Such a lovely food forest. Thanks for sharing

Pawpaws are more of an understory trees. They grow in clumps under big over story trees such as oak, maple, beech, ash, and hickory. They like moist rich soil. You pawpaw might be drying out too much

Now that's what I call a 'Prepper's Garden'! It is definitely time to double down on food and water preps guys! Happy to offer help and advice if needed👍

It’s LITERALLY a forest!🤣 I love it.👍 to think that this is only one of your food forests is mind blowing! Thank you for the tour. I was wondering if you guys grew apples, but the video already answered the question! Also it must feel great to randomly find eggs on your homestead, doesn’t it?😂 Also, how do you guys get water to all the trees? Anyways, thank you guys so much for sharing! I am exited to see the next food forest video!

Awesome video, makes me even more excited for my fig trees to take off and start fruiting. Blessings to you and your family!

Beautiful fruit trees! All the hard work pays off!

So inspiring TD! Look at God's abundance! Been following y'all for a long time and so enjoy watching it grow!

This is awesome. Trees are happy.

Awesome video! Thanks for sharing your amazing food forest!!

Nice work. Love all the figs & glad to hear persimmons made the list. Good job layering 😊 Jealous of your growing zone but also couldn't imagine the long term boiling heat.

Just found your channel!! this is so inspiring!

Terry Durham is my cousin, he know s his elderberries for sure!

OG from day one and forever. I always dream for a food forest.

Did you know that if you take your first fruits, first produce, and write that on them and take them to church and put in the collection pan, your harvest will produce way more than expected. Give God all the Glory!! God Bless you!!! Also did you know you can contact tree companies that shred their trees and they will for free dump the wood chips in your yard.

Just so you're aware, there is no god, there is no magic. You're not going to a heaven or a hell. Quit being scared and a sheep. Science, the scientific process and love are all you need. You're welcome.

Everything looks amazing.. it must be true that everything is bigger in Taxes!! So of my trees are way older and half that size... I am a zone 5 and we have good winters here. Wonder if that's why it's a lot slower growing. And the sound was great!!!

Love your forest! Seems like such a peaceful place for prayer and solitude. We'd like to get some cuttings, do you know when you'll have more available?

Wow. The 401K food forest is looking great TD. I reckon that soon you're going to have more produce than you know what to do with :) I was wondering whether you have thought about geese ? I mixed geese with chickens quite successfully. And they are better than a guard dog or cats against the predators. Good eating too.

Our rain gutters are plumbed to our pond. We have 3 separate zones of gray water that are plumbed direct to the back food forest

That is an excellent use of land. I am working toward something similar on my property in zone 8a Ga. If I were you, I would look into getting some of the cold hardy citrus hybrids for the property. There is the Thomasville and Yuzu that are good down to the single digits, plenty for zone 8a.
