That clover looked lush. Such a good plant. Question...do you puncture the cardboard to allow the roots to grow through? I'm interested in doing more with no dig and it always says prepare the beds in the autumn so the cardboard rots by planting season. But of course I'm not that organised!
Clovers gone crazy with the mild winter and mega rains! Yes puncture to plant through. If you water first it's generally quite soft and easy to plant through 🌿🌱 I really do love no dig sure you'll be the same once you try it 👌🌱
It's all coming along so beautifully! London is still coolish & mostly rain after maybe 3 days of upper teens.- jealous of your strawberries! Mine are struggling to put on any size let alone ripen. Yours look delish
I'm interested to know if you've studied the market for what you intend producing? Fruit and vegetables are abundantly available here, the majority of people grow their own,or have family who do. A few years ago I was growing and selling herbs and plants, a very difficult market,as the locals either already had or were not interested in trying new ones. Very difficult to get anyone to pay enough to make the effort worthwhile. Then other things took over,so I stopped at least for now. Also how remote are you? Do you have potential customers close enough?
Good question, tbh we've hijacked the, style of growing and will be growing our own food in the market garden. In the nursery we're growing edimental vege so perennial food that is not easy to obtain here but in demand. We tested the theory at a plant market and sold out.... So things like yakon, fartichoke Canna edulis, perennial onions etc etc as you're right common vegetables are abundant and for sale/available everywhere.
We're remote but also only 25 minutes from Castelo. I think most of our market is Immigrants and permaculturists, bio/organic gardeners ai dining to be more self sufficient in the varieties of food they grow. Perennial are amazing as harvest for ever in principle 🙏🌱
@TheWildlandsGarden I found the expats were the worst! Always wanted everything for nothing or at least considerably less than the price I asked,believe me my prices were good! I wish you guys the best of luck,good that you at least have a larger town nearby.
@TheWildlandsGarden don't ger me wrong,I had a good bunch of returning customers for the first couple of years, but then ofcourse,they had all the plants they needed for the time being so spent less and less..was rare for any visitors to leave with nothing though 😆
@TheWildlandsGarden yes there is definately a market for perennial veggies..I bought some from you guys,or at least I think it was from you? Hard to keep track when using messenger, if you posted yakon, artichoke etc to somewhere near Chamusca recently that was me 😆 if not it was one of your competitors! Which reminds me,I'm rehoming a load of pots in my next video..might be useful to you,if you ever travel down this way. Hopefully uploading that tonight/tomorrow on Embrace the chaos Portugal.
Your gardens are quite beautiful, especially the shots from the drone.😊🇨🇦
Aw that's, so very kind of you. We must get round to filming a proper garden tour 🌱 are you gardening in Canada?
Just a small patio area. There's not enough space for more.😊
Lovely though I bet always, amazing how great a little patio can look and feel 🌱
Fab video, you’ve both worked so hard, the gardens are beautiful
Thanks so much! 😊 How's yours going?
