Today is a deep dive into how I am integrating perennials within our permaculture site, which up until now, has been heavily focused on annuals and landscaping, considering how new it is. However, perennials are a permanent feature and bring so many benefits to a landscape that compound over time. With exception to their initial cost, the more seasons that pass by, the greater the impact of that initial investment becomes. This video the very first in a new, more informal, video series to share thoughts, ideas, and discoveries as close to real time as possible – happy watching!

Yes, inspiring and lots of learning for the viewers.
Thanks!
I use mint and pennyroyal among the strawberries that are my lowest level of the food forest
If anyone knows how to kill comfrey, I'd be interested to know ????
Hugh Fearnley-Wittingstall started a project some years ago where people with land they weren't using could register it and the website matched it with people looking for space to garden. I'd be interested to know how it went and whether it should be resurrected.
Good to see the featuring of all the varieties of flowers and seeds
You should grow more perenial vegables like tree collards, sea kale, Babington leek, garlic chives, chives, walking onions, nodding onions, Turkish rocket, camas, Oca, yacon, causcasian spinach, good king Henry, Chinese toona, Chinese yam, Japanese yam discorea, rare rheum or rhurbarb spcies, red sorrel and sorrel, New Zealand spinach, water spinach , edible rare sunflowers like non rare jursuleum artichoke and rarer kinds like maximillion tuberous sunflower, wild kidney beans, runner beans, oxyria sorrel, edible perenial hibiscus cold hardy species like rose of Sharon and marshmallows, False nettle, wood nettle and a lot more.
Totally off topic but have you heard of electroculture? Would love someone of your influence to give it a serious go and see if it makes a difference or not.
This was great. But after watching "The Last of Us" I'm never going to forget about the Fungi Kingdom ????
It seems like a dream. Like a heaven on Earth.
Wow! I didn't realise the definition of an orchard and now it turns out I have one! I planted 3 apples, a cherry and a crab apple last autumn (all column trees as I have little space). Thanks so much for the info.
I have started more and more prennials now, trees and bushes and more 🙂
Love the way yall put this video together!! Love following you and learning things…I just ordered some of your propagation trays and can't wait to plant in them!
Great to hear about the ideas and possibilities. Thanks!
❤️ Love! Love! Love! This video! One has to have discernment to appreciate the vision. I get it and can't wait for the follow up. ????
Oh my gosh! I was wanting to plant some willow for basket making! ????
Had never heard of cob nuts but Google says they are hazelnuts. ????. Even though I have been around magnolias all my life, I also didn’t know the flowers are edible. I wonder if that is all magnolias or just stellata?
Hello Huw, it would be good to hear what your definition is of a food forest. Thank you.
Nice space and good choices for the new perennials! I have and love them all. The hazelnuts look a bit too close to the cherry blossom tree though…
Your comment about mint as ground cover got me inspired, I am thinking about using creeping thyme and wild strawberries around currant bushes in the same role.
I have learned so much from your videos
