Same thing here in Georgia! Really sad, only a couple of things are locally grown. 98% comes from wholesale.

Can you do a show on myth versus facts for when to harvest.
-
Thanks John!

I love this guy, I work for the railroad now, but I learned so much from this guy. I am really saving up money just so i can just be a organic farmer market saler. John Can I make money doing this? I used to live in California, but at my mothers house we have 54 haying chickens so we average $2000 a month. I have 600 tomato plants too. one day I want to start jarring my simply organic marinara sauce. what do you think about the idea John? i love your shows, i learn so much from you. 100% American made.

green onions are my favorite as well as celery.

Thank you so much John for sharing your videos with us. I love watching your videos as they are so full of information and very interesting at the same time. God bless!

Bought a big orange habanero from Kroger. 10 cents or something. Every seed in it grew.

Yes their is so much things that you can plant without buying seeds for instance, when you eat a tomato just take a spoon to take out the seed and just plant them. In less than a week they have sprouted. I also took a pigeon pea from the one that I have let it dry and turn brown then planted 2 and know they are around a foot long. When it gets bigger it goes outside. Great video.

Here's a laugh John. One year I had a whole garden that I collected from the farmer's market garbage skip. Our farmers tend to dump the residue of their stock at the end of the sale rather than struggle with them on the buss back home to where they have the produce in abundance anyway. If you are not too self conscious, then this area has a number of plantables. Tomatoes, peppers, melons, pumpkins, okras,garlic, eddoes and sweet potatoes.

I WISH we had a market like that here. We have a Very SMALL place called "Local Roots" but there isn't a lot of choice like you have. My DREAM is to see a BIGGER variety of organic non gmo foods available in our local farmers markets.

thank will go there some time

Pollution is so bad in California I refuse to go back. Look at the haze in the background, your breathing this crap.
-
You can actually use an onion, cutting around the center to spare the root and core, eat the parts removed, then plant the root/core, which will sprout and reform over the course of a few months, so you can get two onions for the cost of one.
-
Great vid John! I would like to mention that you can also grow lemongrass, which I saw at in the video. Just stick them in water near light and they will root in a few weeks.

I love your videos. You are an inspiration :)

It seems so obvious, but I never thought of doing this. Great idea!!
