Wow, it all looks so bountiful, love the idea of using the oaks to trellis very long squash. I so want to know about those pumpkins with the hule-less seeds. I get those seeds at the store for a snack and they are not cheap, so I would love to hear more about that plant and if Rachel likes how the seeds roast up. I am not a big squash person but love roasted pumpkin seeds, the company even does a not to spicy version and those are so good. The pumpkin/squash is beautiful too. I also love the look of variegated Cana lilies in your garden and that pop of color from the Amaranth.

Everything looks beautiful but I’m curious how you’re going to get those squash that are growing up the oak tree? I had one Zucchino Rampicante that literally took over the whole back half of my garden and my pear tree. My husband found a couple of really long squash up there, the longest was almost four feet long. He had to use an extension ladder and that tree isn’t nearly as tall as an oak tree. Thanks for sharing!

Just beautiful. I really love this system. I feel like it really is the culmination of a lot of the basic principles and best practices you’ve been talking about for years. And it’s something that would work outside of the tropics, whereas the more traditional food forest system always seemed like it would have limited productivity in a temperate region. I think this is the style I want to emulate when I start my garden all over again – we are trying to get out of our “yankee hell hole” for greener pastures in one of the freer southern states, but as renters we’re probably going to be stuck with some tiny suburban yard that we’re not allowed to garden in until housing prices crash and we can finally buy some land. Hopefully I’ll be able to do some small scale gardening in the meantime, but I’ll be living vicariously through your videos and dreaming about how I’ll eventually build my own grocery row gardens once we’re settled.
