The fastest, easiest way I know of to deal with blackberries is goats, which will snarf them down like chocoholics turned loose in Willy Wonka’s factory. Probably best just to have them there BRIEFLY, so they don’t destroy everything…
I live in zone 7 any recomendations
What zone do you live in?
FYI, Valerian root is the best for Valium. No wonder your all calm!!!!!
Hello. I appreciate all the valuable tips you gave in this video. Thanks. You mentioned that you had a website in order to acquire some of the Turkish Rocket seedlings. I must be a bit too technologically inept to find where you shared the link. If you are still offering these plants – I'd be interesting in getting some…
I've been looking for black Goji berry plants. Where can I buy? I'm also looking for 9 star broccoli do you know where to buy them in the USA? Are you selling the Turkish rocket?
Every time I watch one of these videos, I wonder if it’s gonna be relevant to my zone and the moment I heard your Boston accent I knew I was good!
Valerian can be extremely toxic and very dangerous to consume. I garden in the SF Bay area. Albion strawberries are ever-bearing and precocious, produce huge crops including in their first year, starting early and going until temps drop into Autumn. Albion produces lots of precious runners which root super quickly, therein not affecting fruit production of the mother plant. I place 4" pots of richly amended loose soil under the runners, and cover their crowns with 3/4" to 1" of un-ammended soil, water them off and on, and clip off the runners as soon as their roots begin to emerge. If planted out, like the mother plant, these babies produce fruit their first year without affecting fruit production in the second or third years. Boom, at least 4-6 new plants from a mother plant each season with bumper crops from the mother plants the first and ensuing years.
What hardiness zone are you in? Do you have a web store?
Thanks for showing us
Great video! Thanks for sharing! I enjoy growing lots of perennials so this is awesome to see you grow so many great additions that I also want to add to my garden! Great inspiration!
Great video, thanks!
Sorrel, black locust, blue elderberry, Indian plum, service berry, garlic, potatoes, rocket arugula, mugwort, American currant, crabapple, … Don't bother using wood chips. Let your grass and weed grow. Harvest them as mulch and fertilizer.
Trying to grow sea Kale starting tomorrow
1 male to 10 female kiwis might be far too great of ratio. I've heard 1 male to 4 females is best.
how its the flavor of turkish rockets compared to Good King Henry?
In Fla.we enjoy our Barbados Cherry
Bush!
Thank you for the suggestion and I appreciate your link. What about gooseberries
What’s your planting zone?
Winter hardy kiwi isn’t a gooseberry it’s a true kiwi that grows in cold climates gooseberries are in the currant family which is the order saxifrales so like plants distantly related to jade plants and kiwis are in the kiwi family. Kiwis are in the order of the heaths and allies so distantly fruit there related to is cranberry’s and blueberry.
Blackberry root is also has medicinal properties..
When I was a kid, a family friend wrapped comfrey leaves around a pony's broken leg and it healed it.
