This isn't even the weirdest thing you'll find... 

Ha ha. I spent six winters on Big Island Hawaii . I largely relied on my machete for my income. I did entire yards with just a machete. People were suitably impressed. I still carry one as I walk in the Alaska woods. Its like an appendage.

i appreciate it when gardening youtube makes validating "Summer? Bummer." content. There's something to be said about communal suffering..

2nd! +100 for compost pile pumpkins. DTG you need your own machete brand. The Befemus? Spelling... Woooo! Anybody else who likes this idea give this post a 👍. 😀🌱🐢

It's nice to see plants that kind of look like mine. Not everything looks like it's out of a magazine.

Well! This helps me feel better about my jungle!

How great is it to put this little seed in the ground and see how huge it can sprawl out while feeding you and your friends and family. It truly is humbling.

Row garden more like ROGUE GARDEN LOL!!!

So many things to do in the yard but it's 100+ degrees. I think you need to plant some more pumpkins, David. Pretty sure I saw an area that wasn't completely overrun yet.

Hello David 🍍 You sir, always make me smile.... I was lying here 🤔 My North Florida spring garden turned into a summer mess 😔 I was sorta bummed... I grew 5 pretty big pumpkins... The Beatles destroyed everything, I travel for work, weeks at a time sometimes... I'm going to pull my boots on and go chop it all in about a week.... Then let her rest until fall 🎉.... Thank you for telling me, it's ok to be hot and not wanting to till it up yet 😂😆😂... You're a good soul sir GREEN 💚 👍🏼

DTG, your jungle gives me anxiety, lol. I have given up the last 2 years when my garden was completely overtaken by weeds but this year I was absolutely diligent in keeping the weeds out. This year the worst thing I have to deal with are tomatoes that outgrew their Florida weave and one that grew out of its 5 foot tall cage, lol. I absolutely love your grocery rows, I bought your book when it was released and have part of my garden designed very similarly. Even my raised beds are a modified grocery row type system, I love the concept so much, they’re always something to eat. Thanks for the great content.

Do you not know that figs ripen off the tree? It is safe to harvest them before the bugs start chowing down, and let them ripen on the bench.

This is my ideal style gardening 🏆🏆🏆 I love the wildness, the multi-layers ... Our summers are consistently over 40°C, quite often many days hovering around 44-46°C. In drought years, we've had multiple days over 50°C. With the hot, dry air, summer gardening like this means we often lose some plants, generally on the outer and upper that take the brunt of the hot sun, very high UV's and the horrible hot drying wind. Gardening like this keeps the moisture and humidity in and most things survive. In some areas if it's sheltered and are able to make a microclimate, you can stretch things with subtropicals. We're just coming out of a pretty harsh winter for our area. We've had a lot of -2°C down to -6°C. Have to break the ice for the livestock as its been thicker than your fingers and doesn't melt until mid -afternoon. It doesn't usually get this bad, just every few years. 0°C to -2°C is pretty typical. Protection of more sensitive crops and plants when an Arctic chill is coming, helps protect more sensitive plants for the extremes, both hot and cold. As I don't use chemicals like my neighbours, the abundance of wildlife on my property is huge. The amount of species of birds alone is phenomenal. A family of a dozen Magpies are friendly, (laughing) Kookaburras too. Every time I walk outside, i am surrounded by at least two dozen Blue Fairy Wrens, 5 or 6 Willy Wagtails and numerous finches. The Kookaburras, Magpies, Wedge Tail Eagles ( live nearby), Goss Hawks, Kites, Kestrels, Hawks and 4x different species of owls all help to keep the vermin numbers down and especially the (deadly) Eastern Brown Snakes that are here. I have lost a lot of livestock and pets too, to the Browns, 20x worse in the droughts. There are literally hundreds of Wrens here, accompanied by finches, Red and Yellow Chested Robins. wild Quail, lots of types of Honeyeaters Cuckoo's, Shrike Tits, Swallows, etc. Of course there are MANY different parrots King Parrots, Princess Parrots, Cockatiels, Rosellas, etc not forgetting the massive flocks in their 100's and often in their 1000's (thankfully the big flocks don't hassle me, but my big commercial farming neighbours sowing their 1000's of acres of crops around me) of Sulphur Crested Cockatoos, Galahs and Long Billed and Short Billed Correllas, Starlings and Sparrows. There's also no shortage of Little Crows and the huge ugly giant Ravens. I have to protect anything small until it's big enough to have a fair go itself. This method of gardening allows the small birds to get most of the bugs and have protection, frogs too. Love this style of growing, just have to be careful of snakes. All the best for the family from Australia 🇭🇲🦘🙏🦘🇭🇲 Edit: Sorry, didn't mean to write a book!

Keep em coming Dave.

The eggplant looked like it had extra protein 😂

The air potato plant is new to me. Wow

you only need scissors in my garden

I too like when my garden gets like that but unfortunately venomous snakes mean I have to keep it way stripped back.

I only have five minutes, 2× speed to the rescue 😂

Wow!!! Enjoy your dinner and your forest. ❤

This week we are in the 100’s 😮. I dread having to do anything outside. The grassy weeds have taken over on the paths between my raised beds it’s ridiculous. Thanks for the reminder that it won’t be too long til the temperatures come down and I won’t hate being in my garden again 😊

Good work, it's all producing! I enjoyed the visit, hope all of you are well.

Can't wait to see your next chop n drop video on your grocery rows. That is some amazing growth you got happening. Much love and blessings :)

You've got a beautiful garden. Those air potatoes remind me of dinosaur graham cookies. 7:32 if you feel like everything is out of control that's because it is. Thanks doc, I wondered why I hurt all over and now I know it's because I'm hurt all over.

I love ALL David The Good videos!

Sweet potato greens are excellent and can be harvested without disturbing tubers.

"Enjoy it while you got it." A wise motto for life.

That's a great jungle you've got growing, David! lol

Looking for some Dioscorea bulbifera seeds. Any ideas?

Very cool!! One of your songs showed up on my RU-vid super mix the other day. Awesome!

That looks great. I'm foraging for some figs over here, finally they have started to get nice, ripe and juicy. Most people just ignore them, the sad pathetic idiots.

We are 100 plus everything is frying!!

Thank you very much for this walk through your backyard Food Jungle David! As for the bitten eggplants, totally prefer veggies like these than the nice, "perfect" veggies that supermarkets only sell. This way we know, if the veggie was good for the bug, so then its good for us.😋🍆 As for the air potatoes 🥔, whether in the recent Gainesville Goodstream I watched or some other video, I thought 'air potatoe' was in reference to chayotes, I stand corrected, these definitely look like the underground spuds where the chayotes are more squash-looking in appearance.😅

Mr. Good first time commenting on anything, I saw in a previous video you where growing an improved Groundnut or Hopniss could you make a video on how it did for you? Thank you sir love your content!

Hi I’m interested in how you trellised the Philippine vine. Did you use string over the metal pole?

I want to grow those long thin squash. And all that yuca/cassava reminds me of the yards in Costa Rica. The cane too. And the taro and ginger. I love all those tropical plants and foods. I'm not gonna ask how you know what latex tastes like, but thanks for the tip on figs. 😉

I've done videos on air potatoes and getting them out of my yard. I've not heard of edible ones. Right now, I nearly have them stomped out, but they have migrated to a neighbor's jasmine. I've seen research into anti cancer properties of this plant as well. Any idea how to tell the difference?

David, where did you get the heirloom kusza seeds. Is it bug resistant

U r awesome. Ty

Would love to hear what zones some of these things can handle as you go through. I get so excited, look them up and .. nope not in my climate 😢

Can't stand all the weeds going ballistic in my permaculture garden 😩 chop n drop is tedious.

That is a big one .

My air potato 🥔 are really air ROCkS,,, never knew they might be FOOD😂

Purple sweet potato not yams.

Can someone point me to where I can get Dioscorea polystachya? The Chinese yam one??

Hurray cucuzza!

Fun! 😊🌴💚🌻🐝🐊

@davidthegood Where do you buy from local Mennonites? I live in north Florida just a few miles from the Alabama line. Just below the Enterprise or Dothan area. Thanks so much for the valuable videos!!!

I haven't gotten the chance to try ube.. but I do like a good yam. I have a couple of the orange sweet potato varieties growing. Where'd ya get your slips.. or whole taters to diy slips?

Too late to get true yams in the ground this year (am in Bremen, AL)???

❤

Is anyone else getting error messages with his website?

What is the plant with six lobes? at the 1:10 mark?

1-Your website is throwing up error codes for antiviruses. It just started in the last few hours (expired security certificate). 2-Please post your videos on your rumble acct. again. YT hates freedom.

Totally neglected not worth the time watching it

There is a nice, very positive new tone compared to the videos from the last property the Good family was living on. I love the sense of pride and accomplishments that come from this relatively new property. It is yours family's piece of land. That's the big difference, my friend and I love it! Very inspiring.

Curcurmins are amazing arent they.
