    I live in LV and have been doing well this year unlike last year which was very odd weather in my garden. Good to know the herbs help prevent bad bugs. I do see white bugs often and hope by growing more herbs I'll prevent bad bug. Keep up the good work. All the best.

    As long as you keep inspiring people with your message John, the format short or long is all the same. Humanity may need enlightened people one day again. He who grows his own food and is willing to share will not wage war or steal food from his neighbours. Your first motivator was health, but it has gotten a lot larger, I can tell you.. Thank you for what you do. Now all we need is to give all people the means to be self-sustaining and be peaceful in times of hardship at the same time. Could be a tough job 🙂

    Some folks say that new gardeners should focus on growing what they like to eat, but I say a new gardener is more assured of success by learning to like what is easy to grow in their area. That's a nice selection you pointed out.

    i love your videos. we have begun our garden in our new home – we are in Canada so a much shorter growing season. i shared a video today of our garden, please check it out! we will be expanding it little by little over the coming years.

    What's your advice for small rodents? More specifically rats and mice? I already have my garden enclosed with chicken wire but still sonata try get squashes eaten the moment the come out. It's very frustrating. Is there a way to prevent it?

    Thanks for the video. Please, would you let us know what you do with your sugar beets? I am interested in growing alternative sweeteners for baking etc. You know, I've been gardening for over 30 years. I came to the conclusion years ago I would rather eat a stray bug, or worse, lose the whole crop, than use pesticides. I quit using any chemicals in my garden about 25 years ago. Good soil, companion planting and hand picking works for me. Oh! And my chickens! Best little gardening buddies ever. Eat every bug they can get their little beaks on lol.

    God Bless you John, hope all your dreams come true (owning your own farm). You have inspired me to grow an organic backyard garden. Your looking younger and younger each time I see your latest video . Take care always, Kathleen

    We get stink bugs that decimate tomatoes. They bite the fruit while green then they get black mushy spots and rots before it ripens. What companion plant can I plant with them to discourage them from my tomatoes

    Marigolds are also excellent for deterring pests. So are a lot of other flowers and they give color to the garden. Plus, bees love them.
