I really didn’t want this video to end. It was so well put together and also very informative and inspiring. Once I will have cleaned the bamboo out of our front yard I will start foodscaping!
I had a large "flower" garden at the edge of my yard. Some neighbors asked why I wasn't growing food. But I was! I pointed out tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, and herbs. Then one day I was asked, "What's that beautiful plant?" It was lacinato kale!
Wow, ive been gardening for years but ive never known that mixing veggies n flowers have a name .sure enough this summer ill be starting. Thank you very much!
Great job on this one. Brie is so inspiring! We've had a traditional raised bed vegetable garden in our suburban backyard since we moved in, but over the last few years, we've been incorporating foodscaping throughout the backyard. We've added lots of strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, grapes, elderberries, gooseberries, etc. throughout the back yard (and a small orchard of fruit and nut trees along the side of our house), but this gives us a lot of great ideas for moving more edibles into the front yard too!!!! I agree that this is the best episode to date. So practical!
I love the idea of interplanting edibles in the landscape- but first test your soil for lead! Especially if you live in an older home. If you have a lot of lead in your soil, you will either need to stick to fruit producing shrubs and trees or grow your annual vegetables in raised beds.
Me too. About four years ago, I got fruit trees from Tree Folks. Of course they only give you a limited amount every year so between HEB and Home Depot I have the yard with most fruit trees in the neighborhood. Who would have known that this year I would harvest the biggest pomegranates, same size as the ones you buy from the store. On top of that I grew the most beautiful tomatoes
While turning my yard into a foodscape I discovered that my hostas are edible & tasty! You snip some tops in the spring (which bunnies had been doing anyway) and sautee them. Yum!
Recently discovered your show and website. The quality and breadth of information you provide in each episode is phenomenal. This one is really exciting and inspirational. Brie makes you want to get outside and start planting right away!!
Loved her book which I read a year ago. I have edibles on all four sides of my house. My soil is alkaline clay wich glues rocks and yes, boulders together. But all the amendments, drip line, and mulching we have done for the foundation plants seems to grow excellent veggies and fruit!
This has given me so many ideas for next season, I cannot wait to get started! Thanks...BEST EPISODE TO DATE👍🏼 your garden is beautiful and I’m looking forward to fooling my HOA...LOL😉🥬🧄🌽🍆🍅🌾🌻🌼🌸🥜
Just tremendous. This summer I planted romanesco cauliflower in some of my “flower” beds as well as in my traditional garden of raised beds. Guess which ones performed better? Yes! The flower bed plants! (Although I do think you have to think about what type of pests you’ll have to deal with - in this case cabbage moth that required covering the plants. But you look you see you try you learn. Rinse and repeat. 😁 Best episode of GaGW I’ve watched so far. Thanks. It’s no surprise that Brie the plant lady is showing up everywhere this year! She’s amazing!
Very interesting. I wish though she would have told us exactly what plants were planted in that last bed. I didn’t see any tomatoes and peppers. Don’t tell me that was the point. I get that. But it would be nice to see how they are hidden. Thanks for the video.
The way my HOA words it is “No vegetable gardens in the front yard”, I don’t have that, I have a mixed use garden, not a vegetable garden. They want to keep people from digging up their green sod lawns is the reason for it. I went round and round with my HOA over many issues and they finally gave up when I threatened to sue them for obvious discrimination. Told them I’d love to set a nationwide precedence with a lawsuit. The idea actually excited me, it scared them. I never get a letter now about having herbs or vegetables up front or too many containers, (they went from allowing 5 to allowing only 1 for me only) my garden is usually immaculate and the jewel of the neighborhood according to fellow neighbors. They knew they were fighting a losing battle. Friends fight your HOA’s! Do not let them rule what food you grow on your property. They used to say it was because they were worried about property value for everyone…well my property value has now tripled! Fight for your rights friends. And make it beautiful so they can’t resist you! 😊
I've been doing this for a long time and then I went back to separate areas. I don't like it, so I'm starting to plant together again. Very odd you can’t grow veggies in your front garden. That’s an American thing, in England you can grow whatever you want.
I never really thought this was a thing but we were thinking of start some of this next year in our front yard for herbs and some other smaller things. We already added some mint in by our front window. We were wondering if we need to worry about other plants which might have poisonous roots growing near veggies. I would think its a low risk.
I'm curious as to why the truck/jeep? in her garden bed..it can't be a parking spot and must have a deeper meaning...smart garden design/concept to hide veggies in your ornamentals
Colorado potato beetles love to eat all the leaves of potato plants. The overwinter in the soil too, so you will have them come back next season if you get an infestation of this beetle.
I have gardens in a corner of my landscaping because I have deer coming and other animals and can not have in front of my house because I will have to put 6Ft fence.
I have the same issue with deer and wild rabbits but I do grow herbs in many beds. Deer reliably don’t eat sage, thyme, oregano or basil. Oregano is particularly tough and flowers beautifully.
Edible landscapes are a thing everyone should do, just don’t douse it in chemicals, science, expensive additives. We just need Natural homemade compost and some urine.
I really didn’t want this video to end. It was so well put together and also very informative and inspiring. Once I will have cleaned the bamboo out of our front yard I will start foodscaping!
She is an inspiring lady, her passion is apparent.
And she is so healthy looking and beautiful. Probably from eating those vegetables
Love this episode and she was so inspiring and excited to be doing what she is doing. This is contagious.
I am so glad she mentioned Root knot nematodes. Can you please do a video on dealing with root knot nematodes.
I had a large "flower" garden at the edge of my yard. Some neighbors asked why I wasn't growing food. But I was! I pointed out tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, and herbs. Then one day I was asked, "What's that beautiful plant?" It was lacinato kale!
That is awesome! Well done. Mission accomplished! 🙌
I love this show.
I met Joe when the show moved to Georgia.
Nice fella
Wow, ive been gardening for years but ive never known that mixing veggies n flowers have a name .sure enough this summer ill be starting. Thank you very much!
Loved this video. Would love to see more in the future on mixing edibles and ornamentals! Thanks!
Not sure why this channel has such less subscribers n views. They are amazing videos. Thank You. Watching all the videos...
Thank you so much Brie Arthur for being with us in the Sustainable Gardening Revolution Summit yesterday Nov 18, 2020
LOVE THIS VIDEO!!!!! THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I AM WANTING TO DO THIS YEAR!!! THANK YOU!!!

Thank you! I love this episode. I’ve been considering foodscaping to be able to grow more food. Got lots of ideas from this video!
The blue lagoon got to go! What a lovely place......love 🥜

I didn't know this about the daikon radishes and tomatoes. I learned something new today! Thanks
Wow. She has a beautiful garden. Very inspiring.
Cool! I do the same things in my yard in Texas. Sweet potato, eggplant, kale, pomegranate, figs, persimmon work well in Texas. Still hate HOAs.
Me too. About four years ago, I got fruit trees from Tree Folks.

I had a bunch of sorghum and sunflowers self seed under a birdfeeder.
What a beautiful surprise!

I love her, specially at 18:05 ..... yes!!! DUHHHHH!!!!! Great inspiration.
This was a Great Show, thanks so much

Another great episode ! I learn something new from each one! Thank you!
Vole protection!! I needed this today!

Yes!!! You go, Grrl!
Love this show! Thank you for the knowledge and overall respect for the land and plants we rely on.

Love this video and all the videos, I learn so much. Meet great dedicated people who enjoy what they do.
I grew garlic for the first time last year and it was amazing! I now have a kitchen drawer full of garlic!!
Great show thanks folks ♥️🕊️👍= green
What a great idea. Now I want to add some cabbages and radishes to my front yard.
Great episode!!!!!
Diakon radish is good stir fried and in soups...yum.
Very interesting. I wish though she would have told us exactly what plants were planted in that last bed. I didn’t see any tomatoes and peppers. Don’t tell me that was the point. I get that. But it would be nice to see how they are hidden. Thanks for the video.
I thought the same thing, where are the tomatoes?
Thank you for easy to understand and use information about organic gardening! JLampl your approach and instruction is always pleasant to listen to.
BArthur your enthusiasum and knowledge are very much appreciated.
Thank you so much!!Together!!I SHOW before
Episode # 2 was fantastic!
This had inspired me to add my first grains to Grow in my foodscape
thanks guys for this uplifting vid! a great motivation to work on my own piece of gloriousness of a garden!
Absolutely fascinating. I love this video thank you for the information and all the great ideas. I can’t wait to do it.👍🏻
Just discovered this channel. This was an excellent episode!
What a wonderful space to grow in. I wonder what my harvests would look like with that much space. Great video!
Love it everyone should do this
Agreed. Wouldn’t that be fantastic! 👍
What a simple ingenious idea!
Great episode, Joe!
Thank u the world needs this

Great episode! 🥰
Excellent video. super inspiring!
Great concept!
I’m looking for this soil conditioner and can’t find it? Could you give us the name??
I never really thought this was a thing but we were thinking of start some of this next year in our front yard for herbs and some other smaller things. We already added some mint in by our front window. We were wondering if we need to worry about other plants which might have poisonous roots growing near veggies. I would think its a low risk.
Home owners associations sound completely insane. Wow.
Love this!
I love this! So encouraging! ☺️
The Susan Lucia of the gardening world😌
Thanks!
Thank you for this information I had problems with Nematodes
Where did you get your watering rose?
Great info, great video.
Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it!
I love that orange butterfly weed by the peanuts
I'm curious as to why the truck/jeep? in her garden bed..it can't be a parking spot and must have a deeper meaning...smart garden design/concept to hide veggies in your ornamentals
Thank you.
Colorado potato beetles love to eat all the leaves of potato plants. The overwinter in the soil too, so you will have them come back next season if you get an infestation of this beetle.
Hi I had some green and white bugs was all over the green where do they come from and what do I do for next time thank you

3-19-2022 I love food scaping. Threw the rules out in 1980s
joe you should get a co host you an her could go an do a travel show gardens worldwide an the perfect combo of cultural tricks from different regions?
The idea of foodscaping is awesome, though I was disappointed to see how many non-native ornamentals she has.
I’d love to live someplace like that but aren’t there snakes everywhere?
that kid aidan is sooo funny
What kind of blueberries does she grow?!
Clover is like raw peanuts to fix nitrogen in the soil for plants George Washington Carver i.e. soil depleting cotton-growing!
I thought growing flowers or ornamental plants would rob nutrients from crops if planted together ??
Good think
HOA's are so backward. Time to get them to move into this century.
Are there any plants you wouldn't plant if you have dogs?
Cringed at 8:14- him: ‘that’s a beautiful hole’!
I thought the same.....perhaps it's us & not him???
Solar/Wind e-generation for e-cars are sustainable transportation!
Blueberry plants need acidic soil.
Don’t know how they can make garlic from China the same size and shape.
I don't like the concept of HOAs. The thought of a Karen telling me what I can and can't do on my property, makes me sick
Exactly! And that “Karen” can penalize you too is beyond me.
Voles eat my potatoes
