[00:00:03]>> Look at this.

[00:00:06]>> Oh my goodness.

[00:00:07]>> These are huge Planet of the Apes with nobody nobody coming in here doing anything.

[00:00:16]These berries will survive. These are what? Freedom blackberries.

[00:00:19]>> Yeah, these are the freedom blackberries. Yeah.

[00:00:23]>> All right. You got to go find something to put them in.

[00:00:34]I mean, they're just hanging all over everywhere, finding them.

[00:00:44]>> There's a mountain.

[00:00:46]>> Hold on. Papa's coming.

[00:00:52]Yep. That's what lay them right there and we'll pick them up. We going to wash them >> in a spot.

[00:01:03]>> Let Grace pick these and put them in there cuz we lay had to lay them down.

[00:01:06]There's so many.

[00:01:09]>> Don't just throw them. Lay them in there easy.

[00:01:11]>> Easy.

[00:01:11]>> Cuz they're overripe.

[00:01:14]The >> That one's mushy. But it'll it'll make a pie. Look how many.

[00:01:19]>> That'll make great pie.

[00:01:20]>> There's one underneath, too. see it.

[00:01:26]I mean, look at that. Nobody watered.

[00:01:29]Nobody took care of this.

[00:01:32]That soil in here was so rich.

[00:01:35]>> And it get This is on the outside. It gets its water from the outside.

[00:01:39]>> Look at here.

[00:01:42]>> Oh, man.

[00:01:46]>> And then they're down here.

[00:01:49]>> They're all up on here. I mean, this is crazy. Look at that.

[00:01:54]>> Some of them are going to have to be washed.

[00:01:55]>> Lay it up in the thing so it won't fall.

[00:01:58]Yeah. I'm going to wash all of them.

[00:02:06]>> Here's one.

[00:02:06]>> It's almost like scary.

[00:02:10]>> That is awesome, isn't it?

[00:02:19]I mean, look at this.

[00:02:22]Absolutely no effort with these blackberries.

[00:02:25]>> They've been just left to themselves.

[00:02:28]>> If you can get some growing just anywhere that they like with good soil, you can't kill them.

[00:02:38]So, you got to duplicate this soil somewhere.

[00:03:00]This is one giant tree. Now, we planted this as a little T90 tree, didn't we?

[00:03:05]This is >> Deep South Homestead, a haven of just food everywhere.

[00:03:15]These are little T90 mulberries.

[00:03:19]No, >> this was sold to us as a white Pakistani.

[00:03:23]>> Yeah, it ain't white, is it?

[00:03:24]>> Ain't no white Pakistani on this thing, that's for sure.

[00:03:28]>> You know how to pull it on down, Papa?

[00:03:30]>> Huh?

[00:03:31]>> Pull it on down.

[00:03:33]Let's see. Well, right here.

[00:03:39]And you see there's a lot of red ones.

[00:03:44]But they're just starting to turn.

[00:03:45]>> Yeah. This was sold to us as a white Pakistani.

[00:03:51]>> They're just starting to turn.

[00:03:55]So, this is a later mulberry than the big tree.

[00:03:58]>> This one, uh, this was a guaranteed one that you ain't going to get a freeze on it, I guess.

[00:04:05]>> Yeah. And it did really good.

[00:04:08]We just can't reach way up there.

[00:04:10]>> They're just little. But look how tall.

[00:04:13]What What would you say? 30 foot.

[00:04:15]>> Uh it's probably 20, 25 maybe, >> you think?

[00:04:20]>> And then look at our pecan trees. That one and that one. Danny said the pecans are loaded.

[00:04:28]And then this is the mulberry by the pond. Look at it.

[00:04:35]It is huge and taken over.

[00:04:42]And we did see a bass strike in the pond. It is up some since the last rain, but we did see a bass in it while ago.

[00:04:51]>> Put these in there.

[00:04:54]>> At least we have a few mulberries.

[00:04:56]This one pop, if you can reach, pull it down.

[00:05:01]See, there's mulberries everywhere.

[00:05:14]That's nice.

[00:05:17]So, we'll have some right in the face, Papa.

[00:05:23]>> All right, let's check the blueberries.

[00:05:26]>> Right here.

[00:05:27]>> Pull that one down. Yeah, let's get this one cuz this one has some pretty ones on it.

[00:05:54]>> Cadillacing. Angela, there's that word.

[00:05:58]>> Five years from a switch to a >> from a tree this big right here to this right here in 5 years >> loaded with mulberries.

[00:06:07]>> The beauty of Deep South Homestead.

[00:06:29]Just so many everywhere. They're just the trees are just loading up.

[00:06:34]This is the alapahos.

[00:06:38]You hear them beans?

[00:06:41]That tree we That's a chestnut tree.

[00:06:46]>> Look how it's growed. How tall is it now?

[00:06:48]>> It's probably 20t tall and it's got the little stamman sticking out on it. The bees are just pollinating the heck out of it.

[00:06:57]I mean, they're pollinating like crazy.

[00:06:59]>> And these are going to be ready over the next 3 to four weeks. Somebody's going to be picking blueberries.

[00:07:05]>> Be picking blueberries.

[00:07:07]>> All right. Show them how many we got.

[00:07:09]It's been >> What did you pick, Grace?

[00:07:12]>> A thousand.

[00:07:13]>> About a thousand.

[00:07:16]>> You got like a thousand of them.

[00:07:18]>> A bowl full anyway. Huh?

[00:07:20]>> Got a bowl full. Yeah, that's not bad for just the Actually, it's the first picking.

[00:07:26]>> Yeah. Well, we got a couple of handfuls a few days ago.

[00:07:30]>> Yeah, like that.

[00:07:34]>> So, Grace got to come help with the deep south picking.

[00:07:40]>> Yep.

[00:07:42]Got all these in. Look at that.

[00:07:44]>> So, we got blueberries.

[00:07:45]>> Take them home. Spread them out.

[00:07:46]>> Mmberries and blackberries.

[00:07:48]>> Yeah. This was the very kingdom over here. I mean, we still didn't even pick this tree here. I mean, look at it.

[00:07:57]All of them getting ready on it.

[00:08:01]>> This is like one of those powder ones.

[00:08:03]>> Yeah, it's like a got a powdery look to them. They're a little bit different.

[00:08:07]>> When you put them in, you can see the difference. They powdery.

[00:08:09]>> Yeah, they kind of got a powdery look.

[00:08:12]All right.

[00:08:14]Well, >> so we brought them back deep south one more time. Yeah, we had to come back and Deep South is one of those kind of places. It's like it's like a Garden of Eden. You come over here and you're like, uh, well, we actually come over here just to check the blueberries. And we got over here and saw there was a lot of them over here. So, we started picking them. And as we picked them, I told Wanda, I said, "Let's go check the mulberries." And we was overchecking the mberries. I told I said, "Let's look at the figs." The figs are about two weeks out maybe.

[00:08:49]And I said, "Well, while y'all doing that, I'm going to walk over to the high tone and look in them. Make sure the weeds ain't coming up in there everywhere." And when I walked over there, >> I didn't get it on camera.

[00:08:59]>> Oh my goodness. I went to holler and I was like, "You got to see this." It was like Planet of the Apes. Like Cuz Strickland said that time when he was here, those blackberries, I'm not exaggerating. They're this big around and that long. Just >> just hanging everywhere. They're just hanging. And I told Wanda, I said, "You got to get over here now. Leave them little moberries alone." And guys, we've done nothing.

[00:09:24]>> We hadn't come over here and fertilized or watered or nothing. We've done nothing.

[00:09:29]>> That soil was so rich in that high tunnel still. And the berries roots are growed underneath the outside edge of it. They're getting water from the outside edge of the high tunnel.

[00:09:38]It's amazing. Them things are just Cadillacing. There it is. Angela Cadillacing again, girl.

[00:09:47]Guys, the girls went out and picked the blackberries here at Pan Grove. And look at the blackberries at Pan Grove. Now, this is the tame ones, the freedom blackberries. We was over at Deep South this morning picking these blueberries here. I went in the high tunnel and I come out and I told Wanda, I said, "Uh, look at the difference."

[00:10:10]>> Ain't that crazy?

[00:10:12]Isn't that >> That's probably not the biggest one.

[00:10:13]>> That ain't none of the biggest ones.

[00:10:15]>> I mean, some of them are huge.

[00:10:17]>> These things are like giant. Look at that.

[00:10:22]Look at the difference. Deep South, everything was so fertile over there for after all the years of us just taking care of everything in the soil, you know, making it like it's supposed to be. And we ain't got there yet here. Then we picked tomatoes this morning at Pecan Grove. Miss Wonder went out there and got two off of her >> cucumbers.

[00:10:43]>> Got our cucumbers. And we was at Deep South. We looked at one of our old peach trees and there was some peaches on it.

[00:10:48]>> So, we got quite a >> snap beans this morning. Good old Cherokee yellow wax beans.

[00:10:54]>> So, we're good.

[00:10:55]>> Good. Everything's just good.

[00:10:57]Everything's Cadillacing. Angela.

[00:11:02]Well, after all the flooding, came over.

[00:11:05]The pond's back almost full again. Uh, look at here.

[00:11:11]Kapa worms here on one of our trees. We missed them on this other tree behind us. They're all gone. This one's still got three or four or five left on it.

[00:11:19]I'm actually going to take these and I'm going to take them over to Deep South and see if I can get them started on some of the trees over there.

[00:11:28]>> But everybody want to know what a Kataba worm is. And that's it.

[00:11:31]>> That's them. They come in different colors, shapes. I mean, they're, you know, they're just >> But they're all the same worm.

[00:11:36]>> Yeah, they're all the same thing. same family. Anyways, >> yeah, I'm excited now.

[00:13:53]Look at here.

[00:13:54]>> Look at there.

[00:13:55]>> That is crazy.

[00:13:56]>> Got to check it.

[00:13:59]>> Peaches.

[00:14:03]We weren't even expecting this either.

[00:14:05]>> Oh, this one's ready. Ha.

[00:14:08]>> That one right there. Maybe. Look at there, Grace.

[00:14:15]>> This one ready in a day.

[00:14:17]>> Okay, we'll put it on the cabinet.

[00:14:21]>> Those are little.

[00:14:22]>> Up high up here.

[00:14:24]>> Wait, one above your head. Way up.

[00:14:26]Straight up.

[00:14:27]>> I said up high. There's one above our head here. We might have one a piece.

[00:14:31]>> Yep. This one will be ready.

[00:14:33]>> Looks like something's kind of touched it.

[00:14:36]>> That one ain't ready.

[00:14:38]>> Now, we've already picked mayh off all those tall.

[00:14:42]>> Yeah.

[00:14:42]>> And I've made pepper jelly. Now, is there any grapes on the >> scuppernongs? These are scuppernongs. I cut them back.

[00:14:54]They are They should start making some here before long. Something little bee.

[00:14:59]>> They are. Look.

[00:15:01]>> Oh, yeah. They're hanging on there.

[00:15:02]Yeah. Yeah.

[00:15:03]>> You just got to look for them.

[00:15:06]>> Yeah, they're there.

[00:15:09]I cut everything back where they get a fresh start. They done start to climb back up in this tree again.

[00:15:16]Wow.

[00:15:21]This plum tree was loaded with blooms this year.

[00:15:25]And I guess the trees must have the lake trees must have got them. I'm trying to see if I see any.

[00:15:32]>> These trees have taken off, too. These were switches.

[00:15:36]>> These trees were >> just 5 years ago, >> man. Have these things grow.

[00:15:44]>> And what kind is this? A plum tree here in the >> These are both That's a Methley. That's a wild one there.

[00:15:51]>> That's a wild plum that's come up in here. Yeah, cuz here we had a wild plum tree over here and I grafted a methley onto it and the methley has >> taken off.

[00:16:00]>> Took off and left a little wild plum down low here.

[00:16:03]>> Ain't that crazy?

[00:16:04]>> And the methley has just taken over. I mean, it is literally >> But there's no plums on them.

[00:16:11]>> Nope. I guess that late to spell cuz the wild one bloomed first.

[00:16:17]>> Yeah. And while it was still in bloom, this one came on and then the freeze came and I guess it got all the blooms.

[00:16:27]>> I'm guessing >> so I can tell you this from experience, the methle plum is not a good plum for the south.

[00:16:37]>> We have hardly got any.

[00:16:38]>> We have hardly ever got any plums off these trees. Now, the Santa Rosa makes plums almost every year.

[00:16:47]Even the wild one, it got so it it even froze the wild one and everything.

[00:16:51]>> That's crazy.

[00:16:52]>> That's just crazy.

[00:17:03]We've already harvested huckleberries off of the huckleberry trees on the sidewalk.

[00:18:08]Thank you guys from Pan Grow.

[00:18:10]>> No, >> you going to do it on Deep South.

[00:18:12]>> We're going to throw this one on Deep South. So, you got to redo your ending.

[00:18:15]>> Okay. Thank you guys from Deep South Homestead.
