Have you ever seen front yard gardens that don't piss of your neighbors or bring down their property value? Can someone sustain themselves with only backyard gardens in your opinion?

P.S. I hate all the bugs that infest my leafy greens, like Kale

Wow, I didn't know you were out here. I live in Miami now, originally from Brooklyn, NY. Someone like me who can't afford these alleged "farmer's markets" (Which is ridiculous they have to truck it in at zone 10, smh), I definitely have been grateful enough to come across yours and Ray Praxus's channels to learn basically all I needed to grow at least much of my own food (good looking out!). I didn't even know this place existed lol, Interesting....

dylan is a cutie!!

what i do not understand, why people in USA find it ok to grow their food right next to a busy street where all the heavy metal out of the exhaust will contaminate the plant life.

Thanks! The raised bed construction was really helpful.

31:13 Dude looks like James Francos skinnier brother lol...

quick question about the Katuk (hope I spelled that right!) why did you recommend not to juice too much of it. just curious I would love to grow it. were in so fla too:)

Looooove the lisp!!!

Hey John...Do you have any advice on how to keep the squirrels from destroying everything? They dig up everything. I have been tempted to invite them to be my supper.

Been looking for the name of that peanut butter tasting leaved tree.......can someone help me out?

sauropus* aka katook

saropis.. interesting. perhaps small videos with specific titles and explanations would gather you more views.

what is that plant at 21:00 that tastes like peanut butter ?

something I've done with my boxes are to countersink them 4-6 inches and dig out the inside before filling. this helps to keep the frame rigid so it doesn't bow out.

Great information in this video...I'm from South Texas and I'm going to start some raised beds myself...that Okinawa spinach looks awesome...definitely going to grow some of that. Awesome video thanks John.

Thank u so much John for all your videos but especially like these ones since I live in South Florida 😜 I learn a lot by watching them! I appreciate all your info to help us....And I will be sure to call and visit the folks at Ready to Grow!! I have three acres in SW Ranches near Davie and I will be ready real soon maybe in the fall to plant all the beautiful annuals and periannuals u mentioned !!

he was taking care of a marijuana garden in college

I visited Miami Florida in the 90's - loved it! The warmer climate is actually very similar to Brisbane here in Oz where I live (nearby) so it's no surprise to me how many plants (especially edibles) you can grow in that wonderful part of the world. Cheers :)

Awesome video. I just set up a new raised bed garden and love the drip system, it makes it some much easier to water. Thanks for sharing.

We have a place like this in Las Vegas but they are very expensive. I wish it was a little more affordable.
