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 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!
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 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.
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
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.
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
To the person reading this: Even though I don’t know you, I wish you the best of what life has to offer ❤
Same to you 💞
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
😂
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
Nothing better than having fresh herbs on hand!
Everyone has a television show or CZcams 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!
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!
“ I have grown my own herbs for decades ! - with out actually knowing what I’m doing “ 😂😂 me af
This was the most informative herb garden video I've come across for someone who's a complete newbie to gardening. You answered all my questions throughout the video, like drainage, soil, sunlight, crowding, etc. Saving this for the near future, thank you!
chef john youve completely convinced me into buying some herbs and pots for a garden now lol
I love that CZcams recommends your older videos that I have missed.
I've come to this channel for recipes for many years, so imagine my pleasant surprise when searching on CZcams to start an herb garden and there you are again! Thank you for all the help over the years, Chef John!
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.)
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!
Wow Chef John, you have videos for everything that I can think of and ask for!! Always impressed by your humbleness and knowledge 👍
I love chef John voice, his spirit and his persona and i wish to thank him for all the wonderful advises.:-)
I just got a beautiful selection of culinary herbs for Mother's Day and now after watching your video I know just eat to do to care for them. Thank you!!
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. :)
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?
Thanks! This is the best tutorial for a simple herb garden I’ve seen. I especially appreciated the demonstration of how to "pinch them back."
This was exactly what I needed. I plan on doing a herb garden this summer and this was perfect! Thank you chef John!
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.

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!
So addicted to growing plants....great pots ...nice varieties...enjoy
Yours is my favorite subscription. I cannot believe you do this for free. Would love to see you have a cooking show on television. You have so much knowledge to share. You are truly talented in cooking AND in delivering your message.
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 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.
It couldn't get any simpler than this! Thanks for sharing Chef John!!
Awesome video! I started my herb garden like a year ago and now its like a herb paradise.
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
Great video, nice herb garden! I'm heading to the gardening store!
These flower pots are adorable!
I always love watching your videos. Im finally going to make a herb garden in my backyard. Thanks for the helpful tips!
Thai Basil is in my top 5, grows like a weed, fragrant and amazing unique flavor!
This guy is just brilliant
Beautiful herb garden ... thanks for sharing your tips.
Lot's of lovely tyme. I like the herb garden immensely. Thanks for showing us.
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 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.
I cracked up at "Italian in the front, creek on the back, Italian in the front, creek on the back" so happy i came across your channel I love herbs as much too. Wish me luck!!!
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
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 :)
i cant get over the fact that your voice goes up after every sentence! love the way you talk and amazing channel
This is wonderful, so practical, and helpful. I've always wanted to grow herbs but have been so intimidated so this looks so ideal and thanks for the great tips and tutorial!
those decorative terra cotta pots are darling!
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!
Was anybody else waiting for a sprinkling of cayenne ? Lol
😂😂😂
That basil looks incredible!
As always, I enjoyed. You, Chef John, are my favorite channel on CZcams! Thanks for being you.
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!!!
...oh my darling Lemmon thyme ...
Nick D'Annunzio Thou art lost and gone forever, dreadful sorry cleme- lemon thyme.
The waft of fresh herbs through your apartment is just worth the effort and nice to come home to.
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
You've finally hit 1,000,000+! Congrats, Chef John!!!!! What a great video!! Thank you :)
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!!
Thanks Food Wishes! I'm in Western Australia 🇦🇺 and have found this video the best for container herbs 🌿
this has been the simplest and greatest vid ive seen on growing herbs. thanks
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).

Was waiting for something like, "After all, you are the Herb Brooks of how your herbs look".
You voice makes me HAPPY!!! 😍😍😍
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.
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..."
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.
Thanks! I've been considering starting my own herb garden but didn't know how difficult it would be to maintain. This is perfect!
I loved this!!! The way you talked and what you said was so funny!! Love it!!
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!
Give us an update for the herb garden!
probably your best video ever. gotta start with the basics. thanks 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.

you have a musical way of talking, very interesting you need some beats in the background.
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.
Amazingly helpful! I've always wanted to start growing my own herbs!!
Brilliant video! You really cover all the bases and present a whole philosophy of food instead of just recipes, which I love :)
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!
I just planted a herb garden. I think next year I will grow them from seeds. The plant starters are getting pretty expensive.
Your voice and energy really make this enjoyable!
Thanks, Chef John. I really enjoy your videos, with your good information, with your upbeat good humor. 😃
Italian in the front. Greek in the back. LOL.
Geez this guy knows how to garden too? !
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!
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 a HUGE help. my herbs are ready to go out now.
🙏 thanks for the encouragement on growing herbs keep planting 😊 thanks for sharing friend
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.
win!
Perfect video!!! I was researching this and this came out. Ill make a gift basket for my mom including everything you have on the video.
I looooooove all your videos, I´ve wanted to start a herb garden buy never had info. on how to start it (don´t have a green thumb at all) you make it seem so easy, you got me all pumped up, so herb garden, here we go, I´m going to give this a try. Thank you for posting this video and I am definitely going to ENJOY!!!!!
Can't wait til I have a backyard.. at least I have a window.
Not a single weed joke.
Sheff Jon smoked mad blunts b4 vidZ
sij tal He was totally reppin' trees in his grilled cheese video.
meadslosh Actually he's never done drugs before, he's stated he thinks it rots the mind and causes you to lose your innate creativity. I agree with him quite frankly. Most stoners I know are pretty much losers lol. xddd
sij tal Also, he posted a BAKED frittata on 4/20.
danielvutran Thats just because you only know the obvious stoners. A lot of kids at my school maintain 4.0's even though they smoke an average of three times a week. Besides, a lot of great creative geniuses and musicians have been heavy drug users. (though personally I do not condone heavy drugs)
Thank you so much for these tipps! This video seriously improved my herb game ❤️
A herb garden is so healing on so many levels....it's not just a thing....it's a must!
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.
