I'm passionate about an approach to organic gardening that is frugal, easy, sustainable, and works with nature to achieve amazing results. My videos will help you grow more healthy organic fruits and vegetables, while working less and saving money. I don't push gardening products. I don't hype bogus "garden secrets". I provide evidence based strategies to help you grow a lot of food on a little land without spending much or working harder than you have to! - Навчання та стиль

Great collection. Several I'll be adding to my food forest project.
Awesome content, this is so helpful, I rewound about 10 times before I saw this.

How do you get the wine cap mushrooms to grow in the woodchips?
OYR Frugal & Sustainable Organic Gardening, good job. Thank you 😊
Thanks for always saying "in our zone 5 garden." Many UA-cam gardening channel don't do that, and it's so important for context.
You're welcome, Krista!
I appreciate that also. I consider you the most reliable U.S. west coast source for great gardening. I am in zone 8a, so behind you in starting, but I love your suggestions and examples. And most of your annuals and many perennials work for us also, in S. Oregon.
I’m in zone 4, so it’s pretty close :D
This is my ultimate goal to have a garden of mostly perennials. I am approaching 70 and I really appreciate this knowledge, thank you. 😊
I’m Thai being Asian, I’m so blown away with this amazing video. It’s like having heaven in your yard!!!!! I love to see people ultilize any ground area Around their living area. Who needs grocery store? 👍🙏😘❤️😍❤️❤️
3/2/22 I’m back on this wonderful channel AGAIN❤️👍
I agree!
@@lieblee1010 🤯
Mercy! I remember being able to get up and down like you do, about 40 years ago! Marvelous garden! Thanks for the ideas on perennials to start.
Now that I am getting older, its get's harder to plant a garden every year. I have wanted to surround the house with more perennials. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
My pleasure, Jen.
I'm getting older to and haven't any started planting anything,I just have a lots can foods and beans stored,I have to do something, ASAP.☮️💜
LOVE your straightforward, clear, logical, intentional (not rambling etc) presentation! Subscribed!
I REALLY appreciate you doing quick mentions of how to use each one!
That's probably my top most useful info since I'm pretty clueless about most and googling so many is overwhelming. But getting a general idea of their use makes everything much clearer and helps me steer toward other things to plant, not just tomatos.
Your voice is so soothing. You should have your own TV show.
Thanks!
agreed
This is better than TV! It's a free garden video library. Help spread the word by linking other budding gardeners to it.
Since English is my second language, I find your voice to be soothing too and easy to understand. Thanks for making this video !!!
You continue to amaze me with your organizational skills. The map you are providing for self sustainability is easy to read and well thought out. Thank you for sharing your love of gardening and inspiring so many.
Thanks! I'm glad you've found my videos helpful!
One yard at a time! You got me hooked on gardening a few years ago and now I'm helping my friends get into gardening. I'm showing them it doesn't have to be a lot of work. I have picked less than 10 weeds so far this year.
That's awesome, David! I'm glad you're spreading the word!
I've picked over 10,000
Yo, this is so chill. This guy is the chillest. I died when he caught the "culprit."
We moved into our new house and have a blank slate and many acres to work with. I find myself trying to figure out how to plant edible perennials in the bed’s closest to the house. This video has certainly encouraged and incentivized this activity. Thanks a bunch for all the work you put into creating this particular video.
This video is extremely helpful as we are zone 5. Just beginning to remove grass and replace it with fruit trees, food plants and xeriscape. Our city is very supportive even in the front yard. Thank you!
I'm glad it helped, Therese! Best wishes with your food forest.
Perennials are a must for an ageing gardener. While I love trying out new things, I love the perennials that just keep on giving. Thanks for the ideas, info and the tour. I really like the idea of chives in the front yard. So many people would just think it's a pretty plant. I had a neighbor mistake my garlic leaves for daffodil leaves. I guess the front flower bed was a good choice!
I couldn't agree more, Melanie! Yeah, we try to plant pretty edibles in the first year and mix them in with ornamentals to not attract too much negative attention from the neighbors. So far it's working!
Your videos are such a source of good information for somebody looking for sustainable perennial fruit and vegetable gardening.
I love perennials. They are so easy. One of our favorites is sea kale
Me too!
This is the fourth time I have watched this video over the past year. It still makes me smile.
You've inspired me! I've just got a new allotment that already has apple trees, plums, black berries, currants, cherry and Hazel. I've just planted some Welsh onions, chives and garlic chives. Strawberry, blueberry and raspberry are next on my list
We just moved and I have to start over with gardening. Love you channel and you have really amazing ideas. I will be getting my greenhouse again soon. Being zone 5 all the same plants will work!!
Thanks Carri! Best wishes with your new garden!
I just found this video & am very grateful for it! We, too, live in zone 5. I'm on my way to creating a "food forest", so your video was extremely helpful! I've subscribed & am hoping to learn lots more from you!
The Global Inventory of Perennial Vegetables link is Incredible.....I want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart for that link and all the hard work you put into making all these incredible gardening videos .,,,Your an amazing individual and I'm honored to be a subscriber to your ONE Yard Revolution channel..
Thank you for your kind words. I'm glad the inventory was helpful.
We can cook so much with all this paradise
One day I hope to achieve such a fine food forest.
HI Patrick. What a great video. It is so surprising and encouraging to see all that you grow in your garden. I also love that you share the different, new to many, types of plants that you grow. Thanks for sharing. Happy Gardening! Catherine
Thanks, Catherine!
thanks for mentioning your grow zone...

Hi Patrick, for a few years now I've really enjoyed your content and the relaxed delivery of the advice and guidance you share. Thank you.
Re the Tree Collard's perennial credentials in zone 5, living as I do in the UK (zone 8: wet, mainly cold and overcast etc) I was skeptical I could grow them as a perennial and found no online sources of anybody who had tried. However, I found a perennial Kale called "Taunton
Dean" which looks remarkably similar to the Tree Collard with resembling charactoristics such as turning purple in colder weather and growing tall like a tree or bushy dependant on how they are trained.
Like the Tree Collard the Taunton Dean also grows via cuttings. I've read that they produce for over 5 years and some produce for 8+ years.
I've had my plants for 2 years now and they've recently survived temperatures of -8 without any protection. I'm taking cuttings later this year and was wondering if you would like some?
Hi Pat! Thanks for letting me know about Taunton Deane kale! I looked at some pictures online. Wow, they really look like small trees!
Inspiring to see your use of perennials!
Some of the best 11 minutes on UA-cam.
This might be the best video for experienced home gardeners I've ever watched. 2 thumbs up. :-)
Cheers
Jerry in Charlotte (zone 7 and 3/4)
PS....Oscar rocks!
Thanks Jerry!
Jerry Palmroos I agree Jerry.
Awesome you encourage me each time i watch you Patrick blessing to you and the family
Thanks, Linda!
Nice! I actually tried dropping some dandelion seeds into my garden last year....felt kind of funny since I used to just try and kill them. Nice to see someone else appreciating them
You can make coffee
@@BluezoneCostaRicakitchen they're really healthy too.
What a beautiful and productive garden! 🌸🌱🌱🌱🌱🌿
Thank you for inspiring us. Just got done sauteing dandelion leaf, chickweed, spinach, Japanese red mustard and kale. Butter, salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper and tumeric. Egg on top. No fruit yet. :0)
That's sounds yummy, Lark! Your garden is an inspiration as well.
OneYardRevolution | Frugal & Sustainable Organic Gardening nnnnnn
Thank you! Your garden is an inspiration. Thanks for all of the useful info!
Thanks!
One, watch for the drosofila (dro-sof-ila) on your soft fruits. This tiny fly inserts it's egg into the fruit then the maggot grows and turns the berry to mush. Got my blueberries two years ago. Make a trap from a pop bottle with 3/16" holes and 1-1/2" of apple cider vinegar. This will work with your IPM for control. Extension service can tell you if it's in your area. Nice job!!
Thanks for the tip!
I’m Montagnard indigenous just like native America, aboriginal Australia, I live in North Carolina in small apartment o plants spring onion, bitter melon , kale all year around.
Im trying to grow food within my lounge xD
An interesting and well-crafted video. Thanks. Best wishes from New Zealand.
Thanks, Stephen!
Love it that you count dandelion as a perennial. I've got lots of those, much to the discontent of my neighbours! Great to see Oscar in on the action again, guess he's got more important stuff to do recently than be in youtube :-)
Thanks, Helle! Yeah, we love dandelions. We harvest them every month of the year. Oscar only works when it's cool outside.
What an Awesome garden! Thanks for the tour. Your idea of raising perennials is so helpful. As I age I'm finding I need to enjoy some new ideas for food growing.
Thanks, Barbara! I'm glad the video was helpful.
I always enjoy seeing the evolution of your garden. I'm focusing more on tropical perennials this year like yacon, passionfruit, dragonfruit, etc. in the hopes of a mostly hands off garden.
Thanks! I envy all the wonderful perennials that can be grown in warmer climates.
For a second I thought this was a PBS special on UA-cam.
Heritage raspberries grow like crazy and spread. I started with 5 plants and now have a 30 ft hedge that is 4 ft wide. But well worth it !
I'm glad you like your Heritage Raspberries! It sounds like I'll have my work cut out for me keeping them in a 9 sq ft area. 😀
I love the food forest direction you are going. Currant and jostaberries are nice shrubs for the front yard too. Our garden is a hybrid like yours. The recent emerald ash borer invasion took 3, 65ft trees from our front yard so I am edibly relandscaping the front. I wish I could post a photo. Thanks for the inspiration. I sometimes call you the Mister Rogers of my you tube university teachers. That's a compliment I loved Fred Rogers.
Thanks for the compliment! I'd love to see a picture! You can share it on my FB page: facebook.com/oneyardrevolution/
Big Flatso Minxy That’s just perfect. 😎
Again a wonderful tour and video of your garden. One idea for you to keep tree collard through the zone 5 winter would be to run chirstmas lights on the truly cold days. When we have a frost here in LeHigh Acres, Fl I tend to run chirstmas lights and cover the plants. I have never lost a plant yet for the veggies or fruits. It is amazing what a few lights can do to raise the temp in a hoop house or tunnels. Again thank you for your videos.
Thanks, Anthonie! That would definitely help, but I'll probably just prune the plants back so they're smaller and use a 3rd layer of cover.
Well if that dont work add a string of the christmas lights. That should bring the temp up for the few hours it is near freezing or below. Again thank you for these videos. I enjoy them very much.
another trick is stick a reasonably large tank of water in the covered zone (mass btu storage)
Very true. Our hoop house is so small, though, that we'd lose a significant portion of our growing space to accommodate a tank large enough to make a difference.
That would be incandescent globes, not LEDs, I guess. You'd get better energy efficiency if you used heat lamp globes like are used for chick raising - less energy wasted in visible light.
Beautiful! and Inspiring! Oh the Cardinal is singing for you at the Sunchokes digging.
Thanks, Anna! It's so nice to hear the birds singing again.
Thank you for concisely sharing your knowledge about zone 5 gardening!
You're welcome, Arlene!
The jungle of food you're sitting next to at 05:55 is just stunning! Could win a gold medal at an ornamental garden show :o
Wow! Thanks! I'm glad all that chaos also looks good. 😀
I’m in the same hardiness zone and your video was super helpful and informative! Thanks for sharing
Man I can not wait until I have my own property to fill with perennials. One day I hope to grow my own asparagus, figs, blueberries and whatever else my zone will allow. Very professional vid. Thanks
Awesome!!! These plants grow on their own. What a time saver.
Wonderful work there! It's my goal, too - essentially trying to reach the point when I'm 90 I can hobble to the door and lob a seed mix in the general direction and that will be work done... No place for plants that have to be babied along all season.
Thanks! I hope to be doing the same when I'm 90. 🙂 Best wishes with your food forest!
Perma Pen UK At nearing 81, I can be a little more organizes Ryan you, but I admire your tenacity.
Maybee I missed it, but adding2 or 3 rhubarb plants will keep you going for years.
Rhubarb takes up a lot of room in a small garden
No rhubarb? I enjoy your videos and I really appreciate your notes because they include the plant names and their corresponding time locations on the video.
Thanks, Paula! For some reason, rhubarb doesn't want to grow in our garden. I've planted crowns on a couple occasions and they rotted in the soil. I might try transplanting a plant next time.
great video! its so helpful to see gardens in these colder zones.
My husband and I just watched a number of your videos and got inspired! :) we’re also in Chicagoland and it’s so neat to see your backyard and front one filled with garden plants especially the many perennials. Thank you!! Last year we went to VidCon. Have you guys been to it?
Thanks! I'm glad my videos have helped. I haven't been to VidCon yet.
I didn't even know that what I was doing was called a "food forest". Garlic chives are really invasive in my garden; and once their root mass matures you can break a shovel trying to get them out! I'm in just a slightly colder zone 5 and have most of what you showed. Some other perennials I have in my garden are service berries (taste like mild blue berries), morel mushrooms (just got lucky), a very invasive creeping bellflower, daylilies, mulberry, chestnut crab, bunching onions, hardy kiwi (3 years old but has not fruited yet), currants, creeping thyme, and mullein (for tea). I'm always looking for more perennials to plant since it really reduces the amount of work you have to do!
Black raspberries don't send out runners, so they are less work than reds. (We have both.) Several bushes of black raspberries were growing around our walnut tree when we bought the house. I am not sure what variety they are. They fruit in late June- mid July and grow in a vase shape, without needing staking. Prune to 5-6' and prune laterals at 8-10 inches.
Our Heritage red raspberries give 2 crops each year, but have imperial ambitions. They get floppy if you allow them to grow more than 4' high, so we coral them between parallel rows of wires 3', 4', and 5' high, and we use a rubbery soft wire to tie the canes to the wires. That makes a V formation. After bearing the summer crop, the canes should be cut to the ground, allowing the new canes with the fall crop to shoot up. Since they will climb to 7', and only bear on the tip, prune the new canes to 3' around the summer solstice. Those canes will put out 2 new leaders. Once the summer crop is done, those new canes can be tied into the V formation.
The only other thing you need to do is lay down an inch of compost each fall and water if rain is less than 1"/week. We run pavers alongside the beds, but you could just mow down canes that escape the bed. Most of the time, we can find folks who are happy to dig their own raspberry bushes April - May or in Sept.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO. I have searched for a long time for this information and came up on this one. I also live in zone five and I've been wanting to start a garden just like yours for a while now, I just wasn't getting the right information to do so. Thanks again and KEEP INSPIRING US 🌱🌿🍓🍇🌺
You're welcome, Deneen! I'm glad it was helpful.
You are a smart gardener. I aspire to be one. With a full time job and a young family, I can't give much time for gardening, but I plan to plant at least one perineal each year. Your videos are really helpful. Thank you. I would love to see a growing guide for Asparagus.
Thanks! That's a great approach to take. Before you know it, you'll have a garden full of perennials!
Namrata Rane Namatrz... just Google, “ growing asparagus. I put my first bed in just today.
Kids should learn about planting fruit trees in school, and bring one or two cuttings home to plant a new tree every year. Years later, every family has food sustainability.
Such a wonderful video and garden. I know I'm repeat myself in every comment, but I'm in awe. You are such an inspiration!
Thanks! That's very nice of you to say.
This was a wonderful video. I learned a lot. You introduced me to a lot of perennials that have never heard of. I'm sad you don't make videos anymore. Thank you
Great list, and just what I was looking for! But surprised you didn't include Rhubarb, which is grown widely here in zone 5 mountain Wyoming.
Thank you for posting these videos. Husband and I have had a large garden for 10 years so we know what's involved. But with your videos I feel like I'm learning from a gardener who has lifetimes of experience. So, I'm going to take the cue on this Perennial video and go for it. Thanks!
Thanks Jamie! I'm glad you've found my videos helpful.
Thank you for this very informative video! It's very considerate that you mentioned your zone as well as put timestamps for every plant! Your garden is seriously impressive and inspiring. Can you please tell us how you deal with typical small animals eating your berries and small fruits? Like birds, squirrels, and raccoons and opossums at night.
I think we are going down the same road. I am gradually changing over to perennials. I already have a small forest garden area on the lottie which seems to send my neighbour's into a spin. However I am harvesting in Spring with chives and King Henry and they are doing their digging thing in rows. The garden is going the same way and the washing line being sacrificed for a small chicken ark. If you can't eat it then it becomes sacrificial to the cause. Airier on the decking will do. Lawn down to a few yards. If the garden was bigger I'd have trees but it's tiny in comparison to yours. I might start looking at tiny apple trees I can train as live fencing around the beds. I've seen it done and you can get spectacular results.
It's funny that your lottie neighbors are still "adjusting" to your methods. You'd think they'd see you harvesting while they're digging and think "hmmmm.... maybe she's onto something!". LOL
Awesome. That's a lot of food Patrick, but i think Oscar wants to be the star of your garden : )
Thanks! I'm just grateful that Oscar lets me appear on his show. 😀
Thank you! We are working on our perennial food garden in our Arizona zone 9b yard. I feel like we are doing everything backwards but it will all work out in the end. Thanks for the info!
It's looking great in your garden. Loving all the perennials. We are replanting a lot of our perennials lost during our long drought. Miss my French Sorrel and lovage and rhubarb. Our walking onions were too hot due to our dry climate, so I'm growing bunching onions instead. We love our Jerusalem artichokes. I never have luck with blueberries, but am trying again. Strawberries doing well. We have numerous perennial herbs. Thanks for the video
Thanks, Shannon! Those are some great edible perennials. Best wishes replanting your perennial garden.
I don't know where you are, but there are many strains of blueberries with WILDLY different needs. They generally want acid soil pH 5.0 or lower. You might find blackberries much easier.
Try growing rhubarb and french sorrel where they will get afternoon shade.
Tom Landon we’ve grown blackberries and raspberries. They only last about 3 years as we don’t get enough chill hours to sustain them for long. I may replant more soon. We are zone 8b, arid with 7.5pH.
I'll soon move in to my first place with a garden and I can't wait to have some veggies :) I really enjoy your videos, they're very educational! Thank you for putting in the time and effort!
this video is a good one. I have watched it several times and each time something new catches my eye...
Thanks! I'm glad it has been helpful.
To sow, my destination! God bless the seeds!
I learn so much from you! Thanks again for another GREAT video!
You're welcome!
OneYardRevolution | Frugal & Sustainable Organic Gardening HBO
looking good, we have transitioned our whole growing method and are underway now from scratch. thanks for the post
Thanks! I'll stop by soon to check out what you guys are doing.
OneYardRevolution | Frugal & Sustainable Organic Gardening if I can ask, what state are you in?
OFF GRID with DOUG & STACY Illinois (He mentions he lives in Chicago zone 5)
he usually seems to be in a sober state... but when he is digging up the fugitive sunchokes in this video he may be a little drunk???
Hey I follow you guys and have learned so much from you Doug and Stacey! I see you learned 6 years ago the same way I am learning. LOTS of Gardening videos on you tube! I need more perineals in zone 8b. Learning all kinds of foods I have never even heard of. Not in Big Box stores, where I shopped all my 50 years of life. No more. Loving the new adventure of trying new things!
If you're going to introduce Sunchokes to your garden and don't want them to eventually take over (they WILL overrun a garden in short time) a good idea would be to use large plastic storage bins. Cut the bottoms out and bury them just below surface and plant Suchokes within their boundaries. You could utilize multiple bins for a large Sunchoke patch. This prevents the super aggressive and hyper resilient runner roots from escaping your garden boundaries and sprouting new plants where you don't want them. Once they start doing that... you've got a Sunchoke situation on your hands... for long time. You'll spend hours digging them out, swear you got each one, only to find out you were very wrong about a week or so later if even that long. Small pieces of root sprouts new plant. Contain it from the start and save yourself the headache... well, unless of course you WANT a Sunchoke farm.
With all the looming predicted food shortages I planted sunchoke as a backup plan. I did put them on the side yard where I usually struggle with weeds and they are doing great! I am happy to know they are there. Thank you for your suggestion/.
I’m back referring to this list trying to get more going in my yard. Your videos are excellent.
Thanks Patrick for not only sharing your knowledge but also listing the names and video time hack in the info! Awesome and extremely helpful
Thanks!
Thank you for all these great ideas!
Extremely inspirational! Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for the video and the global list, that is a great list. i have now 280 perennial vegetables and fruits but already have a shopping list for some more from that global list. thanks for sharing!
That is a nice collection of edible garden perennials, for sure! You've done an impressive job integrating them in your 700 square feet. Together, they make a diverse collection of food plants - much greater than most yards. Sunchokes are high on my list of recommendations for people getting started - they are so reliably productive. And Egyptian walking onions are so much fun to have around. Happy gardening and enjoy relaxing while those perennials do the work! ; )
Thanks so much! It has been a fun process expanding the garden over the years to include more edible perennials. Yeah, sunchokes are a lot of fun to grow. Happy gardening!
Thank you fir your contributions! 😊
This is a great video and thanks for posting all the plants shown in the vid. Very helpful!
Another great video Patrick. I am working towards emulating much of what you have planted with some adaptations for Zone 7.
I would love to see a video on getting the seemingly haphazard mushrooms going without plugging logs.
Thanks! We spread sawdust/wood chip spawn on the mulch under our blackberries. This is where we got the spawn: www.fungi.com/product-detail/product/stropharia-wood-chip-spawn.html Best wishes with your garden!
Nice tour - plan to plant a couple of blueberry plants tomorrow myself.
Thanks, Andrew! Happy planting!
And then there's my other plants.
moved onto a new home last year in a new zone, going perennial and perma to start it off, should be new and exciting.
Best wishes with your new garden, Carla!
I can't wait to have such beautiful garden like yours.
Thank you! I have been searching for French Sorrel for a number of years now but didn't know what it was called and couldn't find it until watching your video!
Just found you and exactly what I've been looking for. Liked, subbed and shared. Thank you for sharing this invaluable information. Much needed and greatly appreciated 💖 🙏
Wow wow and wow! So much yummy edible plants! Love it! I need to find that Egyptian walking onion! Thanks for sharing
Thanks so much for the useful information. I've been looking for lists of perennials I might add to my zone 7 food forest in-the-making. I'm copying your list. May you have continued success in your edible garden paradise!
Thank you so much for this video and the document you made available on perennials. It is time saving and encouraging
This was an excellent video. Very detailed.
Thanks for the video, your yard is inspiring!
Thanks for all the great info!!
I like adding perennial vegetables and fruits to my own garden (as Scottish weather can be a little severe on traditional types of annual veggies). I recently found Thick-Leaved Dandelion for sale from a British seed merchant, so look forward to seeing how that compares to wild type.
I have 3 Honeyberries that fruited for the first time last year, but they don't ripen well in Scotland. They actually tasted so disgusting even the birds didn't want them.
I have grown a white strawberry from seed. The fruits are tiny but have a concentrated taste, making them better for cooking - and the birds just walk past them every time. Even mice and slugs miss them.
I have a lot of the same veggies as here, with the addition of Alexanders (which you need space for - but makes a lovely architectural plant into the bargain), Welsh onions, Earth nut and Pig nut.
Addicted to my garden, I need help
I grow. Blueberry(40 bushes), 5 kinds raspberry(100 canes), honey berry, Aronia, goji, saskatoon berry, tomato, sugar snap, watermelon, pumpkin, corn, sweet pepper, garlic, onion, cantaloupe, 5 grape vines, mint, chives, sage, rosemary, potatoes, gourd, fava bean, Lima bean, parsley, soybean, spinach, lettuce, Brussel sprouts, cherry, peach, apple trees.much more but you get it, I love to garden.
Let us see!
This is a wonderful garden tour. Thank you. I subscribed to this awesome channel!!
My pups love asparagus. They know its what grows best in my garden.
A very inspirational video. I have a garden similar size to yours in Scotland. It is a patch of lawn with a privet hedge with some hawthorn and elderberry in it that runs down one side of. I intend to put a fence up that faces south west that I can grow espaliered trees along. I have been looking at forest garden ideas and have been searching for someone who has a similar size piece of land. Thank you both for documenting your achievements. I look forward to browsing through your videos.
Thank you! Best wishes with your emerging food forest!
perfect time for this. I will be heading out the door to our local garden shop to pick up a few plants and was hoping to find a few perennials that might fit the garden. Looking at a few berry bushes for sure. There are a few pick your own strawberry places and we have a mess of wild raspberry patches. So maybe blueberry and something that isn't common??? blueberry's are like gold in this neck of the woods as they are all wild!!
Blueberries are a great choice! They like acidic soil. We use elemental sulfur to keep the pH down in the blueberry bed.
