  1. I would like to start my veggie garden but have no idea where and how to start, I would like someone to help me.

  2. Such a neat variety of plants, I could definitely do something like that if I had more resources. Some day!

  3. Really enjoy your video's. Could you please do a video that's helpful to the UK climate ? I grow tomatoes, peppers and lettuce bit would appreciate more information. Many thanks. Amanda 🙂

  4. If you're single, isn't that just way too much food for one person? I can't imagine being able to eat that much food… 100 pepper plants? Do you give it away? Preserve it? I think such a garden would be a full-time job just harvesting and figuring out what to do with it all.

  5. Re-think Jerusalem Cherry:

    The Jerusalem cherry's poison is primarily solanocapsine, which is similar to other alkaloids found in their genus, such as solanine and atropine. Although the toxin is poisonous, it is generally not life-threatening to humans. It may cause gastric problems, including vomiting and gastroenteritis as referenced in the obsolete scientific name S. ipecacuanha (roughly "ipecac nightshade").

    Jerusalem cherries are possibly poisonous to cats and some birds.Though Jerusalem cherry is distributed by certain birds in the wild – both where native and where introduced, e.g. in Australia by the pied currawong (Strepera graculina) – most popular pet birds, namely parrots and relatives, are not immune to its poison.

  7. Love your garden. My Aunt Molly ground cherries are tasting like cream soda to me. Love it.

  8. Thank you John for all of your great videos and I love that I can access the old ones because they're always great to watch Andre watch not sure how many times I watched but some of them I've watched three and four times as I live in Phoenix area and your Las Vegas gardening is a breath of fresh air to me thank you thank you thank you

  9. John, I have over 2 acres in SW FL that I could plant. I could use some help getting started. I am on the gulf side of FL near Ft Myers. Will you be in the area for an evaluation?

  10. Amazing garden so much food there.  You garden is best kitchen for food in the world for excellent taste and rare delicacies

  11. Fantástico….estou encantada com a quantidade de variedades que vc tem!!! Parabéns tudo bem cultivado e produzindo!

  12. Those tomatillo things look like weeds that grow in my garden. Ive also found shiso growing as a weed out there so it makes me wonder if the people that owned the land before grew them

  13. John,

    Thank you for your honest opinion about that ornamental pepper- looking plant. 3434. I bought a huge pickle jar

    of a similar species that looked like "organic green peppers", from a farmer's market in a university town of Arcata , Calif.

    It is a beautiful perennial ornamental plant to have in front or around the house, but people should not confuse it for

    an edible plant. And most importantly, dishonest people should not be marketing it out as a food source to rip off, or

    harm innocent and vulnerable people. Sultan.
