Thanks for joining me.

So hilarious the way you said "Roll the fountain!" And "Something terrible happened to the squirrels. They fell out of the trees and died!" Made my day watching this before bedtime. Thank you David and David's wife! God bless you and yours.

An older video featured you and Rachel planting peppers from grocery store peppers, so I saved a bunch of seeds from huge red, orange and yellow bell peppers that I purchased. They grew beautiful green bell peppers that ripened into those same colors. I save lettuce seed, radishes, tomatoes, butternut and banana squash. I’ve also had great success leaving my best beet, carrot, and onion to winter over and produce seed the second year. End up with some strange squash but it always tastes just fine.

I feel like David The Good is actually the villain of YouTuber Gardeners... I just get a scary vibe that you're gonna compost me and turn me into mushrooms if I enter your garden.

Racheal, I loved your cooking videos I found in the way back machine! I know UR probably too busy for them currently, but I’d love to see more if you ever do have the desire, and energy!

David and Rachel you two are my favorite to watch and learn from. Thank you both so much for educating me on all the aspects of gardening!

0:07, 12:43, 24:44 This video could not have been better. You are my favorite vigilante gardener. Here's a little tip everybody, if you buy the digital version of Grocery Row AND the paperback....you can start reading 2 days b4 Amazon can get it to you and you will always have a copy on you. You are welcome, green thumbs for everybody.

Seed saving sounded good and then I heard Monty Don say he was saving seeds from this plant that doesn’t like his property so that he can try to acclimate it and I went 🤯. Also there is something charming about having your own special varieties... And ya know, just in case the world ends….

3 yrs. I'm finally going to be serious and save seeds.
3 yrs. Was overwhelmed with black clay garden 😵‍💫 (now, 1/2 way to good soil) and how to grow stuff. 😱😱
My brown thumb is now tannish pale green.

The squirrels fell out of the trees and died 😂😂😂😂😂😂

I loved your new book Grocery Row Gardening. It's very informative and not surprisingly brilliantly written. Dude you are a word smith.
Is it a testament to your love of gardening that you are not a famous author? It's obvious that you're very capable. Good job David.

I store seeds in supplement bottles which have a desiccant pack and seal tight to keep the damp out.

It is prudent to choose friends who have a large forehead and own a good sized skateboard or perambulator, or something easily converted into a camera dolly. I find that having a make shift forehead caliper, made out of a square of cardboard, is a wise thing to carry when looking for new friends.
In order to no alarm prospective friends, it can also be a great idea to decorate the forehead measuring device to make it look less threatening.
These are just some of the things I have learned a long the way.

My wife likes the tree rats.. so we screwed some field corn cobbs with corn on them to a tree to give them a treat this Spring . The corn kernels were gone in less than one day and then we had corn popping up all over the property. So the squirrels have made me Officially A
a GMO grower.

This year has been a great education in seed saving (and a lot of fun). Black beans, poblano peppers and grape tomatoes to name a few. Saving this video!

I admire your safety equipment for the Pepper's. I had the experience with some "Local Habenero's" that poor me thought I could wash off with soap and water??? 6 hour's later at bed time, I yawned and tear's came from my eye's. I naturally wiped my eye's with my hand's, and I paid the price! I washed my eye's out with Milk to neutralize the burning! Recently at a Farmer's Market, I saw some strange looking Pepper Tree's! I looked them up later and learned that I had bought 2 "Carolina Reaper's!" The Man later told me that I can handle them as long as I don't break the skin of the Pepper!

"That is when you get upset because You married a relative" Ha Ha! Didn't know about the corn. Appreciate these videos from the Good Family.

Beans going their own way, I am dying way beyond rolling on the floor laughing out loud.

I am really enjoying your new fancy way of editing your videos especially when there's a little rum thrown in thank you so very much

5:02 I figured that out the hard way last year. The number of Fortex (which is supposed to be one of the most prolific green beans available) I harvested was actually smaller than the number of seeds I planted! My best guess is the raccoons got what I couldn't find. Now I only grow "colorful" pole beans like Blauhilde, Rattlesnake, and Goldmarie.
