Am retired!! Yaaay! Planting 3 mango trees; avocado; key lime; tomatos; watermellon; 4 pomegranate bushes! Pole beans; bush beans! Yaaay! Small house on 1/4 acre! Yaaay!

[@piosian4196]

I hope you plant grafted mangoes. Most fruit you ate will give a different fruit as we don't know if the planted seed will grow from seed stock or scion stock. If you are in Florida, plant only South of Cocoa Beach-Tampa line, Better at Homestead area.

Excellent people great video

[@juniorteraza9496]

I loved your farm, I have 140 acres that I inherited from my father and I came to this country U.S.A. to work and come back one day and be able to plant everything you have we have plantations but they are old they are abandoned I don't know if I will ever fulfill my dream, I love country life

[@mounbakko5871]

... best farm seen so for of this channel...

[@bambarayon777]

Great upload my dearest friend and stay blessed

[@user-hv7rb4rc7s]

Your Uncle Dave is proud of you!

[@atrfg]

Thanks Uncle Dave.

[@drticktock4011]

I'm a professional civil engineer in FL. It's worth getting a topographic survey PRIOR to land purchase to identify elevations especially with a business farm. Floods too much; too arid??? Etc.

[@atrfg]

Flooding occurred in the past because the canals are not maintained very well and there was not a good pump to pump out the community. All that is changing now that IT ID is taking over and assessments are in place to make big improvements. We may never have any more floods out here.

[@hanhb6047]

We own 5 acres of raw land in SWFL that does flood. During the summer rainy season, it can flood up to a foot of rain. What are some ways to mitigate that and move the water if we want to start a tropical fruit farm?

[@maricelisrobles3839]

Use your bananas as biomass for your other fruit trees as in Syntropic gardening. Bananas are excellent biomass!

[@grownbyme-lakeillawarra2993]

Fabulous couple. Such lovely people, thanks for sharing what you love!

[@nateross14]

Bananas are only inexpensive in the U. S. compared to other fruits because of the import availability. Once the World food shortage crisis hits full swing in the next year or 2, Banana and other fruit imports will drastically be reduced if available at all. Banana prices will skyrocket compared to other fruits easily grown in the U. S. like Apples, Peaches, etc. They would be smart to keep SOME production of Bananas going. Mangoes, Avocados, and Pinnapple will be other max comercial value fruits to be growing in the near future.

[@youngderks9499]

Good point!

[@nancydrewsgarden]

Yes friend!! Grow food not lawns!!!

[@worldcooking]

It is a wonderful solution adopted by this industrious couple to use the land for the purpose of building a fruit tree farm, which gives them so much satisfaction.

[@marvalove5946]

Paul you makes me laugh I love what you said retirement should not be sitting on a rocking chair I retired this year and I am also a nurse looking forward to purchasing a farm property in west palm beach

[@cecileb.2207]

[@donnab3183]

Loved their farm, I learned a lot. Thank you for sharing. I’m also from Brooklyn, and I remember as a kid, eating cherries, figs and apples on my block. Neighbors had fruit trees back then, not anymore all cut down now. Enjoyed the video, I hope to have fruit trees, just a small personal amount. 😊

You need to give the people a microphone it's difficult to hear them talk in many videos. Great video really enjoyed

[@FruitfulTrees]

I have a new mic in my new videos it's really good, thanks for the comment

[@rosaarias7128]
