hey john, have you ever juiced the chayote leaves? i buy the tips at the market but i was wondering how the big leaves tasted.

[growingyourgreens]

I was told that only the tips can be eaten raw. I didnt think the whole leaves tasted that good. I dont know if I would juice a large quantity of them.. I would prefer to juice other greens.

hey john. the concrete grids you refer to is called re-mesh. awesome video as usual. thank, James.

[growingyourgreens]

Thanks James. Sometime I dont know all the technical names. I bought them once, I personally didnt like how they rusted.

You have one of the best garden shows on you-tube.

I use the wire fencing for my pole beans. It works perfectly. Btw, it takes ages and ages for the rust to break the fencing and rust is not harmful to your plants or you. I've never had a problem with it and the beans rarely complain. When they do complain I just smack them around because I'm not a fan of whiney beans. :)

@mreisma good idea - if you use the method to create a tree 'espalier' against a warm, sheltered south-facing wall you can avoid early blossoming trees like almond or peach losing all their petals and pollen on the first cold blowy day after a warm start to spring!

Say, if I want to grow horizontal, what materials do I need?

Hi John. How about doing a video on kiwis. I live in los angeles and I have only found one place in temecula that sells kiwi plants and I have tried without luck to start the seeds from store bought kiwi. Also, there is not a lot of info out there on kiwis. Thanks

That rusty wire grate that you were referring to can be painted with rust or plastic paint. Use a little roller for a quick application. I use green for my moss planters and it lasts - might use some bright colours this year just for fun... It really doesn't use much paint. Thanx for all your great videos!
