In this video, I take you on a spring garden tour of my yard, garden and food forest and show you the incredible things I'm growing that the naysayers told me I couldn't grow in ground in North Carolina! Despite freezing cold winters and hot, humid summers with monsoon rainfall, these plants are thriving. This one is for all the naysayers that told me I couldn't do it!

I give you a garden update on all the special fruits and vegetables I'm growing and explain how I've been successful at growing things where many others have failed. The key is in creating microclimates that are warmer in winter and cooler in summer. I break it down for you in the video and in the links below.

Heat And Cold Protection Methods:    • Cold, Frost And Heat Protection  
How To Make A MultiGrafted Fruit Tree:    • Turn One Fruit Tree Into 3 FRUIT TREE...
