  • It has been a weird year in the garden and from the sounds of it everyone seems to be having a similar experience. So come with me as I walk through the garden and show you what has been going well and what hasn't compared to last year.

    3 take aways today. 1) I agree that we did get a later start of sunshine here in San Diego due to our 6 weeks of May gray and June gloom which set things back ie tomatoes 2) Looks like Jacque'sfree style gardening has rubbed off on you and 3) and the one I love best is to refer to a possible failed area as a "test area" when showing your garden off instead of making excuses 😂

    I remember, when I lived in San Diego, of a farmer who specialized in growing gourds. Think his farm was in Escondido…could be wrong. He made cool bird feeders. And also hanging art made of gourds. I bought one for my son’s bedroom that looked like an elephant head. Head, ears and trunk. It was sooooo cool! Hope he or at least his farm is still alive.
    (Now I’m in Vermont…ready to start a flower stand in my front yard)
    I’m going to add a strip of pepper plants next to road. With a sign…you-pick peppers…if you dare! I’ll label hotness nest to each plant. Great idea, right! Kids will enjoy as they have enjoyed free pumpkins!

    Probably too late now, but here in Florida when we have storms instead of using sand bags, I use bags of mulch. Then after the hurricane season is over I empty the mulch into my plant beds.
    I hope you and your plants do well during this hurricane storm you all are having.

    Best potential-disaster tip I’ve read today- fill gallon bags, or quarts if that’s what you have, with water and pack them around your freezer items.
    If the power goes out, your food will stay cold and you will have fresh water .
    If it doesn’t, hopefully, you can use them in your cooler, and still have water to drink !

    The Midwest heat and infrequent rain had my garden looking pretty bad this year. My raised beds were booming though. Going to till up my garden next year. Mostly bc of the tree roots and going to put raised beds on top of them. Then going with an ibc tote converted into a rain catching system and put some irrigation down.

    I also went the "jungle" route this year. 30+ flower types with all the veggies. I compost and get "free" tomatoes, peppers, melons., Clearing out veins I discovered a row of Amish Cantaloupes (from a nearby farm - gigantic produce). We live in one of the rainiest areas in the nation (middle TN) and I've used my expensive irrigation system three whole days! LOL Odd weather - cold winter, cool Spring and Fall (we had the heater on in the pool in June!)
    Love the carefree nature and variety of your garden and all the variety. The size is very impressive. Seasons are so long I have second batch of tomatoes growing.

    Hey Kevin, pumpkin vines will naturally put down roots as long as they're contacting the soil, but it's great that you're helping it along. You can actually bury watermelon vines and they'll put down roots too, and that's to battle against vine borers as they'll attack the main stem but you'll have backups if that ever happens

    You've gotta make salsa verde with the tomatillos! Roast the tomatillos (either with the grill in your oven, or maybe the fancy grill you've got in your yard haha), roast some jalapenos, then blitz it all together with cilantro, lime juice, and salt to taste. It's freaking delicious.

    Your new style is definitely mine--I have had the pleasure of gardening for over 30 years with my friend, Lisa, who lives in Paris and comes to live on my property in VT for about 2 months every summer. She has taught me a "disorderly order" of letting volunteers grow, sometimes moving them a bit, sometimes not, and lots of FLOWERS. The pollinators love my garden, and having the ground covered by plants conserves water. Of course, in July...we got hit by a massive flood in my area of Montpelier, but having really healthy soil in my garden, I think, helped the garden bounce or crawl back.
    The one thing Lisa and I do is keep things pretty weeded, with the exception of any wild edibles such as purslane or lambsquarters. Such joy! Can't believe your leek, amazing! Thank you for showing the beauty of the wild garden.

    I moved two years ago. Didn't really have time to grow much with all the work the house needed. I tried growing out of containers on the back porch and everything fried. Lesson learned. This year I planted in the ground but I found out my soil is heavy clay and I didn't have enough chicken wire to surround the whole thing so rabbits laid waste to everything I transplanted. I did get some blueberries in the ground and although they got munched on, they are coming back strong now that they're protected. Next year is my year!

    Here's an idea: fence off an area with 9 foot fence (probably also requiring foundation), put a door in the fence, like on a house, lay 2ft thick insulation on the inside, and rig up a way you can install and uninstall a glass or polycarbonate ceiling depending on the season.
    Yes I am suggesting an insulated greenhouse. I promise you'll like it, as will your bananas if you get a frost (many bananas will survive frosts but it's better to avoid the risk by insulating, and heating if necessary).

    Big differences for me this year too.
    (1) First (MASSIVE!) success with onions, and more success with potatoes than in the past.
    (2) Sad year for winter squash. This is in contrast to last year, when I harvested 9 "long pie" pumpkins from a single vine (!) and 4 pumpkins averaging about 12# each elsewhere, plus a good batch of wonderful delicata. I LOVE having squash all winter, but no: the fight against cucumber beetles, squash vine borers, and NEVER ENDING squash bugs robbed me this year. I have plans for next year that include giving the back yard a year off from cucurbits entirely -- which pains me, but it is needed!
    (3) The new Birdie bed in my front yard is a bright spot. It is just SO beautiful, overflowing with nasturtiums and chard and purple kale and parsley from the front, bright yellow marigolds filling in the back corners, BURSTING with oversized aji chiles in the middle. (I had bush beans in the back row and have replaced them with okra, still growing.) From my office window I can see pedestrians stopping to admire it. It's my most favorite bed I've ever grown.
    Oh, and like you: my back pathways are overgrown with volunteer sauce tomatoes!

    I'm in southern California, too, and the weather had a negative impact on my veggies this year.

    An idea; build an individual birdie bed around each dragon fruit. Break the terracotta pot off as you fill in with more soil? I believe you can deadhead dahlias and not affect bulb growth. They should flower into October in your climate. Thanks for the updates.

    Thank you for the extra thank you seed packet with my botanical interests order, i love your channel, im not in a great place right now and it was a nice touch along with the wax paper decoration thing. Epic Gardening is officially my go to channel and brand for all things gardening, to me honestly its more than just gardening info and products, you have yourself a whole community and clearly an amazing team of people behind it and im glad i stumbled across it when i did some 6 or so months ago.

    My local nursery owner here in LA told me this is one of the coldest years we've had in California. Should be good for stone fruit and apples.

    Hey, I'm growing Birdhouse Gourds too for the 1st time along with my luffas. I can't wait to see how you cut out the holes in the gourds,, it will help me learn.

    I loved this tour! I would also love to see this sort of thing contrasted with "before" footage to see the difference. Everyone loves a good makeover!

    Good to see the year to year comparisons! My own garden surprises me every year, and not all of them are good surprises 😂 I do learn something from each surprise though! I’m in the Great Lakes area and it has been a year of weird weather here too.

    Have you made a video of one of the dragon fruit flower opening? That would be cool!

    It's been a weird growing season up here in Toronto too! I think the wildfires caused a cooling down for the early season and it seems like we're getting the same for the end of the season :(
    Not as productive a season overall but definitely a good learning year!

    I love how natural the pond is looking! ❤ I let my pumpkins sprawl and they do root themselves, got a lot of pumpkins that way! Love the passionfruit vine for covering that tank, pretty, and the bonus, fruit!! Yum!

    Wow I love seeing this garden with so much diversity.
    Being is Zone 10b means that you have so many sunshine hours and few frost days.
    Which means that you can plant an incredible variety of fruit trees like bananas, mango, cofee jujube, dragonfruit, pineapple, kiwi and so much more!

    Last year, our tomato harvest was pretty poor, because we had such a late frost along with a big cold snap hit us in Apri/May, along with a prolonged spell of high heat. This year, we were actually able to start planting at the end of February/early March and haven't had nearly the amount of high temperatures as the year before and we have harvested 3 cases of diced tomatoes, 15 jars of salsa, and are still picking tomatoes every day off of our plants. I think we figured between 2 - 2.5x9.5 planters we have picked/processed over 100 lbs of tomatoes. The year before we got less than a case of diced tomatoes. Our knowledge of how to fertilize/water/cultivate tomatoes has grown, but the weather being noticeably cooler than last year, as well as having a prolonged spring, has really been interesting. Hopefully next year will be somewhere in between the last two years or perhaps better. Our freezer is stuffed with green beans, peas, corn, tomatoes, onions, and green peppers.

    Thanks for a great tour & sharing successes and failures. Strange to see y’all bracing for a hurricane while we in NC haven’t anything happening but heat & humidity. Love learning from you and Jacques! Keep growing!
