Sharon's Food Forest - April walkabout
Vložit
- čas přidán 26. 04. 2023
- High on the Mendip plateau, a fifteen-minute drive through the lanes from Rob's forest garden, lies Sharon's newly established, one-acre food forest.
Inspired by Rob's design, planned by Adam Croft, and implemented by Sharon herself, Rob shows us around this edible landscape, a mix of new & old, and very much a work in progress (like any garden!)
Rob is fortunate enough to be able to work here every Tuesday at the moment, using his hard-earned trial & error agroforestry knowledge to help Sharon's vision come to fruition.
Presented and recorded by Rob Handy.

It's looking really good. Such amazing progress in such a short time frame. I can't wait to see the next video.
Wonderful, thanks Rob, always inspiring x
Thanks, Steve 😊
Thanks for a lovely video showing the new forest garden. So nice to see a natural approach rather than fighting nature. Yesterday we were in our mixed Wood just appreciating nature in all its glory. Also giving our rooted Christmas tree a new perminant home.
You're very welcome 😊 Your mixed wood sounds wonderful 🌳🌲 What a blessing ✨
I love the mown paths. Beautiful.
It's amazing how mowing paths makes everything else look neat, doesn't it? 😄
I always enjoy your videos. Very relaxing.
Thank you, Donna, I'm glad 😌
Hi again Rob, I really liked the idea of adding name markers to bamboo canes - why didn't I think of that! The fruit bushes in this garden are lovely and lush too - as is your wonderful views. I'm growing blueberry and loganberry in large pots in my small town garden, It's quite magical to see the buds and leaves appear from a few sticks! Thanks for your video and it's good to see you.
Thank you, Fiona 😊
It really is a wonderful place to work 😌
How's it goes with your new fancy labels? 🖋😁
Thanks Rob, nice to get ideas from other peoples food forests,, cob nut grove 👍🌿
Yeah! Cob nut grove! 🌰🤗
Just beautiful.
🌳🌲✨😌
What a lovely visit!! 🍄🍇🍒 Thanks, Rob! I was enjoying the birdsong as well, mixed in with the rooster calls! 🐓 Didn't hear the turkey, sadly. I'll look forward to seeing Ms Sharon featured; hope it's soon! Have a blessed day! ✨️☀️🌷
Thanks, DaisyTea, I'm so glad you appreciate the sound-scape also 😌 I'm still trying to encourage Sharon to make an appearance! 📹😄
What an amazing property Rob. So many delicious things to eat growing in that place. Two fruits I haven’t had since I was a child are gooseberries and locquats. Looking forward to your next video.
It is pretty amazing, isn't Jenny?! 🌲🌳 I'm most fortunate to be able to work here! 🙏🏽
In my town, as in quite a few areas in the U.S., there is a ban on growing both gooseberries and currants - to my dismay. It has to do with White Pine Blister Rust fungus, that also uses ribes as hosts - even though resistant varieties of currants now exist.
A broken hedge trimmer? What a bummer. That doesn't fit well in your idyllic world. 😉
But, so cool to see what you're up to. I've never seen a keyhole bed. Very interesting. And, more interesting is the length of the video, 11:11. That number has been grabbing my attention since 2015.
Have a super blessed day, Mr. Rob.
Aha, this must have been the right video for you then 😉 I did notice that when uploading it actually and wondered if anyone would interpret it as an angel number 😇😁 Have a super blessed day yourself! 🙏🏽✨
I would of liked to have watched you going to Wells, seeing what you got up too
Okay, I'll try to include that next time 🏰📹😁
A lovely antidote to a wet day here…a question…does Sharon have to be careful re old lead mining residue? Best wishes, Jinxy
Aww, thanks Jinxy 🌧️😌 I don't believe so, but I'll ask her next week 😊
