Some really great things about Annie’s (I’m a local) that you didn’t mention: They do all their own propagation; they only sell 4-inch pots because it’s the ideal size for planting; and they donate all overgrown pots to local schools and community gardens. It’s a neat organization. One thing I do find with their ornamentals: I’m in zone 9b, and I have to be careful what I buy for summer heat. Annie’s is in a much milder, bayside climate, and some of her plants don’t do as well in my scorching, over-100 degree days. Just an FYI for those of you with hotter climates.

[@irrationalmoon]

I had a little giggle at the kid who snuck into the background. Absolutely adorable

[@he7is7at7hand]

My dad lives in North Dakota and has some of those Egyptian walking onions. They are so cool. They help to keep worms out of apples when they're planted under the trees.

[@Green.Country.Agroforestry]

Very cool! I grow (and ship) walking onions, but had never heard that!

[@tthappyrock368]

Wow! That's good to know!

[@ms.anonymousinformer242]

I knew of John from where I bought my juicer a few years ago. Then I just got into gardening (not out of interest lol but interest in survival skills) and stumbled on his channel (this one) for the first time ever.

[@victoriam3055]

Love your channel, and the enthusiasm you bring to the topics you cover. I always learn so much.☺🌱

[@Hayley-fs3wx]

This is just the video I needed! I've been searching for some great edible perennials to grow in zone 7. I'm so glad I can order from Annie's because it's hard to find some of these plants in my area. Your videos are great! I've learned so much from you over the years!

[@thebunnyfoofoo]

Love field trips! Annie's has a beautiful printed catalog too. :D

[@GarickChan]

Thanks so much for this video. I just visited Annie's yesterday after watching your video. What a great find! Sharing with my local gardening friends.

[@jwrightgardening]

Those sound like some fun plants to grow. I wish I had a nursery like that in my area.

[@christianhansen3292]

like the background music. thanks for the details on the plants.

[@christianhansen3292]

actually with sales tax comes out to 4.34! lol i am penny pinching especially around these holidays.

[@christianhansen3292]

what is the particular name for that yellow viola plant?

[@chezsuzie]

Thank you for sharing this, John! I've been enjoying your videos for YEARS now, but having lived in a small condo in Honolulu, never had an opportunity to really get growing. Now that we finally live on the mainland and have a backyard and can start growing, I was so happy to recently find some VERY reasonably-priced 4" purple tree collard starts online at Annie's! Since I'm a newbie, I bought 6--the max that would fit in their standard shipping box--with the hopes that I'll be able to keep at least one of them alive. They arrived today and are already so big and healthy-looking! I'm very hopeful that I'll be able to successfully get them growing and propagate out to family and friends! Much mahalos!

[@missfloflowers]

Cool. Thanks so much!

[@jnprfilms]

Good work 👍

[@chanceDdog2009]

What should I grow. Im in zone 9b Im writing this in 2 week of July. Also a complete novice. Just planted basil last month and it grew very well. Now i want to try another edible plant

[@tompartee4560]

Great video! Ever had any experience with the silver buffalo berry?

[@richardbarry04553]

Wow that is some high security for a plant nursery!

[@bigbuggie5]

It's in Richmond, California.

[@Mr1fish2fish]

I like the word populary in this video.

[@jeffgegos7333]

Gojis are easiest solanum related plant in cold climates and I think it’s berries are healthy to. Also may pop is a passion fruit you can grow in cold climates and will come back.

[@dennyspessoa2792]

Please put captions!! I',m brazilian

[@allnaturalhomesteaders]

I have purple collards, is it the same thing as purple tree collards? I'm in zone 8. Currently The plants are tiny little things. Maybe an inch tall or so. But I'm going to hoop them this fall. And there in straw beds. So their warm. Anyway is it the same plants? Purple top collars the same as purple tree collar? I also have purple top turnips.

[@jonnytotti4156]

Loved this video...do you have any suggestions about a severe gopher infestation? I’ve been fighting this for 5 years...thanks

[@ms.anonymousinformer242]

I have voles. I am doing a first time garden in above garden beds.

[@leaelizabeth23]

Metal mesh below raised beds? I think I saw something about it on Epic Gardening Channel. Maybe that can help you find an answer.

[@bezenhappync]

8:40 if you want to get to the point.

[@DIYSolarandWind]

I had to pin this. I will have to watch it tomorrow.

[@soilbellefarm3710]

What was the starburst fruit name again?

[@FknNefFy]

My patio garden is failing but I have some cool things maybe you would save them or adopt them😢

[@levibaer18]

Annie must be a Cajun or Creole, because she’s jamming my Zydeco!

[@FknNefFy]

Did the rock lettuce work out/taste good??

[@granolaguy001]

You mentioned Ugney (sp?) plant that you say tastes like starburst. I can't find any info with all the diff spellings I've tried.?

[@Luz-xl5bk]

[@Luz-xl5bk]

Lisa Weiche Thank you🤙

[@OddlerPro]

Try Soursop. starburst tastes exactly like Soursop to be exact haha

[@asupremum1246]

OddlerPro , oh wow, I was trying to figure out what it reminded me of. That's it, Starbursts.

[@winterfae5403]

Bit hard to hear with the music

[@Hunters_Laptop]

RICHMOND! YIKES!!! Rough hood...

[@forexercises]

The difference between inside the nursery and outside are amazing. When your inside Annies, you completely forget you're in the middle of a industrial city. It's wonderful!

[@orangemoonglows2692]

please stay away. stay in your fearful bubble.

[@Hunters_Laptop]

Not fearful. I choose not to live in that environment. If you want to live in a crack-addict infested slum, that is YOUR choice.

[@dade4537]

They have all of the names in latin but the ones they don't have in latin, like Collards are marked incorrectly as kale. NICE!!! Making life really difficult, huh Annie?

[@InHisName999]

Cool only a little over an hour away. Place looks sick!

[@spacetravelingcactus3450]

I just wanted to know what perrinials to grow, not a tour of Annie's.

[@mewendy1]

Space Traveling Cactus He said right up front that he was at that nursery, it was obvious he was going to tour it... It's helpful for people to know where they can buy plants he talks about... Why didn't you just look at the list he posted in the show notes... Or if you got about 5 minutes in, he referred to a great website, PFAF, that you could use. This guy put a lot of effort into this helpful video. If it's not ur cup of tea, or u need more hand holding, it's not his fault.

[@spacetravelingcactus3450]

mewendy1 I just think his title was not a good representation of the video. I mean a video on what perineals to plant should be about what plants to plant in various zones.. But it was literally a tour and came across as a Annies commercial to me... That's all I was saying..

[@Cheesyenchilady]

Space Traveling Cactus here 9 months later but yeah I agree with ya

[@peninsulahomerenovations9680]

lol photobomb, chop chop

[@thepincushionman7063]

25:22 LOL

[@mikeb1960]

Doesn’t get to the real content until 8:42

[@Mr1fish2fish]

Latin in alphabetical order is kind of funny. Ha ha.,

[@humbllbug]

Yahshua - you know Him as Jesus - was born to a virgin, turned water to wine, taught, healed the sick, raised the dead, casted out demons, walked on water, calmed the storm, and fed a crowd of thousands with a few fish and a few loaves of bread on two separate occasions, among many other things. He was killed on the cross as payment for the sins of all mankind, three days later He rose from the dead. Forty days later He ascended into heaven where He sits at the right hand of the Father. He is returning very soon, but before He does, Satan, the devil, is coming to pretend to be Jesus/God (2 Thessalonians 2:1-4 and Revelation 2:10). Satan is an angel, and he will have certain supernatural powers with which to try to fool everyone. He will, for example, be able to make fire come down from heaven in the sight of men. He will only be on earth a short time before the real King of Kings, Jesus Christ, God in the flesh, returns. When the real Jesus comes we will all be transformed into our spiritual bodies at the same moment. Jesus came in the flesh to offer forgiveness of sins and eternal life to anyone who believes and calls on His precious name! if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. - Romans 10:9 KJV Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper, There came unto him a woman having an alabaster box of very precious ointment, and poured it on his head, as he sat at meat. But when his disciples saw it, they had indignation, saying, To what purpose is this waste? For this ointment might have been sold for much, and given to the poor. When Jesus understood it, he said unto them, Why trouble ye the woman? for she hath wrought a good work upon me. For ye have the poor always with you; but me ye have not always. For in that she hath poured this ointment on my body, she did it for my burial. Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached in the whole world, there shall also this, that this woman hath done, be told for a memorial of her. - Matthew 26:6-13 KJV Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near: Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon. Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh. To anoint your self, the sick, or a building for spiritual protection: Get a small bottle of olive oil and pour off a small amount into a smaller vessel like a vial or baby food jar. Use the rest of the bottle for cooking. Ask the Lord to bless your vial of oil in Jesus name. Anoint yourself with the oil by placing a dab of oil on tip of finger and touch it to your forehead, and ask the Lord to bless you/heal you. To anoint your home or other building: place a dab of oil on your finger and anoint the door posts and order all negativity and evil out of the house, and order that nothing negative or evil can enter into your home including piggybacking on a person entering, order it to be so in the name of Jesus. Anoint all potential entrances to your home. To anoint the sick: place oil on tip of finger and touch it to the head of the sick and say a prayer of healing over them in Jesus name. See James Chapter 5:14-15. For the word of the LORD is right; and all his works are done in truth. He loveth righteousness and judgment: the earth is full of the goodness of the LORD. Let all the earth fear the LORD: let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him. For he spake, and it was done; he commanded, and it stood fast.,..,.,.,.,.,

[@FknNefFy]

You’re all over the place. Where do you ACTUALLY live? I’m in so cal and I know ur nearby but 🧐Vegas, Bay Area, SoCal?

[@Icecream0monster]

This seems more like an ad than a guide :(

[@manthonychavez]

Free info on plants that last indefinitely and bring you abundant health and wealth and somehow it's a bad thing?

[@telfordpenfold18]

more education about edible perennials and less advertising...

[@thepovertyagenda]

remove the background music please!

[@racebiketuner]

Yes, please do.

[@carinwiseman4309]

I am not a guy.

[@sandycooper386]

Probably lots of usefuly information but I couldn't handle the background music so didn't watch to the end

[@eviehammond9638]

The first 9 minutes were just repetitious, and gave no information at all, not even a good commercial for Annie's, which is what it seemed to be. The rest is a non-stop rant that also seemed to contain little information of use. Try stopping for breath once in a while, and planning what you're going to present in advance. Ugh.

[@debbieexcell5088]

Edible perennial vegetables 🤔... Why diverge from this topic? The video played off like a promotional video. This ambush technique does not reflect well. It actually detracts from the credibility of the presenter, and distracts from the content of the video. In future be more concise and open about ur intentions.

[@vexydara]

Lol the kid in the background
