NO ANNUALS! Planting Edible Perennials In My Vegetable Garden - Food Forest

In this particular video I decide to only plant perennial crops into my vegetable garden... that will come back year after year and start to create a mini food forest.

I mean to tell you!! I can’t keep up. I’ve followed her for years and she gives me such hope. I love the adventures she takes us on her voice soothing! She’s why I started growing anything that you can kill so easy. Live and learn. It’s so peaceful and joyful just like her and her videos. Thank you for you comment 🫶🏼

Thanks Craig 😁♥️

[@janetfolkerts5827]

Keep in mind your almond and apple, and peach trees get large, very large and will provide shade to whatever is under or near. So think ahead of what is planted now that will come back annually and possibly be in the shade. Your garden is lovely, and gardening is truly a labor of love. I'm glad the butterflies have found you, but beware, those little wasp are mean. Thank you for sharing.

[@GardenDayZ]

😊👍♥️

[@dawnleopold]

Ausia what beautiful oasis you have created. I wish I had the space for that big of a garden (I could use the exercise lol) I find gardening so relaxing and rewarding. With just having basic gardening skills I have a hard enough time keeping a cactus alive 😂

[@GardenDayZ]

Thanks ..lol 😆👍I agree with you it is relaxing and rewarding

[@marianneoshka7976]

Ausia you are an amazing person.. I love how you care for your gardens.. if I was younger .. yep I would be doing same .. but at this time I feel better doing my indoor plants 💞☀️my great grand babies help out.. special times ❤️🥰❤️🍓💯

[@GardenDayZ]

Thanks ...that's awesome 😁 👍 ♥️

[@albertarose1433]

Really enjoying this new channel Ausia. I’m a pretty novice gardener so I love how you walk us through what you’re doing. Thanks! ❤

[@GardenDayZ]

Awesome! Thank you! ☺️ 👍♥️

[@glensmith9814]

I really love your garden! It seems very whimsical. The wind chimes, drift wood fences and different rock lined beds make for a very informal feel. Great job 👍 I think I would keep that back fence natural though. It seems (on camera that is) to be aging really pretty. Great video

[@GardenDayZ]

Thank you so much! 😁 👍♥️

The garden looks great🍓🫐❤

[@GardenDayZ]

Thanks y'all 😁♥️🧡💛💚💙

Thanks 😁 ♥️

[@MariaCierra-k9d]

This was so relaxing to watch. I wish I could be working out on a garden or yard. I love to feel mother earth on my hands, watering, cleaning up. Maybe when we move I'll have a yard to play in with plants and water. After all that work you did you should take you a shower and relax. You did a lot. Say hello to Moo Moo for you. Love you both. Oh, you mentioned wasps 😳I'm terrified of them after getting stung all over my face when I was a little girl. I run from them loll!

[@GardenDayZ]

Thanks 😁 🙏♥️ agreed it is relaxing to be in nature and the garden. Oh no that sounds horrible 😢

[@barbarasiders288]

Come help me and bring that hat. LOL

[@GardenDayZ]

Lol.. ut definitely helps with the sunburns. My neck was sore the other day when I forgot to put it on 🥵👍

[@justmejustme1245]

grapes would have done really well on your climbing trellis. I would have had to have planted tomatoes and bush green beans. Maybe a squash and some okra. They are not perineal but they is gooooood.

[@GardenDayZ]

😁👍♥️

[@njanderson4342]

My blueberries don't produce every year, but when they do it's a lot. My raspberries produce in the early summer and fall. Had to remove blackberries because they were invasive.

[@GardenDayZ]

Awesome.. thanks for sharing 😁👍♥️

[@lorip2109]

Even though we live in different growing zones, I learn from Garden DayZ and get creative ideas from you. Thank you!

[@GardenDayZ]

Awesome and thanks 😊 🙏 ♥️

I find Honeysuckle vine and Trumpet vine work well year round and nice flowers. Love it when the herbs return on their own!

[@GardenDayZ]

😁👍♥️

[@lesliekendall5668]

Yes, have a shallow bowl of water always available and not only for the birds but you'll see bees drinking from them, too.

Hi Ausia, Things really are looking so nice and so do you. I Love your hat, it has such a Southern Charm to it. Your friend, Louise

[@GardenDayZ]

Thanks so much Louise 😁 🙏 ♥️

[@KraftyKaren-7]

I enjoyed these videos of working in your garden, I sure miss mine back in Oklahoma as I have moved back in Arizona with my daughter, they are just renting, hoping next year they will be in their own home and I can start up my new garden at my daughters new home. Hanks for sharing your videos of your garden. Can’t wait to see another one. Have a great rest of your day😊

[@GardenDayZ]

Thanks 🙏♥️ That would be awesome 😊👍

[@lesliekendall5668]

Perennial climber is Scarlet runner beans. Too tough to eat as a green bean but left on the vine until the pods dry out make an excellent dried bean for chili, etc.

[@GardenDayZ]

Cool thanks 😊 👍♥️

[@snowbirdgardener]

How about Arguta Kiwi or Scarlet Runner Beans on the trellis?

[@GardenDayZ]

Thanks 😁 ♥️

[@GardenDayZ]

Thank you so much Elisia 🤗🐶♥️

[@lesliekendall5668]

Check your zone but I just bought 2 dwarf black mulberries from Florida Hill Nursery. The trees get 35-50' tall but these super dwarfs only get 4-6' and can even be grown in containers. A sweet berry like raspberry and blackberry "with it's own unique touch" google says.

[@GardenDayZ]

Hmm 🤔 good to know.. thanks 🙏♥️

[@thekatzzzzzz]

I love watching you garden! A labor of love. I found a little spot to buy in Cochise county but I haven't finished paying it off yet. I look forward so much to gardening but in the meantime, I will garden vicariously through you. ::)

[@GardenDayZ]

Thanks 😁🙏❤️ ...That is awesome! Congrats 👍

[@thekatzzzzzz]

@@GardenDayZ Thank you!! :)

[@SAP64]

I have full confidence in your blueberries thriving this year. It's good to get things planted now while it's a little cooler. Are you going to plant any drought resistance perennial herbs?

[@GardenDayZ]

This is crazy but I have seen people return dead plants at the big box stores and get their money back. 😄 Haha

[@GardenDayZ]

Lol ☺️👍it's funny you say that because the lady at the garden center said I have a year to return any plant that I buy from there if it was to die 🤔

[@mikephillips3234]

Everything is looking beautiful! Alot of hard work I know. I just have one question. why are you planting your fruit trees in with the ground plants? when the trees get big they will shade everything out. I would think with the trees you would plant an orchard. thats just me thinking. maybe the fruit trees dont get as big where you are. I know climates are different.

[@GardenDayZ]

Thanks.. yes you're right they probably won't get as big and I'll keep it smaller for easier harvesting 😁👍

[@nancymedeiros5268]

I can't wait until you can make a strawberry short cake 😋 ❤

[@GardenDayZ]

[@jackie6582]

Oh yeah that’s the way to go love the plants that come back every year👍

[@GardenDayZ]

Definitely 😁❤️

[@cintiapollock2486]

Can persimmon's grow there? I have a fast growing persimmon's vine not tree, that grows fast, dies back in late fall and has beautiful big flowers and small to medium fruits on it in spring and late summer. It is a pretty green and has lovely shaped leaves and little tendrils that really help it to attach to arches and porches I love mine : )

[@GardenDayZ]

Possibly 🤔

[@deedeew4040]

I planted mint and thyme 12 years ago and every spring they grow into beautiful greenery. Also, I take some of my vegetables like green onions and plant them in the ground. Also, plant garlic. Your garden looks beautiful, Ausia.

[@GardenDayZ]

Thanks for sharing. I appreciate your comment 😊👍♥️

Give Moo Moo a big hug for me🤗❤️👋

[@lesliekendall5668]

The beautiful Monarch butterfly is like 99% gone because farmlands destroyed all the milkweed. Everyone needs to plant milkweed, milkweed, milkweed, as it's the only plant they'll lay their eggs on. I looked at the AZ milkweed recently because my sister lives down there and the indiginous milkweed in AZ is super cool looking. A person should start out with 5-6 plants. And anyone else interested should always plant the milkweed that's native to their area and AVOID the tropical milkweed that hosts a parasite toxic to the butterflies.

[@GardenDayZ]

I threw some milkweed seeds in my garden last year, hoping it will come up during the monsoon season 🦋 ♥️

[@debralints8926]

It looks so beautiful. Very nice video loved it

I love your new channel. I've lived in the west and admire your dedication to gardening as it wasn't easy for me. I will likely be moving to the mid atlantic east coast so am looking forward to learning how to garden all over again. You've given me some great ideas! You have a wonderful green thumb and are such an inspiration! Can't wait to see how it progresses through the summer. ❤
