This brother is just awesome ... ive literally watched lots of these videos to ease my depression. Thank you!
Moringa tree produces vegetable called "drumsticks" in India. Used in N number of Indian dishes. To allow tree to produce drumstick vegetable we should not harvest leaves until they develop flowers and then they grow into vegetable. Those white flowers of moringa tree is also edible. Moringa leaves, drumstick and flowers are rich in Minerals ans vitamins specifically rich in Iron.
Thankyou so much!!! I got the dwarf version and I have been trying to grow it (not entirely successfully so far, lol) and this is super helpful!!!
I just received my little tree yesterday. Any suggestions on to up pot or plant in ground. It’s rather small and leggy right now
One of the best channels on UA-cam, always amazing content!
John, I grow Moringa Trees in San Antonio, Tx. The only thing you need to do to winterize them is cut the stem down to the ground and put mulch over them. They'll come back up in the spring from the same root.
How about ones grown in containers? Im in Houston just potted my Moringa and i dont want to lose him when it gets cool.
That's a good question. I haven't tried to overwinter Moringa Trees in pots before. I imagine if you put them in a greenhouse or inside your house right before it freezes you should do fine. I've noticed that once it dips below 40 they start dying back, but the root still remains active. Please let me know your results!
Noted .... about how long do they take to root and sprout ? Mines are in 1 gallon grow bags, i bought them as 5inch bare sticks with nodes on them . They have now been planted for 3weeks and i see nodes on both of them making little foliage. Do i fertilize or leave alone ? I fertilize with fish emulsion and osmocote btw..
Aisha Gooden I planted mine from seed about 5 weeks ago and they're barely 5 inches tall. Once the root system gets established and it gets hotter they really take off. I planted a seed on July 7th last year and the tree was 16ft tall when I cut it down in mid December! They will grow! Just give them time to get established.
Also, they don't like to be over watered. If you see the bottom leaves turn yellow stop watering for a little bit.
I'm in Central TX and this year I'm growing all of those because of John. Thanks, guy!
“Wow that’s some nice impressive girth!”
😂
Looks great! My favorite greens this summer here in Central Florida have been sweet potato vine leaves and Roselle hibiscus leaves. Both can be eaten raw or lightly sauteed. I highly recommend these versatile plants as it has several uses, taste great, and were super easy to grow.
Thank you! I'm in Houston and I've never heard of most of these. I'm excited to grow these next year! 🌱
Am totally sold! Thanks for another eye-opener. When you start crunching I start clicking - awesome.
JRN Nursery is great, and I always stop by when going through North Houston. Caldwell Nursery in Rosenberg has a great selection as well, including yacon and several types of moringa. In central Houston, Wabash will have a great selection, as well as Buchanans. For good supplies on soils and minerals, there is Southwest Fertilizer in southwest Houston (they have a good selection of herbs too most times)
JRN2 on the SW side will blow your mind!
AND THEN SMOKE IT!!!!! ahhhhhhhhhhh haha thats why i love you brother john
This one is the best more than the green. from West Africa and this color is the best.
The moringa tree is providing needed shade, which helps the shorter plants thrive in spite of the intense sun and heat. It's much more attractive than the usual shade cloth. I might try this. Lovely garden!
texas is actually the driest of the dry plains states. up here in north texas rainfall is sparse and it is a little dry, soil is silt and clay. you can keep tropical stuff alive by all means but not easily
Thanks for the Texas update. I have family there, and I send them your Houston videos to show them different plants they can grow there. Have a great day!
Those look good but I find amaranth is pretty fantastic as well and very easy to grow.
I'm growing red amaranth in Central Texas and it's growing fast, but I'm having issues with some kind of pest chewing holes in the leaves. Malabar spinach does so much better as it seems to be resistant to this pest.
I am sure I could grow some of those. I am in Texas just hours from Mexico. I keep trying to grow avocado without much luck but persistence will pay off eventually. :) Going to try growing rambutan from seed here shortly. - Heidi
Heidi BlackCart2, I would like to know where you get the Rambutan.? Is it a seed that you planted?
I went to JRN and really enjoyed growing some of your recommendations! I plan on adding more varieties from your list next year. Thanks for all thay you do!
They have a beautiful yard and garden. Thanks
Cheers for the update . Loe spinach looks great :)
Those Malabar Spinach leaves were huge! Beautiful use of edible plants. I just ordered some tree collard and Red Stem Egyptian Spinach from GYG. I can't wait to add them to my new garden. (no rush though, they'll get here when they get here) Thank you for sharing so much useful information, and such beneficial seeds!
In Georgia where we farm Red Russian Kale often makes it through the heat of summer!
I knew I liked that look in your eyes haha you're cool! Not enough words to express my appreciation to you I watched about 10 of your videos now. I am in Mansfield Texas. Abundant blessings of prosperity in all your doing and all the people you help empower!!!
It's not the Egyptian spinach, but same genus. We grow a lot in Southeast Asia for soup and salad. The fruit is not edible, only stern and leaves are. I live in Houston too and grow a lot of this. You can have several batch of this in one year since it's very good at self seeding. I can send you a bunch of their seed in exchange to moringa stern :))
What is the latin name of that plant?
franklin turcios Thank you
Wow you are my savior! Being New here in Houston Tx., I love to grow my own veggies but I don't have any idea what exactly to plant during summertime here. This video will be a big help for me. Thank you sooooo much. I planted some Bok Choy & some greens in April and they just died
I always learn sth from you John. I am constantly looking for new greens varieties. Next year definitely I will try to grow Egyptian spinach and frost protect some of my plants like Chinese spinach and malabar so that I can save them for next season. Thank you, so informative.
I root for you!!!!!
Keep on creating such videos and sharing this amazing knowledge
I love my red Malabar spinach and everybody I've introduced it to loves it too! It re seeds prolifically here in North Carolina Zone 7B
Cool video! Thank you.
If you are around kingwood I recommend Warrens rock and Mulch off hwy 59 in Porter TX they specialize in mixing soil .
Thank you for sharing. This is very helpful to me since I live near Houston.
Nicest Malabar spinach I've seen. I live in Hilo Hawaii and I've seen this spinach quite a bit but not as nice as this one! Awesome!!
Thanks John..I live in Houston, am lazy and need some summer greens that like it here.
Love your episodes, great info. We will be ordering seeds for the Egyptian Spinach for the family here in San Antonio.
Hi John, In Vietnamese cuisine, We often eat that kind of "Egyptian Spinach" which we call them "Rau đay". We cook that vegetable with malabar spinach.
Great Job, John! Really enjoy your videos! Thanks.
Hello. I love your videos I always watching you and your videos!
I love malavar spinach, moringa, and lemon grass on my fish soup Jon.
John, will you write down the name of the plants you talked about? I don't know the names and would like to try to grow some of them. I live in zone 6b and have a green house and also turned my garage into a winter plant storage with grow lights
wow, that Malabar Spinach is amazing. Good testimony to your gardening advice.
I'd love some of those seeds! I have some Egyptian spinach but not that kind. I live in Phoenix so they'd grow well here. :)
Hey John, in the last few years, have you found the time to translate the name of the plant at @7:13 ??? Could you give us the Vietnamese name and we can Google it? I'm sure it's worth a Google.
Yes please do updates from Houston!
Thank you for this wonderful info.
That is a great moringa tree. Unfortunately, my two moringas died when i snowed in San Antonio.
Thanks, great video. I wold love to try Malabar spinach. Scott12 is right about shiso. I have 2 varieties, one a purple leaf, the other green on top and the bottom of the leaf is purple. It grows everywhere. If it's where I don't want it, I harvest it root and all when it's about 4-6 inches. You can throw the leaves in rice to add nutrition and flavor.
WILL ANY OF THESE PLANTS/TREES GROW UP NORTH IN PA?? DEFF WANT TO TRY GROWING SOME OF THIS NEXT YEAR!!
Great vídeo as usual, can you plz do a vídeo about Zone 8 plants de can grow !!! Thanx a lot from a very small town in the middle of Argentina. Love your vídeos ❤💙💚💛💜
and tell if the plants are annual or perennial. For example the long leaf spinach....and best ways to propagate
well anywhere in North Houston it's worth the drive, I do landscaping in the area.
JRN has a second location on the SW side, JRN2 that makes the NS location look small.
John you are only an amazing teacher but hilarious! I really learn a lot and enjoy your videos. Thank you!
i'm really thankfull
Dear John. I want to give 2 point of feedback. 1. I have never recieved my GYG-t-shirt here in The Netherlands. Could you maybe point me to the right place where I can ask questions about where it could have gone? 2. I would like to see different subjects. I feel that 'leafy greens for hot climates' has been discussed extensively, and it would be more challenging for you to investigate other climates and things outside of your comfort zone. 'Top 5 vegetables resistant to excessive watering' or Top 5 leafy greens for colder climates' would be more up my alley. Ofcourse, you already stated you live in hot climate so that's where you're expertise is, but the value of your channel can grow by informing and helping all people in all geographical areas of the world. With warm wishes, Me.
1) All Shirts have been shipped. Please contact www.compassion-tees.com/ for support
2) I live and travel mostly in hot climates. So these are the topics I know most about. Of course, watch my winter videos for topics/varieties for growing in the cold/winter/rainy season. When I travel I strive to show other gardeners and plants that will thrive in those areas. I would encourage ALL my viewers to start making videos to share what grows well in your climate, so others can learn from your experiences, as that is simply what I share on my channel. We are all needed to educate others and make this planet a better place.
John, I just checked his channel and he does have vids! They're in Dutch but that's only more incentive for you to fly to Holland and shoot a tour of the Biotuin!
them new greens....
I live in Houston , welcome bro .
Some ornamentals (e.g. marigold) has a practical purpose in the veggie garden - bug control.
Can you make an episode on how to grow old seeds
Dude, please add the spelling for the unfamiliar plants to your description below the video.
malabar spinach i have some in my garden
When do you plant the seeds ? Also do you recommend direct sowing? Thanks so much!!
hello John hey ..I'm setting up my garden for spring in south florida and I will like if you can recommend me 3 best and most nutritional spinach to grow here thank you
Egyptian spinach is Corchorus olitorius. There is an Asian variety in the Corchorus genus called Corchorus capsularis that looks a bit like your unknown Egyptian spinach.
saluyot aka egyptian spinach, grows wildly in the philippines
Do you sell your yacon, oca, or Chinese Artichoke . I've looked all over, cant find any. Great videos. Love your garden.
could you please give the names of each plant in order? i would really appreciate it 😊
John,
What's up dude! Thanks for all the great videos. I love gardening, but move a lot so I have to restart my gardens every few years. I would love any recommendations you might have for the Dallas, TX area (bulk soil, minerals, plant starts, etc.). I'll be moving there in January. Anyway, thanks in advance for the help.
I'm definitely building a hugelkultur with some sweet guilds next year, and Malabar spinach is also at the top of my list. Keep up the positive attitude and gardening tips!
Grow your greens; love your soil!
Pat
P.S.: check your FB page for a photo of my homemade, box style hugel bed from last year, before it got overgrown.
Impressive girth 🤣🤣🤣
Isn't the katuk leaves slightly poisonous when eaten raw? i remember reading it online where it was mentioned that it was bad for lungs when eaten raw. Otherwise fine to consume it cooked. We here in Malaysia eat it a lot but always cooked.
yogendra kumar selvadurai www.eattheweeds.com/edible-katuk-sauropus-androgynus-2/
and smoke it ..hahaha
John what would be a good soil here in the st.louis mo area
hi john....could you identify a plant for me? It's driving me crazy , i can't find anything like it on the internet...I thought it might be a pear but pear plants i've seen online do not look like it...I tried an app that identifies plants but it doesn't identify properly, not even an apple...
hello friend good video very interesting ... maybe you have some friends who live in Austin, I live there and I would like to get organic seeds besides I have good seeds to exchange
Thanks for mentioning that egyptian spinach is Jute. I actually had already added Jute to my list of seeds to order but had no idea it was also called egyptian spinach.
Thanks for the video! It is very helpful but I also cannot understand the names of the plants.... the written names would be appreciated
Keep up the great work John. @ 4:09, I was waiting for a dirty joke. I guess you toned down a bit huh?
Well in the cold season, it could be dug up and moved. It should be smaller then.
Nice plants, sup with that hair tho
There's a dish in Middle Eastern culture called mulukhiya, or lukhiya (what I grew up calling it)
mountaintopchef.blogspot.com/2016/01/Mulukhiyah.html?m= , my father would make, but I never knew it's other name was Egyptian spinach, honestly one of my favorite dishes, gotta like the somewhat slimy soupy texture it becomes tho. I'm excited, going to order these seeds didn't know I could be growing this so easily in my region of Texas!
I tried Moringa twice.. both times my body rejected (ejected) it. Is this common? I have 5 trees and I dried 3 cups and made into powder. I am afraid to try it again. I only used 1/4 t. in a smoothie. The first time I used about 6 or 8 fresh leaves on a salad.
North to Hope ~I bought moringa powder, but really hated the taste. I used it all, but probably will never grow it or buy it again!
I'm having trouble understanding from the video the names of some of these plants.
Where you at in houston sir?
you shouldn't just top trees it makes them make those quick shots to quickly get light but the shoots are very weak (good if you want to clone though)
I could not get my Malabar spinach to sprout from the seeds I saved last year! Do you store the seeds in the freezer? The seeds were very dry, and I think the moisture inside them evaporated. I will put mine in the freezer this year, unless you have another idea. I had to scramble to order seeds.
Actually you can use the mature stem of Malabar spinach to propagate and its easy to grow.
Thanks! I don't know what happened that year to the seed, but the seeds that were left on the vines last year have all sprouted in the ground and I should have a great crop this year! I'm in New Jersey where winters are pretty cold too.
I don't have seeds of it but I saw one time in Asian market a bunch of it and I used the stem and John is right the red stem taste much better than the green. In my country we planted the mature stem, I now live in TX. Happy planting!
Will you be selling these on your website?
Smoke it seems like a better idea 😂💀
Closed captions please...
I believe you can contribute captions
“Another good one is this thing Man, look at this, I wanna show you guys this. It looks good out front. Ok moving on to florida. Bla bla bla”. Dude what the heck are the names?!🤣😂
Malabar doobie. Ha. Organic and non gmo hahah your freaking awesome bro. Ha
Please, put caption on your vídeo!!
Anyone LIKE raw malabar spinach? I can't stand either the green or the purple variety. Also, eating them raw used to give me a headache. I quit eating it when I realized it was giving me a headache!
