Wow. I love her! THIS is exactly how you live as you preach and inspire people to come along. I am super impressed with her. And inspired. Motivated and reminded that this is not an impossible thing to do for a community. And what an amazing contribution it is. What an amazing thing to leave behind.
What's really interesting about this is that back before modern convenience and supply lines it was the norm for each household to have their own garden and for communities to supplement eachother's food so that everyone benefitted. As we edge ever close to a economic collapse due to the unsustainable cost of living we are seeing people like this revert to the old ways in an effort to earn their own food/financial security. Mad respect, I wish them every success and hope many more can follow their example.
I work with climate change implementation in Denmark and what you are doing here is super cool and inspirational! I really hope more people will think about producing themselves.
This video inspired me to do something with my backyard. Of course, I need the proper techniques and tools to do this. I REALLY want to grow my OWN vegetables! Thanks for the video!!!
I love the backyard space! I definitely need more experience and help with growing my own food. It's been trial and error so far. Thanks for the video! 😊
I am a 62 year old woman who created a micro farm in my backyard 2 years ago in Northern California. Everyone is amazed by the amount of food I produce. I love sharing, and encouraging others to get growing!
You are also doing your videos to teach us how to garden and for that I thank you. I have just picked my 3rd harvest of green beans that I purchased the seed from MI Gardener and I am happy to can them up and my family will enjoy this winter.
I started a garden this past spring exactly becadening before, but here I was all summer, going outside, pulling weeds here and there, talking to my plants, telling them what a great job they were doing, getting excited when I saw baby fruits on the plants, getting concerned when I saw locusts eating the leaves, watering them when it wouldn't rain due to our drought, then the excitement of learning the skill of home canning, and jumping for joy at realizing I made an entire dish ompletely from produce from my own garden. I feel my garden has given more to me than I have given to my garden, but mostly it's given me peace of mind and a feeling of connection with the earth.use of the shortages. I've never enjoyed gar
Ypu have literally put tears 😭 😢on my eyes because that is exactly how I feel. I started to grow my garden out of fun but started to grow it out of fear on shortages. Thankfully my mom was able to walk me out of that and I now enjoy 😊 spending time in my garden and really enjoy what it gives me ❤😊🎉. Thank you for your words!!
Having been born and raised in Los Angeles, this makes me proud to see. What's happening back home is becoming what we had to leave to create here in Kentucky. I hope this grows and grows🍉🥒🥬🫑🌶🌽🥕🫛🍓
This is really wonderful! It's great to see that you're teaching the next generation about food security and how everyone deserves sustainable, healthy, high-quality food. You're doing amazing work! Edit: On a side note, Epicurious had a great article about how to avoid tears when cutting an onion, and they found that chilling the onion, either in a fridge or freezer for roughly 20 minutes, had the greatest effect in preventing tears.
That a fantastic group of dedicated young people, helping others and bringing people together from all backgrounds. Makes me proud to be a Southern Californian. My parents both grew up near Huntington Park, living through the Depression and World War II. One of each set of my grandparents had been raised on a farm, and Victory gardens where something people relied on for fresh food during the War. Granddad also had fruit trees, and they shared/traded with neighbors, and sometimes put out tables to sell extra produce during the summer. I love seeing Los Angeles coming back to these ways, with the added benefit of new methods of growing and connecting with others of like mind. What a perfect way to raise a child to eat vegetables. :)
I used to grow a lot of extra food in my garden to bring to the food pantry. You've inspired me to get back to doing that. I will be adding more beds this year to make sure I have plenty.
The HOA in my neighborhood would come unglued at the seams, if we tried to turn the front yard into a garden of edibles. I grow in my backyard and have about 20 fruit trees in my small backyard. This year I plan to utilize my side of the house beds to grow as well. Nothing low growing because of cats and such but my corn and vining beans are going in. We will see how that grows! Grass serves no purpose for me! Great job guys! 💜
I'm so happy to find a California based gardening help channel! I've been wanting to start gardening forquite some time and your videos are helpful and inspiring! Thank you for all your work!
I live in a small town surrounded by farms in central NY - and it’s a food desert. Which is crazy! All of the farming culture, and few food options. There are several projects in town that are having a great impact. I have my entire front yard converted to vegetables and herbs, with a few flowers. My hope is that as residents are out walking their dogs or playing they see my garden and what is possible. Maybe someday our village will be a food center!
The thing I noticed most about garden fresh is the fresh produce taste like real food that has big flavor. The produce at the grocery stores is bland and some is just flavorless because it never gets ripe or matures. It’s amazing how many people haven’t had a tomato that was harvested when ripe.
Also have 20 growbags and 4 raised beds. Always looking for ideas and tips! I'm envious of your peach tree! A bit too cold here, I have apple and pear trees though. The silver lining in these terrible times is that a lot of people turned to gardening.
Since heat rises, even inside buildings, I imagine part of the success of rooftop gardens is due to the heat inside the building acting almost like a low power heating pad beneath the plants, helping to offset the cooler temperatures of Toronto's northerly latitude for those plants not in greenhouses.
That was one of the BEST urban gardens I've ever seen, precisely because it was so small. Most urban gardens I've seen are either bigger or don't use the space as efficiently. I'm WAY impressed, Luay! What an inspiring TH-cam post, Rob. Please keep this series going!!!!
Could not agree more! Certain TH-cam homesteaders are really fueling the fear, which is not helpful for the vast majority of home gardeners, who just want to enjoy it! Saving money and getting great quality produce is a bonus. Nobody is self-sustaining, it just isn't possible without community.
This video makes me happy and just goes to show that you don't really need a lot of space to make growing food at home a reality! Great set-up and looking forward to seeing more of these videos :) Thanks Rob as always for never disappointing with your content.
Lastly, thanks for putting this out there. Far too many people in the USA gloss over the huge problem of food security, distribution, and availability.
Thank you Dr. Benjamin Goldstein. Informative and inspiring. It is a complicated issue. To add into the mix, I observe that you also need time to be poor. I live on a huge social housing estate in the UK and work with foodbanks etc. When you are working 2 jobs, raising kids etc and so often have chaotic lives on top, there is neither the time or the headspace for this. I speak as someone who thinks very much as you do. The pandemic has brought many things to the forefront, not least how unequal society is! Keep plugging away! Stephx
Washington and I was gonna rent a plot. But gardeners weren’t even able to harvest their own crops since people would steal them unfortunately. But you’ve given me a lot of inspiration and ideas on how to start my garden. My space is about the same as yours. Thank you for sharing.
Wow truly inspirational. We all need to use our gifts to save the world 🙏🏻💕🙏🏻💕💫 this is the most amazing idea I have ever seen and we need this to be a movement in every city, state and all over the world. This is just one amazing way to save our planet and the people who live in it. I am in total support of what you are doing here and pray to see this on a larger scale. 💫💕💫💕💫💕🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I picked up a comment somewhere recently, about other issues, that also applies to these concerns for food security and food justice: "It's up to us, because the government can't fix it and the corporations won't fix it." I know that will sound radical and maybe even dangerous to some (I can't prevent that), but I choose to be part of possible solutions by developing a mini-forest garden (food forest) on my residential lot, and sharing much of the produce at local free sharing tables. Big bonuses: We're eating a lot better at our house these days. And I'm getting some excellent exercise that I need. And I'm connecting with neighbors who walk by my big corner garden.
I think this, along with rooftop gardens is the future. Not only for healthy and sustainable food for the community, but to reduce our reliance and contributions to corporations.
That's terrible about only 2 stores for millions of people, you're fortunate to have a nice yard to garden in , teaching your daughter how to grow food and eat healthy is great parenting... my Granddaughter turned her front yard into a food garden also, their children are involved with the garden too.
Great video topic in these times. I only have a small garden (100 sq ft) right now but a 1/4 acre lot. Unfortunately my city doesn't allow backyard chickens and I can't afford to move to the country because land prices here have become insane. But I bought about 5 lbs of various vegetable seeds this year, mostly storage crops like beets, carrots, etc and if things get really bad I'll be ripping out all my grass to grow food, market garden style. Unfortunately I don't have a good relationship with my neighbors and it doesnt seem like they are interested in one, but I have a few friends who live within a couple blocks and I'll be helping them convert their yards into gardens if things get really bad too.
How not to cry (as hard) while cutting onions😢: tip 1- rub your knife sides with olive oil. It helps keep the juice contained Tip 2- onion enzymes are attracted to the most moist thing (your eyes) so keep a damp towel near by while cutting.
I have been guarding for the past 18 years. I no longer purchase vegetables or fruit from the grocery stores. I enjoy teaching people how to feed themselves my main point is it can be done at low cost. And it can be done without man-made additives.
Thank you and I am part native American also. I think that colonizers building condos and golf courses (remember Oka) on these lands is more insidious,than people growing food for survival and nutrition
At this point the majority of people need to be growing food/ raising small livestock (chickens, rabbits, pigs, quail, etc) with the way food prices and housing costs are increasing each year this will help a lot of people. If you’re unable to grow certain crops or livestock trade with your neighbors and bring back bartering.
It’s mad , is it me but why is it always those who have not a lot do the most, it seems that in the USA or UK the poor areas tend to do the projects that helps their surroundings more, our country’s could earn more from people like us. Open your eyes and minds you don’t need a lot of money for fresh vegetables, God bless you All for their hard work and dedication. ❤️🇬🇧🙏
Nice segment. Having grown up in that area, gardening or growing your own food is nothing new to the area, it's just trendy now. Everybody's mama, grandma, and uncles were growing vegetables in the backyard. My uncle had pigs and chickens also. He lived on 48th. That's how family's survived. Plus many people were from Southern states and were accustomed to growing their own food.
Greetings all. We are pleased to announce that NxT Horizon LLC has been named one of three partners in the ground breaking city of Phoenix Arizona Backyard Garden Project. The free program - which will accept up to 90 applicants - will supply each family with backyard farming technologies, and one year of training and assistance. Through the program the city aims for residents to improve health, promote physical activity, lessen food insecurity and hunger, as well as their food budget. NxT will focus on aquaponics.
In the US have about just as much land dedicated to lawns as our entire domestic horticulture production. Just think what we could do if we did even a fraction of that growing inside our communities.
11:45 To not cry while you cut onions use ski googles or put a match book in your mouth with the matches out. The sulfur helps with the onions and you will not cry, I promise it works!
It used to be everyday folks didn’t have front lawns, they had gardens. Victory gardens were common during WWI and WWII. Lawns were wasteful and the rich had them to basically show off their wealth. Post WWII lawns for the middle class became common as a show of prosperity. My house was built in 1922 and I hate lawns. I don’t like to mow and water is too expensive to waste on a lawn that doesn’t even sequester carbon. So now I have raised beds in my front yard on timers and a drip system. I have fruit trees. My yard has to work for me and pay me back for the water pay for. I just want green and pretty and vegetables can be just as pretty as wasteful ornamental landscaping. So go with front yard gardens. Down with lawns.
Just a note on the Australian Spinach or Warrigal Greens it contains high levels of oxalates and should be blanched prior to eating to reduce those levels. Nerd signing off.
These are the gardens our country now wants to stop. Last week articles in various publications saying backyard/frontyard gardens are leading to climate change! Don't they realize plants clean the air? Dept. of Ag wants people to register their gardens, why? It's very apparent we can't rely of government to feed us. Plants those seeds & grow that food!
If you pet your dog while working in the garden you get ALL FOUR of the good-feeling hormones: oxytocin from the dog; endorphins from cardio; dopamine from ticking things off your to do list; and serotonin from getting sun in your eyes in the morning.
Super knowledge- save every SACRED SEED - tomatoes (75-245seeds) pears(3)apples(5-10)papayas(800+). Also nix baths & showers they waste over 17 gallons of water. Do George Carlin PITS&Parts wish washcloth & bar of Irish spring soap. Every action with humble conservative thought!(tp nix washcloths to two)
Distribution systems. Since we in the USA have a mostly capitalist system which caters to those with the capital... disparities are rampant. I have volunteered with food banks, and know that people of all races deal with hunger. And another thing: many who are dealing with hunger, while they might have access to nutrient dense, real foods, have no idea how to prepare them. They have been sold on the convivence aspect for so long, they have never developed cooking skills. Many people either don't have the knowledge or time to take raw, unprocessed foods, and turn them into delicious, nutritious meals. They want to be able to pop something into a microwave, or toaster oven, and wait a few minutes, then eat. I think this is because there is no emphasis on self care taught in schools any longer. And many impoverished people feel that they are richer if they don't have to cook for themselves... i.e. they are rich if they have someone else serving them food. Even if it is a factory putting peaches in a can, downtown.
I grow food but not at road level. What about petrol/diesel polutants? I started growing for real this year and already have very healthy celery, zucchini, violon squash and green onions. All on a terrace area. I have just started seeds of tomatoes, bell peppers and hot peppers. Then I plan to grow green beans and bush beans. Not sure, at the moment, how I can grow more carbs. but little by little as I am 73.
Ummm, you're not supposed to eat "Australian Spinach" aka Warrigal Greens raw. It contains oxalates (or anti-nutrients) so you should really steam or blanch any but the smallest leaves before eating them. Massive big ups for growing an Aussie & NZ bush food icon though!
Wow. I love her! THIS is exactly how you live as you preach and inspire people to come along. I am super impressed with her. And inspired.

Good job... We can do this!! Even if everyone just grows 10-25% of their diet it will have a HUGE impact!!!
Really enjoyed this! Good ideas, especially as you narrated how guild plants helped each other! Thanks!

Thanks!!! Reminds me of "allotments" in the UK but those cost money. We all need a free "space" to garden. Gardening feeds your soul.
Great video. Everything is possible with some ingenuity.

Dieses Gespräch ist ein Beweis für die transformative Kraft des Dialogs. Es hat das Potenzial, Köpfe und Perspektiven zu former.
Wow- you are so inspiring! I love to see people get empowered by growing their own food- the most important thing of all. You rock! ❤
Finally, some positivity in the world .. I needed this !
Such an amazing program for NYC youth. Way to empower our future!!!

Always a contentious topic when you bring socio-economic levels into the mix.
I absolutely love this
Nice! I expanded my urban garden from 400 to 600 sq ft last fall, using cardboard/compost no-dig method. I'm in NB.
I think this, along with rooftop gardens is the future. Not only for healthy and sustainable food for the community, but to reduce our reliance and contributions to corporations.

Backyard gardens, flashback to 70's in da Bronx
Imagine if every neighborhood invested in each other like this.
Nice, very inspirational.
Thanks for your content.
Food sovereignty! Yes 💯
Wonderful!!!
How not to cry (as hard) while cutting onions😢: tip 1- rub your knife sides with olive oil. It helps keep the juice contained Tip 2- onion enzymes are attracted to the most moist thing (your eyes) so keep a damp towel near by while cutting.
Thanks for this! From a proud Los Angeles resident!
I have been guarding for the past 18 years. I no longer purchase vegetables or fruit from the grocery stores. I enjoy teaching people how to feed themselves my main point is it can be done at low cost. And it can be done without man-made additives.
Thank you and I am part native American also. I think that colonizers building condos and golf courses (remember Oka) on these lands is more insidious,than people growing food for survival and nutrition
Вы большие молодцы
At this point the majority of people need to be growing food/ raising small livestock (chickens, rabbits, pigs, quail, etc) with the way food prices and housing costs are increasing each year this will help a lot of people. If you’re unable to grow certain crops or livestock trade with your neighbors and bring back bartering.
trick to not cry while cutting onions, sharper knife.please keep in touch with this group and do follow ups.

Growing up you used to be able to walk home from school and eat oranges off your neighbors tree.
Detroit has been doing this for like 10 years

They want to be able to pop something into a microwave, or toaster oven, and wait a few minutes, then eat. I think this is because there is no emphasis on self care taught in schools any longer. And many impoverished people feel that they are richer if they don't have to cook for themselves... i.e. they are rich if they have someone else serving them food. Even if it is a factory putting peaches in a can, downtown.
I grow food but not at road level. What about petrol/diesel polutants? I started growing for real this year and already have very healthy celery, zucchini, violon squash and green onions. All on a terrace area. I have just started seeds of tomatoes, bell peppers and hot peppers. Then I plan to grow green beans and bush beans. Not sure, at the moment, how I can grow more carbs. but little by little as I am 73.
Yummy 😋 😋

everything is free, it just requires labor
Tested for pollution levels from cars and the city particles?
Your videos are amazing. I really like it. I am a new subscriber to your channel. Can I talk with you Food Secure Future?
Ummm, you're not supposed to eat "Australian Spinach" aka Warrigal Greens raw. It contains oxalates (or anti-nutrients) so you should really steam or blanch any but the smallest leaves before eating them. Massive big ups for growing an Aussie & NZ bush food icon though!
“Food insecurity” is just the worst nomenclature
