I grow some of these in San Francisco and if you know about the weather in sf it's pretty ,much crap SOOO yeahhhh not all is tropical dum dum

Yum. Loquats.

Does your loquat fruit reliably now that its of age? Many asian families grow them in my area (central valley) but I think they may be ornamental no idea if its a dependable fruiter.

ohh, you are making me so hungry

why my Physalis peruviana doesnt have any fruit when i open it:( its really sad. what do you think is going wrong? -greeting from copenhagen denmark!:)

Have you ever bit into one of your fruits or vegetables, and accidentally eaten a bug?

Will the cape gooseberries that were not sufficiently ripe continue to ripen (off the tree)?

THESE GUYS are reallllllky annoying

Your new HFGH filled up quickly. Time to get another one. Interesting fruits. I thought it was going to be about citrus trees.

mmm I love loquats, let me know if you have too much, I'll gladly help you out... seriously

John, How did you build your arbors in your yard? I want to build so myself. Shari

John will you espalier some apples/pears?

You're killin me, eating all that yummy stuff! So jealous of your climate. Here in Texas we can't grow as much variety as you. Keep the awesome videos coming!

Hello sir I have a question about the feijoa tree its about 7 feet tall and about to go in the ground what other stuff would I mix in with rockdust sir. Please help. And how many times is good to water it after I plant it.

I did grow ghost pepper last year. It didnt make any peppers in the raised bed with rock dust.. Either planted too late, or it likes more heat. I am growing it again this year.

No Trellis. Check my other videos for a Rasberry Trellis that I will build one day to 'control' them better..

Do you have a trellis for your raspberries, or just let them spread out? Thanks.

Always love your videos but please get a better camera for when you you do the close up it is hard to see some of the fascinating educational stuff you are sharing

Please grow the ghost pepper would love to see how the ghost pepper would do in your raised bed with rock dust
