    Love the idea of a food forest! Great video.

      Thanks very much! I know what an amazing idea, there are some mature examples in the UK that you can just wonder round and eat?! :D Thanks Cheryl :)

    Hi Tommy...wow...have made a note of all the plants to buy and see I have written sea beet puppies so hopefully will be able to find these 🤣 Will garden centres have a lot of these plants? I am inspired all over again!

    • @tommydaviesx

      Wohoo! Yes hopefully they'll become available for sale more widely soon, lots of them are a bit fringe such that you've gotta search for them! I'd start with a google search and try independent homegrown sellers on ebay, they've got a lot of them.... Good luck!

    Great perennial area! I picked up a Taunton Dean kale at the Bristol seed swap!......I'm trying to keep it alive until it's properly rooted!

    • @tommydaviesx
      @tommydaviesx  2 роки тому

      Thank you! Ahh great, not far from where they're from! Yes, they root really easily and quickly from my experience so hope yours will too!

    Perennial tree cabbage would be great in your food forest.

    • @tommydaviesx
      @tommydaviesx  2 роки тому +1

      Definitely would I actually have a bed of perennial brassicas incl tree cabbage just a bit down the plot but maybe should take a cutting and stick another one in there... can never have enough brassicas!

    Nice one 👍 I never head of perennial leeks before?! Think I'll have to look into them 🙂

    • @tommydaviesx
      @tommydaviesx  2 роки тому

      Yeah I know amazing?! There are lots of types!! I've got a selection and have no idea which is which but amazing things!

  • @neeway1620
    @neeway1620 2 роки тому

    I'm surprised you didn't go for the classic Rhubarb or Raspberry. Interesting though. Just planted some Babbington leeks myself the other day.

    • @tommydaviesx
      @tommydaviesx  2 роки тому

      Yeah I've already got both of those tbh I probably could do with 1 Rhubarb plant but I've got 5 😂 too much rhubarb - and loads of Raspberries already 😂 But deffo would have them if not!

    What size plot is this,waiting for a new allotment..do folks grumble at food forestry on allotments.
    What's the usual large size 150sq or 250sq?

    • @tommydaviesx
      @tommydaviesx  2 роки тому

      Not sure I'm going to guess around 20m-30m x 6m-9m, something like that! No they dont as long as they are small trees they dont mind!!

    Brought some perennial kale,and managed to kill 6 plants,so restarting again,and the leeks…and maybe the running onions but shhhh!!!

    • @tommydaviesx
      @tommydaviesx  2 роки тому

      Haha how did you manage to kill the perennial kales?! In my experience they're super hardy! Pete let me send you a cutting in the post? One that will be impossible to kill!!
