Your system looks very interesting. Thanks.
Indeed! It's cold and getting colder! Interesting how few leaves are really needed to keep it above freezing. Thanks for another useful video, Sean!
George Cameo. lol
5:21 George is not happy he's being blamed
Could you speak about peaches, plums, and cherries in Kentucky? Where I am there is a struggle with those because of late frost.
Excellent quality content for beginners and seasoned permaculture enthusiasts.
Hey friend. Have you ever met Staphylea pinnata? It's a lovely nut tree with small nuts that taste like a mix of peas and hazelnuts. It's also called pistachio of the north. I got a lot of seeds buried in between my garlic patches, like you have taught me. I pick them from botanical gardens near me and noone knows what it is, so I am the only one to collect them together with Black Walnuts, Butternuts and A lot of delicious fruits that is totally unknown here in Denmark. I would love to send you seeds for free if you are interested. I don't think they would mind the continental climate you can offer. Btw. You are awesome. ❤
Like an old fashioned potato clamp.
I'll ask the stupid question. Why do you have to protect the seeds from freezing?
Your techniques used in your systems still amaze me. Simple nature based.😊
I seem to recall that in some prior years you did work with partially burying seed boxes. Am I misremembering, or was that something you tried and discovered that it isn't a good approach in your context?
Cool Video! Hope the seeds Stay Good!
<<Bows Low to spikes in hot and cold weather>> Nice way to deal what is offered off the land. I see a world where Dinosaurs wouldn't starve if the right amount of forestry design was in place. Plant trees like your life depends on it because it does. Thanks for given wind to my ⛵ ⛵
You had 404 (file not found) likes, so I fixed that. 😂👍
The way I see it, squirrels plant hundreds of Black Walnuts around our homestead every year, often only under a few inches of fungal duff, and we get MANY dozens of them popping up every year…….in fact, I usually don't plant many Black Walnuts in our nursery beds because the squirrels establish their own nurseries in all our gardens! They certainly seem to be able to tolerate some freezes, at least in Zone 6 Rhode Island.
I've kept black walnut/butternuts/ northen peacans inside a box in an unheated garage and it was -20 to -30s Celsius at some points outside near Ottawa Canada most of the winter.
