You are the gardening OG here on YT. I’ve been following you for over a decade!!! Really appreciate your info. I’ve grown in Alaska, Kansas, Pennsylvania, and now starting in North Carolina. You rock John!!!!!
I live in the So Cal high desert on the border of zone 8b/9a. This area experiences extreme summer heat and freezing winter temps in addition to bouts of fierce winds. Last year was my first year gardening here. I have a VERY small garden area and last summer the tomatoes and squash took up too much precious space, and although I love both, this year I am planning on planting more nutritionally dense leafy greens including longevity, Egyptian, galilee, malibar and perpetual spinach. I failed at moringa last year so am trying it again this year. John, you commented last summer that I was likely killing it with too much water, so I will be much more careful this time around. I will be planting miner's lettuce, purslane, several dandelion varieties, colorful chard (it is still producing even after days of freezing temps) and a plethora of edible and medicinal herbs and flowers, in addition to some heat tolerant lettuce like Black Seeded Simpson which did really well until the temps hit over 100F. I had good luck with Japanese eggplant, okra and basil, so will give them a spot of their own again. I am also planting a few more pepper varieties this year. I kind of went crazy with figs last year. They are still very small, and if they survive the winter, I am going to have to figure out where to put them! I grow microgreens most all year and have given them most of my kitchen counter by a sunny window (my cat, however, does not approve of this arrangement). I have learned so much by watching your videos. Thanks to you, I would be willing to bet that I have the healthiest garden soil in my area! I look forward to the videos of your new home's garden and can't wait to see what wonderous things you accomplish!
Hi John! I consider you one of the 'Green Kings'. I am starting to grow more greens indoors in my sunroom, since they don't need to be pollinated, and the bugs and critters like them as much as I do, I can't keep them off my plants. Right now I'm growing about 3 different kinds of kale. I want to grow more of the asian greens like you do, I love greens. I have bought seeds, and will start planting them indoors, and experimenting, with what grows well indoors or not. I am in Zone 8b Northeast Central Texas. I was Zone 8a, but I heard recently our zone changed to 8b, not sure why. I am fairly new at this, but I want to grow as much as I can. I will be able to spend more time focusing on my gardening when I retire, in a year or so. I wish I could borrow you for a while, lol, until I learn everything. :)
This is the first time I have watched one of your videos. Do you have any rooms for rent? Wow you have so much beautiful natural nutrition. So very nice. Excellent video.
A loquat tree has been growing in my garden since 2013, has once again set fruit, zone 7 b for example, frost is usually critical for fruit, with luck and a mild winter there will be harvests.

Hello I’m commenting on this recent video in hope to get some advice from an old video about 3 reasons why compost tea won’t work I’m looking all over for what would be some good options for store bought compost to make compost tea with? I was looking at the Espoma Organic Land and Sea Gourmet Compost would this be a good choice what else would be good or better? I’m not looking for any premade compost tea in a bag either.

I really like hearing HOW you prepare your garden foods to eat. I love gardening, but I'm not always sure what all I can do with my produce.
Perfect! I'm in 9b!!!!

I once steamed a large whole
Spinach leaf, used to wrap a meat conche'. It worked
Nice!
Looks great John where is your radishes
Always love your gardens, and really want to find the tree collards! Also would love to know where you get your watering/drip hoses!
Tree Collards can be ordered from www.projecttreecollard.org/ and many other places. I use DIG brand irrigation and usually buy them at Home Depot
I think the dark green Bok Choy is called Tatsoi .
