OMG! why is your dog so damn cute?!! T^Tm <–clenched fist
Ha, never thought the dog would eat the cucumelon
Goji is more of a food you’d dry and put into soups and porridge’s. They’re for healthy eating/helps with immune system. So yeah
Aronia grow as ornamentals in my local park. I pick a ton every year. I don't think they taste that bad at all. If you eat them when they are ripe, they are not so astringent. The benefits are worth it for me.
I just love our intros! They make me smile. Thank you for the information.
The goji berries in this video variety has broad leaves and huge leaves, it is the variety that we use the leaves (to make soup), it has less berries , maybe less than 30 berries per year and the goji is super bitter. The goji berries we grow for berries is a different variety of the goji berries and it sweet like honey but bitter after taste ( the leave is sharp)
Aronia berries are a really common landscaping bush here in Finland. They are beautiful and easy to care for. They are hardy even in cold winters. We don't plant them in our garden because they are so easy to find everywhere. We forage them from park hedges. The whole fresh berry is not good, but is good cooked and diluted. Mixed with apple juice or they make nice lemonade, using about 1 c of juice for a pitcher. They also make nice hot tea/ juice for winter with lemon and honey. We also use the whole berries pureed in a apple-berry jam.
Try goji Berry leaves (young leaves), you can stir fry them the same way as Asian greens.
Autumn olive is invasive in my state. Still want to try their berries, though. Seems to be a lot of berries you don't like lol
From your video, I’ve just found out what a friend gave me to eat when I had a low blood sugar episode in a very warm environment.
The ground cherries helped me feel much revived within 15 to 20 minutes.
It was enough for me to carry on until we were done, and I got some much needed rest and restoration over the next few days.
I’m going to be planting ground cherries, ASAP!
I want to plant figs in pots as well and want to know what is the best size where I don’t need to transplant. Thank you!
This is the kind of guy you want to go shot for shot with at a party.
Love Tuck
The snake cucumber is very hard to plant but taste very good. You should plant snake cucumber.
Born and raised on the garden , thats a good boiii
Nice to see your video.. You kept making videos like this so that people get encouraged. You have been making videos like this, it is good to see the videos you have made. Thank you for making your video.

Hi, how do you keep Tuck from peeing on your vegetable? Honest question because I have a small dog that likes to P on everything.
Great channel
Hi I'm from Nepal and its very interesting to watch your videos. Non of the berries you mentioned in your video did I know about. You have a huge space and a lot of plants I must say.
WHAT KIND OF DOG IS THIS??? HE IS SO CUTE!!!
Yo just a quick question. Can you grow something like ground cherries upside down, so that when they do fall down, they can fall into a collection tray or something of the sort.
I would love to visit your garden love from Indonesia
Hi James. I trust your experience about these undesirable crops but I just disagree with you about the Kohlrabi. This is the only brassica that would grow in my garden anyways. You must try it raw, with a light seasoning of lemon, salt and pepper. Or grated for a salad. I tried to lactoferment it (just like sauerkraut), but it ended up too soft. It's really a sweet, tender product you should try again. By the way, I love cabbage but could never get along with kale, be it raw, braised or souped (didn't try the chips though). Of course, as we say in French: of tastes and colors we do not dispute. Thanks for all your shared experiments.
I love Tuck! I cant not smile when I see him.
