  1. It was written in many forms, for many shall harvest. Have you had a good new auld year’s eve?

  3. I found it interesting. But then I’m not ‘serious’ about it. It is more about having fun and enjoying oneself and the show. I get my food at the store, and just browse the videos. You seem to be pissed off over a hobby.

  5. Nice try. Keep it up check out esteembpo + com for social media marketing.

  6. I love this lecture. I’m really glad to find it. I’m a UC Berkeley grad, and love the UC system in general. My wife and I are getting into Gardening.
    I’ve looked at all sorts of “How to grow vegetables” books and videos.

    This one is the best. And, to the idiot below criticizing this video: where did you graduate college? Sacramento community college? Anyone can be a critic….it’s so easy, isn’t it. Shut up! Idiot!

    This video is GREAT!!!

  7. I am sorry for misunderstanding you. Are you involved in the Californian wine trade?

  8. Friend, do not take it personal. your knowledge is not you and I am only speaking against the facts the vid contains and against the title.

    this video carries the name of the most prestigious Ag University in California and it is Not okay that the pesticide info in it is inaccurate. Also, it is titled in a way that portrays it as comprehensive. it is not. I am an ag person in California and it offends me.

    but You do not offend me.

  11. Cakes, you may be right, but this kin’o’ mental cruelty wus bad eneuch commin fae ither weans whun ye gane tae school, but whun the teachers join’t in this kin’ o’ ill fashion’t cruelty it pits a mark on ye for the rest o’ yer deys an it’s ill tae hae onythin but a suspeeshun for ony sae criet larnit folk way there fancy Inglish tongues whut they be tae get aff a whin stane for they niver got them roon here. Anyway, did you enjoy the video?

  14. He also represents freeze dates as being things that change..HELL NO..as ANYONE who actually lives there OR looks at charts can tell you.

    it’s 42 minutes into it and he has YET to mention fertilizer. only once he has mentioned water and he said it varies.

    maybe label it for what it is, just some hobbiest rambling about various topics.

  15. this lecture should be taken down or it’s title needs to be changed. It is represented as a comprehensive guide..but it is far from it. some of it is actually dangerously misleading, for instance the fact that he said it is okay to use one pesticide dispenser for all mixes.

  16. Wow great video! If anyone wants a free vegetable gardening guide check out my profile.

  18. Organic gardening is the healthy way to grow, eat & respect the enviornment & earth! Adding poisons to soil & foods is one of the most harmfully short-sighted choices with regard to modern meddling with nature.

  20. We use a few tricks to get through our short growing season here in the UK that a few of you in warmer climates can take advantage of. Over wintering vegetables is one of them, broad beans if you might grow ok there too.

    Another trick is cherry, bush type tomatoes. planted out right at the beginning of the season they ripen so fast (being small) that you can be eating them in no time at all.
