Thanks. Phoenix area here. I plan to grow longevity spinach next summer. This summer, Egyptian spinach was the star of my garden, growing like crazy and providing greens all summer for salads, soups, and cooking. I simply planted the seeds in pots, and they are about 6 or 7 feet tall. I love going out and picking some for a dinner salad or dish. I also have grown Malabar spinach for the past 2 summers, and it grows great here too. I just planted New Zealand spinach after recently hearing about it being grown here. It's still too small for me to pick and taste though. Water spinach is illegal here.
Hi John, We are growing all this in Englewood, FL. Using boogie brew tea on gardens with great results. Saw your videos on using boogie brew teas. Thank you and keep up the great work!! Rick from Englewood
Aquarium/pond enthusiasts use sweet potatoes as a water filter. Suspend the potato above the water to allow the roots to grow down in the water, you can use the vines as well, just don't let them in the water, only roots.
First of all I have to Apologize to you! I am sorry.😞 I was in Ventura last week and I was there the last day & night . I was Listening to you and the other men at the closing evening giving us your knowledge. I was the lady who has LOTS of tummy issues. My friend had to be up Very early in the morning and we live 2 hours away from Ventura. I wish we could have stayed and listened to your words of wisdom and knowledge . We both hated leaving 😢😢and enjoyed the whole experience and look forward to going back next year! Thank You so much 🌱💚🌱💚
He grows in dry heat. I do, too, and we won't cool down out of the hundreds until the middle of October, so there are those of us that can relate to his climate. If your climate is different, then why do you follow him?
From your content. There is a huge range in the quality of worm castings and the very best can be expensive. Compost can be very difficult to make and top quality ingredients can be difficult to source. Fertilizer needs to be organic and full of life. Fertilizer typically is full of 'deadrients' made from oil and applying this will kill the living soil web. What are your thoughts on Trifecta + from Mi gardener ?
I juice the stems as well as steam them, depending on the processing technique, they can be edible but depends on thickness as they will be really fiberous.
Do you have Egyptian spinach seeds to sell or share? I have been growing some I obtained locally in Florida and the taste and heat tolerance is excellent, but the leaves are sparse and only about. 1.5" long. Would also appreciate guidance from anyone on where to obtain seeds that produce large leaf dense plants.
Please disregard. The likely source is wendyland, who's listing for seeds shows photos of the same growth pattern, and John has done shows on Wendi several times.

I'm in Phoenix, the garlic chives will be 3 this winter. A plethora of blooms this year too. Potted, shade but bright.
Moringa is such a prolific grower. We plant a lot of them and mix it with our rice, bread…
Chicken loves them too

Thanks for the information...I have also all of them except #10. They grow well here in zone 9a Gainesville Florida.
Thank you sir. You are amazing 🙌🤗

Yea that purslane took over almost every pot in my yard!
Yes you can just provide shade for them...I live in Australia and it gets hot here

The Imperial Valley Ca has the hottest weather in the USA. We do not have monsoons but we are an agricultural valley, some how…
My garden was taller then ever before this year. Really hot in nor cal this summer.
Nice growing saluyot!
Why an episode now about heat? Except for Vegas and AZ it’s fall now.

You may need this episode for the future summers, as the weather warms.
Hi John. At my garden the eggplant loves heat 🥵

Can you eat the steam of moringa and make flour?
I juice the stems as well as steam them, depending on the processing technique, they can be edible but depends on thickness as they will be really fiberous.
We use the leaves in chicken papaya soup out here
Is manihot cassava?
Egyptian spinach was the vegie of Cleopatra to keep her younger looking...
❤❤
Do you have Egyptian spinach seeds to sell or share?

Clearly, many people need to grow these veggies in their gardens.
If you have not started a garden, do it.
Jute, baby, jute jute.
Water Spinach = Kang Kong
