I too have a lively garden in Las Veas over 30 fruit tree, ranging from white sapote, guava,citrus and stone fruit, plus berry and vegetables
I got started by planting the bottom inch of green onions in my back yard. Right in the nasty dirt my back yard had. Even weeds did not grow back there, but green onions did! And, it was the greatest encouragement to see growth the very next day! I love green onions, both for flavor, and for nostalgia! LOL

That was one BEAUTIFUL tree collard! John never ceases to inspire & challenge me ....
So glad I saw this video. I've just placed an order for purple tree collard cuttings and now I know what I need to help them grow beautifully and properly support them. Thanks John💜 happy growing 💜
Getting John to say he needs to "up his GAME" ? PRICELESS. ... :-D ... .. Yes, get healthy! Can't wait to see what he gets growing, next.
i find John very humble with a good heart and that purple tree collard was totally epic. i gotta get out there and up my game and build something for mine
We are SO hot too, but SO FAR, I am keeping our garden alive and thriving...and we too are trying to help others to keep their garden going, thanks for all your videos, sharing is the most important think in life, Robbie and Gary
You have some impressive tree collards too. That's an awesome plant to grow.
So amazing! Congratulations on your healing! John, you are an inspiration to so many. 🙏
I love John! IMO, I feel he’s one of the best. And, what a great message this was! 💜🌱💜
You're awesome bud. Been watching your vids for years. You have encouraging energy. I ordered a few of these and will plant them in a few days until it is warm enough to transplant. Thanks for the post.
John is one of my heroes in life
Full sun in Texas is much different too. I’ve has struggles with a few plants that can’t handle a full southern exposure, let alone a western exposure. Great episode, I’m glad you found inspirational ideas at a neighbor.
I Loved this video! I'm in the beginning stages of creating a large backyard garden in Las Vegas and I would find it very helpful to see more "how to" videos of the structures you made and the materials you used. Thank you for sharing your desert garden with us!
!! So inspiring to see other Las Vegans having successful gardens. I’ve been gardening for 8 years but really haven’t been successful until the last two years when I started watching GYG. I’ve also increased my vegetable intake since watching. Tree collards is on my list to grow, I salivate every time I watch a video and John eats one 😂 That’s saying a lot since I use to hate veggies 🤪
Great video John! You’re so inspiring and have such a great attitude and personality.
What an amazing change this man went through, it’s not easy to change everything about how you eat.... but what a beneficial change! He looks great and I imagine feels even better!
You’re doing good work John 😀
Congratulations John And Robin! You are doing wonderfully in Gardening!
This video is exactly what I needed to hear! Try growing plants in different locations to experiment and see which area is best for different plants! Those garden beds are really wonderful...I'd love to make that sweet potato box! Did he add in the worms, or are his boxes open and resting on earth and that is where they came from??? Thanks :)
John! I have a TREE BuTTERLEAF LETTUCE. I CAME HOME YESTERDAY, AND IT WAS FRATERNISING IN MY HANGING FUSHIA BLOSSOMS!
I CALL THIS, MULTICULTURE ING! HAH!!!
THIS lettuce has already given me 8 salads and lettuce for 4 sandwiches with Dave's Killer Bread! I have used alfalfa meal and green tea with loose tea to water, also Epson salt once month
shanah Tovah wow tree butter lettuce?
How do i buy that n grow it
tree of life right there
So glad to hear how successful he was in changing his lifestyle, and therefore his life! Just getting off all those drugs is a major blessing....the side effects are horrible...he basically cleared his body of toxins, and let his body heal itself,..blood pressure, diabetes, arthritis, some of the big processed food side effects Thank you for sharing his story, wow, hope he continues on : )
Yeah, I have to get on my game, too! I want to have some Tree Collards (green and purple) growing in my Tucson, Arizona food forest!
Inspiring! Thank you for sharing that story.
Yeah so I’m in Las Vegas too and some of, my block wall is crumbling and it’s not from water. I’ve got to reinforce the walls this winter. However my garden is just surviving now with the excessive heat warnings. I keep adding compost from the kitchen and my worms love it 😍
Congratulations! You look great! Great gardens!
Sooo EXCELLENT! We just put in raised beds and live in similar climate so this is great!
John, my New Years wish for you, is that you get your Farm in the near future. I am looking forward to amazing content, and seeing what you can do on a farm. Health and Blessings in the coming year.
Omg, this is the garden of my dreams. I am getting better and have also been thinking of making higher and deeper raised beds. Wow. I love seeing how he makes use of so much shade. I need more shade structures. I look around and unfortunately, almost no one knows to use shade in this hot sun. Strange people. I would love to see a bit more time dedicated to the shade structures or shade curtains, etc.
Great garden . Love the raised beds and whole area.
you should do a video with Plant Abundance Dan in his garden. His collards and kale trees are impressive.
Great video! Amazing! Inspirational!
Truly inspiring...
Lol, “he probably got more worms than I got”
John,l had regular collards from lowes they lasted almost 3 years, they grew 8ft tall in year lol
Wow!
Minute 8:38 THEY ARE LAZY GARDNERS 😆 🤣 SO AM I 🙌🙋♀️ BY THE TIME I ENJOY GARDENING MY BACK SAYS🙅♀️
Awesome video
get healthy friend, we need you!
i am in el paso, tx and i water like him.
GOALS
You can also grow native plants that are edible or ornamental plants.
Some nice greens there. He did really well changing his diet and loosing weight. Credit where its due.
Looks like my dads garden. Raise it up put crap on bottom cheap and easy on the back
This is very inspiring! Great garden there. What was the name of those greens growing in the shade? I want to try that variety as I have a small yard with shady areas I want to utilize. Thank for all your efforts. ❤️Love all the info. Much appreciated!
Hey love the Teal Color r themed but also consider building a treehouse over just a house that tears down the forest. Trees should be building blocks no tearing blocks. It can be funky and swirlyio just needs a bit of adjusting imagination and blueprinting and there we go and inventive you might get more followers because your not just helping humanity but your helping the World. We are not only making channels grow but It inspire others to experiment and CZcams Channels will grow when we choose to help the world 2 ways in one stone. Building a tree house and putting gardens in it. It can maybe make new species
Grow lemon balm, catnip, and stringing nettle plants
I would grow one!
Awesome video, where can I get collard green & kale trees?
Great Video John ,thank you
Kinda irritates me to read the negative comments on here
When we move there is no room for error. I can't afford to experiment and possibly lose out on valuable food.
John Kholer, what is your opinion on growing weeping willow cuttings in a residential area?
Weeping Willows are very invasive. Stay away from your structures and septic tank.
I'm in S. California (Norco) where can I get some purple collards and longevity spinach
Does that really taste like kale? If it does. I'm definitely growing some. I can't seem to grow enough kale to keep up with demand. I put it in everything. It's one of my favorite foods.
Jyl it’s pretty similar. They taste good streamed
Can I grow a tree from any collard green or just certain varieties? I'm growing my first real garden this year and I'm pretty clueless. I just moved to Kansas City from the mountains and all the gardening I've done had been in containers, save for a few tomato plants in college. I need to learn everything. I've been reading and watching videos, but there's a lot to learn. I don't even know enough to know I don't know. I just learned about nitrogen, potash, potassium and magnesium's effects today. I should really research plant varieties, too. I'll bet I can't grow a collard green tree because it freezes here.
It's cutting or live plant only, does not grow true from seed. Annie's sells live plants, cuttings on ebay. You might want to start with some standard collard varieties, seeds are easy to find.
fonseca habana I grew standard kale for the first time this year. I'd never tried it before I grew it. As soon as I tasted it, I knew I had to grow more. Lettuce is so inferior, now. If that really tastes like kale, I'll definitely give growing it a shot. I'll probably want several clones. I'll have to figure something out.
Where can I purchase the tree collard you talked about in the above video? (the one that has been growing for three years)
Etsy has them.
Often, I find people discarding old refrigerators, freezers, small boats, hot tubs, etc., and after drilling some holes, I fill with growing medium, and plant my gardens. Too lazy to "build" boxes. lol
That is a smart idea
plents of room in the sky
Can only keep apple, or pear trees outdoors year-round here.
Do they grow GOJI BERRYS?
I hear you keep saying that the desert is the hardest place to grow food. I'm scratching my head because down here in SW Florida I'm jealous of your low humidity. Purple tree collards are really hard to keep going here. They do great until the heat and humidity of summer. Then come the attacks from the bugs. I keep them going only by taking all the cuttings I can and nursing them along in pots in the shade. I lose most of those too but a few will survive until the heat breaks. Great videos but stop whining about that wonderful dry heat!
Im allergic to onions, got another suggestion?
What are you looking for? The taste/flavour, growing conditions, amount of work etc....
What made you want the onion plant?
Your question is hard to answer unless you say why you want the onion plant.
Chives maybe?
Are you also allergic to the green onions stalks or chives or leeks? Onions also irritate me, especially raw. Raw onions make me cough and have trouble breathing. I do not have that problem with cooked onions, though my stomach does not like those. I have no problems with cooked onion greens and chives greens. Other easy things to grow, at least in the high desert, is Amaranth and Water Spinach. They do need regular water. In pots, I water daily or every other day. oh yeah, also chard.
Did yo ask yourself the question why the concrete block wall certainly older than the concrete block raised bed is holding? He needs to cap the raised bed wall for it to last. Should last way longer than any wood.
My tree collards from Ronnie and mihn ,died after 2 years ,dont know why.
+100
We have a lot of problems with fruit trees. They burn in the sun. We lost 2 avocado trees at 3 years old, even though we watered them everyday. Tomatoes! We have tons of blossoms but hardly any tomatoes. OK... so leaf growth!! What product?
Does anyone have any tree collard cuttings I can get? I'll cover the shipping via Paypal.
I'm first
LOL.
Oh my gosh i live in vegas !!! Ive been lookinf everywhere for tree collard cuttings !!! Can you possobly drop his contact info ot youtube page ?! Id be more then happy to pay !!
if you contact us at petejr@cox.net or on facebook, petejr - we can get you some. Sorry for the late reply, I am only seeing this now.
not soil lol :)
He don't look like he eats lots of veggies
Seriously, 42 mins
That tree collard size is not practically useful. It's too tall for ease of harvest and unless you're growing it for ornamental reasons, there's no point to have it take up space in the food garden. From my perspective, I don't find tree collard to be of any ornamental value other than its nutritional value. So I'd grow it within reach for easy leaf harvest.
Lol, i love watching these videos, but...
John says he is the NUMBER 1 juicer/ blenders in the ENTIRE UNITES STATES, and he can match any price. How many people in the US are buying juicers, per month ?1000 ? 5'000 ? 10'000 ?
When we see these juicers can cost $300,$ 600, even + $1'500, and retailers have at least 50-60% off (i helped a friend who was in the business. .. don't be shocked, but did you know a retailer can have up to 70, or even 80-85% off, even on brands like bosch....? Yeah, margins can be that huge...), that makes HUNDREDS and HUNDREDS or even THOUSANDS T I M E S 200 bucks on this juicer, 400 bucks on that blender, 700 bucks on that juicer...
That makes DOZENS AND DOZENS THOUSANDS DOLLARS per MONTH, NET :)
THAT'S why ALL the people i know who watch these videos keep wondering "DOES he really need those extra 5 or 10 dollars per tshirt, to 'support' him ? "
ALL MY juicer friends also tell me "wow, he even charges money for phone calls... when he could take 1 hour per week, and do kind of QA live stream on youtube..he wouldn't become poor because of that"...even if we all know times is precious, and he can't give advices for free...
I'm going to shock a few, but my wife once told me "wow, it looks like this guy is all about money and money and making more money... he must be so greedy, never shares anything, even his girlfriends, everything is separated, what is mine is mine, what is yours is yours, don't even think you'll ever get a dime, from my juicer business, you have to work hard, to pay HALF the bills, even if i'm making xx'xxx per month, don't count on that'....and the girlfriends just go away, they can't stand such greed.
Then my wife went on, and asked me, why is him like that ? Americans are super generous. Is Kohler swiss, austrian, german, israeli ?
Then i had to convince my wife that in the world, there are those who don't live just for the money, and will help whoever needs some help, as they already have more than enough, money or other things...
... and then, there is a second group of people, who already have more than 90% of the people in the world, but they always want more, more and even more. And those people hate spending 1 dollar, unless they are doubling or tripling it.
And she replied 'yes, but he has already made 2 thousand videos, for free'!
And our son asked her 'would he make all those videos, if he wasn't selling his juicers, just for the pleasure of 'educating people on how to eat the best food with the best nutrients ?'
That's the 1 million dollar question :)
For those who will reply 'hey, dumbass, why are you saying all that crap ?', well... we love sharing, helping others, for free, because we believe it can make more people happy... and because of our nature, it is easy to spot someone who seems to be just a liiiitle bit, well... greedy.
no name sounds like ur jealous,
No you dont make a 80% markup,
You sound like a jerk
No name That’s great if you can share for free, however I would gladly pay to speak / learn from anyone who has such a vast knowledge of a subject that interests me , I’ve already learned a ton for “ free” to me via You Tube and he’s selling the shirts to raise $$ for his future farm , a worthy cause if you ask me a gardener like John needs more room to grow 🐝the Good you wish to see in the World
My Simple reason that drives me to continue to produce content to make a difference in the world, is because I almost lost my life when I was younger. I was given a second chance at life. I believe one of reasons I was given a second chance is to share what I have learned with others. "This drives me to share my truths with the world. Another part of me wants to contribute my part to make the world a better place by "Living in Service to others". "Be the change you wish to see in this world". Furthermore, I believe conventional society is not teaching (and teaching inaccurate) information to people. My youtube channels are here to help others.
If I were about the money, I would make my videos ALOT different. You will know if I am "ever about the money" when my video lengths are maybe 10-15 minutes long. That would please the youtube algorithm better than my 45 - 90 minute long vidoes that most people BAIL on after 15 minutes.
Why do I charge for consults? I simply value my time. Time is the most precious thing each one of us owns. I would love to answer FREE questions all day long, but I have quite a busy life, continually gardening, traveling, preparing food, running my business, etc.
Furthermore all my fiverr consults NEVER get "Cashed out" into my pocket. It all goes BACK into the fiveerr community to get my videos transcribed for the hearing impaired.
Furthermore, the tee shirt money goes to help get my videos edited, and supports a Woman Owned US based business. I don't see a cent.
Furthermore, all my EBOOK sales, I dont see a penny at present time, it goes 100% to support my ex-girlfriend at this time.
I would request that unless you know me and what im actually about to refrain from posting inaccurate comments about me. Furthermore, I would request you start posting 4 videos a week to help change the world.
Learn Organic Gardening at GrowingYourGreens I'm sorry to see you have to defend your name and activities. I suppose it's part of being in the public eye as they say. I'm also sorry to hear about you and your ex girlfriend, hang in there John. I've been watching your videos for years, and you always disclose where the $ you raise goes to. You've helped me big time to become the accomplished gardener I am. Please don't be discouraged, keep your head up, and always be proud of the work (and payment) you do and earn. You're the man John ;)
