The color grading in your videos is some of the best I've ever seen.
I shouldn't be tearing up from seeing how gorgeous those stuffed tomatoes look.
Well done.

At the end of the clip I saw the plant called borage, with its beautiful blue flowers. My mom used the leaves instead of spinach in the filling of ravioli. :)

Feeling lost is part of life. When we question things and get ready for changes. It happens to everyone multiple times in multiple phases of life. It's only natural. For anyone feeling lost now at any age, stage in life - the beauty lies in asking the questions, and not just in finding the answers

I’ve been away for a while but I’m loving every minute of Gaz in his long-hair era, it’s giving Zaddy of the ravished garden 🥒 🌽 🥕 🍅

This is the case for many people in their 20s. I see so many people in their 30s who look a lot happier than they were when they were younger and they seem like they are more at peace and they don't let things get to them as much. I hope this will be me when I'm 30 :(. I've been watching you for a long time and I'm loving this new chapter. You're kinda living my dream life rn. If I'm not around nature enough then I find myself becoming depressed, more irritable, stressed etc. I would love to have my own yard with a garden. It would be so peaceful.

Big up to Tom for the great cinematography

Such a joy to watch Gaz, the stuffed tomatoes look stunning. I am salivating watching you make these. Can't imagine how amazing they must taste with all the homegrown ingredients. You have created such a tranquil and beautiful garden and home environment. Thank you so much for sharing.

Today is an emotional day for me. I have to say that each time that I see a video of yours, it brings tears to my eyes-in a good way. There is such a sense of peace and calmness that occurs for me. I love all of the fresh produce, communing with nature and joy that I feel. It's overwhelming, nurturing and meditative.
Cut yourself some slack. No one knows at 20 or 30 what our life choices are going to be. You are discovering who you are. Yes, it's scary as all hell, but enjoy the process to the best of your ability. Maybe your parents might know because of the goals that they have for you.
I didn't know until I finished nursing school at 25. That change doubled my income and gave me more independence. However, until I found the area in nursing that I wanted to focus in, I was sad a lot of the time.
Look at how happy you are and the joy that you experience with your life choices. Happiness will always change based on the decades and life choices that you choose. Enjoy the process and journey.
I LOVE your instrumental music. It reminds me of Latino music. It's soothing and meditative. Thanks for taking us on your journey. Sorry for the long response.

You are such a beautiful, sensitive human being ! Wishing you all the best!

I absolutely love that you open up with this kind of content. Even though this isnt your direct intent, you are a role model for men. Young men especially are lacking male role models who are focused on positive engagement in life, skills development, and forms of positive solitude. The internet needs more attention on positive creators and content that are connected with life in ways that genuinely support wellbeing and connectedness.

Oh this makes me happy. I’m glad you’re happy and your vegetables are beautiful!

[Choucheeeenn]

I can't say I'm that obsessed with tomatoes, but THE SMELL of the plant (the leaves, the sap) is really something.

Having a rough patch of mental health right now but your videos add sunshine to my day. I'm struggling to leave the house but cooking and following your recipes is a great motivation for me to leave the house and at least go to the supermarkets and local grocers around my town. Your videos are very motivating in a very loving and gentle way. Thank you 🌼🌼

Gaz,

Your videos help me to wonder.
Wondering allows my mind to be open.
It is as if the blinkers have been taken off.
A feeling of peaceful contemplation.
The feeling of listening to the world with my eyes and soul.
A wondering mind is a wonderful mind, filled with creativity, insight, and peace.

I am 23 years old and one day dream of a beautiful garden, equally as abundant as yours.

Thank you.

It gives me so much joy and peace to witness your way of taking care of what the earth provides .

[SegantPhilippaGraham]

That looks so good. Must try. Also that company also has a variety call "get stuffed, " which grows like a bell pepper hollow inside.

[ImMonty]

I’m glad you’ve found your love and purpose👏🏽As much as I’ve always loved to cook and feed people, I didn’t really realize that that was my Love Language until my late thirties😅I do want to start growing fruits and veggies…now in my 60’s…tried in the past, but it was somewhat disastrous…but you’ve been a great motivation to do better❤

I kinda like the way "beatin record" sounds, over "broken record" 😆

[petraleskovargrum]

I just have to add that the choice of music in your videos is phenomenal! Great compliments for editing 🤟🤟🤟

[sommermaxwell]

I can relate to feeling lost in my 20s and also finding myself in the garden. Just ordered your book. Can’t wait to enjoy all the recipes!
