$5.6K a Month: Front Yard Market Farming (1Yr. Update) w/ Jim Kovaleski

This nomadic market gardener has created a life of joy & purpose, influencing an entire community of growers throughout the Tampa Bay area, all while making an income to meet his own needs. Jim has been a pivotal role model of ours since 2011, not long after we first began to grow food. We can genuinely say that he was a significant catalyst for change in our lives & we owe the foundation of our success to Jim's influence.

Each year in late spring, Jim travels up to a little town just outside Eastport, Maine, to grow the most delicious, clean & vibrant food you can find. Then in early fall, he packs up & heads down to Florida to repeat the same plan.
Jim does not follow the rules, He creates his own evolving adaptations; a mixture of pure refined classic agriculture (the scythe), techniques passed along by elder growers, elements from books that have proven their worth & the intrinsic download from living with the land & slowing down enough to read it's own suggestions.
He is able to make an honest living doing this very thing he loves so much. His days bring him joy, purpose, connection & peace. The insights & techniques he has collected are invaluable. He plants, harvests, preps & markets in a way that naturally flows & the whole natural farming process is just waiting to be shared with you.
We have been to visit Jim before, but had never been able to come during the best & most productive time of the year for Jim. Everything is growing, blooming, ripening & the scenery around his camp is pure magic.

Wanda Carlton awesome! Jim’s place is so inviting and beautiful 🙌

[@crazyju02]

Would love a video of Jim talking specifically on different veggies that do well in Florida and where he purchases his seeds. Thanks for all the epic videos. Sincerely- a mama gardener

[@PeteKanarisGreenDreamsFL]

We are updating the master class with a video specifically on this subject. We will break down all the Varieties he grows in Florida.

[@raymoten2421]

When he said he didnt care if people came to take the food my heart completely melted, such a kind soul.

[@terryisaac8195]

Yeah, but here in SE WI people steal your gardening tools at the same time that they take your veggies!!!

[@Zellonous]

I'm not so kind. just ask... it's not that hard. if you ask me I'll just give it to you.

[@FinznFowl82]

Yea they should ask, and not take more than they need.

[@mattmongomery-rice3913]

Heard you say the attraction rather than promotion thing in a different video. And it all clicked. Jim is serene as can be

[@WithrowUrbanHomestead]

Thanks for doing this update. I just love Jim’s wisdom. Nice to hear about the positive impacts Justin’s vlogs have had in Jim’s life.

[@PeteKanarisGreenDreamsFL]

Frederick City Urban Homestead Jim is the man! Glad you enjoyed

[@steveatlas1546]

Love the videos, music, conversations and all is so chill. I’m working out in my garden while listening, definitely inspiring what you and Jim share. Many thanks and keep it going!

[@lynn8524]

I really enjoyed this video! Beautiful garden with such healthy plants. He is such a kind and pleasant man.

[@TreDogOfficial]

Front yard crops can be elegant and productive. This guy's work is an example of that.

[@lydiarowe491]

Too bad they didn't wait till the fire engine noise stopped. Hard to hear him. He has so much important info to share.

[@scottnyc6572]

Yes but the Closed Captioning is where that comes in handy.You can read subtitles if you can’t hear over background noise.

[@rebeccaeverett3424]

Absolutely love these visits with Jim. What a lovely man. And a lovely Garden. Three questions. 1: by green garlic do you mean ramps or as they call them in German, Barlauch? They positively go crazy during Barlauch season in Germany. People who hunt it in the wild Safeguard their secret hunting grounds just like mushroomers do. Question number two, you mentioned several times learning from Kaiser or is it Kayser? Who is that? I would love to also learn from whom you have learned. Do they have a website or a KZbin channel? And question number three: who is it that is developing the new amazing varieties that you are planting and can we buy seed from them as well? Again thank you for all the wonderful knowledge that you are so generous in sharing!

[@dreamchaisr1]

the person who took the food, probably was just hungry. If I had to do that, I'd replant the plant too... it's respectful even though they took it without asking. Probably figured you wouldn't let them have any. Maybe they were homeless nearby or something and just wanted food. Taters are good for when you're hungry, and easy to stick in a fire or something and eat, even raw. Love the yard. I'm wanting to do something like this in my back yard. I have really bad soil right now though, and am looking for a source of wood chips to start amending it. I have very little money though so any improvements are small and slow, lol. Thanks for the insight into the planting pattern you use. I'm gathering info about this kind of thing as I'm getting old and need to find some way to make money before I get too old to do the job I do.

[@beerooted8550]

Hi so where does Jim get his seeds please

[@MrElemonator]

The money isn't there if everyone is doing it but you can feel good about knowing what environment your plants grew in. To think we are all going to eat plants and be healthy is bogus. Grow plants for animals that become our food.

[@mjf719]

I didn't know you can eat the skin of loquat. I have been peeling them...

Melissa Varone yes they aren't too bad. My son prefers them removed, I like them both ways.

[@MrVirkMedia]

amazing thanks for sharing

[@lorebrown5307]

Who are the Kaisers that Jim is talking about?

[@4thetruth62]

Can you eat the leaves on those potatoes

[@PeteKanarisGreenDreamsFL]

Yes, sweet potato leaves are edible and should be cooked.

[@SynthSage]

How long does it usually take to build beautiful soil like this?

[@PeteKanarisGreenDreamsFL]

Gabriel Razo I'd say a few years with heavy mulch.

[@SynthSage]

can i plant nitrogen fixing cover crops/trees to go with the heavy mulch? I live in the tropics. Philippines to be exact.

[@KittyKat-zd1yr]

Gabriel Razo Go heavy with woodchips. I'm from PI too but lived in US. We have to do something in PI our soil there is so depleted. I went home last year to Baguio, I was SHOCKED!! Baguio is not the same. I am very concern of our food source in PI, we can't be a slave of CHINA. LOOK UP HUGELKUKTURE I think we can do that well in PI.

Yes I agree, my favorite groups on FB are backyard gardening and Florida food forest groups. No competition only cooperation.

[@0ptimal]

Quiet joy. A lovely trait.

Actually... I want to "grow up" just like Jim.

[@suburbanhomesteaderwy-az]

Flea Beetles.......put a layer of grease on one side of a piece of cardboard, take cardboard grease side down, wave 1-2 inches above the plants with flea beetles. Flea beetles jump up when afraid. They get stuck in the grease, bag it up and throw away. You'll caught them, repeat as needed.

Too my surprise and delight he answered my message with a very informative answer.I enjoyed all the farms featured on Justins tour last year but Jim was hands down my favorite.Then your feature last summer was awesome !! I may make it to Common ground this year and if I do I am looking him up to say hello and thank him for all the inspiration !! As always Pete you feature content that sets the bar !!! Thank you Jim for sharing what you do and love !!

I used to have a mobile chicken pen, and once id harvested my vegetables, id leave the leaf and root matter and put the chook pen over the area. The eggs were exceptional and the soil was cleared and fertilised by the chickens. Great gardens btw.

That is awesome!! 🙌

[@KarlafromOZ]

Wow, this is amazing, things need to change, every house should be growing vege's in every nature strip, its just wasted grass area's that do nothing anyway. So why can't shire's be changed to think this way, each person in a street can grow a certain cpl of veg so the people have all veg to eat..

[@milkweeddreams8828]

I just came in from poundin n mulchin dirt, a year under my belt in Florida and more ideas for my food gardens, this is just what I needed to encourage me to learn more, Jim is such an inspiration, I love his enthusiasm...so glad I happened upon your channel, I now have a direction to follow and I'm beyond thrilled...thanks for all you do!!!

[@PeteKanarisGreenDreamsFL]

Milkweed Dreams awesome! Keep up the good work 👊

[@realthor89]

Florida is under ground already under sea level , you have to buy soil and bed it well to grow , dig a yard up 2 ft down and run a liner to stop weeds and sand and clay crap from going to soil and the plants roots , and fill it with soil and compost mixed. Don't just do soil by itself. It needs a super mix. And then don't put too much nutrients in the soil in Florida , just feed normally with a gallon mixed water at a time. Don't use hoses and spray , don't use well water , in less your know where the source is . Florida is hot and humid avoid those plants that don't do well In heat. Okay well I'm ranting .. have fun

[@beefriendlypermaculture]

Great video Pete! Jim is a legend! (Often highest praise in Australia is to call someone a legend!) Such an inspiration!!! Love and best wishes to Jim on his life journey ♥️🙏 Grow on brother! 🌱👊

I love your approach Jim..all common sense in working with the soil and climate for ultimate ease and profitability. You're inspiring! I'm making huge changes in my life to live more in tune with the natural world. Minimalism and being self sustaining are the way for me. Thank you!

[@amymclaughlin7373]

I planted sweet potatoes a few years ago in Tampa and they're still producing.

[@PeteKanarisGreenDreamsFL]

That’s awesome! They really are almost invasive once you get them started.

[@Gymnastzz]

I'm starting to take what people are doing to this planet very personally. I wish more people would grow their own food. EVERY SINGLE thing we need is provided for us.......INCLUDING MEDICINE!

[@nativepeace-warrior8996]

Jaemee Gasaway thank you for your deep insight of reality. I totally agree with everything you just said. We are on a mission to help folks grow more of their own food and be sustainable through permaculture and aquaponics

[@Gymnastzz]

Native Peace-Warrior I think that is an awesome and amazing way to help people! 😁

[@PeteKanarisGreenDreamsFL]

Jaemee Gasaway me too! The future is near

[@darkarrow7059]

So, Jaemee, how much of your own food are *you* farming?

[@AcornHillHomestead]

Jaemee Gasaway Amen to that! I think the time has come for us to begin planting our yards for food too. It can save tons of money. Even the organic food and veg in the store is crap and way too expensive. Its also hard and tasteless. Jim shows us how we don’t have to plant the old fashioned way in a garden with straight lines and it can be gorgeous as well. Win win. It also brings us closer to nature and gets conversation going with neighbors. We need to be outside and get out heads out of the electronic devices. Look at the Back To Eden Method. Paul Gautchi is amazing on this topic. We need to think completely different about our food and how to take controls of our health.

[@sarahs.9340]

I live in the same county- look at that freak'in soil! Mine is more sand. Please share, how did you generate black soil like that! Thanks.

[@PeteKanarisGreenDreamsFL]

Mulch, mulch, mulch! Just add mulch. Did I mention mulch?

[@melanielinkous8746]

I live in Citrus County. It's sandy too but this is my second season and I can already see the soil is getting richer from composting, burying fish heads and adding oak leaves for mulch. 🌴🇺🇸🐊💗

[@miltonwelch8619]

I'm deeply impressed and wish i were younger; I'd emulate this on a similar scale. Keep it up! Wish I had understood all these concepts when I was younger and had fewer injuries!

[@Andrea-zh3zs]

Welcome back!! I've been buying Jim's produce at Wright's Nutrition it's fantastic!! Thank you Jim & Pete.

[@PeteKanarisGreenDreamsFL]

Andrea awesome! Jim has the best produce ever:)

[@TheRipeTomatoFarms]

"Pests ARE the messengers"....so true! They are indicators of why a crop isn't doing well....very rarely do crops fail BECAUSE of pests...its the pests that are telling you that the crop doesn't like the environment!😀🍅

[@NotSoCrazyNinja]

I believe otherwise due to experience. In my area of the world, it doesn't matter what you plant or how you tend it, pests will destroy it if you do nothing to stop them. Fruit trees, for example, squirrels will destroy the entire crop before it even ripens. Squirrels will also eat ALL of the pecans on pecan trees before they ripen. Practically all walnuts will be destroyed by worms by the time they ripen. Crows and deer will destroy your corn. Birds will destroy your tomatoes. Aphids and ants are literally everywhere for late spring and halfway through the summer. June bug larvae will eat all the roots of your plants. Racoons and rodents will devour anything they figure out is tasty. You can't just "let nature handle it" or you will never get anything in my area because the pests will destroy it/eat it all. I did some testing and planted some food plants and just let nature handle it. They didn't do well at all. All were stunted from pest damage and some managed to produce something, but the pests got all of it before it could ripen. In the end. it was a waste of time.

[@gypsyvanneraddict]

He's a silver fox! His baby will be gorgeous! I need that brick maker he has for his plants; I don't like using plastic cells or paper. Maybe you could a vlog just about the seeding bricks he makes.

[@PeteKanarisGreenDreamsFL]

gypsyvanneraddict yes we need to do a soil block video.

[@travistaylor6110]

Those smaller golden potatoes at around 7:15 made my mouth water. I LOVE the smaller golden potatoes like that. Such rich flavor and quick to cook. I'm salivating over here. Lol

[@realthor89]

Florida has a bad cop to citizen ratio, they have more prisons in Florida than schools . They are jam packed prisons and jails and they have actully have prisons that are still being built and dont have anyone in them. They call them fema camps, but there camps for when the world goes to war for the third time. Florida Sherrifs will run it the way they want and they respond to the top Dawgs for more money and power . They think they own you if youre pulled over or detained. Florida has too many cops and too many quotas to meet to keep them away from effecting everyone in the state at least once in a while , you cant stay away from them. They also revenue more money than any business or monopoly in Florida, the cops run it there. They are harassing everyone , I'm sure this guy has been violated and ticketed just cause he Isent buying from the poison and junk food grocery store. They want full control and Id never ever call them for anything but life threating situations .

Jim grows the champagne variety, but it has seeds normally.

[@scottnyc6572]

Just tuning into these series of videos.All i can say is wow!! The amount of knowledge attained in just one video is incredible!!! We are definitely raising kids the wrong way when you watch what they could be learning and thriving from.This is the future of today’s youth since we can see how terrible society overall has become.The culture has become just too toxic for everyone that this is the perfect way out of that cesspool.We send our kids to school who’ll never learn this which is essential to life.The remedy is here and looks like we don’t have any choice anyway.Thank you too all in the making of these videos.

I know this post is 3 years old and have a low chance of anybody responding but im so curious as to how animals don't get to his veggies especially when it's not protected by any fencing or barrier?

[@PeteKanarisGreenDreamsFL]

Because he is in an urban area he has very low critter pressure.

[@mcfluffier]

The amount of knowledge this man has about crops amazes me. Imagine if all the food poor communities, had this kind of knowledge.

[@TheOrganiclady]

This was interesting. I'd like to see a video on how he prepares the soil for the vegetables. I live in Orlando and garden. I see he wears a tee shirt with Permaculture on it. I read The One-Straw Revolution but never tried that method. Do you know if he has a video on permaculture?

[@singhmaster4]

Making 5 thousand dollar off of this little garden? Is that realistic? I need to quit my job then. LOL

[@TheRipeTomatoFarms]

It is 100% realistic, if not lowballing. Control your input costs, maximize the cash per crop, per foot, per bed, minimize losses (which WILL happen), KNOW your local market. Food is only getting more expensive.....not less.

Thanks for sharing Pete. Can't believe it's been a year since I stumbled across Justin's and subsequently your channel around the time he was visiting with you guys. Awesome follow up with Jim and thanks for all you do.

You go, Jim! Some people should emulate him and stop wasting away whining about lack of opportunities in life. Jim is one amazing guy.

Jim has been a huge inspiration of mine: has he thought of building the potatoes up? Mollison talks about potato towers. Use chicken wire, small amount of compost and then mulch to the top, continuously adding mulch as it reduces over time. Increases yield by large amounts as tubers emerge from stem. also looks cool and adds 3d shape to the garden.
