I think we should give recognition to the person holing the camera in these videos, the footage is always so smooth and never jerky. So big ups to the camera person.

The best cat to get is one that needs a home. And thank you so much for your awesome channel. I have really learned a lot from you. Keep up the good work.

[@KateTheMama]

Hi James! I'm hopeful that you see this comment. I hope it offers you a little extra appreciation, pride, and inspiration. I've been following your channel for probably 2 years by now. You inspired me to start my first garden and you e become somewhat of an authority figure in my mind when it comes to gardening. Last year, my oldest son turned 3. It was his first year really being active in our garden. He planted his first seeds, watered his first seedlings, and harvested his first vegetables and berries. This year, we moved to Poland and have acquired 10 acres, where we are building our dream homestead. Our kids are now 5 months, almost 2, and almost 4 (in may). My almost 4-year-old is OBSESSED with your channel and it gives me so much joy that every time he wants to watch a video, he says, "Mama! I want to watch James' garden!" And everytime you harvest a fruit or vegetable, he jumps with joy and shouts "mama, a tomato! Oh, look! A cucumber! WOW an apple!!" It's an incredible feeling. I'm so grateful to you and your channel. Thank you for all of it!!!

[@ritabliden6065]

Oh my goodness those melons and peppers make my mouth water! Yes please video on the strawberries. And thank you for the shout out! So happy to support James and Tuck. You are so inspiring!

Hiii tuck😊😊😊😊 James honestly I wish more men would grow food like you🙏😊🌱 happy Saturday stay well be safe🌻. I grew some honeydew and cantaloupe year that was beyond words

[@waterisgold]

[@snailplumbus1080]

There's a big orange cat that wonders my house in the mornings, but there's also tons of squirrels, I think you might have to invest in loads of sunflowers next year so instead they learn to harvest those and maybe take half your hazels

[@mankymckrackin7126]

orange cats are fat and lazy.... usually.... just like Garfield.... Calico cats are hunters

[@pinksky1467]

Wow, that melon looks so delicious. Your garden must smell so wonderful from all the fruit trees, flowers, and veggies. Great video. Where ever the squirrels homes are there will be so many nut trees in the future from them. So your loss is actually another area's gain with many trees waiting to grow. The birds too will carry your seeds and replant them near by. There will be food forest's near by some day. Love this video.

[@heysuz701]

For cats…check with you local shelters…if you want one for outside only some will offer “barn cats” that may not be as social with you but do their job and earn their keep well!

[@GrFkDsGnR]

James, I hope you see this. I love your energy. You’re a huge inspiration, and bring great information along with infectious enthusiasm. Tuck is the best cohost and garden guardian….a very good boy. I’m way down in zone 9 but I still find great value in your videos, but more than anything your positivity is addicting. I know everyone has their down days, but your zest for life has to be your super power! Keep doing you! You are wonderful.

[@baileylisk4881]

James your energy is infectious, its really great to watch. Another fantastic installment 👍

[@DumpsterDivingMoe]

It really is! I just want to bottle up his energy!

[@andrewbeffa2178]

Hi Bailey

[@jedd.5407]

9:45 That was Tuck helping you "root prune" your peppers! Trust the little guy, he knows his garden well!

[@Angelaisabellaful]

Hi James! I’m so glad your growing echinacea (coneflower)! It is almost like a natural antibiotic! It’s awesome! Also if you get a bite from those pesky insects, (unless it’s really poisonous) if you put echinacea tincture on a cotton ball, and tape over bite, it will heal quick, and also feel better faster! It also works amazingly with sore throats, the tea really helps. It usually lowers fevers, and helps fight colds. Just wanted to let you know these flowers are awesome! Loving Tuck too! 🐶

[@hmpz36911]

I'd couple it with elderberry and boost it with capsicum and honey to sweeten it. For tea, of course.

[@ranasherrick9625]

Thanks James…. We love your channel here in North Texas. I’ve been watching you for about 8 month now. I’ve learned so much! I’m 63yrs old today… and I’ve started laying the foundations for my own food forest! Like you said… plan five years ahead! 🙋🏼‍♀️💪🏻

I just love the way this man speaks and i love his content. He is such an inspiration.

[@carolcassidy7700]

I love how passionate you are and Tuck just adds a whole nother level to it. You inspire me so much and I love watching you guys. I would love to have a food forest but just don't have the room but put in as much as I can.

[@brandonyuh9165]

James, we are extremely thankful for the way you create this harmonious food garden. Please show us how you grow the abundance of strawberries.

[@catzdollz9810]

In 2008, I found a wild ginger kitten that climbed up onto the air cleaner of a cars engine on an extremely trafficked County road.We named him Lucky Ducky..later on it got bastardized to lucky TUCKIE..then Tucker..he's an old fellow now...simply called : "Mr. TUCK"

[@davesmith6719]

Love your enthusiasm! I read a Chinese proverb lately which I think you will like ..."The best fertilizer is the gardener's shadow." Looking forward to more great videos and getting my garden going this spring here in the Pacific Northwest (Surrey, BC). You've given me incentive for a variety of food plants: apples and other stone fruit (espaliered on my back fence), peach, blueberries, currents, and tons of annuals. I can send photos when it comes together if you like. Cheers!

[@Crystal-jw7ji]

The amount of different tomatoes varieties you have is amazing.Your fruits did look very juicy and delicious.Awesome video...thank u for sharing your garden with us ❤❤❤ tuck.

[@milferalvaro1747]

Flowers not only bring you outside to your garden, they also bring the bees out too!!LOL

[@DebAmlen]

Hi James! Thanks for showing us your wonderful bounty, and, of course, for your wisdom and enthusiasm (and Tuck!) I was wondering if you could make a video on how to clean up your garden and amend the soil for the winter so that it's ready to go in the spring. This year was my first year growing in new beds, and I made the mistake of filling them all with mushroom compost, which was unbalanced (e.g., radishes didn't bulb up, probably because the compost was missing something they needed; it really should have been a mixture of things. I'd like to add some soil and nutrients before it gets too cold to garden here in central NJ, but could really use some guidance.

[@elvirasumlin2600]

Please do a video on strawberries, love your videos and wealth of information you give. Thank you!😊

[@denisewood75]

I love your posts.... please know that we all love your videos

[@olderendirt]

Tucker is the best gardener. I can't believe how late you're harvesting, but that's marvelous. I'm in zone 5 so most everything is done here. My parents and grandparents always had zinnias in their garden to attract pollinators and just because they're so pretty. Thanks for sharing your garden.

[@susandowty7537]

jersey girl here...as for a cat, any breed will due. females though are usually the hunters or huntress! make sure you get her fixed, otherwise be prepared for howling day and night when she hits puberty. I got my girl at the shelter as a kitten. she purred the minute I picked her up. she brings me mice and sometimes snakes as gifts. before you let her to become outside and indoor cat, keep her inside awhile to get used to you and your home. when you do allow her out make sure her collar if you get her one is a breakaway, so she doesn't get strangled if caught on something. I have 4 long hair chihuahuas, a German shepard who thinks she is a chihuahua, my cat who is a fluff ball, and my son has 1 cat and 1 kitten which he rescued from the woods. oregon woods can be pretty rough. cougar, bear, bobcat, coyote, wolf and birds of prey. good luck and love your videos

[@Dragon-wl5ic]

Wow James, having a green thumb ( and a green helping paw, lol) gets a whole new meaning. Your videos are fun to watch and I have learned a lot as a newbie!! Thank you and greetings from France

[@SmallSeeds]

I've been loving this little season extension here in PA. Last year frost came about a month before this for us. Beautiful as always!

[@GutenGardening]

We seem to be having a similar experience here in zone 5 Wisconsin.

[@leahhicks1162]

Would love to see your process on getting the strawberry bed looking so good.

[@debihediger4760]

Thanks for another fun video! Tuck is a wonderful little boss, so sweet too. Our little Tiny came out from under a Brads Atomic with a tomato and surprised my cousin. I guess not every dog eats our fresh veggies. LOL!

[@VM-ce9zy]

Yes. Please show your plan for the strawberries.

[@feastingongoodness9318]

Curious about how you're processing all your produce. It's nearly killed me cleaning, chopping, freezing/making sauces and in some cases parboiling then freezing so as to not lose anything. I'm running out of space in the freezer to store things and although I've just purchased a water bath canner and have some fermenting jars I haven't been braves enough to try yet. What are you doing with all your food? Your enthusiasm is contagious-very encouraging to me as a newbie!

[@melindawolfUS]

I dehydrate most my produce since I have so little storage space myself. Dehydrated foods become so small and light and last a long time. I make my own green powder for healthy smoothies and I leave out the greens that make me gassy. Dried squash is awesome to add to Alfredo sauce, dried fruits make my oatmeal like a desert. Dried veggies are concentrated flavor, can be used like a spice. I make dried caramelized onions to add to soups and sauces and I don't have to spend an extra hour on dinner to add them to my recipes.

[@pri.sci.lla.]

He says he prefers growing over preserving so he eats what he can fresh and gives the rest away.

[@feastingongoodness9318]

@Pricilla and Melinda- thanks for the replies. I'm hearing about possible increasing food costs not to mention shortages (we're in Canada) and we are a family of 7-lol so the idea of adopting homesteading, more self sufficient lifestyle practices is very appealing to me. To be honest I've been enamoured with all things health, wellness, herbals and organic gardening for some time now. The whole outdoors back to nature, simplicity/minimalism lifestyle makes sense to me in our stressful, increasingly techno worlds. I absolutely love the dehydrating tips! What a genius way to up nutrition and avoid preservatives in things like veg stock etc and extend the seasons- wow so many benefits. I appreciate the abundant examples/details in the reply. Take care!

[@brodiejr4real]

[@danamama6766]

Find a black and white kitten and raise it in and outside. It will stay around and protect. Just like Tuck. I know the theory of cats that are certain colors act a certain way is debatable but a lot of it is very true in real life from my experience. And it will get along with Tuck he will enjoy the companionship. I see Tucks dog tag is Tucker! Love it. Gorgeous fellow he his. Precious boy. hugs

Home grown strawberries are the best! We should all have a strawberry patch if we can (… and if we love strawberries).

[@PhosphorAlchemist]

To use that trifolate orange without a huge amount of sugar, infuse it in rice vinegar or vodka. You'll get the flavor in a way that you can use in salad dressing, as a flavor extract, or in mixed drinks. The flavor is lovely, but it's super potent and you have to get around a lot of resin and seeds to enjoy it.
