James, The answer to your question about what the point of growing something that you have to process is that it is the only way for most people to continue to keep eating out of the garden into the winter. It also helps when you get overwhelmed with a crop (like making tomato sauces when you have a million tomatoes instead of trying to eat ten pounds of tomatoes day to keep up with them during peak).

I think the point was about initially being able to eat the produce fresh, not about never processing them at all. Everyone (especially James) knows that there is usually a glut of just about everything, even if you try to stagger the planting. It makes sense to process and make your produce last beyond their natural season. But enjoying them fresh is best of all.

The only thing she likes that isn't meat or dairy are hazelnuts. In fact, she goes and collects them herself and then if I won't open them for her she cracks them open with her teeth. We had to have the vet come out once because she'd stuck a piece of shell up into her gums, the little dumbass.

With this one, I could go either way.... I find that Kohlrabi is very similar to broccoli stem - both need to be peeled, as the outer shell is very fibrous, both taste quite good either cooked or raw, and (at least to me) their flavor and texture are nearly identical. I certainly wouldn't say that I dislike Kohlrabi, but there's other stuff I like better, so I wouldn't put it on my "must grow" list, or recommend it for gardens where space is more limited.

I love your enthusiasm for gardening! You are refreshing to listen to! Your little Tuck is adorable too.

From your video, I’ve just found out what a friend gave me to eat when I had a low blood sugar episode in a very warm environment. The ground cherries helped me feel much revived within 15 to 20 minutes. It was enough for me to carry on until we were done, and I got some much needed rest and restoration over the next few days. I’m going to be planting ground cherries, ASAP!

The biggest plus is, it does not turn woody, stringy at all even in dry weather, it just grows on. At the end of the season it can be a bummer of up to 7-8kg. You can store it for winter. Eat it fresh, fried, cooked. I have tried many kinds of kohlrabi, this is the one to go with. Greetings to both of you from Europe! :)

Aronia's astringent properties like lemon is extremely detoxifying. Tart, sour or astringent fruits are what you would seek out if you were sick or need to heal a health issue. The ORAC value is bonkers. They are like medicine or medicinal.. Not everything is about flavor. Genetic information or 'software' in these berries will interact with your DNA in unbelievable ways with medicinal functionality. Polyphenols and anthocyanins, have some unbelievable benefits and they are found in unseen concentrations in Aronia. Some indigenous believed they had sacred healing powers. Perhaps researching these medical properties may change your criteria vs nutrient density and what crops could contribute to your wellbeing instead of flavors alone. Elderberry also has an impressive nutrient profile but Aronia is The King of superberries in my opinion.

That is hysterical, your dog’s character totally reflects yours when it comes to gardening

1) aronia berries 2) autumn olives 3) Armenian cucumber 4) goji Berry 5) kohlrabi Make sure you don’t miss Tuck digging a carrot out at 6:35 😁

Black goji is way sweeter and the health benefits have to contribute to your decision to grow things. Juiced is good too,

That was so stinking adorable. My family and I love watching tucks adventures and letting us in on what he eats. I had no idea dogs would eat fresh veg! Kisses to Tuck 😘 🐾🐾🐾

It's amusing to watch the little bugger go to work on a giant vegetable bigger than he is. I had a huge 24 pound Siamese cat that would go to work on vegetables, he devoured some spaghetti squash right off my plate when I turned around like a horse eating hay, but he'd always puke the vegetables back up so I was not too happy to see him devouring some produce hanging out of a grocery bag I when I wasn't looking as I knew what was to follow.

My dog, Tux, loves vegetables. Doesn't like celery, raw cabbage or dill pickles but other that he likes it. Cucumbers, green beans(I grow the long asparagus type) tomatoes are his favorites. I don't give him onions or garlic. He loves fruits too.

Thanks James...I was happy to learn about these undesirables.....Great info...Love how you treat your best friend Tuck..(like "a dog")....what a beautiful relationship! (One of the most "well adjusted" Yorkies I've seen) Blessings to you and yours.

I LOVE watching your pup garden with you! You can tell he is very loved.

I was surprised you don't like to grow kohl rabi, it's one of my favourites and I can barely see it in shops.

Ideas for using kohlrabi: slivered into soups, salads, coleslaw. Peel and eat it in thin slices with a little salt. Tastes like a cross between a raw potato and a cucumber. Slice it and dip in ranch dressing. I find the smaller young ones have a better texture than the very large one.

We grow that for the cows to eat. Its very tasty and handy when you are out with no food on the farm

I love Tuck's videos. I enjoy when James makes an appearance with garden info, too. ;)

I loved this video! I appreciated that you suggested an alternative to each of your choices 💚🌵🌱

I love your videos, I’m a beginner gardener and I can watch your videos everyday! Tuck is always fun to see in the garden, he’s adorable

Tuck has got to be the healthiest pup ever. He seems to love all veggies. I wish my boy would eat them.

Joe, its always a pleasure and education to stop by your channel.

Ground cherries are great, it's like unwrapping a present!

I love the little guy, Tuck, such a sweet little dog he’s definitely a star of your videos. Oh your gardening information is good too of course😁. I had to say good bye to my little dog Sally in January this year she was 17 and had a great life until she got really sick, we couldn’t let her suffer. I enjoy your videos for your gardening enthusiasm and knowledge.

Lyle, I feel your grief. A few years ago, my cat died in my arms of natural causes. I'd had her since she was smaller than my hand and she lived 21 years. I still miss her. People who don't have pets don't always understand how much they mean to you. I pray that your heart heals quickly and you can remember the good times without the feeling of loss.

Tuck is such a cutie and a wonderful gardening companion. You're so lucky to have him. Give him a nice pat from me, please. Thanks for another great info-filled vid! 🙏👍

The point of growing the Goji berry is that it contains polysaccharides that are not available in any other plant. It is a very medicinal beneficial plant and if you have to dehydrated in order to preserve the medicine then that is what you do. It is a highly medicinal plant. The juice is sold as a cure-all but I’m telling you about the polysaccharides.

I thought Goji Berries were fictional, they were used in some Pyramid Scheme Amway type scam in a subplot on HBO's Big Love series.

Nightowl2548 There is a specific brand of Himalayan Goji berries that can be identified specifically through spectrum analysis that contains all available polysaccharides within the breed of the go G Berry. Different varieties will have different polysaccharides but there was one in particular that had all of the polysaccharides and the first time I drink the juice I instantly felt an amazing sensation throughout my chest and my body. I was a smoker. I thought it was placebo or something. I bought a bottle and told my friend to drink it. He told me he felt it all through his body in his arms. I later found out years later that he was an IV drug user. This was when I was in college.

Nightowl2548 and I asked another friend to try it he was a smoker and he said he felt it in his chest as well. These were people I trusted that I was close to. If you can find the brand of Goji with that verified spectrum analysis I would highly recommend it. It was a very thick white bottle that you could not see through. The juice tastes amazing. It’s rather expensive but it’s a nice treat every once in a while

Haha! I agree! Kohlrabi is great eating. I am from Malaysia, our lowlands tropical climate not suitable for growing kohlrabi but still we can find it in the market, they grow it in Malaysia's cool mountains, I'd buy them if I see them, one of my favorites too..

I agree it's one of my favorites as well. Roasted, grated in a slaw, lacto-fermented like sauerkraut. So many uses. The flavor reminds of broccoli stocks.

Thanks for providing good alternatives as well

Normally I would never listen to someone from New Jersey, but you’ve definitely won over my heart. Love your channel! 😆

The tender stem tips and leaves of goji are a flavorful green, one of our favorites in the garden.

Love seeing Tuck in the garden.

Your channel ROCKS!!! Keep the GREAT CONTENT COMING!!!

Aunt Mollies are a hit for my family, first year growing them and will continue to grow from now on. Going to try making jam from them... great video 👍👍
