Onions?
Can you buy carnivourus plants from amazon
Hey Kevin, plant some hops!
Can you make a video on how to grow turmeric or ginger harvest.
I added habanada pepper to my salsa garden for the taste but no heat for a mild Caribbean salsa and added just a little true habanero in it. It's really interesting because I just directly bit into one habanada pepper to see what they're like, and it tastes just like a habanero but as I cringed waiting to be decimated by the heat… none came! Freaky. But now I can get the taste but temper the heat for my less adventurous friends. Love your vids!
I'm sure I'm not the first person to ask but do you grow medicinal plants?
how to et rid of squirrels
when will you put your channel on odysee?
Have you ever tried growing "Fooled You Jalapeno" ?
You grow carrots in the summer??
Could you do a video about plants/veggies to grow in cold winters, that aren't just cabbages and what not
Super helpful and informative! I love the light and water specification info.
love the videos. Just found your channel 😀 Cant wait to try all of your cool tips 🙂
Now I'm craving for some salsa in tacos
Your culantro is known as chillangua here in Ecuador (and I believe Peru as well). Once it has those spiky grows, the plant will not grow new leaves. It starts to prepare itself to actually direct energy to creating seeds. We cut those off to continue having leaves. On the bright side: you can grow new culantro plants super easy (almost like weed everywhere hahaha).
You can use the Culantro to marinate fish or chicken. or in some dipping sauces. Also use a leaf or two in soups.
This channel is totally solanaceous dude. Cheers!
Check out the Ellen White method to plant fruit trees. On the Weed Garden (Australia) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4-p2vflRnj4. I am going to try it!
Wanting fresh salsa when I was stationed somewhere far away from a Mexican restaurant is what got me into gardening! Great tips!
I’m new to gardening and really enjoy your videos. For some reason I have decided to start all my crop from seeds and your videos are really helpful. Thanks
In Trinidad we call Culanto , Shado Beni. Its a major staple in Caribbean cooking. We make something called green seasoning with it.
Imagine walking through your neighborhood and seeing a extremely tall man trying to crouch behind a raised bed for some reason
Hi Kevin, I live north of you on the edge of L.A. County. I love your videos and I am learning a lot. I have tried to grow Cilantro for years and it always dies or dries up. Up here we can get up into the 100s temps. Where should I plant it and should I allow for a bit of shade because of the high temps we get here? I love this Salsa garden. I know it's a bit late to start this now. What would be the best time in L. A. County?
Thank you.

I have a question about growing in sunny climates…
While technically I live in the same hardiness zone as you (9a-9b) it gets not just hot, but VERY intense sun where I'm at and I've almost given up on outdoor gardening May-September.
Have you ever set up shade cloths for some of your more sun sensitive plants?
Love your channel and just got your book!
I'm having a difficult time growing my habanero and serrano peppers. Theyre a few months old and very tall but there's no peppers or anything. Just leaves.
Just commented on your post from a few days ago about trying mad hatters. Glad to see others like them as well. Never had a striped bell pepper but I am growing candy cane peppers which I am guess could be along the same taste. Pretty cool looking plant too.
