    We've added planting charts for all of our picks in these videos so you can translate our suggestions to your unique growing zone! - Kevin
  • @sandrad518
    Fun fact, Nasturtium leaves are a natural antibiotic! Just eat the leaves right off the plant. The flowers are edible too and a great addition to salads
  • @stac1savage
    “I’m partially color blind, it’s hard for me to tell, but that feels like a purple emotionally to me” 🥺 Liked and subbed! ❤🌱
  • @user-rf6og2mm1f
    You can tell that Meg is really getting more comfortable in front of the Youtube audience. I remember when she was first featured on Epic. You guys found a gold mine with her. Keep her on! She fits right in with the two of you and you can tell how knowledgable she is about gardening. I love watching her tips and garden to table content on IG and TikTok and now I love watching her be more educational here. She is just a delight!
  • @alishadonna
    lol “feels like a purple, emotionally” I love your videos guys
  • This year with the major anxiety politics is generating this video are some of the only solace I can get, thank God for gardening!!!!
  • @lauriecroasdale
    Love to hear Kevin say "a fairy-ish vibe" You've come a long way from just edible gardening.
  • @DontDoDaylight
    Thanks for everything. I was thinking while at work last tonight, how impressive your accomplishments are. You took the #1 excuse of “I don’t have enough space to garden” and completely invalidated it through your own action and made gardening into a thriving/successful career of education. Awesome!
  • Your seed catalog is beautiful and filled with so much information on how to grow a garden! I've never seen a catalog like this before - amazing.
  • @Chayannder
    What ? Marigolds smell great !! Also one bonus with nasturtium is that they are edible, leaves, flowers and pickled seeds

    I started ginger at the beginning of last May 1, 2023 in Minnesota (Zone 4) and I ended up with +4 Lbs by the end of September when frost started to threaten in early October. I did not expect it to grow in the first place since I have a north exposure with maybe 3 hours of morning light at best, but it started to bloom at the 5-month mark until deer at the flowers and the shoots. The test was in a large 15" and hanging 11" Pot. This year I will be testing out Grow bags 3#(Pound) and 5# since they do not need depth to grow. Freezing turned the ginger to jelly so the variety I had does not seem to tolerate freezing. The companion Planting you posted was also helpful.
  • @austinlynn966
    I love the planting charts. Very helpful for us who still have a while to go until we have good weather
  • @peggystarling
    Jacque!! Because of your carrot tips, I was able to get my carrots to germinate for the first time ever! 😭 The cardboard trick worked perfectly. Thank you!!
  • @RealBradMiller
    Black beans and rice give me such energy without making me sleepy. I survived an entire year on a mix of dried bulk legumes I bought, a big bag of Himalayan brand white rice, and whatever I could grow in the yard(long story short I turned thirty and my mom decided it was time for me to move in with her again... Empty Nest Syndrome paired with NPD is real, and an abusive parent will do crazy crazy crazy things to get their way)
  • @bzzzzz3
    I really like that you are giving us species that grow well in containers. Thanks
  • @marydauby5229
    I remember planting the potatoes on Good Friday every year when I was a youngster. It was thought to grow best because of the moon being in a certain position. Remember that Lent and Easter are always on a different period on the lunar calendar cycle. We also made our sauerkraut on a certain time of the moon because it was more desirable for fermentation. My Auntie said it kept the kraut a nice color. If you look at the Farmers Almanac when to plant it is based the Lunar Calendar also.

    The love of basil and tomato plants together It's just when he lean over to go pick a tomato and there's basil growing underneath it Oh my goodness It just makes me so happy
  • @JSees
    Love how you are talking about the vibe of your garden and your comment about how this flower emotionally feels like a purple to me.
  • We planted Sarpo Mira's from Wood Prairie Family Farms and had great results. Ordered 1 lb of seed potatoes, which isn't much. We received 12 very small potatoes. Net results, 45+lbs, from 1 lb planted. We've managed to keep about 40 egg sized potatoes we harvested to plant this Spring. Can't wait to get started. Garlic is almost set it and forget it. 162 cloves fit nicely planted in a 4x8' raised bed, planted on a 5" grid. Nice video TYFS All
