I love your attitude. You're like the Steve Irwin of gardeners. Cheers to you.
I couldn't agree more lol. Well stated
Sounds right to me.
I hope a potato doesn't end up killing him 😢

Man this guy is a classic, never thought I’d enjoy a video about gardening but here we are
The most important thing I try to put in every year is pumpkins. I plant them in odd corners of my garden and let them ramble over everything. They're incredibly easy to grow, just glop some pith and seeds down with some compost and check it every so often. 6 months later there's pumpkins. It's one vegetable that no matter how busy or exhausted I am I can find the time and energy to start them off and they keep doing their thing with very little input, and though I do like to get out there with a paintbrush and give them a little help it's not really necessary. Harvest in time for pumpkin soup, roasted pumpkin, pumpkin muffins, oh my.
So true. Once we composted by accident some pumpkin leftovers with seeds and they grew on compost.
Pumpkins watermelon and zucchini are my three plant and walk aways. Come back later and you always have a good crop
Paintbrush? Is the orange color in acrylic or oil?
If the world was populated by more guys like him, there would be world peace, little or no disease and a lot more joy
True. Sustainability is the way
Love helpful people good team players 👏 👍

I water the grass with wine. It comes up half cut
Nice joke!
I don't just love your content, I love the AUDIENCE. Yes guys, I enjoy reading all the comments. I'm sure he does too. If everybody tried to be self-sufficient and grow plants to eat, wow, what a great world this would be. I totally agree with this passion for gardening. I grew up old school with a mother who gardened every year. NONE of us were obese, I was a size 7 when I was 18. It all went downhill after college and going to buffets...but man, I want to go back to the organic Gardening.
CHOCKER UP THE BLOCKER there were so many little gems sprinkled through this video but this one was the best great vid, trying to make the transition from houseplants to actual food and this is very helpful!
This dude is f*cking fantastic. Like... I hope his favorite sports team does well and that his socks come out of the laundry right next to their matching partner every time.

Good one 🤠
This is the moment I liked and subscribed
😂🤣👍
so good for our gutHEARTbrains
Mike I've been watching your channel on and off whenever you roll into my feed. I was at first primarily interested in Ginger, but your passion for gardening ignited my passion for Gardening. You've earned my subscription. This will be my first adult gardening since decades ago when I was a young girl watching my mother garden. We grew up eating healthy organic vegetables every year for at least 2 decades before everybody grew up and moved away to the big cities. So this year, after surviving a 3 year fight with Cancer, I am going to take up gardening. I may have to go back and watch your videos from days gone by...but I enjoy all of your new content too. Please show more videos of how your family cooks or stores the goodies from your garden. I found your last video of the potato stew very sophisticated. I don't think the average gardener could have pulled off your one pot delicious meal. I myself would have boiled or baked the potatoes put some herbs and butter and done. But you took it to the next level with all your herbs, spices and turned it into a 4 hour stew. WOW. I was impressed.
Great stuff once again! Agree that potatoes pretty much grow on their own. The only other few vegetables I'd include would be zucchini/summer squash & garlic. Honorable mention to bok/pak choi (part of cabbage family) and spinach. I suppose it really depends on your climate, sun/shade situation, etc. But tomatoes, zucchini/summer squash, beans (green), peas & garlic are probably my top picks. Love your channel and info!
I'm not sure how I got here, but I'm TOTALLY staying. I loved this guy.

Great info
All my faves.
I used leftover red sauce from stuffed peppers for red beans and rice. It was delish.
Mark, I like your australian accent but you pronounce in german also very well. Thanks for all your hints. Wish I had such garden space and similar climate to grow most of my own food.
My peas has just started to grow easter weekend is the best time to grow peas 🫛 by us i have at least 200 peas 🫛 growing lot's of love from south africa ❤❤❤❤
“When I think about onions it brings tears to my eyes” Immediate thumbs up
😭
:-))
My eyes rolled back into my scull so far I started to see the past when I heard that one, still yes, thumbs up.
My grandfather would hand till an acre of land every year and plant most of these. He also had 5 honey bee hives. He lived to be 95 and was still doing this until he was 94.
That was the way of life to live a long time. My grandfather had bananas all kinds and bee hives, they are attracted by the bananas the honeysuckle on the trees...mmmm
DNA not food. Yiu have his genes Good luck
That's dope! You're lucky to have had that example and fountain of wisdom in your life.
@@martha6829 what do you mean a long time ago. My family still do this.
Mad respect to him! I never garden and I rented a tiller today to make two parallel rows on a hill and it was the ridiculously difficult to do the entire process. I have a newfound respect for farmers
Awesome list! Since I'm in Brazil my list would be a bit different, chuchu (chayote), couve (kale) and aipim (cassava) are very easy and cheap to grow in the climate that I live, and my parents actually have been growing them for years.
Funny accent yet easy to understand, no fluff or background music, dad humor I've made it to God's golden shores
i AGREE W/ YOU. Music in the background is so annoying. Thanks for not having music!!!!!A Take care!!!!
You nailed it!
What's funny about his accent?
@@reogrande8020 very different from mine and thus novel to me :)
I too love the fact that there's no broken record playing in the background.
Please watch also as he has excellent tips and additional info but heres the list for convenience. 1. Lettuce 2. Carrot 3. Cabbage 4. Beetroot 5. Onion 6. Cucumber 7. Peas 8. Beans 9. Tomatoe 10. Potatoe Give the man a big thumbs up!
Thank you!
Yep. And that’s why it’s called coleslaw. Slaw is a contraction for the Dutch word for salad. So coleslaw means cabbage salad.
My dad grew them all
Thanks
Made my day👌
Eventhough the Netherlands does not have the optimal conditions of growing zucchini, I always plant one or two climbing vine in my tiny city garden each year :) variating results of course, but still very nice
Are all Aussie this happy and cheerful? It seems like heaven on Earth.
I wouldn't take away from your top 10 vegetables but I would always grow a variety of herbs to use to cook with these 10 top vegetables.
Totally agree, but have learned cilantro best in spring & fall, basil my favorite best in summer, call it water gage plant when leaves at sides know to water it & all my others, oregano & sage best in shaded areas, & every year my dill gets eaten up by catapillars. Years of trial & error. He lives in a tropical climate & probably has better luck then most of us when it comes to gardening. Every year I'm getting better with the help of people like him. Wish you the best with your gardening.
Great idea 👍
@@jennyl.5358 , good point, different growing seasons depending on where you live; here in Louisiana I grow cilantro and parsley in the winter- it's too hot in the other seasons so it bolts immediately.
Yes! I love my herb garden- we harvest from it almost every day. Here in north Louisiana, USA we even harvest all winter. We have a bay tree along with the herbal spiral.
Planted my basil and oregano seeds ( indoor ) today! 🇨🇦
"Without potatoes, you only get a half meal at Mcdonald's". Funny guy. And I LOOOVE his garden.
Couldn't agree more! 💖
What are the all weather fruits n vegetables grow in south Australia ?
@@mabel6849 good question
I can’t wait to get my own place with a nice yard and grow a nice garden like you! I love fresh veggies there’s nothing better than eating the fruit of your toil.
I really love your entertaining videos! (Btw: Cabbage in German is Kohl. Sauerkraut is fermented Kohl in small stripes.) I would hope that you are right when you say that you can grow these veggies in every climate. :) I live in the tropics near the ocean since over a year and started permaculture and I really try to grow onions and potatoes, but I am nearly giving up. Onions not even sprout. They are the worst experience at all! Green onions sprout but stay as a weak kind of gras since 3 month now 😆. Potatoes start sprouting and growing a bit and than always die without a visable reason. (sweet potatoes are growing like crazy). With the beets I also had no real success so far. There comes a weak plant that not really is building up a bulb. For the carrots I am praying. Its my second try and they sprouted and are growing "shy" as the beets. My cucumbers last year came up very easy and good, but all the fruits were bitter and ended at the compost 😏. What grows good so far are sweet potatoes, maniok tomatoes and peppers, but they like the dry season much more than the rainy season. Also different kinds of beans and herbs are easy. If you know a good yt channel regarding the tropics, I would be thankfull to get the information. regards, Ani
Congrats on the sweet potato harvest! What a great starch
@sternistellaris - There must be some Master Gardeners or an government agency nearby that can give you hints that would make growing vegetables possible.
Try a more shady area and use good compost. They should never get more than 12 hours of direct light
@@danhatstat6890 but we have only 12 hours daylight here in Panama. 🙂 On the daylight season the sun is murderishly hot. Yes, I now have many pots in halfshade behind the house and I am even successfull with strawberries.
@@OwMeEd thank you. sweet potatoes are growing now like wheeds everywhere. It's so easy in my climate.
The Steve Irwin of gardening. He’s so wholesome it makes me feel safe and happy and I can’t wait to get gardening this season. I’m making some compost for my worm beds :))
Nice! I just collected over 800 pounds of compost yesterday! 👍🏻 I’ve never been this ready this early for spring planting! Best of luck! 😇
@Karen S Same here! 😎 I do a four bin. The fourth is beauty waiting for sale, barter or worm farm. It moves really quickly...
Awesome!
Worm beds sound terrific !! 😃
@@SweetChicagoGator A worm bed every year. Easy and inexpensive. The BEST fertilizer! And what the fish love!

Mark is a wonderful person! I'm better just knowing him, and what drew me in was his beautiful logo about seeing the Earth through her eyes. 💜🌏🦋
I love eating Best Maid baby koshers (if my kids don't eat them all), then using the same brine to put canned beets into. Love my beets to be a bit on the sour side, than the sweet side, but how boring of a world if we were all the same. I don't have enough space for a garden at the moment, but I enjoy watching your videos. They bring me joy. God bless you for that! From Austin, TX, Cheers 🍻
I love your energy! I'm excited about gardening and trying to grow different veggies now. Very informative and fun video, thank you!
You’re a natural in front of a camera my friend. Informative and entertaining, Well done.

My garden philosophy is to grow things that are better (or much, cheaper) than you can buy. I don't grow your #10 lettuce because I don't like soft young leaves. I prefer iceberg (better quality and inexpensive in groceries). I don't grow carrots. Homegrown are generally not as good as store-bought. I notice that you grow the short cultivars because larger ones are much harder to grow. You don't get much to eat on the short ones. I don't grow cabbage. Store-bought is as good or better, and it is a magnet for bugs in the garden. But I love growing its relative: kohlrabi, which is usually old and dry in stores, if you can find it. Beets and turnips are a necessity in my garden, but here in Ohio, you have to build a wire frame over beets, or the deer get every bite. I love the roots, but the cooked greens are even better. I only grow large field onions to plait them for my kitchen wall. Store-bought onions are as good. But scallions, shallots, and esp. leeks are better home-grown. Most home-grown cukes (like Marketmore) taste similar to those in a store. I only grow Straight Eight because of the fabulous taste. As an older variety, it must be sprayed for bugs, or the bugs bring fungus that kills the plant early. Little Marvel Peas are #1 in my spring garden. Here in America, either you can't find what we call "English Peas" (shelling peas) in a store, or they are dried up. Snap peas and snow peas are not nearly as good. Beans are a necessity, esp. ones that are hard to find in stores: haricots verts, Chinese long beans, dried beans for cassoulet, caviar lentils. Over half of my summer garden is tomatoes: the new heritage hybrids (Brandy Boy, Genuwine), the great reliable classics (Big Boy, Early Girl), the best cherries (Sun Gold, Sun Sugar), and a wonderful French Import (Jaune Flamme'). The only potato that I grow is yummy Kennebec because I can't get it in a store. You left out some necessities: I grow Golden Bantam corn because stores only carry those sickeningly sweet newer bicolor cultivars. Next to tomatoes, the main crop in my summer garden is eggplant: Black Beauty and Rosa Bianca. There are home-grown peppers that beat everything in any store: Marconi and genuine Hatch (NuMex 6-4).
love ya mark. many seasons in and you still show me stuff i had never thought of. bloody legend
Great list! I would take carrots off however just for the simple fact that (at least in the U.S.) you can still buy organic carrots for pretty cheap and they're available at most grocery stores including WalMart. I would take those off and add either kale or a spinach variety as these can be expensive to purchase and will save you money to grow on your own plus get all the great health benefits.

Love the list. I agree generally, and love the note of when I can eat the leaves of a root vegetable.
"Was ist das ? Das ist ein Kohl/Kraut" it's only Sauerkraut if it is already fermented. I was so surprised to suddenly hear german out of nowhere :)
Weisskohl ganz konkret :D
@@damanicrunz7979 Weisskraut in Bayern. :-D
Honestly, this dudes delivery of dad jokes is just spot on
Every year I also grow zucchini, basil, and hot and sweet peppers. I make pesto with the basil and freeze it in small containers to eat all year. I also have an herb garden which after established, takes care of itself in my climate (USDA zone 8b).
I'm in Pennsylvania and growing tomatoes, cucumbers, potatoes, sweet potatoes, spring onions, beets, lettuce, herbs, garlic, celery, eggplant, and zucchini. Also have grape vines. Not bad for living within city limits on less than 1/4 acre :) Might throw in some carrots too!

Have fun! I hope you enjoy it as much as my family and I have (we just started about two years ago!)

Had a good laugh at that quote! “Incredible that someone would actually do a study to find that out” that’s GOLD!
I really can't comprehend anyone downvoting this video. It should be taught in schools! Well done to the author!
I'm teaching this in my environmental classes (especially hydroponics). I get a good many kids growing their own veggies, and growing them with grandparents (CoVid they really started doing those "at home" things). I might make this one video part of their homework. I've got a 2k grant to spend on this :) Very excited.
In this world there are all kinds of people
Yes, I wonder about the thumbs down people. I love these videos.
Because trolls hate veggies
such a valid point NOURISHING GOODness for our kids futures... history lesson Let FOOD BEE THY medicine and medicine BE Our FOOD
Also for carrots, you can use the greens (carrot tops) to make a pesto - it's similar to an arugula as in it's got a peppery kick to it.
I love your enthusiasm and knowledge. Keep it coming!❤❤❤❤❤
Great list of complementary plants to grow in a garden! Cooking dry beans for less flatulence Rinse beans Bring water to boil Pop beans into boiling water and immediately take off heat Let sit for about an hour Drain, rinse Cook beans as you normally would. Quick soak starting in boiling water releases many of the sugars that cause gas
Woh thanks for the tip! :)
Now I know . Thanks
Though I'd add two veggies simply because of how much I love them: pumpkins and garlic
Yeh, I would have swapped beets for garlic
I'd swap lettuce for Garlic, and definitely add pumpkin keeps for a year too.
Yes garlic FOR SURE even if it's wild garlic, always put some in flower bed to keep out the pest, too.
Garlic is definitely needed
Oh, pumpkins, YES. I let volunteer pumpkin vines grow out of the compost bins, because free food I didn't have to plant or fertilise, and they keep SO WELL. Just, massive amounts of versatile food. Pumpkin scones, pumpkin soup, pumpkin curry, roasted pumpkin, mashed pumpkin, pumpkin cake, pumpkin layered into lasagna, pumpkin in yachaejong pancake, leftover pumpkin in bubble and squeak on toast, pumpkin with pork... I could pumpkin all day. How did I forget to add that to my list? Garlic sadly remains one of those things that I have invested so much time and money into growing... and never got a single bulb. Wrong climate, buggerit.
Thank you Mark love all the information shared Enjoy your sense of humour Thank you and God bless you and your family
You should probably do a video on 10 veggies that can be grown in pots or grow bags - it may benefit those like me who don't own a huge space.
Definitely agree…and so would grandma who has been gardening for 70+ years and still gardening strong in her 90’s. Love it!
@Dawn... wow! kudos to your grandmother!
Hello Dawn,, how are you doing today, how’s everything going Dawn?
I've just started a mini patio garden in containers which I'm going to expand upon over the coming months, I don't have much space but your videos are fantastic! So far just some rocket, onions and starting some basil indoors. Can't wait to add some more to it though!
Love the list. Love the kookas in the background. Thanks for all the info.
"Chocker up the blocker" my new favorite expression for constipation! XD
This guy is golden! *thinking of onions, brings tears to my eyes* 😅
The white onion and purple onions are sweet, but I still can't bring myself to take an "apple" bite out of one.
That's the line that got me cracking up too
Thanks for this video. One of the things I like during winter is planning the coming garden. Since you asked what I would change in your list I'll tell you. I wouldn't change much but I'd swap the lettuce out and plant squash - both summer & winter varieties.
Thanks for the good information. I live in the city and your advice is very useful. Love your channel and your sense of humor. Keep up the good work.
🤣 Your onion joke had me laughing until I had tears in my eyes.
Wait is that another onion joke?
Wait, hold on... Which one are you referring to? 4:52, 4:56, 5:00, 5:06, 5:10, 5:37 or 5:46?
The joke killed lol!
@@andanssas 4:52 😂
Not me, I love onions but have to wear swimmers goggles to cut them.
Peppers are great to grow. No bugs or diseases where I live, tons of varieties, and grow well in containers. They're also perennials if you shelter them over winter.
sshuggi bell peppers are must!
And loaded with vitamin C
I’ll third that. Eat fresh, preserve so many ways, and in almost as many recipes as onion. Main dish or treat them like a spice to rescue terrible experiments.
for sure and in my area very few predators to mess with the peppers..
I didn't know they were perineal if sheltered. That is good to know, thank you.
My wife and I just discovered your channel and we love it! We are novice gardeners so we're learning a lot and being entertained too! We live in Canada so the growing season is greatly reduced but we still try to take advantage of what we get! The only other veg I'd love to add and wonder where it would fall in your list is zucchini (or courgette for you?) Thanks!
Hi, the cabbage is just called Kraut or Kohl, in German. Sauerkraut is just the fermented cabbage (Weißkohl or Weißkraut) 😅
Greetings from a Transplanted Kraut.
Good to know 😊

Bahaha! My husband ate lots carrots when we started eating 80-10-10. His skin turned slightly orange and as we were driving down the toad he thought he went blind. He pulled over and said we waited too long to change our diets and started to cry. He had some old glasses that weren’t very strong and tried them to see if he could see. And it was unbelievable, but he went back 3 prescriptions. We don’t know if it was the entire diet of all raw fruit n vegys or if it was the carrots 🥕 but we were thankful. We also had so much more energy.

Excellent list, definitely gonna grow some of these. I've got some indoor grown Radish microgreens (Sparkle variety) and some outdoor Lemon Thyme, Sage, Spearmint and Fennel. Chillies and Lemons/Limes galore, and a lot of cool little natural terrariums that formed after rain. I use stored and natural rain cycles to water the indoor and outdoor plants when it's dry and hot, gardening has such a zen to it, I love it.
Love your list. I would add garlic, cauliflower, and corn. And, peppers!
He has convinced me to eat a minimum of 10 vegetables in my weekly diet and start preparing the garden beds. Brilliant and inspiring!

Lettuce is all water with fiber.
Who else hasn't stuffed a lettuce leaf to stave off thirst while picking lettuce?
Excellent video. I want to try and grow all of these. I did tomatoes and cucumbers this summer and it has me so excited to try more next year and even this winter.
Just getting started into gardening. My mom and dad being my mentors. Lettuce was #1... followed by some Anaheim Chile's, Korean peppers, garlic, green onions, perilla plants, beefsteak tomatoes, cucumbers, and still going... 😋
Remember when i was little I accidentally grew a giant bunch of pinto beans, i was playing army with the beans outside and left them out there. After a couple days of rain a few weeks later there was a bunch of beAns sprouting :) was so proud of myself
1- 0:39 Lettuce 2- 1:22 Carrots 3- 2:27 Cabbage 4- 3:40 Beetroot 5- 4:50 Onions 6- 5:55 Cucumbers 7- 7:13 Peas 8- 8:00 Beans 9- 9:07 Tomatoes 10- 10:44 Potatoes
Thanks, I always look for the one person who posts the list👍🏼
Thanks for the recap!
Great time saver. Thank you very much.
Awesomeness thank you. 🙏😊
Cheers mate.
Perfect list. These are plants that can be grown in most zones too!
I live in North Queensland so I substitute corn for potatoes as it is easier to grow. The top ten is great. Thank you for being so informative.
Garlic is a must does soo much for the body
Too much i would say, it is a powerful medicine and its really not for daily consuption.

I would give peppesr, hot and sweet an honorable mention. And squash because of the amount of food one big squash can provide.
Definitely squash, zucchini, yellow, butternut, spaghetti, and pumpkins and gourds to decorate the house in the fall. All are easy to grow but I do fight with the powdery mildew sometimes. I use cages for the butternut, and the spaghetti squash will hang and taken up less room. These last two last for a long time like the potatoes.
Yeah, my choices too. Especially the hot peppers, and just make it a Top 12 List.
@@barbaravandoorninck8825 Tomato plants get rid of mildew and mold on roses in 3 days. They might work on squash as well. Never plant tomatoes near potayoes. They are enemies .
I fully agree on the peppers. So many varieties so there's something to suit anyone's tastes. I'd also make it a top 12 and would just lump herbs into a single category. They are so easy to grow and provide so much flavor to everything else you eat that they are a must for both anyone with a garden, and for those without the space for a garden such as those living in city apartments or high rises they can be very easily grown in a window planter.
yeah man, squash is always very productive. I agree!
I love your attitude. You’re like the Steve Irwin of gardeners. Cheers to you.
love your humour and the information you provide!
Cabbage in German is "KOHL". "Weisskohl" if it is white cabbage and "Rotkohl" if it is red cabbage. "Sauerkraut", of course, is the pickled kind. Great information! Thank you!
And in low German it's called komst 😀
So what does kohlrabi mean?

mercedes…I know, I cringed when I heard the pickled cabbage name in German.
I think he s just being funny. But good to know :)
I’m of Slovak ancestry. We have at least a dozen ways to eat cabbage or kraut. Boiled, pickled, sautéed, fermented, stuffed, ... And 3 different varieties (green, blue & curly) are used routinely.
I understand fermented foods are excellent for your gut environment!!
Please share your best recipes! 😊🙏😘❤️
Everyone should be planning right now.I grew up working in the garden. I learned to can and freeze and make jellies at an early age. Thanks for the insight on the nutrional value and the health benefitd of these foods.
Brother you are so cheerful and upbeat. Not only did I learn something, I laughed and had a great time. Thank you for delivering such a useful video. Keep being you buddy, the world needs it now a days 🤜💥🤛
"The reason they started Bugs Bunny..." loved it! My grandmother used Bugs Bunny and Popeye to convince me to eat my veggies!
Oh my yes! My mom, too. 🤣 But canned spinach... 🤦♀️
My grandson has spinach Ceaser salad and eggs and spinach and grilled cheese with diced spinach all because of Popeye!
When my son was three he kept asking for spinach so i gave him some one day. He took one bite and bolted out the door. I found him trying to lift the house! 😄
I think his conspiracy theory is correct - Buggs was created to market carrots to children!
I use philips viva juicer to extract carrot juice. Then add fresh milk.. Really delicious.
I started a garden with my dad and we grow sunflowers, zucchini, peas, carrots, onions, green onions and lettuce Thanks to this guy 😁
After finding your channel a couple months ago, I’m happy to have started 9/10 on your list! I haven’t come across any beet root seeds, or starts. I’ll have to keep an eye out. Can’t say I’ve ever tried them, but they look good! It’s hard not to love a root veg!
10 out of 10 from the far side of the world. Just starting to plan my garden for the spring sowing here in Ireland and will give your 10 a go. Practical and sensible veg growing. Great stuff.
