I live in Holiday Florida. I would love to come by and pick some veggies in the 3rd week of April for $.

[@milkweeddreams8828]

I never get enough of Jim's gardens, he is a true inspiration...and flowers too, just wow...!!!

[@frenchweewee4444]

Agree!

[@BaruchHaShem777]

I agree!

It doesn't feel like work if you love what your doing :) Growing my own fruits and vegetables has changed me forever!

[@rickobrien1583]

Yes! Time and energy well spent and enjoyed.

[@frenchweewee4444]

Totally agree!

[@PeteKanarisGreenDreamsFL]

Love it! 🙌

[@shellywilks883]

Jim is so knowledgable and humble, he has such a great personality and seems to be a very generous person. Both amazing gentlemen on this channel👍

[@Genesis--me8ud]

Jim knows what’s he planting ... Turmeric Suja immunity is a popular drink

[@isaac6739]

Selling big red? “No never! They’re gonna bury me in it” Jim’s a wonderful guy. Thank you for all of your videos as well, learning lots!

[@vintagetrishgarden]

'Growing better in the space you have' ...so true Jim, especially 'being here in the space'. Awesome season for you and so pretty the whole way. Thank you Pete as always for a great video/drone footage and checking in with Jim.

[@cpnotill9264]

So excited to hear from Jim again! Thanks Pete for this. 💚👍🌱

[@chiliwilliegrows7429]

Ditto

[@nancygoerlich8526]

I enjoy these garden visits with Jim so much. With you interviewing, it reminds me of The Victory Garden tv show I used to love. I miss that show, and your videos with Jim make me feel as though I'm watching it again. Thank you, and Jim, for these wonderful garden tours!

[@PeteKanarisGreenDreamsFL]

Let’s bring the show and movement back!

[@sheronrodriques4538]

I live in Jamaica, West Indies and I absolutely love to see this gentleman's farm. Awesome!!👍👍👍👍

Jim!!! Been waiting for a follow up. 👍

[@sadiewalrod384]

This was a fun video to watch. He has so much information to learn from. Amazing gardener!! In Idaho we are still waiting for the last frost to happen before we put anything in the ground. Last year I lost many tomato and pepper plants because we had a freak frost in later May 😕

[@rayeaglenz]

Brilliant, thank you, yes everybody's favorite farmer, thank you 🎁👍😊

[@bintlooda]

I always enjoy ur tour of his garden . Abundance in a small space always amazes me

[@vee5032]

Always looking for an update of Jim ( mr. Jim I admire you so much thank you ) .

[@ogadlogadl490]

Jim is such an excellent role model!!

[@helenmcgill5563]

He is definitely our favourite farmer 👍

[@STEPIQUE]

Jim Kovaleski is what we called a learned person. He sees things, smells things, hearing things that help him to do things better and bigger.

[@sellingroanoke]

I always enjoy your visits with Jim.

[@ohanastrand5793]

Jim is the guy!!! Thanks for keeping up with him...

[@cobralyoner]

Jim is my spirit animal

[@fabioricardo2680]

[@PeteKanarisGreenDreamsFL]

Thanks 🤩

[@beerooted8550]

Thank you Pete for sharing Jim with us

[@PeteKanarisGreenDreamsFL]

🤩

[@buyerofsorts]

Kovaleski videos are the best!

[@tkaart2242]

Thank you for catching up with Jim. He is amazing!

[@Manifestcovarience]

Just love what Jim does with a small yard. He is an inspiration to us all and he is certainly missed when he is in Maine!

[@cmj2072]

THE FLOWHIVE FOR THE BEES IS THE EASIEST... so gorgeous it's like paradise there

[@osdias]

This man is an encyclopedia of plant gardening knowledge.

[@terilerwick284]

Not sure why this popped up on my KZbin recommend since I live in on the 15th floor of a building in the midst of an urban jungle? But, just spent the past almost 4 hours following this amazing video black hole. So inspiring and life-affirming in the midst of all that isn't. Thank you Pete and Jim.

[@PeteKanarisGreenDreamsFL]

Glad you found us Teri! 🙏

[@euncieives5738]

Oh how I look forward to every video with Jim! Just planted tumeric a couple weeks ago and now I know to give them more water than I have been. Thanks Jim!

[@jonescreekfarm9084]

Stop by Jones Creek Farm when you go up to see Jim in Mane! I’m 2 minutes off I-95 in Georgia.

[@PeteKanarisGreenDreamsFL]

Cool! I’ll keep that in mind 👊

[@sharonp.6505]

I love the Jim K. videos!!! I can't wait to see what Jim is up to in Maine this year. It looks like Common Ground Fair will be on this year. YAY!!!!

[@frenchweewee4444]

Always good to see a update of Jims garden! It's not work when you enjoy what your doing. None of the space around the house is wasted on grass, awesome! I just ordered Pakistan mullberry & red mulberry tree cuttings. Hope they get as big as that tree!

[@alisonburgess345]

I think quietly all these market gardeners are gonna switch to growing mainly flowers, lol! Go Jim !

[@peggyhelblingsgardenwhatyo7920]

Jim is like the Ever-Ready Bunny. Great video, as always 👍

[@christinematthews5131]

As always, an absolute joy to to watch Jim do his thing, such a humble man

[@PeteKanarisGreenDreamsFL]

Gonna miss him when he travels back to Maine.

[@littleozarksfarmstead]

Need more Jim in my life 🙌💗

[@justtryandtaste8927]

Jim is my favorite gardener. He is so humble yet full of knowledge. I love every video with Jim in it. Thanks Pete!

[@thegr8stm8]

Hope Jim invests in a Flow Hive or two and also hope he tunes into Frederick Dunn and “The Way To Bee” you tube channel. Love his garden and sustainability. Cheers, Johno.

[@summervernon5841]

Thanks to you and Jim I took out my entire front and side yard this year to try and start my own food forest. I have no idea what I’m doing LOL but loving it.

[@cpnotill9264]

Great news! Jim and Pete are inspirations for sure. ❤🌱😁

[@PeteKanarisGreenDreamsFL]

I love it! Pound that dirt 👊

[@larryhenry719]

I just harvested the last of my mustard greens they are starting to bolt.

[@jamesstolzel3193]

Jim’s the best, man.

[@lydiarowe491]

Always good to catch up on what's going on..it never looks fallow..so much to pick...🌲🏤🌳

[@KRscience]

Thank you once again Pete and Jim for another informative video!

[@rebeccahenkins1697]

Yes the edge fight is the hardest because that stuff can get in there fast! At ;least I know I am not alone in that fight!. I am steadily adding more to my yard/gardens and slowly phasing out grass!! Thanks for the inspiration and motivations!

[@ogadlogadl490]

I watched the 3 min rap video just for you guys... Best content. Have now a 21’X3’ in my front yard because you showed it’s alllll possible.!!

[@babyybutter]

Jim's garden vids are one of the very few YT videos that I don't put on 2x speed as I am so busy! I can't wait for the Maine tour this is like an addicting tv series! Thank you both.

[@PeteKanarisGreenDreamsFL]

Thanks 🤩

[@toneyjohnson8910]

Glad to hear your are going to Maine I always get so many new ideas from you and Jim and learn so much. Thanks for sharing.

[@ilaisaanewest7313]

So true bigger doesn't always mean progress. Quality foods more nutritious and more variety

[@gulfcoastacrscrapper6523]

Good to see Jim and you Pete, love seeing what growing on. I need to get down there and get some of NPR Mulch. 🌴👍

[@missourigirl4101]

I just love Jim! I workday love to work in the garden with him and learn all his knowledge.

[@Abbiemassagetherapy]

Jim is such an inspiration

[@LongislandnativeSanctuary]

Hello! I’m gonna see you today at the nursery!!

[@giojared]

I have the same mode of thinking at the 3 minute mark of this video. It's amazing what you can accomplish when your hands on and observe your growing space. Little tweaks and improvements here and there, can result in pounds of produce at the end of the year. As always great video!

[@Flower_hoarder]

🌱🌿🌱INFORMATVE‼️🌸🌼🐝BEAUTIFUL

[@Masqueepo]

I love what he's doing so much! It's absolutely beautiful and the wildlife has to love it. Really great work

[@ChefDwight]

Hey Jim

[@isaac6739]

For nematodes try to inoculate your sheet mulch with a specific fungi that eats them or secretes enzymes that reduce the impact of them. Having that mycorrhizal association will benefit your garden a lot probably

[@sheronrodriques4538]

My pleasure!!

[@autumnmeadows4079]

Thank you, once again

[@kathleenviar5542]

Love Jim and his progress

[@keithbeal1214]

Great content again Pete! You ave lots of great vids and I always take something away w/ each of them! I got my backyard mulched (Tarpon Spring) and like to see a video one day on what are good crops to grow in our Florida heat during our summers. I haven't had much luck growing your typical salad type garden or farm produce. I've taken a lot of these techniques from Jim and your videos (soil blocks) and it starts out doing super and as the weeks go by it starts to get stressed out/ wilts and most never matures the way it should. I try read the plant, soil, etc.., but I'm left scratching my head!? I even tried a sun shade over the entire garden, but filtered only 10% of the sun, so the heat was still too intense for the veggies. I work so hard and read and see lots of videos and sometimes its overwhelming, but I stay positive that one day I'll have a green thumb. I did learn a little more about how Jim uses the shading from his house and certain plants like that, but unfortunately I have a yard that has little shading and gets an abundance of sun. Thanks so much for your hard work!

[@PeteKanarisGreenDreamsFL]

Thanks Keith! I work on a heat tolerant veggie series soon.

[@stevobear4647]

We love Jim!!!!!

[@jenniferhaas5200]

Thanks Pete! Really needed the spiritual nutrition that’s also given in the videos. Jim- you are such a joy as always!

[@PeteKanarisGreenDreamsFL]

Thanks 🙌

[@noelenejephcott6954]

So grateful to Jim for sharing his wisdom in such a practical way, i love how he models always learning. Thanks so much for sharing these videos Pete.

[@PeteKanarisGreenDreamsFL]

Glad to share! 🙌

[@madalenarenee]

Love seeing Jim, he has so much great knowledge!!:)

[@lisavandenelst814]

I know your Fred you need to have your crazy burritos with the greens.

[@Rebecca.Robbins]

Thanks so much for the video! I LOVE the Videos with Jim!

[@christineortmann359]

So inspiring- Happy growing everyone 😁

[@PatriotMango]

those sunflowers could be lemon queen

[@chrisk1669]

I would agree looks like lemon queen. I grow them every year and save the seeds. The colors will change over the years by saving their seeds.

[@sugarbomb26]

LOVE Jim! More Jim please:)

[@brucedownunda7054]

In valuable info. Thanks Steve & Jim

[@ChefDwight]

Looking forward to you going up to Maine

[@PeteKanarisGreenDreamsFL]

I’m stoked!!

[@butterlite100]

Love the Jim videos! Cant wait to see Maine!

[@brianpendez5340]

Absolute dream mulberry tree.

[@skyveek2435]

[@bryangalen6340]

Thanks for another awesome video!

[@susanjordan2130]

You are inspiring me to do more and better.

[@richfiryn]

Always impressive going for the tour with the master.

[@nickyperryman2683]

So inspiring!! Thanks so much for sharing! What a pleasure!

[@PeteKanarisGreenDreamsFL]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@thomasjensen609]

Awesome video! Really inspiring 🙂

[@joselitofangonilo2762]

Thank you Pete

[@rolanddane5015]

You both are inspiring, I've been working the land where I'm at in CO, most likely I won't be here long enough to see anything green come up, and I'm sure the people here will simply not water anything and if so survey would never pick a weed. But I know I'm helping the soil for the next person that decides to grow, and you guys have assisted me in adopting that attitude toward it. So that's what's growing on with me👊

[@49testsamiam49]

love JIM

[@wtfutv5419]

I hereby claim, Jim is a New Earth hero.

[@PeteKanarisGreenDreamsFL]

🙌🙌🙌

[@vinnettepope8255]

Beautiful farm and garden 😍 ❤️ ❤️

[@jeff6899]

Everyone loves Pete Kanaris, Jim Kovaleski videos ! Evidenced by 1000 Plus Thumbs Up...and only 3 down ! I second that, though. Also feel like Jim needs an occasional break :) But I get it--the garden sucks up a lot of time; especially when you have another full-time career ! But You do What You LOVE ! Great video again ! Blessings... :)

[@PeteKanarisGreenDreamsFL]

Thanks Jeff!!! 👊

[@jamaicanagriboss1]

I so understand what you mean with hand watering your garden will talk with and show you ideas...

[@NagaMalayaliCouple]

I just love your garden bro, so good. I wish to visit your garden so inspiring. So relaxing seeing greens..🥳. From nagaland India.
