Lemon grass in parts of the Caribbean, it's also called fever grass because it helps to reduce fevers.

[@johnamato8653]

Nice, I didn't know that! thanks

[@Bullboy_Adventures]

Plus, lemon grass tea is absolutely delicious

[@BeautifulEarthJa]

Yup. Im from 🇯🇲 we call it fevergrass.

[@SuperGbemisola]

From Nigeria, we call it lemon grass and we also use it to treat fevers

[@nancyfahey7518]

Lemon grass.
Just made some lemon grass and ginger tea for my husband's sore throat. He said ,"ahhh.""

[@sandralewis1689]

I love that you've ides outside what most people are generally listing. Thank you.

[@johnamato8653]

Thanks. There are other heat loving crops, but these are still 10 of my favorite!

[@srphm_]

8:37 🤣 you had me laughing at "the shadiest part" of your garden 🤣

[@sharonhoffer3599]

Great video, good luck with your channel, I’m thinking you have a cheeky sense of humour that just wants to pop out! And yes, it’s lemongrass 💛💛💛

[@iyaloonautende7355]

Awesome video! We are in summer now and I was having a hard time deciding what to plant. Keep it up. You are funny too. 🤣

[@johnamato8653]

Thank you for the kind words! I appreciate the support. Many more videos to come. I'm just getting started here

[@doraw7766]

Thank you for such a straight forward video. Every plant you named, I shook my head yes. I am growing 5 out of the 10 plant now and plan to sow/plant the other 5. Certainly appreciate your video. Thank you.

[@johnamato8653]

Thanks for watching!

[@rosewood513]

Excellent video, my faves are Okra, yard-long beans they never quit, and luffa, I will never have to grow them again I got so many. I also ate the young ones but I do prefer zucchini. Thank you I also live in the deep south.

[@margiemurray2147]

In your opinion what is the difference between the zucchini and the loofah eating wise? Any comments you have on the luffa would be helpful we live in the Deep Central South

[@creekriseoutdoors]

My crew loves when I grow Edamame too John. The summer garden looks great! Thanks for all the tips. Great video.

[@doreenmangru3490]

Thanks for sharing - love your video

[@Anne--Marie]

It's May 12th and i feel as though it's too late to plant some of these, but i am going to do it anyway. Thanks John!

[@geravdee]

I'm just seeing this video for the first time. I think the last plant is lemon grass. I grow it in a pot as well, and it can get pretty enormous. During covid time, I drank ginger & lemon grass tea with honey every day. I still do it on a regular basis. Thanks for the video. I learned a lot. 😊

[@TryGod7]

I live in the south too and it’s really hot right now! I like to garden and I found your video very helpful!

[@ififallithurtslea4170]

I can’t even get past the smell of eggplant to even attempt to eat it. I can’t even get close to the plants without feeling sick. I tried to make eggplant Parmesan with some of our garden eggplants and I couldn’t even do it. 😂

[@hydeparkacademy7107]

Perhaps you have a solanine allergy?

[@MBuu-ge4rq]

Last plant is lemon grass!🥳

[@iyaloonautende7355]

It’s lemon grass. I live in Namibia and it thrives here.

[@johnamato8653]

Yes. Very nice. Thanks for watching!

[@joannjagroop7468]

picking cucumbers already down here in Puerto Rico. that 's lemon grass... I grow it too.

[@johnamato8653]

Hello 👋 thanks for watching

[@flacoanemico5199]

I'm in apuerto Rico too ✌. I was going for the boston variety on cucumbers for pickling. Good luck

[@judyandfriends123]

love the video. I also live in the south, and this year has been one of the hottest on record. Thanks for the info!

[@johnamato8653]

Thanks for watching. 🥵

Thank you for your sharing, like the list plus the zinnia bonus :)

[@johnamato8653]

Thanks for watching!

[@danandkarenamato]

Great video John - just watched it again!!

[@tendergreenheart6793]

Thank you!

[@kennethpatterson4978]

Awesome video!!

[@TheTaoofEternalWar]

Do you plant your long beans in same spot or move them around every year? What do you add to soil for long beans? Your garden is amazing.

[@johnamato8653]

I do try to rotate crops as much as possible. I use the compost mulch method, so all I add to my soil each year is a 2” layer of compost. Thanks

[@marcogamez33]

I just watched this, thank you for all the great and straight forward info, you´re really good at doing videos, keep the good work !

[@nathanwood33]

Hi John. Thanks for creating this page. Just subscribed.

[@scottbillings4712]

I prefer growing the Japanese Eggplant, because its texture is more delicate than a large seedy eggplant and it has a distinct mild flavor. Stir fry with Thai Basil, sweet peppers, glass noodles, and a little shrimp for a real treat.

[@erictollett7420]

Love lemongrass I keep it around my patio

[@angelanelajuly2961]

Cool. That last plant was lemon grass.

[@johnamato8653]

Yes. Thanks for watching!

[@angelanelajuly2961]

I made the mistake of potting my lemon grass too small. It's exploding everywhere. 15 gat pots next time. Or let it take over the wild grass. Lemon grass is not as sharp

[@johac7637]

Im looking at heat loving gardens, in Arizona we get hotter, no humidity gets us.
Also ive finally got soil, not PH +8, 0.5% organics, got that to soil levels now, for humidity i have a dedicated mister on timer that helps at just sun up, and sundown. Im a stuborn gardener, now just being trying to outsmart bugs.

[@hannahtyler9197]

Hey whats that next to your sweet potato 😎🤣👀

[@erinvendetti5812]

[@ahmedmohamed6240]

Thank

[@arthurclarke5613]

Lemon grass/ fever grass. Yours looks great. Some tips please on growing . I live in Alabama and have tried several times no results. The shade of sun. Soil? We have clay. Do you add sand

[@johnamato8653]

We have sandy soil, so I don’t add any sand. I just add lots of compost. My lemongrass grows great in an area with about 8 hours of sun (in summer).

[@babystepsgarden6162]

Lemon Grass. 😊

[@jacobeparsels9251]

I accidentally read meat lovers and thought this was going to be a video about pizza toppings

[@johnamato8653]

Pizza video coming right up!

[@aihuecao3433]

Love your video! Thank you so much for your sharing!
Do sale loofah seeds?
Respectfully

[@alexisle7053]

Seem like summer is bean party

[@susandsilva1437]

Lemon grass

[@johnamato8653]

Correct!

[@user-sm3mg6hg8s]

Eggplant, sweet potatoes, hot peppers, okra, cow peas, asparagus beans, edamame, tomatillo, ginger, luffa

[@shalomtoday]

Bambara groundnuts

[@markhogan4730]

Would you recommend any of these in Thailand?

[@johnamato8653]

Yes. We have a hot and humid climate here as well.

[@gailcorley6888]

I want to grow more peppers. Where can I get some of those 23 varieties you planted. Stores have like 5 variety of peppers.

[@margiemurray2147]

If you haven't found any pepper seeds yet a couple of good places to try for seeds are Baker Creek rare Seed Company out of Missouri. the other one is MI Gardner out of Michigan they both have website and RUclips channels

[@levinaringoma]

Wow , i love your garden, how do you cook the tomatiloes. Am from kenya🇰🇪🇰🇪

[@elainegreer8096]

Tomatillos are a nightshade. In south Texas they are primarily used in making sauces(green enchilada sauce) as well as a base or addition for soups(chicken tortilla soup).

[@jillwilson6709]

Lemon grass? 🤔

[@dianabrown5029]

Lemon grass.

[@LadyGoza]

It's lemongrass. So my tomatillos are not happy in the sun. What do you recommend? I haven't gotten even one flower to become fruit, and they look half dead.

[@johnamato8653]

Hard to say without knowing more. They like full sun, but need good drainage and plenty of water when it’s hot. They will flower less in extreme heat, but the plants are resilient and could bounce back and produce in fall. Also be sure you have at least 2 plants, because tomatillos require pollination from plant to plant.

[@LadyGoza]

@@johnamato8653 Hi, yes, I think it could be the extreme heat. There are three of them planted along the fence. They flower, but the flower doesn’t turn into fruit. If they do bounce back I might either move them or put a shade cloth over them.

[@marilynngriffin5538]

Where do you place Scarlett runners?

[@johnamato8653]

Thanks for question. I don’t have any currently growing, but have in years past. They do love the warmth, however over 90 degrees and they may stop setting fruit. Here in my climate that means I have to start them by mid-spring in order to have healthy and loaded plants by early summer. They would struggle if I tried to start them too late. They are a perennial in many southern climates. Something I need to grow more of again. I still prefer yard long beans for production in the extreme heat.

[@pureenergy5136]

Is that a gigantic lemongrass??? That's my guess..

[@halcexon]

Lemmon Grass

[@denniskimmel6551]

What do you do to grow wonderful egg plants?

[@johnamato8653]

Good compost, and start them early - before the flea beetles attack the foliage on young plants. They are pretty easy to grow. I like the variety "Traviata" from Johnny's seeds

[@Faleh8539]

corn

[@wilsino78]

Lemon grass?

[@VickiRamsey]

Dracaena spikes or ponytail palm? I can't tell...😜

[@johnamato8653]

It's an edible crop. Think Thai food.

[@VickiRamsey]

Lemongrass?

[@ivahihopeful]

@@johnamato8653 I think lemongrass
