Time to Relax • Vegetable Garden it's ...
The Grandfather of UA-cam gardening has passed away, leaving behind an amazing legacy. Millions of people around the world are better off because of the efforts of Donald Ducote, aka Webcajun. He will be dearly missed.
As a recovering alcoholic, I find gardening to be part of the recovery. And you and Donald were the ones that brought me to gardening. I thank you both. In so many ways.
Rest in peace Donald. The two of you taught me everything I I know about gardening. Bobby, we need you more now than ever. Please keep uploading!
I ran across webcajun and immediately I posted and likened him to Hoss Cartwright. He replied that was a compliment what a guy always thought I might meet him someday
Beautiful tribute. Donald was supreme.
We need new content my brother please upload
Don was one of the folks that got me thinking about doing a UA-cam Channel.
I always looked forward to seeing what he was doing.
He will be missed.
RIP Big Guy.
TexasPrepper2 yes he will be
You, Bobby and Donald are my favorites.
@TexasPrepper2 You to are on a par with these guys to.....! Thank you for what you do as well!
He will be missed ☹️ He was one of the first channels I subscribed to almost 10 years ago. RIP Donald 🙏🕊️
Donald was the very first gardener I subscribed to a decade ago. I learned from him and enjoyed his company. He was a truly decent kind person.
. . . Many of us enjoy your site as well Praxxus, keep on growing. :)
That was beautiful Bobby. I attended all but one of the gatherings with the bayou gardener. We all hoped every year you would attend. I don't think Donald realized how far his video's reached. We actually had someone attend who came all the way from Austrailia. It turned out to be the last gathering Donald and his family attended. We all became family through Donald and Mary. They were the most kind, giving, loving, generous, and happy people you've ever met. Even his son and daughter were open and receptive. Mary passsed away March 2. You are going to have to continue making gardening video's. Someone needs to carry the torch.
Watched, and learned, from several of Donald's videos. Keep your gardening efforts going, and improve the environment for future generations.
You know, people on here feel that way about you. Think about that and believe it.
Absolutely right
Believe it
Tony Harrell yes, I agree...
Damn right
100%
I just came across this about Donald. I haven't seen or heard from him in a while so I decided to see where he has been and saw this. I used to chat with him weekly. I even sent him pictures of our newborn son back in 2011 and he always responded with kind words and always wanted more pictures of him. He was always very helpful to my gardening questions and I also regret not getting a chance to go visit him. He always welcomed anyone. Thank you for your kind words and memories of him.
Donald was an amazing person, he will be missed. Thanks for sharing some of the memories with us Bobby!
Bobby... Donald knew you loved him, and he looks down on ya now... Probably sit'n on his Kabota... Crunching on on a fresh picked Candy onion... RIP Donald ! And we hope healing finds you quickly too Bobby... Know he would never wish to see you shed a tear... But for today, we can be jealous of the angels, as they welcome him to the foot of the throne of our Father... Sir Donald will have some beautiful gardens to tend now, surely... Hang in there Bobby, and we'll see ya in the next one !
I'm so saddened to hear of Don's passing. When I was gardening, I learned so much from him. I'm just a country boy who grew up on a farm and forgot what I learned growing up. His videos were inspirational and reeducated me on what my dad taught me. I'm saddened of his passing as farming or gardening is a dying art. Prayers!
Lache Pas Donald.. Until we see you again. This breaks my heart
Guess this goes for many of us.
Similar to the words you shared about Donald, your channel was my first subscription on UA-cam. You were my resource and inspiration many years ago on gardening and life. Because of you, Webcajun was my second. Years later, my wife & I found a property to call home in Texas where we created a large vegetable garden with chickens/ducks/geese. Thank you for sharing your experience, knowledge and wisdom ... inspiring us for something great.
The child/student only grows up when their parents/mentor passes. Donald did the work he was supposed to do. MHP you are now the mentor. We love you💖!
Looking back, it was Don's big garden/small farm, and his pure enjoyment of it, that made me realize that I wanted to go bigger. I keep going back to his channel, loving how he did the onions, and the tricks he used for his tomatoes.
Donald was a solid human being, who showed his love for his garden, family, and friends. What a warm person. Easy to watch, easy to like, easy to understand. I dreaded the day I would hear he had passed. We lost a legend, as MHP said. I too would've loved to have met him.
Bobby, Yep, I watched Webcajun but I watched you more when I first discovered UA-cam. And I watched imstillworkin and all the canning she does. You mention wishing you had gone down to Donald's place and many of us feel the same about you. I am now 80 years old and we know what that means. I am happy, even though the circumstances are sad, to see you here again. Please drop by here on UA-cam occasionally. Thanks for making this video.

Thank you for sharing this news. Makes me so sad. I loved watching him. A great legend indeed. RIP Donald.
RIP Webcajun and thank you Mr. Bobby for all you do for the UA-cam gardening/hydroponic community!
Noooooo! Donald and you have been my go-to people for advice and inspiration. I watch his DVD series each spring before I plant. Thank you Donald. And, thank you Bobby. I owe you both so much. I hope to shake your hand one day. Hopefully I won't have to say "I could kick my ass for not going over there." Thanks for popping a top in salute to one of my heroes. God Bless, Vivian Ann on the side of the mountain in northeast Tennessee
Bobby.....Donald thought the world of you as did all of us. Thank You for this tribute and keep up the legacy!. As for you Big D......well.......thank you sir. You were more than just a friend too all of us and I will miss you.
I too was born in 1955, not far from where you live. I learned about growing things from my dad who when he was very young worked for a florist. Back in those days they grew there own flowers and plants and my dad learned way more than I will ever know about growing things. He tended many gardens with my help from a very early age. I picked a many of snaps and butterbeans and pulled a whole pile of weeds. The time and effort that you and Donald put into sharing your knowledge is the only way most people now days will ever learn how to be somewhat self sufficient. I’m so sorry to hear of webcajun passing and can’t think of anyone more sincere than yourself to pick up the torch and keep helping people to learn about the art of raising your own garden. Best wishes from a old Jarrett boy.
Can't believe it. What a loss. All of us UA-camrs who garden owe him a debt of gratitude. Donald wasn't the only one who had faith in you. I wish I knew how many times I've watched his compost tea video. Lache pas!
I know this video was made a year ago, but I just found d you and seen this. Donald was a mentor for me. I found his videos and watched every single one. Even wrote him on occasion for help and he replied. I grew up to know what I needed to do garden wise and didn’t go looking for videos and I kinda lost track of Donald. This saddens me to hear this. He was truly a sweet caring soul. He is missed ❤️
Donald is the reason I started gardening and I patterned my gardening style from his.
What a perfect tribute!! Back in the mid to late 2000’s Donald’s videos and the forum was the best down to earth gardening information you could find on the internet. A thank you goes out to him and all the wonderful people that were part of that group. A special thanks to Donald for having the vision, passion and the courage for all his postings. I’m sure he inspired countless number of people in their gardening journey. (Cgull)
Was tilling my garden spot 2 days ago with the tractor and thought about him the whole time and how much he’s taught me over the years.
Please grab the torch from Donald and make some more magic for us mphg !!! I miss your videos a LOT!!! That was a beautiful elegy, cheers !!
I loved Donald. Missed him. We talked about airplanes and gardening. He’s in a better place. Love your stuff too God Bless
Donald’s channel was the first UA-cam channel I ever subscribed to......missing him, and you too.
Come on back!
He was one of the first I started watching on UA-cam and you were the second one. I hope you continue because growing you're on food is going to be the most important thing anyone can know how to do in the next coming years. I hope your wife continues with her food preserving videos also. Hardly anybody knows how to preserve food nowadays and it is going to cost them there lives if they don't learn soon.
I was a friend of his for years and then things got busy. I finally go back and look him up and find this.
A star has passed. He helped me so much with advice and seed exchanges.
So sorry to see such a man and his wife pass.
Nothing can convey it.
Well said. I live in south Louisiana also and as gardeners we all know that every region has its own challenges and Donald was my “go to” on UA-cam. His simple but detailed explanations of topics taught me so much more than technique. I concur with many other viewers here that you have the same approach so keep it up Bobby. Donald had a joie de vivre and he shared it with all. We should all be grateful, I know I am.
Very sad, I watched him for several years and haven't thought about his videos since he stopped posting two years ago. Until this spring when I watched some of his videos when planting this years crop, and I wanna say he was a legend gardener. RIP Donald "webcajun" Ducote, and may the seeds that was planted grow for many years.
Just found this page lookin for some Old videos of Cajun Web that used to watch Years ago!! Just now finding out about his passing.....Thank You for posting and he knew you and other people loved him....RIP ....Maush Pau!!
I learned a lot from Donald as well from you Bobby, he will be greatly missed. I'm sure he would enjoy you're eulogy honoring him. When ever he uploaded a new video I couldn't wait to watch it. Donald was the Justin Wilson of the gardening world. Thank-you.
You’re shaking his hand and giving him a a Big HUG right now!!! Thanks for posting!!
May God have the greatest garden. Big D was the same age as my husband. God bless.
GREAT tribute to a great guy! God bless you all. Carry on,
Awesome Bobby you know he’s smiling somewhere with his beautiful wife 👍🍻 TO DONALD!!
He was one of the first ones I watched and loved his channel. He was the one that led me to your channel. I will miss him making gardening videos. God bless. Whos gonna fill there shoes is right.
Sad day.
That is so sad. I subscribed to his channel back in the very early days from New Zealand. He taught me so much and was a joy to watch. He will be greatly missed.
it’s amazing how a social media platform brings people together, people that might never meet. but we feel that we are neighbors or family or best friends. these channels that my family follow and watch daily are us catching up with one another. after all these years we still wait and follow your channel because you are a leader and inspiration to us. please carry on the guidance and humor of webcajun. he made me feel calm and not get caught up in so much complexities and not to rush and cause mistakes. rip donald. thanks bobby for everything
Thank you and we have missed you too. Keep up the great inspiring work that you do.
Wow! Thank you for this video. I now have tears trying to write this. I wondered what happen to him I watched every video of his. But the last two years have been hard for me. Not many videos. My husband had cancer and we had to say goodbye this April. So this is hard for me. Well done 👍 I feel the pain.
Thank you very much for this video. I followed him ,he will be missed. I have also been missing your videos. You are an inspiration to me , a 62 year old who started gardening because of you. Soo sorry!
Bobby you're so special. What a blessing to know men like you exist on Mother Earth!
Amen! I learned a lot from Don and his videos. He is the reason I got the Stevens Tractor Hiller for my garden use. - take care! - Tom
I had thought I had watched almost all the gardening videos on youtube but I had actually never heard of him. To me your are the original gardener so I appreciate that he inspired you to make all the great videos you have and inspired me.
He was an awesome man. I loved his videos. Rest in peace Mr. Donald.
RIP Donald. You were an inspiration to a lot of gardeners.
My heart breaks that he has passed. He was such a help to me and so many. I, like you, wish I had taken his invitation to come by and visit with him during my many trips to south Louisiana. May he Rest In Peace.
Thank You for sharing.
*shock* Lasche Pas, Donald - til we all meet again up in the new Garden of Eden.
So Donald has passed the UA-cam Gardening torch to you, Bobby. We hope you continue to make vids every season of your gardens like you and Donald have, try out a new veggie variety or two each season, and mentor new generations of new gardeners. We appreciate you and your gardening passion!
What a way to leave a legacy... His teachings will live on forever...
I’d never heard of him. Condolences and prayers to his family and friends. Heartfelt tribute to your friend here mhpgardner, much respect.
So sorry to hear about WebCajun. I loved his informative videos.
Very sad to hear of his passing. Twas a joy seeing him & learning from him. Thank you for letting us know. Thanks for sharing your memories. RIP WebCajun. *Hugs*.
Another that i greatly miss was whendashtf. And others now gone.
Bobby ,Donald turned me onto your channel .You're right, he was one of the good guys . RIP Donald .
Having not seen any mph gardener videos for a long time I assumed you were through. Hoping you were enjoying life with your new bride. Then this video pops up and after I get over being choked up I go look at your channel and WHOOPPEE-you’re back. So glad to see you back. Now you said that you were sorry that you’d never gone down to visit webcajun. I’d like to shake your hand one day soon as you have provided me with such help and inspiration.
My condolences to Donald's family. I learned a great deal from him and the others on the forum that he created. The world is a darker place with his passing.
thank you mhp. i was just looking to see if cajun had posted any new videos, and i saw you, 6 months late. thank u both, for my own gardening endeavors
We were all blessed to have him and are blessed to have you and Susan...
Watching yours and his videos changed my view point and how I will live my life. Started gardening teaching my kids, looking for more land, seen the things you did for other people and then noticed you played around in real estate. All things that I am now working on. True disappointment to hear about Donald. Missed both of halls videos for much of the last year plus. I can’t explain the excitement when I seen you were posting videos again. You may not fill them but I hope you carry on! Gotta love VA!
What a nice from the heart tribute.The Lord puts people in our lives to mentor us and he surely was one. I'll bet one of his wishes is that one person prospered from his videos and I am one. Not monetarily but knowledge. I have often wanted to find your location and just stop and talk awhile. I hope you carry on and pass on what you've learned and I'm sure he will be smiling. Rest in peace Donald .
Oh no. So sad. I know he was ill. Absolutely loved his videos. Great man! May he garden in Heaven.... Much love and condolences to his family.
WebCajun was the founding father of gardening. I always loved his videos. Great man and a legend!
Oh no, I just started watching last week, March 2021. I'm so sorry to hear this...love his videos.
sorry you lost a good friend bobby, my heartfelt sympathies keep up the good work and you did a great job paying homage to him may god keep blessing you and please carry on you keep me motivated at 57 yrs old
Awe! I have missed his videos. May God comfort his family!
I learned so much from Donald and the group on the forum. I’m so saddened to hear of his passing. It always felt like I knew him just from watching the videos. I too kick myself for not attending one of his get togethers.
Thanks for letting us know about webcajun.
Rest in peace Donald I have been watching his Channel for 10-15 years it seems.
WEBCAJUN REST WELL !! Your the greatest!!!
If my garden could be half as well organized, productive and beautiful as this gentleman's was, I would be a very happy gardener. Thank you Donald for the excellent videos and a glimpse at what a great garden looks like.
A very touching tribute. Some day you'll get to shake his hand on the other side. God Bless
I Can tell your really feeling the loss Bobby! Donald was the man when it came to gardening! I am on his website but this is the first I've heard of his passing. I know he hadn't been in the site much after the passing of Mary. It goes to show you can die of a broken heart. RIP Donald!!!
RIP Donald, I used to love watching your videos and I found that your voice was a long lost Grandpa reading a bedtime story to me prior to me going to sleep.
Cool Guy. He got me into gardening. Now got 2 supers, 2 patches, and made pea sheller.
Just saw him for the first time, didn’t know he’d passed. RIP
We shared the exact same birthday same year also
I was pretty sad when ol dragonfly passed, really tore up thinking big D passed. Hope it was peaceful, and his family is coping well. He really created a great series of videos, and a great forum for gardeners all over the world. Thanks Bobby, for posting this. I came to find out you and Susan's channels from BayouGardener forum.
He always answered my many questions on UA-cam. I still rewatch his videos to get inspiration I missed. He will be missed.
I found his videos because of you, and loved his videos
Well said, heartfelt tribute. Nicely done.
Ok Bobby, now you have to carry on where he left off!!!
Rip Don he has helped me alot I even bought the okra he grows called cow horn I even have the cantaloup and Hungarian hot wax peppers he loved so much
I started watching Donald videos about 10 years ago when I got back into gardening as a younger adult. I looked forward to each one of his new videos, and once in a while I'll go back and re-watch these videos and it will take me back to that point in my life 10 years ago. I had sent him my current YT profile picture to show him my garden, he responded and said I had a nice setup, I was very proud that Donald told me that. I still enjoy his videos and hopefully they will remain up on UA-cam. We all learned from Donald, and one way or the other wanted to be like him or do what he's doing. In fact Bobby, I found your Channel through Donald many years ago as well. Thank you webcajun for all your help over the years.
A beautiful tribute to a legend!
RIP, Web Cajun was my very first door opening into gardening videos on You Tube. I'm so sorry, I will miss him dearly. He taught me everything I know about gardening. Thank you for letting us know about this.
Kind words from a good friend to a great man. Keep educating like he did, we love you Like we loved him. Never stop sharing your great talent to make things grow!
I loved the Webcajuns videos and I’m vert sorry to hear of his passing. He was a inspiration to all gardeners young and old and he will be missed. God bless and RIP Donald.
I fit weren't for YOU and DONALD, my outdoor hydroponic garden wouldn't be the JUNGLE it is! Thanks to both of you!
I feel like I have just been kicked in the gut. I sit here trying to type this through tears and think how that sweet soul helped me find myself many years ago. I was in Iraq and had just had a real bad time and knew I wanted to get back to where I came from and was looking for information on growing...something...anything... and ran across Donald's videos...Him talking about how and why he did things and the gentle peace he exuded gave me direction and it was kinda like he was saying to me "It's gonna be alright.".
I never met the man, and I will carry that regret for the rest of my days, but I hope he knows how much he meant to us and how thankful we are for the gift he gave us.
Rest in peace Donald I will see you on the other side of the river.
I watched all his video and yours about 2 years ago and it got me back into gardening. His personality reminded me of my father and he even looked a bit like Dad. I have missed his and your videos. Carry on the tradition Bobby. Keep that torch burning.
I've watched you and Donald, both of you have been a blessing to many, many gardeners. We loved Donald, and you, Bobby
Thanks for the nice tribute to Donald. I enjoyed his videos, too.
Another great youtube gardener that I miss is navajopa31. I know he had a stroke a couple years ago, and there has been no more videos or updates.
I hope you will do an occasional gardening video in the future. Really miss them. You are the first gardening channel that I subscribed to years ago. And I'm sure I've watched every one of your videos. Thanks so much.
Mr. Donald was the sweetest man I never met. He always answered my questions and encouraged me in the smallest endeavors. Thank you for your sweet tribute to him. LACHE PAS!
He was the first farmer on UA-cam that got me back to gardening. RIP Sir.
UA-cam in 2019 lost another gardening legend. 2 of the youtube gardeners that I have followed this year. Larry Hall from rain gutter gardening fame and now Webcajun, both way to young. Thank you Bobby for your heartfelt tribute.
Glad you posted this I hadn’t heard. He was an inspiration for sure. Take it easy Bobby I appreciate your videos too.
