That mosaic... so special.

This food forest will live on long past any of us and stand as a memorial to the man your father was and the times that you shared. That, my friend, is a beautiful thing.

I'm so sorry to hear about your dad. Got choked up a couple times just thinking of all the memories and quality time it sounds like you've had in the garden with dad. You can hear it in your voice: the excitement of the soil, and digging into the layers of it - like poking a hole and grabbing back to a time when your dad cut back, and created each of those layers. The gentle touch on the mosaic tiles. Love the idea of a food forest, and sending love your way from Tampa as you and your mom go through the unexpected loss of your father. Loss is hard. Abrupt loss in harder. Enjoy your dad's garden today 🌸 He's right there with you today.

I got a little sad at times also...lost my Dad in 2012, Mom in 2015...thanks for sharing DTG

Thank you for sharing this beautiful food forest. Your dad sounds like a pretty amazing man. You are blessed to continue his legacy.

God bless buddy, gonna plant some choco puddin fruit and star fruit because of you and your dad now. We live on here in our earthly works.

Wow! Hard to believe that Food Forest is only 6 years old! Your Dad was a cool guy...not only letting you plant a Food Forest...but jumping in like he did...looking after it and mulching and all. I Love that its all edible and beautiful too! Great Tribute to your Dad...thanks for showing us that. Cate

David I lived in Ft.Lauderdale back in the '60s after I got out of the service. I can remember going down to the beach across from the Jolly Roger Hotel. Drove a RedTop Cab playing the Airport WOW Those were the days!!!! I was there when the Dallas Cowboys flew in and played the Miami Dolphins~(17 and 0)~~~ for GOD's sake Those Were Really the Days I enjoyed those years ago ;-)

Yeah, it has changed a lot. There are still bits and pieces with that vintage feel. I like to hit Dania and Hollywood to feel like I've gone back in time.

And so we all learn where David the good got his passion. I got my gardening passion from my mother and when she passed due to cancer .my busy omni directional life took a turn and all i wanted was "Garden Therapy " as my mom called it . So work became far less important than weeding ,planting and building planting beds.

Nice video David. Im sorry for the loss of your dad. He certainly taught his son a way of life to be proud of. Such a great little food forest, I could live back there happily!! Enjoy your time there and my positive thoughts are with you and your family. I enjoyed your book "Push the Zone". Took lots of notes, much to my hubbies frustration of me adding more to the honey-do list..haha

So glad you were able to come to South Florida to be with your family.

This is the best presentation from you I gave seen so far. Such a fine model for others to emulate!

God bless you, David the Good

Sorry to hear about your dad. I hope you and your family is doing well.

From a typical dismal, boring stark lawn to a gorgeous place to be. Very inspiring as I try to do the same in Far North California. WOW--such a tiny yard, I'm always wanting more with 1/2 acre. Well done.

What a wonderful representation of your Father. It's beautiful and I'm sure it will allow your Mom to have some peace in her life. Reflecting on the times you all worked together to make this beautiful forest could comfort you all. I'm so happy that you have this.

Awesome legacy that your Father left. Good stuff, David. Take care and God bless you! :)

Sorry for your loss!!

Wonderful food forest David. There is a lot of you in the forest. You and your father are leaving a legacy for the future family . Your family to come will enjoy this forest for a long time. I too enjoy all that my father gave me and it lives on in what I am doing in my gardens. Thank you for all that you have shared with me to build on my legacy to future gardeners. Sheila

love to see the progress from this project... and glad you were able to make it up there.

I love front and back yard fruit trees. Keep up.

Thank you from coconut creek fl. Enjoy watching. Didn’t think you could grow much in our sand but I’m still trying.

Thank you for sharing this! Very touching, as I grew up in the western side of Ft. Lauderdale, close to the New River Canal. We could never get our orange tree to grow much while I was growing up there. But we could smell the orange blossoms from Davie. After I moved out my Dad started growing low quats and they produced very well! Thanks for the memories of the sandy soil!

Hi David😍 if you want a very plenty of mulberry fruit harvest you have to prune the branches, then it will produce abundance of fruits always ❤️❤️❤️

Sorry to hear about your dad. I got my passion from my father in San Diego county, but I live in Fort Lauderdale now. Wow! I had to relearn and rethink gardening here! I've adopted methods from Mel Bartholomew's Square Foot Gardening, and several organic KZreadrs. That yam...I didn't know that was any kind of yam, but grows wild around here.

I love these videos, I wish I lived in a warmer climate. Maybe one day.

beautiful

Hi Dave! Been following you for a while. I love seeing the possibilities for what I can do in my yard down here when it's so easy to get discouraged by all the cool things the temperate gardeners are up to. I'm so sorry to hear about your father. I wish we lived in a better world where I could offer you and mom help since I live in the area without being seen as a probable ax murderer. As it stands, I hope your family and church family are rallying around you now and putting the light around you. Wishing you comfort and peace.

This is awesome. I've been trying to figure out how to and what to plant.. I thought a small food forest would be fun. I have a side yard, about 20 by 50 foot I can use. Trying not to over think it but I don't know where to start

So sorry to hear about your dad. :( Now I know where you got your green thumb. :)

I grew up in Florida and our soil was greatBut my mother was a big believer in compost. We grew things that are just coming to the stores, she not only did your chop and drop but didn’t call it that. We had chickens, ducks, rabbits, pigs so we had lots of fertilizer. We also lived on a river so we had the benefit of the fish.
