First Ever Home Orchard Tour!

[@thaliacrew1]

I'm growing cherries, avocados, limes, lemons, elderberries, 2 kinds of plums and 3 kind of apples from watching your orchard series videos. We harvested over 400 pounds of food on less than 1/6 of an acre between the orchard and the raised bed gardens! Thank you!

[@urbanfarmstead]

Wow that’s amazing! Congratulations! Glad to know your garden is thriving

Good for you, you probably live in a warm climate zone.

[@z0mbiedevin]

Bro. Years back you sent me some Scarlet Runner beans after posting about it on instagram. That was when I had just taken horticulture 101 at my local community college. Now I install landscapes and literally just planted 6 fruit trees for my mom and this video pops up. Thank you for inspiring me all these years and from a fellow landscaper in Orange County: your work is so so clean. ❤

[@z0mbiedevin]

Seriously though, all of your advice is stuff that my professor would also say. You know your stuff!

[@ryangibson1900]

Love the update! 5 years ago on our 2 acres we started planting many varieties of apples,pears,fig, peaches,plums,pawpaw, grapes, elderberry, cherry, raspberry, blueberry, we let our chickens have run of the property and everything is doing amazing.

[@urbanfarmstead]

That is awesome! I wish I could find Pawpaw trees here

[@jeballantine]

I am currently in the process of improving my backyard soil in the East Bay Area with a layer of compost and planting a cover crop. In a few months, I will plant a variety of fruit trees and plants. I sincerely appreciate your videos as they provide great recommendations for fruit varieties to grow and lay out the process for planting and caring for them. I also love the idea of planting them 6 feet apart so that I can grow a bunch of trees.

[@setapartfarmandgardens]

I cannot explain how much I love this video and your intentionality behind how you organize your videos. So much thoughtfulness and detail. You're an amazing teacher. We own a nursery and grow many things but fruit trees are still new to us, so we are learning so much from you. We've already planted our own mini orchard and this video makes us feel so excited to one day harvest from our own mini orchard! We wish your and your incredible channel the absolute best!

[@urbanfarmstead]

Thank you so much!! I appreciate your kind words and support! Best of luck with your orchard

[@sarahhajarbalqis]

I am just salivating every time you're biting into a fruit. Except jujube :)

[@caketwentytwo]

Orchard goal! I hope you will also share how you take care of your plants like watering schedule, plants diseases, and recommended fertilizers.

[@urbanfarmstead]

Thank you! Yes, I’ve shared a bit of that in videos here, but will certainly be sharing more

[@wcramer1802]

Hi Kyle, I live in the Sacramento region and have learned a lot from your videos. 😊 Could you do a video on watering? I am always shocked when you mention how long and often you water. Watering feels like such an enigma, and I would love to hear your thoughts on how you determine emitter type, water duration, and number of days.

[@urbanfarmstead]

Great suggestion! That will be a full video, but you can either dig down or use a moisture meter to determine when it’s time to water and base your schedule on that interval, factoring for weather

[@SpaceH3r0]

I remember watching you plant your orchard over two years ago and now look at it! thats amazing and you're truly an inspiration. I live in an apartment and yearn for a home with enough space for a garden, if only a fraction as majestic as yours. One day I will, that is my main goal in life right now.Thank you for sharing your journey with us.

[@Frutalesyhortalizasgenesis]

It is really amazing and very special and happy to firstly harvest our own fruit in our home yard . I am a fruit lover i Cambodia i am growing many fruit types of fruit tree including 100 durian trees inside our home yard. thanks for sharing.❤

[@amourdeparis]

California is certainly has a great climate for gardening. I grew up in southern Cali. Now I live in Texas. My backyard is full of peach trees, some plums, persimmons, and figs. You should definitely look into growing persimmons, Kyle. They ripen around November. I also have mango and tangerine trees (which I bring inside during the winter).

[@urbanfarmstead]

Definitely! I do have Teo fuyu Persimon trees, but they are still too hound to fruit. Also about 8 mango trees and lots more to share here soon

[@Sam-lk6eo]

Thanks for the tip on when not to pick fruit after watering, As the fruit tends to be sweeter further apart from being watered, Good Tip Thanks again from NZ 😮

[@margaretmarshall3645]

Thank you for having the patience to collect tasting videos throughout the season so we could see the full progression! Sure made my mouth water as I consider my next nursery trip and rethink how many trees I could squeeze into my backyard. 😊

[@This_Holy_Chaos]

I’d love to see a drone video so see the top-down layout of this yard and how much you’ve gotten into it! I have what seems like a larger yard but FAR less productive. Would love to see the layout more effectively with notes on what is where. Super inspiring!

[@urbanfarmstead]

Thank you! I wish I had a drone to do that! I do have an overview scratch on an Instagram post

[@laon4]

I love your video. I live in San Francisco with fog and cold wind, and to see someone who is growing fruit trees successfully in this mind of weather.

[@Pachinko1]

We have massive issues with fruit fly here in Western Australia and it is very difficult to control them. I chose to net my tree this year and I may finally get nectarines to eat!

[@urbanfarmstead]

Best of luck!

[@ailenebernales9539]

I’m also from Sacramento and we started planting fruit trees specifically apple last July and it’s now flowering, I’m excited to see some fruits form in the next couple weeks.

[@jaiseallen5381]

What is your feeding schedule for your trees? Do you have to spray or treat them in any way?

[@yaseminsulker9017]

Yes I want to know that too.

[@susienegrete4274]

I would love if you make a video walking us through your tree care and maintenance like time of prunning, fertilizers used for each fruit tree, how many times and when do you fertilize your trees, do you spray them to prevent disease and/or pests. Do you deal with ants or rodents etc.

[@urbanfarmstead]

Thank you! I do have videos for most of that already here in my orchard series except for fertilizer and pest management, but many more videos to come!

[@urbanfarmstead]

I’ve been fertilizing once in early spring and once in early summer with EB stone Organics. I use a natural fungicide for peach leaf curl when necessary, and have a full video on that process here in this series. Most of the products I use are linked in the video description.

[@kimanderson9135]

So glad to have you back!

[@urbanfarmstead]

Thanks! I’ve never left, just post infrequently as I focus on quality over quantity while working 80 hours a week

Fellow Sacramentan here, glad to see a local on "the interweb" (Vince Vaughn, 'The Internship'). 😂 What did you do to build your soil is what I want to know...

[@truthbetold2611]

Love all your trees! A food forest full of small but productive fruit trees is my dream. I live in zones 5-6 depending on the year. I look forward to that day when I get to harvest from all of my trees and berry bushes. I've bought a freeze dryer in order to store away the foreseeable bounty.

[@aleagonzales]

Your first video got me started with my orchard now I added 4 types of citrus, pomegranate, apricot, Liz’s late nectarine, Olive, Santa Rosa plum, peach and apples. Also another one of your videos helped me have confidence to prune my fig & loquat. And I was able to get fruit off my mexicola avocado! Thank you for getting me inspired!

[@urbanfarmstead]

Thank you! That sounds Wonderful!

[@JessicaVanderhoff]

Is your Mexicola a seedling or from a nursery? I just put in a seedling one I started last winter, and I'm super curious if it'll make good fruit!

How do you protect your fruit against pests: squirrels mostly, fruit rats

[@juicemcnorway]

It’s like the Truman Show, how can it be real? I couldn’t keep a single peach on my tree because of scrub jays and squirrels. Nothing even looks netted, protected. Must be a giant plastic dome covering this house. Kind of amazing. Willy Wonka’s Orchard and Garden.

[@urbanfarmstead]

Haha, thank you. The squirrels m, birds and rat do take some fruit, but for now they are leaving enough for me to enjoy. I don’t do much and the rodents do take some, but sometimes I’ll use next bags and wire mesh to protect the fruit. Those products I use are linked in the video description
