Sweet potatoes also can be trained pretty easily to grow vertically, you will just get less tubers that way. But their greens are very tasty! I agree with the banana peppers. I have one plant that looks sickly and it still spits out peppers. I have grown 4 peppers on one plant in the last 2 months and another one if fruiting. I can only imagine if the plant was healthier, how many it would produce! I agree about the bell peppers, they never really seem to produce well for me, maybe one sickly looking one now and then. I live in zone 9b.
I've watched a lot of your videos, and they are great. You are inspiring, keep them coming.

Hi John, In my backyard, I have a wrap around above ground garden area (about 70 X 3 foot) – but have found that due to its position it gets sun from sunrise to sundown – which equals sun fried plants. What would you recommend as a setup to add some shade to the area? Thanks
Awesome video:") Got some onions and some other stuff….
Wow! That's amazing! How much water do you use?
i love you john , i think you have food on your face 😁
Love it! Thanks for sharing. Can't wait to be able to grow more once I have the space.
lemon Verbena has replaced mint in my smoothies. try it! my favorite new herb!
tours are the best!!! nice work john
love everything you have growing. kee up the good work john.
how did you set up your flood table drainage wise? did you use a bell siphon?
How big is your yard to hold that many plants? I have one thousand feet but I don't have that many plants because they take up a lot of room. What is a decent size property to grow the plants that you have? Also how do you protect an apple tree from disease from bugs without using pesticides? My tree looks diseased!
lol I love the contrast, lush green space and then dead!
Yes, the sweet potato leaves are pretty good. I steam them and dip in soy sauce. 🙂
learn where u live at in usa
John, if you provide a water source for the birds, they will leave your tomatoes alone. I grow tomato plants uncovered on my wooded lot with a large bird bath next to them. Lots of birds and they never touch them.
One thing I really love about your videos is that you allow for varied approaches in producing food. I am interested in Permaculture but I don't adhere to every single method as I live in a historic area and there are rules about how one's property can look. Thanks for encouraging so many of us to do what we can, in our own way. I am totally organic in my growing methods and I recycle and conserve water.
Que my dog barking at your neighbors dog hahaha
Awesome garden! Where can you get moringa around Las Vegas?
I'm a new gardener here just trying to soak as much knowledge as I can! 🙂
If you haven't made these videos already, could you make videos about:
-The health benefits of each plant and where you got them from? There's some plants that you have I've never heard of
-What plants grow best in the winter and how best to care for them when it gets below freezing
-Plant combining. What plants grow best next to one another
-All the different plant diseases and how best to get rid of it
-A day where you harvest everything from your garden and how you store it all/use it all
OMG … OMG!!!!! Did I just see an ad for ROUNDUP products before your video?! You so need to do away with that! Nobody should EVER EVER EVER buy any Monsanto product!!! >:(
Here's my question. I have very limited garden space. I want to plant veggies that produce all season long rather than those that take all season to mature and only produce at the end of the season. I live in southeastern PA, so zone 6 A or B (can't remember which). Any suggestions? Thanks!
That neighbor's "backyard" is quite depressing. Why are there random boulders strewn about? Is that their idea of rockscaping? Geez.
Aren't your peppers cross-pollinating each other? They are so close! And the other veggies too.
