Thank you for the great info!
Wow it would be awesome to be able to grow all those different peppers. I grew some crazy ones in Costa Rica and I lived in a couple houses that had big pepper bushes that were years old, one habanero was literally taller than the house it was next to.
They have huge but very tasty bell peppers there too, but usually they're long and pointy instead of the shape we're used to. I miss all those different tropical veggies and fruits.
Edit, just to help, J always sounds like the way we say H in Spanish.
What's the red stuff on your arm @ 1:10?
That farm volunteers to do fumigating. How can it be organic if they fumigate?
hyd john, i like the taste and eating papaya seeds with the fruit, does anyone else feels the same?
Great video John😊🇦🇺
I am purchasing a big huge farm property in central northern Florida. So I will definitely be purchasing some seeds. I just watched the video about your new farm property. When you were going through the trees, you said they sell tree seeds as well? I would definitely love to get some ice cream bean and all three passion fruit for my central Florida southern property.
Hydro warehouses also sells down to earth but in San Juan. I prefer dr earth but good to know they sell that there!
Thank you for another great video, John. And saving my life with micro greens 🙂 still trying to grow in the chemical wasteland Kansas. The sheriff escorted the sprayer this last year to destroy 800 feet of vegetables. It’s truly sad we cannot grow on our own land in America. So excited for your new farm.
Is there a brand somebody suggests for the Microrhyasae?
ALL seed you buy from stores are already NON GMO, the labeling is a scam. It is ILLEGAL to sell geneticaly modified seed.
John, thank you for bringing light to this venture. My little island has been so battered in recent years (decades) so it's comforting to see the ways Puerto Ricans are persevering forward despite obstacles with the power of gardening!! We must support the rebrowning of growing food and allow Black, brown and indigenous people to reclaim their farming traditions. I will definitely be ordering! Paz.
Just ordered some new shirts and a tea mug. Keep up the good work John.
They should grow chayote, never been able to find same kind from PR in the US. In Florida they only sell a smaller green kind. Puerto Rican chayote is large and off-white flesh
👍 nice share 😎🐢 I always enjoy your videos 💚💚💚 56:50
WOW!! The ignorance of people ASTOUNDS me!! Listen folks… It is, ILLEGAL, for seed stores/suppliers to knowingly and/or willingly sell you, the home gardener, GMO seeds. The only people who are allowed to buy GMO seeds are large farms and large corporations! If you don't believe me just look it up for yourself! Google: Can GMO seeds be sold to the public. The answer is NO! So stop with the B.S. scare tactics telling people these places will sell them Non-GMO seeds… They're NOT ALLOWED TO! And to all of you out there who are afraid of buying GMO seeds from a store… YOU CAN'T! They won't sell them to you unless they're breaking the law. It takes a 5 second google search to tell you that. Please do your research before losing your minds… F.F.S.
Always top notch information thank you as always
Thank you John!
Pooh air toe not poor toe if you’re going to live there might as well start pronouncing it correctly 😅
You will be a great asset to our community welcome
Someone forgot to add the link.
Right On, John! I'm ordering seeds from 'Desde mi Muerto'. I'm in a 9b zone up in Shasta County, Ca. It gets pretty hot up here in the summer. (my winter garden is doing great right now). I'm a gardner 101 but really enjoying your tips and guidance. Stumbled upon you researching other kombucha videos and now I'm a loyal daily …and very interested listener. I love your enthusiasm and sense of humor too. Live to Thrive- TracyAnn
John, I just received my order today. It is beautifulperiod I am going to do a little bit of testing period it's funny that they are growing the Danvers carrots that's what you grow in the south. So I just have some seed fsomewhat regional place. now I have my seeds from your neighborhood company in puerto rico. So I'm gonna try to grow them. Both side by side in South Carolina zone 8B/9 A. Then I'm gonna grow them in Florida side by side in zone 9A/9B.
This will not be until next year but I will let you know the results.
Also I purchased pigeon peas boy am I excited. Amongst other things like passion fruit guava the cherry's leeche. They are such a great value and the seed packs just looks so professional❤️
im just a white guy, but i cringe every time he says PORTER rico and AGEE peppers!
We buy seed and plants from them all the time l, they grow very well in zone 10 Florida. It makes me happy to have the seeds from my hometown here in Florida.
