Intro to Summerville Gardener Backyard walk around at new years 2023-24

Welcome to Summerville Gardener! Ben (that’s me) and Hailey (usually behind the camera) will be showing you what we are doing to transform our backyard from a barren grass monoculture into a food forest. We will have and show what we’re doing with bananas, peaches, plums, persimmons, apricots, nectarines, tons of citrus, as well as normal garden items and not so normal garden items like various gingers, taro, potatoes, turmeric, and anything else food or tropical we come across. We are located in Summerville, SC, where the line of Zone 8B and 9A goes nearly straight across our property. So what to do? We are going to try growing anything we can get away with from zones 9 and maybe 10! We’ll be getting some guava, papaya, and even mango’s to try to get them to grow and thrive in our little food forest.

I’m doing my own thing but still following what I’ve learned from Back To Eden Gardening as well as how to grow a regenerative and organic garden. I’m following the methods as shown by Paul Gautschi, James Prigioni, Dr. Elaine Ingham, Jim Putnam and a bunch of other channels like Self Sufficient Me, the weedy garden and many others, the list really is too long to mention everyone. But seriously, a big thank you to all the creators I’ve been watching that have been outstanding at teaching me. I can only hope my videos continue to assist others and show that anyone with the willingness to try this, you can do it too! Clicking on these links is part of the amazon associates program. It costs you nothing, but supports this channel whenever you buy something you were probably already going to buy anyway. It doesn’t even have to be one of these items. Buy whatever you want, it helps support this channel. Thank you!
