The cottage gardens at the Meadow House were only put in 9 months ago, so there’s still quite a bit of mulched space to fill. Instead of waiting for all the herbaceous perennials to fill out, we went ahead and planted a number of edible trees, shrubs, groundcovers, vining plants, and annual fruits and vegetables that we can collect throughout the season. Incorporating edible plants within a garden matrix can be a really beautiful and engaging experience overall. We’ll take you through what we’re growing and how we’re designing it within the context of a small garden space on 1/8th of an acre.

  1. You know what looks gorgeous in a mixed garden? Giant red mustard. It's almost too pretty to eat.

  2. I have seen other garden you tubers who trap ground hogs when they appear. I love how you co exist with yours. He doesn't seem to do the same kind d of damage to your garden as they complain about in their gardens.. Do you think it is because your property is so large? He has more room to roam?

  3. It wonderful. Though Medlar seems to be a forgotten tree in Europe it's fruit is a must have in my country every autumn.

  4. Lovely gardentour. I really enjoy edible landscapes and sm sthinking about sharing our own journey here in the Netherlands.

    I try to put in as many edibles as possible.

    And Morus Pendula is a gorgeous plant. High on my to plant list!

  5. Hello 👋👋🤗🤗🎉🎉❤❤ I'm your New friend and New subscriber from the Philippines 🎸🎸🎸✨✨❤❤🎉🎉 full support here always 🎸🎸🎸✨✨ GODBLESS 🎸👍✨ thanks 🎸🎸👍👍✨🌱🌱👋👋💗❤️❤️🌺🌺

  6. Perfect timing Summer! I have been adding to my edible garden. Your gardens are beautiful. Your outfit is so nice. You always wear the prettiest colors, perfect for summer. Thanks for sharing!

  7. Stunning, and so inspiring! I gotta say, I would feel pretty frustrated with those ground hogs eating up all of my goodies! How do you keep such a positive attitude when the furry beasts seem to be making a banquet of your garden. I live in the woods of northern Michigan, and have lots of wild critters prowling around. I solved the problem with a feisty pit bull/beagle I adopted from the rescue. He doesn't often catch them, but just his presence (along with a couple of good mouser barn cats) seems to get the point across. No major critter issues!

  8. Nice to see your garden With edible plants. Your plant shaping on the fence is something like what I do in my alamanda. I'm happy to see your garden

  9. PLEEEEASE CHECK OUT WELLSWEEP HERB FARM NJ!!!

    We've got over 1500 kinds of plants all grown in the most organic practices possible.

  10. If all of these plants could speak, they would shout in one voice:

    "Take a bow Summer!"

    "We are all children of Mother Nature, but you are our godmother, so take a bow!" 🙂

  11. I learned a lot on how ro fertilize the soil by watching your video. Beautiful gardens ! I'm redoing my whole backyard this summer and prepping for edible pathways and verticals along my fence. I am only working with 2000 square feet. I have 2 apple trees and am trying to figure out where I want my asparagus to plant in the ground in the fall as the last batch failed where I put them. My front yard is a habitat for the hummingbirds nesting, bees , butterflies, and insects. I added a mudbath and a bird bath for the hummingbirds. I am really trying to do the companion planting as i can't use chemicals due to the bees , birds, and butterflies. I also did 2 blueberries bushes 1 low and 1 of the stand up and a fig tree. I am used to living in the Az desert so i am trying to learn northeast gardening .much shorter times! Also, i have my hydroponics and grow lights to start seedlings in feb . It seems like a long time to wait until the end of may after frost is done tho. 😅 oh and i was lucky enough to get some comfrey. I have arthritis and am excited to have it to make my own salve for my hands . 😊

  12. What do you have growing for grass? Does it mix in with weeds? We have a much smaller backyard/foodscape with some lawn that is deteriorating from only using organics.

  13. Where I live, I don't have the wildlife complaints of suburban gardeners. Even though there's lots of the same species around.
    I blame it on the wildlife not being hungry and has lots of their traditional food to eat.
    Pineapple weed, AKA "Wild chamomile"

  14. At 22:14 you talk about the kamassia and how it's edible but maybe more a famine plant. And that just goes to show that not every edible plant is palatable.
