To the person reading this: Even though I don’t know you, I wish you the best of what life has to offer ❤
If you have a garden and a library, you have everything you need...
Amen
Hi
Personally I don't care for a diet consisting totally of raw foods, so I'd rather have a kitchen, too. Somewhere between the library and garden will do.
Yes
I would only add that you also need a dog. That would make it complete for me!
I get a joy in my heart when I'm cooking dinner, and the thought pops into my head, "This dish could use a little bit of thyme! (or whatever herb it might be)" I run outside to the backyard, happy as a clam, and pull off what I need from the herb garden. It's so much fun cooking like that.
I wanted to start an herb garden like this, but I just couldn't find the thyme.
Aww, this made my day. Thanks for that.

I guess it would be a sage decision...
What's the dill with that?
I just punched "how to grow herbs" into the youtube search bar and clicked on the top video without checking which channel uploaded it. Then, once that piano riff played and I heard chef johns voice chime in, i got the biggest smile on my face!!!!!
Love this channel, and silly me for not checking food wishes for a herb-growing video first! thanks again chef john!
you took the words right out of my, uhhhhh, keyboard!
tidy kun Yea I was looking for some videos on "growing herbs" too... :^)
My sentiments exactly!
tidy kun same experience
Same here!
Pro tip: keep the mint far far far away from the other plants and in their own separate soil. They are incredibly invasive and will overtake all other plants if given the opportunity. Also, if you live in a climate with a cold winter (so, you know, not California), you can always bring these plants inside during the cold seasons so that they last for years. I've had rosemary growing outdoors in the summers and indoors during the winters for the past few years, and it brings such amazing warmth and vibrancy to my kitchen during those dreary months.
How do I start a rosemary pot? Is it easy? :)
So thats why my herbs all look sick?! They look awful like i thought bugs got to em
@@rayray8389 Suggestion for keeping away bugs on your herbs:
20 drops of peppermint oil and/or rosemary,
5 drops of dish detergent and a gallon of water.
Early in the morning, spray your mixture on your herbs weekly or as needed.
Mark Twain once wrote, that the coldest winter he ever experienced, was a summer in San Francisco
Once had a giant mint patch in my garden, smelled it and liked it.
The glory of gardening: hands in the dirt, head in the sun, heart with nature. To nurture a garden is to feed not just on the body, but the soul...
Indeed
you could also just play in the mud
Expected touch of Cayenne after watering.
me2 :(
Actually not a bad idea in some areas because it will deter small animals like squirrels, some birds and some bugs.
So cayenit it !!!
@@juliebiddle1636 It might open up their palette so be careful
😂
this is the best garden video ive seen. simple, well explained, straight to the point and no mumbo jumbo.
"Simple, well-explained, straight to the point and no mumbo jumbo" sums up this entire channel.
Have you seen our channel?
yeah. i miss larry's orchids. :-D
Personally I prefer it when videos have no Mumbo Jumbo because red stone confuses me!
@@g2rewin717 ayyyyyyyy
“ I have grown my own herbs for decades ! - with out actually knowing what I’m doing “ 😂😂 me af
I love that RUclips recommends your older videos that I have missed.
Ba ha ha ha!! "Italian in the front, Greek in the back" - you never fail to make me laugh. Thanks for providing a great tutorial along with some great herbal entertainment. Keep herb scaping Chef, it's the right thing to do ;-)
Lyndsay Wells, The Kitchen Witch WOW! I can't believe I missed the Greek in the back joke haha!
Ok. 1/4 Italian here, but can someone please enlighten me on the Greek joke?
AmarettoEyes Yes, me too! I'm intrigue.
AmarettoEyes ***** The joke is that anal sex is often referred to as Greek style sex.
Justin M Greeks like anal?
chef john youve completely convinced me into buying some herbs and pots for a garden now lol
Italian in the front, Greek in the back..... Bwhahahahahaha !
You “crack” me up Chef !! I am “addicted” to your channel!
( see what I did there?)
Sometimes I “crack” myself up too !
Everyone has a television show or RUclips channel to tell you they’re the greatest cook and that you should strive to be like them, but as far as I know Chef John is the only one who had sense enough to step out of the kitchen and do a culinary garden show! Kudos to Chef John!
"I live in San Francisco where it hasn't rained in three years..." LOL
Plenty of fertilizer though.
Oh really
Right!!!, Girl I died lol. And I'm from Alabama
Must be all that smug in the air.
If anyone is interested, I grew chocolate mint last year. It was amazing and made great mint juleps. Had a subtle, yet very clear chocolate taste to it - pretty cool.
Why cool! I'll look for it thanks 👍
I... just subscribe to this channel simply because his voice makes me cracks up so many times in 2 minutes...........
Thanks Food Wishes! I'm in Western Australia 🇦🇺 and have found this video the best for container herbs 🌿
awesome. But be careful and don't plant mint with other herbs... she's REALLY invasive.
I am mint
That's so true
Giovanna Diaz Also the rosemary; it gets much larger than the other herbs.
you just not using enough of it. lol
Ohhhh I didn’t know this I just did that yesterday!!!
so pleased you did a video on how to grow your own food :) very impressed! from the garden to the plate is the best kind of food.
***** Me too. :)
I agree! I am originally from a farm. So, I like gardening a lot. Once, I bought some heirloom tomatoes from a Safeway grocery store. I kept some of the seeds from the tomatoes. Later on, I remembered I had them. I planted them. They got really tall. In my area of Canada, we have a growing season from May to around September ( if it doesn't snow like it did in early May, before getting hot ), it is ample time to get a good garden. I have an east facing window, so I can also plant things like basil, oregano and rosemary inside.
Dwayne Wladyka Sounds wonderful! I love having fresh herbs around and it's great you can grow them inside. Our growing season is similar, May until around early October.I grow lettuce and other herbs indoors during the cold months.
***** I don't know, i ended up having very small veggies when i tried.
***** Also, most of my video recipes are garden to table. :)
Italian in the front .. Greek in the back ... omg. You’re awesome.
I don't know why people did a thumbs down on your video I think it's great, thank you
OMG i was just googling how to do this because i've been learning basically all my cooking from you and i'm sick of buying herbs / supermarket herb plants dying - didn't expect you to have a video of this HAHA thank you so much!! this is SO helpful!
The rhythm of the narration is what i enjoy the most! Well there is also the awesome recipes, the jokes, the tips and basically everything! u.u
I know this is an old video, but it is a huge help to a beginner like me! You're a wellspring of knowledge!
This is the best video I’ve seen about gardening
Nothing better than having fresh herbs on hand!
Thai Basil is in my top 5, grows like a weed, fragrant and amazing unique flavor!
Thanks, Chef John. I really enjoy your videos, with your good information, with your upbeat good humor. 😃
What a pleasant sense of humour!
i cant get over the fact that your voice goes up after every sentence! love the way you talk and amazing channel
Italian on the front greek on the back oh my god
***** eh...greek...is a euphemism for anal...
***** I would honestly think he's saying how well developed Italian women are in the front and Greek women in the back. Either that or my minds in the gutter.
DaDon DaDa haha "the greek way" is anal intercourse.....so greek in the back means the backdoor
Learning something new everyday haha
OMG! Hahahaa!
A very nice collection of herbs in your potted herb garden. Your terracotta pots are beautiful and they make a stunning composition.
This makes me want to put it into terra-cotta pots as well
The waft of fresh herbs through your apartment is just worth the effort and nice to come home to.
Thank you for putting together a tight, professional video. It held my attention and gave me perfect amount of information. (I went through several videos prior. So I appreciate you saving my time and cutting to the chase.)
Great tips! Great idea using rocks and pebbles to help drainage! Makes a massive difference. :)
+Donal Skehan What else would you use for drainage? Rocks and pebbles have been used for drainage for hundreds of years.
Donal Skehan oh one of my favorite channels commenting on another favorite channel ! Worlds collide!
Boi this is a myth
angelo karl canaleta - You're obviously a gardener. Agreed. But I like this guy for his cooking. I'll forgive him for propagating gardening myths. And this one is minor.
Hi Donal I am a subscriber
His voice is extremely positive ,calming , mixed with humour . Great combination John
+Muscle Head An opinion from the other side of Atlantic:
He overacts. His voice does not sound natural. He speaks too fast. (No humour found so far.)
+BobbyLaurel Well, you guys are pissy in general, so yeah.
A herb garden is so healing on so many levels....it's not just a thing....it's a must!
Was anybody else waiting for a sprinkling of cayenne ? Lol
😂😂😂
Yes!!! If you love cooking an herb garden is an absolute must! Thanks for sharing this- herbs really are so easy to grow and so much better fresh. I'd personally have planted the sage & Rosemary in their own pot since they can get pretty darn large, but if kept trimmed they should be fine. Yum!
I love chef John voice, his spirit and his persona and i wish to thank him for all the wonderful advises.:-)
those decorative terra cotta pots are darling!
Wow Chef John, you have videos for everything that I can think of and ask for!! Always impressed by your humbleness and knowledge 👍
I like the way the guy talks with a slight surprised pitch, good video, it was funny, educational & interesting to watch.
The pitch drove me crazy - but the info was great.
You should check out his cooking videos, that's what Chef John is famous for. His humour is brilliant too. Enjoy!
This guys voice......just makes me happy.
When he said he's going to show us what he has done without knowing what he was doing.... lol... relatable af....
I really appreciate this video. I make so much stuff but like the idea of not having to go to the store to pick up spices so often. Thanks.
Was waiting for something like, "After all, you are the Herb Brooks of how your herbs look".
So addicted to growing plants....great pots ...nice varieties...enjoy
You voice makes me HAPPY!!! 😍😍😍
Your herb tutorial was just the push I needed to start this. I love sorrel, especially with sautéed scallops, but it's very difficult to find so I'm going to try growing my own. I purchased the Greek oregano at a local nursery and the plant's scent is stronger than what I usually end up buying at Whole Foods (Italian oregano). Can wait to try it in a recipe. Thanks!
Great video. The beauty of growing your own herbs, is that many can be grown indoors year 'round with very little space.
Grow Your Heirlooms 6
I have always heard that herbs are so easy to grow. I have never been able to grow them. Now I know why, I love them to death with water! I'am going to give it a try again! Thanks!
That basil looks incredible!
Great video, nice herb garden! I'm heading to the gardening store!
Chef John, when you water your plants to you sing "oh my darlin', oh my darlin lemon thyme"?
I know... leaf the jokes to you. See what I did there :)
Great video sir, thank you!
Should be "oh my garden, oh my garden..."
Beautiful garden, Chef John! I see why people in Florida grow their herbs inside, because unlike San Francisco, we get tons of rain in the summer, so those herbs you say don't like a lot of water would get wayyyyyy too much!
Right you are Laura. And beyond the excessive moisture, high levels of rainfall can also quickly leach soils of valuable nutrients. So you're constantly needing to augment the soil!
My herbs love a piece of cement in near the roots! Greece is a limestone heaven!
This guy is just brilliant
...oh my darling Lemmon thyme ...
Nick D'Annunzio Thou art lost and gone forever, dreadful sorry cleme- lemon thyme.
These flower pots are adorable!
I want an herb garden so badly ! OMG ! How neat ! All these wonderful herbs ! Like multiples in 1 planter labeled !
Right on Linda! One of the best crops to grow. Space-friendly and low maintenance... But more importantly, nothing beats fresh herbs. The stuff you get at the grocery store is already 2-3 days old before you take it home! With your own herbs, you can just snip off what you want for that particular meal and carry on!
Cool!
Some varieties of mint can be invasive and "competitive" with each other, so have that in mind when planting them, better have them in an individual pot!
Also, when cutting the tips of the plants, if you're not using them right away, you can place them in a glass with water under the sun, it depends on the plant but after a few days or couple of weeks they'll start growing roots and be ready to plant :)
You picked some very nice herbs there! I like to plant my perennials in separate containers because they grow so fast and get root bound very quickly. It looks like , you gave them a very good temporary home. Your containers look so nice! I want to do another video soon on tips for container gardens. :) I just added Cuban Oregano I can't wait to use it to cook pork for a sandwich.

Ray Jones So pleasant. I love it!
Someone please do a remix
I find it annoying how he always ends on a high note, like some sorta weird ad
@@mangomariel LOL, yeah, or kindergarten.
Could've used some hammer thyme IMO.

i'm not alone
This was exactly what I needed. I plan on doing a herb garden this summer and this was perfect! Thank you chef John!
This is the first year I plant a garden and I'm LOVIN' IT! I have basil and last week I made pesto which turned out delicious I just had it with ravioli last night for dinner. It makes a difference when you just go outside to get the herbs you need.

Great looking herb container and pretty clay pots. Just to note that herbs like chives and especially basil still do require good amount of fertiliser and they do need alkaline soil to thrive, basil especially thrives better if it's potted with rich but well draining soil. Mint needs moist environment and it's better to be left in a part shade (morning sun and afternoon shade).

You've finally hit 1,000,000+! Congrats, Chef John!!!!! What a great video!! Thank you :)
I loved this!!! The way you talked and what you said was so funny!! Love it!!
thank you for posting this! everyone should have an herb garden no one should have to buy 3 dollars worth of herbs to use a tbs
my mom planted chives at my house like 5-6 years ago and they spread so quickly to other parts of her garden and they always come back. chives are super resilient (and i live in wisconsin!)
Friends don't give friends chives.
Thank you SO much for doing this video, Chef John! I recently started my own little herb pot :) A couple of questions:
1) How do you store the fresh herbs if you're not ready to use them?
2) How do you keep cilantro from dying? [mine died]
***** Hi! I like to store my herbs in a glass on my window sill. However, some of the soft herbs like cilantro, dill, and chervil do best when washed, wrapped loosely in a paper towel, put in a plastic bag and stored in the produce drawer of your refrigerator. Cilantro is an herb which MUST be planted by seed every 2 weeks to use it regularly (continuous harvest). It does not last long and will quickly "bolt" and go to seed. You will notice the leaves get very small and it begins stretching up through the center. It will produce flowers next. After it produces flowers, it will produce seed (tiny green balls). They will turn brown and then you harvest it, let it dry. Guess what you have? Dried Coriander! This is what you buy when you purchase ground coriander in the market in the US. Happy Gardening! :) I will upload a video on how to grow Cilantro very soon. It is one of my favorite herbs.
Rainbow Gardens wow--thanks! Yeah, my cilantro looked somewhat perky when I planted it, but then quickly fell flat and then went squishy and brown. Ew. heh. And you know it may be a regional thing or something to do with our humidity here in Alabama [?] because all the cilantro I've seen for sale around here was lanky looking or lying brown in the dirt like mine.
p.s. I'll be on the lookout for your video!
***** Great! I am from Georgia and now reside in North Carolina. Cilantro does not like the heat of the south. My advice (until I get the video compiled) buy a pack of cilantro seed and observe your yard during the heat of the day. Look for an area which only receives about 3 hours of direct sun and plant some seeds there. Water every other day for about 2 weeks and they will pop up! Repeat and plant some more seed when they pop up and just continue until late November. :)
Rainbow Gardens Thank you so much! I'll try starting them from seeds and see how they do :)
...I subscribed to your channel. Looks very nice and informative and your recipes look awesome!
What I like to do is pour warm coconut oil ( or butter) in ice trays then add herbs and freeze them for later use. The cubes are so convenient!
This is a HUGE help. my herbs are ready to go out now.
It couldn't get any simpler than this! Thanks for sharing Chef John!!
Give us an update for the herb garden!
Geez this guy knows how to garden too? !
I always love watching your videos. Im finally going to make a herb garden in my backyard. Thanks for the helpful tips!
I've come to this channel for recipes for many years, so imagine my pleasant surprise when searching on RUclips to start an herb garden and there you are again! Thank you for all the help over the years, Chef John!
I just planted a herb garden. I think next year I will grow them from seeds. The plant starters are getting pretty expensive.
I wish I could plant a garden for you.
I wish your wish comes true
I am toally disabled and would love you to plant one for me! LOL
@Democrats Are just nazis I wish you’d not wish someone to not wish for someone else’s wish to come true...and I agree dems are Nazis
That is a crossover I would watch!!
I made one of these and placed it on a lazy susan for inside the kitchen (that has plenty of sun). Such a treat to have fresh herbs at your fingertips!
As always, I enjoyed. You, Chef John, are my favorite channel on RUclips! Thanks for being you.
Italian in the front. Greek in the back. LOL.

probably your best video ever. gotta start with the basics. thanks Chef John.
Well this video amazed me. I had begun making my own herbs about 2 years ago, and seeing this video made me gush a bit.
LOL @ "Greek in the back"
Why is he talking as if everything is about to be a question xd
Do u Not know who this is? LOL its his thing.
it is rather strange though the rhythm is hypnotic
Thinking the same thing
That’s Chef John’s signature style and what makes him the rock star he is. You’ll love his videos!
That’s the way he talks. It seems positive and bright to me.
Beautiful herb garden ... thanks for sharing your tips.
Awesome video! I started my herb garden like a year ago and now its like a herb paradise.
How often do you change the soil? And how long do these herb plants usually last for?
***** Some plants will actually come back annually if you just leave them be through the colder months. Like our Oregano and Parsley have come back every time for the past 3 years. I will say though, that I think oregano should have its own planter, because it definitely can get out of hand quickly.
Don't plant cilantro and dill close to each other. The dill will change to something strange and def not dill-like. Learned that the hard way.
I believe they cross-pollinate and kill each other
this was exactly the sort of video i needed to see right now and youtube was thoughtful enough to reccomend it to me. i was in fact planning on planting some herbs today so this was excellent
Great information! I will beautify my herb garden based on this video!
