We need one of these in every city and town.

Good idea, if it actually gets eaten, otherwise you just end up with a large pile of rotting stuff attracting all the disease carrying vermin from the city.

As a South Florida "native" I have to commend your awareness of local species. Just hearing how on point you are when you talk about katuk, longevity spinach, and all the cultivars that thrive in our climate made me glad someone is spreading this proper info.

so appreciative of this channel and grateful for your insight:))

what is your necklace?

There is a single Mexican family that has a monopoly on avocado exports and they export shit. But there are a ton of small farmers that make some of the most delicious avocados. Some of them are huge, the size of a baby's head. But they don't often get exported because of the avocado cartel. And yea, the family is associated with the drug cartel because they started their avocado business to launder money.

FYI, apples can be grown in any climate. They grow them in africa. Just have to strip the leaves and they will do "dormant" and then flower.

How much is admission?

John, I've lived in the SE (including FL) for 30 years and never knew about the Fruit and Spice Park. Thanks for sharing. I'm definitely planning on visiting when the mangos are in season.

John, I love your videos. But I feel like I can only retain a small fraction of the information that you give. I feel like most people will agree that they can't simply sit down and watch your videos. I could go into specifics, but I know it's a bit if your personality to bounce around to many different topics within a 10 minute line. I feel like your views and your points will be so much stronger if you tried to focus your videos. Just my point of view.

hello I like your video. I live in Springfield, MA I want to know that vegetables and fruits are good for planting in containers and sizes to have in my garden. Thanks.

Thanks for the video John! You're awesome. :3

My home!!! So glad you're making videos here!

Sadly they would just genetically engineer bananas, instead of giving us better stuff.
