John from http://www.growingyourgreens.com/ takes you on a tour of his front yard permaculture style urban raised bed vegetable garden. In this episode you will learn what John grew in the Winter in his frontyard organic garden in Zone 9b.
You will discover how he is growing different fruits, berries and vegetables, as well as learn many of the varieties of vegetables he grows in the fall and winter season.
Along the way you will learn a few things about growing food in the frontyard of a standard American tract home in the suburbs and how much food you can truly grow in the frontyard that can help to feed a family of 4 easily.

Love THESE videos john. I'm trellising my peas on bamboo and when i get wilting like yours, I just find a taller piece of bamboo!!! Grow bamboo john. do it.
you're eating like a rabbit, john! it's always so good to virtually visit your garden. i'm always inspired to try something new in my garden after watching an episode like this. incredible gardening.
Love the tour videos!!
Nice tour – looks like you'll never have to go to the supermarket for greens ever again 🙂
The canna lilies make beautiful foliage and some of the most gorgeous flowers. Not sure I'd ever try eating it but it's a valuable plant for beauty.
My right ear feels lonley 🙁
I tell everyone about your channel…and that I am a Grow Your Own Greens Groupie! You motivated me to grow my own greens and I have documented the adventure…. Thank you! I will be sending you a contribution. If you want to peak at my greens…check this out…https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wwLugqDKKDo ….I think I watched everyone of your vides during our 2015 ice age!
April is not winter anymore John. It's spring
Really nice John.We can not do this in Brooklyn,NY.It will get robbed.
I would love a front yard garden but my HOA would never allow it.

please respond to this in next video, what should we do?
Dude what is your water bill like??
Hello John ,are you still in Nevada,the reason about my ?? is because is very good job to be living on the desert,and i am one of them …and i have to work very hard in my soil.of course i learning from your videos a lot.thank you for shearing.
Peas are awesome directly from the garden. When I was a kid my mom had a good size garden patch in our yard. I spent some time every day in it eating the peas and the radishes. She had strawberries too that I remember but I didn't eat those much. She would notice when I had been eating things out of the garden but she never seemed to mind it. 🙂 – Heidi
John is so crazy for doing this… I love it!
Is this guy a botanist? What's his background?
I'm really interested in permaculture, about to take my first stab at it. I'm a long time sub, and I'm glad to see you're leaning more towards "sustainible" (should sustain your back a few more years) way of gardening. Are you starting to do any "chop and drop" in the yard?
Sound is bad
We loved the idea of the barrel with the kale at the end!
nice dildo
John are you going to write down your recipes for juicing? You really need to do this.
i love you dude, great videos as always
In France it's mâche (pronounced 'mash'), elsewhere in Europe I think they sometimes refer to it as lamb's lettuce. It's definitely popular in France, and delicious!
John love you garden, thank you for the tour. Regina from VIRGINIA
New Zealand!!!
I gotta stop watching these videos when I'm hungry =/
Xeroscapers hate u, cops raid u… lol
Fabulous garden! One of the best I've seen
I want to purchase Moshe lettuce seeds and the miners lettuce seeds, do you have them for sale?
if your garden is in vegas then how do u get rid of the summer huge roaches or water bugs?
i want to use something not so dangerous for my plants or my kids:)
Wow, John, it seems like just yesterday you were putting in your new tall front raised beds and now they're all grey and aged looking! It's been 5 years!
Hi John, whats the latin name for the plant called "Mosh" & "Yacone"
?? – btw with chickweed, i keep to a single styrofoam container, just a thought
My garden is like the size of three of your beds haha and only one of the 'beds' gets light and thats courtyard. my actual raised bed is in permanent shade. i am just trying to grow leafy stuff. So looking at your garden is like where I want to be! By the way, any tips for growing food in shade?
I'm growing all my vegetables in containers at the moment. and putting my seedlings in any windowsill space i can find.
Why don't you grow stuff where the bricks are?
that collapsing trellis on the side makes the entire property look like an eyesoar
Hi, how many fruits and veggies do you have in total?
The best way to get rid of an edible weed, is to eat it.
where is this house?
Thanks John, we appreciate you and what you are doing.
my 3 hens can't even keep up with a yard full of chickweed. one way I encourage them to eat it is, I've found that they like it wet! so when I let them out, I spray down a patch & let them go crazy.
Hey John is your fuyu self pollinating? I purchased 2 of the same …. will they fruit or do I need a pollinator? If I need to get a pollinator what kind should I get? I owned my home for 2 years and I have over 26 fruit trees on half an acre and a hudge gargen! You and Jake Mace are my inspiration. Big thanks and keep on growing 😁
The GOAT. John started this whole thing. Beautiful garden!
Hi John, thank you. I want to learn gardening from the beginning. I will be using raised beds and some grow pouches as well. Do you have printed material or a book of some type? Love your videos and training.
