Hi John, I really enjoy your videos. Thanks heaps for this one, I already ordered some seeds and can't wait to plant them. Are they perennial in South Carolina?

[growingyourgreens]

If you freeze, they will not be :(

John, big fan here, I would like to go to that nursery and buy some plants but they dont seem to be listed in phone book. Do you have contact information so I can call or go to their nursery? I live in Broward (you were in Broward County when you were at the Davie Nursery) and Id love to go to that nursery in West Palm.

You can call them at (561) 312-6205, they are by appointment only.

John, what is your opinion on defoliating crops? 

[growingyourgreens]

In what situation? It may have some value in certain instances, but in general, I don't recommend it.

I really enjoyed the production of this video. I did comment to Ed that I really enjoyed myself filming this episode, and his family even came out to watch this "Youtube Star" film this episode.. I encourage all my viewers to do something everyday that LIGHTS YOU UP and HAVE FUN each and every day.

Thanks to your video and living in west palm beach, I visited Ed at Southern J ranch and purchased some everglades tomato plants, a muscadine grape plant and a dragon fruit plant. Thanks for the great information.

I discovered your show while researching Scarlet Runner beans today, and have enjoyed this episode. You have encouraged me to do more research into annuals (and perennials) that are naturalized to Central Texas.

Thank you for the southern Florida coverage. WE are new to florida and are so excited to learn about the native plants. Thank you - thank you- thank you!

[dotalessons]

Nice work. Thanks!

Great stuff and John - your enthusiasm is incredible! One thing though - the Bhut Jolokia was dethroned as king by a Pepper called the Butch T out of Australia as the world's hottest Pepper.
