I grew up in a Zone 2, moved to a Zone 5 and have been transferred for work to a Zone 10! I'm very excited for all the growing possibilities in my new home, but I'm thankful you have a cool climate gardener on your team for your fans up in the North.
Good idea to add Chris. Looking forward to her comments.
Loved Chris's segment. We need the colder locations in here too. Great job mixing it up. Keep them coming.
I picked up that Center Cut Squash from Row 7, they have some awesome seeds. Also picked up the Queen of Malinalco Tomatillo and I'm excited to give it a go. On my list now, thanks to this, are the Broccoli Spigariellio and the Bietola De Costa Fine. Thanks for sharing
loved chris' segment! does she have her own channel? i follow other gardeners that live in the snow but I love epic gardening cause I also am in ca and I am finding it really is a different thing altogether to garden here
So excited for Chris on the channel!
Great suggestions! I live in Coquitlam – just 25 km out side of Vancouver. So it’s exciting to have Cris on board.
I would like to see a whole show on perennial vegetables for Pacific North West. Won’t mind a short segment on winter squash varieties.I grow them every year as they keep. All the way to May. I have just discovered an amazing variety called “Grey Ghost”.
Yes, on the carrot video!
This was fun to watch!
Lame you're not starting your asparagus from seed
I always wanted to start a garden; but I'm scared of diseases or getting sick from something I made because I feel like I'll never know enough. Any advice to overcome the fear?
So happy you guys have a new member in cold climates, closer to where I live.
Loved the inclusion of Chris’ segment. Very informative.
The tension is palpable
Can we get Chris’s social media? Or channel please. She is awesome!
I'm in the same hardness zone as Kevin, but in Australia. So I have 6 months to do my research and seed sourcing. I'm very interested in some of these tomato varieties. I wonder if any of these companies ship internationally? I brought my seeds early for this season so I was all set to go. And already have some in my stash for next Spring.
These Avengers-style videos are great! Been really amazing watching this channel grow into a full on media production company!
I'm glad to have Chris around! As much as I enjoy Epic Gardening, the California weather might as well be Narnia to me 😀
yesterday I got burpee seeds and 2 jiffy seed starting kit
I'll be interested to see how Chris's chickpeas do. I'm zone 4, temps can hit -20 in winter so none of those cold hardy perennials will make it here, darn!
Would love to learn more about cover crops !
I got the Okinawan Sweet Potato last year and harvested them for the first time earlier this year. It's sweet but not as good as the Korean or Japanese sweet potato you get from the Asian grocery store. The ones that are purple/maroon on the outside and with the white-cream flesh inside.
I love the multiple gardeners angle. I’m sooo excited to grow!
Excited to see more from Chris! What a happy accident she happens to live in my city, hoping to get some tips more relatable to my own climate.
Chris is a terrific addition to the team! Wonderful to hear 3 different views. I’m going to try ground cherries this year!
Hi Kevin! What an amazing video. I've been following you from France for a while now. Chris sounds like a great addition. I know BC well and I'm interested in seeing what she grows and how she grows it in her West Canadian "context".
Since we're talking about seeds and rare varieties, I have a question for you all: do you happen to know of a company / brand that sells true potato seeds for gardeners? I mean like a "large" brand? I found a bunch of small sellers online, but if I buy a packet of TPS, I want to be sure I'm buying something that has been properly harvested, processed and stored.
Anyway, thanks for the great channel.
