i love the signs, where did those come from?
Very beautiful ! We're these all grown organically ?
What are those lovely signs you used for the garlic?
How many sq ft is your lot?
You know what i tried to plant a spinach and a goat eat it all 🙁
A great selection of growing options, some great colors and a very neatly organized operation.
Thank you so much for your videos. We live in Tuscany, in an area with weather exactly like Seattle from mid-November through February (zone 8b). Then, we get a spring and fall like San Deigo (zone 10a), but hot and humid in the summer, with a very strong sun (the hardiness map says 8b, but we NEVER have had a warm spring and hot summer like this in Seattle, even with climate change). Our soil is very rocky with a high enough clay content that a town nearby has a terra cotta museum! I'm doing my first gardening here, and have gotten so many good ideas from you.
Just before the pandemic began, we had put in a large raised bed (2m x 2/3m x 1/2m) with the intention of an early spring planting…oh well, we just returned a month ago after 15 months out of the country. I ordered a number of grow bags, and bought more pots. I'm having a great time planting away, and looking forward to learning more and expanding my garden. Can't wait to read your book next winter. Next purchase will be a moisture and ph reader, as watering is a huge concern, as it soil nutrition.
My biggest challenge is that I haven't found anyplace to purchase mulch; I have decided to start begging newspapers off folks to shred for that use. Also, because of drainage concerns, I put several rows of wine bottles from friends who own restaurants and can't recycle them, in the bottom of my bigger raised bed. That seems to provide decent drainage, and stitll gives plenty of room for root systems to grow.
Dammmmm plant daddy, that apron tho
I would love to buy your book but it doesn't ship to Canada, Alberta. Any chance you might open shipping to other countries? Love your videos.
dang now I have to sub XD I want to see that cabbage fully grown!!!!!
I am from Florida and I am about to start my own urban garden, my neighbors are about gonna get a lot of free veggies in the next few months lol I love your channel and I love your honest and relatable experiences that allow us to grow a more successful eatable garden 🙂 thank you!
17:42 Was anyone else thinking Minecraft?
Suggestions on where to get potatoes seeds. I'm in Valencia CA and am enjoying gardening and want to do container potatoes maybe a half wine barrel
How's that bee hive thing doing? I thought about getting one but didn't know if it was a gimmick or not
2:17 anyone know if that is ragged jack / russian red kale??.. cuz that is what mine looks like… greenish leaves but red stems… cuz the picture on my bonus seed pack from Baker Creek, shows the leaves as dark purple… i was wondering if i messed up somehow.. but maybe not?
The botanical blessing gets me every time. Might be my favorite part, of not, the occasional “boop”!
Do you have a video on the soil troubleshooting? That would be good to see.
Anytips for planting bell peppers?
My favorite way of cooking beets for those who don’t like them: steam them with equal parts red wine vinegar and water in the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 2 to 2.5 hours or until they are very tender and a fork punctures with very little resistance. Used to really not like beets until I tried them this way, and now they are my absolute favorite vegetable!
Kevin,
I will be moving soon. I am more interested in a large lot than the home itself. I really appreciate the videos that show your viewers how to start put. I have enjoyed your videos for some time now. My only addition will be rabbits and chickens if l possibly can go that route. I am retiring and buying in the Houston area.
Please keep up the great work.
One last thing, where did you get the starts for the lemon grass? I raised lemon grass in The Philippines and enjoyed stuffing chicken with the herb before l baked the chicken in a black style brick wood fired oven.
Have you considered getting a hive of bees? A top bar bee hive would be neat.
God bless you, your channels and God bless America.
Hi Eric, I would love to know where you found the natural bee hive for on top of your pea trellis.
Hi, could you let me know where you got the potato signs? Thank you
My issue is always dirt (compost) I never have enough. How did you manage to fill all your beds?
Love, love, love your channel and this was a fun tour to watch. Great job! Its beautiful already!!
On the smash potatoes you should try frying in bacon grease instead of baking it
Have you ever thought about growing turmeric?
