How you going to be in Florida and not stop by my sad home food Forest? Actually you need to visit Bryce in Inverness. He has an impressive banana collection of 50 varieties not to mention the rest of his yard. Fifty varieties of bananas in Inverness! That’s pretty far north to have a yard that looks like a Costa Rica jungle. He also has the worlds best mulberries. Just ask Pete about them. https://www.youtube.com/c/BryceGarling
I live in nevada and you are my inspiration. My garden is much smaller but l hope one day to have one like yours. It is such a rough climate here but the happiness l get from growing something successful in the desert is amazing!!
this guy hates hus neighboor for suee
Wow I’m glad I finally found you! I’ve been searching for hot weather Gardener to help me along the way especially since my vegas patio garden is between 2 two story buildings and it gets even hotter down here in the middle.
I have eight of the large Stone outside pots from McCormick & Schmick’s when they remodeled. The contractor gave them all to me and brought them to my house because I was the one that had to do all the gardening there previously and he knew that the kind of meant a lot to me. (I was the hostess actually)
So in my tiny little patio- 16 x 20 maybe, I have eight of them Across The Back Fence and that’s how I’m attempting to grow my garden as well as stack containers in between them on top. However this year has been hotter and the summer did not prove to be successful although the plants are alive and survived I did not get much fruit if any after the Heat hit so now they’re actually starting to come back and flower even with the high heat stress that they went through.
I am hand watering that’s the only way I can do it and actually I need to take some of the peppers out cuz I found that they don’t have the proper drainage and the peppers are sitting in a swamp!!! Growing tho not big
Thank you for sharing your experience because I appreciate all the help you can give us. Still looking for aluminet reflective covering that will fit my whole patio and not just pieced in.

Desert gardening is quiet the challenge especially since I come from Alabama at sea level and now I am in southeast Arizona at almost 5000 ft above. Shade is necessary and 2x a day watering. But also, learning about the climate zones you have in your yard is very useful as is perennial veggies. John thanks so much for your info on gardening.
Thank you for making the videos. I’m learning a lot!
Hi John. I just started watching your videos but didn’t know you live in Vegas.
Would you sell any of your vegetables etc. ? I’d love to buy from you. I’m big on organic eating.

Hi, I just want to ask where did you get your horseradish tree or moringa tree?
Hi John,
How often do you water outdoor succulents on the summer? And how much… yucca, agaves, aloe, sotols and succulent bowls ect? And how much do you water them in April and May
Why did this guy abandon aquaponics after blowing his bugle so much about it?
Did he ever got to the point 🤔
I’ve bought in the worm castings from organic solution and they are going to destroy it because of the nematodes that are in them… Help me with any important info to fight this would be helpful

You hit the nail on the head! Being a desert gardener myself the struggle is real! Often times more things die than grow so it is a delicate dance! But I am also proud of my accomplishments in such extreme conditions 🌻

omg i’m watching this at 2x speed and it’s still not getting to the point lol
I heard plants only need 1.5 -2% of transmitted light for photo synthesis. So 50% shade over tomato plants should be ok right?
Thank you i live around mojave in lancaster these tips im praying will help me grow into a better gardener
I’m definitely watching and learning from this channel since we both live in Vegas lol
What about partial shade maybe the shade cloth during the hottest time of the day and full sun in the afternoon when the sun hits from the West side before sunset in the summer time.
too much blathering.
Does your Ebook cover your favorite and currently single only approved drip-tubing system for watering your plants?
You mispronounce foliar "foilar", solanaceae "solanancae", edamame "ediname", moratorium "mortitorium", familiar "farmiliar", foliage "foilage", turmeric "tumeric", cellulose "ceulose", marjoram "marajom", cardamom "cardamon".
I love how he keeps saying he recommends it AT THIS TIME. It’s cool, people should understand that as time progresses or needs change and products change.
Omg I been lookinh for gardening buddies from vegas or just desert places to share tips with!
Looks like a huge oleander.

Hey John I live in California’s high Desert Apple Valley to be exact . Sun has not been my problem but the freezes have affected my gardening more than the extreme heat and sun exposure . Any tips on how to combat the low temps ? It’s gotten down to 15 degrees in the winter .
Vegas dweller here. I can’t believe I just found your channel. Somewhat new to gardening but have no yard. I have occupied every empty corner of my apartment with pots. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
I need your help
Looks great. Take care.
You live in vegas, grow gardens and dont gamble?

I 💖 that outfit on you is just like "Luffy" from "One Piece" ✨✨✨💖✨
Watering: you are the first person to explain the process to me thank you. Most of the garden, big box stores have the wrong information for planting in the desert I am in Phoenix it’s a dry heat!
