Good suggestion James. Groovy hat!
I love what you have done with the food forest, very inspirational. Your progress is impressive, really enjoy your videos. Love Tuck! My fur-babies help in my garden too. Keep up the great work.
Hi, again, may I trouble you to put the link to the Rutgers University webpage you showed us into the video description box? Thanks!
Thank you for the advice James! I'll try this trick in my next planting season 🙂
Perfect to call variety picking a tool. Thankful you shared this!
nice work bro
Tudo muito fresco e lindo.
I’m doing the same thing this year, I’ve got a Granny Smith apple tree that isn’t doing good. So if not “out you go”
I want to see this man grow Cannabis lol
U Look like ur huckle berry FIn with the hat
Agreed, varieties make a huge difference. It is always a good idea to pick varieties that are adapted for your area and are resistant to pests.
One thing though, I would give the plants a couple years. Could have been a pest issue this year due to your weather but then not an issue next year. Next year your variety that is doing great this year could struggle. I like to wait 2 or so years to see how they do over that time period. Some varieties might also just take longer to get established and then do amazing.
Over and over I have seen plants that struggle for a couple years just take off once they get fully established. I have also seen plants do great one year and then not so good the next.
I had a some shrubs really struggle last year in my food forest. This year they grew over 4 feet and caught up with the ones that were doing good last year. I also had several that did great last year just all of a sudden die this year. Don't know why but this and other similar experiences have taught me that it takes a couple years to truly know how a plant will ultimately do.
Of course annual plants are a different story 🙂
My view is if the plant does not die then give it a shot. But if after a year or two it is still doing poorly then replace it.
One growing season is really not enough to know how a plant will do in the long run.
In the meantime just keep planting new areas while observing your older plants.
This was a very informative video James ! Thank you for this! I'll keep an eye on mine for those spots !
Do you grow mushroom?
If yes, please do share the video & tricks.
If not (yet), could you try to grow em, especially store bought ones?
Thank you
Awesome channel James! You are a inspiration to our family. My kids and I love watching you and Tuck foraging in your backyard paradise. Much thanks for all the organic wisdom and influence youmust be having on your subscribers and local community. If we all followed your path we would certainly be healthier and the earth would be a richer place. Never stop growing.
What was the variety that got the fungus?
Fantastic videos.. Really inspiring.
How is the Production now?
Hello James, i was wondering how to keep the snails slugs and birds away from the strawberries? Thanks
I love watching your videos, i have learned a lot from it, i love planting but i get frustrated when the outcome is not what i expected to be , but now with your expertise i'm learning…
where do you order your berry plants, and fruit trees? like those strawberries
This is the best advice I have gotten on my journey honestly. It’s difficult for me moving from zone 7 in Philly to zone 9 in Mississippi. I can grow things I’ve never dreamed of in the ground here but things I grew extremely well (like tomatoes) are on a totally different time line, with a totally different set of problems and insects! I learned the hard way, through experience- and I won’t be upset about that- because I learned and that’s what’s ultimately important. But doing the research saves a lot of extra heartache lol.

We got new fruit trees (pear, apples) and they were doing so well in the spring time, however come early June and we noticed orange spots on the leaves it turns out it's rust fungus? Any advise what should be done to get rid of it?
I have a question about some land I'm looking at buying.it was cleared off several years ago and has grown up with a lot of small trees and bushes.what would be your suggestions for cleaning up the area to start a fruit forest? I was thinking of Bush hogging the stuff down and sowing clover and dikon raddish?
I have squash bugs in my garden. I'm thinking of starting with wood chips, but I'm worried they will only harbor more squash bugs. Any thoughts?
Hey James, currently looking for some good varieties of fruit trees here in Jersey. Where did you buy your fruit trees? Thanks.
You provide valuable insights, James. You and Tuck are the perfect antidote to a stressful day.
