Can we all take a moment to appreciate him. Like for real. He has this huge garden that looks so much bigger than it really is. He said so himself it’s only a 9th of an acre. That’s awesome!
It really is amazing
Definitely having trouble wrapping my head around that. From all the videos, it seemed to be a half acre yard, with most of it dedicated to the Food Forest. Incredible that it is actually on a much smaller footprint. Very promising and inspiring for those with limited yard space. Thanks James!!! Cheers!
You must be talking about Tuck, and if so, Yes I agree 🐕❤️
@@jamesprigioni I'm curious how much can you feed yourself on 1/9th of an acre? Obviously there's things that you aren't growing that need to be bought at a store (Pasta,rice,milk,bread,etc), but how much of your cooking can come from the garden or is there so much production that you end up giving it away to friends?
It's because of how he bounces from one side to the other to the other. Makes it seem like it's way bigger than it is cause he's walking around so much.
Every year James puts just a little bit more sauce on the word “Jersey” in his intro. He’s slowly increasing his power.
And , " We out!" 😆
Lol!
The Jersey forcevos strong with him!!!
Just wait soon the whole video is just going to be an insane intro and a clip of Tuck then a insane outro lol
@@jamesprigioni lmao
Imagine if everybody in the United states of America grew fruits, vegetables and herbs the world would be much more beautiful. You could also share or sell with your neighbors.
That's the goal me and Tuck are shooting for. I said we should try and get a few people to grow, Tuck said hold my carrot...
@@jamesprigioni 🤣🤣🤣
It is very necessary and not just for your health. Children are in charge and they are toying with the economy. People need to make sure they are responsible for their own food and water. Rainwater in most of America will keep people in more water than they need. Just buy the big collection jug.
Yes that is what I am planning for myself to do ...
I see it as " The Way " . It would solve so many problems .
That’s my dream. Imagine driving through all neighborhoods, and they are all mini jungles. Every square foot of civilization exploding with biodiversity…
My head cannot wrap around how you grow all those plants in such a small space..wonderful...Tuck's face is a treasure to see...
I have doubt whether he grows these fruits all alone?
@@babu-in6jv he never said he did..I don't know the reasons, people have to always state the negative in EVERYTHING..settle down..and enjoy life a little..
@@oldhag8139 i didn't mean anything negative. I want to build a fruit garden like him...i am alone in my home .i wanted to know whether one person able to do all these work alone
@@babu-in6jv It's better to start small than not start at all. Just get going. Plan out your area. Choose 2 fruit trees that do well in your zone, imagine them full grown and the shade they will throw, pick a spot that will support their growth and plant them. Choose 2 fruiting shrubs and do the same thing. Repeat. I have a mini food forest compared to James and Tuck, about 25% the size, but that's 100% better than NO food forest!! I am a full-time RN at a regional hospital, so I don't have much free time. My husband is on disability due to an accident so he is unable to physically assist me with heavy manual labour. I am a small woman. I am VERY strong for my size and gender but still not as strong as most men but I still do all the hard work on my own. You have to start somewhere, to have what James and Tuck have takes YEARS to grow. You begin your forest and add on, bit by bit, until you reach the limits of what you can manage.
@@icouldjustscream thank you for all positive advice..it helped a lot👍
James, horseradish leaves are used for pickling of tomatoes and cucumbers. In Russia we use horseradish leaves, cherry leaves, and black currant leaves at the same time for picking.
Blackcurrant leaves pickled with cucumbers give the most perfect flavour! 👌
@@OliverJazzz Can't agree more! I even use them for sauna aromatics.
That is valuable information! Thank you for sharing!
Ah , good to know . Thanks for that 👍
Gonna try this this year! Thank you!
This is amazing! My dream is to have a garden like this
Let's Gooo! Thanks Raquel if you have the opportunity I'm sure you can make a garden even better than mine
My dream also but in florida
Me too! I'm working my way there slowly but surely.
I love how pumped James is, so excited about gardening and who can blame him with a beautiful garden / forest like that
Something about seeing new growth and new life, its invigorating and energizing.
Haha ya always pumps me up
@@theorangetreehomestead6660 maybe it's just eating sugar all day long haha
I watch James’s videos before I head out to my garden. It’s like having your own Hype Man! He gets me pumped up to go do the more menial tasks. Thanks
I WISH YOU WOULD MAKE A COFFE TABLE BOOK,LOTS OF PICTURES WITH INFORMATION IN THE PICTURES ABOUT THE PLANTS .Do your book in a soft cover !
Let's go! Big James Garden Gangsta Prigioni for the one million! I really hope you get there
Those up close views of Tucker enjoying vegetables are very therapeutic to watch. What a cute little guy.
James genuinely loves his food forest. So excited every time, just like Tuck. James and Tuck were meant to be buddies.
I love all of James' videos, but this one is probably the most impressive. Makes me want to drive up to New Jersey and see this food forest in person. This is impressive!
Tours! I'm in
Can we go visit?! That would be awesome
@@teevee3673 No, I was joking with James.
Same. This video has been a great resource, for planning my ( forest).
James! Could we get a peek into how you water? I’m curious how that huge area gets watered and one of my biggest challenges as an amateur gardener is know when and how much to water. I never know if I’m over or under watering. Please!!!
With all the wood chip mulch he has down, I think it retains most of the water naturally. I'm sure he soaks the young trees being installed for a year or two in the heat of summer, but anything that's established, probably doesn't need to be watered unless its exceptionally dry.
His plants are perennials, so they naturally have drought tolerance if grown in an environment similar to their natural environment.
Plants like annuals are more susceptible to drought, like tomato, squash, corn, beans...
I might be wrong, but that seems accurate to me with the little experience I have with annual gardens, seeking to get into more permaculture.
Perennials in my experience are as simple as don't water unless it's going to die. It makes them root deeper.
I guess what I meant was I would like to see his overall watering routine. My garden is mostly annuals so maybe that’s what I should have specified? It just seems to me that I never see him watering and I’m curious about it. I trust in James with all things garden related!
@@nickbild3538 You'd be amazed how much water a well decomposed mulch and a high organic matter soil underneath will hold in an area with average or above average rainfall. Every area will have greatly differing needs based on soil organic matter, biology, depth of mulch, rainfall, sun intensity, etc. The best teacher is going to be your plants and soil.
And as with fruit trees, carefully siting your perennial crops to avoid excess sun (which usually means more than 6 hrs direct sun) will save you water and time and give you bigger harvests, as a general rule.
Yes I just bought another blueberry tree! I have strawberries, raspberries, mint, herbs, new fruit trees, vegetables and flowers. Your videos make me want to buy more fruit plants!!
Yeah me too strawberries, 4 blueberry bushes, 4 currant, 1 jostaberry 4 blackberry and 12 4x8 raised beds. Next year I wanna add fruit trees. What kind do you have planted? The wife wants apricots, peaches,and hazelnut. I just need a nikitas gift persimmon and she can choose everything else lol.
Support me
Do the strawberries come back after the winter or do you have to replant? Very new to gardening here.
@@garden_therapy_nj My strawberries came back and I live in NH. I mulch them with a thick layer of mixed grass and shredded leaves around the plants for the winter. I lost a couple but you can't stop them from sending runners and making new plants. They are in a slightly raised, wooden bed and I now have babies on the outside.
Tuck is such a great boss. He was letting the chickens know what’s up.
What a beautiful Garden of Eden!!!
Your hard work really paid off, look at all that food.
Yup, and I couldn't have done it without Tuck. I wouldn't call it "hard work", I like consistent effort a little more lol
Been binging your videos all day. Was just about to wrap up and go plant and saw this one just pop up… Planting can wait another 20 minutes… Let’s Go!!!
Let's Gooo Junior!!! Haha 🤣
50,000 years later, gardening is still cool 😎
Such great content from you and Tuck. Also, got to give a shout out to the person behind the camera. Not sure who it is, but they are killing it too!
It’s his brother
I've asked in the past too. Great job to your camera person!
I legitimately *l i v e* for his intro, honestly 😂💕
Yes 😊🤭😁
12:46 Percy is like:
“I don’t want to be in your video, James!” 😂
your children and grand children are going to love this
You and Tuck are always the best please keep growing and sharing your blessings with others. This is the best part of eating and love for your natural beauty and happiness for your blessings too love Nature. Just Beautiful and you are always going to be able too make the best of someone’s growing and happiness for the peace and love of food and the beautiful blessings of nature. Tuck is a very happy dog and a blessing for you and your blessings too love and joy. Y’all are in a very beautiful space and blessed blessings to you r health also. Thank you for your wonderful gift blessings and love too all. ❤❤🎉🎉🌻🌻
What I learned from this video:
James is very passionate about his blueberries.
NEVER get between James and his Blueberries!!!! :)
James does not like goji berries!
"It's nuts how many (hazelnuts) there are." Great one James!😂
You and tuck don't seem to age in your videos 😅❤ that's awesome.
I'm flabbergasted by the many tropical plants that you are able to grow in New Jersey, 👌 👏
James & Tuck, you are a real inspiration! I just moved onto a half-acre in the south (zone 7b) and have started my food forest with a couple of small planter beds. Once I know more about how the sun moves throughout the seasons, I'll be moving onto trees. I hope my food forest looks half as good as yours someday. Thank you for all the great ideas and for continuing to share and inspire so many gardeners!
Love the channel! First year gardening and I’m doing potatoes, carrots, corn, garlic, onion, watermelon, strawberry, tomato, beans, cabbage, lettuce and harvesting cherry trees that I already have! Some of those things I’ve got a couple varieties going, but everything has sprouted and is growing and doing well. I’ve watched probably twenty of your videos in the last two months and this channel is my favorite on CZcams. It’s good to be able to get tips and advice from an OG like you, man. Cheers!
noice
I love watching you walk through your garden and snack. It’s so encouraging.
Love the giggle when you ate the blueberry. I can't help but do that too! Delicious!
The enthusiasm in James’ voice had me cackling! Haha, I truly enjoy all of the content you guys produce, and just like your produce 🍑 🍇 🍒 it’s always enjoyable and fun!
You are too kind my friend, thank you for the nice words
Happy to see someone in the Northeast growing a trifoliate orange! Watch those thorns - they’re like razor blades. You may also want to look into a Musa Basjoo banana for a novelty. I gave my dad one, and it did well in Zone 6b NJ. It’ll get 15 feet tall in a season for you, and when you chop it down at the end of the season, it makes excellent mulch.
I have a trifoliate orange also. You aren’t kidding about those thorns. They are vicious…
If you don’t mind, I’m in 6b also, what are some other plants or trees your dad has had success with?
I’m subscribed to your channel too so if you would like to respond there, that would be fine. Thanks
love how the dog follows u around, goes to all the plants u point to. lol
Inspiration !!! My head is spinning...just getting a garden going and this dood is out of control with useful knowledge - so grateful for this channel...
Awesome mate!!!!! Legend!! I’m going to do a similar video today from my smaller food forest from my yard in Melbourne, Australia!!!!! Keep inspiring dude :) Amanda xxxx
James, would you consider grafting apricot branches to your plum? I’ve never tried it myself but could that accelerate your goal to have apricot fruits sooner than later?
I love having perennials I think they can be a little intimidating for people that are new to gardening, that’s how it was for me as it seems to take forever and feels like a big commitment! Now they are my go to as they will be a dependable harvest for years
I'm planning & growing (3rd year) my food forest & I'm addicted to your lovely energy. So inspiring ❤
Thank you for sharing, this is HUGE motivation!
Let's Goooo!
I appreciate the video tagging love you James and tuck. I ended up with a lil tuck of my own lol
Aweeee 🐕❤️
I'm such a fan of his intros. They always make me smile.❤
Everyone needs a backyard like this!! So fricken awesome.
Blessings to all!
😁😁
I follow a lot of garden channels. I appreciate all the instruction and advice and explaination from other's experiences. But I love how excited you get about what's growing and how it grows. I have a hard time watching your videos to the end because they just make me want to get out to my gardens! I get so amped watching things grow and expand, it never fails to be a wonder to me.
Amazing, you are very lucky to have such luxury of life. Most people are consumed with technology, expensive cars, women and gold chains. When really beauty and richness of live is actually being able to feed your self and family with your own Edens garden.
This guys enthusiasm would get a coma patient growing fruit/veg.
Great Job as always! Your videos are always so encouraging. I never leave your channel feeling like I can’t do it too. So informative!
Me and Tuck love to hear that 🐕😁❤️
Great video, beautiful fruit forest, hope one day i have one like this;
Thank you my friend, you seem like a kind person. 😁
The rest of his acreage is full of canning jars, hahaha! Truly 🤩
You cameraman does such a great job.😊
Awesome! Growing currants this year based on your recommendation. Take care you guys 😁
Well, this is already one of my favorite videos from you! Wow, what variety! Very interesting plants! I'm in Jersey too, so when you said "orange tree" I was like, "YES!" I was hoping against hope that it was a traditional orange tree, but this will do for Jersey. I agree with you about the goji berries. If they're not making you happy, you plant what you really want. Blueberries do so well in NJ. (might have to use insect netting, otherwise it's just bird food). Thanks for showing us your amazing perennials! All on about 1/9 of an acre! Do you have an arial picture of your plot? I have about 1/4 acre including my house, so I'd have about the same space you do for planting, a little less. Just curious how you laid it out. I need to plan carefully. Have a great day, James! See you next video!
Love watching this video ...again....to motivate me.
i love your enthusiasm and that your garden isn't overly manicured - you just let stuff crack on doing it's thing instead of obsessively tidying up
Could you please make a video on which plants you grow in beds vs in the woodchip areas for all and each and every one of your plants? You made some videos last year clarifying about "why your not using back to eden" and how you actually are, but can you make one stating what you do for each and every plant you grow? Thanks, keep up the good work!
That's a cool idea Arya! I should clarify the more
He’s eating and growing fruit I’ve never seen in person
The infamous boysenberry.
He looks emaciated like he needs to grow a hamburger. That's a joke, before you jump on me about hamburger plants.
I will never grow what you grow (zone 5 a/b) - but man, it is FUN looking at the "fruits" of your efforts. Thank you!
I think you can definitely still do Hazelnuts! I just ordered some, they are super hardy, down to 4 I think!
PAW PAW IS MEDICINAL! ✌️😊
I planted three serviceberry trees in my food forest this year. Really looking forward to harvests in the future. I've been looking up information about the emerald carpet raspberry online but I didn't see the answer I was looking for. Is the Emerald Carpet Raspberry (Rubus pentalobus) thorny? I love to plant edible ground covers around my fruit trees as well, like strawberries, which my grandson (he's 2) loves. He was fascinated by Tuck eating vegetables from the garden, something he also loves to do.
One Green World sells them. They call them Formosa carpet raspberries. I have a few newish ones.
And no, not thorny. The berries are orange colored.
From a Canadian who has several Saskatoon Berry trees....you'll love them! Huge producers!
Aronia berries have a similar immune-boosing effect as elderberry. Have you ever tried making aronia berry syrup?
I recommend to make a great jam, fruit have to be frozen in the freezer for few days, before use to remove bitterness. Combined with sweet apples, Japanese quince fruit/lemon juice for the best flavour. ( im from Poland and we use it traditionally for preserves.)
James, between you and Stefan Sobkowiak, the genuine enthusiasm is infectious! I love coming to CZcams for both your channels. I’ve recently moved onto 5 acres and we’re working on a back to eden style food forest, for our personal food supply, like your beautiful setup in the zone closest to the home. It’s coming together piece by piece! Then, over time, we hope to build a you-pick system modeled after Mr. Sobkowiak’s amazing orchard on the rest of the acreage. Every time I watch your videos, I get more hyped to get out and get growing. Thanks you for taking the time to share your journey and experience and knowledge with the rest of us! 😊
Love your food forest and garden! Some other options are American cranberry, mulberry, walking onions, nectarines, garlic chives, …
Wondering who is gonna do 4k videos first, you or epic gardening?
I did a few before but the amount of space it takes up is insane, I was going through hard drives like crazy cause I want the footage backed up. So believe me if it was cost effective and manageable I would be doing it already. Plus most 4k is in 30 fps and the tours really don't look as good or the style I shoot with a lot of movement doesn't look as clean and fluid if its only 30 fps the 60 fps make a big difference IMO.
@@jamesprigioni interesting and good to know
Epic gardener cause he likes the attention more,but there are few 4ks on this channel that I absolutely love!!!one is with the woodchip montage where Tuck rides on the wheelbarrow like a true boss he is😎😄so damn good❤️ well, in general James Prigioni’s old videos were better, there was somethig cozy about tall guy and Tuck not giving a single fuck about the others,but still caring and both of them seemed happier somehow
Thanks for the SHOUT OUT JAMES AND TUCK......
Really hope I get my hands on some land some day. Berries everywhere!
What an AMAZING food forest! Wonderful!
I'm appalled that you have 35 different plants, let alone perennials. So lovely, James.
What a wonderful garden! And how great is it to walk through there just snack me on everything knowing it's fresh. I can't wait till things start growing in my greenhouse😊
Your garden is like a paradise!
He is always so excited, but when he starts talking about his cherries, oh boy he gets even more giddy. haha. lets gooo
I love this video because it shows the herbs, nuts and less known berries..
Can't get enough of your videos James. I would love to see longer video. I will be very happy to watch 1 hour long video of yours.
I love listening to you explaining about plants and everything. You, Tuck and your garden make life beautiful.
James! Great energy. I latched on to your excitement. I've got 3/4 of an acre in northern Indiana that I'm starting to develop, and you really inspired me with this video. Thank you.
You where my inspiration on producing a food forest this year.
Me too!
Don't you love the surprise vegetables that pop up in the compost bin!?! Last year i had tomatoes, cilantro and green onions growing in my compost bin edges, so I made Compost Salsa!! 😅
Poncirus trifoliata - your orange tree - is awesome! Smell its leaves. Great video, thanks for sharing your passion with us!!
I'm glad that I found your channel. ❤
The Forest is looking great !
7:45 This is such good advice. If you're thinking about growing mint you have to be so careful because it volunteers itself like mad. That includes catnip since it's in the mint family.
GREAT POST! Thanks for putting it up! Impressive!
Hi James, thats jus awesome and more flowers in the forest please..
If it were me, I’d try grafting apricots to those plum root stocks bc those roots must be awesome. I love your yarden. Yours is one I’ve watched to model my own.
I was thinking the exact same!!
Hi James! I've got a few to add to your list!
*Camellia sinensis - it's a shrub that is the tea plant. All teas (white, green, black and oolong) come from it. You should be able to grow it in your zone. There's a grower in NC that sells various varieties of it. And since it blooms as well, there's the added benefit of flowers. The NC grower also sells a book that explains how to harvest and process the leaves for the various types of tea.
*Saffron crocus - yep, saffron comes from a crocus plant. It will grow in your zone - in fact, it does well in your zone and like other crocuses, it comes back year after year. It actually flowers in the fall. The stamens are the saffron threads.
*Asparagus - I thought you already had that in your garden?
*Mulberry bush/tree - not sure of the zone limits, but it grows wild here (GA, zone 8A). Berries are DELISH!
Fabulous video. Thanks for the feedback on Goji and Aronia berry plants - I wondered about them. And for sure I'm gonna try a currant bush.
Do you think cranberries would do well in your zone? I'm going to try an experiment on them...
You should be very satisfied and proud of what you have accomplished here. I am thankful that you share your passion for gardening with us. I have learned new things watching you and I have gardened my whole life.
Always a pleasure watching your videos and learning something new.
That is such a CUTE little apple tree
Tuck!!! My favorite part of your videos.
That’s amazing. It is PURE NATURE BEAUTY
Lots of people would love to have that goji berry bush. Their leaves and roots are also edible not just the fruits. They are considered a super food.
if everyone can make use of the garden like James, the world will be in better place >>> more bees, appreciate foods, healthier, happier and many more. i can't wait to have our own house!
Hello James &Tuck.In Tn I have 2 cherry,2plum,2fig,2 peachtree&elderberry trees.in Az I have an abundance of lemons,limes,oranges,tangelos,figs& grapes I’ve never seen so many anywhere.not to mention green beans,watermelon,cantaloupe,tomatoes,eggplant,&sunchokes.I’ve ripped out my stepmoms flowers & planting all edibles.eating in season isn’t a problem anymore.:).love you guys.grow on we are learning!
Hi Janes, I truly enjoyed your garden lesson on that fruits and veggies. You have a wonderful garden
So glad I came across your channel. I live in Pennsylvania (about 80 miles above Harrisburg) You and your food forest has inspired me!
At least you’re honest about goji berries. Honesty is awesome
Amazing variety !
Thanks Melody
I just wanna live there, it's amazing 💕
I am single lol
@@jamesprigioni 😂😂
Have you ever shown a birds eye view of your forest, with plants/trees labeled? Amazing stuff you've done with such a small area! Truly inspiring
Living the dream lad
I have made 7 garden beds this year. Started a first year of gardening INSPIRED by you James! God bless you! 🍅🫑🌶🍓🌿🍉
