P Allen Smith? I had completely forgot about this friend from the cable TV days. No insult intended. What a fun video this is. Everybody's enjoying themselves. Nicely done all around. Thank you creators from 2011.

One of my favorite P. Allen Smith videos! Colonial American history meets modern garden master.

[@victoriastevens7754]

great show. Williamsburg needs lots of friends. We talked to Christiana Campbell 4 years ago and she was wonderful
we go to Williamsburg twice a year and stay in the restored houses. Going again in February

I had the pleasure of growing up in Hampton Roads and Williamsburg was one of my favorite places. If you have not been to Bush Gardens go..it is amazing. just that alone is worth the vacation.

Actually, our first president was John Hanson, not George Washington (who took oath in 1789).

Over all this is a good recipe...but...the video recipe and the written recipe at not the same ingredients. We had to tweak it a bit to our liking. The written recipe could have been written better.
