I'm a vegetarian and that shot of you biting into the pea plant is how my family thinks I eat

Good presentation--no editorial, straight to the point, no repetition, well-spoken. A breath of fresh air in this overcrowded subject.

I started gardening this year. I bought a mint plant and catnip, along with two little blueberry bushes. Seeing the plants blow up has really relaxed me. I thought 100% they would all die. I know all of these are really easy, but it is still a huge confidence booster

Dude, you're like a cool older bro who teaches me about houseplants and gardening 🌱💚

[DavidWong]

I liked that you showed how you prepared the greens into a meal. Most gardening videos don’t do this and I actually really enjoyed seeing what you did with your clippings. Cheers!

It has been ~10 years since I last tried growing something in our medium size flower pots at home. I was a teen and I loved it. I remember growing Mango, Green Chillies, Tomatoes, Sunflowers, Holy Basil. They are easy to grow in pots.

I’ve gotten addicted to your channel in the last few days. Started my backyard veggie bed already! Love how you are so into these veggies.

This is real post-covid content. I hope we are done with everyone trying to be a millionaire and be more human instead.

[lucian_m.r.m]

Just came across this channel a few days a go and now addicted. I love how he shows you what you can make with your crops. The food ideas get me so hyped! Thank you so much.

My wife and I bought a very small sunflower plant last week from Lowe's, it wasn't even bloomed or anything, and it's growing amazingly fast. It's practically doubled in size and 4 flowers bloomed on it and are about the size of softballs.

Just a side note.... you can eat kale stems : ) I like to put them in a frying pan, add water to coat the bottom of pan, and cook/steam them until tender (a few minutes)... you can also add kale leaves once the stems are cooked (they only take a minute). Really good mixed in with scrambles eggs and other veggites... or just as a side topped with a little butter, salt, & pepper!

I like you dude. You dont talk too much, you are not boring in the way you present ur content and you keep ur content very informative with out making a newbie to gardening feel uber ignorant. 😂

[redstarling]

Im glad you brought up the fact that for leafy greens and root plants you dont need to harvest the entire plant you can just pick a couple leaves off multiple plants and allow the roots to grow bigger or get them to seeding stage so you can collect for next season. I dont think many people know this and its a great way to save time and effort instead of constantly replanting. I also feed my chickens alot of the older leaves and bug eaten ones so nothing goes to waste and for them its a tasty treat.

Great video! A quick correction for the novice gardener: the video says all root crops have edible greens. There are a few exceptions to this rule, such as parsnip and potato. Check before you munch!

[griddamus]

Had my first harvest of Perpetual Spinach recently, you’re right it’s a landmark! Thank you your videos really helped.
