Do you know where I can get tree kale or tree collards? I live in AL and
have searched all the places I know to search. Thanks.

I was wondering what that Egyptian plant was until you called it Molukhia,
I know it as Jew’s mallow……it makes a great arabic slimy soup.

tomatos.. not sure how much lettuce i will get out of what i did.

pots. do you have any idea’s on how to make a temporary bed that is easy
easy to move if we move without ruining the plants? any idea’s?

How using a childs swimming pool (plastic type) it can be moved easily.
Think of it as a large pot. Put some holes in it for drainage.

Yes! I wish I generated enough compost to fill all my raised beds, but I do
not generate that much compost. Compost is an integral part of my approach
to growing food.

That’s great. I just started composting with worms. I am a senior in
college and hope to start working a plot of land in the fall. I volunteered
last summer on an organic homestead and am enthralled with organic
vegetable growing. How do you keep pests from his crops? Is it just by
planting companion plants such as flowers and herbs to confuse the senses
of the insects? Thanks, and keeping doing what you’re doing. Amazing

Speaking of grazing! Have you tried Radish pods? Last year was my first
year garden, and I tried growing radishes, but they SUCKED!!! So I left
them so the bees could have the flowers. One day I was wondering the garden
and noticed that seed pods were developing on the radishes. I figured, what
the heck, won’t know how it tastes unless ya take a bite… lets just say,
there will be radishes again in my garden!!! The pods were THAT GOOD!!!

I love that you put your garden in your front yard. I am fortunate that I
have a very large back yard and have over the last three years put in a
total of 12 beds ala square foot gardening style and we are adding 7 more
this year. You can see them on my channel. Are you a raw foodie? I think I
saw you on Kevin Gianni’s show once. I definitely think more people should
grow their own food, it will save the world! Thanks so much for sharing
your great garden! Noreen

I wondered how you keep the bugs off you kale. We planted so much last year
here in Canada, and the bugs ate them right down! They looked like
skeletons. I was so disappointed. I am planting some stuff today!
