  2. I love the variety of Baker’s Creek. I do container gardening but so fun to see behind the scene footage of their greenhouses.

  3. John, I just love your knowledge and enthusiasm! Trying hard to follow what you do in your own garden. 🪴
    Well, I meant this season…back problems. Ouch.

  4. You just ate the pea seeds 😅. My grandfather had a nursery I basically grew up on and worked most of my life. I can relate to eating from nursery stock lol.

  5. Do you use sunscreen or no? I figure since the sun apparently causes 90 percent of skin aging you would be all over it.. but then again maybe you try get vitamin d from the sun and your aware of homosolate etc in sunscreen being endocrine disruptors and it doesnt really look like you wear mineral sunscreen, according to science the whole worlds deficient in vitamin d.. seems like a proposterous claim to me im kind of over science lol

  6. You do such a great job! I am growing nettle and mullein and use it for medicinal properties. It would be a great video on how to grow them.
    Keep up the great work!

  7. I absolutely love your enthusiasm!!!!
    I know to juice my greens.. I just haven't been doing it…thank you for encouraging me to grow my garden beds again. I spent thousands of dollars preparing an organic garden & grew it 2 summers… when I was growing the Clover cover crop in fall & winter which had some weeds in it… my landlord sprayed my organic-garden with "weed killer"!…oh my God, I got so discouraged= I won't grow an organic garden again until I have my own property! I have 5 Acres of my parents property now= it's overgrown in blackberry brairs & tree saplings & honeysuckle vines & weeds… I need help! Thank you for the encouragement= you're so excited about all these vegetables!!!.. it makes me want to start again! Thank you so much!!! From Shar

  8. Got a nice gang of seedlings growing strong from BC
    Most excited about brads atomic grape tomato , looks like some artwork any color you like.
