So great to see you again John, I really enjoyed the visit and making some videos with you!
Can anyone suggest the best free plant identification app for Android. Thanks! I had "picture this" but my 7 free days Ran out. That app is worth the money- but I'm tapped out from all the dirt I've been buying:/
How do you clone the Asian greens? A machine? I just bought Tong Ho (chrysanthemum leaf) and yam leaf, and would like to grow more from the cuttings. I really appreciate your videos. Keep up the good work.
Love the camera quality. You need a new camera John!
Another great video John! I wonder what or how do you eat Santa Rosa and foti? I have both of them but don’t know how to prepare to eat and how much can you consume? Thank you in advance!
You are one of very few people who talk about Egyptian spinach. I really want to grow some but couldn't find the information I want, last summer I tried and they didn't do well. I grow in containers on a deck so I don't have a diverse ecosystem, this year I am focusing on attracting beneficial insects. The Egyptian spinach had black aphids and black spots on the leaves that might be viral/bacterial/fungal, I got a handful of healthy leaves to add to a salad but not enough to cook in the traditional Egyptian way.
You and josh would be proud of me
John Cohler what makes the flavor profile change in plants that you get from the nursery or supermarket once repotted? I have flavor in PARSLEY. I have never had herbs that don’t need salt. The first time I learned veggies have natural salt was regrowing CELERY after watching you and Praxxus in 2011/12. And how do I increase the bulb size of garlic that grows from one clove and once it grows a head if it finishes in late May early June can cloves from it be made to be a bumper crop for October/November of the same year?????
Night and day difference with video quality. Awesome!
Way too long, sorry, I'm still a fan.
land of the free, cant even grow spinach. fuck me.
Great video !
You’re so lucky it’s summer where you are…. it’s still spring where I am.
