I hope you do you. Most sincere thanks and graduate from fort Erie Ontario
Thank you for being an inspiration........ my sister is starting a 1/2 acre (she will expand further down the road) food forest due to you! She is buying a farm and after we watched your videos, we decided that's what she needs to do with a section of the land. We have tree services that will drop their ground trees off! I dont mind the longer videos, keep them coming!
Shawna Muschamp here James. Hanging out with my 91yr old neighbor. I finally got the opportunity to show him your channel. He was a gardener when he was younger growing up in the great depression. Therefore, I knew he would appreciate your video. He was blown by the things that we can do with technology now a day. It's amazing how flourishing your garden has become after your last upload.💚🍃
That’s beautiful Shawna! So nice to hear you spend some time with him, you sound like you have a loving heart. I am often blown away by it too. It’s a great thing when we use technology to bring people together and benefit one another. I am grateful to live in the times that we do 🙏❤️ Thank you for your kindness 😁
@@jamesprigioniThanks! Me too. I feel so blessed to go on this journey with you. I'm grateful I came across your channel. I now know that you have two of my favorite fruits in your garden. Peaches and Raspberries. However, I've never tried yellow Raspberries. Do they taste the same as the traditional ones?
I’ve been gardening since I was young and I feel like God puts the love of gardening in some peoples souls. Thank you so much for taking the time to make these videos!!! I came for the chickens and stayed for the garden!!!
Put in six small raised beds this yr so I can keep the rabbits out. I also got to put in 7 fruit trees that are dwarf. It was a lot of work but so worthwhile. Now a native peach is coming up and will replace a dying dogwood. You are a big part of why I got this done it was that your doing all this here in overtaxed Jersey. I have to do this in stages due to age but I keep humping along. Thanks James for the inspiration. Stay safe and keep on growing. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻❤️❤️❤️🖖🏻💪🏻🙋🏼♀️🐾🐾🐾
James, love your channel. Don't worry about those who say your videos are too long. There's a ton of valuable information you're sharing and I love to see your food forest updates and progress. Keep it up, you're doing an amazing thing!
Thank you Jamesand Tuck, I look forward to these videos. More than 20 minutes is long but I still find time because I really appreciate your content. I enjoyed how in your videos last year you would focus on one section of the garden per video with the occasional full garden tour and how to videos.
Bring on the long videos bruv. Really enjoy seeing the notification that you got a new one post, especially when I'm just coming in from my own 1st year food forest. Going to be a great summer!!
I enjoy the longer videos also. Love the cameos of Tuck as well, always great to see him during your show. It's because of your gardening and your enthusiasm that I've decided to expand the little gardening I do. Thanks for what you do and keep the videos coming!
Loving the longer videos. Discovered you in the winter and have been dying to get started. I've never gardened a day in my life but you and others have been inspiring! Last week I got my first load of chips after calling around to tree companies. Two large pine trees and I can't get them spread fast enough. I'm so excited and eager to get started with my own Food Forest. Working with what I have, Always. Thanks Guys. Please keep the videos coming 🙏
Love your videos James. Deeply informative, greatly inspiring. A year ago I had no idea this type of gardening existed. Now I've taken small steps, using a lot of the techniques you've shown to grow my own small garden. This past summer (I live in New Zealand) I had my first harvest and we've still got lots of food growing and more coming online. Much respect to you, keep up the great work.
Do your thing. People will leave if they need and come back later if need be. Your content is PRICELESS, please dont change a thing. I trust your values. Trust me to take it as i need it.
I like your long videos. The tours of your food forest inspired me to do our own food forest. I have seen other food forests and none of them motivated me like yours do.
LOVE the longer videos! I learn so much more. Please make some longer!! Blessings from NE Missouri! Oh My Gosh! I am SO glad you talked about your mushrooms because I started to panic when I saw all the mushrooms in our BTE garden! They are all over the place! YAY! They are a good thing then! That makes me very happy!
If you see that 🍄 mushroom it's the fungus flowering and says I am healthy and thriving! Just explained that to my father in law today. Happy gardening!🌱😁
James, I love watching your videos. The longer the better. Your garden is so amazing I wish I were your neighbor. The videos are so interesting to see how everything grows and progresses. This is how we all learn. It gets me motivated and makes me want to run up to my garden and just walk through it and make sure everything is just as perfect as it can be. We bought about 7 new fruit trees this year after watching your videos. The figs are coming in and they're so cute I can't wait to taste one off of a tree that I planted. Thanks and keep them coming. Wish I had a Tuck, too.
I learn so much from you! Especially love learning about fruit trees and berries. I’m starting to grow my own so I want to learn how to take good care of them. 🤗 Thanks for the videos- I know they are a lot of work!
I have a 1/3 acre too. Yours looks so much bigger. I've planted 2 trees and 4 bushes, Blackberry, Blueberry, 2 different grapes. I still have 3 more fruit trees and 2 more bushes, and I've been pruning my old trees. I have so many plants left to plant. You've turned me into a mad woman. It's all about the garden. Thanks for the long needed encouragement ♥
James, I enjoy your videos and your channel. As per your question, personally, I generally prefer watching videos that are 10-15 minutes long unless the video is going into some depth on a particular subject. Having said that, this video did not seem long because you kept us engaged throughout. Your enthusiasm is contagious. Keep growing!
I’m always surprised by the idea that a 25 minute video is too long. I think you should share the content you’re inspired to share. We’re all here b/c we’re learning so much and enjoying the videos. If someone is struggling with their attention span they can always jump ahead a bit or pause the video to finish watching later. Thanks for all the food for thought (pun intended) and the encouragement!
Video length is great. Watching someone talk about something they're knowledgeable and passionate about is never boring. I'm just beginning to transform my yard and you help keep me motivated when I get discouraged.
Don’t stop making your videos! The longer, the more I enjoy and learn. I can’t tell you how much we enjoy my heirloom tomatoes (especially seeing the same tomatoes at $4.99 at Publix!!!). The taste of everything coming from the garden is unequal to anything you can buy! Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
I'm also for the longer videos. Much respect and admiration for your garden and insightful outlook to life. I feel privileged to having come across your channel on UA-cam. Peace
Inspiring work, James! All your videos continue to bring value. Thank you for taking the time to share you knowledge and experience. You and Tuck make a great, generous team.
Agree with what you said about just doing it even if your plot is not ideal. First year of production at my house. All slopes and hills. Strawberries are coming in already, but it's not quite warm enough for them to be sweet. Counted seven nectarines this weekend! Very excited. Videos coming soon.
And now look at your food forest! Such an amazing thing you created! Neat to see the difference from 3 yrs ago til now. Ty for featuring Tuck, James. He's absolutely adorbs! Blessings my friend!
I love the long videos. I prefer watching content like yours instead of binging on Netflix. I like Netflix, but I actually learn valuable information from your content. Thank you!
When you make a longer video I have to watch while have my coffee and eat breakfast after I drop my daughter off at school and before I get the workday going. It’s a pleasant part of day.🌸
My dad was a farmer in the beautiful 🏝 of Grenada 🇬🇩 where I was born. As a kid we ate organic, however we did not even know that word until about eight years ago. My dreams is to return home and do some farming. Surrounded by 💐, natural fruits and vegetables 🌶 relaxes me.
Love the longer videos so, if you decide to continue this length, I, for one, will be very happy. Thanks for all your hard work and passion. Cheers from Sheffield, UK 👍
Longer videos are ok. I watch during dinner breaks or early in mornings when I wake up & it's too early to get out of bed. Love that you take us along to see the growth & show the pruning. Can see your enjoyment & love that you feel for gardening.
Love all of your videos James! 20 minutes is not too long at all! I get so stoked every single time one of your videos comes up on my feed. 20 minutes is a great length to take a break and come in from the garden especially when doing something labor intensive like shoveling woodchips. Keep up the great work and we will keep encouraging you!
I personally enjoy the longer videos, also I don't own my house, so what I did is growing vegetables in bags, and buckets. Thank you for being so inspiring. God bless you.
Please keep producing the longer videos. I learn so much more and it's always a pleasure watching your passion come alive in your food forest. Shorter videos just don't compare, when you have so much to offer viewers and big fans like myself.
I really enjoy your longer videos James.... they allow you to go in depth and take your time explaining, which I appreciate. It feels like a lovely conversation with a valued friend.
long time lurker first time commenting. love the vids. love the plants. love your garden. im only on my second year and i am in love with the whole process. great job to you brother.
I LOVE THE LONGER VIDEOS! I HATE HAVING TO FIND A NEW VIDEO THAT IM INTERESTED IN EVERY 5 - 10 MINS. WITH YOUR LONG VIDS. I CAN WATCH AND LISTEN AND YOU GET MORE INFO YOU GET ON A ROLL! AND THE INFO IS FANTASTIC! THANK YOU!
Personally I would say make them videos as long as you like because as you said, gardening is about patience and learning and time and love and this video for example is packed with love and tips and explanations and not always verbal explanations but also visually too. I even liked the noise of a car passing by which gets to show that you don’t have to be an off the grid anarchist to have a good Forrest. I basically love your videos so much and have just started loving gardening and growing.
I love the longer videos. You give me inspiration by showing your garden at every stage. You remind me not to wait, but to get it planted. Thank you for your videos and your enthusiasm!
I grafted two apples in march or April. The master gardeners gave a workshop at the extension office. I'm so excited to see them flourishing! Gardening makes me happy and sane!
Very beautiful. All green again. Really, everything we plant at home without poisons, has another flavor, besides the pleasure of helping our mother land so deforested, so suffered.
As per waiting for your big perfect space, you are SO RIGHT!!! I was born & raised in NYC and never had any soil of my own-- but I started with a few pots on a porch in my teens-- a cherry tomato, a cucumber, a few herbs. When I moved to a new state I had a bigger space-- a patio. More pots-- started growing zucchini, leafy greens, etc., utilized wire shelf racks and hanging pots to maximize space. I grew a lot in that small 6-x-12 space and learned a lot and got a lot of joy and satisfaction out of everything that came out of my container garden. Then I rented a house with a yard. More space, but I couldn't tear up the land so more pots, kept increasing what I grew and experimented. Now I live in KY and I have a cottage on a sunny 1/4 acre and I've been putting in beds and working on it-- it is my dream garden, and my previous experience has me ready for it. But also it would have been sad to go 30/40 years without gardening just because I was waiting for this space, so much joy I would have missed out on. I say if all you can do is pots of herbs on a windowsill, don't wait. Indulge with what you can, you will appreciate everything you get out of it. Never wait to get your hands in the dirt.
I enjoy all of your videos, regardless of length! You inspired me to add a mountain of wood chips this past fall, and I'm doing my best to maneuver around and under them to get my garden planted. It's looking great so far, but I am continuing to learn and look forward to more of your videos.
You may be too hard on yourself and not totally realizing how important your work is, but I wanna say this, all your hard work and dedication and sharing is important to me and I'm sure it is to many others. Hope you stay inspired and passionate about what you do
Hi James, I love how you described the feeling of growing and eating your own fruits and veggies from your own garden.Perfectly said, I totally 100% agree 👍😁🙏🏽.
James, I just want you to know I really do appreciate your channel. I’ve been following your channel for the past 2+ years. You have inspired me so much. I’ve been working so much in trying to turn my 2.8 acres into permaculture food source. Boy, this has been a total learning experience for me. I’m loving it! It keeps me busy! This will take years but, I’m all for it! Thank you! :-D
In spite of the COVID pandemic I'm busier then ever in the garden. 20 minutes max for us as we watch the videos during breakfast and need to get outside early.
i constantly find myself rewinding videos. If i miss even one sentence... Or just a few seconds of video. I'm afraid of what info i might be missing. And what lovely plants im not seeing! Really really glad i found your channel. This is a place of peace for me, can't even imagine the feeling YOU get in YOUR food forest. Must feel amazing. I need a new life away from alcohol... I need the plant life. I wish it was closer to spring but thankfully you've shared what we can do in the autumn! Time to resume watching! Thanks James! Amazing following along
I came across your channel 3 years ago when I first started gardening. I was like. "I don't understand half of what he is talking about." This winter after a few set back with my 2nd year garden I spent time reading, watching videos and learning my craft. Now that I took the time to learn the basics words like, harding, pruning and such your channel has become an inspiration! I planted 4 trees, gooseberry and more raspberry, and I plan to do more. Thank you for inspiring, teaching & calming. Just found my first aphids ever. Thanks to you I didn't freak out. Just went to work, and said to myself "losses happen but I am in this for the long haul." Thanks again
I live in Upstate NY and it's crazy how far ahead you're plants and trees are already. Flowers have just opened on our peaches, plums and pear, apple trees are a day or two away for blossom.
Make your videos as long as they need to be. I appreciate your enthusiasm and passion! I crave your knowledge and your techniques. A passionate gardener could talk gardening all day long! Keep the videos coming. Don't worry about the length!
love your gardens, James! I live in NJ, too. I'd like to ask which berry is the best to try planting first. I cannot imagine how you maintain your prolific garden. Keep the videos going because you inspire so many of us. Long or short, I will watch and enjoy them all.
I would love if you did a video of how you prepare and apply the kaolin clay spread James, it would be super helpful for newbies like me (and a great documentation for your records 😁😁) Looking so good!
On this topic, James, your garden and whatever fruit and veggies you're growing always look so healthy. Except the groundhogs and birds and a few other pests, what do you do to combat pests? I know you've often said you garden with nature not against it and I support this philosophy 100%. Yet, I've grown strawberries many of which were eaten by centipedes, broccoli destroyed by aphids, pheasants and guinea fowl pecking at my bell peppers and snails feasting on all my greens...spinach, lettuces, etc. What do you do, organically, to protect your crops as it seems you have only minor pest issues? For. the most part you're getting bumper crops of delish, vine-ripened healthy, juicy fruit & veg. What's the secret?
Hey James and Tuck! The food forest really going! Makes me happy to watch 'cause the trees are *just* starting to bud here in NE Canada. I was feeling bad for the peach tree after the hard prune but it really sprung back! Great Work!
The good thing about expanding the food forest is you have more growing to show!!!! More the better it's all awesome no worries about any length of video
James, I am with you all the way. I am not waiting for my (first) ten acre property. I have (starting last July...now it is January) started turning my less than a fifth of an acre, construction material based, rented inner city lot. And our orientation year (the latter part of last season here in Tucson, AZ) was wonderful! We got about a dozen winter squash, and a lot of green onions. Now, we have red russian kale growing, and a few other things. I am going full steam ahead. We tried propegating 32 Moringa Tree cuttings, and have good growth on the largest one. Sprouted its first leafs on Christmas day! It is my intention to make a living from the food I grow on this tiny, garbage soil, city lot.
Seemed like 5 minutes to me. Keep em coming 👍 your season is about two weeks ahead of mine, perfect timing for new ideas. Planted Jerusalem artichoke this year 😄
I love to hear that my friend! Glad you enjoyed it. That's perfect, you get to be on top of the things I may be late on. Ohh nice, those are a reliable crop, a true permaculture edible
I also enjoy the longer videos. No need to follow the herd with short videos. Gardening requires patience anyway. I watch your videos instead of netflix when I'm going to bed. Thanks to you I have woodships in my garden now and a one month old urban food forest. Keep up the awesome work! Love from San Francisco
I love your videos just as they are. They give me and my little Yorkie Tilly so many great ideas for our NC garden. You also inspire me to try new things that I might not have thought of otherwise. I am still learning about pests and pest control so I enjoy all your tips. Thank you!
I can dig the longer videos. I don't watch much TV so I look forward to sitting down and learning. I always get inspired when I virtually tour your garden. Thanks for all that you do!

James your videos are great. I could watch a full day in the life of the Jersey food forest and not be bored! It’s channels like yours that inspire me to do more in my own garden. I’m now at 20 fruit trees and 18 raised beds. There is nothing more satisfying than feeding yourself from your own yard!

I learn so much from you! Especially love learning about fruit trees and berries. I’m starting to grow my own so I want to learn how to take good care of them. 🤗
Thanks for the videos- I know they are a lot of work!
I have a 1/3 acre too. Yours looks so much bigger. I've planted 2 trees and 4 bushes, Blackberry, Blueberry, 2 different grapes. I still have 3 more fruit trees and 2 more bushes, and I've been pruning my old trees. I have so many plants left to plant. You've turned me into a mad woman. It's all about the garden. Thanks for the long needed encouragement ♥
James, I enjoy your videos and your channel. As per your question, personally, I generally prefer watching videos that are 10-15 minutes long unless the video is going into some depth on a particular subject. Having said that, this video did not seem long because you kept us engaged throughout. Your enthusiasm is contagious. Keep growing!
I’m always surprised by the idea that a 25 minute video is too long. I think you should share the content you’re inspired to share. We’re all here b/c we’re learning so much and enjoying the videos. If someone is struggling with their attention span they can always jump ahead a bit or pause the video to finish watching later. Thanks for all the food for thought (pun intended) and the encouragement!
Video length is great. Watching someone talk about something they're knowledgeable and passionate about is never boring. I'm just beginning to transform my yard and you help keep me motivated when I get discouraged.
Don’t stop making your videos! The longer, the more I enjoy and learn. I can’t tell you how much we enjoy my heirloom tomatoes (especially seeing the same tomatoes at $4.99 at Publix!!!). The taste of everything coming from the garden is unequal to anything you can buy! Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
I totally agree! Nothing like homegrown tomatoes 🍅 I enjoy giving them away to my fam, friends and neighbors...Shout out to Tuck!
I'm also for the longer videos. Much respect and admiration for your garden and insightful outlook to life. I feel privileged to having come across your channel on UA-cam.
Peace
I definitely understand eating your own grown food!!! There's no going back. My brain is like it renewed itself!!
All gardeners like you should assemble and change the fucken world!!! I love this channel, thank you!!!
I'm new to all this so I'm just soaking it all in and could never get tired of watching! This is a wealth of information! Thank you!
And yeah I love watching any length videos you can put out I've learned a lot so thank you
Inspiring work, James! All your videos continue to bring value. Thank you for taking the time to share you knowledge and experience. You and Tuck make a great, generous team.
Agree with what you said about just doing it even if your plot is not ideal. First year of production at my house. All slopes and hills. Strawberries are coming in already, but it's not quite warm enough for them to be sweet. Counted seven nectarines this weekend! Very excited. Videos coming soon.
Man, I wish I lived in NJ, because you are my kind of person, and I'd want to be your friend! 😁
As always, I love your passion and custodianship. Longer vids? Like a tv show? Yes, maybe but a LEARNING tv show, far nicer than just a tv show.
Thank you Carly! Haha, that is true. Glad to hear you enjoy the videos 😁❤️
Yay! New video! So excited to see the forest!
Glad to hear that my friend. I hope you enjoy it little fiery one :)
And now look at your food forest! Such an amazing thing you created! Neat to see the difference from 3 yrs ago til now. Ty for featuring Tuck, James. He's absolutely adorbs! Blessings my friend!
I jus wrote this comment, because I'd like to support you! Nice video!
Thanks David 😁
I can pass over other videos just to watch yours. Very nicely done.
I love the long videos. I prefer watching content like yours instead of binging on Netflix. I like Netflix, but I actually learn valuable information from your content. Thank you!
When you make a longer video I have to watch while have my coffee and eat breakfast after I drop my daughter off at school and before I get the workday going. It’s a pleasant part of day.🌸
My dad was a farmer in the beautiful 🏝 of Grenada 🇬🇩 where I was born. As a kid we ate organic, however we did not even know that word until about eight years ago. My dreams is to return home and do some farming. Surrounded by 💐, natural fruits and vegetables 🌶 relaxes me.
Keep the long videos coming, they're more helpful than you know. Lengthy videos just means more valuable information to me. Thank you.
Love the longer videos so, if you decide to continue this length, I, for one, will be very happy.
Thanks for all your hard work and passion.
Cheers from Sheffield, UK 👍
Longer videos are ok. I watch during dinner breaks or early in mornings when I wake up & it's too early to get out of bed. Love that you take us along to see the growth & show the pruning. Can see your enjoyment & love that you feel for gardening.
Love all of your videos James! 20 minutes is not too long at all! I get so stoked every single time one of your videos comes up on my feed. 20 minutes is a great length to take a break and come in from the garden especially when doing something labor intensive like shoveling woodchips. Keep up the great work and we will keep encouraging you!
Really enjoy the 20 +/- videos. They provide information that can't be shown in anything shorter. LOVE seeing Tuc in the videos. Thanks.
I personally enjoy the longer videos, also I don't own my house, so what I did is growing vegetables in bags, and buckets. Thank you for being so inspiring. God bless you.
Please keep producing the longer videos. I learn so much more and it's always a pleasure watching your passion come alive in your food forest. Shorter videos just don't compare, when you have so much to offer viewers and big fans like myself.
Your longer vlogs are more informative and inspirational. I get so inspired when I watch you and Tuck change the world. Keep it up. 👍
I really enjoy your longer videos James.... they allow you to go in depth and take your time explaining, which I appreciate. It feels like a lovely conversation with a valued friend.
long time lurker first time commenting. love the vids. love the plants. love your garden. im only on my second year and i am in love with the whole process. great job to you brother.
I LOVE THE LONGER VIDEOS!
I HATE HAVING TO FIND A NEW VIDEO THAT IM INTERESTED IN EVERY 5 - 10 MINS.
WITH YOUR LONG VIDS. I CAN WATCH AND LISTEN AND YOU GET MORE INFO
YOU GET ON A ROLL! AND THE INFO IS FANTASTIC!
THANK YOU!
Personally I would say make them videos as long as you like because as you said, gardening is about patience and learning and time and love and this video for example is packed with love and tips and explanations and not always verbal explanations but also visually too.
I even liked the noise of a car passing by which gets to show that you don’t have to be an off the grid anarchist to have a good Forrest. I basically love your videos so much and have just started loving gardening and growing.
I love the longer videos. You give me inspiration by showing your garden at every stage. You remind me not to wait, but to get it planted. Thank you for your videos and your enthusiasm!
I grafted two apples in march or April. The master gardeners gave a workshop at the extension office. I'm so excited to see them flourishing! Gardening makes me happy and sane!
I love your longer videos, they inspire me while I wait for my climate to warm enough for my young forest to leaf out and set fruit.
Very beautiful. All green again. Really, everything we plant at home without poisons, has another flavor, besides the pleasure of helping our mother land so deforested, so suffered.
I enjoy the long vids James , I think most of us subscribers are here to learn and enjoy seeing nature thrive . Keep up the good work
Thanks Vincent! I appreciate the input brother
As per waiting for your big perfect space, you are SO RIGHT!!! I was born & raised in NYC and never had any soil of my own-- but I started with a few pots on a porch in my teens-- a cherry tomato, a cucumber, a few herbs. When I moved to a new state I had a bigger space-- a patio. More pots-- started growing zucchini, leafy greens, etc., utilized wire shelf racks and hanging pots to maximize space. I grew a lot in that small 6-x-12 space and learned a lot and got a lot of joy and satisfaction out of everything that came out of my container garden. Then I rented a house with a yard. More space, but I couldn't tear up the land so more pots, kept increasing what I grew and experimented.
Now I live in KY and I have a cottage on a sunny 1/4 acre and I've been putting in beds and working on it-- it is my dream garden, and my previous experience has me ready for it. But also it would have been sad to go 30/40 years without gardening just because I was waiting for this space, so much joy I would have missed out on. I say if all you can do is pots of herbs on a windowsill, don't wait. Indulge with what you can, you will appreciate everything you get out of it. Never wait to get your hands in the dirt.
I enjoy all of your videos, regardless of length! You inspired me to add a mountain of wood chips this past fall, and I'm doing my best to maneuver around and under them to get my garden planted. It's looking great so far, but I am continuing to learn and look forward to more of your videos.
You may be too hard on yourself and not totally realizing how important your work is, but I wanna say this, all your hard work and dedication and sharing is important to me and I'm sure it is to many others. Hope you stay inspired and passionate about what you do
Hi! I'm from Brasil. My mom and I love your videos! I enjoy your longer videos!
Hiiii Angelina!!! That is awesome, I'm glad to hear that you both enjoy them. Thanks for your input my friends :)
Hi James, I love how you described the feeling of growing and eating your own fruits and veggies from your own garden.Perfectly said, I totally 100% agree 👍😁🙏🏽.
James, I just want you to know I really do appreciate your channel. I’ve been following your channel for the past 2+ years. You have inspired me so much. I’ve been working so much in trying to turn my 2.8 acres into permaculture food source. Boy, this has been a total learning experience for me. I’m loving it! It keeps me busy! This will take years but, I’m all for it! Thank you! :-D
In spite of the COVID pandemic I'm busier then ever in the garden. 20 minutes max for us as we watch the videos during breakfast and need to get outside early.
i constantly find myself rewinding videos. If i miss even one sentence... Or just a few seconds of video. I'm afraid of what info i might be missing. And what lovely plants im not seeing! Really really glad i found your channel. This is a place of peace for me, can't even imagine the feeling YOU get in YOUR food forest. Must feel amazing. I need a new life away from alcohol... I need the plant life. I wish it was closer to spring but thankfully you've shared what we can do in the autumn! Time to resume watching! Thanks James! Amazing following along
I came across your channel 3 years ago when I first started gardening. I was like. "I don't understand half of what he is talking about." This winter after a few set back with my 2nd year garden I spent time reading, watching videos and learning my craft. Now that I took the time to learn the basics words like, harding, pruning and such your channel has become an inspiration! I planted 4 trees, gooseberry and more raspberry, and I plan to do more. Thank you for inspiring, teaching & calming. Just found my first aphids ever. Thanks to you I didn't freak out. Just went to work, and said to myself "losses happen but I am in this for the long haul." Thanks again
I live in Upstate NY and it's crazy how far ahead you're plants and trees are already. Flowers have just opened on our peaches, plums and pear, apple trees are a day or two away for blossom.
20-25 min videos are great. We should be watching educational videos like yours instead of netflix anyway
I love your videos and completely enjoy every moment of them. They are consistently infinitely valuable. Thank you!
I love the longer videos. It think most gardeners do! You do such a wonderful job!
Glad to hear that Zavia! Thank you for your input and for the kind words my friend
@@jamesprigioni You are welcome.
Make your videos as long as they need to be. I appreciate your enthusiasm and passion! I crave your knowledge and your techniques. A passionate gardener could talk gardening all day long! Keep the videos coming. Don't worry about the length!
love your gardens, James! I live in NJ, too. I'd like to ask which berry is the best to try planting first. I cannot imagine how you maintain your prolific garden. Keep the videos going because you inspire so many of us. Long or short, I will watch and enjoy them all.
I would love if you did a video of how you prepare and apply the kaolin clay spread James, it would be super helpful for newbies like me (and a great documentation for your records 😁😁)
Looking so good!
Agree. Would be very beneficial.
On this topic, James, your garden and whatever fruit and veggies you're growing always look so healthy. Except the groundhogs and birds and a few other pests, what do you do to combat pests? I know you've often said you garden with nature not against it and I support this philosophy 100%. Yet, I've grown strawberries many of which were eaten by centipedes, broccoli destroyed by aphids, pheasants and guinea fowl pecking at my bell peppers and snails feasting on all my greens...spinach, lettuces, etc. What do you do, organically, to protect your crops as it seems you have only minor pest issues? For. the most part you're getting bumper crops of delish, vine-ripened healthy, juicy fruit & veg. What's the secret?
Hey James and Tuck! The food forest really going! Makes me happy to watch 'cause the trees are *just* starting to bud here in NE Canada. I was feeling bad for the peach tree after the hard prune but it really sprung back! Great Work!
The good thing about expanding the food forest is you have more growing to show!!!! More the better it's all awesome no worries about any length of video
James, I am with you all the way. I am not waiting for my (first) ten acre property. I have (starting last July...now it is January) started turning my less than a fifth of an acre, construction material based, rented inner city lot. And our orientation year (the latter part of last season here in Tucson, AZ) was wonderful! We got about a dozen winter squash, and a lot of green onions. Now, we have red russian kale growing, and a few other things. I am going full steam ahead.
We tried propegating 32 Moringa Tree cuttings, and have good growth on the largest one. Sprouted its first leafs on Christmas day!
It is my intention to make a living from the food I grow on this tiny, garbage soil, city lot.
Seemed like 5 minutes to me. Keep em coming 👍 your season is about two weeks ahead of mine, perfect timing for new ideas. Planted Jerusalem artichoke this year 😄
I love to hear that my friend! Glad you enjoyed it.
That's perfect, you get to be on top of the things I may be late on.
Ohh nice, those are a reliable crop, a true permaculture edible
I planted my sun chokes last fall and are doing amazing I love them super tasty and well it is food forever
I also enjoy the longer videos. No need to follow the herd with short videos. Gardening requires patience anyway. I watch your videos instead of netflix when I'm going to bed. Thanks to you I have woodships in my garden now and a one month old urban food forest. Keep up the awesome work! Love from San Francisco
Do not worry about your videos getting too long. Your channel is the best reality videos going, and I'd rather see Tuck than a Kardashian.
I love your videos just as they are. They give me and my little Yorkie Tilly so many great ideas for our NC garden. You also inspire me to try new things that I might not have thought of otherwise. I am still learning about pests and pest control so I enjoy all your tips. Thank you!
I just wrapped up a 30 minute workout and you helped make it much more enjoyable. Thanks!
It still amazes me what a couple of weeks can do!!! Crazy growth!!! Love it!!
I like the longer video. Seeing everything in the food forest is cool.
Glad to hear that Marissa! Thanks for you’re input 🙏😁
Longer can be better.I take you with me to my forest and listen while I play and learn.God bless.
Love the longer videos, they allow you to see more of the food forest.
