Stay tuned for a compilation/ marathon of past videos with Jim! That will be coming soon!

Jim, you will be missed! Thankfully your legacy lives on! We wish you well as a full time resident of Maine! Thank you Pete for introducing us to such an inspiration!
The north country is blessed to have Jim here!
I wish Pete would come up occasionally so Jim could teach us how best to garden here.
I came back home from Florida a few years ago, still haven't quite got the gardening down - wish I had had more time with my gardening elders back in the day.
Jim has the same wisdom they had, very few people still do.
Appreciate you Pete for bringing Jim to us and blessing us with the content of Jim over these years and his amazing story. Appreciate you brother.
It’s been an absolute pleasure Charles!
Thanks Jim ! I have enjoyed your videos over the last few years as I am a aging Florida boy of 71 years from Okeechobee to Merritt Island Fla have been a die hard organic gardener since 1962 in Brevard County . Good luck in your new home in Maine ! Happy Trails brother !😂❤
I am gonna miss Jim so much! He is a gem.
Dear brother Jim,
Thank you so much for sharing your gardening journey with us. All from your warm, loving heart. You have been such an inspiration ! Hopefully, Pete will come and visit you in Maine once in a while. This way we will get to see and hear you again.
A big thank you to you too, Pete, for making this possible !
Gonna to miss you Jim. You changed my life and perspective on my small and now very productive plot. Thank you for sharing your life's passion with us!
Thank you Mr. Kovaleski for sharing your dream 🙂🥰
Crap maaaan…..
Got choked up a little. Been watching you and Jim for years. Like saying goodbye to a very very close friend that moving away and don’t know when we’ll see eachother again. Time flies. Especially when we were spoiled with all this content, information, etc. from Jim and yourself Pete. Talk about a blessing. I am truly GRATEFUL for you guys. I mean that. Truly and humbly thank you guys. From all the way in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. Big Island of Hawaii. All the best Mr. Jim Kovaleski. Much love, aloha and tons of respect. All the best to you, Tanner and Pete!! Aloha brothers🤙🏼🙏🏼❤️✊🏼✊🏼✊🏼
Beautifully said!
Jim has touched so many lives, he is one in a million. I will be forever grateful to Pete and his crew for the videos, it was such a blessing that Jim chose to share his wisdom with us.
Thanks Pete for documenting and sharing ❤
I wish Jim had a channel in Maine!!
Great idea!
Appreciate you taking us along for the journey Pete! And for Jim, thanks for all the tips, tricks and terrestrial tales! Have fun playing in the dirt up there.
As a Florida boy I wanna meet you Jim. In fl 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Keep showing us how tanner is doing. Jim truly was my inspiration for gardening the way I do. Thanks for bringing Jim to us Pete 🙏🏽
Been watching for years. My whole front yard garden is because of you guys. Thanks so much for your work and expertise
Ive learned so much from your videos. You and Jim made a great team. You guys are good teachers.
We love you Jim! And thank you Pete for bringing it all to us!
Thank you, Jim, for sharing your knowledge and passion with us. We will miss you !
Man, time does fly. Thank you guys for all the knowledge and entertainment through the years. I know it’s changed a lot of lives.
Thank you, Pete, for introducing us to Jim. Jim has certainly been an inspiration for all suburbanites. He demonstrated that owning a small plot of land is a treasure-trove for growing your own sustainable garden. No excuses! Goodbye, Jim, and I wish you and your family the best while living in beautiful Maine.
It has been such a blessing that Jim chose to share a bit of his journey with us. Very few gardeners are so in tune with the earth and her needs, he is beyond a master gardener, and an extraordinary human.
I'm selfishly gutted that this is the last video of Jim in Florida, desperately hoping that there might be a future video from Maine. 🥹🙏🥲
Well done Jim! Thank you for everything 💖🪷💖
Miss you Jim! Hope we get to see you up north
The videos with Jim have been more than inspirational. My front yard was grass and is now a garden(7 50 foot beds). Two of my neighbors have done the same. My daughter and I have a small farm stand on the side of the road. Thank you for everything, Eric in Rhode Island
👏👏👏
😭 I've learned so much from Jim over the years I've been watching your videos. Thank you both for all of your work and for sharing this knowledge with so many!
Thank You All! Have always come away with a few tips and a HUGE smile after watching these videos
Thanks for being an inspiration to your community Jim. Spread the Love, Sow the future!
peace brothers and sisters..................two green thumbs up
Thanks for featuring Jim. I learned so much from these videos packed with practical growing enthusiasm! The fruits (and veggies) of his labor are the evidence of his success! Best wishes for the next chapters for both farms, Maine and Florida. Grow On!
Pete and Jim thank you so much for putting out these videos throughout the years. I've enjoyed watching them and learned a lot eventhough your climate is so different from where I live in the Netherlands. Hopefully Pete can visit Jim in Maine once in a while!
The Legend!!
boy im going to miss him. Good luck Jim.
Thanks Pete..I've learned more from you and Jim than I have in 30 years of gardening.
It has been gr8, m8! Au revoir… see you again… happy journey and stay healthy…
🍻 Johno
Maine is very welcoming to farmers and gardeners so I think he will fit in very well.
😢 definitely miss the Jim content from here on out but I know Pete will make it to Maine eventually!! Thank you for all the knowledge Jim and Pete. I’ve enjoyed seeing what’s growing on since the beginning ❤
You bet!
Thanks for the update Pete!! 🤙 excited to watch it now and again!
Pete, your reverent friendship with Jim has always produced such special educational videos, which I've always enjoyed. You're both so unique in your own wonderful niches. If by chance the future holds additional videos with Jim re-visiting Florida, or you visiting Jim in Maine, I would very much look forward to seeing those, as well as any videos of Tanner's ventures settling into his own niche. Thank you so much for always pressing forward, teaching as you go. It's so valuable!!!
Gosh, I hope it's possible for Pete to visit Jim and make a video or two about how Jim gardens in the north country!
It would be lovely to see more of Tanner too, it's not easy to follow in the footsteps of such a legend as Jim!
Good luck!!
Thanks, Jim!!!
Thanks Jim! God bless!
Loved every video every moment. Im starting mine on my porch and learning so much.. Thanks to you too Pete. It's been Real.. ❤
Thank you Pete, Jim and Tanner.
What an absolute inspiration and legend!! Thank you Jim for sharing your knowledge with us. Best of luck in your future!
I might go spread a load of compost in honor of Jims Florida masterpiece.
Well, Pete, now you’ve GOT to get up to Maine periodically to let us in on how/what Jim is doing!
Absolutely!
🙏💖🙏
Wow! We caught a glimpse of the senseis passing wisdom down to Tanner on the art of grafting. All joking aside you guys are great and should think about a podcast with all three of you. Jim you will be missed. Looking forward to seeing a tour of the farm up north and the transition of the Florida place with Tanner.
Thanks Pete, I'm a pretty new sub so Ill have to go back and watch the videos with Jim. Hoping to visit Green Dreams one day🌱
Hey Jim, enjoy the family!!!!!
Stay Blessed thanks for everything you contribute
Thanks Jim for all the knowledge and Pete and crew for the videos. Those old ones with the James Forest songs from 4-5 years ago I watched so many times while I was figuring out my farm. Take care everyone and live the good life.
Jim has so much wisdom in growing
Like that avocado talk, it's the same with an egg plant graft to a tobacco plant, 2crops if you smoke
Tanner seems like a cool guy
Great era.
We have been so lucky that Jim shared a bit of his wisdom with us - now it's up to us to continue gardening as he has shown us how to do.
Thanks jim❤
Great video brother Pete!!!!!!
Jim is an amazing person, a very knowledgeable gardener, is definitely going to be missed, brother❤ and I'm going to say it. and as far as Tanner, he definitely needs to listen to Jim. His wisdom and knowledge is priceless ❤
Great Video! Got me all emotional. Jim's a one of a kind kinda dude. I'm gonna go and watch some of classics that you two did.
Those videos are a real treasure!
Jim is a shining example of how we could choose to live as well as how we should treat Mother Earth.
I learned so much from Jim and he is a huge inspiration for me! Maybe he would let you make a video in Maine
I’ve learned so much from Jim going to miss these videos
I was just in Florida- I’m from Connecticut ! I thought he already left ! I missed him - Thank you for the videos Pete- Best to Tanner and Jim ❤
Awesome. I think this is the first time we (at least i ) have seen Pete being emotional in a video.
Plants managed to make some good friends here.
Geesh my aunt lived in that neighborhood! Shirley ave st? Thanks for all the info and i spiration, welcome back to new england!
Keep the Tanner videos coming!!
Florida's loss is Maine's gain. Thank you Jim, for sharing your passion and knowledge with us. You sure made your mark in Florida, and your legacy here lives on. You'll always have a place in Florida, in our hearts, and in our homestead if you decide to visit Florida in the future.
❤
Wow I can’t believe it
Thanks for all the memories
Jim, we have learned so much from you. Thank you for sharing all your knowledge. We will always remember that a gardener’s best tool is his shadow. Best wishes to you in Maine.
Learned a lot from jim! Got me scything...and i love soil blocks!
Appreciate you bring us updates over the years.
Best of luck to both Jim and Tanner!
Looking forward to updates on their solo projects although theres something to be said about the way their energies play off each other!
And the knowledge that gets kicked around between the three of you!
Thank you Jim! ❤
You will be deeply missed
Jim you will be missed! Thank you for all the tips! Be blessed
Cya Jim...its been wonderful watching and listening to you as you walk us through your garden... Take care...
Jim I am going to miss you. I am from Jackson MS. I love how you grow everything. Dream thank you for making videos
Thanks Peter, you and Jim got me through covid times. Hopefully there’s more to come 👍
Thanks Jim for the memories and for sharing all your knowledge with us. I hope we can still get updates on the farm and Jim's new place.
Best of luck to you both Jim and Tanner.
Thanks Jim! You’ve been a big inspiration and educator as to what’s possible. Safe travels!
Morel mushroom pickers might solve Tanners drying problem.
Cya Jim, you've been a gem in the learn to grow without water, using weeds for mulch & moisture. & the layout in the gardens is spectacular. Love how you've all maximised the crop area & minimised the walkways. ❤❤❤
Have prosperous travels to you Jim❤
Jim you inspired me and I loved hearing your methods of doing things! Best of luck with moving. Have a wonderful happy life!! ❤
Is he still planning on growing in ME? I'm going to miss the non-row planting. We use a tractor, so everything is in rows, but there is something magical about non straight lines and inter plantings in a veggie garden that I envy. Great last shot in the truck. Good luck to Tanner. I never know whether to encourage young folks to go into farming, or run the other way.
Many blessings to Pete, Jim, and now Tanner. So much gleaned over the years and hope you are able to check in with Tanner from time to time Pete to see what else he's incorporated to make the grounds even more abundant!
Pete, thanks for sharing Jim's knowledge with all of us! I have a small SHADY lot in an HOA community, so it has been challenging growing food. BUT I started helping at the middle school across from my home with the Future farmers of America program. We have planted a few fruit trees, improved a pollinator bed, yucca, sweet potatoes and even have watermelon growing this summer. Thanks for being so encouraging!
Change is so hard but always.jim your mom is gone now moving what a big move God bless you and all you do 👍
Thank you Pete for capturing Jim and his talents. I first found you through the Great American Farm Tour as I am a follower and supporter of Justin & Rebekka. I have since enjoyed your videos, specially ones with Jim. I hope Jim knows how inspiring he is for all of us gardeners and to see and learn, you can plant a garden anywhere. May God continue to bless you in this next chapter in your life.
jim is a legend , you guys made a bunch of awesome videos over the years ! it was inspirational for me thanks !
Would love some of that Mombasa grass looks abundant
Jim is a legend. Thanks Pete
He was an amazing gardener. He will be missed.
Yes, Jim is an extraordinary gardener as well as an extraordinary human. We have been very lucky he chose to share so much of his gardening wisdom with us!
he has so much knowledge. Its good see someone come in who will keep it going🥬🥒🫑🥦
Wow. Watching Jim drive away in Big Red gave me goosebumps. Wishing Jim all the best in Maine. I hope you continue to follow Tanner on his journey. Jim and his farm has been a huge inspiration for me, I’ll miss him! Maybe you can coach him to start his own RUclips channel from Maine. ❤❤❤❤
Oh, that would be a dream come true! But creating and maintaining a RUclips channel is a lot of frustrating technical work. Jim is a man of the earth, and walks a very different path.
Now if Pete were to visit Maine once or twice a season - that would be awesome! I am holding on to the hope that that dream comes true.💖🙏💖
Man i live nearby. I pass by his house on accident and it was always a treat to go by. Never knocked on his house to talk to him. But now I kinda wish I did. Newport richey will be losing a gem to the town.
At least Jim's place is going into good families hands...
Thank you Jim!
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh please nooooooo he will be greatly missed
😭😭😭
Pete, these videos of Jim inspired me to start vegetable gardening. So thanks and best of luck to both of you! I hope you continue to share Tanner’s journey ‘cause I need my Fla gardening fix.
Will we still get videos with Tanner? Also, will we ever see Jim again? Maybe in Maine if you have any plans going up there?
I hope you can visit Jim in Maine.
For left handed people there’s a “corn knife” at tractor supply I recommend
Happy days in Maine 🎉.
Don't forget to get a Down Jacket. Don't want the Floridian to🥶!
I've enjoyed your knowledge over the years🤗.
Will Jim continue to farm in Maine?
JO JO IN VT 💞
Where is your farm here in Maine? I am in Castine for the summer.
That's amazing!! Can you please add a link for the hand scythe? I looked everywhere online and could not find it. Thanks for the info and for sharing with us!!
Goodbye, Jimmy! 😢
What kind of hand sickle is that? How’s it working out? Safe Journeys Jim!
Safe journeys and keep pounding dirt in Maine!
What’s name of hand scythe? Where can I find it?
Them having 20% OM in their garden, brings up an interesting question. What % of OM is in a typical compost pile?
