I was talking to my girlfriend about your channel. I’ve been watching you for a long time. I’m glad you’re still doing the things you love this is awesome. And you are absolutely right. I think everybody need to grow their own food! And have a healthy life too!!

Cool to run into you guys at the Festival! Hope you enjoyed the mangos and so glad you got to meet Cathy and rep for wpb/lox. I feel everytime I go they add new varieties and they are the best! Next time you go it will amaze you. I feel you only got to about 20% so much more to explore!

Honestly, if we invested as much money into these types of edible plants as we do in fruit trees we would have exponentially more food. Checking out some of our local nurseries we just don’t have anything like this in Northern Brevard. Going to have to get down there to get some of these to start propagating up here. Thank you for really highlighting everything!

Thanks for another super episode of great and unusual plants and growing ideas, John!

Obviously I'd buy the heck out of plants here but it's also worth just a visit because for the topic it's the best botanical garden/museum I've seen. And if you can't get there you can see it with John for free.
