Planting Mulberry | Japanese Sansho Pepper | Goumi Berry | Food Forest Garden



We added more fruit trees and ground cover layers over the last month and found some exciting new herbs and flowers to enrich the garden.
Why did we plant bonsai fruit trees in the food forest garden?
Where do we get our cardboard?
Taste testing Mulberry, and japanese pepper.
Thanks for watching.

    Ask Nick and Andrea from Project Portugal where they got their Sechuan Pepper tree from. They just planted one in their last episode. 😊

    LOL, at your pickup's ignition switch, has it had a colourful past ?. I really like the variety of fruit trees in your garden, for lunch just go for a walk, pick n eat, no cooking required.

    You two put to shame all those paying money for a full body workout in gyms ! U have a full body workout daily at your property. I don't know what to call it; farm or garden. It seems to be a bit of both! It is looking nicer and nicer! I can imagine when u have fully restored the buildings it will be a gem! You will have ur own paradise 24/7

    You got sansho pepper! You'll have to wait some years to get the peppercorns, but the leaves are nice in everything. Try them next time with plain gnocchi. Nice with fish or chicken – I don't eat meat now so I just put it in salads and everything 🙂 I have another slightly different variety that grows here in the sub-tropics.
    Goumi berries are kind of like a sweet, tart, fruit tomato. Kind of. Hah, hah, they taste like a goumi. They'll get quite large like an egg shaped mini tomato and the skin has a rough spotty texture. I don't know if you are supposed to eat the skin but I do. My husband doesn't like them – too tart for him. I eat them as they are, but now you are going to have a goumi forest, you might be able to make jam out of them. But be careful – at least here, sparrows LOVE to eat the goumi blossom so if you don't protect the flowers, it is hard to get fruit.
    For my mulberries, I wear thin gloves and ever so gently pull on them a little. If they fall off in your hand, they are ripe and should be sweet.
    Australians make a spread called 'passionfruit butter' and if you search on Youtube you'll find recipes. Passionfruit are my favorite fruit and I eat them with a spoon like a soft boiled egg 🙂 Stand them up and just cut off the head carefully so you don't lose any juice. They fall off when they are fully ripe, so picking them up from the ground is better than pulling them off.

    FREE the BONSAI! May they live long and prosper! 🤣👏👏👏Can't wait to see them mature.

    Everything looking so beautiful! I had to go look up Goumi berry. Seems it will do well here in zone 6 where I live in Montana so I’ve put it on my list.

    Passion fruit trees love blood and bones apparently. Thank you for this video. I love your fruit forest garden, very inspiring. Watching the progress from Australia.

    Wow it is really coming together, I love the stories, and the new movement in Portugal to free the Bonsai trees will be awesome lol.

    Congratulations! You got my daughter interested in gardening! Well in a certain plant anyway! I was watching your video and having a coffee, she was beside me. She herd you say " Japanese gummy bear tree! " and it did sound like gummy bear! So I am now tasked with finding this amazing tree for our garden! She can't wait for the first harvest! Great video. Thank you

    Cutting the grass with a lawn tractor would be easier and less time consuming, the harvested grass could be used to make even more compost 😃

    Hi. Here in Australia Mulberry trees self seed. They grow everywhere wild and make the most beautiful jam!!!

    You may find that gooseberries will do well as understorey rather than out in the opening. They are worth growing.

    Guys I've loads of cardboard if ever your in the Porto area . We live very close to the airport. Give us a shout if you want to pick it up .

  43. Mary Hauser

    Glad to see you are also taking time to have fun, I am also a dancing person, and love music. Because of you guys I started a "cheat garden" tomatoes and lettuce, so far they are in pots as they are store bought, I just have remind my husband to water them, the backyard is his responsibility , the front of the house, flowers is mine.

    It's amazing how many different varieties of food you have growing and always adding more. I got to wondering what foods you are growing that are synonymous with certain countries. That led me on to wondering if you could make (or if you already have the makings of) a garden that you could call "The World Garden". Your knowledge of these plans astounds me and the fact that you can pronounce the Latin names of them too. When I see them I revert to a child learning to read LOL. Great job. Take care, Poo
