Why are you dressed like a skater…weird.
I've grown perennial vegetables in south Florida thanks to you and Pete Kanaris. I have a bunch of stuff from Connors nursery.
John, I can’t tell you how much I have learned from your videos over the past several years. I think I started watching in 2014. We are growing tons of food mostly because of what we learned from you. Improved our diet. Have a Joraform because you recommended it, etc. Worm farm, etc. Biochar. Even the hose and sprayer you recommended one time. You’re changing the world, buddy. You’re making it happen. Hoping to catch you again here in Santa Rosa at the Heirloom show if they ever have it again. Best wishes.
You have certainly motivated collection of perennial edibles in Fort Myers FL. Planting something everyday is a goal I pursue.
I want to like this guy, there is just something about him…
Great video like always!
Small organic farm in Eugene, Oregon here. Fern Ridge Farms- check us out! Greens and eggs.
Gardens will be illegal
Is it that cold in Florida this time of year, or is it a hipster hat?
I had that shirt when I was a kid. I got it from a garage sale baby. Loved that shirt
Great video bro, thanks. I have seen your pendant for a long time. What is it? Thanks
U my sir are responsible for my raised beds all 12 of them from nothing to mega juicing . Micro herbs ty I hook the phone up to my TG to watch. All your shows. I’m trying to grow to sell or start to sell mid west FLORIDA
Cool man my dad lives right there on B street right in West Palm Beach
I want to move to puerto rico and grow food. Have a giant beautiful garden
Hey John I'm in South Miami-Dade County and have planted moringa, chaya, katuk, and longevity spinach after first hearing about them from you. Thanks, and keep on keeping on!
As soon as zi move to new house spon here in malaga Spain I WILL BE DOING PERENIAL planting. X
Imagine if every single house yard looked like that! Driving down the street you’d think you were in a jungle. And that’s a good thing.
Yes. I started growing Malabar spinach because of you.
Brother I love these type vids that you do. I sit with a pen and paper writing down particular plants I want to get to know. It's a big help for me. I'm always learning something new from your channel. Not only that though but I get to see what others are doing within this life style. What their set up looks like and how they go about producing and maintaining it. I live in Ga. by the way within an HOA neighborhood so the stealthy plants are what I'm looking for 😉 Thank you and the people who allow you to do this. It does help others to learn and be more creative IMO. I just wish that there was an online network of people who sold their plants and seeds, such as Connor, for those of us looking to buy them other than having to buy from big box stores or more well known online nurseries or ebay. That would be kool.
Thanks for another great video John. I will definitely check out Conner's website. I love the compost your enemies shirt, shout out to David the Good. Keep up the good work guys.
i have planted a lot of plants because of you thank you so very much john more power to you man keep on growing
