Looks fantastic there, a lot of good work and networking, It's good to get so many families together doing the same thing and swapping surplus foods, great stuff guys. Perfect for bringing the community together.

Goofy smile Baby Tabon , your youngest fan Kaye 😀. What a wonderful community initiative❣️

[@thehealingberrygarden9608]

Fantastic episode, so many inspiring, optimistic, wonderful people! I wish I could have been there! And it was so nice to see Louis and family again. His garden (as seen last year) is just great. Thumbs up for him too. :-)

Thank you for being part of our community! fyi Harvest Partners is having a produce swap Saturday August 19, 2017 2:00-4:00 p.m. At Bixby Park!!!

[@Latebloomershow]

Awesome!! Thanks for letting me know!

[@omfug7148]

wonderful as always. I am having a good gardening season myself here in Western WA, I have to garden in pots on a hillside, so I am always interested in seeing what sort of production people are getting from small plots (not to mention that gardening gets my mind off of politics, LOL--gardening is anti-toxic!), looks like they are doing great in that little side garden. I love the professional quality of your videos Kaye your experience in the industry (being an LA native we always just said "the industry" haha) really pays off in the naturalness of your hosting style!

[@kingenglishshow7853]

nice to see all these wonderful peoples

[@pattihayden8100]

Amazing community. Makes me want to start something like that here.

[@Latebloomershow]

I think you should! Reach out to them thru FB pages for advice and inspiration. ❤

[@bonkersinco]

Thank you so much for this video. I am a resident of North Long Beach and had no idea that this is going on in my backyard. Will definitely look forward to participating in the swap when my fall garden comes in. Love your videos.

[@Latebloomershow]

Drop over to the Victory Garden even before that to get to know everyone! And be sure to check out their Facebook pages, North Long Beach Crop Swap and North Long Beach Victory Garden. I'm thrilled I was able to connect you! Thanks for watching!!

Almost missed this video. Didn't show up in my feed. Love it! This is what urban gardening is all about

[@meehan302]

Crop swap was a brilliant idea started by Geog and Phil. This event was well attended by a really nice bunch of enthusiastic visitors that like fresh healthy garden food. A very interesting well made Video Kaye. Cheers Patrick

[@dirtywhitehorse]

great idea ...especially in California

[@BenjasUberHobby]

Wow what a great swap! That is so cool to get to see thing like this going on. Seems like a very tight nit community :)

[@GreenZebraGardening]

Benja's Uber 1337 Hobby We may be a large group but we all know each other by the end of each event. I know I look forward to it every month. I clean up the counter of the surplus and come home with some great stuff.

[@eeeekie]

We have something like this in San Diego and all the surrounding counties called San Diego Backyard Fruit Exchange! It's amazing. We don't just do crops we do eggs and everything in between.

[@Latebloomershow]

That's fabulous!! I must come down and shoot a video sometime! Please let me know when! Thanks for watching!

[@eeeekie]

That would be amazing Kaye! If you're on FB check out the FB group called San Diego Backyard Fruit Exchange.

[@GreenZebraGardening]

Ericka Marie I just found out about this group and love it. I don't live in your area but I love all the interaction in that group.

[@eeeekie]

StartedwithTomatoes it's a great group! Everyone is so helpful and we have some great swaps. It's gotten so large we've created sub groups for multiple areas of San Diego. I just love it!

[@Latebloomershow]

That's awesome! The week after I shot this, I went back down for a local homemade fig jam contest. They are very active and having fun.

Olá seus vídeos são sensacionais!! Sou Fabio Morais, Engenheiro Agrônomo e ajudo agricultores a produzir alimentos orgânicos. Um grande abraço aqui do Brazil!!

[@dymondwillow2]

Great video. felt like i was there along with you. I have noticed you wear long sleeves a lot. I thought you lived in a hot climate... you would freeze in Northern Alberta!

[@Latebloomershow]

Yes, as you will see I had long sleeves on even in Mobile, Alabama! Always. I am very fair and get burned in 20 minutes and/or dark spots on my skin. And YES, I would freeze there! Haha

[@Latebloomershow]

My brother-in-law just spent the last five years in Alberta, but I never made it up there. Vancouver and Toronto is as far north as I've been in Canada. :)

[@scmarih]

What a great idea to get together as a community to Crop Swap. I might have to go down there, where can I find more information about it? I wish we had something like that here in the valley. Thanks for sharing Kaye!

[@nlbvictorygarden5238]

Hi Maricela! you can find more information on it at facebook.com/groups/277419722632020/

[@Latebloomershow]

Luis, can you get a unique URL for the page like you have for the Victory Garden?

[@nlbvictorygarden5238]

Hi Kaye! The North Long Beach Crop Swappers doesn't have a handle like the NLB Victory Garden. Reason being that the NLB Victory Garden handle is connected to their Instagram account and the Swappers don't have something like that set up.

[@markjeffreymiller1]

James is not swayed easily by a pretty face.

[@Latebloomershow]

Lol! Hahaha. Needed a chuckle tonight. The cortisone shot on my knee wore off today. :(
