Hey man, just want to say im still here and watching all your videos and it really educates me as a new gardener! Keep up thr good work.

Hi Dan, Thanks for posting your very informative videos. I bought some really sweet nectarines from Tescos last year. I cracked 6 of stones and removed the kernel then wrapped them in wet kitchen roll and placed them in a polythene bag in the fridge for a few months. I put them into a large flower pot and left them in my unheated greenhouse. They've all sprouted and have grown about 15cm high in a matter of a few weeks. Last week I carefully repotted them into individual containers, and apart from the initial shock where a couple of them drooped, they've all recovered. I'm told that they should produce identical fruit to the parent plants in a couple of years. I live on the south coast of England so I'm hopeful that they will survive. I have grown several brown turkey fig trees from cuttings. The parent plant, in the garden hardly produced any fruit - probably the poor soil it's in. Very easy but surprisingly the plants need a lot of water. I grew one from a small twig about the size of a matchstick, initially under a cut off lemonade bottle on the kitchen window sill, then placed it in my greenhouse. It grew to over 1.2 metres and was loaded with fruit the following year. It's still in my greenhouse, still loaded with immature fruit from last year.

Hey Dan, thanks for a very informative video once again. Looking forward to seeing your Persimmon flourish as they get established. Wow! You have quit a few grape varieties. We are pretty fortunate down south to be able to grow these fruit trees 👍🏾. Happy gardening 🧑‍🌾 my friend 🙌🏽

Love the way you explain everything so quick to the point brilliant as usual your definitely the man dan

lovely collection of exotic plants you have . this video will help me for sure to select variety and plants for upcoming summer here in Iceland.

Hello! Just discovered your channel, been busy planting peach and nectarine trees today up here in Northumberland! Great videos! Cheers!

I absolutely love the term "food forest". As I watched I thought it sounds and looks like a wonderland or Eden (I see another commenter said the same about Eden😁). You are a busy bee, aren't you?! Keep up the awesome work and tysmfs the videos and information. I look forward to see the crop this year, too. I think, I'm most excited to see the bananas😁 Happy New Year! 😊🤗💕

Hope you have a wonderful growing season this year and for many more. Hello from snowy Ireland 🇮🇪

Hi Dan, i have an Autumn Royal in an unheated greenhouse, wow, does it grow, i let it grow 3 branches around each of 3 sides in the greenhouse on streainer wires 6" away from the glass, i have had to cut the growth down to 20% as the weight of the grape bunches was trying to pull the roof in, in the early stages i removed 50 bunches as they were doubled up but even so the amount of bunches was crazy, each about a foot long, my Lakemont is outside but the squirrels each year devestate them so i am building a steel mesh cage to stop that, I used to have 22 fruit trees but you need to repot them every 3 years or remove from the tub and prune the roots, they were in 70L tubs and 10L tubs but they should have all been transfered to the ground but i am on clay so didn't think it would work so when they stopped growing and producing good fruit i binned them, the Brown Turkey Figs are by far the best, but the late crop usually has to be taken off unless you can cover the tree for the winter. Love your videos.

Man I love your videos Dan. You are one of the dudes that I always learn something new or beneficial from. Top man and thank you for your awesome videos. Peace ✌️.

You are getting a nice range now Dan, especially with the number of grape varieties 👍

You're brave growing all of that!

Amazing Information about home gardening, thanks for sharing.

Wow. Super

Good 👍👍you attached fruit photo than good

I can’t wait to grow some persimmon trees and grape vines!! I’m in zone 6a . So far I have apple , pear, and peach trees. You have an incredible variety! I had no idea this was all possible:) thanks

Whoa Dan nearly as good as the Grden of Eden.

You have done really well on the exotic front, Dan. Two of my citrus suffered this week as a result of my own failures, not getting out to cover them before a significant freeze. I have a tray of orange seedlings grown from 'late oranges' last spring, they have survived without any problem or extra attention, while other citrus have suffered. As I grew a lot from seed, I hope that it will build its own resilience, I agree with you that initially, when citrus etc come into our country, they need a halfway house as such - conservatory or properly heated and weatherproof greenhouse. Having seen that gentleman grow bananas in Northern Germany I know that he sees things the same way, lots of these plants will survive when at a stronger stage, a few years old or more, but until then they are vulnerable.

Great ideas, thank you. My daughter is looking for a seedless grape so Lakemont is now on the list!

Great collection of exotics there. I'd also recommend Locquats. Can be tricky to get to fruit, but very hardy and lovely foliage.

another exotic fruit you can grow is the cold hardy kiwi which produces small kiwi fruit the size of a large grape and they have soft skin like grapes, so you eat them whole like grapes. But I do recommend getting the " Issai " variety of cold hardy kiwi since it's the only variety of cold hardy kiwi that is self-fertile and self-pollinating that I know of also the Issai variety can tolerate a zone 4 climate. Which is -35 degrees F without a covering in the winter and it can even tolerate a zone 3 climate or -40 degrees F if you keep them covered in the winter.

You should try growing a Satsuma they are extremely cold hardy down to 15 degrees.

lol, I need to move, Jan 8th in Manitoba usually has 2' to 3' of snow on the ground and -30 -35 degree celsius temperatures

Useful video cheers mate.

Always love your videos and garden, thanks dude :)

I'm in 8b as well, but to be fair, with climate change I expect we will move into 9a shortly. It's been a few years since we had anything like minus 10 c. Planning on getting 1 or 2 persimmons this winter. When you graft vines, do you use any particular root stock variety? And have you tried paw paw? Just planted mine outside after 6 years in and out of the polytunnel, no fruit yet.

why is the foil green ? Doesn't it block the light frequencies that are needed for photosynthesis ? ... asking, not telling :) I saw them on sale recently in local shops too

It was the thors thay put it on tip it's 20th high I had to cut 1 foot of as broken

We have quite heavy clay soil here, would you recommend growing citrus in a polytunnel in raised beds with gravel or similar substrate at the bottom for drainage? Many thanks 😊

Hi Dan good video as usual what software do you use to put your videos together cheers

Very informative video Dan. I will look into getting Suffolk red grape vine as you said it might be suitable for northern areas. I have a black grape vine but have no idea of its variety. It dies produce graoes but not very big ones

You should plant a Chilean Guava

Hi, Lemon tree is just not doing well. The fruit stops growing and they turn black. Also the leaves are getting eaten so much but I don’t know what’s eating it. Any tips?

Cheers

Dig that brown turkey up and get a desert king heavy producer and taste way way better. Figs do way better in ground You can thank me later. But absolutely take it out. Good job

I’m Just wondering about star fruit because it’s so delicious to eat but it’s the cold climate I think will be a problem

I have a small garden and want it to be put to some good use.

Where did you find specific variety of persimmon in the UK? I struggle to find a " Fuyu"

Great to see video I want to ask if was given a Yuzu lemon at end of video you said hardy my problem is I live in flat it was plant no one wanted can put out side in spring summer but be in pots and advice please be most helpful

I managed to grow a mango plant up to a half a foot last year . I planted it in the hard shell . Do you need get it out of hard shell first ?

Hey handsome...do you have videos of those trees when they are in Summer

Hi man, you do like your Grapes haha, you have several varieties, do Grape vines cross pollinate? I’m definitely going to buy myself that one you said would be the best if only could grow 1 vine. Also want to get one of those the Blood Orange trees. Last summer I found I had a Grape vine growing from my compost Soil, which lost all its leaves during a cold snap in the winter, while on my window seal. I waited till it was at least 10*c at night before I planted it out in a pot, and cut the stem down to about 4-6 inches. Now it has grown new leaves but the stem( for now at least) is not growing, then this spring another Grape seedling coincidently popped up in the same pot. I know they are VERY unlikely to produce edible fruits and may not even last through a full winter outside, but as they grew themselves without any effort from me, I want to see how they do. As you may remember I am trying to grow a mini Forest Garden in Pots, but cos of the lockdown I haven’t been able to develop it as I hoped, but thankfully some locals have managed to get permission to grow a Forest Garden on a green space in my town, literally 3 mins walk from my flat, so I hope to get some cuttings etc from that source. Sorry for long comment! ✌🏽🌻✊🏽🌎

Hi love your channel, just a quick question about the sanguinelle blood orange, did you grow it from seed or from a cutting? Thanks darragh
