I purchased organic chive onions and cut about 2 inches from the root and planted them in soil. The size of them are so huge now. Probably 6 to 7 times the size they were when I initially bought them. Plus new spouts keep coming up out of the bulb. I tried planting what was left over of a stock of celery. The only thing that has actually grown, though, is the green leaves (very dark and lush bush like).....no stalk at all. I'm not giving up yet.
If more people start covering their yards with this density of vegetation then it will cause a major shift in the weather. More rain and clouds. Cooler temperatures. Good work!
I had the CC turned on to try and get the names of these plants since I live in SE Coastal US and my climate should be perfect. Instead the CC was hilarious attempting the names of the plants as you identified them. So I decided to click on 'more'. Thanks for including all these plants in your write up about this episode. I've grown the malabar spinach and can't wait to try the others.
I have a giant kale plant that grow like tree. Although we don't really eat it. It is a beautiful plant in lanscape and have a pice of mind there is something we can eat without much care. That is awesome
Love your garden, i live in Phoenix AZ i just recently got half an acre of land to start my micro farm, its just me building it up so progress is kinda slow but i got one of my chaos raised bed garden with watermelon (growing thru the shade cloth 😅), chiltipin pepper, Carolina reaper plant, passion vine, blueberry and Egyptian spinach i use a 45 precent shade cloth and water everyday and am happy to say now i have a jungle of my own growing in that bed 😅 however at my house I have, purple broccoli, mulberry, Marisol Chile pepper, Roma and Goliath bush tomato, asparagus, lavender, Buddhas hand, Mexican huckleberry, strawberry, raspberry, dwarf fig tree, San Pedro cactus, pomegranate ,basil, goji berry, grapes and dragon fruit
John I saw you in Los Angeles at the certified plant growers nursery. I was too shy to say hi. but I can’t wait to see the video you were recording . I been checking everyday to see if it’s out yet 🎉
Impressive oasis of green in the desert. 120F is no joke. Lived in a place where it hit 110F for one week during the summer & that would just destroy the garden. You might try Thai peppers for the heat. There's a "Milder" version out there. Maybe Kitazawa seed company had it a few years back. I'm in a high temp (not 120 😂) & high humidity area & the Thai peppers just keep producing.
So many edible greens, I need seeds for all of these. We get a different heat here in Grand Bay, AL with humidity factored in it is just as brutal. I bet these would do fantastic here and make amazing additions to my food forest.
I love fresh vegetables and fruits home grown grown in good organic soil lots of compost I lived in the outback of Australia it was over 50 degrees Celsius im shore thats at least 120 farinhite I learnt only sprinkle water on my plants don't soak the ground as you will cook the roots heavy watering is just dangerous for your roots the United nation said we had the hottest couple of days in the world it was really horrible if you had to work like me out in the paddock with no shade I watered some of my garden to much and cooked the roots next year it was the same but I new better then to soak my soil just mist your leaves
Nice! Regarding your Habenaro peppers: I had poor results growing heirlooms this year. Only planted one kind of each yet only one kind out of 6 grew as seed packet said. The rest were obviously crosses and many not really edible. I'll be sticking to hybrids next year.
I do a garden club at the senior center every month. The first thing we planted this year was spoon tomatoes. Those ladies have been super excited to plant with me ever since 💜 all year I've heard about how delicious those little tomatoes are and they will call me just to make sure I'm actually coming when scheduled lol. We plant something different every month. It's very rewarding, even if they don't use me as their Medicare agent during AEP, I've been having a blast lol
In the early 90’s maybe, in El Paso Texas we had over 90 consecutive days of 120 degrees and above, it was so hot and dry, the scorpions came out of the desert into the city looking for food and water. What a mess, it was h.o.t. Hot! Edit; the scorpions ate All the mice and cockroaches in the city, All of them, not exaggerating one bit.

Damn! your neighbour house is completely desert 😰 I got inspired to make such a house ( I mean your house not your neighbour's 🤣) 💘❤❤❤
I purchased organic chive onions and cut about 2 inches from the root and planted them in soil. The size of them are so huge now. Probably 6 to 7 times the size they were when I initially bought them. Plus new spouts keep coming up out of the bulb. I tried planting what was left over of a stock of celery.

Lovely Nevada jungle 😍🤩🎉 Beautiful to see than every place in the world can become green! 🍀🍀🍀💚💚💚🌱🌿🌲🌳🌴🌵🪴
If more people start covering their yards with this density of vegetation then it will cause a major shift in the weather. More rain and clouds. Cooler temperatures. Good work!
I have some garlic chives on their second year. I'm in Phoenix. They are huge and when you cut them they drip. Really tasty. They are in a pot.
Thank you John for sharing your garden. Love your inspiring episode, stay cool and keep up with the garden :)
Wonderful garden, I love purslane.
John, it's nice to look at you. The garden is green and vitamin-rich. Health and inspiration to you. Cool.
Thanks. I grew Egyptian spinach this year too and have enjoyed it all summer.
Cucumber Shop has an awesome UA-cam Channel about the rare cucumbers as well
Congrats on them surviving that extreme sun/heat .
I had the CC turned on to try and get the names of these plants since I live in SE Coastal US and my climate should be perfect. Instead the CC was hilarious attempting the names of the plants as you identified them.
So I decided to click on 'more'. Thanks for including all these plants in your write up about this episode. I've grown the malabar spinach and can't wait to try the others.
Nice sharing Vidio.. very inspiring and useful ❤❤

Oh thank you for teaching me about cooking roots! I think this may have happened to me.
Try the Egyptian recipes for molokhia (Egyptian spinach). You won't regret it.
John, try growing Everglades tomatoes if you haven’t already. ❤
Very, very inspiring thank you for sharing, you have and awesome garden.
How do you organically keep pests or animals from tampering the growths. I admire your green thumb gift. Blessings 🎉
Look at nature does nature only grow monoculture or does it grow diversity?
Eat them. This discourages them from returning.
Use/introduce beneficial insects
Companion planting. Plant some lavender chamomile and basil maybe some catnip
Nice! Regarding your Habenaro peppers: I had poor results growing heirlooms this year. Only planted one kind of each yet only one kind out of 6 grew as seed packet said. The rest were obviously crosses and many not really edible. I'll be sticking to hybrids next year.
Heavenly ❤ love it all!
Love your content man thank you very much
How much water does your garden require?
You're the man
Can you please post videos about how to grow truffles?
Incrível 😊
Pepper leaf basil
you're the crazy vegas neighbor!
Nice channel... Could you review the OTO sprinkler?
Thanks for videos on gardening. Question, when shading tomato garden is it best to shade over top or top and sides?
Spoon 🥄 Tomatoes 🍅

Cover crops? I’m trying to find where you talk about cover crops in the mega heat.
thank you i live in AZ is hot
Hala ... pain ... yos!
What temperature do dragon fruit burn at? My are turning yellow
I see your irrigation system
Water duration, and how many days out of 7 were used would of been most helpful🤔
Whats your water bill?
Are all your plants in pots?
why no 4k?
Hi
Keep growing good food for your self and for bartering.
Remember, Christ Jesus is coming soon.
