Las Vegas humor.
Las Vegas. Do you start seeds in November , December we get small transplants here in Imperial county,Ca in January. Feb and transplant the small seedling which grow till lateJuly. We still have a little cherries left on our drying vines..
Oh so large, just like the bitches like it.
John did you ever contemplate becoming an auctioneer? ; )
It’s category is labeled "Education", why do you keep trying to selling me something?
You’ve just said, "look at this!, she can sell you this".
Interesting metallic mulch. 😉
Haha. Is that an Eggplant in your pocket? Funny guy.
I’m tryna see the full tiddy
Yes , being yourself is refreshing.
Phony hair sprayed stiff asses <senator types>are killing the rest of us all.
Thanks John. "Holmes"
Wondered what those damn trees were. I think almond are tasty but the buds are awful for allergy sufferers.

Love leslie’s big bush and big n sweet melons!!
if you are hung like an eggplant as u say you are perhaps you should do a nekkid gardening video with the tomato lady
Just planted my "home depot" garden. Built a box, filled with Miracle Gro and local soil. I am sure I will regret having used the MG stuff but I am just a beginner with a red thumb of death. Hoping to get some tomatoes and carrots, low expectations.
Loving these vids, they help so much.
Have you had any luck with any berries in the Vegas desert?
I don’t know water prices in Las Vegas, but where I live in the desert of Southern California, if I watered that much, my water bill would be at least $500 a month. Maybe more.
Gotta love John. Total nerd. but this dude is dedicated. He goes everywhere on the west coast and beyond. I would love to see him go to vietnam, morocco, or israel and do videos on the food forest and innovative farming being done there
hey rain water catch al year then water plants makes water bill lot lessssss
With that many tomato plants, I don’t suppose she goes around and pulls off suckers and lower leaves. Since these are primary tips most gardeners tell you is a must, how does hers do so well? What’s the difference? Sun, soil and moisture is a constant with every gardener.
Can’t believe I’m just now seeing this after all these years! BOTH you and Leslie (the little Minx) were in rare form…hiilarious!
Damn you go a little too far you’re like "I refuse to wipe my ass unless it is organic toilet paper".
9:15 –the reason the malabar spinach is growing in Vegas,is because its growing in dappled light under some shade trees–don’t assume you could plant that in full sun,and have it thrive like that.
Where is the best place to go for organic foods that is grown here?
Seen a few videos from this gentleman now, I must say I really appreciate his enthusiasm and messages. I hope that the production quality may improve in the near future because I think that would increase the channel’s reach and impact. Peace and keep up the amazing work. The passion is easily identified over here.
John Kohler said oranges probably won’t do to well in the desert. He couldn’t be more wrong on that one. He does know a hell of a lot though.
8:08 Evidence by her whaaaaa? :3
I want to have a garden like that some day, having chickens would be nice too for fresh eggs, right now I have a 12×14 raised bed so I’ll be able to pull plenty out of that for now but what a killer garden
Can you make update video on her house?
I really enjoyed this video, John you were in raw form, Naughty and funny at the same time!! One of your best ever! Thank you!
Good video. Searching through the transcript helps soooo much! well done.
I live in Las Vegas. Like your tips. Want to have a successful garden. Thanks for all the tips you offer!
I looked on Amazon and her books cannot be found on there any longer. Any idea on where to get them?

How many ton of tomato can yield per acre and how long?
Tomato lady soil is free city soil from the sewer systems, sold at about $10 a pot back in 2015. I’ve bought some from her about 5 big pots full… All my plants died. Not saying I’m a pro gardener at the time, but I’ve had 100% better results amending the native soil with organic compost.
She says John is "a little chatty" … lol
Here in Albuquerque we are in zone 7a (altitude 5280 ft). Taos is zone 6. Our summer temps are high and we freeze around the end of October. Please differentiate between high desert conditions (Albuquerque, Denver, Flagstaff) and low desert conditions. I can only dream of Meyer lemons in my garden.
"This is going in", hahaha! He just keeps saying it, lol!
Great video! ty for sharing.
Living mulch!!!! thumbs up!
The only thing I could ever grow here in LV was cilantro. Our neighbor had fruit trees which brought in a terrible rat problem.
Hey there,
Need some advice please.
I have some tomatoes growing for the past two months or so. and they are doing great generally. They have a lot of blossoms for a while now but only 2 fruit have set. I have been tapping them to aid in pollination and I have seen some bees around as well but the fruit isn’t setting. They have been watered pretty well, but not too much because my country is currently in a drought. The rains have been coming in a bit now so we haven’t been wetting them as much, but the soil isn’t bone dry or anything. The temperature here is around 29-33 deg C daily right now and the humidity is around 70%. Do you know why the fruits aren’t setting?
♡Thanks in advance!♡
"Her nice huge bush"…I swear I’m not 12 but that just cracked me up! Thanks for putting together a great video of stuff that can grow in the desert.
What. About. Rabbits
With the drought going on is it smart to be watering so much for a few tomatoes that you can purchase? I was thinking of tomatoes but thanks for reminding me of the reality of living in Vegas.
Always with the dick jokes, you pervy spazz.
Y’all the reason lake Mead is fucked. She waters NINE TIMES A DAY??? Fucked up.
I will like to buy some vegetables & fruits, it is possible, I living in Vegas.
Thank you!!!
