I have missed your videos. I hope all is well with you and your family.

Hi Patrick, I haven’t seen you for awhile. I hope you and your family are doing well.

Making my way through your backlog and I can’t help but get upset that your videos are ending! Thank you for sharing such informative and entertaining content from a fellow Chicagoan!

[uhadonejob]

Hope things are good in the OYR yard. This is probably the most important channel on the net. Nothing touches sustainability like your content. It is with such generously that you put you expertise and experience out there. I think I'll go get myself a shirt..

Picking the greens and the guitar...nothing better!!!

I followed your advice this winter of leaves on the garden beds.. When I planted my potatoes this year in a section of the garden, I had earthworms under the leaves. First time EVER in the 10 years I've had a garden there, that I've had earthworms! My soil is so much looser after just one year of the leaves, and I have beneficial earthworms. I've only turned the soil once so far, and by next year may not have to turn it at all. Thanks for this channel!

I get unreasonably excited every time you post a new video. I just harvested some Hungarian Pink Winter lettuce myself yesterday that I overwintered. First EVER lettuce that I've managed to overwinter, and it was just under a clear plastic container. Thanks for the recommendation!

I also love gardening and love to see those crops growing very well and rewarding whem its harvesting time of those veges.

Patrick! My gosh! You are so talented! I couldn't believe my ears when I watched your music video! Yankees making hillbilly music! Unbelievable! Wished ya'll were here in Dixie! Can't wait to hear more! Oh, and the garden is awesome too! Love how you get everything started so early! Blessings from Bama!

Gorgeous as always! Because of you, I am growing red veined sorrel for the first time ever!

[dkulikowski]

Thank you Patrick for sharing your joy and knowledge. BEAUTIFUL!

[spoolsandbobbins]

Such a delight! I could watch your videos all day. Alas, my own garden calls! Must limit watching to several per night! Thanks!!

[thduke]

Definitely hope you're doing okay Patrick.

Just got mine in as I was waiting on a tabletop bed for my patio, just planted cucumbers/beans/beets, transplanted peppers and one eggplant and the last 2 tomatoes, the rest are in pots on the other side.
