When Kevin and Jacques both walk into the frame already cackling, you know it’s gonna be a great video
Love the intro with Jacques carrying two heavy bags because Kevin has the wheelbarrow commandeered for his... rake.
That kind of would have been funny but there was actually soil in the wheelbarrow 😉
He needs the workout
really like that moment when Jacques stop to say "hey" to people passing by.
great video as always!
Lol that intro. Loving the ever increasing humor while maintaining very informative content!
I want more Kevin and Jacques blog videos. Get out of the garden and go to a zoo or theme park. You guys are so hilarious together I love it 😂💕
Really appreciate that Jacques gave the camera a little nod and smile after greeting the person walking their dog. 🤗
I don't believe he's a snob......
Love the energy between Kevin and Jacques!
Dude, I just love the chemistry between you two.
Oh my gosh, the cheesy humor makes me laugh so much. That intro with the hearty chuckling is so over the top! I love it as much as the gardening knowledge. The bros with ho*s vibe is 😂.
Just wanted to let you know that your garden straw mulch has literally saved my summer garden. I was using leaf mulch before, but it wasn't as effective. My squash plant leaves, which were drooping almost constantly, are now plump and the new growth is quite green and healthy. Same with one of my pepper plants. The mulch (and in some areas of the garden shade cloth) as well as changing my watering schedule) have really helped things a lot.
I love how the editor did not cut stranger passing
I absolutely love the over edited videos, they are hilarious. Keep up the great work up guys.
You two should organize a what do they call it? A harvest party? The one where after a great harvest people call their friends and neighbours over oh a garden party I guess that's what's it's called right? And it's fun to see you both in action.
Love the walk-in intro! Thank you for fulfilling my request!
The hens are getting so grown up and pretty! I want to see epic pumpkin fest 2022 with hordes of Jack O Lanterns and pumpkin 🎃 baked goods.
I’ve been letting my strawberry runners go and tried potting some extras from my neighbour. I’m hoping to have a GreenStalk of strawberries for next year.
My favorite videos are when you two are together! Super hilarious, love the banter!
The grow daddy tote is basically Alaska grow buckets but with totes.
Loved hearing about the chickens. Thank you for sharing
When he calls you pumpkin, then run - it is time for double action 😁
Love the random person walking by. “Hey”. 😆
"It actually scaares me... So subscribe" Love you guys
The X Files music!!!! 💀🤣 nailed it! Love you guys!
You fellas are hilarious AND give such great advice! Supergreen 💚💚💚
Omg 😏 Thank you for that novice gardener lightbulb moment! "If you leave the humidity dome in just a little bit of sun, your seeds are never going to come up."
This spring I planted tray after tray of seeds, complete with humidity domes (cold climate so weather is unpredictable, hot one day snow the next!) and nothing came up. I spent so much time and money replanting different seeds and not understanding why nothing was working. I thought because of our climate the humidity dome was a must and in the heat even better! Oooops!
I love that you’re excited about your eggs! We got our first egg on January 17th, 2019 (I had to scroll back through my phone bc I took a video for my husband-who was deployed at the time-of me excitedly finding it in the nesting box hahaha). Chickens are addicting and chicken math is a real thing lol so be ready for that. One minute you have 6 and the next you have 16-ask me how I know 😅😂🤪🐓
Eggs & strawberries? Ya gotta make some crepes!!
When you guys are mixing the straw In the beginning I seen the curb and I was like man that would look amazing with some wild flowers. I don’t know if you guys can do that but it would be awesome
The ""Farm Daddy" can be made at home. 1 deep tote, 1 length of PVC 2" diameter, soil cloth, rocks. Rocks on bottom, pipe in corner, soil cloth over rocks with hole for pipe, soil above. Water into pipe, not over soil. Same principle, water wicks into soils. They use "wicking beds" in Jordan in the dessert to grow vegetables, small bushes.
I would love more houseplant videos. Mine get a bit of summer neglect with the whole outside garden going on.
Loved this, you guys are a great gardening team!
I love that the guy with the German Shepard was right there and then right across the street and still trying to see what was going on lol.
In Florida, runners always get trimmed due to possible diseases
When cloning, I find it best to trim most of the leaves, leaving only half of each, and cutting the lower branches/shoots completely. Doing so reduces transpiration and overcrowding in the dome to minimize mold potential. We want the plant to focus on root growth.
Cannabis grower who fell in love with gardening and growing anything; it's definitely a gateway drug... Best!
I had to do a double take of the Jacque in the sink
You need a basket for collecting your eggs and veggies 😁. Fun! Fun watching and learning too
keep up the great vids! you guys having something good going on here
Some Commercial farmers plant strawberries on one side of a double row, allowing the runners to spread over the season. Then they till the mature plants on one side of the row, leaving only the runners. Repeat yearly, alternating sides, for new and vigorous plants yearly and zero labor towards planting.
nice!! love ya purple pants!😀
You guys are awesome. You give me hope in my Florida zone 10a‼️ Bugs are out of control this year. I've tried everything and now leaving it to nature for a bit 🍀
Thank you for such great entertainment AND sharing your motivating expertise.
Farm daddy, yes.
When. I have limited space, collect a lot of condensation water and a the had held watering jug is getting old. Same zone as you guys
You literally have my dream garden 😭
I hope one day I can have something like that huge garden where you can grow pretty much everything
Seriously laughing at the crunch sound when Jacques ate the strawberry.
I definitely would like that chain watering system!
8:20 Kevin’s had enough of you Jacques 🤣🤣🤣
Love you guys 😊
Thank you for worm gold plus❤
Finally you get some organic straw mulch. So pumped
Yeah! Just started ripping out a few things this weekend. Next succession going in 🌱💕
I can't🤣😂🤣 the awkward "hey" 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
LOL she decided to go straight through so I had to roll w/ it
Jezz, Kevin it's just a strawberry, my gawd@@ Jacques did the right thing by eating the strawberries...keeps the birds, snails and slugs from getting to them....and he deserves them!!
Recently have explored berry leaf harvesting for teas. The younger leaves are what is looked for. You could harvest leaves while doing this. IDea for future how to use natural remedies for pest control. Rosemary, alliums, cinnamon, on and on. Rosemary for example if it is planted how far away works? Can springs be cut and scattered? Do they need to be cut small? How effective and how are sprays made? There is a world of ideas that could come from a line of content like this.
Hey ya'all,
I want to install drip irrigation in my garden. Thing is, some areas of my garden are long, straight cottage-style, in ground beds while others are unusually shaped, in ground beds interspersed w/ containers. Whenever I look on irrigation sites, I get quite confused trying to figure out what type(s) would be best for which area. Perhaps you could do an irrigation video explaining the different options & which is best suited for what garden type.
Thank ya'all in advance for your help!
If you have not yet pruned the fruit trees, could you give us a follow-up on the fruit tree pruning posted last year on July 5th? It would be helpful to see the effects of last year's pruning, as well as the growth from last year to this one. Pruning trees is a year- long, rather than season-long, process. (This would even be good as an annual update.)
If the trees have already been pruned, even showing the pruned trees and pointing out where you had to thin them would be good.
I was wondering if you could have a video on propagating hydrangeas. I took a few clippings and tried rooting them in a makeshift humidity dome - as I’ve seen done. At this point I’m growing a moldy branch…
I would love to try the Plant Daddy!!!
Added a second round of Cucumber, 🥒, Melon🍉 and some Cosmos+ shasta🌼 daisey. Peppers ate THRIVING, but still no tomatoes🍅🙁
Yes, the tomatoes need to ripen faster!!! I only have a month and a half left frost free 😭 hurry up plants growww faster
Wanna see you make scrambled eggs with tomatoes, ginger and garlic, with strawberry juice and roasted potatoes and corn, all straight from the epic garden 😆
o gosh u guys are so dorky and i LOVE it.
I have had to do the sunflower in random places planting this year too. Turns out my germination rate was significantly higher than I anticipated.
Woow 😱 amazing Good gardening
The maniacal laughing at the beginning makes me giggle every time.
Sub-irrigated planters are clutch
Water Daddy yes 👍 i like its a keeper plz make a vid for our viewing n practical use/pleasure
At least when I worked for IFAS
Love the Jaques Ninja eats? Too funny. Are those cuttings growing in water in that black box?
i love how the guy teases the main character 😂
All I wanna see is Jacques! 👍
He has his own entire YT channel too!
I Love your videos
I have the irrigation system and felt overwhelmed when I opened the box. I'm still hand watering and it's still in the box. I might try to tackle it this fall. 😳
id like to know more about that self irrigating box with the cantaloupe
When you moved to the epic homestead, I’m assuming you moved the raised beds, rather than just buying all new ones. What is the process of moving raised beds like? Do you have a video on how you did that?
I moved my raised beds this year. I disassembled them and the soil held it’s shape on its own. Then I reassembled it in a different spot in my yard, dropped cardboard and then moved the soil into it. It’s a lot of work but doable.
I didn't move houses, but I moved my garden to a different part of the yard. I was shocked how easy it was to pick them up! The dirt can't really stick to it since it's metal, so it's not like trying to get a plant out of a big container or something. They just kind of slid up. If you had to disassemble them, I'm sure it would be a big pain.
I actually had a charity sale where I sold them all off! But they're shockingly easy to move, you can actually shake the frame and pull up with two people, and the soil falls right out. Then you can either disassemble and reassemble, or truck 'em over to the new spot as-is. Easy!
Next Spring, can you test if the addition of a raw chicken egg to the hole of a new tomato plant is as advantageous as the old wives tale says? Thank you and best wishes!
I’m irrigating right now. Water is literally falling out of the sky as I type this. And it is night time so I don’t have to worry about the sun coming back out and temps quickly shooting up 30 degrees once it stops. Yes, if you aren’t fortunate enough to live where ma nature waters for you, drip is absolutely the way to go.
Papi Jacques
Is he in the table? LOL 😂
We definitely need to see you make an omelet. Lol😊🥚
Is Jacques standing in the hole beside the sink?
What is the green ring that is used for the seedlings?
I love watching your videos! I live in Zone 10a SW Florida. Someone gifted me a seed starter tray (80 cells) with grow lights for my 3rd grade classroom. Last year we propagated succulents. I want to start the very first week of school having them plant something! :) Is there anything you recommend that would be simple for them to grow, use, and hopefully motivate them to want to continue gardening? Flowers or edible or both :)
I don't know how much space and time you have, but you could plant the tray representative of a healthy symbiotic garden with flowers that are easy to grow like Zinnias and Sunflowers that will attract pollinators and birds; easy to grow summer squash like zucchinis and yellow squash; easy to grow cucumbers; and easy to grow jack-be-little pumpkins. If you throw in a few varieties of Mammoth or Skyscraper Sunflowers then the vining crops can grow up the tall stalks and then when the heads are spent you can cut them off and line them up for birds to enjoy. If you start early enough you could even plant a second summer harvest or have the children take home their "seeds" to plant at home as a second summer harvest - for instance bush beans. Going a bit further you could plant some crops that germinate well in cold weather and are direct sown like fava beans immediately after winter break, showing the difference a few weeks later between direct sown and transplanting - just be careful with the sensitive tap roots. By the way, thank you for being an elementary teacher, now that's a difficult job!!
What is the structure you have the seedlings on? It looks like a table with a mesh/wire top and fabric shades. Is it a DIY thing? I’m curious!
You 2 are great. Very entertaining and educational at the same time.
There’s always money in the strawberry stand.
GREAT ref
I'd love if you guys could help me figure out how to dry out a sunflower head so that it still looks nice. Trying to put something together in remembrance of someone and having the hardest time getting the petals to dry and not just shrivel into nothing.
Buy silica granules and bury the head
I moved our strawberry plants a couple weeks back as they were too crowded in their containers. The plants are beautiful now but no fruit? These were crowns but I don’t remember the variety. Is there something I can do for more fruit?
What irrigation system is that
Love the first bed overhaul 🤗 what does Kevin have in the wheelbarrow that he is shoveling into the bed? I was thinking compost but the texture looks too fine. Some of my beds needed a change over and I want to try Kevin & Jacques’ method.
Some extra raised bed potting mix we had!
Thanks! I didn’t want to miss out on an awesome amendment!
Has anyone gotten the free mushroom compost from the mushroom farm in north county?
💜💜
Do you have a video on rainwater collection? Or a suggested product?
I do - check our rainwater tank install vid!
Not the X-Files!
With the farm daddy, can you explain it more in depth? Like do its own video?
For sure
Need the Farm Daddy! Guys, you really expect us to believe that shipping is free? Included in price is more likely. You can pick up a large cube of chopped garden straw at farm stores for $12.00, at least here in MN, been using it for years in my raised beds.
You're right! Shipping is expensive for lightweight, large-dimension items that are shipped across the country. Jacques has used nursery straw before - it's not the same quality. But much cheaper, which makes it a great option as well :)
Would like to know what variety of strawberries you are growing.
Seascape
Sorry Kevin but I gotta ask...with your budget spending what you feel is necessary...why dont you use machinery? I know cost of living is rediculous....but if you spending your budget on what you doin. Why not get you a compact tractor like the bx23s something with a backhoe a front loader and a way that you can till 6 foot if you get something worth it. Renting verse buying definitely a game changer if you have equipment.
Was that a Carl Weathers/Arrested Development reference around 9:57?
You know it
Are the 4 and 6 cells possible to get shipped to Australia, I can't find anything similar
Not yet - I hope so though
👨🏽🌾🙏🏽
Do dragonfruit taste good? The ones I’ve gotten in the store taste like nothing but surely they must be good if you’re spending space on them? I’m curious why you don’t just plant more beans? We still have time in warm zones right?
They're WAY better fresh
@@epichomesteading cool thanks!
