How do you like the gojis after a few years now? I've stuck with goumi. I've been hesitant on the goji.

[@houghy76]

I live in county Durham (literally on the Northumberland border). I'm just starting out,but have goji seeds growing. I was lazy and planted in clumps as I didn't clean the seeds. I have over 100 seedlings. Haven't managed to get pomegranate to germinate yet, but I enjoy eating them so take a few seeds from each fruit. Time will tell. I'm also growing peanuts straight from the raw peanuts bought in supermarket. I went a little over the top with those too. I have around 35 peanut seedlings. I've ordered some full spectrum grow lights for the winter months and plan to convert one of the spare bedrooms into a grow room. Should be fun

Moved into an old urban house last year that had Strawberries and Raspberries overgrown in the tiny back garden. Cut them all back last autumn and this summer I have had a wonderful time harvesting beautiful big juicy raspberries and strawberries all summer. Really hoping I can add a lot more to my tiny urban yard this autumn!

You should try Meyers Lemon. They are extremely hardy. My father grew one in the Mojave desert where it gets 120 to minus ten Fahrenheit. He planted in next to the trash cans in a narrow side yard of the house where it had walls on three sides with a Southern exposure. It was sheltered from the wind as much as possible but it was out in the open. My father had a minor in horticulture but the only thing besides the routine fertilizer the whole yard got that he gave it was coffees grounds and and bones but when it got yellow tips on the leaves because it had exhausted the iron in the soil because it was a heavy feeder he would give it mircle gro and the leaves would snap back to jade green.

[@bakmaratya1963]

Not trying to belittle your enthusiasm but meyer lemons cant take more than 15-18F (minus5-minus 9C) for a few hours they die if its colder. Can you send videos of that tree? That would be a scientific breakthrough if that really existed

Great video...if one is in the subtropical USDA zone 8A of Devon ;) Hardly a "cold climate" A cold climate is Canadian zone 5A, -23 C to -26 C on average! I am at the northern edge of hardiness for my Navaho thornless blackberry, which need a townhouse between it and the north wind of winter, and certain mallow family members. My Issai hardy kiwi is partly protected by a half wall on the north side of the townhouse. I am growing 3 saskatoon berry bushes in large containers in the protected back garden, and a josta berry bush. Microclimates seem critical in colder hardiness zones, as well as growing perma crops that tolerate shade to part shade.

[@homegardens7682]

Greetings. Yes indeed, the term cold climate is definitely all relative. Here is Essex UK (a different part of the UK from Devon) it has got down to minus six degrees c in recent years and as cold as minus 10. Ultimately most of the fruits I am growing here are "cold climate" crops as opposed to hot climate crops such as Mangos, papaya , bananas etc.

Your garden looks amazing! I can see you put a lot of hard work into it and it really shows in your plants.

A couple of calamondin oranges, variegated pink lemon, regular lemon, sugar cane, banana, passion fruit, Most of the greenhouse stuff is still too young to fruit. Except for the calamondins which made lots of fruit last year and we made marmalade. I enjoyed this video as usual and say persimmon however you like.

Hey I just saw your video and I live in Canada where it gets negative weather most of the year I was wondering what fruits and vegetables to grow outdoors and harvest in my climate of Ontario Canada

Hello there. I had a quick look on the Internet and there appears to be plenty of fruit one can grow in Ontario. Maybe a trip to a local fruit farm etc could be good and you could see what varieties they are growing. Regarding vegetables I would guess cabbage, cauliflower, Kale etc could be good as generally very cold hardy.

I don't eat much fruit, but I love working with it -from growing to preserving and cooking. I have a ridiculous amount in my garden - my neighbour remarked it was looking 'very green' the other day. I can just about walk up to the line. You have so much there, Dan and the tree yields are impressive. I was surprised to see Lord Napier carrying fruit at this early stage. Do you have people around who would preserve some of the crop for you in return for a share? I am sure with working and the gardens, you have little time left over, but that amount could last you year to year in an ideal world. I hope the heat hasn't been too punishing there, it has been so bad here that I cheated and went to bed 'Siestas' for me.

I like Gala apples and I have a space near a north east facing fence, which gets about 4 hours sun a day - do you think that would be enough or would the fruits end up sour? The soil is acidic (neighbours' oak trees drop plenty of leaves). What do you think? By the way, I tasted Pac Choi for the first time yesterday. Didn't like the leaves raw, but tried steaming them for a few mins and quite liked them. When cooked they taste a bit like spinach, but milder.

[@homegardens7682]

[@annecy9280]

Wow super impressive, in heated greenhouse or conservatory?

[@habidasukshishadkhar4379]

Wow I want that kind of garden but too sad it's too cold here

[@ravendiva9203]

I’m moving to Northern Ireland, which I love very much and which has a better growing climate than where I am now (Ontario), but in my heart of hearts I want to grow jack fruit, bread fruit, dates, bananas, and durian. 😜😭😭😭

After growing up in Canada, I’ve had enuf apples, pears, and dare I say strawberries. all berries for that matter! I want mangos and papaya!!

[@SolutionsWithin]

But I don’t want to move to some Caribbean island. Lol

[@homegardens7682]

Indeed! The challenges of growing in cooler climates!

[@homegardens7682]

Cheers.

Ditch the background music. It's annoying, distracting and totally unnecessary.

Christ you’re in Essex 🙀🙀 So am I and I’ve been wanting to grow fruit for years but never actually had the balls to try it, or space tbh. How much space have u got there? Looks totally insane. I saw a video today of all the chemicals used in mass produced fruit that the vile supermarkets import here and it just sickens me. How are u starting a peach and plum tree? I know u can purchase already half grown trees etc. Do u eat all the fruit yourself?

[@homegardens7682]

Yes, I eat most of it. Give some away as well.

[@Rick_Sanchez_C137_]

My only problem, I have to fence out moose and bear or any fruit trees I plant will get massacred. I’ve witnessed two juvenile black bears take half the branches off a plum tree just as the crop was becoming ripe…. was told by the owner that the bears destroy the tree about every third year the exact same way…. Imagine a fifteen year old tree still not above the six foot height because of repeated onslaughts… EDIT: It isn’t blackbirds eating the wild blueberries on my property. lol

@@homegardens7682 my retirement property is in Alaska, and my retirement should be complete within eighteen months (hard to gage, there is a disability claim involved that screws up the timeline, taking the timeline out of my hands and putting it in the hands of two government agencies).

Its an odd video to be getting information on lorry driver shortages...

Growing our own where possible is great,local orchards are brilliant but sadly not so many of them now.
