I wish they would teach more gardening and foraging in schools! I grew up thinking you need a big garden with good soil to be able to grow anything significant. This is a whole new world! Thanks Rob

I am a teacher in Central Florida and I take care of our school garden. I will share this info with my students! Thank you!

The creator is truly my portion and inspiration...God put the medicine in the food of the earth

There is a reason you did what you did for a year... to teach us all!! Thank you so much!

I grew up eating yams, cassava and sweet potatoes, mangos, cashew fruit, soursop, jack fruits and much more. I grew up at the northeast of Brazil.

So am I the only one who started a garden and got addicted during the pandemic? 😁 Happy Gardening everyone!🍷🍷

Being able to grow all the calories you need in your front yard is an important thing to prove and keep proving. There is much debate on how much land a person needs to full fill his or her needs. Nothing beat the experience of actually doing it. This is why you are my hero.

Yes let’s build a wall of 🌿 herbs and natural medicine

Raspberries can be grown under ALL kinds of conditions & harvest can be giant, then preserved for a spike in sugar & calories as well as necessary nutrition all year round. My grandma supplied several families with preserves from the the thorny bushes surrounding her garden that protected it from deer. Raspberries also do very well along forest edges & in bad soil conditions & don't need attention.

Hi Rob, it's nice to known your channel. Here on our property we plant yams, cassava, bananas and papaya. With green papaya, we make soap. Papaya contains an enzyme, called papain, which has an antibacterial action and is an accelerator of the healing process. It is an excellent bath soap for those who live in the countryside. All the best. Fábio from Brazil

Oh my! most of these crops are indigenous to Kenya, East Africa where I'm from. I remember harvesting yams with my grandma when i was a little girl. We'd roast it over the hearth fire and take it with tea! And the cassava, we actually eat it raw too as a snack when working around the garden. It peels so easily. We just avoid the center 'root' or stem. Pigeon peas, we grow in plenty and our favorite thing to do is harvest before they dry out and boil some then fry with heavy coconut cream. We have papayas, plantains, moringa and so much more too. I miss the farm life.. City life can get so shitty.

Carrots are biannual, used as an annual. Allow 2 carrots from each cultivator that you grow to stay in the ground. The following year it will put all of it's energy into growing seeds. Parsley is the same. There's a lot of plants that we grow and eat as an annual, however they're biannual.

As a beginner gardener looking to be independent from grocery stores here in Hawaii, I would like to say thank you for all of your helpful videos you put out. it is truly golden content 🤙🏿

Im Jamaican and almost everything you mentioned is grown here. Moving towards being more self sufficient! Cant wait to grow all these amazing foods.

Cuban oregano grows incredible well indoors, I've had my plant for two years (adding new soil twice into the same pot) . It lives in total shade for 10 months out of the year, and it just keeps growing. It is by far my most resilient plant.

This is your local West Coast Canadian here, confirming that yes, drive by and midnight zucchini attacks are a common occurrence.

Thanks for this video. I'm in NC. I've had the same Swiss Chard for several years. I just chop up a few leaves and add to whatever I'm cooking. I also grow Figs in pots, propagate from cuttings and share with my neighbors.

My family used to do cassava and yam gardening in Nigeria as a kid. Miss it. Also pineapple, avocado, plantain, mango, cashew, guava , lemons, orange , coconut, palm fruit , corn , papaya and lots more right in our backyard.
