I just adore Mr. Charles! Its hard to find someone who is both a well of wisdom AND kind enough to share it. Great video! I hope you had the pleasure of getting a big cup of boiled peanuts while you were visiting Tennessee and Alabama!

Thank you, Charles, for talking about pesticides and its effect on pollinators.

I’m with Charles on the sunscreen, living in the desert I’ve never used the stuff. I usually get a pretty good tan and my hair turns really blonde. Fast food is a matter of convenience, when my kids were growing up and I worked full time along with the husband I always cooked our meals. Thanks for talking with Charles, it’s nice to get to know him a little more💕

This video shows my FAVORITE plant! The Butterfly Bush, BB which is DEER FREE!!! The butterflies are ALL OVER my butterfly bush. I enrich the soil around my BB. I plant cover crops around it, oats and radish. I have the classic Black Midnight, Royal Red, and Pink Delight BBs. I saw FAR fewer Swallowtail butterflies, only too pupa than previous years. The Monarch, as you know was plentiful. The 1st time I saw a Hummingbird Moth I was afraid of it bc I did not know what it was:-) A lot of them visit my BBs. I am assembling my white Poppin file cabinet. Check them out. You'll LOVE them!. Oh you visited our fav NY borough, Brooklyn where you can eat great! I LOVE Rama's Roti! It is a plate full of heaven! The mixture of Trinidadian flavors are divine! This is so cozy sitting in his garden. I love the Asian art behind you and the bridge. I wonder how OAG's rabbits are doing? The SE is way too hot and humid. It is such a treat to see other gardens in America. Thank you!

You and Charles are spot on. I just finished Gabe Brown's book, Dirt to Soil, and the statistics are mind boggling. Our food is lacking in so many nutrients. The protein, magnesium, copper, iron, etc... levels are way down from 50 years ago. Keep telling the world. The dollar is the only voice corporate America will hear. I do sympathize with today's farmer. Most are not making much of a profit and are scared to try something radical.

Wonderful discussion... 😊 waiting for more from OAG

[Lightdancer]

I love this series of interviews with Charles! He has the same hairline as my daddy, who was also a gardener! ❤

[silvertonguedaywalker]

Hi Love Nana from England. Wonderful Chap you were chatting with x

[jenw]

This is a great interview. I agree with his opinion about chemicals. Everyone should be putting pressure on companies and food manufacturer to change commercial farming.

[ChingMo]

Love the Show Kaye!! I just purchased my first African Basil plant My bees love it Thanks Again

[jamestalkington]

Hello smart and beautiful, good morning, and have a blessed day, and above all keep smiling that beautiful smile, 😇☕✝️

[ladyb]

New sub sent me. Loved the interview. You hit on a lot of important information. Thanks for sharing. Take care.

[shawnsimonds]

Hi Kaye! Charles just posted your info to his fb page - I just truly appreciate all the effort you both put into your vids!

[angelaburnett]

I just LOVE this, two faves in one video!!! OAG and Late Bloomer.
Love the interesting discussion. I think there were great points made on both sides, but food is medicine. And most of us are built to be in the sun, to absorb vitamin D. My body doesn't absorb supplements effectively, but I am much healthier in the spring, summer, and fall when I'm outside for 5 to 10 hours a day. I use a light sunscreen in late spring and summer that is safe. Ozone depletion, chemical bombardment from everywhere, and tainted food are the some of the leading hazards our country and the world, faces. Thank you for thoughtful discussion.
I just adore Charles, he has more knowledge in his little pinky than I will ever hope to know. Love you both! ❤

[meehan]

He is a real nice gentleman. I subscribed to his channel. Did you get an ant on your leg? Great to see a couple of butterflies. Lovely chat Kaye. Patrick xx
