The amount of dad jokes alone deserves him a subscription, let alone the knowledge that he shares and his storytelling based on his own life. Stay healthy!!

Man this guy is a classic, never thought I’d enjoy a video about gardening but here we are

If the world was populated by more guys like him, there would be world peace, little or no disease and a lot more joy

"When I think about onions, it brings tears to my eyes" 🤣 lol

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.

CHOCKER UP THE BLOCKER there were so many little gems sprinkled through this video but this one was the best great vid, trying to make the transition from houseplants to actual food and this is very helpful!

“When I think about onions, it brings tears to my eyes”. 😄😄

“When I think about onions it brings tears to my eyes” Immediate thumbs up

I don't just love your content, I love the AUDIENCE. Yes guys, I enjoy reading all the comments. I'm sure he does too. 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.

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!

I'm not sure how I got here, but I'm TOTALLY staying. I loved this guy.

Excellent video! Packed full of great info! 0:39 Lettuce 1:22 Carrots 2:28 Cabbage 3:41 Beetroot (beets) 4:50 Onions 5:55 Cucumber 7:13 Peas 8:00 Beans 9:07 Tomatoes 10:44 Potatoes

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.

Mark, I like your australian accent but you pronounce in german also very well. Thanks for all your hints. Wish I had such garden space and similar climate to grow most of my own food.

My grandfather would hand till an acre of land every year and plant most of these. He also had 5 honey bee hives. He lived to be 95 and was still doing this until he was 94.

I wouldn't take away from your top 10 vegetables but I would always grow a variety of herbs to use to cook with these 10 top vegetables.

Awesome list! Since I'm in Brazil my list would be a bit different, chuchu (chayote), couve (kale) and aipim (cassava) are very easy and cheap to grow in the climate that I live, and my parents actually have been growing them for years.
