JULY KITCHEN GARDEN TOUR - growing polycultures, succession sowing & preparing for heat

Join me on a JULY TOIUR of our permaculture no-dig kitchen where I share my Dutch polyculture and 4 vegetable trials I'm doing this year. I also talk about how we prepare our garden for the heat wave, how I include lots of cut flowers in my raised beds and what we're doing now to ensure that there will be lots to harvest in the months to come.

    I bought several varieties four or five years ago but the bushes have hardly grown and just sit there and sulk. Some have died. This surprises me as we have lots of different Lonicera shrubs growing around the garden which thrive, but the Honey berries have never flowered as far as I can see. Certainly not the slightest hint of any fruit. We are on a heavy clay soil (quite alkaline) in France where admittedly lots of things struggle. What are the soil conditions in which yours have prospered? I am tempted to buy some more from the Dutch nursery you recommend but want to get started in the right way if I try again. I have some blueberries which are at least fruiting quite well in containers full of acid compost. What should I do to improve the soil if I am going to succeed with this great sounding fruit?

Or am I best to just get an additional male and female bush. I am looking forward to getting these delicious berries. I live in Southern Alberta, Canada.

    I have a question about bug's, fertilization & what can put web into leaves, making them stick together and others have holes? It's annoying. Not certain how to fix it. Also, any advice on why some berries are eaten 1/2 way on honeyberries or leaves are yellow & not all berries form on currants? What should I do? As organic or not as organic, but I think it is affecting one plant extremely much. My goji berries look like they have curly leaf issues. I'm new to bushes. Is there something not enough off or something eating it? We already have leaves, etc. Would be thankful 4 help. In zone 6B I think.

      The purpose of it was basically to compost large pieces of wood and that was already well on the way. Besides, the problem was that it got invaded by some perennial weeds and it was impossible to get rid of them as the where entangled with the roots of other plants. So we spread out the (mostly composted) material and covered it with cardboard to kill the weeds. I grew some winter squash there
