In this episode, you will learn about many of the unique and exotic vegetables and fruit trees they have available at
this amazing nursery in the DFW area in Texas.
First, John will take you on a tour around the nursery to show you all the vegetables they are growing in large 25-95
gallon containers during the hot and humid summer in Irving, Texas.
Next, you will discover some of John's favorite fruit trees to grow in the Dallas, Texas climate.

Râu Má - Centella Asiatica or Asiatic Pennywort or Gotu Kola
We mainly juice them 🤷
Ngò Gai is also known as "Culantro" or eryngium foetidum a tropical perennial herb
Ngò ôm in English is called "Limnophila aromatica" also called as "rice paddy herb"
It's a herb. Vietnamese use in soup to give a combo of scent and flavor of lime/lemon, basil, among others. You can use in salads or as garnish 🤷. Being Canadian and Vietnamese I'm so jealous.
I'm in Mich can only grow outside from may to Oct. So I bring some of my plants in house in Oct .but if they don't get good light in house they can die.
I am in Florida, and my malabar spinach is already going to seed... but wow, great new ideas for summer : ) thank you
LOVE
Been looking for a good nursery in Dallas and so excited to see there is a good one. Going there tomorrow
Rice Paddies Ngo Om
The Jewels of Opar sprouted spontaneously in my garden and I didn't know it was edible. I tried to erradicate but the first rain brought it back in full force. They don't need any care at all and go very well in hot Brazil Summer. We call them "Major Gomes" for some reason.
Went to this place today.. great place, thanks John.
I live in Central Texas and I am really excited to go this spring. Thank you John!
Great review, will definitely go check out this nursery being in the DFW area! Thanks John. It looks like the heat was treating you well on this day
i'm thinking of going there for some citrus. do they have calamondin? kumquat?
NO GUARANTEE = NO SALE
Thanks for this. I was hoping to get some of these plants next year, but wasn't sure where I would get them.
FYI, no need to get okra starts here in the Dallas area. Just stick the seeds in the ground. Okra can't help but grow here on Texas.
We started okra from seed and they produce tons! We would've had a lot more but a storm killed most of them.
Thankyou so much again been watching your videos all day because I'm getting into composting but live in am apartment so I'm trying to grow my own food even if it's in pots!:)
Traffic in the back to distracting. Couldn't even watch this
Hey John - I just found some unusual plants at OC Farm Supply in Orange, CA. I thought the prices were good too. Among other things like peppers, they had Mushroom plant, Sweet Leaf, French Tarragon, and Papalo. I hadn't been in there in awhile, and was surprised to find unusual crops that you've mentioned before. Now I can try them.
So I have a question. I have a DWC system. My pH is 6 I followed the nutrients instructions and I have a grow light and a small fan to help keep plants cool yet my plant which is a bush bean plant has not grown for about 2 weeks now. leaves are a dark green not wilted but they have tipped down slightly and as well. Am I doing something wrong or did I just get 2 bad plants?
Hi John. Thanks for making these videos. You taught me a lot about different plant. Being an Asian I eat a lot of greens and to my surprise , you know most of them and more. Now I value those Asian greens much more now. I used to live in Dallas and been to Doan's nursery. Now I moved to Houston and I go to JRN nursery and was surprised you did a video about it. Anyways I have this Asian vining plant that we eat and I don't know the English name for it. The leaf is heart shape and can get to be hand size. It's hairy /fuzzy and the top is green and back leaf is purple. It can grow wild and seems to have no pest issue. It has a weird odor when bite into it. I wish I can put picture here in comment. Do you know what plant is it ?
would have to see it to be sure, but its probably Paederia lanuginosa also known as la mo long. It doesnt really have a smell until you pick it and then it smells alot as it dries. It took me a few days to figure this one out! Got it at JRN and the lady didnt know the english name, there really isnt one.
I've gone to this nursery for years. They are nice people there. It is not fancy but they do have many nice plants. And yes, wear your muck boots, it's always muddy there.
thank you so much for this. I live in the Dallas area and you just saved me a trip to Houston.
Awesome educational video:')
Will they ship the longevity spinach?
Thanks so much!

Can you talk more about Asian diet and why they're so healthy. They also seem to be very good at video games...
Thanks once again John...another great episode!
tomatoes don't do well in high Texas heat? I've been growing tomatoes for years here with no problem.
dude, this would be a great video if you would not have so much repetition
I live in the heart of deep East Texas and some day you can come shoot a video here. Nacogdoches is the garden capital of Texas.
You're so awesome. You make me so happy with your nursery reviews - especially ones I can hit because I have fam in DFW!!! So excited. I be like "I totally want to visit you . . . now . . . " ;-)
Thank You for your very helpful information for my garden
John you're so cheap. Buy yourself a normal camera.
And a hat, keep that outside as good as your inside. Beat that heat!

Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LIVING EARTH IS A GOOD DIRT PLACE HERE IN DALLAS
Shared. Food for my newbie gardening brain. Thank you for the video.
dude I am in dallas!!! if I knew you were here Id come meet you man!!!
your right by my work. :)
cool tour! there are a few plants there that I grow. growing Malabar spinach for the first time. noticed it is just going in one main (6ft) vine, and I've plucked the largest leaves near the bottom. Should I cut it back to encourage branching? Or harvest from the tips rather than from the base? The Ngo-Om looks like a relative of oregano. What did you find out about it?
thanks for the list. I love your garden; would like to see it more often.
Does anyone know how to save the Culantro seeds?
I love Texas but damn it gets crazy hot here in Houston. It limits what you can grow substantially.
Plants for all seasons has a pretty diverse selection of veggies, or at least they did earlier in the year. One of the only places I have been to that sells diverse plants including peanut plants.
one thing I like about john is that he is so honest...his 'don't worry about going inside because all the cool stuff is around the side' major props my man. you have the job I would love to have....keep growing greens
thanks for the info, I love your videos!!!
Thank you! Live in Dallas, TX - involved with getting a community garden started. Won't be using these in the beds because concerned about invasive species. Very glad that you pointed that out. Should be ok if in containers though. Enjoyed learning about these different veggies! :)
Very good information on Asian plants
Your videos have inspired me to start a garden this year. Malabar spinach is doing really well this summer in containers. Hope you come down to Austin some day!
I'm soooo happy u came to Texas and done these videos!!!! Thank u
dude, i was in the DFW area yesterday! probably drove right by you while you were filming! when are you coming back to Houston?
greath weather season
how long lives a tree of tomato? how long it can be harvested? thanks
Thank you for giving me some great ideas. Love all your videos keep up the great work
So awesome you came visit in my hometown of Dallas TX. Keep sharing with the world!
29:20 you missed an outtake :-D
"We need to get rid of green plants, they keep us dependent on C02 , without green plants we wouldn't need C02 in the first place . And those nurseries pump in C02 for fertilizer. Someday we will bring C02 levels down to zero and finally clean this earth of all this messy disgusting carbon based life forms and the earth will finally be clean..and barren" ~ Weird AL Gorebalist
Anna Olsén Olson
Meta Patriot barren.
Nice John you have studied some T.C.M. ??? Traditional Chinese Medicine? You should totally do an episode or more dedicated to some of THE PLANTS. .... :-D

NO way , John !!!!! My Old Man was forced to eat the Okra when he was a child, and, he says it is slimy, and , he eats NASSSSSSTY things !!!! You'd really have to cook it up good and with some spices and then maybe I'll try some ? hahahahaha.
"Ghost" , Dead Nettles, John ?!?!?!?! ... WHAT do the whites give us John? I know you say SOME of the purples are good for us. But what about rare, new, white, "greens" ?
Hahahahaha, hey, "bro fist" though right. You inspire many more GUYS to garden, than you realize, I'm sure. And "weeds" that just show up? That we can EAT? Yes let me see if it keep growing I'll send you some seeds if I can right.
HEY you know what I got though? Peppercress !!!!!! And Nettles ?!?!?!? SO that's awesome right. "Brand new" this year.

My father in law is in Pearland. Say hi to him if you see him ;). His name is Rafael.
culantro!! i can't find any seeds.. everyone is sold out.. do they still have seeds?
thanks again, evergreenseeds is in Anaheim Ca, right down the road from me :D you are awesome!!! enjoy your evening.
wow that is a long time... thank you so much Samantha!!
Southern California Gardening sorry I meant Culantro but my autocorrect changed my spelling. Kitazawaseeds has it listed under Vietnamese herb. Just an FYI it takes a very long time to germinate up to 3-4 weeks. I sell them as starter plants up here in Minnesota and start mine at the end of February. They grow better in shade
thank u :) i am looking for Culantro (Eryngium Foetidum) do they sell these? everyone i have checked with is sold out.
Kitazawa or evergreenseeds sell cilantro seeds

Hey GYG just wanted to say thanks for your recent video's in Irving Tx. I currently live about 3 blocks from this location and after watching your video's have developed a green thumb. Keep up the great work!!
Meh. It's not that hot here in Texas. But Arizona.... 😬
Yeah it is!
Christina Forsythe Still worser in Arizona. Btw have you tried growing a plant in the desert? From Miami, Florida.
Rain thunder have you been here in Texas long? no. it's not hot YET. a month from now, it will never get below 90, even at night. and the humidity will still be 85%. maybe not actually as hot as the desert, but the humidity will make it feel much hotter. MUCH MUCH HOTTER than the actual dessert
First like..........yeah
Marty Handley almost lol
