You mentioned Ugney (sp?) plant that you say tastes like starburst. I can't find any info with all the diff spellings I've tried.?
Thank you for sharing this, John! I've been enjoying your videos for YEARS now, but having lived in a small condo in Honolulu, never had an opportunity to really get growing. Now that we finally live on the mainland and have a backyard and can start growing, I was so happy to recently find some VERY reasonably-priced 4" purple tree collard starts online at Annie's! Since I'm a newbie, I bought 6–the max that would fit in their standard shipping box–with the hopes that I'll be able to keep at least one of them alive. They arrived today and are already so big and healthy-looking! I'm very hopeful that I'll be able to successfully get them growing and propagate out to family and friends! Much mahalos!
john check out rareseeds.com if you havent already
You’re all over the place. Where do you ACTUALLY live? I’m in so cal and I know ur nearby but 🧐Vegas, Bay Area, SoCal?
My patio garden is failing but I have some cool things maybe you would save them or adopt them😢
Did the rock lettuce work out/taste good??

I knew of John from where I bought my juicer a few years ago. Then I just got into gardening (not out of interest lol but interest in survival skills) and stumbled on his channel (this one) for the first time ever.
Those sound like some fun plants to grow. I wish I had a nursery like that in my area.
Update your visit to Annie's love this
I am not a guy.
Probably lots of usefuly information but I couldn't handle the background music so didn't watch to the end
I had a little giggle at the kid who snuck into the background. Absolutely adorable
Absolutely More. I will see if You did more of these. This is Wonderful! Your episodes are always wonderful and valuable!
For anyone hearing that music with the accordian when hes at the booth I just want to mention that is Donna The Buffalo, they play at a local festival in NC often called Shakori Hills. They are wonderful and I highly recommend checking them out
how wonderful put a order in just now 4-9-22
$ 5.25 is pretty high.
I want the Egyptian walking Onion.
Gojis are easiest solanum related plant in cold climates and I think it’s berries are healthy to. Also may pop is a passion fruit you can grow in cold climates and will come back.
I have purple collards, is it the same thing as purple tree collards? I'm in zone 8. Currently The plants are tiny little things. Maybe an inch tall or so. But I'm going to hoop them this fall. And there in straw beds. So their warm. Anyway is it the same plants? Purple top collars the same as purple tree collar? I also have purple top turnips.
