There's no such thing as a low maintenance garden 😂😅😂😅😂
@wendiland7 ай бұрын
I hear you. The term "low maintenance" is however you want to set it. For me it means to setup irrigation, and with adequate spacing -- hopefully I won't have to tend to them as often.

In my small garden I have fruit trees planted 5 feet apart. I grow pineapples and peanutbutter fruit beneath and between the mangos and advocares. They do grow slower and smaller in the shade, but the fruit are just as sweet and it's produce from space I otherwise wouldn't be using. I like the way the banana looks and I have gotten some good racks (goldfinger) but the productivity alone is not enough to justify the garden space. In general, I wish I had chosen fruit tree varieties based on productivity more than high fruit quality.
@wendiland7 ай бұрын
You are making such great use of your space! Do your fruit trees in the shade get any sun at all? That's great to know the fruits are just as sweet. As a fruit lover, can get carried away with anything unique. I find that fruit trees from the Eugenia family produces small, but pretty good yield. Does the peanutbutter fruit have texture like its name to you?
@gordonspears63207 ай бұрын
@@wendilandI do have some …Eugenia neonitida (pitangatuba) plants. In my experience trees that make smaller fruit produce over a much longer season. This is the case with Eugenias, jaboticabas, mulberries, acerola, etc which may produce several times throughout the warm months. Im not a big fan of E. uniflora (pitanga). It also seems that smaller trees and shrubs are more tollerant of shade than large canopy trees, which seems logical. The Bunchosia (peanutbutter fruit), carambola, and pitangatubas that get more sun do seem to fruit more. My garden is arranged in a keyhole shape facing south so all of the big trees and even many of the smaller trees and shrubs do get some direct sunlight at some point during the day.

@@wendilandactually fruit trees will produce but they need time to adjust. Let the trees grow taller instead of broader. They will produce in their own time

Hi Wendy! This year I'm making my garden smaller, even though I have plenty space! The last 2 yrs I'd expanded a lot and got to where I couldn't give anything enough attention, so I'm scaling it back to where I can hopefully be more successful.

Thanks for this video. I live in Zone 10A near the beach in So. OC. There are two adjacent homes that block direct sun at different times of the day. Seed packets say plant in direct sun for 8 hours, usually. An idea is to grow that type of plant where the majority of direct sun hits. Then grow other plants that are fine with less/ shaded areas. I'm just wondering what you'd suggest. Cảm ơn một lần nữa, bạn của tôi ☺
@wendiland7 ай бұрын
Chào bạn! I would do the same as you. It is crucial for certain plants to get direct sun so save that valuable space for them. :) Most leafy greens can be grown in filtered sun, or part shade.

I’ve found plants do much better when you give them the proper space they need. I used to think I’d get more if I put them closer together but have learned that when they are too close and competing they do worse than if you give them the proper space. Also vertical gardening has helped me save space. And totally agree about plants that don’t produce a lot. I found drying beans don’t produce much so you either need a lot of space or only get a small handful- not worth it for me.
@wendiland7 ай бұрын
Absolutely. Planting more is only if you want to grow wider variety, but you can't maximum the potential of the plants. I choose to grow things I cannot buy. Dried beans isn't worth growing in small space, IMO. :)

Oh my gosh! I do the exact same thing, I sometimes ponder over where the perfect spot for something should be, often to the detriment of the poor plant that's left to strangle in its nursery pot! No more! This year I am going to plant into grow bags anything that I can't decide where its perfect place should be, that way, I can easily move it around if I don't like where I first placed it. I too have a very small garden space. I only have a 12'x12' space right now, as I soon realized that I had to completely enclose in wire mesh the entire raised bed area that I had just constructed to keep the ground squirrels and ravens out. I hope to expand it a little this summer. Last year I planted too many oversized plants, this year I am planning more leafy greens and dwarf varieties of plants. I have several small figs, a pomegranate, and some moringa (fingers crossed that I don't kill them this year), that I am going to squeeze in someplace, as I simply cannot part with them. Sadly, for anything to survive, it has to be within the protection of the enclosed area. I plan on training my malibar spinach up and over (the inside) of one corner of the space to create a living shade cloth for some of the less heat tolerant plants, problem solved there with that prolific plant! I love seeing the creative ways that you garden in a small space, you are such and inspiration. Thank you!
@wendiland7 ай бұрын
Wow you got a variety going too! Love the way you are creating to house different kinds of plants. A square garden is much nicer to work with in my opinion. Mine is narrow so most plants get part shade. Great idea for planting them in grow bags so you can move them! Wishing you great success this year, and plant everything you have! :D

Happy New Year! I've cut back over the years a bit myself, from 7 acre average, used to market garden, to just a little over 1, counting the orchard and vineyard area. My biggest problem is all the bring in plants as it gets a bit colder here. I have a dwarf banana and it typically takes around 5 years as it pretty much spends half of each year semi dormant and the pineapple 3 to 4 years to fruit. Always more plants to try and never enough space or time. Thank you for sharing and have a wonderful week.
