This year I spent over $2500 with Johnny’s Seeds, partially because I’m seed obsessed, and partially because I needed a completely new seed stock because of the big changes we are making this year. As we transition to mostly being a flower farm for the 2022 season, I’ve had to do lots of research and learning about varieties that I’ve never grown before. But, that doesn’t mean that we aren’t still going to be growing a large variety of veggies – I’m too spoiled on homegrown veggies to not have a large personal garden. Join to discuss new carrot seed experiments, my over buying of gourds, and the other veggies that needed restocking in my grand seed hoard.
Ian and Serina of YOU CANT EAT THE GRASS feel that every small change can make a big difference to the world we live in. Every garden planted leads to a better future. We hope to inspire and motivate others to make positive changes in their lives by sharing our journey towards greater sustainability as we build our family farm. It’s hard work to build a life worth living, and completely worth it!

25000 carrots would fill all the gardens in my street I am in a little town in England ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I enjoy learning about farming activities in this conversational format.
Stop rambling and get to the points.from what I watched from last season you barely made enought to cover the cost of the seeds.alot of waste.need better marketing skills.
I got the same pole beans. I had a reason too—Not sure why! They must be prolific and long and tender…my guess!
Here´s an idea for you! Try selling lettuce salad mixes which include edible flower petals! Dahlia petals are especially delicious.
I let my kale go to seed so i have to buy any kale seed. I do the same with ARUGULA.I make pesto with the arugula.
Mellow Star is a shishito hybrid that looks and grows and tastes like a shishito, but none of them are hot – most shishitos do produce a certain percentage of pretty hot peppers, you just don't know which are hot until you bite into it. Have grown them a couple of years now and really like blistering them on the grill and then eating them out of hand, either with just a squeeze of lime or with a dipping sauce. Can't tolerate much heat, so these are perfect for me.
I'm not able to watch the streams live, but I enjoy listening to your live streams later. Not every video has to be fast facts, it is nice to listen to a conversation style video too.
SSE has benary’s giant Zinnia seeds available
does it cost more to buy from johnny seeds , i live in langley and buy all my seeds from west coast or mckenzie or brecks
I let my husband pick out the carrot varieties that we are growing this year and so now I have sooo many different carrot seeds. But no Mokum, so next year we’ll have add it. Have you ever asked customers why they buy or don’t buy certain things? I wonder if they don’t like to eat certain produce or they grow their own (like tomatoes) so that is why. I saw a bouquet of flowers where the included small lunchbox red peppers stuck onto a floral wire. Very fun. We grew rattlesnake pole bean (green with purple stripes) and we enjoyed them. We will not be growing squash for a couple years as we get lots of pest pressure.
One of my favorite things about Johnny's is that they emailed me an inventory of seeds I purchased last year. Super helpful! Thank you Johnny's Seeds
Absolutely love Kohlrabi. It is so versatile. Eat them freshly sliced. Gril them on the BBQ or oven roast them with salt and pepper with olive oil. Or make vegetable soup with Kohlrabi.
However, my favourite is eating the leaves in stir fry. Flavor is unique with cabbage with Kohlrabi flavor. Purple adds a nice touch of colour. Stir fry with garlic and butter or use oysters sauce or soy sauce for a more Asian style flavour
Pole beans are a type of common bean, and should not be eaten raw.
Fyi. Hoss seeds have a deep purple carrot, great company
This is a fun video to watch. I thought you hadn’t posted a video in a long time but then this came up on my recommended and I realized youtube had unsubscribed me somehow.
I wonder if you could sell veggie mixes in boxes or baskets to get your money’s worth. You can even add a small bouquet and recipes to raise the value. Kind of like those Hello Fresh boxes that are all the rage these days. Just a thought…one year I bought a bunch of little wooden bird cages super cheap to sell veggies but I never got to try them out.
Could you make a video about the spacing of your carrots and salad mix? I’m also farming and it’d be helpful to know. Do you succession plant your carrots or plant all at once and leave in the ground until you harvest? Thanks!
Hello friend I like your video ❤️
When ordering seeds, we gardeners need to stop before we reach the budget limit.
Because, when the seeds and plants are ready in the local stores, things "accidentally" fall in our shopping basket quite often!
WRT the different varieties of plants that people grow in their garden, but you can make money on with a farm. That's the reason, even a small home garden, is beneficial. They keep variety going!
Everyone with a big vision feels behind because the completion seems so far away that we'll never get there. Thing is, life's a journey, not a destination to arrive at. So as long as we are safe and healthy, keep walking on!
Love the pumpkin choices !
I sold Casperita plants last year & people were so excited at harvest because they had 25 to 50 pumpkins per plant.
Hey, I just looked you up on where you are located….Kelowna,BC! Yeah!! I have family in the area. I myself, live in Medicine Hat, Alberta and SO wish I had an acreage to farm in. BUT, my husband put in a few 4 x 8 raised beds in and that's my growing area. LOVE the seed starting part…LOVE,LOVE…
you are lucky . you have all in the johnny's seeds. im am from Europa in Romania, and i dont' have seeds like you all in one.
