New Jersey IS NOT the Northeast. Folks from the northeast mostly HATE New
Jersey, which is the worst of the Mid-Atlantic States, if not all of the
states.
Jersey short didn’t help. But FYI the Northeast starts at New Yorks
Southern Border.
New England starts at Connecticut and RI’s southern border.

This is not the northeast. John please help a gardener out who lives in
norther New Hampshire. What am I to do to be successful? What varieties
can I grow? King of the north is listed for peppers but it is always a
failure. Look at the reviews. The northern varieties always do poorly.

The Golden Turnip. One of our early permaculturists died recently. Two days
before I went to the area he developed in Plainfield, VT where I saw some
35 year old chestnut trees. Nicco Rubin of East Hill Farm would be the man
to give you a tour there. In Columbia County NY Hawthorne Valley is a great
biodynamic farm well worth visiting. Well I could go on. Enjoy your tour of
the NE.

me

Good advice concerning the neighbor who uses pesticides. Any reasonable &
neighborly neighbor would most likely agree to that deal. Why not? It’s
free to them and much more healthy.

Hi John, thanks for coming to the East Coast! I’m up here in Central Maine

Hi John. I always enjoy your videos. I have a question about watering. I
live in Rosamond, CA (high desert). Is it better to water a vegetable
garden more frequent for less amount of time or less frequent for longer
time? I know they always talk about less frequent with longer watering time
for deeper root development but my plants don’t seem as healthy when doing
it that way and bugs attack more.

@Ian Wynne I agree that the yard has too many trees. I mean, don’t get me
wrong… trees are great for natural shade and privacy, but this yard is
pretty dark & shady. I’d definitely try cutting down a good portion of the
trees. Great call.

I water my desert garden more often for less time. (especially important
during the heat of the day). Ensure that each cycle is long enough to get
good penetration if you know what I mean.

Was very glad to see him in person and hear him through. What a simple and
a smart man. who is full of gardening knowledge and sharing with everyone
interested. Although I was thinking, was it a dream… no no no. it’s dream
come true. Really happy after taking a picture with him. 🙂 btw he
mentioned in one of his vids about this event guys, which was taken after
he broke his arm while fixing his bro’s garage. Anyway the even held @
Ramsey NJ. And he was heading to NJ food festival…

Hello John, Since you were talking about different containers I have a
question. I was wondering if you have ever used Fabric Grow bags? If you
have, mind sharing your thoughts.
