"I'm almost 6 ft ladies" LOL, oh John, I thought that you had a girlfriend?
In Las Vegas the water company gives you money to convert to dessert landscape but I don't think the city does.
Hey John. I bought some of those Ashitaba seeds from you a little white back. I got 4 plants growing, but man they sure are slow growing. Is that normal? They germinated about early February and now that we are in late April, they only have two leaves on them. Should they be further along or is that normal?
Fix your audio sync. 😉
You look like your high.
Although I don't watch John on a regular basis, I do think he has a lot of knowledge about plants. He mentioned having powdery mildew, but didn't say what he was doing about it. What's John's take on overcoming powdery mildew?
John's turned into a pot head lol!!!!
John i have a 4' x 120' bed of kale, something i noticed about the kale a few days before it flowers are the tips that look like tight broccoli are very high in sugar and have a great taste(like mustard with sugar) im going to take some to the farmers market and see how ppl like them. It may start a new trend.
Think asparagus size kale tips.
You are so stoned right now
You def look high as hell.
John,you look a little high
wow veggies everywhere! looking pretty good, saludos
Holy Schmolly John. I'm gonna have to find a new place to plant the ashitaba seedling that I started from your seeds. I didn't realize how big they get. But that's a nice problem to have. Anybody know how shade tolerant they are?
Holy Crap John Your SOOO STONED!!!! haha jk. I do think its ridiculous how bad people are flaming you for your last vid especially when its just another herb. Keep it up!
Great videos bro. I've picked up so much info from your work. Cheers 🙂
I saw this last year
Hey John… from THIS side of the camera, those yellow flowered stalks with your tall kale look like broccolini that's gone to seed. I had forgotten what I planted when mine did that and a taste test told me it wasn't kale. Just what it looks like, that's all. That berry plant that you said wasn't really tasty is gorgeous! Hopefully the berries are better than the beauty berry you tasted in Texas. LOL Enjoy your updates and always striving for more success, as your garden shows IS possible!
John, you give new meaning to the term "grazing" as you garden! Love it!
Perennials are where it's at.
Everything looks great. Keep up the good work, John. Thanks for sharing.
I planted lettuce and curly spinach in my hoop house raised bed and only the spinach survived the cold harsh winter. But I'm okay with that as I live in New England.
Thanks for sharing tips with us and your gardens are such an inspiration! 🙂
John,
Do you think this killer bug will eat our crops? I am from the UK. Just wondered if you have this bug in the USA?

Ok so everyone who gets it can see you've indulged in some of your herbs. Nothing wrong with a slow video with lots of smiles. If I'm in my yard or green house I'm baked 🙂 Peace and love.
Hey John, I love your front garden. Your Cana edulis has really red leaves, I wonder if it's your winter that does that. I grow mine for the leaves because I'm not super impressed with the taste of the tubers. The chickens love them and they are a great compost activator. Not related to arrowroot although it's commonly called that here in Queensland. Thanks for the walk through.
Happy 420!
Has your garden ever been attacked by rodents or deer?
I'm getting ready to grow water melons, Bell & chili peppers, cherry & romane tomatoes, squash, peas, carrots, spinach, onions, garlic, basils, strawberries, and corn
Yo you got some gardening skills and thank you for all the youtube videos dude youve helped me tremendously in the few weeks ive gottan into indoor gardening
Any suggestion for a food plant that can grow well indoors without direct sunlight?
Great tour, really nice garden. i love lawns, but I love growing my own food too!
nice
Thx for a great video john. Can you please post a url of any great plans for some of the raised gardens you have? Its so awesome how you can sit and work on each garden. Id like to build them myself to save money. Just some nice plans. Thanks for helping me get off my ass and garden High or not. Who cares. The plants dig it even more when you garden high
Man I wanna just thank you for all the videos you have made I haven't seen them all however all the ones I have seen are great and I would like to purchase a slow star juicer I live in Philadelphia and don't like buying anything on the internet you have any suggestions , can i buy one from your website with a prepaid credit card
If pot does that to you, no thanks
Very impressive garden. Love your videos.
Love it
So I'm assuming you do this full time now? What's your story?
Doing garden work stoned is the best!
This is awesome! I saw a video of you addressing the MAM crowd in Las Vegas today, which unfortunately I couldn't attend. Loved that you said that it's about more than just this one day though and am subscribed to your channel now. I live in a condo and will my own research on what I can possibly grow indoors, but your videos are motivating me to move into a house after all! Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
any advice on how to grow your beds?? like which greens / herbs do you place in a raised bed? do you dedicate certain beds for certain greens?
Where do you live and would be open to mentoring somebody? I'm new to gardening but I am very determined. I am hoping to own my own business one day and I'm looking for a mentor and you seem to know your stuff. I would love to talk more, hope to hear from you soon!
John, what's your top list of edible ornamentals that you would suggest planting?
Technically there is no such thing as a desirable weed. A weed by definition is an unwanted plant. For example, Bermuda grass in a turfgrass setting is not a weed. However, Bermuda grass in a crop field is a weed. Great video though. Your garden is amazing.
Yo, John. Who is your gardener? I know you don’t have time to keep all those beds that clean! Fantastic job, man.
Maybe its a cold coming on.lol garden looks great.take care.
