I’m back with a Fall backyard/front yard garden tour video! As I explain in the video it’s more of a backyard & front yard permaculture food forest tour than a garden tour. Whatever you want to call it this is my permaculture landscaping project I’ve been working on for a few years now. I want to say it’s almost complete but with permaculture nothing is ever complete, there’s always room for improvement. For example, when I visited this Fall I noticed my Banana Trees by the duck pond got much bushier than I expected and were blocking a lot of sun light to the Pineapple Plants I planted in between them, so I decided those Pineapples should be relocated to a place that gets more sunlight and the Bananas should fill in that whole back piece by the duck pond. Also on this Fall visit, I was experimenting with the plant id apps on my phone and learned that a couple of my more exotic plants were fake! So I reordered the Black Goji Berry to replace the fake one and plan to dig up the fake Red Pineapples too. This is all the baseline of permaculture, observing the details and adjusting everything to be more efficient. I hope everyone likes my food forest, it’s still young but in a few more years everything should be producing. Subscribe to my channel to watch the progression!
Thanks for watching!

Thanks for sharing.
Have you seen any snakes around or no?
Cool, how is your lychee and coconut trees doing? I’m moving to Jacksonville soon, I’m hoping I’m able to plant some Logan, lychee, coconut, and so on. 🤞🏻
any advice? My bananas got abit burn from our last frost.
Love love your garden. We're moving to Florida (zone 9) next year and look forward to growing our garden. Just curious how to protect your crops from heavy rains and hurricanes. Thank you for all advice:-)

Ty really appreciate this.
Wondering how big is your yards?
This is a very approachable method for people wanting to get into growing their own food in a normal sized yard. Looked great. One question though, won't that pear tree grow and hit your house?
I'm so so jealous. A good kind of jealousy. 🙏
Hi love how beautiful your banana plants are. I am in South Florida, in Miami. What type of fertilizer do you put on your banana plants?
Do you have irrigation on the bananas?
Congratulations; beautiful garden;

Beautiful garden!
Do you ever have trouble with iguanas or any ' night creatures' eating your plants? If so, any advice? I live in the West Palm Beach area. Thanks.
I’m happy to watch another update of your beautiful garden. It’s amazing to see the changes in your plants over time. I love watching my garden grow a little each day, that is my favorite part of gardening. It’s so fun to have the growth documented over the season to look back at and see your progress. I love that about being a garden YouTuber. Let’s learn & grow more together!
I'm a native Floridian in Central Florida. I live in an HOA on the edge of a preserve. The houses here are spaced very far apart with woods around them and we are at the very back of the neighborhood, so we've been debating putting chickens in our fenced back yard (no roosters, of course) but worrying maybe the HOA will make a fuss anyway. I know in Hillsborough County, they have passed ordinances allowing chickens due to shortages caused by Covid. I'm in Citrus County. We are going to put in a pond, and would love to have some ducks. I grew up on a farm, and we had everything, so it's a way of life I'm familiar with. Your banana trees look great! But, you should know mulberry trees and fig trees can get huge, lol. My grandmother had a fig tree that was easily 20 feet across and a good 15 feet high. A family friend had a mulberry tree that dominated his front yard and was easily the size of an old oak. 😂
Very nice coop, did you design it yourself?
Thank you for sharing and keep enjoying your lovely garden and the birds.
This is really cool. What’s it like keeping turkeys?
Close your legs .. don't need to see your crotch . Focus on content material not just talk .
I like the Duck Pond
I'm going to let you in on a tip that I found out if you take off your shoes and socks to your bare feet and you walk up to that low-clock tree and you tell that tree that you are so thankful for it touch it let it know you're going to care for it take care of it and it will fruit for you the next year just about guaranteed for any fruit tree but you have to be connected to the Earth and your shoes and socks block us from the connection to our plants. Just a tip no charge, your welcome and your property is awesome great job
