I really enjoy the garden videos. I've mingled perrenials and herbs together in my garden at home. It's very interesting to hear Jamie talk about the history and community of food, and explanations of the the different food plants with how they can be cooked into delicious recipes. It makes people, I think, want to plant them in their own gardens and USE them for their every day cooking. Thank you.

Reminded me of some information I got after a talk I went to about Jamaica, where after it got its independence had to compete with Dole for fruit exports and so many of the mango farmers had to replant to grow only the variety Dole chose to grow thus doing us out of so many other varieties of mango. Which I thought was a huge mistake and that if those farmers had had a little more nerve they might have cleaned up in the specialty shops in New York and San Francisco, etc with their lovely local much better fruits that we only hear-tell of now.
I wonder how many varieties of herbs and spices have fallen by the wayside, much less fruits and vegetables!

I want to express my gratitude for the passion and knowledge you share with the world. Every Jamie at Home episode and Podcast has been an inspiration to me. I started a raised bed in my backyard this spring which turned into an opportunity to work at a new urban farm near where I live! As someone who is trying to get involved with growing local, seasonal organic produce for the restaurants I have been working in and around for my adult life, you are doing a great job in helping to show the way.
I look forward to watching you do your thing for many years to come.
Cheers from St. Louis!

it is nice to see someone who loves to use recipes and vegetables that are not widely used. But what about redcurrant and gooseberry. They are just fantastic for dessert.
