Thank you, yeah I had to be close to the forest growing, harvesting and planting. The balcony just helped me stay sane..lol. thank you for your support over the years. Take care

The first time I grew was on the patio of a single bedroom apartment in pots I had to rotate to keep in the sun.

First time I grew anything was a homemade wooden box with CFL lights inside my small apt in NYC. Now we have a couple acres plot in the Hudson valley. I'm going to try growing corn in my weedy lawn 🤣🤣🤣

Absolutely, and why we are still importing so much even now. It's crazy, tastes so much better too. Maybe it just takes people like us to make it more known 😉

Can you cultivate it? Will it grow in your food forest? Have never even heard of it before. Then again being in Western Canada you have LOTS of things that we cant grow here.

@@tovaritchboy You can cultivate anything if you understand what it needs and can provide for them, preferably through a closed loop.

I suspect that all annuals might be able to become perennials through breeding too, but I don't have anything to back up such a claim... Yet.

OH I know can grow ALMOST anything, but am in zone 3 with chinooks so limits the growing season and winter hardiness. Have couple micro climates that would be zone 4 and have delicate fruits and berries planted there.

That is soooo cool!!!! I'm so glad that I can help people realize this amazing and delicious spice right out there back door. And that my video helped you, this is what makes it all worth it for me, sharing videos of cool stuff like this. People really enjoy it and gives them something to hunt for 😉 thank you so much, your comment really made my day. Take care

Thanks bill, I appreciate you stopping by

yes, thats what we do. just dry the whole thing and grind into pepper

Deffinetly got enough to last me now 😀 we just had a few days of rain, it was all good here in Tennessee, but thanks for asking

Thanks bro, I appreciate you stopping by

Thanks bro, I appreciate that. Me and you need to make plans for a meetup. Your just over the mountain and would be cool hang out with ya and team up on some foraging?

@@athatcher85 absolutely man. That would be the bee's knees.

thank you, havnt done any classes but friends of mine that have property and also a few time my friends were looking at property, i have showed them some stuff they have already on the property or why this piece of land is more valuable than the other based on hard woods, wild fruits and berries, etc

I sure hope so. The history of the spice trade in south east Asia and India is tragic. If I can help show people they have everything right out there back doors, or even produce something themselves, my job is complete 😉 thank for stopping by

Planting Freedom - athatcher85 You probably don't even know me.....but I have been following you for years:) I used to watch all of your plants and fruit tree videos. Then, all I did was train and sleep. And now I'm back.

yeah, your right, nobody has ever put pepper into a pepper grinder before, or even put something in a ziplock bag when your not using it. i should really talk to people like they are stupid like your self or as if im talking to a child. its not good enough that i showed everyone how to identify it, when to harvest and how to process them after they are harvested, i really should consider all the people like your self that do not know how to figure things out or just step back and think before i make myself sound like a complete idiot. oh yeah i cant forget, also be more passive aggressive and condescending when i try to ask questions about something that is common sense. lmfao
