  1. Thank you for sharing; sharing all your videos. I have been talking to grocery store managers and truckers…. China bought 58% of our farms in the US and were selling us all the food until this year. They have a large population and need the food for their people. They are exporting the food back to China. Our warehouses are losing ground and becoming empty. I go to the grocery store and their are shelves that are empty now…. we are in big trouble. We are also having problems with truckers quitting. They are being pulled out of their trucks and beaten to death by the rioters. With all that is going on; we all need to learn to be self sufficient. Thank you so much for all your hard work and sharing your knowledge. You personally are going to receive great rewards in Heaven because of all the lives you will be saving with the knowledge you are sharing God Bless.

  2. Great series. The only fault I noticed was: you plant Garlic cloves not bulbs. Which might simply be the difference between Aussie English and American English! As I said; Great series!

  3. I've tried Rosemary and three types of berries. I have extra berry bushes and think about secretly planting them in parks
    I didn't use additives, just tap water.

  4. As always you make the absolute best videos. So informative. Because of you I'm gonna start a new raised garden beds this year and planting some fruit trees. I know how to grow them since I started watching you

  5. Thank you for this series. I watched it all today. They were very helpful – answered a lot of my questions. You are a very good teacher. Your ministry to many of us is quite valuable. Thank you so much for doing this.

  6. Mark, I took lemon seeds from the lemon I got at a restaurant. Then I germinated and sprouted them. They are little tiny shoots right now. After potting them, I learned about 'true-to-type' and realized my commercial lemon might never bear fruit. All this to say, this video encourages me that if I nuture them and never get good fruit, at least I can get root stock from them.

  7. Hi all,
    Does anyone have knowledge of a known hardwood/ semi-hardwood fruiting species Compatibility Guide for grafting?
    Example: (Pear > Quince) (Peach > Plum).

  8. Thank you so much for this series I watched all 5 today, glad you did in sections so I could pace myself and get my chores done, lol. I love how you've organized your seeds in file order. I would need to separate each by season as well to remind me what gets planted when.
