- In this video I will take a road trip and introduce you to my gardening friend David the Good. it's not very often we get to meet the people who have inspired us to garden and improve our gardening techniques. But I had the privilege of traveling through Alabama last week and met up with one of the gardening authors of some of the best gardening books you can get your hands on. We had a good time looking around his garden, enjoying some Christian fellowship, and talking about plants. Join me as I tour his garden and glean exceptional gardening tips.

You literally went to see David the Good. Awesome!
And listened to Portishead and drank spiced rum. Literally.
Bahaha
I gotta send you some snake gourd seeds for next year!
...and that Heritage raspberry you forgot.
Very cool video, Scott! But I still say you should've published the Befeemus footage!
Just watched the rest - thank you. It was a privilege having you over and meeting in person.
@@davidthegood just wanted to say thanks to both of you. I watch both of y'alls videos. I'm going to attempt a Tera Preta thing as well. I've started accumulating stuff for it now. Also am trying a pumpkin pit like both of y'all have done videos on. Thanks again to you both.
@@Beltloop29 Great work.
In Nature the tomatoes would 'sprawl' along the ground not grow 'vertically' so this shows what happens when you grow them as nature actually intended. I'm sure many would grow up along a tree or existing fence but without a 'farmer's hand' they would grow along the ground. Cucumbers too. So people always complaining about 'growing naturally' needs to realize what that REALLY MEANS. Good garden!
I was so surprised and excited to see you on his livestream the other day! You are two of my very favorite CZcams gardeners. He is an absolute hoot and you are so down to earth.
David the Good is awesome. Funny, knowledgeable, creative, and extremely entertaining.
Wow those Everglades tomorrow's look just like the tomatoes they grow in the Philippines they grow them along the ground and the plants will even turn brown and grows and grows😁
I found your channel a few weeks ago through David the Good.
I'd been trying to find someone close to where I live here in Jefferson County,
so it was a pleasant surprise when I saw "Black Gumbo".
I figured you must be pretty close.
Thanks for everything you've shared, I've learned a lot that totally relates to what I see going on in my backyard.
I watch both of your channels, and also 'Self Sufficient Me' 😀 I've learned more from you than anyone else even though you have a small garden and I'm trying to create a food forest. I've been watching gardeners from Arizona because the Rio Grande Valley in Texas is getting too dry, . ..well, actually probably just my garden. Several times huge storms have rained on Harlingen & San Benito and I didn't get a drop in La Paloma
Very cool indeed. David is an awesome guy and is so kind and offering. When I started my channel last month he was like "just let me know if you need any help with your channel". One of the genuine good guys out there and an awesome gardener with so much creativity and talent. Good on you guys for hanging out and having fun!
Glad you got to tour DTG's place, I enjoyed the video and the live stream. The sitting on the porch smoking your pipes talking about Jesus, nice end to the day. Thanks for sharing Scott, be blessed, stay safe, but most of all have fun. Peace 😎👍🌱👆👉💥🛎
When I first moved to Florida in 2007, I found and followed David the Good, and bought his books! His vids were CREATIVE!! And then off he went to the Tropics. Only lately seeing him pop up on other garden channels. Love this visit with you and him! THANKS for sharing!!
You are both a wealth of knowledge and so glad he is back in the states. I'm like you and only have a backyard garden and he is close to me. I'm in D'Iberville Ms
*David shouting out OAG and triple 13 made my day. lol.*
I really admire OAG, I have learned a lot.
Collaboration of the century! My two favorite garden mentors in one video! I have a size that is more than yours,but less than DTG's. You both help me tremendously. Thanks as always Scott!
I garden right at 10k square feet in South Mississippi. David moving to Alabama and rehabilitating soil somewhat like mine is one of the best things to happen to me! Learned a lot from this young man.
Two of my favorite CZcamsrs in one video! What a nice tour of David's property. I'm so glad you were able to visit him!
That's so great that you got to hang out with David. Those snake gourds really took me back to my childhood garden...those plants grow super well in tropical India and we used to play under the canopy ducking between the gourds. My mom made this fantastic dish where she slit and stuffed the gourds with ground beef and potatoes and then sliced and fried them, yummy! I am growing several plants this year, not sure how they will do in dry hot California!!
Thank you for sharing your visit with us. It's nice to see all the different ways we can acomplish the same things in the garden!
I also watch Mark from Self Sufficient Me. Another good one is Charles Dowding. I recently discovered your channel and I'm glad I did because your climate is very similar to mine. I'm in the south also
Wow, what a good visit, I learned something new...snake gourds eh? and those nasty vine borers!!!! And those Everglade tomatoes, oh and the YAMS !!!WOW , so many interesting plants in the world. Thanks Scott, awesome visit 👩🏽🌾🙏🏽🧡🧡🧡🧡
Interesting, he obviously loves a challenge!
Yes!! I have followed David and his sweet family for yeas,
Thought your garden was smaller and was thinking mine was not far off, but when I worked it out we have 83sq metres or 900sq feet of space, and really cannot compare, but to be fair I have maybe 180sq feet of raised bed space and the rest is food forest in the front yard. I think the smaller space, the more creative you are in terms of planting.
Vine bore surgery. There are a few videos on cutting out the bore worm to save the vine. I will probably try that this year. My wife coats our bushes with diatomaceous earth. It helps a good bit
You guys remind me of sugar and syrup. Not shure who is who? GARDEN ON! I Love it!
Your going to love those Everglades tomatoes
I came here to watch your videos from David The Good Channel actually. You both are great, I am learning from all the videos. Thank You and wish everyone happy gardening ...
What a great view! I so enjoy your channel!
Spiced Rum and Portishead nothing better. Beth Gibbons is a phenomenal artist. Great vid. quite the experience.
Good clean gardening, praise the Lord. 🙌
Cool tip covering the blooms David the Good 👍
I just found out about David the good two days ago.he is very interesting
Brilliant Video,Glad To See 2 Gardeners Get Together And Discuss Things Between Them.Juno From England,Bravo 👏👏👏♥️♥️
What an awesome video
Everglades tomatoes are sent from God!
😊 love the advice on not taking bad advice. Know what kind of gardening
Thank you for the visit, it was awesome.
You are awesome!! Loved this. I guess I don’t know what a reformed Christian is.
DTG and you are a great combo!!
This was wonderful. Two of my favorites together. 💜💜
Yes all is well .thank you so much.
Such an enjoyable video! David is quite unique. He really has great information for gardening. Thank you! ♥️❣️🙏🏼❣️♥️
I really enjoyed this, thanks for sharing your visit, it’s awesome you got to go hang with David 😁
Cucuzzi (those gourds) also make great pickles. They need a strong trellis and night-pollinating moths. Baker creek has them.
Great video, Scott. Yes, I love David's channel too.
Scott, concerning vine bores on squash plants (and I’m assuming any other plant that gets vine bores), when you get time, go watch That 1870’s Homestead (Rachel and Todd). In the video, she wraps the base stem of the squash plant (just above the roots), with athletic tape. It is sticky and attaches to itself. She only wraps that portion of the vine (just above the roots and to the first leaf). I thought it was a neat idea. Why not try!
Excellent video! I love the interaction and flow of information.
Great hearing yas had church together ❤
Scott, one reason I like you and David so much is our very indirect connection through Reformed theology. I was baptized Dutch Reformed. Now I have strayed, to put it mildly, but I made a defence of sorts for predestination: easy enough to imagine God saying, "What? I should only create people who like Me?"
Scott I enjoy your videos so much!
I get to watch a David the Good video and a Scott Head video both at the same time!! The black locust trees that David has are more useful in his context: they will send thousands of running roots out beneath the soil, helping to trap organic matter and prevent it from being lost as they pull nitrogen out of the atmosphere to manufacture their own fertilizer. That's great for a large sandy area - the downside is, at some point they will no longer be desirable, and they are tough to get rid of! For smaller areas, Red Bud trees and things like Goumi or Eleagnus Multiflora are good nitrogen fixers.
Just ordered Everglades Tomato seeds from Southern Exposure Seed Exchange…I’ll try a few for Fall tomatoes then save the rest for next Spring.
Very enjoyable. Thank you for posting.
Very interesting tour of his gardens ......sounds like y'all had a fun visit .
I mowed over my pawpaws .. I use a driveway reflector from lowes to flag my plants
I've planted Everglades Tomatoes for the last 2 years here in San Antonio. It's by far my favorite tomato and much hardier and prolific than other cherry tomatoes.
You had a really great day! I enjoyed watching it🙂.
Hi I'm a fan of Charles dowding and mark and now your channel you provide in depth info and post info at a calm pace my family will benefit from your awesome videos thank you from new Zealand
Love David's channel too. I'm thinking about cover cropping from advice by both of you, gotta lighten up my heavy clay. Pulled up some nice potatoes to start opening up a new area, when I finish doing that I'll replant with big radishes as fall crop to open up that clay. Plus mulch, yay!
That was fun to watch. Perfect video for watching while riding in the car on the way to Arkansas. We are heading there to visit my folks and my Momma and I are going on a tour that includes lunch from the farm at Moss Mountain. I'm so geeked out. The newbie gardner and chef in me feels like a kid!
Loved the collab!
Mark from Australia is cool and has a similar weather.
My Chaya is 6' tall and flowering. It's very drought tolerant. And grows back every year. But I don't get snow, knock on wood.
I have some of David's books. I'm not a big reader but I'll have them if the grid goes down.
So cool!! Great conversation andcattitude. God bless....
Love this episode..I have so much respect ya gentlemen
So enjoyable, thank you both for sharing!
Fun and interesting. Thanks for sharing.
Great video Scott! Looks like you had a great time with DTG! Thanks for the shout out and I hope those Everglades tomatoes grow well for you. FYI, Phoebe Sharona will love them!!
Awesome trip
Thank you for sharing. I also learn so much from utube gardeners. That with just time and personal observation, I'm hoping I can be a competent gardener some day.
Thank you I will check out his u tube. I also learn from many teachers! Love your Channel and have been following it for about a month or so.
This is the BEST video! Thanks!
LOVE YOU GUYS!😊🙏🏽🇺🇸
I so enjoy your channel, especially when I hear you loving Jesus along with your love for gardening!
I’m sick. The squirrel s have decimated my whole corn crop. I gave the cobs to my worms. Next is my tomatoes. Ugh Or my Malabar spinach. Got a lot of that. After that got 70 bags of compost at Lowe’s with bugs all in the bags.
Brilliant.Just Brilliant,Juno Again 👏👏👏♥️♥️
I love David the good content he is wealth of knowledge
I love David the Good! So cool to see you guys together!
He’s very much like-minded, same worldview, but we have a radically different garden context. 😊
I got a bunch of terrible plants from logees. 2 were paw paws and they sent supposedly dormant ones. They never did anything.
Not sure why exactly but this video really warmed my heart! Like sincerely. 👍 Keep up the great work you two! Friendship, hospitality, learning, spiced rum, and Jesus. So good.
Thank you.
Several years ago a friend gave me 2 tomatillo plants. A couple years later her husband told me NEVER, NEVER, plant a tomatillo plant. I haven’t planted tomatillos in about 5 years and they are growing wild in mine and my neighbors yards.
What an informative and great video!! Thank you!!
You've got plants I've never heard of most probably won't grow up here in Canada
Two of my favorite gardeners!!! This makes me happy!
Haha I love gardening in Alabama but been a big shift from the northeast. AOG is a great reference but he does love his triple 13 --- but he has really helped me down here.
it was great to see you got to meet.
David. Thinking of trenches and kitchen compost. Hmmm. A restaurant will throw out hundreds of pounds of food probably everyday. Pick it up fresh and sort it. Coffee shops throw out used coffee grounds too.
Great video! I subscribe to both of your channels; and have learned a lot of helpful gardening information.
A wonderful insight!!
I too have learned from other gardeners as you two.
So exciting! You and David are the only two channels I really love and keep up with and it was so great seeing you both together!
I grew everglade tomatoes this year. You want to make sure they fully ripen before eating them because they will taste bitter if not ripe enough.
Geez, watch that machete! Cool garden tour though.
This cross pollination thing was cool. And fun to see from different angles.
And, to my knowledge you debuted Ds pumpkin patch. First time shown in a yt vid I think.
Thank you for making this video. It's very informative, got a lot out of it. I'm also glad to see I'm not the only one that saves a lot of seeds from produce that I buy, lol.
Loved the gardeners' discussion...Very enjoyable! Thanks, guys. So much to learn; make like a sponge & soak it up!
👊😎
You two are my favorite!
I also enjoyed Scott's " giant" cameo in Dave's video. 🍀🌹🌺❤
I enjoyed this so much. I have heard of David the Good so now I am interested in his channel also. I am like you with very limited kitchen garden. Oh and I believe my squash are saved. We will see within a day or so. Thank you for all you do to help me. ❤️🙏
Never thought to bury the nodes on my pumpkins, definitely worth a try!
I love 💗 love this.
Hey Jo, been a while since I've seen you comment. Hope all is well.
