John you are a plant hoarder! I love it :-) Is all of this work in place of a girlfriend or in addition to? lol

[growingyourgreens]

Great video, your excitement is really inspiring. I was curious about how you germinated the paw paw seeds. I've heard it can be difficult.

[growingyourgreens]

You are suppose to scarify them I belive.. Sometimes I follow instructions, and sometimes I just put seeds in some dirt, in the greenhouse, and keep'em watered... sometimes it works.. sometimes it doesn't.. This time it worked.. I didnt do anything "special". These were seeds out of pawpaws I personally ate.. so maybe it helped that the seeds were "fresh".

John, love your videos and share your passion for eating healthy greens. I'm curious, what are you growing for protein rich foods and are you able to provide this protein for yourself exclusively from your garden?

[growingyourgreens]

Protein Rich Foods? Thats easy.. Just check out my youtube name.. Growing Your Greens.  Greens are high in protein. In nature, where would cows get their protein? They would eat grass and get all the protein they need. I grow a wide variety of greens in my garden. In addition, I grow runner beans, and snap peas when in season. Oh yeah, and don't forget, I have a whole trellis full of Kakai pumpkins - I am specifically growing them for the seeds- also rich in protein.

Great video John.

You sell juicers and blenders and stuff, you garden and grow all this food, you make videos- when do you sleep?!

[princessjune11]

John, where did you buy that Chilean Guava? Looks too good! Thanks for the videos.

[Bloodavenger3200]

Hey, I see your growing Chilean Guava and I was wondering how well it's doing in your area, I see you speak of Sonoma County sometimes, so I presume you grow it there. I've been emailing back and forth with a nursery that sells the plant, and I was told it may not do so well in my climate due to the humidity, I see Sonoma County is near the ocean and I see on the eastern side it's a bit closer to deserty? Just wondering if you have desert humidity or some ocean humidity. Thanks!

The Trinidad Scorpion (Butch T) is the worlds hottest Chilli(pepper), coming in at 1,463,700 SHU.

[MrVenturadog]

@growingyourgreens That makes it easier to grow your greens and eat them. My girlfriend say she can't and won't eat some of the greens I grow.For example she would not eat my Thai Basil, it taste to strong? Food is suppose to have a strong taste!

I love your enthusiasm, you are an inspiration man. Keep on growing!
