So the belt loop on the twine…can we all agree that we can market that as the “Jacque Strap”? 😂
😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Jacques Strap
Ba ha ha
OMG 😂😂😂😂
Peppers like to hold hands! I now put up to 3 peppers in a large pot that would only handle one tomato. And my serranos planted like that have about 100 peppers on them cookin' away.
Dang! Nice Jeanna
I tried two peppers per 5-gallon bucket this year and they seem happy so far. Already harvested Hatch and shishito chilies.
"Blister", don't spank, the shishitos.
Mine don't but they are planted in the ground. Maybe there's a difference?
As far as I'm concerned, epic homesteading is the main channel!
You're right, this channel has released a lot of content lately that seems to belong on the "main" channel
Whiskey-infused Sweet Potatoes! Yum!
Jacques is your comic relief
He relaxes things
Make sure y’all put a few screws into each metal band on the barrels. As the wood dries out from not having whiskey in it and being in the sun it will eventually drop the bands and split open unless you secure them.
Yes! Mine dried up pretty quick even in my Southern humidity. Also, you guys can get more than a year from them. 😀
Got to wonder if those barrels aren't completely flushed could the plants be getting pickled with each watering?
Agreed! If you let the soil dry out or leave the barrels empty the staves will dry and shrink away from the metal rings, and the barrel will fail. It won't hurt that oak to give it a shot of water when you are hand watering nearby.
Call me a redneck but I would have elevated those barrels on a single layer of bricks to protect the bottom and allow good drainage. You could probably get several years of use.
Hey guys, been using wine barrels for years......you need to put screws into each ring around the top ring and 4-6 on the bottom ring....will last for years. Good Luck
Just positive vibes all around! Thanks for bringing joy instead of drama (unless its chicken drama) :D
Boy your garden is looking amazing. I would not get tired of walking around viewing what is happening daily. Oh! Silly me, I do that daily in my veggie garden lol. Blessings from Australia ❤️
I would love to see a video on how you designed, calculated and laid out the irrigations it looks so nice and I'm struggling figuring mine out!
After watching, I’m going to add three more sweet pepper plants to my raised bed. I didn’t think about their friendships they like to have and put them too far apart. Sweet!!! To the plant store!
I single stem tomatoes for the first 3ish feet then I double stem until 6 feet. After that, well, I'm short hahaha so they do what they want from there.
I have 4 of those Whiskey Barrels and I love them, I have my Raspberry and Blueberry plants in them. I think I want to get 2 more. Great video. Showing you both love from Riverside County.
I grow alot of peppers and tomatos. We love peppers and grow as many as I can find room for.
L🥰VE IT! So much fun watching you guys. Pure entertainment 😂🤣😂
While soaking up knowledge!🙏🏻
Lovely video, you could save those shavings from the barrels and smoke some meat. Thank you for sharing ❤️❤️
At the end of a season, we give piles if tomato vines with various stages of tomatos to our chickens , because we end up with sooooo many some years and can't even give them away at that point. The chickens won't touch the leaves, but they go crazy over the tomatos. Chickens typically won't eat plants that are not good for them.
The Epic Homesteading cinematic universe is amazing.
I have 6 half wine barrels and I mounted caster wheels on the bases of them, makes them easy to move around. 👍🦘
My chickens have always eaten tomato prunings no problem
You guys have a great time together, love your video
When I used to grow peppers I would plant them close to each other, as long as they have what they need they kind of take care of each other 🌶🫑
Chile De Agua!! Great pepper from Oaxaca. They get really spicy, goes perfect with some melted quesillo (Oaxacan string cheese)
growing okra for the first time in phx zone 9b; it's doing great! i guess it's good for health to eat it young/raw? spank it plant daddy!
You can get pot feet that would lift those barrels to help the water wick away. Not super expensive
Looking fantastic great job 🧑🌾
The half barrel is what I put my raspberry bush in. I’m hoping to get one for each of my blueberry bushes and another two for Yukon gold and sweet potatoes.
As always great vid Kevin! Love the casual fun vibe. Always look forward to these.
I feel like I have a totally different tomato sucker strategy, if I had a huge sucker down low that I somehow missed I instead grow two lead tomatoes and trim everything else, so two almost full sized vines coming off a single stem close to the ground. I saw a few commercial farms going for the twofer and figured I'd mix it up if I missed any suckers early on. So far it has been very productive
I do this as well. I keep the first lowest strong sucker, and end up with two strong leaders. Later in the season I might let other suckers grow as they usually put out flowers quickly in the hotter months.
Excelente video y trabajo amigos 👏 👌 👍 💪 🙌 😉
Root those huge suckers! Not only in water but in a domed flat of moist potting soil! Within 2 weeks you have entirely other plants...without any rooting hormone...you have enough beds and enough time in the season. Wow your backyard looks great! If they weren't cut in half, you could get a second pull from good whiskey barrels by filling them two thirds full with boiled water, and rolling them around for 2 weeks in hot sun...drain, strain, bottle and cap 140 proof. Cheers 🍸🍷🌄
Enjoy watching both of your vlogs! Informative and fun. From Southeast Missouri :)
I was told when we weave that way, the plant thinks it's being "attacked" so the weave actually promotes growth and production.
You can never have enough peppers and tomato varieties. You have a ton of space compared to my tiny yard in Pacific Beach
I’m in southeast Missouri and my tomato plants are taller than me already! 🍅🌱👍🏻 Just starting to get my first ripe cherry tomatoes. I planted so many tomatoes I’m trying all the trellising methods, cages, Florida weave, cattle panel, and even a huge beefsteak tomato i over wintered in a southern window, (fresh tomatoes in April was awesome) got transplanted in ground and I’m letting it vine along the ground to see how that goes. It’s got about 10 suckers about a foot tall with flowers, so I’m expecting another harvest.
Not certain how much that bottom straight string did to clean it up. I would have at least woven the poles to add some tension. Kevin, Jacques was just reminding you he's staff after your long vacation.
Didn’t know tomato leaves were toxic. My chickens would go crazy over my cherry tomato last year. Put chicken wire around it, they still managed to get the leaves. They were fine
Aji Pineapple peppers are delicious!
Hobby Lobby here in Louisville had the cheap wooden bushel baskets on clearance for $2 each. Reminded me of your barrels. I figured for one season why not and planted my potatoes in them. Worked great, potatoes look great and kids are excited to help harvest.
Thanks for sharing!!👍
Good timing with tending to tomatoes, thanks for all the great info!
I love whiskey barrels for planting. Are those pink hollyhocks near your tomatoes? They are so pretty. I was thinking of planting hollyhocks near my chain link fence.
"Spank that okra!" - Jacques...
why do the 2 of you make plant daddy jokes so well. Hahahaha
Love the crowded pepper idea. I have wine barrels that I converted into self watering containers - they work amazing! I have 3 peppers in one and was concerned that would be too crowded, but the seem quite happy.
It's 7 am here in Arkansas 73 degrees and with 97 percent humidity and it's supposed to be 100 today
cool staff
I’ve got a couple of those JD whiskey barrels. It’s so crazy when they’re in the store they really do smell like whiskey 😂
We’ve had ours a couple years but had to screw in the bands early on because they were loosening. They’re also on a layer of bricks. But they’ve held up well! I plant pollinator flowers in them :)
I bought the power planter from Amazon and it works fantastic for mixing soil. It cuts my usual way of doing it in my gorilla cart by 2/3 in time. Thanks for showing the power planter you inspired me to buy one.
If you love pepper, you should try the cachucha pepper.
Did you tour Jack Daniels? Our climate here in TN is very different from yours in San Diego. The distillery is interesting, as is the history and the area around it is gorgeous.
Principe Borghese tomatoes are Determinate, thus it’s suggested you don’t prune out too many suckers.
You two together are so funny! Jacque is like the irritating younger brother. I love you guys together.
Lol 😂 you guys are silly I love it. Thank you for the awesome content! I picked up some Jalafuego seeds by Botanical Interests today!!! I’m excited to see how they taste 🤤
I'm watching this vid with my baby daughter and she's enthralled by you guys! Trying the weave technique this year for the first time too - let's see how that goes. Keep doing what you're doing!
Please do an entire video on the staff PLEASE
I just pulled out my tomato plants. It’s too hot in Florida already. My eggplants and peppers are still pushing out fruit though
Okras have been more challenging than I thought. Curious to see how yours do.
Vacation?! I hope you restored yourself and recharged your batteries, because we're counting on your gardening entertainment to get us through the summer. Be well. Thanks for all that you do.
love how the homestead is looking! but i must say, i’m not sure if you were joking for the dragon staff bit but native hawaiians are p much begging people to stop going on vacation there because it is pricing them out of their homes and resulting in the destruction of the ecosystem there. there are many irreplaceable endangered critters in hawaii! i’d suggest to go somewhere else for vacation next time. (i’m a longtime fan, not just a random troll!)
Those JD barrels OMG Jealous!
Lowes....
Gandalf!!!! 😂
OMG! IVE DONE THAT WEAVE AT IFAS! that's UFs ag dept....
Hawaii!?! My niece, who is autistic, would say “go to Kevin “! ROFL
Love the content - I think you need a camera stabilizer?
Cool video, where can I get the bark mulch you using on the sweet potatoe in the barrels ??
Have you guys ever heard of sweet potatoes getting sun scald? My sweet taters look really bad after this past week in NC, all brown and shriveled. I water almost every day too -Sincerely, Confused
prolly should have some "spank that okra" stickers in the store I think!?!
I've spent days tying tomatoe crops that way... did you call it the "Florida Weave?" Because we do it...
3:40 repeat
hehe, get rid of those suckers
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Your garden is absolutely awesome Kevin! I love your channels.
Question: do you ever have problems with slugs in the garden?
If so, any solutions?
Been trying to get into gardening and sustainability but the slugs are kill me😭
Beer bait traps work for those little ravenous, slimy slugs.
If you have the money for it you can buy cupper wire and fence off your beds with it in slug height. The cupper poisons the slugs due to something about their blood and slime.
If you have raised beds you can also get slug fences that go on top and create a barrier they can't climb around if you do not want to kill the slugs
I do a nightly walk around the garden and execute them. Keeps them in balance. Except the native banana slugs. They get tossed in the woods.
Happy🥦Sunday Gays🍌🥭🍏🍋🍐🥝🥔🍓🍃
Don't give chickens green tomatoes either, they are also poisonous. They can only eat tomatoes that are completely ripe. But they love cabbage and broccoli leaves, and they are really good for them. Mint leaves floated in water help to keep them cool during the hot part of the summer.
I have a couple of questions.
I was looking for your drip tape video
And the video where you show amending your soil and add the mykos to each plant hole.
Can you post those ahsin or send a link thanks
we had a crazy thunderstorm last night/morning am someone even died on a walk, it was a lot of rain too
We had one person struck in Ridgecrest (Kern County) too. Just heard that he died. 😥 Crazy weather.
How was Hawaii?
How was Hawaii Kevin?
I didn't quite catch how far up to prune the tomato plants.
3:44
He's just cutting off the branches that are hanging in the dirt and the yellow or nasty leaves for hygiene.
I've been pulling off a LOT of small hornworms from my tomatos right now. Are you spraying yours with anything to control them at this time of year?
replant those suckers! even in pots to give away.
What shoes are y’all wearing? Do you have preferred gardening shoes?
My chickens steal the lower leaves on my tomatoes
do you buy garden soil, or are are you self sufficient ? I am not happy with Kellog's potting mix as most of my crop was stunted. Anyone else have trouble with bad soil ?
0:05 is that Gandalf the whi-hermit?
I love the staff; where did u get that from?
Spank that okra!? Lol always fun to garden with friends
Jack Daniels 🤤🙃😉🙌🏻😏
Is there an update after this?
"Don't give chickens tomato leaves, they're toxic." Ooops....
Potato plants too
Is Kevin Dohvakin?
Why no potatoes? 🥔🥔🥔
Probably too hot/wrong season. Farmer's Almanac says have them planted by September 3 for me in Louisiana.
Are you raising all these seedlings yourselves, or are they bought in?
(And if so, where are you getting them in SD?)
Spank that okra! 😆
New T-Shirt idea: "Spank that Okra."
Root the tomato cuttings
Why do I feel like you tell us you're six foot four a lot? Lol
So basically when your state shuts your water off, you’re done. Good luck
I love y’all, the rampant misogyny tho, not so much.
How did I get unsubscribed
