Looks GREAT!
WOW. YOUR GARDEN IS BEAUTIFUL!!
Great video, thanks! Minh and I love our garden too.
Jaw dropping….both gardens. Thanks!
It looks really nice!
Did you see Kevin Gianni 's shows on ocean grown fertilizer?
OMG! i'm growing some quinoa now! =D
Great videos, every one of them. Do you cook any of your veggies or do you only eat them raw? If you do cook some of them, like Bok Choy, perhaps tell us some of your recipes. You make me want to move to the west coast.
I must agree, we should eat our WEEDS ;).
Love the walk way. Sage is pretty cool, very handy. Is he a contracter?
no! there is no need to cook any of the tender sweet leafy greens that you grow in a home garden, in fact heat destroys the vital living enzymes in vegetables as well as diminishing the vitamins and nutrients in each leaf! love, nova
I love your videos. What do you do with all those veggies.
Thanks. I eat most of them. Check my other videos for episodes on how I use all my veggies! Also friends get some. I hope to soon start a CSA.
how do you know which flowers, leaves, or stems are edible?
Research, Reading and Google 🙂
I thought you weren't supposed to plant food in the same spot where you have grown sunflowers. Something about the shells having poison in them and the food absorbing it. I heard that when I was a child, is it not true?
Way to goo. .. I grow quinoa in my garden and have been eating the young shoots for over 3 weeks now
Really like your enthusiasm John! I noticed you have a lot of irrigation tubes with little knobs at regular intervals. How is the water delivered? Can you explain your irrigation system? Thanks
I have a drip irrigation system using 5/8 drip pipe with emitters stuck into it as needed. This is controlled by a water timer and I have a ball valve in each bed to adjust the flow of the water. Check my other videos. I have several episodes on irrigation.
always love your videos won seeds in you last contest. sent sasa but got nothing yet ?? would be happy to what ever you have not just the three ideas you asked for . keep up the great show . I tell everyone to watch your show
yaay got my seeds today never tried artichokes before. hope they do ok in AZ. will share some with my momtoo. loved the look at the terraced garden in peru
Hey John, My daughter and grand kids and son-in-law live in Lima. He is Peruvian. She travels to Cuzco quite often. She works for International Students Abroad and takes students all over Peru. The Students live with locals and go to University in Lima and Cuzco.Great to see this video. Thanks.
What kind of Bochoy is that? I bought some baby bochoy seeds, 30 day, and have had no results yet. Will try again when it is warmer. Thanks
Hello John. I know this video is older. But I was hoping you could tell me where I can get those pavers. I could not find them at my local home depot. Were they special order? I believe in a separate video you mentioned that they are not traditional garden pavers but maybe for some other kind of use, bathrooms? not sure. Anyway I wanted to do something similar in between my raised beds and this would really work.
