Peter has a magical Fruit Forest🥰 We love to visit him👍🏼 We are happy he treats his Durian the Malaysian way, tree ripen fresh Durian is the most amazing experience🤩

When I started watching your videos (30 day challenge,) I would watch on a tablet during a tea break in the garden, and they would get me all inspired to get back to 'work' quick-smart! ... Now when I see you (or Mel) have uploaded a video, I get excited and look forward to watching it, 'I will save that for later', because it is not tea break stuff anymore, it is stuff to fully immerse yourself in on a big screen and start propagating those Green Dreams! You have replaced TV!!! Not that I watched telly ... but now I have a reason to put the 'big screen' on of an evening! I am watching this one tonight, and looking forward to it with bells on!! This series is rocking the world! 🌱👊 Grow on GreenDreaming brother! 🙏

[@crystalpope2451]

This Costa Rican video series is extraordinarily beautiful. I've gotten bunches of ideas from it, from water features to build to exotic spices to try growing in my greenhouse. Thanks, Pete.

[@PeteKanarisGreenDreamsFL]

Crystal Pope the country is breathtaking! Glad you got some take aways :)

[@crystalpope2451]

I'm learning Permaculture principles and practices watching your videos. I just got 20 acres in the Willamette valley and I heard the word Permaculture for the first time last year as I was packing to move to Oregon from Alaska. As you might have guessed I have a lot to learn. This place has a lot of lawn but no food. I'm going to build a Permaculture Paradise here, thanks for sharing the knowledge.

[@PrinceCharmingNY]

me too ! so much inspiration

[@svarghese9424]

Very true and we feel so excited and glad

[@workshare9207]

In Malay language, the root word is 'PULAS' means 'Twist'. To eat it you'll need to use both of your hands holding the top and bottom of the fruit and twist to peel. That's why its called pulasan - the act of twisting. Rambutan root word is 'RAMBUT' means Hair therefore, rambutan means HAIRY. and DURIAN comes from the word 'DURI' means Thorn, therefore DURIAN means Thorny. The method to peel a mangosteen is not by peeling its skin but to simply hold the fruit in between the palm and clench it thus squeezing gently so that the fruit will naturally open to reveal its flesh. These fruits are seasonal. Nice vidz :-)

[@PeteKanarisGreenDreamsFL]

Thanks for the info!

[@TheKayaker71]

With a huge move in 2020 and much to learn about how to grow, harvest and reproduce my food - this series has been invaluable to me . NOW I know a good root stock for my black pepper ... and I know just the chef to supply it to in exchange for any barbacoa he makes! Thank you!!

I love this channel.i was shocked when he was talking about the yam and he said Micronesia 🇫🇲

[@PeteKanarisGreenDreamsFL]

Glad to hear you enjoy!

[@11219tt]

Consider purchasing a wireless microphone for your camera. Having the super cardioid shotgun is great but when you turn away we lose the voice. If your guests are up for wearing a lapel mic I think it would really free up the camera man to do more panoramic shots while the farmer is talking about the area.

[@PeteKanarisGreenDreamsFL]

11219tt yes we are looking into those. This trip was a real learning experience film wise, I used all types of new equipment. Just before leaving I bought the new rode video mic pro, it's great but yes only if it's pointed directly at its subject. It won't happen again:)

[@11219tt]

Pete Kanaris GreenDreamsFL I thought it sounded like a Røde mic. Dang! I should have mentioned that. lol that would have been spooky!

[@PeteKanarisGreenDreamsFL]

11219tt I'm stilling playing with the audio to be honest, I have the video micro now. The pro required a battery and being turned on and off. Not totally satisfied yet.

[@11219tt]

Pete Kanaris GreenDreamsFL right on. Yea I don’t know too much about video audio. I worked at guitar center for 2 years which is where I learned what I know. I spent the last 10 years working in a professional recording studio doing music, so my audio recording knowledge is huge :) I do think your video recording quality has gone up. I always like the drone birds eye stuff. Audio is a tricky one especially out in the field...anything can happen. Keep up the good work! And look forward to the future vids.
