Apparently sucking blac Coc all winter could set you up for success at harvest time… 💀
Chris sounds so much like an evening news host. 😂
We need some zone 3 representation!
How do you hear that greenhouse, Chris?
Each fall I try to save my Cana z Lilly bulbs but they always end up mouldy. Any ideas? Can I clean these bulbs to re plant?
Finally someone who deals with snow
I had all my raised beds well covered with leaves, Between the windstorm and my chickens, they are bare. And they ate most of my cover crop seeds. It's a good thing they are cute.
Nice San Pedro
Growing plants in the snow sounds absolutely horrible. (Australian here)
Year round seedlings… I can only imagine 🙂
I am in Canadian Zone 5A, not complaining, but you gotta work for it.
Having said that, I also saw amazing backyard vegetable gardens in Whitehorse, Yukon (Zone 1A).
Zones are great, but I find daylight hours can really affect the growing season. Up in Ontario I'm still zone 6b, but it takes much longer to warm up even if the frost dates are around the same as the same zone further south
Just out of curiosity what made you choose Burdies beds instead of Vego-Garden raised beds?
Is there anyone on the epic team familiar with zone 9? We got high winds and Temps from 20 to triple digits in the high desert summer
Thank you for showing a Southern California winter! The only gardening tips I can ever find are for places that get freezes and way colder than here, so it really really helps to see you guys planting and doing things, because it definitely feels like it can happen here right now haha
Would love more details from Chris in Zone 8B setting up her low hoop house for those of us who are not very handy. I have the exact same Birdies beds (two 8-in-one and one 6-in-one). How tall are the rebar stakes? How long is the half-inch PVC? As many details as possible would be helpful. Thanks very much.
Do you know any tropical gardeners you could add to make it more complete? In many cases winter is the main growing season and the summer is too hot for most crops.
Soo basically common sense kinda crap got ya.
So 🤯 people are that stupid.
Excellent video! Love how you covered most of the zones. Zones 9 & 10, like us usually are left out of most gardening channels. 💝
The colours of the fall leaves in the Toronto? shots are astonishing.
I love how technical your videos are and how you spread the word to grow some food.
San Diego is a beautiful place. I'm dreaming and planning about next years spring here in Minnesota.
Oh, it is winter here too. In Minnesota. -10 F. Even the house is cold.
Where'd you go Kev? I need my Epic Gardening fix! 😄 It's not like you to be away so long.
Kevin, do you still like Amaranth microgreens?
The mango in India is very common and eaten a lot! they are really tasty you should try to grow some Indian crops like the Indian sweet potato by the way it's not really sweet but it's tasty! and you'll find them in India a lot with some more ingredients wich makes them really REALLY tasty, there's also potatoes normal ones grown to and oranges are really tasty here by the way most are a little bit sour but very nice and juicy! helps a lot in India cause in summer it is very hot!, the most amazing Indian sweet potato dish is cooking it in a pan flip each one for 3 to 4 mins it's above 1 but under 6 and don't forget the Indian chat masala! once you try it it's very addicting and it's so good and tasty!
Just to make sure don't mistake hay with straw. They are completely 2 different thing. Hay is dehydrated. Straw still have moister in them. I had a friend used hay for mulching instead, even over watered the plant. The plant didn't receive much water.
So remember it's straw for mulching can help plant keep the moister, not hay.😂
"Believe it or not, it is actually winter here in San Diego."
Sees healthy green seedlings and bountiful sunlight
Stares out my apartment window and sees 2-3 inches of snow on the ground
Weeps uncontrollably
Please post more videos and keep up the great work I love the videos
OMG have you guys seen the kid on FreshFood4Life? You need to do a collaborative with him. I just saw his video and he even brought you guys up. He's the future of gardening. Seriously, it would be EPIC! I don't know him or have anything to do with him but please you guys check him out.
