This is such an epic event. It's even scientific. This isn't even about silly food size contests, this is an unreal way to look at the way we get our food, the stuff we eat, and why it's so terrible!
John you are AWESOME!
Nice look at the show. Thanks
Good video ! I love heirlooms .
I wish I could have made it up there. I live so close! I found out about it in the Baker Creek Seed Catalog.
another great video
be there tomorrow!
Leave them be, the soil may be too wet, however mushrooms can be a beneficial and a sign of a healthy soil. Sometimes they grow on uncomposted wood, symbiotically with other roots, or in rich soils.
Thank so much for showing me this! Of course Im from Pa. so I won't get to come there...Sad :(
yes---do it for the squash(tour) and the tomatoes too!
to cool! I want some!!
I noticed that under my husky cherry red tomatoe plant has mushrooms growing under the plant. This was my very first plant I ever grew I use 1 bag mirical grow potting/ garden soil with 2 bags mirical compost with 1 bag worm compost in a 4x4 4ft deep box. Should I dig out all mushrooms I'm afraid that it might affect the tomatoe plant . Thanks for the help
How did you draw such a conclusion?
My understanding of Monsanto is just that they want to stamp out competition while self preserving their position, which is essentially the goal of everyone and every entity in a Capitalistic system and they do it quite well.
Wow! I had no idea there were so many varieties... Do you know why they only offer such a small variety at the grocery store??
New Azomite!!! Hey John. Have you heard about the new micronized Azomite that will be coming out probably next spring? I spoke to a guy on the east coast who informed me about it. He says that it goes through an even finer screen mesh to make the micronized version even smaller, almost water soluble. He says the might call it nano Azomite.
John, is there a web site or magazine where one can find these types of events in advance? I was too sad I missed the New York event -Woodstock.
cool shirt John
hey john try growing north calorina cross watermelon
AWESOME
Jere and Dave from baker creek in the background !wooo!
Tx does have huge watermelons
Wish I lived closer. Love wtching your vids though.
the U.S. government used to give away seed way back when----wish they would do that again and that they would be Heirlooms and organic too
Great Video, but a bit too far for me, I'm on the East coast. Do you have an URL for the seeds you showed us? The ones from other countries? I'm also going to check out the seedmatters site too. Thank you!
What is the better composter for a apartment/ flat a wormcaster or a BOKASHI EM ?
