Yes Chris is an asset to your channel. She is informative, articulate, and has a very easy voice to listen to. In covering a lot of material she never leaves you feeling overwhelmed or exhausted by the pace. A good move adding another arrow to your quiver.

[GreenLove]

Wow, Kevin, you have taken your channel to yet another Epic level with the addition of Chris - both from where she is (different gardening zone) as well as her style, her training, everything - fantastic. And I got a rooted goji cutting a few days ago. Now ready to rock and roll!

[trinhleloi]

Chris needs her own channel. Her knowledge is mindblowing and explained so well

[shellystone]

I am so damn happy Chris joined the team. I mean, really - who doesn't need more Canada in their life?

[robertcotrell]

Chris is such a fantastic addition to the team! This is also an interesting plant! I'll definitely consider growing it!

I’ve always loved dried goji berries! Didn’t know I could grow them myself! Absolutely going to try it out

[Kneenibble]

Having received goji seeds as a free bonus with a seed order, I am growing them for the first time in Winnipeg. They germinated quickly and easily with the paper towel/ziploc bag method, and after just two weeks I have ten little sprouts under the grow light. Great video, thanks!

[PegsGarden]

Love watching Chris over on Instagram, she explains everything so well, I am glad Kevin that you have her working with you, I will try to get my hands on some seeds so I can grow it here in Central Florida in my small backyard garden 🌱🌱

[meagantrout]

Chris is such an asset to this channel! I love her presentation style! I love you too Kevin and Jacques, don’t be jelly!

Amazing video! Thank you so much Chris! Another tip for propagating by cutting—make your bottom cut at a 45 degree angle and your top cut straight. This is a great way to not confuse the top or bottom of the cutting, as planting your cutting upside down is a major rookie mistake! :) learned this in my propagation class and I do this with all of my cuttings!

Thanks for the info!
Got a Goji last spring. Of the 2 that were at the nursery, it was the runt of the litter lol. As one that always roots for the underdog it came home with me. Within a couple of weeks it put out a few berries and was flourishing! One day as I was walking my yard I came to my goji... omg my heart fell! It looked like an animal had chewed it almost to the ground. I almost cried but told it how beauty it was as I headed for my clippers to clean it up...when I got back to it I realized that the person that mows my lawn had done a job on it with the weed eater! It's in a designated bed so it's not like it was in the middle of yard! To say the least I was not happy and I immediately found a cage to put over it. It's doing great now and I went back to nursery and got the other one they had...just in case!
Love the berries on a salad! Haven't had a big crop but hopefully this year!

[tykwang]

Chris isn't just quite knowledgeable, she's amazing and great presenter.

[bonezgaming]

I love Chris' method for layering. It never even crossed my mind to do it that way. It's such a quick hands-off solution versus the typical growing medium wrap situation.

[flourite]

I started germinating seeds from the dried goji berries I got from the medicinal hall out of curiosity and it worked! Can't wait for the plant to mature enough to fruit and your tips are really helpful! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[polkcellar]

Excellent video. Gojis grow abundantly here in drought ridden central california. I started mine from dried berries from the health food store when plants were still hard to come by.They can spread outwards from the root zone but are easily managed. Also they can be thorny so place accordingly. When other foods are scarce, birds will eat the leaves but it has no long term effect. The berries are a favorite of the mockingbird here.The hummingbirds love the tiny blossoms. I've seen videos where the plant is grown more for leaves to make soup. Good to have in permaculture, survival type gardens. Thanks

[devisinha]

Chris an Amazing presenter! And she clearly knows her plants. Thank you for all useful information and tips.

[jenniferferrell]

I just watched about a half dozen goji growing videos, and Chris provided more information than all of them put together! Thank you for the education!
