I remember my Great Grandmother used every part of her yard to grow food She grew everything imaginable, fruit trees and just about any vegetable you could think of. She had this old dirt cellar that she did all her canning and the kegs of pickles that were delicious! I think what I miss is the time we spent together in the garden If you can get your kids involved, it not only introduces them to healthier eating, it brings you together as a family. Love your videos John, thanks for sharing!

John, I like this video. This is how I first found your videos. I searched for "Southern California" and "Exotic fruits", I have been watching your videos and I will keep watching. If you're looking for ideas for videos I wanted to suggest one, would you consider making a video and detailing which exotic fruit trees would fare better in subtropical areas such as Southern California? Maybe include topics like zone 9a/10a and which trees are possible with a little bit of care. Before I was searching all over the internet for trees that could thrive here (Even with a little bit of care for the frost/heat of a subtropical zone), now I am growing some of my own. Thanks John.

I live in South Georgia and I've know where there is a stand of persimmons growing in the wild. They aren't as big as the ones in the film but they do grow in an area which does get frost. The same with figs, which are quite popular around here. I do know that there are varieties of tropical fruit trees which will grow in this area, such as bananas and others you wouldn't think would given the frost. One just has to do their research and work to find them.

I know that from through the eighties and nineties as temperatures went up peach trees became less productive as the frost became less reliable, they need hard frosts to produce, and many orchards were shut down. But we are still in that in between kind of climate where the unexpected can grow and produce.

people should grow at least a dozen "food plants". There is so much waste from food going bad, to transportation , storage, labor etc... its such a waste. fruit trees grow pretty easy with little care. There are perennial greens you can use for spinach , lettuce etc. i grow %30 to %50 of my food and i live in the suburbs. The fruit is much better when it ripens on the tree and i eat varieties that taste better, rather than grown for production. Juju is easy to grow and very tasty and healthy. fig, pomegranate, white sapote, mulberry.. will all grow to at least zone 8.

@ppitt515011 жыл бұрын
When you get ready to plant a fruit tree, you mentioned putting nutrients and compost in the ground. My question is should you try to anticipate how far the roots will spread out in the future and prepare that soil as well right now so that when the roots eventually grow out that far, that they will have the rock dust, worm castings etc. already waiting for them, or are you just wasting your time and money because the nutrients will have already leached out.

I've tried the brown sugar fruit/ sapodilla, and I didn't think they tasted anything like brown sugar. Its hard to explain it, but I thought It had an amazing flavor. I was really suprised.

Turf grass is a pet peeve of mine. Someone once called turf grass the biggest waste of fresh water on the planet. In our town in So. Florida we are REQUIRED to maintain a lawn in the front yard. This really bugs me as where I live (27 yrs) is known as Oak Hammock. We have beautiful stands of Live Oaks, Water Oaks, Wild Olive, Slash pine and other native species. Grass does NOT grow well under these trees and sprinkling stresses the trees, from too much water. Otherwise we have a Xeriscape yard.
