Planting Jackfruit Seeds Right in the Ground

[@mindy779]

You and you wife are so funny. Reminds me how my mom and dad used to play that game too. LOL. Your baby is soooo cute too. 😃

[@heathermartin2878]

Love hearing the kids in the background.

[@kylep8304]

I have to say, I am impressed by how well Rachel can film while holding a baby.

[@danam2584]

Wow! A horse shoe! That's an amazing find. I'm excited to see what happens with those Jack fruits.

[@cherriemckinstry131]

Extra iron for the plants..my tomatoes did real well when I used an old radio tower to hold up my tomatoes.

[@ravenwolf7128]

OMG--Jasmine and I play "where should we put the ____ tree" all winter long. So funny. And a good luck horse shoe find--cool!

[@matthewkizziahcuzia...gott9632]

I just bought two more of your books. All I need now is the jack broccoli book.

[@NoNORADon911]

Just planted 50 JF right out of the fruit. Local Asian woman was kind enough to give me 2 fruits that were spoiling. Got 160 seeds. They cost $1 each on eBay

[@davidthegood]

SCORE

[@belle42]

Nice to see you and Rachel and Baby The Good. Must feel great to plant seeds on the new property!

[@ourselfreliantlife]

Great job with the jackfruit. You got to have just the right spot.

[@NS-pf2zc]

We play that game too! We finally scraped together money for a bunch of perennials. I don't want to put them in the wrong place! 😱

[@patsanzone8019]

That is my favorite shovel of all time . In my little circle of insane gardeners we call it a poaching shovel. Not sure if its the real name of the shovel , but its also great for poaching slivers of other peoples plants with very little disturbance . Not saying I know this first hand , but its a all around groovy shovel. Good luck on the trees.

[@mealbla7097]

Love seeing the kiddos

[@memiseburslem2559]

my favorite shovel. my mother called it the Sharpshooter.

[@Danfoodforest]

I play that game in my head all the time, Where to plant the seeds.😀

[@thomasreto2997]

No place like home! Really cool with the jackfruit seeds. My wife and I are going to Puna come April to check our land and relax...When cutting down the junk trees on the lot, after seeing you do that with the jackfruit seed, that’s what I might do...3 to 4 years to fruit....hmmm perfect timing when we move. Thank you😃🌈🤙

[@allanturpin2023]

It's so cute of Rachel to play the game where she pseudo gets to help decide where to plant. Is the top of the lot north?

[@davidthegood]

Yes, top is north.

[@ndlgarden]

This one (yellow) is a riped jackfruit and is eaten as a fruit. When it is unripe (white interior) it is used as a vegetable here in India. I like to eat it as fruit, it's so good.

[@davidthegood]

That is a good tip - thank you. I love the boiled seeds as well.

[@40rtypluss14]

I'm jealous you have worms where you are. I'm eagerly waiting for my first worm (not grub. We have plenty of those) that's not in my bins. I've planted multiple jackfruit from transplant and they bounced back rather quickly with some protection from the blistering sun.

[@Kat-mh5kj]

that is a convenient rock pile right there

[@ui5aakrit]

Hey so it’s been 5 months since you uploaded this video. So can you do an update video on how the jack fruits are doing so far. I too have recently (a month ago and a week ago) have planted seeds of jack fruit on their different stages ( some directly from the fruit, some from 1 week doing the paper towel rooting the seeds, and some after having almost 3 inches of roots from the seeds.) so i was wondering how yours are faring compared to mine and how would they eventually grow up to. Also, if u have any new videos that have glimpses of that jack fruit, i wud love to watch that too. Thanks in advance

[@davidthegood]

You can see them in my last video on food forest paths. They are growing, though slowly because it's been dry.

[@dylan8285]

another great game is where did i plant the one plant?

[@ui5aakrit]

Dylan : yeah that happens to me. After some time the place you dug and planted the seeds becomes totally camouflaged with the soil and i wonder did i plant my seed here or over there. Hmmm. It wud be great if i can identify the plant when the seed grows into one.

[@anitapaulsen3282]

What a beautiful baby.

[@itsmesrd8743]

Hey David and Rachel, how far north can Jackfruit grow? Sid

[@sdm9019]

I like that you scream out if they're dying and not go and see if there's something wrong lol 🤣🤣🤣

[@maxejnar9934]

big trees you should put one the north side of your property so they don't steal the light from smaller ones

[@leoruocco9128]

The glasses don't make you smart it's the hat that does it.

[@joshuayazzygirlunique-lega6045]

What ever happen to Jack fruits tree you never made a up date video on it, I really interested to know and Curious

[@davidthegood]

It grew to about 4' tall, then I moved over a thousand miles away.

[@manguydude287]

David, that could be a horseshoe from one of Cortez's armies!

[@Uncle_Buzz]

Jackfruit never rot, they just smell that way.

[@CorJenFarm]

How fast can a Jackfruit tree grow in that climate? I'm in Lakeland FL which is 9b, and this month (March) my Jackfruit from seed is exactly two years old and 15 feet tall. It doesn't do much in the winter but I thought this was pretty fast for being nearly dormant 3 months out of the year. This is recorded in my videos I have on youtube. I built a shower over it this year to freeze protect it but we didn't get any freezes so I didn't get to experiment with that.

[@lofenoialof5320]

Are you going to choose the strongest plant once they start to grow and remove the rest? Thanks

[@davidthegood]

Yes.

[@archenema6792]

I've had a can on my pantry shelf for 8 months whose label says "Green Jackfruit in Brine". It's still there because I've been terrified of what might crawl out if I open it. Can anyone tell me how fresh jackfruit tastes, and what to expect from the can?

[@wolf4076]

Mate, get yourself a crowbar and a long-handled post-hole spade... use the crowbar to break up the ground and then shovelling will be soooo much easier for you without bending your back. Trust me I hand-dug over a hundred postholes and holes for large trees in no time using this method.

[@zaneymay]

Lol! Same here.

[@theenlightenedfarmermr.dar6698]

I need a better way to identify cotyledons it takes me awhile figuring out what kind of fruit tree is sprouting.

[@WillWilsonII]

8:08 I DID tell you. You just weren't listening.

[@WillWilsonII]

They named it after Sean Patrick Hayes

[@jettyeddie_m9130]

Just acquired some free germplasm from the government, you should make a live chat about germplasms

[@ericstropicalparadise1935]

Aren’t you afraid a jaguar will come and eat you since that place is so jungly

[@danielallouche2493]

It would be wonderful adventure to hunt for buried treasure with a metal detector on your new land.

[@mrwilliams1848]

What no mulch? 😂

[@matthewkizziahcuzia...gott9632]

Maybe a donkey or mule shoe.
