[@Kathysart]

Love, love, love. Wish I could see this in desert climate.

[@tinyjungle_]

I live in a Mediterranean climate but you could argue it's a desert climate much of the time

14 years ago, I watched and subscribed to this channel. He is my OG for planting crops, and I learned so much. Many gardening channels are gone now, like Praxxus55712. Stay Strong, healthy and safe John.👍✌

[@Perseverance4477]

I forgot about praxxus channel! Do you know what happened to him?

[@edinelsonramirez5656]

Muchas Gracias for sharing!

[@EverettSmithLoveisAll]

Grass is gold!...

[@mamtajaya6457]

Hi John. The tips of cassava plant , sweet potatoes plant and chilly pepper plant can be cooked and eaten. I did that when I lived in Fiji

[@Sampozsik333]

Thanks John I love the tour videos

[@cregowilliams6626]

Informative vid

[@danellefrost5030]

Genetic memory is inherently imbedded in all of us. Spending time in nature and in the garden awakens what we know but have forgotten.

[@MiAdi9]

Gracias

[@james0esther]

John. The Vetiver is called Pachulí here in PR different spelling than Patchouli.

[@mamtajaya6457]

I love that Bele. Boil in coconut milk

[@motab1631]

The barking whining dogs and nonstop roosters crowing really make me miss PR 😂🤣😂 glad you all bringing in the good plant genetics, when I lived there all they had was some pale tasteless tomatoes and plantains to eat

[@gcxred4kat9]

What does a couple acres near CAI go for approximately?

[@MrShoresjb]

You talk about the"maylay" plant? how is that spelled? cant find it anywhere

[@travisdysart7518]

Bro I just thought of you because I'm buying fertilizer. I know you have talked about this but what's the easiest way to get rid of worms that eat your roots in cannabis plants ? .

[@whycamucwatuwant]

[@whycamucwatuwant]

[@whycamucwatuwant]

[@themangovista]
