Hi Migardener. I live in an agricultural village in the Caribbean. I love gardening. And I am delighted by your love and enthusiasm for what you do. I also love your generosity and wanting to put smiles on the faces of others. Keep this up and God continue to bless and keep you and your loved ones.....
*Totally agree, harvest is the BEST TIME of gardening. Enjoy the fruits of our labor* never seen / planted yellow zucchini before, we grew the green ones, the giant ones
This time of year is awesome. I have been feeding my wife's mother and sisters plus all the city employees down at city hall. They are almost ready to go on strike if I bring them any more eggplant, cucumbers, peppers or tomatoes. My chest freezer is full and I have been pickling and canning whatever I can. Today I am putting up tomatoes. Thanks for posting and have a great day!
Congratulations Luke, you have done well. God is good! What a wonderful dinner that cabbage and new potatoes would make. I actually JUICE my greens that I don't eat in salads or recipes. The green juice is then put in small containers, stacked in the freezer, I will pull them out during the winter and use them in my smoothies and juice when greens are so terrible expensive and yucky from the store! We love you!
Right on, Luke! A dream come true for you to see these pounds and pounds harvested from your garden and a true joy to give it away! You've inspired me to plant some more chard - my plants have been going strong for three years, but I need some more right outside my back door!
CaliKim29 Garden & Home DIY Don't plant some... come get some! haha help! If you stand on a ladder, you might be able to see the tops of my swiss chard from your house.
Its so great to be getting the wholesome harvest..... not many are lucky with fruitful yield after sincere hard work and passion....your thumbs are green and blessed......i had a fulfilled happiness going around your garden..... bless you.
Hey, love the video and the harvest! I just want to say thank you for being kind and giving the food away instead of selling. We are starting our first garden this year and if we ever have extra, we plan to donate and give it away (after canning of course) instead of selling. Our friends and family always ask why wouldn't we just sell it, so I guess they just don't get it.
OneYardRevolution Thank you! I will tell you what, there is a noticeable difference in the flavor of vegetables this year. I can't wait for my Brix tester to come in.. it has been 2 weeks! I could have drove there and picked it up by now! hehe
STUFF A couple blossoms a with herbed goat cheese coat in a bit of panko+ cornstarch and shallow fry. yum! so glad you also share, I share at church and also with my local food pantry, they can always use more.
I have recently begun buying organic produce at the store..INSANE prices..you just picked about 15.00! Now I've found You Luke..no more high prices..between you, me and Trifecta..yes my friend I will grow big
Swiss chad is one of my favorite vegis. It tastes same even better than spinach and cook faster than spinach. I planted one year that was bi-annual vegis.
Great garden. When you have lots of something juicing is the best way to consume them. My dad used to cover it(-) under the plastic,(using wires to keep the plastic high, like mini hot house) for cold winters and we always had fresh greens for winter.
I just love how your wonderful Organic Gardens has produced a blessed Harvest. You have some much to share with others. I do containers and your tips have been amazing for me. Blessings always from: Omaha, Nebraska Zone#5
Swiss chard and beets are in the goosefoot family, chard isn't just a bulbless beet. They share a family tree but the flavor, texture and nutrition are slightly different. Most notable difference is the sodium content in beet greens being higher, and swiss chard having twice the vitamin k. Your garden is so amazing *****, it's nice to see a harvest video like this one, and the fact that you shared your zucchini harvest mid video with your neighbors adds a warm feeling to the show. I can't wait to see more like this :)
My broccoli and cauliflower plants are starting to make heads.. Can't wait to taste the different between store and organic food. I just use, used coffee grounds to keep slugs away, and beer traps of course.
am from India from the city if Bombay. we are crunched for space. but I have a terrace where I grow stuff in containers. (just started veggies). I successfully grew cucumbers n got just one harvest. from home made compost of kitchen waste. have grown potatoes from only the potato peels. not the whole potato or by cutting them in small pieces. but simply by peels. was experimental. but very successful. I loved ur garden. keep it up.
OMG that Swiss Chard is amazing looking. I share a garden and the neighbors planted the swiss chard and they have moved out but now I get what they left.
Do you have a hive of bees? Bees will increase you pollination and your vegetable production. You will also get honey. Thanks for sharing, and teaching. America needs more couples like you. God bless America!
Awesome garden, looking forward to the tomato tasting video. Looks like there coming along very well, already shared the baking soda tip with a few gardeners and saved some tomatoes. Thanks
Wow Luke. That's an awesome crop with lots more to come. You're such an inspiration and a shining example of a professional young man who has high standards and morals. I applaud you most sincerely. I'd love a tour of your garden but alas we're quite a few miles apart. LOL. Steve from England :)
Well wow! steve from England, that as a very nice amount of compliments, and I appreciate every one of them! thank you for taking the time to write them, and I appreciate you watching too!
I love watching your videos :) This year I started a mini garden for my self with a mammoth Jalapeno plant a sweet 100 cherry tomato and a few beefsteak tomatoes. I wanted Roma but I couldn't find seeds or pre started plants in my area unfortunately. Always next year!
well thank you ***** We are trying our best, and it seems to be working. Just wait for the update coming this weekend... you won't be able to tell it is the same garden.
Your very lucky to be able to enjoy and eat those wonderful veggies and fruits. I have severe bowel disease and have to omit fibrous foods.. Which sucks more than you can imagine.
Beautiful Luke, what more can i say! Btw dehydrating the chard is a good way to store it. I love the flakes sprinkled over other foods and added to soups. Great job
On the Swiss Chard, you could do wraps in the same way if you did cabbage rolls. Block gardening is so much easier...Your garden this year is fantastic!
Absolutely gorgeous! It sure shows you put a ton of hard work into it. What a dream edible garden! BTW do you ever dump out poor soil that's original to the house, or do you keep adding compost to improve it?
I am so sorry for just seeing this now! Wendi Phan I always reuse soil. Soil never goes bad, people all the time say to throw out soil and replace with good soil.. and I have to smack myself! Over time the soil will all become one, and it all adds up to be amazing soil. PLUS all of the micro-nutrients in the original soil cannot be compared to with any filler soil, no matter how organic and loose it is.
Thank you! That means a lot! Have you checked out some of our newer stuff? Because if you liked this, then you definitely will like what we have been doing. :D
Hey! So glad you commented! I maxed out the footage, Haven't forgot about you. The past two episodes have run long, Next Monday should be shorter. ;) Thanks buddy!
I know very little about gardening. please tell me why you don't want your plants "going to seed"? I'm very interested in learning. Congratulations on your horticultural success, that feeling of triumph you display when harvesting your reward for weeks of hard work, that elation, I want that feeling!
This made me so happy :) your garden is beautiful!! I'm just starting to garden myself and I bought starter plants. It's been a lot of fun but I think next season I want to start them from seed.
In Australia...we have what's called Grow Carts!! If you have too much produce in the garden...you put it on a grow cart...and swap it for other food!! Something to think about!!
I have never eaten beets; not from what I can remember. I bought some from the store for my family to try and maybe add to the salad garden. I accidently bought radishes xD Which were spicy and IMO gross! I better get it right next time, my husband made fun of me forever about it. I have a lot of leafy veggies to try, I am not very "cultured" I guess. I tried kale, too. Tastes so much like broccoli. I added it to the garden, too. It is easy to sneak into my kids food. They think it's just seasoning flakes like parsley lol
Boy oh boy, do I love your videos. I really love the harvest. My mouth was watering! I do love that the garden was done with out herbicides, pesticides and chemical fertilizers. I want to buy seeds of your early varieties of veggies. How is the tower you made doing? It must be a bush by now, lol. Thanks guys.
sha whit aww thanks! I must admit it is a great feeling doing it all naturally. But also, The grow tower is doing insane, however its not a bush since we have been harvesting daily from it!
I love your garden, wish mine was like that. We don't have the same weather in England though, you can't do much without a greenhouse. I do try growing a few things like potatoes, tomatoes, mint, radish and this year I've attempted garlic too! Let's see how it goes!
Maybe you should do a video on how much space does each plant in your garden need to grow, for people that might want to grow some of the veggies you have in your garden

GardenersLand you have to try it.. It is just so amazing.
You are good people and will be blessed for your compassion to assist with fresh organic foods.....

If I were ur neighbor I would be peaking out the window waiting for you to harvest lol,
No need to peak! Just come on over! I share with everyone :)
Haha, perfect !
Erik Coulombe
If i was your neighbor i would avoid you.
your a douche.
GodivaRealness ahhahaa same

Great video, looks like an awesome garden. It is a great feeling to give away fresh veggies you grew. Makes me wish I had a much bigger garden.
*****
ha, ha! I know from experience how mammoth these leaves can get!
Hello sir luke and miss kim... i am avid viewer of your channels.. you both are my idols in gardening. More power.
What a great teacher you are! Thank you for sharing that nutritious food with others.What a gift you are to society.
Thanks! You have no idea what that means, so encouraging!
i just love watching this video.A garden for a cause.Luke is such a good and generous man.Two thumbs up for you buddy!!!
Its so great to be getting the wholesome harvest..... not many are lucky with fruitful yield after sincere hard work and passion....your thumbs are green and blessed......i had a fulfilled happiness going around your garden..... bless you.
Your garden is AMAZING! The veggies are so perfect, they almost don't seem real.
+essentially kim I know! This garden was perfect in every way.

Want a little tip. On cropping your cabbages if you score the stem after harvest into four you may get some little mini cabbages .
rabbits have done that for me before, it's interesting how it looks when you have multiple cabbages on one plant.
Hottest Math teacher,
Hottest Dentist,
Now here is the hottest Gardener/Farmer!
I think ill go to Michigan now!
You're an awesome gardener, almost surreal the output of lush and beautiful vegetables!
STUFF A couple blossoms a with herbed goat cheese coat in a bit of panko+ cornstarch and shallow fry. yum! so glad you also share, I share at church and also with my local food pantry, they can always use more.
What a beautiful garden you have there. I can't want to show my mom this video, plus it made me hungry for green smoothies. Jaja
you have a very warm heart and because of that you have a very blessed garden!
+Nikkie R Thank you Nikkie!
I have recently begun buying organic produce at the store..INSANE prices..you just picked about 15.00!
Now I've found You Luke..no more high prices..between you, me and Trifecta..yes my friend I will grow big
Swiss chad is one of my favorite vegis. It tastes same even better than spinach and cook faster than spinach. I planted one year that was bi-annual vegis.
your garden is huge.... can't wait till i can get mine started.. heck I'd be happy with half of what your is.. Its absolutely amazing
I love putting chopped kale in potatoe leek soup. It gives the soup great texture and lots of nutrients.
+Elena R MMMmmm delish!
Great garden. When you have lots of something juicing is the best way to consume them. My dad used to cover it(-) under the plastic,(using wires to keep the plastic high, like mini hot house) for cold winters and we always had fresh greens for winter.
+lillianavictoria We love juicing, it totally rocks!
my favorite meal-- swiss chard steamed in apple cider vinegar and olive oil, and garlic salt and melted cheese on top. your chard is outstanding!!
TheCattracker MMMM sounds delish!
love this video and it reminds me of myself of how joyous I am about ny garden and how I love sharing thank you ira
thanks for watching Ira! If you are passionate about what you do, the rest just falls into place.
Go to the thrift store and get you a big basket for Harvesting your veggies. ;)
I just love how your wonderful Organic Gardens has produced a blessed Harvest. You have some much to share with others. I do containers and your tips have been amazing for me. Blessings always

Thank you Donna!
the chard and kale are gorgeous!
The food that you grow yourself taste so good.
This is amazing. Your harvest is beautiful!!! Could feed many!!

Thanks for the clarification! I would not know any better anyways because I always thought they were totally different things! haha
My broccoli and cauliflower plants are starting to make heads.. Can't wait to taste the different between store and organic food. I just use, used coffee grounds to keep slugs away, and beer traps of course.
am from India from the city if Bombay. we are crunched for space. but I have a terrace where I grow stuff in containers. (just started veggies). I successfully grew cucumbers n got just one harvest. from home made compost of kitchen waste.
have grown potatoes from only the potato peels. not the whole potato or by cutting them in small pieces. but simply by peels. was experimental. but very successful.
I loved ur garden. keep it up.
very cool, have you looked into collared greens? might be a good long term investment and a good producer.
I love watching ur videos ur lucky to have big land for ur garden👍👍👍👏👏👏from the philippines
Beautiful Organic Garden ,Thank You For Sharing ,God bless you !
incredible harvest Luke! Definitely not an understatement.
OMG that Swiss Chard is amazing looking. I share a garden and the neighbors planted the swiss chard and they have moved out but now I get what they left.
Seriously amazing Garden Harvest...looks so healthy...Yummy!
I was just looking at buying some citrus trees and I discovered that you work for Larrys Orchids & Tropicals.
yep! I keep the two strictly separate though. I do all their social media, marketing, and youtube videos.
I like your vegies garden..I always thinking that i can have my own beautiful garden too...I start some seedling now ..I always watching your videos..

Wow Luke. That's an awesome crop with lots more to come. You're such an inspiration and a shining example of a professional young man who has high standards and morals. I applaud you most sincerely. I'd love a tour of your garden but alas we're quite a few miles apart. LOL. Steve from England :)
Well wow! steve from England, that as a very nice amount of compliments, and I appreciate every one of them! thank you for taking the time to write them, and I appreciate you watching too!
you need to have an organic veggie market stand. charge lower then the stores.
Organic vegetables gardening: we like organic veggies a lot!
I love watching your videos :) This year I started a mini garden for my self with a mammoth Jalapeno plant a sweet 100 cherry tomato and a few beefsteak tomatoes. I wanted Roma but I couldn't find seeds or pre started plants in my area unfortunately. Always next year!
Incredible! Pickled beets are the best.
they are quite delicious!
WOW! You guys are really doing great.
well thank you ***** We are trying our best, and it seems to be working. Just wait for the update coming this weekend... you won't be able to tell it is the same garden.
Your very lucky to be able to enjoy and eat those wonderful veggies and fruits. I have severe bowel disease and have to omit fibrous foods.. Which sucks more than you can imagine.
Beautiful Luke, what more can i say! Btw dehydrating the chard is a good way to store it. I love the flakes sprinkled over other foods and added to soups. Great job
Thanks for the idea! I never thought abut dehydrating it, I just thought it would turn to dust!
On the Swiss Chard, you could do wraps in the same way if you did cabbage rolls. Block gardening is so much easier...Your garden this year is fantastic!
I appreciate the ideas! we use kale as a wrap for sure and it really hold up well. Glad you like how things are looking, Just wait for the update ;)
Lovely update thank you for sharing have a blessed day
Fantastic harvest!!! I love Swiss Chard!! Ours is doing great this year!!
Selena Layne Thanks! I am glad you liked it, and even more glad you are having a great harvest!
Swiss chard is one of the most amazing producers. I give the excess to my rabbits and chickens and they love it too.
deff your best video of all time!
wow, amazing harvest,radishes,chards,nice garden

Absolutely gorgeous! It sure shows you put a ton of hard work into it. What a dream edible garden! BTW do you ever dump out poor soil that's original to the house, or do you keep adding compost to improve it?

Rick Schulte :D Thank you! Have a blessed day Rick.
I have never eaten beets; not from what I can remember. I bought some from the store for my family to try and maybe add to the salad garden. I accidently bought radishes xD Which were spicy and IMO gross! I better get it right next time, my husband made fun of me forever about it. I have a lot of leafy veggies to try, I am not very "cultured" I guess. I tried kale, too. Tastes so much like broccoli. I added it to the garden, too. It is easy to sneak into my kids food. They think it's just seasoning flakes like parsley lol
I know this is a few months old but they are awesome beets!
Great Job! Great channel!
***** thank you! we indeed had a very impressive beet harvest if I don't say so myself.
thanks so much
You know what else is insane? That bod.
Boy oh boy, do I love your videos. I really love the harvest. My mouth was watering! I do love that the garden was done with out herbicides, pesticides and chemical fertilizers. I want to buy seeds of your early varieties of veggies. How is the tower you made doing? It must be a bush by now, lol. Thanks guys.
sha whit aww thanks! I must admit it is a great feeling doing it all naturally. But also, The grow tower is doing insane, however its not a bush since we have been harvesting daily from it!
you should start your own small market hut considering how much produce your collecting. Unless you wan't to post it all to me? Lol I love beet's!
You're an inspiration
+Steven Louis Thank you Steven!
Great video. Didn't see any ads, otherwise, I would have watched them to help you out. Keep up the good work.
Susan Solleder I appreciate that! Watch a few more of our videos and you might see one ;)
Ok will do. Thanks.
Wow wonderful gardens I love this 🌽🍅🍆🍠🍉
I love your garden, wish mine was like that. We don't have the same weather in England though, you can't do much without a greenhouse.
I do try growing a few things like potatoes, tomatoes, mint, radish and this year I've attempted garlic too!
Let's see how it goes!
+Flyfly Bee Good luck with your garden! :)
Thanx I'll need it, I'm just a beginner really.

wow such a beautiful gorgeous garden!!!
Ur amazing too
frozen pesros, can use almost any herb for it, change it up and freeze them!
+hope crews I meant "pestos".^.^
AWESOME HARVEST!
Maybe you should do a video on how much space does each plant in your garden need to grow, for people that might want to grow some of the veggies you have in your garden
The ReelLeesures I will try to get a video out like that.
