When I save the seeds I sow from the ones that are the biggest, longest and sweetest of them all. You can save the seeds and eat the carrots at the same time as long as you save the tops and root them in moist soil. :)
You've got that random ass sense of humor, i love it
It was literally so random😂😂😂😂😂😂
Hey John , I've seen a few of your videos in the past, maybe one or two. But never gave them much attention. But I've been checking a lot of them out the last week or so and I just wanna tell you, you're awesome. I'm very grateful for the insight you've provided. And you're doing a wonderful job. Thank you so much and I'm looking forward to your new videos. Keep up the great work sir and may blessings be abundant upon you.
I also grow purple carrots (pusa asita) in Las Vegas. I grow it as a fall/winter crop sowing it during monsoon season.
Years ago my mother would tell me save your seeds, so that is what I've been doing for years. So everything you are talking about makes so much sense. Love your videos👍
Hello John! Thank you for another amazing update. 🥕💚 Wishing you a beautiful evening x) 🦋
great vid, thanks for the info on purple carrots!!!!
Thank you for your learning 🙏
Good to see John still inspiring. One of, if not, the most inspiring series of channels on UA-cam. For better life, health, vitality. Extremely positive. I am convinced God will bless this man for his service to nutritional healing.
Thanks for the awesome informative video! I'm a huge fan and tell all my friends about your work.
Nice, love the info thanks so much for the time you spend helping us learn more.
Absolutely POWERFUL message John! #7 is so true.
This video could be titled "Growing True Abundance"
I've been practicing seed saving for over a decade, and my favorite part is exchanging with other seed savers. It's a great way to make new friends with a similar passion. New friends offer new knowledge. Knowledge is power. BlessUp
Just love that garden. Beautiful carrot, and I see red peppers too. Can't wait to see next full garden tour.lol take care.
I'll admit. First time I've seen carrots go to seed. Thanks for all you do. I've learned so much about gardening from your videos. I'll have to try purple carrots.
Love your channel!
Thank you for your video!
Great info, thanks John
Always great content!
Good info as always!!!
Good info and will spread
Yes now you're talking my language. I have so many annuals that basically self seed. I normally keep 1 or 2 plants and let them go to seed.
Parsley and other herbs I let a few of them just do their thing.
With things like Chard I pick the reddest and yellowest plant to let set seed.
With broccolli I normally pick one with good growth structure that re fruits after picking.
The Warrigal greens (sorry, I don't know what you'd call them or even if you have them) you can harvest and they still reseed themselves.
All my vegetables are heirloom varieties that do well in the local soil or for some, the soil I add to my raised beds.
But yes this is really important that people save at least a few seeds and don't just plant whatever the big stores stock.
Every season I try and source a couple of different varieties and see how they grow - the successful ones I'll collect seeds from.
Great video John.
Hope you guys didn't break up. Happiness cant last forever but love and understanding is what we need. Seems like you guys love each other. Stick with her, stay strong John.
Excellent educational content and video!!! Press On ✌️😎👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I totally agree! I let a daikon go to seed---one that I got very few original plants----and it's all over the bed this year!
I love saving seeds to use for microgreens over winter🐝
Great video.
Another great video! Thank you. John, I think you're looking like your old healthier self again! For awhile, you were looking stressed and run down; glad to see you back to your normal (for you anyway...LOL) self!
Marcy RP
I agree. As soon as I clicked on this video I thought “John looks hot today!”
He does look better with a little meat on his face.
♥️♥️U John!
Bravo majstore...Well done...
Excellent
Great tip on .build your own seed vault from your own plants!
SDD525 indeed they do! Great tip! .. and really.. lettuce seeds.. do not do well long term..even in the best of conditions...climate controlled and oxygen free. I've tried this with several varieties..over the years..and lettuce just doesnt seem to last..so.. point being.. grow enough each season...to collect seeds for next planting..you'll have the best results.
Nature is abundant!
Migardener has theses seeds .
It's called black nebula and is not the same as a purple carrot bought in the store.
They bleed like beets , and the formation is irregular. I tried them and was pleasantly surprised.
They have a lot of outer tiny hair roots . I just cleaned them under water with s scrub brush and ate the whole thing un peeled. Delicious.
Thanks for the details.
Very wise gardener ! I’m an avid seed saver myself 👍
I'm sorry to hear about Lauren, I hope you find someone who makes you very happy!
Just a tip - in my area the season isn’t long enough to grow a carrot and let it go to seed in one year. I pull them, put them in an extra refrigerator crisper drawer and replant the entire carrot the following Spring. Can’t leave them in the ground because of rodents and freezing issues
Love your channel! Can you do a video about growing food indoors? I need help to stay healthy during cold winters in canada
lol, this man can unnerved me - it's his unique "high anxiety energy" - not something he can help much, but *he made a Very Important Health Point* and ne that interested folks can use for further research on the subnet of *Food Sources that Provide Highly Effective Healing and Health Maintence* - hiding or prepared meals/Purple Carrots.
Great information for Wellness Living !
Hi John, I'd would like to know if I can eat these nebula leaves? Blessing
Great carrot!Keep up the Great Work John can we share your videos on social media? Thank you for your hard work Aloha
John you have been my go to for all of my gardening battles. Thanks for sharing all of your experiences. Sorry to hear about the break up. You 2 seemed really cute together. Love your energy & I'm sure you'll have no problem reproducing (-;
Neato....purple carrots...sack o seed.....what a concept...it’s enlightening and sad all at same time...I never knew purple carrots existed...now I want to grow them...eat em...seed em....interesting..I like some longer vids that u do too...
How the hell do you not have more views on every video?! YOU'RE GREAT BUDDY!
I dub this my favorite video I've watched of yours so far. It's the best, kind of deep. We're like-minded thinkers, you hit on a lot of good points about how and why to do all of this. Maybe if people started growing their own food again things would change a bit for the better from an economic standpoint. I'd be ok with Big Ag dealing with the direct public less often.
The way global warming is wiping out large agricultural sections of the nation, we all may be doing this soon. Good to learn and practice those skills to be ready and reduce the strain on the commercial food supply.
They combine with a bit of purple top turnips to make an excellently healthy and delicious fermented juice drink called Salgam, very popular in Turkey. The fermented carrot and turnip pieces can be eaten too. It's a shame salgam has not been known worldwide yet.
Gotta look that one up. Do you make it yourself?
@@wmluna381 I used to buy ready made ones for a long time and then once tried to make it myself (much better). Waiting for the season as I can't find any purple carrots at this season at all here in UK. I will try to grow some in my own allotment hopefully for the first time. There are many recipes on youtube on how to do it.
@@OnderG Good to know it won't be hard. Hoping to get a successful carrot crop for once this year. Best of luck with yours!
@@wmluna381 👍 Thank you 🤞
Hay quá.
John..if you you're container growing those carrots..what would be the depth of a container needed ?
Just ordered some seeds! Cant wait!
I would minimum 12", more preferably 16"- 20" optimal
John. I grow carrots every fall. Once you have eaten a home grown carrot you will ask yourself what are those orange things the grocery stores sell. We eat them and share with friends. We can hardly wait until the next crop is ready. I enjoy your videos. Thanks for all your good tips.
Forage Forage there's a guy in England who does UA-cams where he grows carrots potatoes, leeks in 10" pots, I think. If you want to grow in containers, you might want to watch a couple.
ua-cam.com/video/btrCpoVZ5LE/v-deo.html
mewendy1 Thanks... He has some really good vids. My guess is the carrots.. will adjust their grow according to the bucket..but 10" is pretty good depth.
Hahahahaha , I'm gonna hit follow because of 4:13
Lol the sex joke made me laugh pretty hard.
Alrachid classic John Kohler. Always making sex jokes hahaha
yeah, cracks me up
He meant on his own.
yesss! I was rolling too. Only on Growing Greens can someone pull off such an ellaborate carrot sex joke.
Haha. “Practising reproducing...”. I think he meant masturbating since he said he doesn’t have a girlfriend
I totally agree with the money thing
How long did it take for your carrots to fully get to mature seed?
Reason #11 - Black carrot lives matter. Seriously! Stores stock according to demand. Because black carrots have a different nutritional benefit than the popular orange variety, we should consume more of them, thus creating demand.
Donna Roberts it's purple you sjw nutter.
I am very very offended Donna, just because I’m an orange carrot doesn’t mean my life doesn’t matter! All Carrot Lives Matter!! 20/20 vision
boss asked me what I was doing in 2 years, told em' not sure - I don't have 2020 vision.
Fetti Rob, I agree! I'll never give up my orange carrots! 😁
4:12 LOL 🤣😂
can i get some of your black carrot seeds. I live near kigman AZ. Dolan Springs u know where that is.
Cool :) .. still keep in mind seeds usually last 1-2 years top.
depends on the seed variety. Some seeds (dates) for example can last thousands of years. Other seeds germination will go down if not stored properly.
I use some very old seeds and they germinate, it just takes a little bit longer since they really get dry.
What if you pull the carrot, cut off most of the root to eat, and plant the carrot top back in the ground?
I like the length of this video.
The carrot might live and might even grow a nice new top if the old one was damaged, but the root never grows back.
I think she is suggesting you replant the eaten root to then grow for seeds... not another root. This is actually a known strategy so that you get a root AND seeds. So, Andrea, yes, you can absolutely do that.
I had not thought of that. I hadn't watched the entire video yet when I posted.
In order to produce viable seed, the plant needs the full root. I'd not recommend using cut roots to a temp to produce seeds from.
Plant more seeds than you will eat so you can use some for seed production.
She likes the length ;)
Please tell us about tilapia, shirimp, artemia, and espurulina. Please, please
John Next Video: HOW TO MAKE A HEALTHY NUTRITIOUS VEGAN BABY
I thought carrots didn't make seeds until the end of their second year. I grew some carrots this year from seed and was amazed one of them went to seed. Unfortunately, it was a white carrot. Maybe I will replant one of my black carrots with the goal of getting black carrot seeds next year.
Went to buy a ladies shirt, not all girls are small or medium. There are some healthy gigguns out there who love watching and want to help support your show with a tee shirt purchase. Gotta love the thick girls too, lol.
Oooo juicy
How thick ma'am? Thic, thicc, or THICCC?
I like the shorter haircut.
Hey bro I was gonna by a shirt for my girl and me but the site said shipping date was june 15. Today is the 9th of August so that sketched me a bit. Are you still selling shirts?
yes, need to update the web site.
Learn Organic Gardening at GrowingYourGreens we’ll get on that John. You look great man! I’m a long time viewer and hope you make some more videos if you ever travel to Chicago! We need an professional like you out here shoot id be your under study if you would allow it lol
Nice haircut first of all. Would you please explain the difference between buying a pkg of seeds that have an expired date and keeping seeds longer than a year?
Sally Semrau Maybe because you can keep them under the right conditions as opposed to seeds that may be kept in a hot warehouse or whatever for that year. (?) I'm just guessing.
Become the person you want to be with and the Universe will send you your compliment. Weird how that works but it does.blessings and aloha John
Black carrot juice is addictive..
Well how can I get some your seeds only 10. I will plant let got to seed spread the carrot Wealth John

Classic John Kohler. Always tossing in a little sexual humor 😉 gets me every time haha
Are purple carrots and black carrots the same ???????
I just got done smoking. Nice carrot
Two months ago u were with lauren now u say u wish someone find u a nice girlfriend wht happened john?
Lauren and I are no longer a couple.
I am so sorry to hear that, yea I didn't like her for u anyways, u should be respected more n charished she seem like she wasn't in this with all her heart, she didn't seems to have ur vision mocked u instead n laughed at u, and she seemed to be dragging her feet along n not giving u the babies u wanted so badly. Yeah ur better off man, I can see the pain in ur eyes, man u can do better she wasnt evn tht hot my friend 😊 u can do much better hun keep ur head up 😉
I was wondering the same thing too. Hugs to you. I find my plants easier to get along with than some people. Any way ive shared this on my local self sufficiency facebook page.
So sorry, John...relationships can be hard. Maybe you'll have some luck at a vegan potluck (do they still have those in Las Vegas?).
Aww, that's too bad. I liked Lauren, she was cute. It's a shame she didn't stick around for the long haul.
Hey what's up.
Hey john! Are you planning on selling some black carrot seeds? If not, would you be interested in swapping black carrot seeds for some jaune obtuse du doubs yellow carrot seeds? Ler me know, id love to share these as well as experience black carrots!
Have an awesome day!
If you never find any migardener has them
three sex jokes in 4 minutes, new record John
I like your jokes.
You can't show us a big, beautiful carrot like that without specifying the variety/cultivar ... right?
What it is?
Please send me some Black Carrot seeds John.
did I hear you right John? the carrots leaves are edible too?
Bad jokes, good information
Reason #11 - Umbel plants attract Ladybugs 🐞 which eat aphids. I’ve got a vid about that if anyone is interested
I also destroyed my melons dammit. Even after your video xD I think I watered them too little when it was really hot. Was cool having them on the balcony during the summer though, looked good :-)
Don't feel bad; you're not alone! I don't know where you're gardening, but I'm in central Texas and I gave up trying to grow (a LOT of things, but especially) melons in the brutal summer heat. First year, I though I didn't water them enough and the next year, too much! Either way, they grew beautifully... to a point! But once the sun got to be too much for them, they split open! Both years, soooo.... I didn't try this year, but once I get some kind of overhead cover, I'm gonna' try again!
The unnecessary forced laugh is what I am here for
Carrot black in turkey
so if you're suggesting we don't eat black carrots, what's better to do with them then-
just lick and suck on them?
“You shove them down the throat without chewing actually! Chewing reduces nutrients by .00000257% you might as well grab a handful of dirt wash it down with that to help you poop better! Look at my smooth skin!”
- JohnfromGrowYourGreens
My favorite way to eat them is to juice them, and then rejuice the pulp with carrot juice.

Girlfriend left him for a guy with a bigger blacker carrot
Yeah this money thing is lame.
Anyway, I let mixed salad leaves (micro greens) go to seed and received several packs worth of seed. Time consuming and fiddly de-podding but well worth saving the bucks and gaining that extra life skill ☺
just do both
Reproducing is fun and then we die. Detecting sexual tension.
You're looking fresh with your haircut.
Great thing is we can self juice our vegetables !
Seeds, better than gold, worth more than money.
Did John just suggest a sexual relationship with his vegetables? No wonder he loves them so much!! :D I joke from a place of love. No offense intended. :)
John has over half a million loyal followers; he can afford to be picky if he wants! If he was my son, I'd be glad he wasn't rushing into something that may not be right for the long haul! As for the REST of the accusations.... pure hateful BS!
Can they grow in Africa?
Lol i love the info he gives. I would of never known that about purple carrots. I don't imagine it taste as good as orange though huh? He always making sex jokes 😑he so predictable lol. I haven't grown carrots yet. Never lucky, but couldn't you still eat the root after it seeds? It'll probably taste bitter but still nutritious?
Where do you store your vegetables with benefits?
Original carrots

Are black carrots GMO?
