    Your garden is majestic and so inspirationnal. I'm currently living in a flat with a balcony and I'm dreaming and working towards owning land / a garden.

    Well done to you and your family for creating such a beautiful space !

    Your energy and wiseness is contagious, thanks for sharing it ♥️

    I 100% agree on the pruning tomatoes. I do take of the tired bottom leaves – but seriously more tomatoes when I didn't prune. **💡also U shaped supports and planting on that inner curve – wow 😳 massive plants and tomato yeild!!!🍅🍅

    Idk if u did this on purpose but your top matches your visor . I love your garden!! I wish to have one someday. From what I remember I think you live in Canada . Wow. U are growing a lot and then you'll have food to save for winter also you probably have specific things you grow in winter?

    I liked the purslane bit. It's been a volunteer plant at one of my sites for years and I realized last month they make a perfect groundcover for my onions. They only seem to emerge in early summer after the onions have established and make a perfect carpet around the bulbs without bullying them around. I haven't tried eating them yet but love how much they seem to be reducing my evaporative loss around such a shallow-rooted crop.

    Really cool to see someone else finding value in this volunteer.

    Your garden is so great and beautiful. So much productivity and variations. Hope one day I can have a garden like yours. Thank you for sharing this.

    Such an inspiring video! I am based in Italy, so quite a different climate, and we're just getting started on a rural property. I have a PDC and am good on the theory, and social permaculture stuff, but I've never had a green thumb, so learning to actually garden, especially in such harsh climate (hot, super dry summers, intense rain, heavy clay soil) is my weak point. But I am learning, and hoping that next year will be our year to start really producing enough to feed ourselves a bit. By the way, where do you buy your fabric bags? I've only seen the black nylon types around here and yours are much nicer!

    Thanks for the huckle berry note. My huckle berry plants didn't like our summer heat and is just growing well now that temps have reduced. I was wondering if I had time to get berries. First frost won't be before oct.5th. (probably mid oct. this year)

    I totally agree about tomato pruning. I came about it by accident, just had an extremely busy summer where I barely watered and cared for my tomatoes compared to years before. They did AMAZING, just pumped out fruit all summer. I'll never prune again.

    I think it matters a lot what's in your ground. Last year, for example, I planted the tomatoes and visited again in August, at picking time (I plant at a friend's place, b/c I don't have the space). This year I decided to prune and stake with the only difference that I've seen my friend more often 🙂 And I also have a lot of tomato starts from what I pruned. So, both years, lush foliage but only average harvest. No difference in pests or diseases.
    Could also be the wood chips I put on the ground. I used chipdrop (free) and the chunks of wood were much bigger than what you can buy at Canadian Tire, for example. Put about a foot of chips down in March 2021, 3 months later they were at soil level, as if they sunk (was not expecting that)!
    Anyway, you must be practically neighbours with Deborah and Gabriel, they don't have a YT channel (but they were featured in Exploring Alternatives), but Keith, at Canadian Permaculture Legacy, does!

    Hello from Germany. very nice garden with many different types of vegetables but also more exotic plants that are rather rare in your climate zone! by the way, just like mine, since we have a very identical climate here in northern germany as yours. I don't know how things are with you in Canada with seed exchanges, here there are many who offer vegetable seeds of the "original varieties". I don't know if the translation into English is correct, so I'll explain again what I mean. these are seeds of vegetables that have never been changed or "refined" by breeding and thus have the taste and shape as they did hundreds of years ago. I want to say that if you should ever have the opportunity to get hold of seeds of such original varieties, I definitely recommend you to try them. the taste of such strains is so much more intense, whether it's tomato or cucumber or whatever, it will surprise you extremely.
    i hope you can understand what i wanted to say, because my english is not very good and i had to use google translator for some words.
    Warm greetings from Germany

    I was surprised if you like gardening and loved your garden but so sorry tattoo on bodies does not fit in natural world. Sorry to say it!

    Have you noticed any problems with your zucchini and cucumbers this year? For some reason all my zucchini died due to that white powdery mildew and no matter how I tried to save them, they didn’t fight it off…..I meant squash not zucchini but I’ve seen all 3 mentioned do really bad this year….

    I heard that purslane takes a lot of nutrients out of the soil, has anyone else heard this?
