This video covers heaps of great backyard farming material such as: growing fruit trees: mangoes, nashi pears, pomegranates, finger limes, oranges, pecans, etc. Plus, we check out the quail, ducks, and chickens, before heading back up to the vegetable patch to see cucumbers, chillies, peppers, brukale, garlic, asparagus, ginger, beans, Egyptian spinach, and more!
This is a long walk around, so, sit back get a brew, relax, and even watch this video on the big screen – enjoy!

Where yall get all this money
I just planted my first finger lime last spring. It’s got it’s first fruit on it. I can’t wait to see how it tastes when it gets ripe. So far it about 3/4 of an inch long( just under 2 cm) and very dark green. I hope it’s a good variety. Such a sweet looking small tree. I suspect it is a dwarf or semi dwarf variety.
I used to raise quail and pheasants. But I found the quail to be predatory to each other in captivity. They
Are seclusive in the wild and are not a social bird, like most within their own species. They have a sharp
Pecking order and don't seem to know their own strength. They will kill each other as a defense method
In a storm or social disturbance where they panic and attack each other out of frenzy. It's not your fault
That you are loosing them. Talking to them quietly teaches them to look forward to encounters with you and each other. Good luck with these nervous birds; some creatures resist mingling within their species. Whistling softly
As you approach them quiets them while they stop and take notice. tms poet Ohio
Great content Mark! Just an idea, for those living in warmer climates such as Queensland, it would be great to get your take on ideal veggie substitutes for those that don't do too well in the subtropics? You mention alternatives in a lot of your videos but something along the lines of a 'Top 10 Vegetable Substitutes' video maybe? For example, Brussels Sprouts like the cooler climates but you're growing Brukale instead…
Just thinking out loud but I'll be watching all of your posts regardless 🙂
They stressed from the storm.
@13:19 it could be hard attack my neighbor small dog died like that too in stormy night they scare i had a american eskimo dog everytime there was lighitning she would shake.cheers.
I could binge watch your channel all day, but then wouldn't get any gardening done myself. Love your channel!
Nice
Hello Mark. As usual you have a fan here with me. I loved this video. Your Pecan tree reminded me of one night when it came up a storm. We have a large Pecan tree growing about 50 yards behind our house. Well if you don't believe that lightening strikes won't make you come alive and really alive your wrong. That storm came up and lightening struck that Pecan tree, My husband came running into the living yelling what the heck's happening. Anyway next morning we went out and checked to see where that bolt of lightening struck. It hit that pecan tree and almost split it in half I thought it was done for but believe it or not it survived and produces tons of pecans each year. That wasn't the last lightening strikes we've had but it was the worse. Jessie USA
Nice gardening

Question too I’m havnt had luck with rosemary in ground or pot what should I do??
My dad always says that chickens never hatch in thunderstorm. The thunderstorms apparently kill the birds
The house looks huge.
Put under net cedar chip and neem meal with mint they bug less. I experiment.
Baby quail can't get wet storm or stress it knocks them out really bad.
Hellooo Mahk ! I'm writing from south-west Europe quite a bit aways and NOT sub-tropical ! I'm amazed at the variety you grow and produce in your garden and you've mentioned being keen on variety and ready trying out new things. I agree and thin that is the main key to a successful garden. It is such a pleasure to watch plants thrive under our controlled care ! We are planning to install a hothouse this winter (december-mid February) and I've started to think about sharing our plot of about 4000 square meters with some … Take a guess … Raised beds ! We've always raised our veg strait from the earth no compost but things are changing with us being the 'new generation' on the plot. I see much of the sense in the RBs. However for next year the hothouse will be a real revolution in our garden. I'm probably going to add one RB as a test and keep the rest on traditional production, mainly for the tomatoes beans on trellis and corn. We've been working on different composts and mulches in preparation for next year and also completely covered the garden plot against weeds. I very much enjoy ALL of your videos I've seen and really hope you are having as much fun makin' em as I am watchin' em ! Best regards !
Nice

Baby birds can not get wet or they will die.they cannot maintain their own inner core temperature. If rain blew in somehow and they got wet… that may have caused them all to die. Don't know…this may not apply in your case.
Hello Mark.
I am wayne from South Africa kwa-Zulu natal. Look your YouTube video and I have also subscribed to your channel. Keep up the good work
I have to admit, I didn't expect Lady Gaga music as a video opening.
With such the garden, how do you keep up with the chores of maintenance
I'm curious how and what you clean your tools with as to not spread possible contaminants
On this video hearing you say you didn't realize how long it took to grow that veggie… exactly! To grow a garden is allot of planning and timing. People don't realize some prices at stores are results of long growth times and tlc. If some "I want it now" had to provide their food, they might appreciate any farmer and not criticize the back yard gardener
Loving the tour of your slice of heaven. The go-pro film is like watching The Blair Witch Project movie…lol . My Milo was doing summersults in my tummy. Thank you so much for all your time you Share with us.
Coming from the future, your veggie garden is almost unrecognizable. =D
You really have come a long way.
