    Bahahaha. I think the disgruntled chatter about the camera not following you might be my favorite “markisms”

    Thank you for sharing; sharing all your videos. I have been talking to grocery store managers and truckers.... China bought 58% of our farms in the US and were selling us all the food until this year. They have a large population and need the food for their people. They are exporting the food back to China. Our warehouses are losing ground and becoming empty. I go to the grocery store and their are shelves that are empty now.... we are in big trouble. We are also having problems with truckers quitting. They are being pulled out of their trucks and beaten to death by the rioters. With all that is going on; we all need to learn to be self sufficient. Thank you so much for all your hard work and sharing your knowledge. You personally are going to receive great rewards in Heaven because of all the lives you will be saving with the knowledge you are sharing God Bless.

    Hey Mark! This series came up on my search results for seed saving spinach. I watched all 5 eps and loved it!
    I totally agree with a lot of your points. My mother in law gave me some random bitter gourd seeds to grow here in London, UK. Germination was hard as they were given to me in a rotting tissue last autumn. I cleaned and re-dried them for storage. I tried several in soil and only one germinated and survived. I tried the wet tissue method and got another two plants.
    She loves our garden and what we are growing so then turns up with two mango seeds her friend from Goa brought back from his family home that they ate and now she wants me to grow them. Here in the UK....
    Firstly, i am not sure how i can legally do that but secondly she is in her late 70's expecting a mango. Bless her though. I said that i would dry it out and plant it.
    That being said, my dwarf cherry tree, before it decided that it didn't want to produce again in a very large pot, before we knew much about gardening, self seeded itself. On it's second year now, so next year i will plant it into the ground and see what happens. We transferred the big dwarf cherry tree to a bed but it hasn't done anything this year. Our pear tree sapling the same age now has 5 pears left and i am happy.
    Slowly getting good compost into the other clay beds.

Hoping to build raised beds and add chickens and goats before my hubby comes home from deployment to Afghanistan. I want to be as self sufficient as possible, and your videos give me hope, even though you're on the opposite side of the world 😉

    Mark, I took lemon seeds from the lemon I got at a restaurant. Then I germinated and sprouted them. They are little tiny shoots right now. After potting them, I learned about 'true-to-type' and realized my commercial lemon might never bear fruit. All this to say, this video encourages me that if I nuture them and never get good fruit, at least I can get root stock from them.

    hi Mark from sufficiently my husband bought an apple tree and mrs. Smith apple tree in 2018 in the spring here in Kern County, California. One day it was so hot it was about 115 degrees there was a violent windstorm and my husband went out to try to make a shade for it, and he snapped a heart valve and almost died. He was in the hospital almost a month. I don't think Apple trees are supposed to grow in the arid desert. the tree did die, but brought up a small branch from the base. now it has a few more. I dug it up last fall and placed it in a giant pot with a good potting soil to avoid a repeat and now its in the Eastern side of our yard where there is morning sun and afternoon shade. I have not cut the dead main stem thinking it would protect the new growth. I water as needed and will look for a fertilizer, but don't know if it needs it at this stage. we shall see if it survives the summer. I've also grown Apple seeds from stratification, they do not live in our arid temperate. I may have to keep them indoors.
    My husband and I are retired, I'm 56 and he's 70. He's my miracle and doing well. it's been a challenge finding plants and trees that do well out here, thank you for your wonderful videos, they've been a tremendous help.

    I've a question about mint, I only know of taking the stem of the mint then plant it, usually it's more successful if the stem has leaves, I also refrigerate it if I were to plant it later, it usually stay viable for a month.
    Hopefully I've added something useful for everyone here

    [Indiana Dunes - ~Zone 5] I absolutely agree with your 'true-to-type' advice. However, the climate is changing (not global warming; not next ice age; etc.), and adaptation of the crops is best left to the experts. For example, I have a separate compost heap for my squash. I toss the ugly cousins there (although, I have never met a useless squash seed). I have found, that my strains of butternut and acorn have met pumpkin and zucchini. Usually, I find Frankenfruit growing from the heap, but occasionally, they've been struck by genetic lightning. Early fruit set, new shapes, sturdier storage, charismatic coloration, sugar content, etc. are not only adaptive to my conditions, but are also exciting to my market. The same goes for taters, maters, and any other crop- separate compost heaps. The diseases are there in abundance, but the ones that survive are belligerent. Thanks for your wisdom and generosity!
