Thanks for all the excellent content, guys! As usual, we’re thrilled to see “Kevin-y” and “Jacques-y!” - much love, your 4 year old super fan, and her mom
Say hi for us!
@@epichomesteading well that made her day :)
Ahhhh me too!😍 So cute that you guys have little fans!
OMG! You guys have such a growmance going on, it's adorable! Thanks for sharing all your abundance in this tour. Truly fantastic.
Growmance..!
Precisely 🌱🪱🌱
I lurk on your channels, but your banana tree strategy made me smile. My dad passed away 3 years ago, and he was the family's green thumb. We're from the Virgin Islands. He had his banana trees planted in a circle with a small pit in the center. The pit would collect water, and as children, we were trained to toss all our organic matter "down in the banana trees." Lol. So from a young age, I'd eat, traipse outside, toss fruit skins, egg shells, etc., into the banana tree pit. Every once in a while, I'd see my dad tossing around the dirt in the pit ... and now, as an adult, I realize it was his compost area!!!! So ... everything you're saying is spot on, at least in the Virgin Islands. We always had the most massive, sweetest bunches of fig bananas to the point that we'd have to give them away. Thanks for bringing up that amazing memory. Good luck on your banana journey!!
Jacques tyding up as he walks along❤
I literally GIGGLED out REALLY loud and nearly choked on coffee when J said “I think that one’s even worse”. Referring to the purple “clown flower” dahlia. Though I could see where the red one might be annoying, the purple one brought me joy. ;-) Fun how we’re all so different. And gotta respect one another, right?!
You guys are delightfully silly and entertaining and definitely motivating for me to keep on growing.
OH dear me too!!! Epic and hilarious!
So funny! I’m with Jacques on the red ones though, I am not a fan of the red and white combination… except maybe at Christmas time ;) but I didn’t think the purple was as bad.
I love these tours. These and the seed starting videos are top tier.
Really was hoping to see your citrus hedge!!! One of my favorite features along with the pond and water tank cover.
So much beauty here Eric!
Jacques is freaking crazy, those are some of the best looking dahlia types
The homestead looks fantastic this year! To be honest, I’ve got a bad case of garden fatigue. My garden isn’t growing as well as expected, and sometimes it’s hard to see the successes among the mistakes. But seeing your gardens get better and better each year reminds me that gardening is a learning process and one day my skills will match my expectations. Thanks guys! 🌱
These videos are so much fun; love watching the trial and error in real time as you learn and discover what works best in your garden. Really looking forward to seeing where your garden will be in 10,15, 20, and 25 years. What is so amazing is that it will all be documented on video. You are carefully creating a garden that could last for centuries!
Coffee and vanilla bean orchid?? Garden is truly looking better than ever guys- can’t wait to see what’s next out of the greenhouse!!
these are my comfort videos. some people rewatch friends, i rewatch epic homesteading
I grow all my melons and squash on cattle panels just like this. The plants end up providing a little shade for items underneath. I love getting the vines off the ground.
I grew up with banana plants in our garden, right outside of our kitchen. My dad regularly tossed things like fish guts and water used to blanching meat or chicken onto the banana plants. We never used any additional fertilizer, just organic wastes from the kitchen, and we always got loads of really good bananas.
Those volunteer sunflowers are so admirable! How does the lower leaves don't have powdery mildew on them?? Also i kinda agree with Jacque and those spotted dahlias feel "clownish" to me too!
For the bananas, what I have always seen is people put all the old banana stems and leaves all over the banana plants. They just pile up the discarded leaves and stems to feed the new stems, leaves, and fruit.
Garden looks great Kevin. It's insane how far the homestead has come! Only thing missing is a nice native patch 😉
The Dalias are beautiful. Such a nice pop of color.
You guys are an awesome gardening duo learning sooo much and sharing with us through the years; you keep it real, make us laugh and are always striving to become bigger and better each year. Yay for an awesome garden year of abundance, colors and extravagance .
I am yet to meet a flower that didn’t put a smile on my face. That dahlia is magnificent.
OMG, DYING...don't EVER stop making videos, I LOVE you guys!!!!!
Long time Epic Gardening viewer - homestead looks great and love that you share all your lessons learned. Keep it up!!
Thank you! Will do!
The dahlia isn't clownish, it's just plain ugly🫣. However, the rest of the garden looks great!
Heck no! In fact, white and pink flowers of any kind are my favorite.
FYI the banana core of the tree can be made in soup when you go to trimming.
When I was growing up my grandma had a bunch of dinner plate dahlias. I've never seen such big dahlias any where else, she would dig them up every year and store them in a box, she would divide them to get more. she got too old and stop digging them up and the wet and freeze got to them over the years, my favorite was one that was purple white and pink that would almost get 9 10 inches in diameter Jaques would of had a love hate relationship.
Start deadheading those dahlias. Love the red whites. Awwwwwww.
OOOOhhhh Epic homesteading book! Yeah baby!!! Love the dahlia's by the way, all of them. Gorgeous!!
I'm with Jacques when it comes to the "clown" dahlias. To me they look like a flower designed by committee. Almost like, "we've done every cross breed we can think of now lets just bet the farm on something silly looking", it just looks like something that just shouldn't have been done, like cloning a t-rex, it may sound interesting, but the end result is frightening. I'm a classic dahlia guy and prefer single flowered, pompoms and dinner plate styles. Dahlias along with cosmos, calendulas, asters, ranunculus, echinacea's and zinnias are my go to flowers to give my vegetable garden some color and interest. Thanks for another great garden tour!
I can’t take this flower hate 😂😂Garden hermit is giving garden clown. Love how the garden has come together
In my yard / garden all flowers are good flowers
Eggplant is my best success this year. I've gotten about 15 thus far and have about the same amount hanging on 3 plants
Loved the tour!
Ignore Jacques - dahlias are grown because they're visually striking, and those certainly are - if they're also whimsical or even amusing that's fine.
Here we say "don't plant bananas, they'll take over the area" - there you add compost and fertilizer lol.
One hint: axes and saws etc are useless to difficult with bananas.
Use a cheap/old serrated knife.
I did landscape design and maintenance for a while and a dollar store or flea market one, doesn't even have to be that sharp, cuts through them like they were made of soft cheese.
Hint #2 in advance for when it's time to take down full sized trees: start jear the top and work your way down one section at a time - banana trees are mostly water and water is heavy. If you start by cutting down near the bottom it's that much harder when you have to then cut into pieces light enough to move.
I grew loofahs on my cattle panel last year. It took it over. This year I have pie pumpkins on it. Also I have green beans that vine one one and some sweet dumpling squash on another. I love those panels so much I’m getting 3 more so I can trellis more stuff. I also got one and cut it into 4’ sections for cucumbers, peas and tomatoes
I love sunflowers 🌻 🌻🌻
Thank you for making it your theme this year❤
Regarding the banana pups - I saw this on Weedy Garden channel (Australia), he cuts the pup and carves the flat top into a 'bawl', puts water and refills regularly, thus the new shoots stop growing, this is a non-toxic way to kill them, they just rot and die. Also, Weedy Garden is very insiring, quite different from all other gardening channels, check him out. Cheers from Bulgaria : ))
can you folks make a video about lesser know ways to get plants from your fellow gardeners? Tomato cuttings, basil, and things like potatoes are well covered, but what are some other less common plants you can divide or propagate from your neighbors' garden?
Looks great. We in Texas are burning up and keeping tomatoes and pepper alive with mulching, drip irrigation or hand watering ---- all else is composted and soil is in cover crops for fall gardening which is much more successful here. Even the famers at the farmers market are losing items earlier than usual. We are now into 60 and moving to 70s of days between 100 to 105 degree days. Have to choose our battles. Joy Giles
Oui Jacques le dahlia is clownish! A great garden and a lot of fun going on there! 😊😂
Nice to see you growing sunflowers in your garden since I keep seeing that sunflowers are allelopathic.
Thank you for sharing your home garden with us. It really is an encouragement ❤🌱
Offer still stands that any time I am in san diego I will clean the epic pond (professionally) for free. Love you guys thanks for the good content and information
Jacques is my spirit animal 🦔 but I don’t think the flowers look clownish.
Non-clown varieties😂. Way to go with the flowers! Beautiful!
Guys. IDC how bad my day is, when I see one or both of u have uploaded a video it makes me smile. ❤
Congrats on ur new book. I will be ordering if my other half didn't order alrdy lol
I'm so jealous over your dahlia's, mine are just now on the verge of blooming! I can't wait and no they don't look like a clown lol beautiful.
I agree with Jacques...I love dahlias, but that red and white one is not for me either! The garden looks great!
The red and white dahlias are gorgeous!!!
OOH!!! @Jacques, Kevin needs to make baba ganoush!! Maybe a little ratatouille action, too?
Wow. Over here in the Caribbean, bananas, plantain, figs and buffets grow so easily while those 2 bananas plants have been struggling lol. Just sheep manure and compost if so much is needed. Sometimes here you just have to dig a hole, put in the sucker and cover the hole back then boom..... bananas then boom .....monkeys raiding bananas
I’d love to see a compilation of the drone above shots! As always, a great video with info, jokes, and support.
Love all that you all do -- including the hating on the "clownish" dahlias.... Keep on growin!🌱🌼🌴
I love the homesteading videos. I've been following along since the start and love the progress and changes your garden has undergone.
Keep up the great content!
It’s beautiful I love Dolly as my grandfather used to grow dahlias!
I think Jacques is just afraid of clowns.
I love the Dahlias! The color combo is so striking!
I’m so glad you mentioned short corn because I’ve tried 2 varieties of corn so far this season and both have been short!
Looks good! Here in Sweden it´s been sooo cold...Everything is behind and is growing poorly. Hoping we will get a warm fall!!
I live in Napa CA zone 9b. my corn is over 8 feet tall. Not sure how or why but I'm enjoying its magnificence.
Jacques is off his rocker.
Love you 2 together!
steamed torch ginger flower or kantan flower or kecombrang flower
Laughed out loud at 18:50, Jacques beheaded that flower lol
My asparagus has gone crazy this year. It's so delicious. I love the dahlias. Mine didn't do well..? Your yard is wonderful, thanks for the tour.
I can not wait for that book! Finally!
My corn is a little short this year as well. California ❤
I totally again with the weather being crazy this year. I live in NC zone 7b and I'm just harvesting tomatoes this week for the first time. and they are very small. last year this time I was canning by now.
Really enjoy you two! Looks like you are having so much fun!!😊
Yessss. My corn is shorter….I thought it was cause I got a later start .😆 the weather has been so strange this year. Your garden is beautiful.
Your garden looks fantastic and so does Jacques! I love books and I just ordered yours! Can't wait to get my copy! I've learned so much from the both of you and have really upped my gardening game. Thank you!
Appreciate you!!!
Best garden tour ever! Love your dahlia patch. They are stunningly beautiful. I'm growing 4 dahlias that I got from San Diego Seed Company for the first time. 2 of them have already flowered and I am amazed by the intricate and nuanced beauty. They look like someone painstakingly painted the petals. I was surprised by how prolific the blooms are. Thanks for sharing the progress of all your hardwork developing your garden. It is an incredible space!
Black soldier flies are loaded with protein and are readily supplied as cattle feedstock
The dahlia is beautiful and Jacque is crazy 😂
The dahlias do not look like clown flowers. The purple and white dahlia is gorgeous. Do you happen to remember the name of it? Also, great job on the whole homestead
Not clownish at all! Love them ❤
Here in iowa it is not nearly as hot as normal and it's been more rainy. Also your garden is 👌
I looove currant tomatoes. They are the best in a pocket sandwich.
Your dragon fruit plants are amazing. I watched you when you were growing them on your porch. Then staying up late to pollinate. I am now watching every thing on DF. I now have 6 pots only 4 that are in their forever home . I have cuttings from a neighbor I am keeping in the green house until they will have roots and moved to their forever home.
What a beautiful garden.
My glass gem corn is short. About 6’ with the tassels. It’s the first year squirrels haven’t destroyed the corn so I’ll take it.
Garden looking awesome. Battling Japanese beetles on my raspberries right now.
Those dahlias are gorgeous!😍
That was so fun, as is typical with you two! The garden looks fantastic, so amazing how it's developed in all the various ways! I am with Jacques, though, on the clown dahlias. Not a fan. Like, at all. lol Nonetheless.., they look really healthy and, if you're into them, hey, enjoy! I pre-ordered your book last month, Kevin, and look forward to its winter arrival! Congrats on finishing it! Thank you both for all the entertainment, assistance and inspiration!
Those dalias are gorgeous!!!
Simply amazing transformation, and very wise advice. I love learning right along with you
I like that Jacques just casually knocks off one of the flower heads at the end of the video.😅😅😅
This year, I have already harvested more Socrates and Marketmore cucumbers by July 18th, than I have any other whole 120 day season! It is incredible! I love those Dahliah!! I have 12 Leeks growing! New to me, this year! Recipe sounds delicious! So many new plants this year...Glass gem Corn, Cucamelons, Kuri squash, Yellow Doll melons, cayenne peppers, Dahlias (fuscia in colour), Green Arrow peas, Echinacea (purple coneflower and Cheyenne Spirit), Sorrel, Yarrow, Mugwort, Wormwood, Nemophila, Hollyhocks, and alot of Chamomile! First time for each one!!
Contracts on finishing the book! WooHoo - can't wait to read it!!
I’m late to the party, but I’m with Jacques; those are clown flowers. 😂 I grow a lot of dahlias, and I really hate the bicolor ones. To each their own, though. And Kevin, the single dahlias are pollinator magnets!
Very cool. Our summer sucked and my garden never been so unproductive
Kevin the Houseplant Daddy is coming back!
🙌🏿🌱
My tomatoes are like 2meters high ( I’m from Germany)
My corn was supposed-to be 5' tall , but it is 6 @ 1/2 ' tall. We will enjoy our first big ears tonight, exciting times in the garden.
Awesome tour and you two are great together! I so envy your garden. We have a large, full sun front yard but the City has a bylaw which stipulates that gardens can only be in the back yard. I would much prefer to grow something I can eat that grass. What a waste.
Agree with Kevin I don’t like the plain dahlias. . The whole point of for them is to be filled out ❤
You've created a beautiful oasis with your gardening skills! 🌿🌟
I love the dalia with white tips
Congratulations on the book!!!! 🎉
Lol. Most replayed moment, Jacques knocking the head off that Dahlia.
I'm so jealous of you dahlia patch!!!! This is my first year growing them and they are doing...ok...even though they are a heat loving plant I think here in the desert it's way too hot for them. But I don't know. I planted both tubers and seeds and the seed plants are doing way way better than the tuber plants. It a good experience for me growing them. I know a lot of people love sunflowers and is like one of the most famous flower but to me dahlias are my sunflower. And I definitely don't think of those dahlias as clowns lol Jaques must be very traumatized by clowns lol
So excited for the book, will be counting down!!
The dahlias are stunning!
I’m in zone 8b (South Georgia) it’s been mild temperatures but crazy amounts of rain. I tried potatoes and only 25% survived. All the garlic died too. I’m still trying and the season here is long!
