Thanks for always saying "in our zone 5 garden." Many Youtube gardening channel don't do that, and it's so important for context.

I’m Thai being Asian, I’m so blown away with this amazing video. It’s like having heaven in your yard!!!!! I love to see people ultilize any ground area Around their living area. Who needs grocery store? 👍🙏😘❤️😍❤️❤️

Mercy! I remember being able to get up and down like you do, about 40 years ago! Marvelous garden! Thanks for the ideas on perennials to start.

Now that I am getting older, its get's harder to plant a garden every year. I have wanted to surround the house with more perennials. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!

I love perennials. They are so easy. One of our favorites is sea kale

One yard at a time! You got me hooked on gardening a few years ago and now I'm helping my friends get into gardening. I'm showing them it doesn't have to be a lot of work. I have picked less than 10 weeds so far this year.

You continue to amaze me with your organizational skills. The map you are providing for self sustainability is easy to read and well thought out. Thank you for sharing your love of gardening and inspiring so many.

This video is extremely helpful as we are zone 5. Just beginning to remove grass and replace it with fruit trees, food plants and xeriscape. Our city is very supportive even in the front yard. Thank you!

I REALLY appreciate you doing quick mentions of how to use each one! That's probably my top most useful info since I'm pretty clueless about most and googling so many is overwhelming. But getting a general idea of their use makes everything much clearer and helps me steer toward other things to plant, not just tomatos.

LOVE your straightforward, clear, logical, intentional (not rambling etc) presentation! Subscribed!

Perennials are a must for an ageing gardener. While I love trying out new things, I love the perennials that just keep on giving. Thanks for the ideas, info and the tour. I really like the idea of chives in the front yard. So many people would just think it's a pretty plant. I had a neighbor mistake my garlic leaves for daffodil leaves. I guess the front flower bed was a good choice!

thanks for mentioning your grow zone...

Your voice is so soothing. You should have your own TV show.

Hi Patrick, for a few years now I've really enjoyed your content and the relaxed delivery of the advice and guidance you share. Thank you. Re the Tree Collard's perennial credentials in zone 5, living as I do in the UK (zone 8: wet, mainly cold and overcast etc) I was skeptical I could grow them as a perennial and found no online sources of anybody who had tried. However, I found a perennial Kale called "Taunton Dean" which looks remarkably similar to the Tree Collard with resembling charactoristics such as turning purple in colder weather and growing tall like a tree or bushy dependant on how they are trained. Like the Tree Collard the Taunton Dean also grows via cuttings. I've read that they produce for over 5 years and some produce for 8+ years. I've had my plants for 2 years now and they've recently survived temperatures of -8 without any protection. I'm taking cuttings later this year and was wondering if you would like some?

We just moved and I have to start over with gardening. Love you channel and you have really amazing ideas. I will be getting my greenhouse again soon. Being zone 5 all the same plants will work!!

We moved into our new house and have a blank slate and many acres to work with. I find myself trying to figure out how to plant edible perennials in the bed’s closest to the house. This video has certainly encouraged and incentivized this activity. Thanks a bunch for all the work you put into creating this particular video.

For a second I thought this was a PBS special on YouTube.

I just found this video & am very grateful for it! We, too, live in zone 5. I'm on my way to creating a "food forest", so your video was extremely helpful! I've subscribed & am hoping to learn lots more from you!

Your videos are such a source of good information for somebody looking for sustainable perennial fruit and vegetable gardening.
