The internet has brought many benefits. One being a platform for information. It’s also brought many negatives. One being a platform for cowards to spew their ignorance.
HAHA….if anyone is playing at gardening – it's me!!! First year gardener – but the success I have is because of listening to you and a few others on YouTube – and if ya'll are fake you're PRO's at it! LOL Thank you for all your knowledge – AND for this perspective….LOVE IT!
I get the same thing because I am black and transgender. By default, the majority of farmers and gardeners here just assume that I am entirely unqualified based on one or both of those things. These people just love to gatekeep their profession, and they can't stand seeing demographics of people they hate working in their "traditional" field.
You are a successful teacher, entrepreneur, and a person that has been helping thousands gardeners with great information and motivation. You are one of a kind and I am glad you do not fit someone’s perceived stereotype of what a “real” farmer should be.
Sorry about the derogatory comments. Living in the middle corn sweat belt of Illinois and I am not a farmer, I have learned so much about gardening from you! I would not keep ordering supplies from you if I thought otherwise. Grow big! 🙂
Gatekeeping is a tricky thing. In an attempt to honor and respect, maybe is on the positive side. To restrict, dictate and shun, not so much. Your open heart shows in all you do.
You are the person I turn to whenever I need a question answered. Everything I've done has worked out. Just keep up with what you're doing! Ignore people trying to talk down to you.
Luke, Always been my favorite gardening teacher. Best part is your positive method. And that you are growing in a cold area. Muchas gracias amigo. I am big on the respect too. Also a farmer, avocados. Good cheers.
I make sure to stop by MIdardener every time I’m in St Clair for work. About half of the times I’ve been there I’ve seen Luke making videos or working/talking to people in the store. He is legit. I didn’t want to bother him while he is working but these claims of being a fraud are crazy.
There is a lot of weird AI stuff out there that looks really real! But for a channel like yours where you’ve been around for so long, they must have just been trolling you.
OK, so maybe you're not a "farmer. I am in Central Kansas, the heartland of farming.the farmers I know don't have large orchards, bees, starting seeds indoors, and the many other things you do and share. It's a title. You may just be a large-scale grower /gardener. Whatever the "title" I have learned so much from your channel, and at 67 years young, I thought I knew about growing plants, I was so wrong. Maybe if you wear overalls, stick a wheat stalk in your mouth and spit a little tobacco, 😅
Haters gonna hate. You do you, buddy. I’m following you because I find your content interesting and relevant. You’ve been on social media long enough to have grown a thicker skin against these comments.
I have watched you for several years and bought many seeds from you and grew beautiful vegetables and enjoyed eating. You have helped and taught many of us. Keep doing what you do! Maybe you can help them grow a heart 🙂
This is truly sad I’m a new subscriber and very happy that first I purchased over 20/25 packs of seeds . Then I came across your page again and loved it .
Just recently started following you, so I’m not sure just exactly what was said about you. What I do know is I like the way you stand up and tell it like it is. Kudos to you!
You are the most transparent, honest, and kind-hearted person . I've learned a lot from your videos. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. Keep up the great work. You and your wife are great people. Thank you
Good grief! People need to get a life and quit being so critical of everyone else. I have learned a lot about high density raised bed gardening from you. Thanks for all of the info and keep up the good work.
Lol on a family having 9 kids (let the hate comments commence). Oh, and my husband says farmers wear straw hats and not baseball caps, and they certainly don't golf 🙄 😅

So many horrible things are happening right now and this is the bone they want to pick. 🙄
I do get you on my MSN main feed menu but other wise…….
Those who have half a brain can tell you are authentic. Probably a Troll
Love your content and Seeds. The Seed performance is never disappointing. I have also learned so much from you about gardening.
I’ve been watching you for years Luke, you’re the real deal !!

Farmer Luke!!
We will pray for that person because he is struggling in life.

It's not that youre a fraud farmer, but your farm is all AI generated.

@MIGARDENER THICK SKIN….YOU’RE LEATHERED….KEEP ON KEEPING ON.
Maybe the person who made the comment about being a fake farmer is in with the Monsanto…. Maybe your video rubbed them the wrong way lol
Why even bother giving these idiotic and stupid comments many attention?

Love you even more than before if that’s possible. Brilliantly well said, and so important in these times. Thank you ❤❤❤

Thanks for what you do Luke! Your tips and recommendations have been very useful and valuable to me.

And how the heck do you have apples already? Are those tied to the tree? 😊 Really tho, are those from the trees you guys grafted?
