The most important thing I try to put in every year is pumpkins. I plant them in odd corners of my garden and let them ramble over everything. They're incredibly easy to grow, just glop some pith and seeds down with some compost and check it every so often. 6 months later there's pumpkins. It's one vegetable that no matter how busy or exhausted I am I can find the time and energy to start them off and they keep doing their thing with very little input, and though I do like to get out there with a paintbrush and give them a little help it's not really necessary. Harvest in time for pumpkin soup, roasted pumpkin, pumpkin muffins, oh my.

Great stuff once again! Agree that potatoes pretty much grow on their own. The only other few vegetables I'd include would be zucchini/summer squash & garlic. Honorable mention to bok/pak choi (part of cabbage family) and spinach. I suppose it really depends on your climate, sun/shade situation, etc. But tomatoes, zucchini/summer squash, beans (green), peas & garlic are probably my top picks. Love your channel and info!

If everybody tried to be self-sufficient and grow plants to eat, wow, what a great world this would be. I totally agree with this passion for gardening. I grew up old school with a mother who gardened every year. NONE of us were obese, I was a size 7 when I was 18. It all went downhill after college and going to buffets...but man, I want to go back to the organic Gardening.

Mike I've been watching your channel on and off whenever you roll into my feed. I was at first primarily interested in Ginger, but your passion for gardening ignited my passion for Gardening. You've earned my subscription. This will be my first adult gardening since decades ago when I was a young girl watching my mother garden. We grew up eating healthy organic vegetables every year for at least 2 decades before everybody grew up and moved away to the big cities. So this year, after surviving a 3 year fight with Cancer, I am going to take up gardening. I may have to go back and watch your videos from days gone by...but I enjoy all of your new content too. Please show more videos of how your family cooks or stores the goodies from your garden. I found your last video of the potato stew very sophisticated. I don't think the average gardener could have pulled off your one pot delicious meal. I myself would have boiled or baked the potatoes put some herbs and butter and done. But you took it to the next level with all your herbs, spices and turned it into a 4 hour stew. WOW. I was impressed.

I really love your entertaining videos! (Btw: Cabbage in German is Kohl. Sauerkraut is fermented Kohl in small stripes.) I would hope that you are right when you say that you can grow these veggies in every climate. :) I live in the tropics near the ocean since over a year and started permaculture and I really try to grow onions and potatoes, but I am nearly giving up. Onions not even sprout. They are the worst experience at all! Green onions sprout but stay as a weak kind of gras since 3 month now 😆. Potatoes start sprouting and growing a bit and than always die without a visable reason. (sweet potatoes are growing like crazy). With the beets I also had no real success so far. There comes a weak plant that not really is building up a bulb. For the carrots I am praying. Its my second try and they sprouted and are growing "shy" as the beets. My cucumbers last year came up very easy and good, but all the fruits were bitter and ended at the compost 😏. What grows good so far are sweet potatoes, maniok tomatoes and peppers, but they like the dry season much more than the rainy season. Also different kinds of beans and herbs are easy. If you know a good yt channel regarding the tropics, I would be thankfull to get the information. regards, Ani

I would take those off and add either kale or a spinach variety as these can be expensive to purchase and will save you money to grow on your own plus get all the great health benefits.

And it was unbelievable, but he went back 3 prescriptions. We don’t know if it was the entire diet of all raw fruit n vegys or if it was the carrots 🥕 but we were thankful.

My garden philosophy is to grow things that are better (or much, cheaper) than you can buy. I don't grow your #10 lettuce because I don't like soft young leaves. I prefer iceberg (better quality and inexpensive in groceries). I don't grow carrots. Homegrown are generally not as good as store-bought. I notice that you grow the short cultivars because larger ones are much harder to grow. You don't get much to eat on the short ones. I don't grow cabbage. Store-bought is as good or better, and it is a magnet for bugs in the garden. But I love growing its relative: kohlrabi, which is usually old and dry in stores, if you can find it. Beets and turnips are a necessity in my garden, but here in Ohio, you have to build a wire frame over beets, or the deer get every bite. I love the roots, but the cooked greens are even better. I only grow large field onions to plait them for my kitchen wall. Store-bought onions are as good. But scallions, shallots, and esp. leeks are better home-grown. Most home-grown cukes (like Marketmore) taste similar to those in a store. I only grow Straight Eight because of the fabulous taste. As an older variety, it must be sprayed for bugs, or the bugs bring fungus that kills the plant early. Little Marvel Peas are #1 in my spring garden. Here in America, either you can't find what we call "English Peas" (shelling peas) in a store, or they are dried up. Snap peas and snow peas are not nearly as good. Beans are a necessity, esp. ones that are hard to find in stores: haricots verts, Chinese long beans, dried beans for cassoulet, caviar lentils. Over half of my summer garden is tomatoes: the new heritage hybrids (Brandy Boy, Genuwine), the great reliable classics (Big Boy, Early Girl), the best cherries (Sun Gold, Sun Sugar), and a wonderful French Import (Jaune Flamme'). The only potato that I grow is yummy Kennebec because I can't get it in a store. You left out some necessities: I grow Golden Bantam corn because stores only carry those sickeningly sweet newer bicolor cultivars. Next to tomatoes, the main crop in my summer garden is eggplant: Black Beauty and Rosa Bianca. There are home-grown peppers that beat everything in any store: Marconi and genuine Hatch (NuMex 6-4).

Thanks for the video, and good luck reading 14,000 comments! I live in the Wet Tropics of north Queensland and many of the temperate veggies can only be grown during the short winter. It's also hard to keep, e.g. potatoes, for long. However there are Chinese versions of many species, and that's what I'm planting this winter, and I was motivated to watch your video.

I really liked all the veggies you showed, but I can not imagine a garden without bell peppers or zucchini. They would be on my top 10 list, for sure! They are both very easy to grow where I live. Red and orange bell peppers have more vitamin C than oranges! They can be steamed, baked, fried, eaten raw, put in salads, canned, frozen, pickled. You can not beat bell peppers! Zucchini can even make cakes and breads, plus noodles! It's so good for you. Use in soups, stews, or can pickles with it. You can't go wrong with these two amazing vegetables/fruits!!!

They are VERY expensive at the store, so if you can grow them, that's awesome. The two other things I'd include are garlic and sweet potatoes. They are both staples in our household.

This is my first attempt with the cement mixer and it certainly saves your back!

So my mother came home from the hospital with the diagnosis of ovarian cysts. Docs were worried about them turning cancerous, talking about putting her under the knife, giving her sketchy medication. So it was some daunting news. Before my parents decided to go that route, my father did some research on natural alternatives. Found out about beets. My mother didn't like beets, and wasn't thrilled when he approached her about it. But considering the alternatives, they went ahead and everyday my father started juicing beets for her. EVERYDAY, I heard that juicer whirring away, and he calling her into the kitchen to make her stand over the sink and down it. At her follow up appointment, the doctors were stunned to find that there were no longer cysts. The beets had seemeingly vaporized them. Make what you will of it, just thought I'd share!

Solid list. Here in Montana, the short seasons force us to work harder and make different choices. The most productive leafy green in short season and cold climates is Swiss Chard. No contest. However, tomatoes are difficult to grow without buying starts, or using a green house. Without a greenhouse, the most productive are determinate bush and cherry varieties that matures in warmer climates in about 60 days. F1 Early Girl is perhaps the best bet, but it is a hybrid. Mine are mostly a heirloom Beefsteak. Amish Paste, an indeterminate and others are also growing, but are behind schedule, and will not be able to produce as much, or much more than the determinate tomatoes, because of the short season. In a cooler summer or at higher elevations, they may not produce much at all. Well draining soil is also hard to come by here. Yukon Gold potatoes is the most important survival food one can grow here, but even they do not do well in soil with heavy clay. Potatoes produce the most nutrition for a given area, and here in Montana, we must install high fences to keep the big game out, therefore gardens tend to be smaller or compact. Potato towers are the most compact way to grow lots of potatoes in a smaller area. One 2'x'2' square tower has many potato plants in it that are all 4 feet high, and will grow into October. Sawdust is used to hill up and provide a growing medium for the potatoes. Sawdust is used to reduce the need for loose soil that is very hard to come by here in the Rock Mountains were there are lots of rocks and little good top soil. But we do have plenty of sawdust from lumber mills. Composting is essential here. Great motivational channel. Enjoy the humor and down to earth advice. Thank you.

Thanks for the information. I enjoy learning how growers across the globe overcome the challenges in their region. If you do have a green house or polytunnel have looked into hot boxes? Stay safe Tunnel Rabbit.

@@pollywolly7988This year I used a short low polytunnel to get some of the garden going early. Buckets of soil was brought into the house while there was still snow on the ground, and allowed to heat up to get the potatoes started early, no light needed immediately. They were then moved into the polytunnel. Next year, I will erect a proper green house, but even a short and low polytunnel 'works wonders' to germinate various veggies. These can also be used to extend the season for a few weeks. Swiss Chard will grow in the snow, and can emerge before the snow is gone, or late winter. There are various techniques to maximize the potential of short season garden that can used with, or without a green house...

Have you looked into tatsoi? It's a very nutrient dense asian green that does well in colder weather. Kind of like leafy bok Choi. It's my wife's favorite green I grow and specifically requests it. Chard is awesome thought and the multi color makes it really pop. Kale is a good one as well if you do chard.

Definitely squash, zucchini, yellow, butternut, spaghetti, and pumpkins and gourds to decorate the house in the fall. All are easy to grow but I do fight with the powdery mildew sometimes. I use cages for the butternut, and the spaghetti squash will hang and taken up less room. These last two last for a long time like the potatoes.

I fully agree on the peppers. So many varieties so there's something to suit anyone's tastes. I'd also make it a top 12 and would just lump herbs into a single category. They are so easy to grow and provide so much flavor to everything else you eat that they are a must for both anyone with a garden, and for those without the space for a garden such as those living in city apartments or high rises they can be very easily grown in a window planter.

I’m glad to say that I grown all those veggies every year. I added Asparagus, Artichokes, Peas, Broccoli Cauliflower and multiple colored small potatoes, they were so creamy and delicious!! From the garden to the dining table is just the best and healthiest! Oh ya, I grew watermelons this year too, I got 9 melons, ranging from 9lbs to my biggest 17,5 lbs. I still have one more left to pick, I live in Southern California, I can pretty much grow year round. Another must is a strawberries, I have them in my garden all year round and Swiss Chard, another easy grow and super healthy for you!! Oh and Radishes are another good one for beginners, because they are the fastest growing veggie, you’ll be enjoying them as soon as 3-6 weeks in time. And they can grow during 3 seasons depending where you live. Spring Fall and some Winter varieties. Gardening is so therapeutic for me. You work hard, but look at the lovely results you get from it and you save $$ and get healthier food, at least you know where it came from and I only use organic non-pesticides in my yard. Sorry for such a long response, I get excited when I talk gardening, I love learning more and I’ve been doing this for about 30+ yrs now, it doesn’t get old and there is always something to learn from it. Thank you for your nice video, it was lovely. 😃🌻🍄🐥

@@seekeroftruth9900 What Truth are you seeking. I noticed you mentioned "Father" instead of "God." I am purposeful in the words I use also, as my *seeking of Truth* which started in earnest [2,700 + hours 2 days shy of 7 months] on 11 Feb 2018 and slowed on 9 Sep 2018 once I discovered a *MAJOR Truth.* I will always be seeking.... till the day I am no longer in this plain. I no longer use "God" as I have discovered this word is of pagan origin. My background up until a few months to my 40th birthday was a strong practicing Christian. I no longer use the name "Jesus" either but Yeshua [and reference for those curious that Joshua would be the English translation for those that care to ask verbally in a conversation.]. The same way I don't use "holy" and others.... and as of 9 Sep 2018, that the blood sacrifice I believed in for almost 40 years was also false and not what Yeshua taught. Of course, Yeshua might not even have existed... but I believe that he did and was a human man just like everyone else who had a biological mother and *biological father.* The messages he taught which his followers called *The Way is LOVE & FORGIVENESS* and that the Kingdom is at hand [here within us]... and that we will find the Kingdom if we *SEEK.* Anyway, I know this is a gardening tip video, but curious none the less if you get this message and is willing to share.
