Rest in peace Donald. The two of you taught me everything I I know about gardening. Bobby, we need you more now than ever. Please keep uploading!

As a recovering alcoholic, I find gardening to be part of the recovery. And you and Donald were the ones that brought me to gardening. I thank you both. In so many ways.

Don was one of the folks that got me thinking about doing a KZfaq Channel. I always looked forward to seeing what he was doing. He will be missed. RIP Big Guy.

You know, people on here feel that way about you. Think about that and believe it.

He will be missed ☹️ He was one of the first channels I subscribed to almost 10 years ago. RIP Donald 🙏🕊️

Donald was the very first gardener I subscribed to a decade ago. I learned from him and enjoyed his company. He was a truly decent kind person.

That was beautiful Bobby. I attended all but one of the gatherings with the bayou gardener. We all hoped every year you would attend. I don't think Donald realized how far his video's reached. We actually had someone attend who came all the way from Austrailia. It turned out to be the last gathering Donald and his family attended. We all became family through Donald and Mary. They were the most kind, giving, loving, generous, and happy people you've ever met. Even his son and daughter were open and receptive. Mary passsed away March 2. You are going to have to continue making gardening video's. Someone needs to carry the torch.

Donald was an amazing person, he will be missed. Thanks for sharing some of the memories with us Bobby!

So I come on you tube looking for my old friend Donald and find this. His garden always looked so perfect. Rest in peace Donald you will be missed.

Bobby... Donald knew you loved him, and he looks down on ya now... Probably sit'n on his Kabota... Crunching on on a fresh picked Candy onion... RIP Donald ! And we hope healing finds you quickly too Bobby... Know he would never wish to see you shed a tear... But for today, we can be jealous of the angels, as they welcome him to the foot of the throne of our Father... Sir Donald will have some beautiful gardens to tend now, surely... Hang in there Bobby, and we'll see ya in the next one !

Lache Pas Donald.. Until we see you again. This breaks my heart

Bobby, Yep, I watched Webcajun but I watched you more when I first discovered KZfaq. And I watched imstillworkin and all the canning she does. You mention wishing you had gone down to Donald's place and many of us feel the same about you. I am now 80 years old and we know what that means. I am happy, even though the circumstances are sad, to see you here again. Please drop by here on KZfaq occasionally. Thanks for making this video. OAG

Awwww. So sad to hear. You and Webcajun were my 2 first channels I followed. May he Rest In Peace with his darling wife. Glad we have videos to go back and watch. Lash Pa!!!

Don't be sad that he's gone, be glad he was here. Loved his videos, put me in mind of mind dad and gardening with him. I enjoy your videos as well, pick up that torch and carry it brother. Take care.

Please grab the torch from Donald and make some more magic for us mphg !!! I miss your videos a LOT!!! That was a beautiful elegy, cheers !!

The child/student only grows up when their parents/mentor passes. Donald did the work he was supposed to do. MHP you are now the mentor. We love you💖!

I think you just figured out what you mean to so many of us. We see you in the same light you saw him. I may never get to shake your hands, but please know my gratitude to you for what you have taught me. I have a full hdyro greenhouse now, selling produce locally because of what I learned from you.

RIP Webcajun and thank you Mr. Bobby for all you do for the KZfaq gardening/hydroponic community!

He was Awesome! He is walking on the streets of gold with his darlin! No more strife and labor of this world! RIP

I just came across this about Donald. I haven't seen or heard from him in a while so I decided to see where he has been and saw this. I used to chat with him weekly. I even sent him pictures of our newborn son back in 2011 and he always responded with kind words and always wanted more pictures of him. He was always very helpful to my gardening questions and I also regret not getting a chance to go visit him. He always welcomed anyone. Thank you for your kind words and memories of him.

Ok Bobby, now you have to carry on where he left off!!!

Awesome Bobby you know he’s smiling somewhere with his beautiful wife 👍🍻 TO DONALD!!

Looking back, it was Don's big garden/small farm, and his pure enjoyment of it, that made me realize that I wanted to go bigger. I keep going back to his channel, loving how he did the onions, and the tricks he used for his tomatoes. Donald was a solid human being, who showed his love for his garden, family, and friends. What a warm person. Easy to watch, easy to like, easy to understand. I dreaded the day I would hear he had passed. We lost a legend, as MHP said. I too would've loved to have met him.

Thank you for sharing this news. Makes me so sad. I loved watching him. A great legend indeed. RIP Donald.

Thanks for sharing this Bobby. I have really enjoyed watching both your channel as well as Donald's. I have learned a lot from both of you, keep up the good work. RIP Donald.

Donald’s channel was the first KZfaq channel I ever subscribed to......missing him, and you too. Come on back!

I actually found his channel thru your channel. I’m saddened to hear of his passing. I loved his casual way.

The Cajun is the OG. We are blessed we can watch his videos over and over. That is awesome.

Well said Bobby. He is the foundation of so many of our newly found or renewed love of gardening. His legacy is so widespread and has made the world a better place. We should all be like Mr Donald and help and support anyone we can. Like you, I swore off the running a tiller and gardening again after moving out of my KY home and growing up. Mr Donald and his videos brought me back as I struggled with a small garden. My dad still chuckles every time he sees me in the garden. RIP WEBCAJUN. You were loved by many. Curt - aka NEWKYHOME

Thank you and we have missed you too. Keep up the great inspiring work that you do.

He was an awesome man. I loved his videos. Rest in peace Mr. Donald.

Webcajun was one of the first people we watched when we got started back to gardening. He has inspired so many. He was like everyone's uncle. Prayers for his family.

I watched all his video and yours about 2 years ago and it got me back into gardening. His personality reminded me of my father and he even looked a bit like Dad. I have missed his and your videos. Carry on the tradition Bobby. Keep that torch burning.

Noooooo! Donald and you have been my go-to people for advice and inspiration. I watch his DVD series each spring before I plant. Thank you Donald. And, thank you Bobby. I owe you both so much. I hope to shake your hand one day. Hopefully I won't have to say "I could kick my ass for not going over there." Thanks for popping a top in salute to one of my heroes. God Bless, Vivian Ann on the side of the mountain in northeast Tennessee

I have missed webcajun since his last video 2 years ago. He will be sorely missed.🙏🙏

WEBCAJUN REST WELL !! Your the greatest!!!

Just found this page lookin for some Old videos of Cajun Web that used to watch Years ago!! Just now finding out about his passing.....Thank You for posting and he knew you and other people loved him....RIP ....Maush Pau!!

Watched, and learned, from several of Donald's videos. Keep your gardening efforts going, and improve the environment for future generations.

I am lucky that I live 30 min from him. I visited him and brought him some beverages as he called them. We sat on the front porch talking about gardening, his life, and his wonderful wife Mary. They were great people and will be sadly missed. He was always willing to answer my questions and give me advice. I must have watch his videos at least 20 times and enjoyed everytime. He did a cooking video on some fresh shrimp I had brought him. Happy gardening and GOD bless you and your lovely wife.

I loved Donald. Missed him. We talked about airplanes and gardening. He’s in a better place. Love your stuff too God Bless

Wonderful tribute. Thanks for sharing.

Kind words from a good friend to a great man. Keep educating like he did, we love you Like we loved him. Never stop sharing your great talent to make things grow!

Rip Donald. I found your channel through his. I’ve learned so much over the years from him and the people he introduced us to and you are among them.

I had thought I had watched almost all the gardening videos on youtube but I had actually never heard of him. To me your are the original gardener so I appreciate that he inspired you to make all the great videos you have and inspired me.

Donald will be missed so much Bobby. Ty for sharing this information my friend!!

If my garden could be half as well organized, productive and beautiful as this gentleman's was, I would be a very happy gardener. Thank you Donald for the excellent videos and a glimpse at what a great garden looks like.

Bobby, I've learned so much from him. He always answered my questions for me. I've shared his channel and talked about him on my videos. He sure had a wonderful love for freedom and good old country life. Thanks for sharing. Thanks Donald!

May God have the greatest garden. Big D was the same age as my husband. God bless.

Bobby.....Donald thought the world of you as did all of us. Thank You for this tribute and keep up the legacy!. As for you Big D......well.......thank you sir. You were more than just a friend too all of us and I will miss you.

it’s amazing how a social media platform brings people together, people that might never meet. but we feel that we are neighbors or family or best friends. these channels that my family follow and watch daily are us catching up with one another. after all these years we still wait and follow your channel because you are a leader and inspiration to us. please carry on the guidance and humor of webcajun. he made me feel calm and not get caught up in so much complexities and not to rush and cause mistakes. rip donald. thanks bobby for everything

He was one of the first I started watching on KZfaq and you were the second one. I hope you continue because growing you're on food is going to be the most important thing anyone can know how to do in the next coming years. I hope your wife continues with her food preserving videos also. Hardly anybody knows how to preserve food nowadays and it is going to cost them there lives if they don't learn soon.

so sorry to hear this. I had been looking for new videos from him and often thought of how he was doing. Thanks for posting this. RIP Donald!!!! Thanks for your contribution!!!!!!

That was a touching tribute. Webcajun got me started and led me to your channel some years back. I'm glad to see you back on and took some of your ideas and ran with them. I'm still using your fertilizer mix to this day👍Well I'll get catched up on your videos and share a few of my own things with you pretty soon, so nice to see you posting again.

That is so sad. I subscribed to his channel back in the very early days from New Zealand. He taught me so much and was a joy to watch. He will be greatly missed.

thank you so much for making this video, both of you are what got me into gardening on a larger scale and it has become a part of my life I would never give up,

Very sad to hear of his passing. Twas a joy seeing him & learning from him. Thank you for letting us know. Thanks for sharing your memories. RIP WebCajun. *Hugs*. Another that i greatly miss was whendashtf. And others now gone.

Thank you for making this video. My husband and I just recently started watching this gentlemen, and starting noticing he hadn't made videos in 5 years. God bless!

He always answered my many questions on KZfaq. I still rewatch his videos to get inspiration I missed. He will be missed.

Thanks for the commentary, Me and Connie learned lots of Good information from Donald.I remember him planting with an earthway planter, his wife driving the kubota as Donald road on the back. He helped us calibrate the planter also, how to use a row hiller, the list just keeps on and on. An amazing man and his message is easily understood. RIP Donald and his wife. PS, Watch out Lucy!

I was pretty sad when ol dragonfly passed, really tore up thinking big D passed. Hope it was peaceful, and his family is coping well. He really created a great series of videos, and a great forum for gardeners all over the world. Thanks Bobby, for posting this. I came to find out you and Susan's channels from BayouGardener forum.

You and Donald were a huge part of my life when I started gardening. Today, I still watch the video and use the recipe for his pickled beets!

What a perfect tribute!! Back in the mid to late 2000’s Donald’s videos and the forum was the best down to earth gardening information you could find on the internet. A thank you goes out to him and all the wonderful people that were part of that group. A special thanks to Donald for having the vision, passion and the courage for all his postings. I’m sure he inspired countless number of people in their gardening journey. (Cgull)

I absolutely LOVED his channel and videos. I don't even have a garden (not able to where I am) and he just made me happy to watch him. He will definitely be missed. -he's the reason I found your channel because of him.!

I too was born in 1955, not far from where you live. I learned about growing things from my dad who when he was very young worked for a florist. Back in those days they grew there own flowers and plants and my dad learned way more than I will ever know about growing things. He tended many gardens with my help from a very early age. I picked a many of snaps and butterbeans and pulled a whole pile of weeds. The time and effort that you and Donald put into sharing your knowledge is the only way most people now days will ever learn how to be somewhat self sufficient. I’m so sorry to hear of webcajun passing and can’t think of anyone more sincere than yourself to pick up the torch and keep helping people to learn about the art of raising your own garden. Best wishes from a old Jarrett boy.

Wow! Thank you for this video. I now have tears trying to write this. I wondered what happen to him I watched every video of his. But the last two years have been hard for me. Not many videos. My husband had cancer and we had to say goodbye this April. So this is hard for me. Well done 👍 I feel the pain.

You’re shaking his hand and giving him a a Big HUG right now!!! Thanks for posting!!

A fine and fitting tribute to our friend and neighbor, Donald. He was the origin of many of us want to be Donald's. It was difficult the past few years thinking about how he so wanted to hop on that tractor and do his thing but couldn't. Now, he can plow the fields of Heaven.

Having not seen any mph gardener videos for a long time I assumed you were through. Hoping you were enjoying life with your new bride. Then this video pops up and after I get over being choked up I go look at your channel and WHOOPPEE-you’re back. So glad to see you back. Now you said that you were sorry that you’d never gone down to visit webcajun. I’d like to shake your hand one day soon as you have provided me with such help and inspiration.

Well said. I live in south Louisiana also and as gardeners we all know that every region has its own challenges and Donald was my “go to” on KZfaq. His simple but detailed explanations of topics taught me so much more than technique. I concur with many other viewers here that you have the same approach so keep it up Bobby. Donald had a joie de vivre and he shared it with all. We should all be grateful, I know I am.

He was a great man. I can tell you really liked him. I loved all his videos. And learned a lot. RIP big guy. And happy gardening to you. I just subscribed to you channel today. Look forward to your videos. God bless.

Can't believe it. What a loss. All of us KZfaqrs who garden owe him a debt of gratitude. Donald wasn't the only one who had faith in you. I wish I knew how many times I've watched his compost tea video. Lache pas!

Similar to the words you shared about Donald, your channel was my first subscription on KZfaq. You were my resource and inspiration many years ago on gardening and life. Because of you, Webcajun was my second. Years later, my wife & I found a property to call home in Texas where we created a large vegetable garden with chickens/ducks/geese. Thank you for sharing your experience, knowledge and wisdom ... inspiring us for something great.

Glad you posted this I hadn’t heard. He was an inspiration for sure. Take it easy Bobby I appreciate your videos too.

I started watching Donald videos about 10 years ago when I got back into gardening as a younger adult. I looked forward to each one of his new videos, and once in a while I'll go back and re-watch these videos and it will take me back to that point in my life 10 years ago. I had sent him my current YT profile picture to show him my garden, he responded and said I had a nice setup, I was very proud that Donald told me that. I still enjoy his videos and hopefully they will remain up on KZfaq. We all learned from Donald, and one way or the other wanted to be like him or do what he's doing. In fact Bobby, I found your Channel through Donald many years ago as well. Thank you webcajun for all your help over the years.

thank you mhp. i was just looking to see if cajun had posted any new videos, and i saw you, 6 months late. thank u both, for my own gardening endeavors

So very sorry to hear of his passing. I loved his videos, and would have loved to have known him personally. Thank you for all you do, y’all keep making them videos. Lache pas

Thank You for sharing.

RIP Donald. You were an inspiration to a lot of gardeners.

WebCajun were some of the first gardening videos I watched on KZfaq I actually checked his channel a couple of weeks ago to see if there were new videos. Ihave gone on to watch other gardeners since then including yours and I put your videos right up there with webcajuns so keep on keeping on.

Very sad, I watched him for several years and haven't thought about his videos since he stopped posting two years ago. Until this spring when I watched some of his videos when planting this years crop, and I wanna say he was a legend gardener. RIP Donald "webcajun" Ducote, and may the seeds that was planted grow for many years.

What a beautiful tribute......right up to, and including, the big can of Coors. You've done him proud, Bobby. I am so sorry for your loss.

Bobby you and Donald were a huge part of me getting into the youtube garden thing. I miss the old times....Carry the torch that Donald lit....RIP Donald....

I truly enjoyed watching his videos. I just watched the sweet corn planting video the other day. He was a great man and I am grateful he shared his knowledge with me through his videos.

Bobby you're so special. What a blessing to know men like you exist on Mother Earth!

Donald is the reason I started gardening and I patterned my gardening style from his.

RIP Donald ..You were one of my first u-tubers.. Donald loved how you made your gardening so simple ..Always looked forward to your uploads.. Prayers & Condolences to your family

I know this video was made a year ago, but I just found d you and seen this. Donald was a mentor for me. I found his videos and watched every single one. Even wrote him on occasion for help and he replied. I grew up to know what I needed to do garden wise and didn’t go looking for videos and I kinda lost track of Donald. This saddens me to hear this. He was truly a sweet caring soul. He is missed ❤️

Thank you Bobby for letting us know. I have watched many of his videos and he was just an old country boy. RIP

Thanks for letting us know about webcajun.

This video broke my heart when I saw the title. I had lucked up on Donald’s channel from the first. I’m tongue twisted with all the great things I can say about him and that I learned from him. That video that you mentioned just showing a day in the life was one of my favorites. The cooking video of purple hull peas with his famous snub nosed spoon was my most favorite. Ça c’est bon! I feel honored to have had a few interactions with him back and forth. Boy am I gon miss him but he will always be in my heart and a part of my gardening journey. “Lache pas a la patate!”

RIP, Web Cajun was my very first door opening into gardening videos on You Tube. I'm so sorry, I will miss him dearly. He taught me everything I know about gardening. Thank you for letting us know about this.

Was tilling my garden spot 2 days ago with the tractor and thought about him the whole time and how much he’s taught me over the years.

I was a friend of his for years and then things got busy. I finally go back and look him up and find this. A star has passed. He helped me so much with advice and seed exchanges. So sorry to see such a man and his wife pass. Nothing can convey it.

I’d never heard of him. Condolences and prayers to his family and friends. Heartfelt tribute to your friend here mhpgardner, much respect.

RIP Donald, I used to love watching your videos and I found that your voice was a long lost Grandpa reading a bedtime story to me prior to me going to sleep.

On your advice, through your videos, I started following Webcajun. I’m so sorry to hear he passed. He was a real neat fellow.

My heartfelt condolences to you. KZfaq has a unique way of creating families. Thanks to you, I found the charming WebCajun. I pray God folks your heart with peace. Keep his legacy alive.

What a great tribute to your friend Donald. Like you said "Bud" you could never fill his shoes. But....you can carry on your own channel and remember Donald and pay tribute to him. What a blessing that would be. He would be proud of you and it would keep his memory alive. Heres a toast one more time to "Donald" Take care and be safe in this crazy world right now....Gio out here in Bakersfield,California

Thank You Bobby for such a moving, loving eulogy to a man who was the King of small gardeners everywhere. Just to see him riding around in his golf cart in possibly the most beautiful home garden I have ever seen. When ever I had a problem with my plantings be it weeds or insects I always rushed to my computer to see what Donald had to say about it and how to fix it. He was an okra freak and raised enough to feed a small village..LOL. May he rest in peace and hopefully become the Lords gardener. Losh Pa Donald.

Thank you very much for this video. I followed him ,he will be missed. I have also been missing your videos. You are an inspiration to me , a 62 year old who started gardening because of you. Soo sorry!
