Food Forest August Tour With Marie Currie

[@giantdormouse]

I never knock the volunteers! They're the only crops I can rely on! Where on earth do you get a thornless gooseberry? Jaws's dream come true! As for the apricot tree - I once bought one - but nothing came of it and it died. The most successful ones I have seen grown over here are grown as an espalier against a wall and because they blossom early and are susceptible to frost damage, they are often shielded from the frost by having a perspex screen in front of them! They're not reliable croppers anyway, so one year you might get a good crop and then the next, hardly any. Those lilies are stunning, Ryan. The elderberry will indeed grow very big, definitely bigger than 6 x 6 if you let it! I love it - like Marie said it offers so much - soft drinks, jellies, and not forgetting food for the birds! Great to see your natural food forest and lovely to listen to you and Marie chatting so enthusiastically, naturally and knowledgeably! A big thumbs up! All the best, Mike.

Lol, I think you have a few things other than volunteers! I got those gooseberries from a local nursery. Want me to try some cutting and send them?? I have heard they are not great croppers and every 5 years they are plentiful. I have a few things that will need shifting, but wanted to get them started up front. Any time with like minded folks is truly a great time:)))

Nice to see you both enjoying your garden Ryan. Lily's look great and are my other halfs favourite flower. ♻️Happy Gardening........🌻Terry King 🥒

[@Mrsnufleupagus]

Thanks Terry, always nice to spent time with like minded folks:))

[@HortiHugo]

Lovely review of the front yard food forest, and yes, there’s no messing with those sea buckthorns ! Great to catch up with things there, hope everyone is well 😊👍🏼

[@Mrsnufleupagus]

Hey buddy!! Thanks pal, things are good here, hope you are well:))

[@mariecurrie7657]

What a wonderful walk down memory lane. I laughed so hard, I had tears. Such a fabulous day. We've so got to do it again. Soon!

[@Mrsnufleupagus]

Standing invite pal!! Any time you have and are willing to hang out I am in:))

[@SouthernCountryLiving]

I gave my sunflowers to the squirrels, they really enjoyed them. Have a great weekend... Calvin and Marie

[@Mrsnufleupagus]

I bet they did!! And I bet they planted a few for you for next year:))

[@chelinfusco6403]

What a lovely lady Marie is. Thank you for introducing her. Your food forest is no longer a forest but a jungle my friend. It shows how busy you've been. I really enjoyed the video and tour. However, dude, what does your shirt says? You wore it on the last food forest tour and for the life of me I couldn't read past 'gourd'. So I ask you once more, if you don't mind, what does it says? Thank you and I look forward to next video. ;-)

[@Mrsnufleupagus]

Absolutely awesome person!! Hehe it is a bit wild!! I answered that and sent you a link to the song the last time you asked!! Perhaps you didn't see my reply! And to think you thought I didn't reply to a direct question from one of my awesome friends...pfft:))))

[@KellysKitchenGarden]

Oh I loved listening to you guys. The food forest is awesome! 😊🌱

[@Mrsnufleupagus]

I could hang out with that woman everyday!!! Just awesome:))

[@threethousandpercent7919]

Wonderful to see Marie there with you, sharing your garden tour. I'd no idea Apricot would survive such a cold climate, how lovely to have those. The Lilies are spectacular, beautiful colours. Elderberry grows alongside the brambles here, in hedgerows, tough as old boots. The mulching you did has certainly helped keep the plants happy and the weeds down. Such a hearty garden and I bet the pollinators love it. Do you see many Butterflies in your region?

[@Mrsnufleupagus]

So much fun hanging out with her again! We don't tend to see a lot of them, but there are a few around:))

[@LearningCurveAcres]

What a wonderful visit with Marie Currie! She's such a wealth of knowledge. Love your food forest, it's just a little on the wild side, which I love. Take care my friend - Marcie

[@Mrsnufleupagus]

Such a great day!! Now to edit the farm part lol:)))

[@SouthpawDavey]

Nice to see Marie. Try saying yellow Yarrow over and over after a beer ;-) The food forest has kicked off. There are Elderberry trees across from my place. Wonder how hard to grow from seed. Right just been and got some ripe elderberry fruit tell Marie. If she wants them I will dry them and send them over ;-)

[@Mrsnufleupagus]

Haha, I can say most things after a few beers pal!! I'm sure she would be interested man:))

[@SouthpawDavey]

@@Mrsnufleupagus I got the berries here.

[@mariecurrie7657]

@@SouthpawDavey That's a very kind offer Dave! I'd love to have some of the berries. Let me know how to get in touch. Thank you so much 😎😊👍

[@debgarnett2468]

Throw a few in for me as well please. I have two of our Elderberry but always wondered about the Europeans as well.

[@SouthpawDavey]

@@debgarnett2468 I can do that If I send them to you with the chili can you pass some on to Marie. Is there anything else you have seen in the vids you might like some seed from? The Korean Mellon are good. I have or am saving seed from any heirlooms I grown and like. From the biggest fruits hoping the genetics carry over.

[@gretasgarden]

Wonderful to see you and Marie having fun together. Nice tour and beautiful lilies!

[@Mrsnufleupagus]

So darn easy to spend time with her!! Great visit:))

[@PrairiePlantgirl]

I believe PPG does have one of those Romeo Cherries 🙂. I did not know you could grow apricots in zone 3. You have so many beautiful plants in your yard. Gorgeous yellow lily. Those buckthorn do get big and thorny. My parents have them lining the drive to the farm.

[@Mrsnufleupagus]

Lol, I can grow the tree, not the fruit!! I need to judiciously prune those back! Thanks PPG, Those sea buckthorn will be finding a new home soon:))

[@UT33200]

Really great share you two. Love exploring the gardens and yards of good friends. Every plant that is thriving there without assistance in the northern zone is a powerhouse for sure. Thanks for the share!

[@Mrsnufleupagus]

She is so easy to spend time with!! If those plants can live here, they can live anywhere:))

[@bethanskitchengarden]

Great tour of your food farm Ryan, really good to see you chuckling away with Marie 😊

[@Mrsnufleupagus]

She is so darn easy to hang out with, it was an awesome day:))

[@DaelithTN]

Lovely chaos! 😁 Very nice to meet Marie.

[@Mrsnufleupagus]

Hehehe me likey chaos;))

[@vickyvango634]

Great meet up!! Your lillies are amazing! Your yard really has become a forest!

[@Mrsnufleupagus]

When are you coming for a tour?? Van's are allowed here you know, lol:)))

[@NicksAllotmentDiary]

Now I’ve been having a bit of a Ryanfest this morning. Catching up with three of your videos 😄. It was great to have a tour with the wonderful Marie. Everything is looking so exuberant! Not surprising because you’ve been so busy. Like the mini sunflower forest. That’s your entry for the #SunflowerChallenge2019 then😄 ? Will be brilliant to see the tour of the farm too. Take care. Nick

[@Mrsnufleupagus]

Dude, you will get sick of me quick at this rate!!! So fun to hang with Marie, she was a huge help and the conversation was fantastic:))

[@bevklassen364]

Such a beautiful yard! The lilies are gorgeous! Hope Market goes well! 💚💕❤️💙💛💜from us2

[@VeggieBackGarden]

Great to have a little update to see how your front garden is getting on - you know I love the 'spontaneity' of the planting within it. Marie certainly knows her stuff - so thanks for introducing me to a new gardening channel, I'm going to dive over to her place now. All the best ........ Kevin

[@Mrsnufleupagus]

A year of neglect!! Imagine if I neglected a lawn like that? This is so much better:))) You will love her yard band plot buddy, tis a thing of beauty:))

[@PappysCorner]

Awe.!!.. the maintenance free yard... Lol ...Even that's a lot of work. Nice Lilly's and bit of a tour Thank You Pal.!!!

[@Mrsnufleupagus]

Duder, I have put less than 10 honest hours out there this year!!!! This permaculture system is blowing my mind:)))

[@PappysCorner]

Lol... You trained it and whipped it into submission.!!

[@briansgardenandpolytunnel8172]

apricot trees are bearers of stoned fruit. ( no. they don't smoke the grass. lol ) this means any pruning is done in the summer.( usually after fruiting ) woody IS , in my books, the master of fruit trees ( and i don't say that lightly. ) the european elder can grow to fifteen feet if you don't keep it in check.. this was a good collaboration, ryan............................brian

[@Mrsnufleupagus]

I need to work with Woody, I know nothing about pruning!! I may be moving those elders, lol:))

[@BenniLkitchengarden]

Amazing to see you together, Ryan and Marie. Nice chat in the front yard. Beautiful lilies👍 and I envy you the apricot trees. I want apricot in my garden. Have a nice day you two in the market garden too.

[@Mrsnufleupagus]

This is the third time I have had the good fortune to spend time with Marie, and it was awesome!!

[@EssayonsFG]

Awesome collaborative tour Ryan. Marie is such a intelligent and lovely gardener to hear you having a discussion with. Looking forward to seeing you both at the market garden. Cheers, Rob

[@Mrsnufleupagus]

Never aa dull conversation with that amazing person:)))

[@PetalsonthePavingSlabs]

Great tour this, really nice to hear you both chatting away about garden stuff. I look forward to seeing what you film at the farm too!

[@Mrsnufleupagus]

Thanks Stew, we had a blast!!!

[@SouthernFoodJunkie]

The food forest is looking rad man. Nice cameo guest, you had today.

[@Mrsnufleupagus]

Thanks Ronnie, it was a great visit:))

[@babetteisinthegarden6920]

So nice to have company with me:))

[@kjellsoderlund5405]

Wow, u have an awesome forest.

[@Mrsnufleupagus]

Thanks min vån:))💛🇸🇪

[@trollforge]

Wow! Awesome! Great to see you two together!

[@Mrsnufleupagus]

So much fun Forgey!!! If I ever come out that way, I'd love to see your place:)))

[@trollforge]

@@Mrsnufleupagus you know you've got a place to crash here if you and your wife ever make it this far east!

[@Mrsnufleupagus]

Haha, it would be me pal, and maybe Willie on a cross Canada Garden Extravaganza!!

[@trollforge]

Farm Out!!!

[@debgarnett2468]

Gee, which house is Ryan's? Nice you got to go visit him Marie. We saw some small, but mature female sea buck, slipping into the river last night, we plan to go back for today.

[@mariecurrie7657]

Well, let's say that I didn't have any problem finding Ryan's place among the manicured lawns. 💚🌿😄 It's absolutely magical & a real testament to his energy & creative nature.

[@Mrsnufleupagus]

Haha people don't understand until they get here!!! It kinda stands out:))) Bring your camera pal, sounds like an adventure to me:))

[@debgarnett2468]

A little dirt never hurt -- well, I bet you could spot my yard from a distance as well. We are a strange and wonderful breed.

[@thelittlefarmersfarm5706]

Thanks for introducing Marie to me Ry... Just Subbed her mate... Great garden tour BTW... Move over John Choler

[@Mrsnufleupagus]

Thanks brother!! She is awesome and has a boat load of knowledge:)) Lol, I wish, he is kind of a big deal:))

[@bfrommars]

Great tour, you have lots going on there, I hope to save seeds from the Red Orach, it's my first year growing it so it's great to know that it self seeds.

[@Mrsnufleupagus]

Thanks my friend! If you just let the seeds mature on the stalk, wait until the paper like coating is dry and brown. It's very noticeable. If you just leave them, the wind will plant them for you for next year......in abundance:)))))

[@LostOnLandAgain]

So pretty!

[@Mrsnufleupagus]

Totally agree!! How about the yard??

[@DigwellGreenfingers]

Nice one Ryan - hello Marie! A lovely meet up. Is there anyone left in Canada that you have not interviewed? LOL Steve

[@Mrsnufleupagus]

Only 2 Steve, but I'm getting to them:))

@@Mrsnufleupagus LOL 🙂

Hey Ryan and the lovely Marie Currie 😁👍 see there is a lot of “fisting” going on in your comments doll 😉🤣. Ryan sunflowers are beautiful no matter the size, little pops of sunshine they are and you got them free🌻😁. Who cares about the weeds, its normal and looks better than pristine as far as I’m concerned 😉 smashing update hunny 😁 big hugs to you both 🤗💐 x

Lol, yes there does Clarice:)))😂😂😂I hope I have some flowers on them, sure would look nice! You are welcome any time my friend:))
