Never thought watching an old dude pic greens and bike them round to the local store would make me feel so good - Jim is the man - watching this soothed my soul - thanks for that Pete - big love x
@@PeteKanarisGreenDreamsFL I just want to thank you for the videos that you do. Believe it or not, the majority of people that complain would never say anything to your face. Only because they are able to be unknown to you are they able to complain. The majority of us that take the time to watch, dont even comment. We just want to absorb as much information as we can in a short time so that we can move on and get s&!# done. Grow on my friend.😁
But that's what we do on the internet. We nitpick and criticize and tell everyone they are wrong and we are right. Otherwise, we might as well shut this whole shabang down.
@Sean Steele I'd think more Jims would mean less need for time wasting programmed exercise. You can get all those gains while making financial gains, silly.
I love that his front yard is his garden. Everything looks so healthy and abundant. I would rather be growing veggies in my front yard than wasting water on landscaping....damn HOA!!!!
cdhall124 Start a campaign to get the rules changed. This is the wave of the future. Growing our own food with out chemicals and pesticides, lowering emissions, harvesting rain water. We need this to become the norm for our future generations sakes.
ogadl ogadl Yeah but if you think the goat sacrificing secret society corporate currency worshippers would let that ever happen, then you’re in for a shock. Why let people live free when you can keep them penned in a big city like cattle and give them debts and jobs to pay those debts. Then you can give them enough superficial amenities to have them believe it was all worth it, and get them to raise the next wave just the same. Civilisation can be both tremendous and beautiful but also dark, squalid and reductive to the human spirit outside of its natural habitat.
This kind of life is so appealing to me; I'm slowly starting to grow my own little veggie garden here on my rooftop in Mexico City. Thank you, Jim for being such an inspiring soul and sharing your knowledge with the world!
That's how everyone should live! Chilling a few hours a day in the garden and living the live without having to work 8-12 hours a day and just eating overpriced shit food mixed with additives to make you addicted
@@PeteKanarisGreenDreamsFL Nietzsche said "if you don't have at least 2/3 of your awake daytime for you, you are a slave of someone" In my opinion that's totally true!
This is how everyone used to live in the US before Columbo ruined it. You'd farm some stuff and trade with others who were farming what your weren't, hunt for your meat or go fishing. You'd find an empty piece of land and just chop down some trees and build a house no taxes no realtors no inspectors building permits mortgages loan officers interest land surveys nothing just find a spot and live.
@@PeteKanarisGreenDreamsFL i agree I always ask people who claim they love their job if they would do it for free. I guess a US President perhaps as I'm sure Trump made more out of office than they pay him in office.
Trying to grow some weed Lmao just kidding. But I'm going to start to grow my own little food and herb (not the smokable kind haha) garden real soon soon 😁🙏🥬🌶🥑🍒🍇🍓🥭
This is the life, I’m for it all the way but when you tell people you wanna live like this they look at you crazy. Maannn this is all I need, with the exception of a canabis plant or two in the back, (for my own personal use) I’ll be STRAIGHT! 😂
I have learned to avoid telling people my plans and just do them. Those same skeptics are usually the ones who are blown away by the results and the ones who also get in the way anyway. It's better not to tell them. Certain people are project killers
Yahwo - A dream job for me too! I'm gonna look into this here in Toronto, Ontario, where I live. I already do ornamental gardening gigs for people, so maybe I'm gonna put ads out for starting and/or running people veggie gardens for them too (since I don't have land of my own right now). Could turn it into having their kids around for garden help and education "baby-sitting" too.
Its natural man, all the bullshit of the world today and this man is growing his own food, and learning, and trading his harvests to make a living. I myself am looking to become self sufficient, as I get older, with my sons I want them to learn the things I never did, and that now seems more important than anything, and thats taking pride in what I do and being able to live that way and my boys learning what patients and love can create, life and food and happiness.
That's because he's probably growing some damn good herbal medicine that keeps him relaxed. They haven't shown his true "victory crop" lol Good for him.
We live 5 minutes from downtown Newport Richey, I bought a bunch of kale and greens from Wright's Framers Market last week, I am sure it was Jim's veggies, so glad to see this here in Newport Richey🌱🌱🌱🥕🥕🌽🌽
Hey there Jim, from California. I love what you are doing, keep your riding bike and growing! I have a much smaller garden I will send you some images soon. I ride a bike as well. We need more people riding a bike and growing food.
I have been gardening for 50 years in a wide range of climates. I learned a lot from Jim in your video. Nice job on flow, music, early morning light? Really cool guy, loved the bike delivery.
Jim is definitely inspiring and laid back all at the same time....thanks to you and Justin for bringing such a soul into our homes to help us learn and grow as gardeners
Pete, you and Jim make it look too easy! It's a "lifestyle and lifetime " commitment. Thank you both for your hard work, and thank you for the lifetime investment of betterment of your fellow man.
Jim is like a modern day Johnny Appleseed...lol. My wife bought some of his Maine squash in Florida and it was awesome! I didn’t know it was from but I asked her where she bought, and she said from the guy you watch on RUclips.
Thank you Gentlemen! I buy Jim's produce at Wright's and Tasty Tuesday's market, it is beautiful and vibrant and so is Jim! There is a lot more to being healthy than eating only one food, grown only one way. Eating a variety of raw foods and being happy seems to be the best medicine. Blessings!
I wish I had a neighbour like Jim. His knowledge of the cultivation of vegetables would be so inspiring. In fact, by the end of this week the lawn in my backyard will be dug up in preparation for my own vegetable plot. Thank you so much Jim for this video. I am retired and realise I have been wasting retirement years at the expense of my health and sanity. This video is the boot up the rear I needed.
Oh Joy! Joy! He is the master of the market garden. What I would give to spend the day with him by myself! Just think of all the things you could learn with him! Actually I would love to spend a whole year with him, just following him around and observing his genius!
I could watch this video a hundred times, this is inspiring and had helped me start my own backyard garden and it is organic a few weeks ago started with harvesting
This guy is amazing! I loved seeing him bicycle to the natural store with his veggies. I wish I lived near him to learn more about his gardens. I found his channel just today. I’m a new subby and will “like” it for life! Thank-you sooo much!
I just ran into this video. Nice! The way every step he took was shared with us made me feel like I were there. I like how the camera was zoomed into the greens👍
The most impressive thing is that he is handpicking the best food, rinsing it with care and I 'm sure carefully and sustainably packaging it. The best is obviously to grow your own food but for those who can't, this guy is pure gold! 🤗💖🌟
Now that's a Great guy with a Great garden. Must be nice to have that garden in Jan., I can't get a spade in the ground in Jan. Love the way he makes the bouquets, nothing better then a variety in life.
This is a great story of prosperity and eco-friendliness. You definitely deserve the over 1 million views. The farmer really is living a dream of sorts. He's trim, and gets to make money doing a great service. The customers of the store are great too for supporting local agriculture. Truly inspiring stuff. Say, how does he deal with bugs eating his vegetables? Surely there must be some predators. His crops look flawless. How does he fertilize the soil? Where does he get the mulch from? Does he buy seeds for save them? Where does he buy his sprouting soil?
Pete these videos of you and Jim are so natural and watchable. The banter, the way so much useful information comes out just from chatting between you two shows your years of friendship and experience. Jim, you're just an amazing inspiration. The beauty of your productive, abundant, urban gardens is astounding 🌸
Hard to explain to my parents that Jim is living the life that i dream of, but might as well get a degree first to keep them happy since there is plenty of time ;)
Save money and time... Buy land buy something and work it for a year then see if you want a degree. I did it and am happy and blessed with a great life here in Tasmania Australia. Parents are happy after 22 years

I basically turned 180 degrees in career interests. Thanks for your insight.
@@philippe9604 Hahaa I was in a similar situation... How about you do both. Start with googling woofers. I am sure that you are young enough to travel? Where I live it's a good place to start.

Let go of the western 9/5 philosophy that screws with mental health 😁 and start.. Just start
Rockin' it Jim and Pete! Great filming Pete, esp. getting Jim on the bike. I'm part of the Tarpon Springs CSA Jim delivers to on Friday mornings and I can tell you I am not looking forward to Jim leaving FL for his annual summer farming in Maine. Proud to be a part of the Central FL collective of gardeners and veggie eaters.
@@PeteKanarisGreenDreamsFL Exactly. I'm happy you commented 😀.I love to grow vegetables too By the inspiration I've started to grow vegetables in pots..small baskets and started with onion..garlic..spinach...coriander..bittergourd ☺
Oh yeah - I think I recall you mentioning this before actually. The soil there must be excellent then..and as d hamby said, mulch! Beautiful looking crops.
Mulch! Retains moisture, when broken down provides nutrients, stops weeds, and keeps the soil cool for the plants AND BENEFICIAL critters, including worms, who fertilize your soil for the plants. If the whole organism of the garden is happy and balanced, sickness and even bad bugs don't strike or do minimal damage. It's the same as with humans: when you're run down and your immune system is weak, the same bug that doesn't affect others gets you sick. Also, companion planting helps to prevent bugs from finding a host. Making the garden inviting for beneficial insects and birds who eat the bad bugs helps too. If you have chickens, feed them only garden scraps in the afternoon/eve and starve them for protein and then release them for the last hour or two of day light into your fully ESTABLISHED veggie garden (one just like Jim's, not a freshly planted one, where the chickens would scratch out, trample, snack on .. young seedlings)--they'll clean it of bugs, slugs, etc in no time.
Pete! An amazing video on an amazing operation. Invaluable content here bro. Cheers to soon getting ALL the attention your hard work and quality content deserves.
Justin Rhodes thank you my friend! I feel so blessed to capture this content and share it with the world. It was riding your coattails that got me here brother 👊
I've been on a few Jim binges to date ... all thanks to the both of you for the video introductions. It started cause i was searching for scythe vids, to my surprise i see Jim and had to do a double take ... he looked just like my old roommate Jerry ... hahahaa. Then Jim's passion had me mesmerized and pulled in like the tractor beams of old. Thankyou for the amazing journey with yer family in the bus Justin Rhodes ... & Pete Kanaris - ya've got the incredible gift ... keep on doing what ya do for the world my man. Oh ... we need more of the wide brim hats!?!?! Skin protection promotion is the king. Gonna pound dirt ... when the snow melts up here in BC interior baby. Kukstemc (thankyou) again for bringing me to see Jim K. TC
Just an advice: if you haven't done intensive hardening like this, know that it is physically demanding. HOWEVER, your body may feel the workout at the beginning of the season (especially if you haven't been active prior to the growing season), but in a few weeks you become stronger and a month later you're super fit and feel no strain at all working long hours (if need be, depending on the size of your garden).
There are people with acres of land. And they never grow a garden. And here this brother has only an little lot and growing so much food. Like I say too those who will listen. There should be gardens all over the world. Fruit trees for miles colorful thing's growing every where. No one should ever go hungry. No one should not have too depend on a 9 to 5 just too be able too afford food. And I'm not speaking of blood food's or process food's that is not soul food. Soul beings eat colorful food's. Much love brother, and what a great love for that you do.
Do you know how beautiful & amazing our mother earth will be if we all grew food in our yards, took care of nature & our animals. Its something you can only dream of. Great job Jim. & thank you Pete for this. Very refreshing.
Hello sir I am from NAGALAND, a land of plenty yet here people are not preseving nature. How encouraging and inspiring to see this content. It makes me more inspired to do more for nature... So much to learn from this video.
I started living a part of my dream last year here in Toronto, Ontario, in a bit different form though: I'm doing the gardening for people who can't or don't know how (since I don't have a land of my own right now). Last year it was ornamental gardening, this year I'm also going to advertise vegetable/green/herb .. gigs.
I noticed people who do gardens are very calm and friendly... I guess connecting with nature makes you happy and just.
Jhie Jhie Morera 💜
Yeah he's very calm and seems like a very nice person. I wish I had a garden someday.
Peter Parker start with pots or even plastic bags. I’m growing cucumbers and winter squash in Walmart bags to prove you can. Everything looks great. 👍
@@catherinegrace2366 I'm doing the same thing with containers growing potatoes and beans
Luke Boswell the cucumbers and squash I have in the Walmart bags are still looking strong!
People say that RUclips doesn’t change the world yet it has inspired many to start gardening which in turn provides good food and reduces emissions
Word! 🙌
Now that's saying something!!
You tube rocks! It’s more educational than school. We learn from each other’s greatness or stupidity.
Do you use the Square Foot garden method. I do, easier to plot and manage for me.
NOT those Y.T. social-communist but people who share their knowledge on their videos

Best utilization of a front yard that I have ever seen!
YES_BUT ZONING_LAWS *Can't Do Garden @Front lawn EVERYWHERE ¥

I would love a walk in that garden every morning while a mug of coffee on my hands sipping while enjoying the fresh air and smell. My dream life ....
Mine too

Rockin' it Jim and Pete! Great filming Pete, esp. getting Jim on the bike. I'm part of the Tarpon Springs CSA Jim delivers to on Friday mornings and I can tell you I am not looking forward to Jim leaving FL for his annual summer farming in Maine. Proud to be a part of the Central FL collective of gardeners and veggie eaters.
Thanks Siobhan! Thought you might like those tricks 😉. Enjoy Jim's amazing veggies! :)
I love how chill Jim is. Totally real, no spin.
He is the real deal
Best video ever for me
Thank u 🌹
I want to live my life like this.😢 He's his own boss
This is living🙌
@@PeteKanarisGreenDreamsFL Exactly. I'm happy you commented 😀.I love to grow vegetables too By the inspiration I've started to grow vegetables in pots..small baskets and started with onion..garlic..spinach...coriander..bittergourd ☺
@Shevua Tov Thankyou ♥️
Hes living my dream life.How does he keep it so lush,green, and especially bug free?
Tons of mulch and hard work.
And a lot of water, especially the radishes.. 💧💧💧💧💧
FlowerGrower Smith actually Jim rarely waters. I can address this more in the next video.
Oh yeah - I think I recall you mentioning this before actually. The soil there must be excellent then..and as d hamby said, mulch! Beautiful looking crops.
Mulch! Retains moisture, when broken down provides nutrients, stops weeds, and keeps the soil cool for the plants AND BENEFICIAL critters, including worms, who fertilize your soil for the plants. If the whole organism of the garden is happy and balanced, sickness and even bad bugs don't strike or do minimal damage. It's the same as with humans: when you're run down and your immune system is weak, the same bug that doesn't affect others gets you sick. Also, companion planting helps to prevent bugs from finding a host. Making the garden inviting for beneficial insects and birds who eat the bad bugs helps too. If you have chickens, feed them only garden scraps in the afternoon/eve and starve them for protein and then release them for the last hour or two of day light into your fully ESTABLISHED veggie garden (one just like Jim's, not a freshly planted one, where the chickens would scratch out, trample, snack on .. young seedlings)--they'll clean it of bugs, slugs, etc in no time.
Pete! An amazing video on an amazing operation. Invaluable content here bro. Cheers to soon getting ALL the attention your hard work and quality content deserves.
Justin Rhodes thank you my friend! I feel so blessed to capture this content and share it with the world. It was riding your coattails that got me here brother 👊
I've been on a few Jim binges to date ... all thanks to the both of you for the video introductions. It started cause i was searching for scythe vids, to my surprise i see Jim and had to do a double take ... he looked just like my old roommate Jerry ... hahahaa. Then Jim's passion had me mesmerized and pulled in like the tractor beams of old.
Thankyou for the amazing journey with yer family in the bus Justin Rhodes ... & Pete Kanaris - ya've got the incredible gift ... keep on doing what ya do for the world my man. Oh ... we need more of the wide brim hats!?!?! Skin protection promotion is the king.
Gonna pound dirt ... when the snow melts up here in BC interior baby.
Kukstemc (thankyou) again for bringing me to see Jim K.

@@SHUSWAPMAN Thanks man! Lots of new merchandise in the works bro. Check me out on IG for the latest. #dirt
This is what life is all about, growing your own food and sell the surplus.
Florida legend. He's teaching if you're listening.
This is quite an inspiration for me for a retirement gig...thanks for sharing!

Just an advice: if you haven't done intensive hardening like this, know that it is physically demanding. HOWEVER, your body may feel the workout at the beginning of the season (especially if you haven't been active prior to the growing season), but in a few weeks you become stronger and a month later you're super fit and feel no strain at all working long hours (if need be, depending on the size of your garden).
Great video! Beautiful visuals, keeping food of life simple and meaningful...Thanks for your generosity of time and education
🙌
There are people with acres of land. And they never grow a garden. And here this brother has only an little lot and growing so much food. Like I say too those who will listen. There should be gardens all over the world. Fruit trees for miles colorful thing's growing every where. No one should ever go hungry. No one should not have too depend on a 9 to 5 just too be able too afford food. And I'm not speaking of blood food's or process food's that is not soul food. Soul beings eat colorful food's. Much love brother, and what a great love for that you do.
🙌🙌🙌
It would shut down big FMCG Giants , they would never promote sustainability
We would be SHUT DOWN....... big brother won’t like it......if we find happiness too......that will make them MORE Angry........sad, but True
True , we should support people like Jim !....such a simple & hard working person!... keep on!..
Do you know how beautiful & amazing our mother earth will be if we all grew food in our yards, took care of nature & our animals. Its something you can only dream of. Great job Jim. & thank you Pete for this. Very refreshing.
🙌
I've never seen a front yard quite like that. Maybe it's too cold up here in Minnesota. We have a few front yard raised beds, but this is incredible
Always love your videos with Jim.
Great work Pete!
Eden Homestead thanks buddy!
Amazing. Much Respect.
This guy has such an awesome set up with his garden and selling to local market , good for him , we need more of this
Hello sir I am from NAGALAND, a land of plenty yet here people are not preseving nature.
How encouraging and inspiring to see this content. It makes me more inspired to do more for nature... So much to learn from this video.
Got to love people. It’s not hgtv peps. Your gonna get some ambiance noise. Anyway, Nice to see Jim again and great job on this years garden.
Our Florida Garden thank you! I need to tell myself that more often.
good iam
I love his seedling method with the mini-pots being plugged into exact holes in larger pots as they grow... Does that system have a name?
It really works too. I don’t think there’s a special name for it other than going from Mini’s to large.
Soil blocking
Been waiting for this one! Love Jim! You too Pete!
Thanks! Well overdue and much more to come :)
You are a superman ,I wish you could share your inner life to help others succeeding in this very important way of life.
This was my first Jim K video. Having seen several others...just beautiful.
He's living my dream!! Love this!!
I started living a part of my dream last year here in Toronto, Ontario, in a bit different form though: I'm doing the gardening for people who can't or don't know how (since I don't have a land of my own right now). Last year it was ornamental gardening, this year I'm also going to advertise vegetable/green/herb .. gigs.
Beautiful garden sir
Heck yeah man right on , great vibes great people great crops 🙌, right on Pete
Thanks man! 👊
Thanks for the inspiration! My Family lived in Eastport for many years. Grandma Joan and Grandpa Bill.
And Wintered in Eau Gallie
Jim makes my heart happy for some reason. I wish he was my neighbor. 💛
Yuna Lee me too! 😊
This is awesome! It's basically my dream he's living if you include tomatoes and cannabis
Wow this was so inspiring and beautiful ❤️
Stay Hydrated and Mind Your Business glad you enjoyed!
I admire your work and especially the growing the moringa pods part I'm an indian too and I know how it would have felt to get moringa pods in America
Wow...i now have drip irrigation tube too. Will get in together this spring. Soaker hoses too often blow out. Mmmm Jims gardens are great!
And people love movie stars and athletes. This guy should get praise like they do. Hes growing food and making money! He can FEED YOU!!!
