In this video I show you everything that I am growing to create edible living privacy fence 🌱
Not everything has made it, & that’s okay. some of the things that are growing I will use as chop and drop. with a cassava, I will be propagating them for spaces that are in this living fence that have empty spots in them 🦋
I hope this video encourages you to go plant something edible in your yard 🌻

[Music] So, we’re just going to take a look today at the burm that I planted or that I made around the edge of my house. See what’s happening here. I had garlic growing here, but it didn’t make it. But this pigeon pee is doing great. Um, the grass is taking over. I have oak trees growing. I have vines growing. I have all kinds of stuff growing that I don’t know what it is. But I also have this pigeon pee. I mean, nope. This is a plantain that fixes nitrogen. And I have another little pigeon pee. More nitrogen fixing things. Pigeon peas. We’ve got sugar cane. We’ve got pigeon peas, turmeric, turmeric. And in here I planted a little sinom cherry seed and it’s growing. More turmeric. This is blue turmeric. I like the blue turmeric. Um not sure what this might be. This is another som cherry. It’s my mommy. I planted some seed. We have a olive tree and more blue turmeric. Sweet potato vines. Another um sugar cane. Blue turmeric. Sweet potato vine. A lot of blue turmeric. Um, this is my ice cream bean tree. Oh, yes. I can’t wait to try this one. It’s going to be one of my favorite trees. I can already tell from watching um Emmanuel on um Ultimate Gardening. Yeah, he’s just starting to eat his, too. Look, look, look. New growth. Yay. So, this is my privacy hedge. You know, it’s what I’m trying to go for here. Some worked and some didn’t. But that’s okay. The stuff that didn’t work, I have things now that I’m getting smarter and getting more educated about how to do this thing, I have other things I can plant there. So, this is the ice cream bean tree. And you see some of this turmeric is doing way better than others, but just give it time. This one is a white, but it’s kind of a pinkish pearl looking when it comes out. It’s a Turks cap. And then this is some more um pigeon pee and turmeric and pigeon pee. But you can see how I’m trying to make the hedge in the front yard. That’s where I’m going with my burm. And I got to stay because the county, you know, I’m not in the city, but I’m in the county. So, I’ve got these things right here that I put up, these trelluses right here, and they’re going to have blackberries growing on them. This one’s kind of Look, it’s kind of growing like a little heart. I bring that one up and make it go that way. It can look like a heart. That would be cool. More of these hitchhikers, guys. For some reason, they’re good for your yard. I think it’s for the nitrogen. I’m not sure what else. Look it up. This is my grandson. I call him number one. He’s my first grandson. This is his little tree. This is a blood orange tree. Can’t wait for the fruit to come on that. This is sticks I put in the ground because I put something in Oh, I put some ginger in there. I put ginger in those spots. So, I just kind of put like little sticks so I know that there’s something planted there. Um, more pigeon peas, more blue turmeric and more of these plantains and more of those over here that stick to you. These I’m not sure what they are, but um they’re growing everywhere and I think they are from a package of seeds that I threw out to just see what they would do. This is a mango seed I stuck in here. This one is an emperor lei tree and it’s right next to another blue turmeric. And let’s see what else we got in here. Sweet potatoes. Um, this big old tree. Look how big that one’s gotten. Y’all remember in the beginning I planted a row of moringa, but this one is the only one that made it. So, I’ll be propagating from this one and little banana tree that I just put here because I had it growing. I’ll show you that one. That’s just that’s crazy what’s going on over there because this big tall banana tree came from the same place and same time as this one did and the other ones. But this is why I’ve transplanted this one because I see where things are going to be doing better. That’s a curry tree. And look, carrots. Look, see my carrots are still growing. I’m still harvesting some carrots in here. I just kind of broadcasted them throughout. But my CIO spinach, look how yellow it is. That’s how much rain that we’ve had. So, I need to get some good fertilizer on here. Here I’ve got um my burgundy okra. And remember, this is just all within my my burm that I’m trying to do to make kind of like privacy. You know what I mean? Like this is yuka and this is from when I have yuka over here on the house and I chopped them down last year and I laid them throughout. And so guess what? That’s what these are from. These the all these yukas are from that. So those were free yuka. Look, that’s yuka. And what else do we have in here? Look, there’s another um mango tree. Um what else is in here? We got other things growing. This is a malberry tree. Malberry tree. Um more carrots and stuff down here. I think that’s a kale of some sort that just went to bloom. Another olive tree is right here. All kinds of sweet potato vines growing. And then right here I have my my um oh what is it? Butterfly pee. Yes. On the trellis is there. And just more yuka. More sweet potato. There’s a another um seed that I planted. Look. See these two I planted too close together. I planted I planted this one out and then before this one popped up, I was like had I had another mango seed. So I was like, “Oh, that’ll be a cool place for a mango.” Obviously, there was already one here. But look, my sweet potato vine is growing straight up that sucker. And those blue butterfly pee are moving far from the trellis where I have had it originally, which I don’t care cuz it’s great ground cover. This right here, little tree coming up right here. That is a Let’s see it. A zapadilla morano. It’s growing really well there. Yeah. Here’s a banana tree that was the original that had pups from these. Well, there was Yeah, it had a little pup in it. So, I took it out of the container and I put it in the ground, but I put them in different spots. And this one is apparently doing the best. But, you know, all kinds of cool little things growing, even if it is a weed. I don’t know. This kind of reminds me of something that would be like a nitrogen fixer. It looks like it’ be in that family. Like, those instincts just kind of tell me sometimes to leave things alone. Just like these sticker things. I know that they have a purpose in here as well. You guys will have to look that up. I’m going to show you this cassava. Look how pretty this cassava is. Just look at the the colors that are in it. It reminds me of Christmas. Aren’t those just pretty? And they make a great hedge, y’all. Look at that. I want a privacy fence because I’m still a neighborly kind of person, so I don’t want to like shut people out. I actually want them to come eat stuff in my yard with me. And these are the okra that I’m letting go to seed so I can get some seeds. Another okra there. Here’s the sugar apple here with that sugar apple on it. If you guys know anything about them, please tell me why mine is two different colors. Um down here. Yeah, this isn’t working out right for these guys. This is supposed to be a key lime key lime bushes. Key lime bushes. They’re they have thorns on them and they’re not doing well here at all. So, I’m not sure. This one actually looks like it’s pushing off some new leaves. I may just leave it to see what it’s going to do, but I’m not sure what’s happening with it yet. But this is supposed to be my row where I walk, but it’s I haven’t been in the yard. Um, this is a chindula if I remember. That’s what I put here. And it has just grown tremendously again. Sorry about that. So, this is a um pomegranate tree and I failed it big time. Um, this stock right here was growing right next to it. And apparently this thing needed more nutrients than it’s is an amaranth. It was my amaranth that I did not want. I mean, I really wanted amaranth. I finally have my one amaranth and it made it and it grew and I wanted to see what it was going to do. I figured it’s an annual. It won’t hurt anything. Just leave it next to the tree because it’ll be chopped down soon. But no, my tree like suffered greatly from it. So I want my tree more than I want my amaranth. So I cut the amaranth down. And as far as chop and drop drop and nutrients go, I put some worm castings on here. There were still leaves on here. There were um everything was just crunchy. It just We’re starting over. I put some moringa leaves on here. I put some chamomilly leaves on here. And we’re just going to I mean, look at the stock that was on this thing. Look at this root. This was the root from that amaranth. Look, it’s still Look, I bet it would grow if I sucked that in the ground. I bet it would grow somewhere. You know what I’m going to do? I was going to let this die down and have nutrients for the pomegranate, but it’s wanting to grow. Look, it’s having new growth on it. Holy crap. You know what we’re going to do? We’re going to go put this somewhere else where it’s not going to um injure another plant. That’s crazy. That is just crazy. It still is wanting to grow. So, I’m glad I came by here and dug that up. We’ll set that aside. But, um, yeah, this right here, we’re just going to do what we can to get the nutrients back into that pomegranate tree. I really want one. I had pomegranate trees when I was living in California. Look over here. I have a little karabi growing right here. Um, we have some sinom seranom spinach growing right here. It looks like it needs that topped off. You top it off like that, then it’ll sprout out, bush out more. Take the take these off of it. But that’s just growing right there. Got some okonoff spinach growing here. Look, another pigeon pee. Another pigeon pee. An okra. This doesn’t do well because it doesn’t get a lot of sun. We have another okra here that does well cuz it does get a lot of sun. We got more okra and more okaw with spinach and more hitchhikers. And we even have some more carrots down here. Um, this you guys hopefully might be a miracle for my miracle berry that I thought I killed. This is where it ended up. So, I thought it died. So, I just cut it back. Cut it back. I don’t take the roots out because I don’t want to disturb what’s going on underneath here. And maybe that’s a good thing because if this is my miracle berry plant, then it’s living. So, we’re gonna have to take a picture of those leaves and find out what kind of leaves these are. But hey, is this poison ivy? Is that what that is? I’m going to have to research that one, too. What is this stuff? Is that poison ivy? I don’t know. So, we’re going to have to figure that one out. So, in this one, anyways, look. Got little carrots. You can see this. This seeso spinach isn’t doing well, but right behind it is this longevity spinach that is growing crazy. And that is like my favorite taste in my mouth. It’s so good. Oh my goodness. Yep. Then we have an apple tree growing here. And this is the kind of apple tree that it is. It is a Thai giant juju bee. And it has these going all over it. They are a bean and I’m not sure which one. I think they’re Puerto Rican black beans, but I’m not sure. And yes, I get black sy stuff on the leaves of these things, but I was told leave it alone and it’ll just do its thing. Look at that long bean way over there. Just I have things randomly growing everywhere all over the yard. So, I hope this will inspire y’all to get out there and stick something in the ground. Stick everything in the ground. Just broadcast it. See what happens. That’s what I like to do. Um everything’s just just growing all the way with the butterfly peas. Like this whole hedge. It’s going to be a hedge all the way around. So, thank you guys for sticking through and watching this little video with me and seeing my mess in the yard that’s actually thriving without me out here doing anything to it. So, the only issue is going to be in the winter time I have no irrigation and in the winter time things really get really get dried. So, I’ve got to figure out irrigation for my yard. And it’s not just for this side. It’s for all the way all the way around to the other side. So, I’ve got to figure figure out what to do about that this winter. That’s my main concern that keeps me up at night. Irrigation in my yard. So, that’s something I’m definitely got to work on. But that’s it for now. You guys have a great day and don’t put up fences. put up living living things that can grow and feed you and still give you some privacy. Okay, you guys stay hydrated.
