This method of growing things and maximizing life is the best anti stress and de-stressor. Thank you!

Hey, so glad it lands that way for you!

@edibleacres Год назад

They can be challenging, they can damage stuff we care about sometimes, but they are beautiful and strange and wonderful and slow and gentle and belong. The work is to find the balance and/or facilitate enough abundance that there is room for everyone to just be alive, not as an enemy or a pest, but be alive and be appreciated.

@Sue-ec6un Год назад

@@edibleacres The birds in my yard take care of the slugs when they are small...so I don't happen upon a big one. YUK. My garden is just a little bit wild. And organic going on 8 years now. I enjoy seeing your garden because it makes my garden seem...organized! HAHA

@slaplapdog Год назад

@@edibleacres I am kinda phobic about them myself but I know it's a me issue... We have an imported lizard here in Cincinnati that loves to eat slugs. I just finished building a garden bed with lizard homes(rock piles) at one end.

@nettlesomelife Год назад

I agree with you on the plastic. I don’t love having it around, however we have found ways to reuse plastics until we can’t possibly use them anymore. Especially high tunnel plastic. If we re-skin a tunnel, we’ll cut up the old one into smaller pieces for low tunnels or spot coverings of plants or wood piles.

@edibleacres Год назад

Seems like a very reasonable use there.

@amyjones2490 Год назад

I need to go pick myself a salad after looking at your new spring greens!

@edibleacres Год назад

Go get it!

@guitaristcj Год назад

That brassica definitely looks like some kind of bittercress (cardamine), perhaps hairy bittercress (cardamine hirsutia) but it’s hard to say because it’s a massive genus with many similar looking plants. One of my favorite salad additions! Just be careful of all those jumpy seeds while harvesting, they seem to go right for the eyes!

@edibleacres Год назад

Thank you for the ID and experience! I'll engage squint mode next time :)

@arielmartian Год назад

yes- this looks like hairy bittercress to me. i had some come in soil i got a while back. in the space of 2 years, it's spread everywhere in my garden, and i've even seen some out in the woods now. i'm not thrilled about it. i can also attest to the spring-loaded nature of those seed pods. they launch hundreds of seeds about 3 feet in all directions when disturbed. hopefully you like them in salads. 🙃

@Dontreallycare5 Год назад

Really enjoy the realism and pragmatic mindset your videos always embody. If you ever get the chance to have someone take a bit of drone footage of your sites, I would love to see the kind of overhead but high detail layout of your garden sites.

Wow looks nice! I got myoga ginger from you this spring and I was thinking it must be dead. But a couple days ago it finally started sprouting. Yay!

@peterellis4262 Год назад

It is a slow starter. I have mine right next to my fuki, and the Fuki is up first thing, long before last frost, while the myoga ginger waits until the sauna is fully warmed up ;)

@slaplapdog Год назад

You're example has encouraged me to stick cuttings in my "wintersown" annuals. Both the cuttings and the seedlings benefit from the tiny greenhouse environments of wintersowing containers. They are going in the same beds, mostly wintersquash and mulberrries into a raised bed that will become a source of biomass.

@debbies2966 Год назад

I'm loving the paths in the main garden. It looks like a mini food forest set up.

@sigridkingma961 Год назад

The celandine (chelidonium majus) is antifiral, antibacterial and keratolytic. It spreads its seed after blossoming, so cut it right before if you don't want it to spread. You can use the plant on warts. It also helps when you have eye infections, but it's very painful in the eye. An older lady taught me to wipe a leaf gently over your eyelid towards the ears. Don't bruise the leaf. That's a painless way to use it for your eye infection. Otherwise it's mainly for softening hard skin. Only use it on the hard parts though, it can damage your softer skin. It can be used for liver problems, but ask your dokter first, for there are some side effects and contra-indications.

@mrdeleoco8702 Год назад

Great comment!

@edibleacres Год назад

Wow. Celandine expertise here, thank you so much for sharing!

@Mikhail-Caveman Год назад

@Sue-ec6un Год назад

That seed popping plant is in my yard, as I walk through, they shoot their seeds with every step! Pernicious weed but it only grows here in the earliest spring, so I just let it be. And it seems it is hairy bittercress after a web search. And it is used as an herb. Very interesting.....

@trumpetingangel Год назад

I discovered the shooting seeds yesterday. It's everywhere in my yard.

@Sue-ec6un Год назад

Oh, I bought some decompostable fabric pots this year, grow bags. Light, cheap, and so far working out great! Also they can be planted in the ground and will decompose over time. Water in, water out, and if and when the roots pop out they will simply die back without killing the plant...air pruning they called it. They say they will last 3 years above ground as 'pots'. I'm testing their theory. :) But so far I love them. And no plastic pots. I still sow seed in some recycled plastic pots but I also use the cardboard egg cartons for many of my seeds. But it's now time for direct seeding, which I love best!

@PartTimePermies Год назад

My bitter cress does that type of springy seed release. My 3 year old loves to eat the little white flowers before they go to seed. Can eat the greens also

@chrisk1669 Год назад

Keep hearing good things about carmine goumi. I might have to give this plant a try.

@edibleacres Год назад

@jlazelle1 Год назад

I have "seed shooters" like that this year too. They want to grow everywhere and they spray chicklet like seeds. Been managing them but they are tucked in everywhere anyway. Oh well.

@yLeprechaun Год назад

Aaahhhh. Peace

@seraaron Год назад

I think the 'upland cress' is actually bitter cress. Technically edible, and a bit like arugula (rocket), but it's hard to harvest in quantity.

@edibleacres Год назад

Bitter Cress is definitely the agreement amongst most folks who commented. Thank you!

Would Sasha have left the slug alone? Anything chickens for future content suggestion. I’m designing a chicken pen and future homesite.

Beautiful crab apple. Have you tried grafting into it? I have been having fun grafting various apple types into my crab apple. It’s been a fun adventure. Beautiful garden!

@smueller12244 Год назад

I thought I had a big crabapple....but holy SMOKES do you have a big crabapple!!! I think our guy is about 30-40 feet tall, 40 foot spread and 60-75 years old (I estimated it was planted with the house initially).

@edibleacres Год назад

It's a big crabapple! Probably planted in 1965 or so when the house was 'planted' in the landscape...

@peterellis4262 Год назад

Thinking about the plastic pots and wondering about other options. Things that come to my mind quickly are wooden planters and burlap bags or wraps. Neither are as easy to work with as plastic pots. I could see, as a nursery, selling some plants in wooden planters where the planter was a value add. Building planters over the cold season could give you a stock to fill come spring and it would be much like potting into plastic. Small plants set on squares of burlap and tied into packages would have advantages of being light weight and taking minimal space, but the wrapping would be a bit of an art. Of course clay pots, but those are expensive, fragile, heavy. Anyone have thoughts for an alternative solution to plastic pots?

@jimmyanderson6895 Год назад

My guess for the one that shoots it’s seeds is hairy bittercress

@jbbbjj Год назад

I love your channel and have been following you a couple years. In fact, we are planning our chicken paradise compost system for our newly purchased property. However, I am flabbergasted that you would plant autumn olives knowing that is not allowed in your state. Honestly it should be illegal in all 50 states to grow, not just sell. We are in SW Virginia and have acres of it. It is a massive issue, with the bushes being so extremely difficult to get rid of, that you have to use extremely harsh chemicals. Chop it down, and it will sprout back up and sends sucker's to keep it going. You will regret having this plant.

@edibleacres Год назад

I am so happy you enjoy the channel, thanks for being with us! Autumn Olive... there is so much to say here. We have been working with this plant for almost 15 years and have nothing but positive things to say. We have utilized them as trellis plants to grow winter squash, we have planted trees amongst them to facilitate reforestation, with ample cutting of branches to provide mulch and soil feeding as the trees establish and move up and above the Autumn Olive, we have watched thousands of native pollinators enjoy their flowers, have harvested gallons upon gallons of rich, delicious medicinal fruit from them, on and on. They are profoundly functional allies. A narrative that demands their destruction has been incredibly useful for massive corporations, and fighting against them instead of working with them I could imagine being a very defeating and infuriating experience. As a non-native myself I try hard to find the value and function of people, plants and animals that have arrived here in the not so distant past and build with them

@kerem7546 Год назад

@candaceplatt1700 Год назад

Did you start the Carmine goumi from cuttings or seed? We have a few goumi varieties but have found the birds get them. The Carmine seems too big for the birds so we would love to add more of these…plus they are so tasty!!

May I ask why you're not able to sell the Charlie's golden autumn olive? *edit: I've stumbled upon a likely answer while Googlin'. Happy growing. Thanks for all the knowledge!

@samuelsamu8340 Год назад

Hi, I didn't find anything. And why propagate something you cannot sell?

@edibleacres Год назад

Good question. It is considered 'illegal' in many places. As a shrub that is incredibly cold hardy AND heat hardy, with massive piles of nectar rich flowers for all the bees to enjoy, extreme amounts of Nitrogen fixation to repair and nourish depleted soils, delicious and nutrient rich berries in great abundance for humans and birds to enjoy and the ability to nurse young trees into the canopy, protecting them from deer browse we have a massive amount of love for this plant. However, the same agencies that allow roundup and all sorts of other horrifying chemicals to be used in the environment have deemed it illegal and I will lose my license to sell plants if I offer it up. Good stuff :)

@jonathonslootweg9104 Год назад

Sean we have 6 chickens in a small run in our backyard and I've been loading arborist wood chips in there and shoveling into piles to hot compost sporadically. Would you feel comfortable taking that material right out of the run and growing veggies in it, or would you let it age without the addition of new manure for a while before using? Thanks for all the useful info over the years

@edibleacres Год назад

Happy to share over the years, thanks for being part of our community :) I would think the wood chips wouldn't grow great plants right away but I would not suggest you don't try it. Certainly experiment and fingers crossed you get some good results!

@CanadianPermacultureLegacy Год назад

What is your success rate on getting Caucasian Mountain Spinach to overwinter? I've tried 4 times now and haven't been able to do it. It could be that I'm just cold enough that it doesn't work for me.

@edibleacres Год назад

Hard to really tell, we'll have to see after this winter. Most of the plantings we had in this landscape are gone but because the dogs have trampled them!!! SO SO many variables in our landscape, it's hard to know what is what... We've put a bunch out in sheltered outdoor places and we'll see, but I believe they shoudl be quite hardy to at least 5b. High winter water table will kill them, I've seen that for sure...

@petrosros Год назад

The truth is, 'Plastic' is a very useful material. We just need to find an economical way to reuse it. No Sorrel? You add a little to Spinach, and it becomes something fantastic. The Greek dish, Spinatiropitta (spinach and cheese pie) usually has Sorrel in it, and tourist always wonder how they get the spinach to taste so nice. And of course Russian sour sorrel soup, you can call it Ukrainian if you want. Oh, and the jumpy seeds in England we call chick weed, and it is everywhere. Its old English name actually translates to food or eat.

@alexanderpaines1754 Год назад

Its more like hairy bittercress (cardamine hirsuta) than chickweed (stellaria media), although as always when using common names, local variations can cause confusion

@petrosros Год назад

@@alexanderpaines1754 Yes I saw the comment with that description, I think in England the generic name rules, I am sure you understand plant classification is not a complete science, if there can be such a thing. I have over the last fifteen year been watching the transformation through hybridization of a member of the Oxalis looking group from Argentina to a legume. It is seen as a pest, but I like it, a beautiful color and flower that thrives in rough dry areas,

@edibleacres Год назад

Oh we've got some Sorrel for sure... I would like to expand our plantings, but we've got a solid patch :)
