Influenced by their childhoods in Southwestern India, Ratna and Venkappa Gani opted for a backyard food forest instead of lawn when they bought a house in a new Austin subdivision. Combining edibles, including favorites from India, with flowers for pollinators, they harvest year round. An engineer, Venkappa designed rainwater collection before designing pathways from leftover construction limestone and bricks.

My husband and I had the privilege of meeting and talking with these wonderful people for some time and we are so happy that people like themselves are doing such amazing things! We gained so much just from talking to them.

Thank you for encouraging gardening RU-vidrs such as myself, especially new ones.

Classical examples of "Sustainability" - using & improvising what is already available to you instead of buying endlessly. Love the fact that they try growing new fruits / veges. Inspiration to all !! Happy gardening all.

I can remember my mother's garden, it was a jungle haven! she had all sorts of plants growing and she just loved to cook her veg! I can remember starting growing my own flowers and herbs and my mum would come round so excited, like as if I had given birth to one..lol, but seeing all these flowers and the way they have made such a small garden into pure natural beauty just reminds me of my mothers home.

They are so lucky to be able to grow all these delicious fruit trees. The "Egyptian spinach" is molochaya.

I’m trying my hand at pineapple guava, guava, cherimoya, and atemoya here in San Antonio. This video has inspired me. I believe it can be done now!

This is awesome! I remember eating custard apple as a child, it was soo good :D

@theblueoceanwashedawaymypa3774 6 лет назад

Sasha Gonsalves yes it is. I wish I could grow it here 😭😭😭

@dickiesmallworth631 6 лет назад

That was just a sampling of the things you can grow that thrive here in Central Texas. The one thing I did not see what Phalsa (Grewia asiatica) which absolutely thrives and makes wonderful tart berries similar to blueberries. It is from India.

@CentralTexasGardener 6 лет назад

Will check that out! Sounds wonderful!

@qasimali32 5 лет назад

BTW I am growing that in North California and it is doing pretty good

@garukoe 5 лет назад

I read that it'd be wiser for environment to only plant the native plants 🌱, which these couple do. The local fruits and flowers and herbs they mentioned sound amazing.There's apparently a good book on the merit of planting native plants, titled Bringing Nature Home by Douglas W. Tallamy. Will look to it soon.

Thanks for your sharing, is the sweet tiny melon 6:44 is Dosakai? thanks

@BrandonLandon21 6 лет назад

Nice gardening!! I want some vegan curry Dishes!!

@rmehta13 6 лет назад

All curries can be made vegan , if you use oil/ vegan butter instead of ghee, tofu instead of paneer , soy milk instead of milk , you get the idea. Search "VeganRicha.com" has vegan recipes.

@ram_kandula Год назад

I see 90% of the backyards in Austin and central Texas are just grass and dry. And I heard from everyone that soil in Austin doesn’t allow you to grow anything. I am surprised how they can grow? Did they used lot of top soil ? How to meet them or contact them ?
