GARDEN TOUR: Front Yard Permaculture Garden



Come join us as I give a tour my front yard garden. This version of the garden is two years old. The landscape is premised on permaculture principles. Plants are grown for their ascetic appeal and their function. Read more at: http://www.neverenoughdirt.com/the-gardens/

If you’re like me and you feel like there is never enough dirt to grow your veggies and herbs, I hope this video inspires you to grow them as part of your front yard landscape.

    You might want to get rid of these diseased eggplantsnd that pepper next to it. That could spread to other eggplants, peppers, tomatoes, potatoes, and other related plants.

    An interesting plant mix! And funny to see many of the plants we are growing in our permaculture garden in the Netherlands in a very different climate 🙂

    SO happy that you inserted pictures of the plants when in bloom, since they aren't at the time of this video. It is really informative and so helpful because of it!! Thank you. I'm here in Tampa, FL zone 9 and am always looking for gardeners in a similar zone since it is so different than the rest of the states- happy I found you!

    Man, I wish there was smell-o-vision for this video! Stargazer lilies and Maid of Orleans jasmine -which is one of my all time favorite flowers because of the awesome scent. I had a Hawaiian friend, and she said they get huge in Hawaii, and they are favorites for leis. Do sweet potatoes do well in S. California? Maybe they would work well as a ground cover for some of your bare spots. I'm in N. Florida, and I think our temps are similar, but our rainfall patterns are very different. I subscribed, and I'm looking forward to watching some of your other vids. Thanks for sharing. I really enjoyed seeing your work in progress!

    I see and hear two themes in your garden that need attention. The First is the word "Landscaper". Try becoming the landscaper yourself. Second is every time I see a yearly photo, I see open and uncovered soil. You can correct that with Perennial Peanut(Yes I saw some Peanut, but you never identified the type). It will fill in all those open gaps and fertilize everything there. It also requires less water, trimming, and produces an edible yellow flower.Your landscaper should never introduce an inferior plant, and should have addressed your soil coverage a long time ago. There are several types of Perennial Peanut( should be planted about 16 inches apart), some do well in shade, others full sun. Know what you are getting , don't just accept somebody else ideas as fact. I liked and enjoyed the video, but I invite you to watch your own video again and see if you agree. Thank you for sharing.

    My meighbor across the street has a white mulberry and it is just terrible! When the fruit comes ripe it falls down all aver the sidewalk and road and begins to rot and smell horrible. When the children are walking home from school the have to walk through that mess and the fruits are both not as large or as sweet as the purple varieties. Also birds eat it and spread volunteer trees all around the neighborhood! I have to dig out at least 3 new mullberry trees each year from my yard. I hope you are able to keep it pruned to a manageable size as they get quite large!

    I enjoyed your garden tour very much! Your garden is both attractive enough to be in the front yard and productive in providing edibles for your family. I love the way your garden brings your neighborhood together to bond and become friends while talking about plants.

    REMOVE THE MULBERRY…IT WILL DESTORY THE CONCRETE STRUCTURE…DO IT NOW

    FENNEL AND DILL ARE A MUST FOR ANY SERIOUS GARDENER…WELL DONE…also..tuck sebeeal in places it can remain even when dead…the good bugd.lay eggs on them..

    You have some great plants for some flora arraingments

    Be careful with the plumeria. It will be a tree eventually. You have the bamboo in a planter, but if it doesn't have a saucer under it, the bamboo can be invasive, roots coming out thru the drainage holes.

  29. Karen Morris-Taylor

    Great video. Please let us know what zone you are in. Also beware of mints they are notoriously invasive. Best to put them in containers.

    I've heard Fennel is a bad companion plant. People say it poisones the soil around it in a way and makes it hard for other plants to grow around it. I've never tested that, but I know their are other plants that use their root system to inhibit other plants from growing near them.
