[@simplyharmoniousyoga]

My husband and I had the privilege of meeting and talking with these wonderful people for some time and we are so happy that people like themselves are doing such amazing things! We gained so much just from talking to them.

[@MsWatchdog]

wow gurl I wish I could have neighbours like or people like that in the community, they are so helpful and I would have jumped to the chance to learn from them

[@sellingroanoke]

You can see the love for what they do in their faces as they talk. Very inspirational.

[@pietervanderwesthuizen2319]

That was the first thing I observed as well.

[@vidyajay30]

Classical examples of "Sustainability" - using & improvising what is already available to you instead of buying endlessly. Love the fact that they try growing new fruits / veges. Inspiration to all !! Happy gardening all.

[@lathaachanta7578]

love the phrase "world is together now"

[@sandeeppaniken6227]

Really Appreciate this Couple. Excellent in keeping the nature close even they are far from Mother India 🙏🚩😊

[@JT-xt8bh]

Such a beautiful Couple doing an Awesome job in their garden 👍

[@briananderson2219]

This might be one of the best videos I’ve seen in a minute! When she said I never tried broccoli before I fell out! Sure do love the Indian people they are what I feel Americans aspire to be

[@Rk-kk2jy]

Nice to see your backyard garden with plants like curry leaves, Rangoon creeper, Neem tree, custard apple in Central Texas. Loved to see your garden.

[@plantabundance]

That's a great looking food forest! Love it!

[@mihirm3632]

Great to see them growing our South Indian vegetables and fruits there

[@MsWatchdog]

I can remember my mother's garden, it was a jungle haven! she had all sorts of plants growing and she just loved to cook her veg! I can remember starting growing my own flowers and herbs and my mum would come round so excited, like as if I had given birth to one..lol, but seeing all these flowers and the way they have made such a small garden into pure natural beauty just reminds me of my mothers home.

[@Justanurse357]

They ooze their gardening passion which is so beautiful. They are well on their way to being centurions one day. Thank you for sharing your love.

[@Ash-xx5zd]

Their passion for nature and joy of their garden is so clear. I wish I could see how he is composting! Beautiful yard and absolutely fun to see all the different fruits and vegetables they have!

[@gergc36]

I’m trying my hand at pineapple guava, guava, cherimoya, and atemoya here in San Antonio. This video has inspired me. I believe it can be done now!

[@quantumbloomfamily]

Thank you for encouraging gardening KZbinrs such as myself, especially new ones.

[@sashxG]

This is awesome! I remember eating custard apple as a child, it was soo good :D

[@theblueoceanwashedawaymypa3774]

Sasha Gonsalves yes it is. I wish I could grow it here 😭😭😭

Thanks for your sharing, is the sweet tiny melon 6:44 is Dosakai? thanks

[@mmangla5575]

Thank you for the information

[@theblueoceanwashedawaymypa3774]

They are so lucky to be able to grow all these delicious fruit trees. The "Egyptian spinach" is molochaya.

[@Jamie-qs2vv]

They’re too cute ❤️

[@jennykirchner9989]

1.54, its called a fejoia and yes lucky to find it, im not sure why, plentiful in New Zealand, makes good jam, chutney and lovely fresh when in season, can be kept smallish shrub or hedge.

[@carlac.8316]

Thank you! Very insightful.

[@DiegoMartinPintos]

[@vickyhv89]

My favorite video, I can literally taste it 🤤🤤

[@aliciasmith1832]

Wow so many plants

[@benaraujo6947]

Great video.

[@BrandonLandon21]

Nice gardening!! I want some vegan curry Dishes!!

[@rmehta13]

All curries can be made vegan , if you use oil/ vegan butter instead of ghee, tofu instead of paneer , soy milk instead of milk , you get the idea. Search "VeganRicha.com" has vegan recipes.

[@dickiesmallworth631]

That was just a sampling of the things you can grow that thrive here in Central Texas. The one thing I did not see what Phalsa (Grewia asiatica) which absolutely thrives and makes wonderful tart berries similar to blueberries. It is from India.

[@CentralTexasGardener]

Will check that out! Sounds wonderful!

[@qasimali32]

BTW I am growing that in North California and it is doing pretty good

[@garukoe]

I read that it'd be wiser for environment to only plant the native plants 🌱, which these couple do. The local fruits and flowers and herbs they mentioned sound amazing.There's apparently a good book on the merit of planting native plants, titled Bringing Nature Home by Douglas W. Tallamy. Will look to it soon.

[@jeremydoe6124]

This brought me to tears

[@elenap3096]

Very inspiring!

[@manjushreetsl2531]

❤️ From Toronto to this couple.

[@CentralTexasGardener]

Thanks for being on the CTG team! I got to visit Toronto a few years ago and was totally in love with it.

[@grannybee6805]

Very interesting. We have eaten the lambs' quarters and love them.

[@hiphophomesteading3650]

Awesome video and amazing food forest!

[@xyzllii]

Lovely knowledge based couple..great.

[@sweetwoodruff6246]

What is the small wild melon they found? It sounds wonderful.

[@rockypluto2683]

South Indians call it "Dosakai."

[@VenkateshVenkysmart]

a family of cucumber

[@lovetheland4606]

Beautiful...

[@ram_kandula]

I see 90% of the backyards in Austin and central Texas are just grass and dry. And I heard from everyone that soil in Austin doesn’t allow you to grow anything. I am surprised how they can grow? Did they used lot of top soil ? How to meet them or contact them ?

[@samuelwilliams7331]

I better dinner at their place is magnificent.

[@NeelamSharma-vl1il]

[@SuperSk1970]

[@sridharatviem5136]

Is there any alloance for taking seeds of fruit/ vegetables from one country to another

[@sadhsuhel]

2.20 Custard Apple is Sadifa/sarifa (शरीफा) not sitafal, sitafal is Pumpkin kinda thing.

[@Oliver-pl5sk]

Well, as you call it Sadifa in Northern India, in south it's called Sitaphal. If you say Sadifa/sarifa in south, ppl will go what in the world is it?

[@suvakashdey6701]

We call it sitafal in central india.
