A Food Forest garden is the epitome of food security. I don’t have to plant anything this year and I would still get food. Don’t get me wrong though I still am planting a lot, and today I want to show you what was 8 years ago just a regular suburban backyard.
Thanks for the kind words and support 😁🐕❤️

How do you protect young figs in your zone? I’m in the same zone and have a young one…. less than a year old. A fig Chicago hardy. Can I plant in ground?
Is it possible to grow food all year round?
How big is your garden?
great job mate, love your vegetarian dog , hello from Egypt
I grew up with aggressive gardening. We rarely needed anything from the store. When I saw permaculture I was eager to show my mother.
She was not as eager. I eventually saw the problem as well. To be part of a permanent system means its closed and complete. If you're adding constantly or subtracting its not permanent.
I've never seen a system that achieves anything close to self sufficientcy. Consistently these gardens aren't large enough nor do they produce bulk foods. I don't see how everything you want on the table is in the garden.
Obviously you will need areas for grains and potatoes. To survive solely on the garden requires much more but that is what make permaculture permaculture – not adding.
The huge failure of permaculture is under providing. There seems to be little organization in finding out how much you are trying to produce to completely satisfy your needs. Further even if one understood how many pounds of potatoes you need for the year there is no calculation for the human effort and time needed for harvest.
We want these kids today to be excited about adding 6 to 8 hours of work a day for harvesting and canning after they come home from a full day of work. Its one thing to enjoy fresh fruit but quite another to can a years supply.
For me the harvest in the fall is the hardest. Both picking and preserving a years supply in a matter of days. Permaculture understates the harvest labour issue.
Sorry I’m so late but happy birthday Tuck
Photo looks much prideful brother! We can be happy but not overloading ourselves about our little victories.. Pride is sin.
I love " our " Tuck. Love you and your wonderful garden.
garden looks so nice, gj
I’d like to start one but just don’t know where to begin
how much land are you working with, an acre? Love the video
Love your enthusiasm! Thank you for the videos!
what are you doing to keep your raspberries from spreading ?
Love your garden, love your video, love Tuck the most, just wish I could have a dog who will love carrots and work with me in my garden
Hello sir， Thank you for the show. I like watching it very much. Thank you
I've spent the last few years transitioning my tiny townhouse yard into a garden. When we bought the house it was jut a flat expanse of rough gravel without a single sign of life. It's taking longer than planned, but now we have bed built, wood chip paths, and some berry bushes (along with annuals every summer). I'm also gardening in containers on my deck. Thanks for all the inspiration!
Happy birthday tuck!
I so happy you have all those fruit and nut trees and grape vines and actually eat them. Around my area we have wild fruit and nut trees and some people have grapevine that other people planted it the past and they kind of treat them like nuisance plants in there yard .
Your garden makes me hungry
Tuck the nibbler!
We need to know mo on not spending money,lots of money on gardening, like every thing the Capitalist are trying to milk us dry on supplies, and supplements.
Ben Shapiro who hoops and gardens
Thanks James, I'm inspired
James speaks about a “pollinating tree” to plant with the fruit tree, can anyone explain what that means? Is there specific trees that act as pollinators that help the fruit trees?
Great content, too scripted
WOW WOW WOW !!!! James and Tuck!!! you did it again…. Perfect video documenting when things flower , bud , sprout, your shared growing philosophy. ONE QUESTION; HOW DO I SEND YOU PICTURES OF MY PHASE ONE FOOD GARDEN? i would love to show you what I have accomplished. Hugs to tuck. I am so much interested in getting a small dog. My friend keeps encouraging me to get a bigger dog< (shepherd, Lab, or golden retriever) A small dog like yours would wear me out. Planning on naming the dog BAILEY. ANY SUGGESTIONS . BTW the creator named them DOG because it's His Favorite. Spelled backwards DOG is GOD!!! Ha Ha Ha . I would like to know WY think.
P.S. James the dog Has to be smarter than me. Ha Ha
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TUCK!!!!
