you heat loving vegetables you can grow in containers or in your garden during the hot summer months.
In this episode, you will learn about many of the unique and exotic vegetables and fruit trees they have available at
this amazing nursery in the DFW area in Texas.
First, John will take you on a tour around the nursery to show you all the vegetables they are growing in large 25-95
gallon containers during the hot and humid summer in Irving, Texas.
Next, you will discover some of John’s favorite fruit trees to grow in the Dallas, Texas climate.

"We need to get rid of green plants, they keep us dependent on C02 , without green plants we wouldn't need C02 in the first place . And those nurseries pump in C02 for fertilizer. Someday we will bring C02 levels down to zero and finally clean this earth of all this messy disgusting carbon based life forms and the earth will finally be clean..and barren" ~ Weird AL Gorebalist
