That purple spinach cuttings root SO easily and survives our Houston winters with ease. Year round vitamins on a stick.

Omg I am soooooo happpy I found your channel! My husband & I are getting out first house in Magnolia,Texas & I want to plant native species in our front & backyard. Your channel is super helpful!

I have a food forest in ATX that’s going strong. Some other perennial options I’ve done well with include Barbados cherry, Stella cherry, asparagus, artichokes, goji berries, grapes, curry tree, peanuts, jujubes, dwarf almond tree, and oyster mushrooms. I also plant mammoth Russian sunflowers to eat the seeds and they re-seed themselves every year so I don’t have to re-plant. Have fun!

@@paulplantu Pretty much. Barbados cherry needs some heavy covering. Plant it on the south side of your house as close to the wall as possible so it receives the daytime heat from the wall in the winter. The peanuts will reseed themselves if you leave a few in the ground to overwinter after harvest. Everything else has been a successful perennial for me here in 8b. Just make sure to fully research how to care for all of them in the winter. Always happy to answer any questions you have. Good luck!

WHISPERING

Loquat survived 18° without protection. I hear satsuma orange and Meyers lemons take frost well.

Loquat, Asian pear, and some Raspberries would be a good addition 😀

Thank you for a talented garden show. Also for Texas have you reviewing new items to our garden.

Love all the new plants! Your garden is looking really good, can’t wait to see how it progresses.

Is there any new updates on the edible jungle?? Please let us know. I live in Houston and loved watching your video. “Earth is my Planet” gets me everytime.

Im planting a lot of subtropical trees in Southeast TX. I have a 6 foot black sapote that survived in the ground these past 2 years. It was grown from seed, i think that makes a difference as far as surviving cold weather. My starfruit and bananas died back last year and came right back.

Have you considered a Mexican plum? They are native to Texas, cold hardy in your area, and the fruit tastes good right off the tree.

I am just a few weeks at starting small container garden and planting some plants, I always worry about snakes cause we do have quit a few. So far this week I’ve found two 😅

You've inspired me to search out native plants. I'm in Texas also. I recently found a guara, native to East Texas. 🎉

I wish i could try the texas persimmon one day.

New subscriber here. Was looking for some fellow houston growers. I’m in the process of creating a food forest here on the northwest side of houston on my tiny lot. Front yard swale planned. Working on some native prairie plants for pollination and possible natural area permit later down the road if I end up needing it. Already have a moringa, ice cream banana, blueberries, some raised Irish lazy garden beds in the front yard w tomatoes, strawberries, and supporting plants. Planning on cold hardy citrus, avocados, cherries, peaches, pawpaw, mulberry, and figs.

If you haven't already you have GOT to grow some loquat trees. They are everywhere where I am (Charleston, SC, zone 8b) and thrive in heat, humidity, but are also frost hardy. They produce tons of totally delicious little golden yellow fruits and have gorgeous tropical looking leaves. The Jelly Palm is another fruiting tree that grows well and survives frosts around here - the fruit isn't something you can really eat right off the vine, but can be cooked into gelatin free jams and jellies. Also FIGS - grow all the FIGS.

I don't think they ever sell us banana plants. We can only get plantains!! Naturally, we like bananas better. Our "bananas" rot on the tree and we still buy regular bananas. 🍌 The kumquat tree is hardy too!!

Don't plant trees so close to house because they get big and they deteriorate the roof of buildings. Just drive up the road and look at houses that have trees to close to house and you will see different levels of damage.
