Just a head's up, the link posted for the average season lengths is wrong (or has changed since you posted). It should be: https://www.farmersalmanac.com/average-frost-dates 🙂
Sonoma County: Its been a few years since I've grown but I have a great garden going this year. Multiple tomatoes, peppers, radish, watermelon, carrots, cucumbers, potatoes, turnips, green beans, basil, strawberries! Its going to be delicious!
What nickname do your colleagues have for you?
Love your channel! I live on the central coast of California so not too far away from you guys. You have great content and I look forward to your future videos.
Santa Clara County here: also zone 9B. I've gotten some massive korean cucumbers that I grew from seeds that are sold in korean grocery stores. very prolific, great for eating fresh as well as for pickling. Also grew some massive 1.5lb korean squash as well from the grocery store seed packets. Since you live up in Sac, you may want to check with Koreana market =)
Hi! I love your videos. They are very helpful. Where do you find your Carmen Sweet Pepper seeds at?
They all will grow dumbass you garden so small makes ur brain small. Can’t see how powerful a seed is….. If only you have an acre or actually been gardening for over 10 years stupid you don’t know what real gardening is
The how many days in your growing season that goes to farmers almanac doesn't work properly. They must have taken down that page or something. Or it just doesn't work on my phone.
Want to start working with seed and your video was very informative. Thanks so much!!
I love how concise and to the point your videos are. So helpful! I am going to redo our southern side yard into a food garden and your videos are making that happen! Thanks Kyle!!
Wishing you millions of subscribers! Really enjoying your videos, so informative. I’m looking for another property and will have a large backyard and a mini urban farm like yours. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for all of this content I've been binging all day. I also live in Sacramento so you are giving me a good idea of what can have success in this environment.
Zone: 6B.
First Fall Frost: October 2.
Last Spring Frost: May 14.
Growing Season: 140 days.
This was good information. Thanks for showing us how to find it. This is also helpful for someone with a shorter growing season, because it's helpful to remember not to compare my garden with yours. You have twice as long a growing season as I do! Your first frost is two months later (December), and your last frost is three months earlier (February) — so you have five more months to grow food outside than we do here! This is helpful for perspective. Good video.
Tomato: Brad's Atomic Grape. Very good flavor, I prefer lower acidity. Weirdest tomato I have seen. I'm in El Dorado Hills but they were grown by my son in Orangevale.
Kyle, do you ever get reprimanded by the state of California for your water consumption? My sister lives just a little southwest of Sacramento and gets in trouble with a garden much smaller than yours.
Can you please make a video on citrus tree care over winter?
I certainly hope you don’t tire of this. You are very good.
LOL eat something at a restaurant… cries
What seeds do you recomend we grow in Cleveland, TN for a beginner gardener like me (this will be our first garden)?
Kyle. I was wondering what type of Tangerine tree is next to you in this video
How'd those smuggled Italian tomatoes end up storing this fall and winter?
I’m in Austin Texas and wanted you to know that I love your videos and I shocked to learn you were a fireman love that you take the time to grow a garden for your family and thank you so much for your service and stay safe out there.
New sub here. As a retiree, I should have a better garden. If only I've heard you a long time ago, I'd be an expert by now. I also live in your hometown.
Another great video…you mentioned storing seeds in a cool dry place but didn’t get too specific. My dad always save his in the refrigerator…is that the best place?
I just found your channel! I am gardening I Canada, but you have so many great ideas, and I have found some inspiration! Thank you!
Hi Kyle, great content. Love all your seed selections and the companies you buy from. Urban Seattle, zone 8, shady yard. My most favorite tomato is Costoluto Genovese. Fantastic taste fresh for sandwiches but it also makes the best sauce. I don’t have to grow two kinds. Reliable and prolific. Add King of Siberia. Amazing yellow. I swear by Queen of Malinalco tomatillo which I also eat crunchy and fresh in salads. Adjvarski is a pepper that is yummy fresh but also makes a very, very good roasted pepper for storage. I have trouble having enough sunny days nor the room to grow winter squashes but Red Kuri never disappoints. So many others. Mostly Baker Creek because I choose to buy from great companies that promote diversity in the seeds as well as their staff.
Do you have a link for you muncher/greenhouse Cucumber or something similar?
