- This is the reason my garden is producing so well this year, and will continue to do so in the future. I am confident that once you grasp this simple gardening truth, it will allow you to grow more fruits and vegetables. I helped arrive at this gardening truth through the words of masanobu Fukuoka and the wisdom of many others. Gardening truths like most truths are simple but layered and deep, I hope I can help peel a few layers off the onion for you.

Man I would pay money to walk around your backyard. A true inspiration
I love how forgiving you are of tuck and other animal friends ruining your crops! Nature is nature let it grow!
it brings a lot of peace in the soul of how you handle it also .... not angry not trying to STOP them you actually feed them more so they dont need your food.... compassionate AF

I nce visited a strawberry pick yourself farm in Marlboro NJ. Mom asked how th r you keep the birds away. The lady said, "We plant enough for everybody".
I was thinking that. He helps me not get upset at my pup.

Oh James, your place is beautiful!
Where I am at which South west Texas and by now everything is done Really, plus how to prepare the dirt and etc. We grow okra by the bunch that's for sure lol. It's all good. We got two seasons a year.
Thank you for the info.!
Love it!
@rick smith ill shit in theirs
@rick smith go to hell. No place for that here

What a great world it would be if everyone had your mindset.
Totally agree!
So true!!
Absolutely!
if people start gardening, they will eventually come to this conclusion
scarcity is a fiction. Imagine if 25% of the people in James' neighborhood did this too. They could probably feed the town.
Hey dude. You don’t need bird feeders, you need bird a BATH. They don’t like to eat the tomatoes. They are just thirsty. Hope this helps! Your garden is amazing!
was just typing something similar.. it's been SO dry this year.
Yeah its true his garden is so amazing!
I thought I saw a bird bath at the start of the video...
I sooo love Tuck, he keeps me laugh and yes I often have to keep rewinding so as not to miss anything.
He has bird baths, from what I see.
Gardening is also more than growing food to me too. I consider it one of the best forms of therapy out there. This February, my younger brother Andrew died by suicide. He was my second brother to die that way. Gardening has really helped me cope with loosing both of my brothers.
Backyard Gardening & Cooking I am sorry for your loss. Working in the garden is a good place to be.
J Urana thanks for your condolences.
Sorry for your loss! It sure is peaceful working in the garden.
bonham728 thanks. It is.
My condolences friend... I know how it feels, been through that...just stay strong the pain will fade with time. It gets easier year by year....I’m sending my prayers🙏🏻
Gardening really does change your perspective.
Fllufd floidsas it sure does.
Agreed
Has you always looking forward to the future
Agreed! I think it's because we have been created by God to enjoy His wonderful creation.
There must be a reason why God could have put humanity anywhere, yet He chose the garden: "Then the Lord God took the man and put him into the garden of Eden to cultivate it and keep it." - Genesis 2:15
Gardening is so incredibly profound. Watching plants grow and eventually bear fruit, helps us to understand how Jesus Christ works in us to bear fruit of the spirit.
God bless you all
nic sim yet makes you live in the now!
Precious Tuck. He deserves the 1st pick of the harvest!💞
The part when you said, "It's everything I hoped it would be," made my heart smile so big. You really should be proud of what you've created; It's just wonderful.
I hope to get started on something similar someday soon. I'm actually in negotiations right now on a little quarter acre spot that has so much potential, and I'm so thankful for your having put so much into this channel. I've learned so incredibly much, and gleaned so much inspiration, and probably wouldn't have had the guts to go for it without you and a handful of other channels.
Thank you, James. You're changing lives. 🤗🤗🤗
I love watching James with his skills and positivity and Tuck, with his adorability. I do always wonder who is on the other side of the camera. Probably because my husband works in film and television and so I think that way. But I also understand and appreciate privacy and needing to keep some life separate from your channel. Thanks for the great viewing and advice!!!
Tuck is so sweet and sincere, he knows how important and special that garden is and takes it very seriously. 💜
This may be my first youtube comment ever! James you inspired me to start my garden last November and it has been an awesome adventure for my family and I! Love your positive vibes and updates. Hello from Georgia!
Your garden forests is amazing Those cucumber and tomatoes 🍅 are huge....well done your living my gardening goal, can’t wait to see my garden like that in a few years love your mindset 💚💪🏾👍🏾.
Gardening is not a job or a hobby, it's a philosophy, a way of life. This is what I get from your channel. Thank you. Much love to you, your forest and especially Tuck. X
Love that you mention one of the most memorable quotes by Masanobu Fukuoka, who was doing Permaculture before it was even a word!
I call him the grandfather of permaculture, and Bill Mollison the father
I've learned more because of you guyz! That was so amazing
@@jamesprigioni Do you can anything Or do you give it away to people
It's always a good day with one of these videos. Thanks James. P.S love tuck
Let's Gooo!! You're welcome my friend, and thank you for the kind words. I will give tuck some "good boy's" from you :)
I absolutely LOVED the quotes! DEFINITELY going to add them to my "quote book." It still amazes me just how much Mother Nature can inspire us beyond the garden. How many small things do we do in the garden that we can apply to the rest of our lives as well?!! I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis 6 years ago. I was able to convince my boyfriend (after MUCH debate!) to help me build 6 raised garden beds on his family's 100 acre farm. The peace and joy that I've been able to get from growing things (stress triggers my tremors), the teaching opportunities I've had with my sons, not to mention the physical labor to help keep me strong have all been blessings beyond the harvest we are just now starting to enjoy! (We just harvested our first 4 Serrano peppers tonight with more on the way! WOOHOO!!!) I just ordered seeds to start a "fall garden" in 2 beds that didn't go "as planned" and I can't WAIT to see what fall will have in store for us!
Keep up the AWESOME videos! You're enthusiasm is absolutely infectious!
P.S. You should get a jacket for Tuck that says, "Garden Security!" hehehe Then, when you take him out, you can claim that he's a "service dog!" (jk)
How did you learn all that you know about gardening? Trial and error? Classes? Natural knowledge? UA-cam? I’m SO impressed with your knowledge of so many different plants. I’ve learned so much from you, thank you!
james , the way you blend the task and skills of gardening and the mental growth and peace developed in the people who garden is so true and im glad you have this channel, keep going james , your passion and love for gardening ,people, pets and life are palpable. you show your vulnerability as a human as well, god bless you
I love your passion and your channel. You have been a huge inspiration to me. You are the reason my garden is doing so well this year!
👍
Those grapes are beautiful!!! I love the way they're hanging down there. I was always under the impression that grapes needed a ton of sun, so it was great seeing them grow so naturally. Also you got a MASSIVE harvest. Amazing job
Loved this episode. Absolutely adored the "you don't have a slug problem, you have a duck deficiency". lol!! Also, always adore Tuck!!
Wow man you are really embracing the natural balance of life
It's not what you get, it's what you become! Loved that!!!
Another great episode James Love the philosophy of gardening so many people miss out on it.
He's dangerous
Oh my god I love watching your garden name keep it up
When I learned to quieten my mind decades ago, I began to feel the garden- the plants, the native creatures, insects. There's an amazing energy I feel when I touch the soil. Nature speaks to us and teaches us when we put our love into the soil and treat her with respect.
**I give my chickens a purple cabbage to play with & eat. They left me the prettiest turquoise manure!!
Thanks for another superb video!!
You and MIgardener are the reason I went wood chip method this year.. and I've never had a better garden... Period!
I love me some Tuck. He doesn't wait for a soul, he tests everything! My pups don't like veg like my pitbull did before she passed. She was like Tuck.
I just love your garden. I think I could just sit out there all day and enjoy everything in the garden🥰
I honestly agree with the concept that as as the garden grows you essentially grow with it. Especially how we as human beings now go by everyday ignoring those simple things in life.
It was Masanobu Fukuoka's "One Straw Revolution" that got me interested in growing *with* nature, instead of fighting her. I didn't actually become a gardener, though, until I realized how outrageously priced leeks are (bad case of sticker shock for me!) and I thought I'd try to grow my own. Haven't looked back, and every growing season we do a bit more, grow a little more, grow at least one new variety of something.... Gardening is such a tonic and a balm to the spirit!
Thanks for posting your videos, James, and may your garden continue to bring you peace and joy.
Tiny Tuck looks like a darling plant at the start of this video...I would love to grow that certain plant..he certainly made my day 😊
Can I getta Woot! WOOT!.....The electric company brought me a load of wood chips!!! I am so excited 😁
That's awesome! Did you just call them and ask?
@@jakem9300 YES!
I was raised on a small Farm in Ohio, our Dad was a Nurseryman for 55 years at Spring Hill Nurseries. I was a Nurseryman for 20 years. First in Ohio then in California. At 65 years old I HAVE to grow things. It’s like it’s in my DNA. Cheers James. Love the Videos and of course Tuck.
I never thought about adding bird feeders to encourage them to stay out of the garden. Great idea!

Great work, man. I also enjoyed reading Fukuoka. Re-read the One Straw Revolution on a flight to Indonesia last year.
No. It's TUCK!!!!

Pro tip: you can watch series on kaldroStream. I've been using them for watching all kinds of movies recently.
@Ares Micah Yup, I have been watching on kaldroStream for since november myself =)
@Ares Micah Yup, I've been watching on kaldrostream for months myself :D
Your garden makes me feel so happy and inspires me! I just rent now but experimenting with growing what I can, it's so much fun learning. I totally agree with you about 'being a gardener' this is who I am, I feel like I'm learning from my garden and it's a lot more obvious now what things work and don't work and why! One day I will have a garden as large and diverse as yours that will totally sustain my household, I can't wait! Thank you!!!
Hi James, I have to say you are part of the reason I am inspired to start replanting my garden and turn it into a food forest. I live in sub-tropical Northern New South Wales, Australia. I live on a 125 Acre farm which we returned to rainforest 30 years ago, with very little land available for food production except for bush tucker (ever tasted Davison Plum Jam ?) . I do have a small citrus grove and a raised area which is above floods. Back in February this year I started a veggie garden again in hugel kutlture beds because my soil in that section is total clay. I have to say I have had brilliant results so far from this method. In the past I grew only in containers and have had various gardens which have been destroyed by neighbours cattle disappearing with snow peas on their horns up my drive way, flood and drought and total despair. You have shown me many ways I can rethink my approach with wood chip etc. Thanks to you and Tuck I am on my way to a "food forest paradise". Many thanks and blessings, Muffy from Oz.
I really like your philosophy on gardening. It’s way more than “just gardening”.
DAANG JAMES LOOK AT THE JUNGLE YOU'VE GOT IT'S TOTALLY AMAZING AND TUCKER THE PIRATE DOING ITS THING WHERE'S ME EYE PATCH😂 I'M GLAD I SUBSCRIBED TO YOUR CHANNEL A WHILE BACK LET'S DO THIS
Not gonna lie.....I'm jealous of that food forest 😂
It's my inspiration. :)
Meeee tooo
I have the land to do it. But my wife😒
@@tribulation138 does she not want one?
@@tribulation138 Women eat too, no? 😁 Just explain that you are feeling called to be a good steward with the land you've been blessed with, and be sure to throw her favorite foods in the mix.
Thanks again for a great video. When I see problems arising in the garden (or in life), I seek out solutions. They are my learning experiences, and I hope to share with others. Life is a learning experience. Never stop learning❣
You are a fountain of knowledge for all types of veggies and fruits. It's my third year growing, and i definitely agree, growing is much better.
Comments before watching: "Tuck, gotta get a Tuck for a successful garden." Lol
I’m elated to have found your channel. Thank you for sharing all your experiences (the good, the less good), energy and enthusiasm, knowledge and insights. As a complete newbie, I’m eating it up and am transitioning our old mini pasture into a food garden. This is through your influence! I was wondering if you would make a video based on your favourite gardening books and why they are your favourites. (Most inspiring, thought provoking, wisdoms, honest approaches, beginners guides, most useful and knowledgeable, basic “how to”, etc)
Garden goals!!!!!! Just returned home from vacation and I had a good harvest of cucumbers and tomatoes! Such a feeling to walk outside and pick your own food!! 🙌
I love how your dog helps with the gardening - it almost like he knows what he's doing!
very cool we are all learning every year.
Yup!
I'm inlove with cucumbers, my favorite. My eyes is turning to a heart shape,
interesting...
I originally came for the gardening knowledge, now I am just wondering how Tucks doing and the gardens just a bonus.
New gardener here, James.
Had 5 various hot pepper plants last year.
Saved seeds last year from store bought plants.
This year I decided to try starting from seed, for the first time, ever. (Only habaneros, only to make Hot stuff)
As you said, I was nervous, wasn’t sure how well it would work…
I trimmed it down to 24 amazing habanero plants.
Gardening is exciting when you decide it’s what you want to do. I probably check on my habanero plants 4 times a day 😂 remember, that’s all I have, is my 24 habanero plants, all together. If I had your garden, once a day would be plenty for me.
It’s exciting to know that you started it from seed, and nurture it to grow, and produce fruit.
And I’m still going to talk to my plants, because they’ve been flourishing.
Happy gardening, Bro.
Love the videos,
And give Tucker a pet from us!
Love your personal development and positive attitude. I’m a new veggie gardener and love learning from your experience. I used to live in nj so I’m partial to watching. 😇
Love your attitude! Love your spirit! Love your pups, Tuck!
Liking the new titles. Keep on, keeping on!
You are such an inspiration!
Thank you for sharing.
GOD is with you!
Thank you so much for your love of gardening you are a gift
It's not how much you harvest, but who you have become. Amazing.
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS another video!
Your garden results do look pretty amazing!! I love the confidence and positive attitude! also a huge fan of Masanobu Fukuoka, excellent quote about natural farming as the perfection of human beings. Good stuff man, happy gardening!
You are one of the #SonsOfAdam... You are not just tending the garden brotha' you are teaching life lessons for those who need a roadmap to success!!! You speak like a prophet!!! Be blessed...
You’re growing things I never thought you could in N.J.. I live on Long Island, so we probably live in the same gardening zone , which is 7. You inspire me to grow things I never thought I could. I should branch out a little more. I’m really impressed. Thanks, and keep those videos coming please.
Tuck!!!!! Love you two! ❤💕❤ thank you for all the info you share, James! You have helped me soooooo much! ❤
Thank you for the inspiration! Your food forest in incredible! A dream!
My little garden here in Northern NJ has been overwhelmed w cucumber beetles. All your cukes look amazing! I’m just going to try planting again. Problem turned into a solution!
THIS IS THE UA-cam CHANNEL I NEEDED ABOUT GARDENING!
Let’s Gooo!!!
This has to be one of my favorite videos. I love your gardening philosophy while you harvest throughout the video. Keep rocking brother.
I love your food forest. Interested in growing grapes. Do you have a more detailed video on proper planting location & how to choose varieties?
Every time you start a video with that Jersey Greeting my habitual response is "who is that guy picking a fight with me" then you talk about Gardening and I am reminded you are one of us (Gardener/homesteaders). That Jersey Body Language can be a bit aggressive but you are one cool dude and I love watching your videos, say Hi to Tuck for me.
John Liberty too aggressive for me. I find it immature and annoying, but I overlook it, as I do learn bits and pieces of gardening.
@@juneshannon8074 Its not a maturity thing, its a cultural thing. One of the reasons why I like this channel is because it gives me a chance to relate to someone from NJ. NJ Culture is different and I have struggled to get along with people from NJ because of it. I watch this video and I see I actually have a lot in common with someone from NJ now. I helps me to overcome any bigotry I have towards people of that culture.
Your videos are very inspirational. Your positive philosophy on gardening, and joy being a gardener really helps me in thinking about why and garden and how I should. Love Tuck as well!
Thank you for making your videos about gardening and ways to learn from you, your successes and failures. At this time, it's what I want to hear. Helps to take my mind of the current situations. Be safe and stay well, Catherine
we have to change the speed to .75 so we could actually hear you.. speedy gonzalez!!!
Cocaine!
Ha! I’m from jersey and always watch him 1.25 speed 😁
🤣
He talks so fast, I can barely understand him. I’m from Nashville & we talk slooooow. 😂
Joni Hughey , my coworker from California moved to Alabama. He said they speak super-slooowww !
Wow, that's deep. I thought, it was going to be wood chips. :).
Gotta keep you on your toes lol
Same!!! Lol
you are living my dream James , you are my inspiration , when i first saw you on youtube last year , i fell in love with the idea of food forest and i started saving money to buy a small land (about 1/4 of an acre) and i will definitely set up a food forest like you did. i am half way there on money :) wish me luck :)
Your doggy is cute and what I love about him is the way he harvest carrots for himself and enjoy that carrot like it's the last one he gonna get
I love it James! Keep up the good work. :)
Thanks Jerrad 😁 🙏
The size of those cuces omg I live watching this
Tuck will live forever! First organic dog I've ever seen!
Thanks James Prigioni! Your veggies and fruit trees are really producing with all of your loving care. Tuck has an amazing pallet..Everything about your show today was amazing.
Thank you so much for today's video James. Very meaningful! I do have a question. I normally practice companion planting and a bit of crop rotation. In a food forest with the woodchips building such rich soil do you think there is a need for crop rotation? For instance, would you plant your tomatoes in the same area as last year? I'm already taking notes and planning for next years perennial planting but want to keep space in mind for annuals. Thank you again for bringing so much to the table and such a thoughtful perspective to gardening! Love to Tuck!
James, Are you familiar with Baker Creek Rare Seeds? They are located in Mansfield, MO Check them out, if you haven't heard about them. Love Tuck!!
Yup, that's where I get a lot of my stuff Dina. Great suggestion!
Baker Creek is Awesome;!!
They have their own UA-cam channel as well. I find it quiet insightful! I have a handful of Favorites. James might be the top of the list tho!
To God be the glory. 🙏🏼
Love Tuck it is so great seeing him in the garden. Your videos are amazing and the beginning is just fantastic!!!!!!
If someone doesnt know what to do with a persimmon.... juice it and fill up ice cube trays..... they are amazing to throw into a smoothy later. Taste like a cross between a peach with honey. Lovely addition to a carrot/ginger based smoothy. And thank you James for the prior video on making a raised bed of wood pallets. I have save that one for reference in the future.
Always inspired by James' and Tuck's enthusiasm, practical advice, abundant harvests! Thank you!
Y'know I definitely have to agree with your first point about size of the plants and harvests doesn't really matter.
This is my first spring growing some tomatoes, zucchini, cucumber, and pepper from some seedlings that my aunt gave me.
It's been such an interesting process just watching them grow and learning about what it takes to take good care of them.
So much, that when we first started I told my sister that even if we didn't get any fruit, that it would still be an enjoyable experience keeping the plants alive and healthy.
Now, after continuing with that mindset, we've been getting awesome little tomatoes close to every week, and our zucchini is trying to grow 2 at the same time, for the first time that I've seen.
If you focus more of the plants themselves and care for them, the fruits and harvests will come. Put your energy into them, so they can produce for you!
IF JIMMY P'S FOOD FOREST GETS ANY MORE ABUNDANT THAN PEOPLE ARE GOING TO THINK HE'S IN FLORIDA!!!!!
Wow beautiful like'full my friend good whatching work 😁💪🤝
I love when he's dog is involved in gardening
The plants know how to grow , they have been doing it before we were around ,so its often a matter of staying out of their way and just seeing what assists them
tuck is the best!
Yes he is! I like to think I run the show, but Tuck knows he is in charge
I'm subscribed to your channel and LOVE it... Also Tuck. Sorry I'm not a commenter. But wanted to ask, sorry but I'm going deaf and you usually have captions. But didn't this time 😟... Your a great inspiration and hope someday (hopefully next year) I'll be able to garden. Always did love mother nature. Unfortunately I worked construction and loved it but seriously injured my back. I was constantly active when not working also, loved hiking, used to be in great shape. But since I messed up my back so badly it took away my livelihood and everything I love to do. I never sat down except to eat. I've spent the last 10 year's looking for a neurosurgeon but they're all afraid to touch me especially since I'm getting older. But I haven't given up hope... yet. I just hope I'm not to old to be able to have a life again by the time I do find a good surgeon! Give Tuck a hug for me, he's so friggin cute. And thank you for being an inspiration.
See, now this is why you're different. Your channel is far more than gardening. Plus, the fact that you're honest about the failures and missteps just seals the deal for me. Excellent work, as always!
So, who's the other half of the "we?". Can we learn about the camera person too? Do they help in the garden as well?
Tuck’s such a calm little dude. Too cute.
You have a precious dog. I have one like your dog and mine is smart and precious like yours. I love seeing your dog in the garden eating and pulling up his vegetables. He is so sweet. Your videos are really good. Thanks for sharing your expertise.
The birds are probably pecking your fruit and vegetables because they are thirsty. Put more bird baths around your garden to see if this helps. I love your channel. You inspired me to start my own edible food permiculture forest and it is doing so much better than my "traditional" gardens. Thanks!
James I have also had issues with chipmunks and birds. I am taking a page out of your book. I have found a bowl that I think will work well as a bird bath/watering bowl that should help them. I plan to put out a smaller bowl of water for my ENORMOUS chipmunk. Biggest one I've ever seen. He was trying to climb one of my cherry tomato plants this morning. I knocked on the kitchen window, hard, and scared him off. LOL
I love seeing you harvesting and Tuck enjoying the harvest.
The most Jersey intro Ill ever see in a gardening video! Bobby Bottle Service would be proud.
I agree when you planted some seeds its like you waiting for a present and happy to see the first shoot comes up.
Just found you and Tuk and I'm hooked. This is my second garden year and I'm learning so much!! I check my garden every morning and night it's weird but I do get that feeling of excitement and peace especially through the insanity of these times...
Can you put a net under the hazel nuts somewhere so the nuts fall into the harvest net instead of on the ground? It’s cool that you share with those little scamps, but they gotta share too!!🤪😘😂🐾🐾🙋♀️♥️🐿🐿🐿🐿🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻❣️
You are such a fresh air to listen to and learn from. Thank you. God is good.
