using a bucket is a good idea. Imagine using a 55 gal drum with the same
drip system?
Rent a tuck or minivan next time so you can get more plants.
OMG how do you know so much about fruits and plants? I love your videos.
you can eat the palmetto plants
Katuk? How do you spell that and where can you find that tree/plant?
wow, all those creative ways of growing in urban environments are amazing.
Isn’t that Budda’s Hand AKA Citron? That’s edible:)
That’s funny, I just saw where there was a 55 gal. drip system. I like the
idea of useing the kiddy pools for a raised bed.
John: What happened to this lovely garden set up when you moved to Vegas??
Eat the rainbow I like that saying :O) Thanks for sharing
Love this video John…I appreciate all the info you share!
Vines & taller plants placed to the north of other planting areas will cast
very little shade on plants to the south of them.
hi John, how do you fertilize and add rock dust to your tree collards? I
planted mine with plenty of compost and rock dust, but what do you
recommend to keep them healthy and nourished as time goes by and they grow?
Also, how big do you think the “trees” should be before I start harvesting
leaves? Do you think you could do a video on how you propagate the tree
collards?
@JuicingMyLifeBack He talked about that a few episodes ago..
Where do you get your seeds from?
Nice cilantro. Here in vegas I direct seeded my cilantro in the garden
around september 15th, and it made a big mass of cilantro which survived
the winter (some nights in the 20s), and it’s still going strong today. I
expect it to last about 2 more months until it hits the 80s in may. I’m
thinking about trying to dig up a clump and bring it in the house to see
how long I can keep it going. Unlimited cilantro 8 months out of the year
isn’t bad!
Oh John I love it when you do long FREE videos!!!!
almost all cabbages, incl broccoli and cauliflower actually need mounding
some time after planting. you almost can’t plant them deep enough at first
and this should be done later. like a potatoes.
John, I’ve noticed before that you have beds in your front yard where you
grow runner beans up woven wire fence panels, set up in so there is a back
“wall” of trellis, with shorter “walls” of trellis coming out at a
perpendicular angle. I was thinking that must create a lot of shade. Do the
vines shade each other out? I’m trying to plan my garden space for this
year, and I’m having trouble finding enough space for vining plants,
without shading out the other crops.
alot of my tomato plants have sprouted
Great tour, thx!
John keeps getting younger!
Awesome episode
where do i get tree collards
John, you can probably do espaliering of your tree collards against your
fence, or just as good, you can do espalier plantings of fruit trees
against your fences. Also, seeing your stuff growing makes me so sad, I had
a frost down to 14F a few weeks ago and down to about 24 last week.
Lookin good Spring has definitely sprung for us down here in Oakland.
Aphids are out having a field day; they died during the cold spell but are
back and I don’t think there are many predators yet. I’m going to try
growing tree tomato this year from seed. Hopefully it will work out!
John, what percent of the food you grow do you juice versus eat as
harvested? Also, what is a good juicer for juicing greens?
John, have you considered growing some more deep root plants to bring up
some of the nutrients from the bottom of your deep raised beds?
Great Stuff… watching from Puerto Rico 🙂
