She was our original assistant, and has now moved to the Head of Customer Experience role here at Epic Gardening...but more importantly than that, she has a VIBRANT home garden that produces 80% of the produce she uses to feed her family of 5.

      It's a very nice garden but there's no way that she's producing 80% of her food for a family of 5.They'll need 5 times more of what she's producing now and it would still not be enough.

    So awesome to see people getting back to gardening. Its so healthy. This was the family thing to do back in the 70’s and earlier to help stretch the budget. I only wish our parents would have engaged us kids a bit more in the process in my family. Both families had substantial sized gardens that produced a ton of foods. Fresh Produce is so expensive to buy, especially now. This is the way to go and there are so many varieties.

    I clicked, because goals! I have a family of six, and we usually just have a few homegrown things mixed in with store bought produce. But I'm in zone 6b. Our grow season is so short, I would have to grow a TON and preserve it, and I'm just not sure I could do enough. I'm dabbling in indoor gardening, but had so many pest issues with no predator bugs in the house, and it got overwhelming to co-exist with them.

      Same on the law in my town! I’m “illegally” keeping quail and rabbits. I have “unofficial”permission from the council but if I get a complaint I will have to get rid of them. Quail are an amazing option if you can have them, they are frequently forgotten in a lot of law making so it’s a work around. Quiet, don’t take much space.

    I love seeing growers' gardens. Love it. You could grow that passionfruit vine up the hill lol. My parents have a 2 story carport that covers an entry to their property. They grow a passionfruit vine that completely covers that carport lol. They harvest by just waiting for the fruit to fall down. Since the fruit doesn't get sweet until it get really winkly, after they pick off the ground, they will let the fruit sit some more still, so it works very well. But yeah, probably hundreds of fruit a season.

    pretty garden--I'm in a new house in a new climate. A year ago, I lined the fence and house on the sunny sides with dwarf fruit trees espaliered or pruned according to Ann Ralphs' method. I have perennial and self-reseeding flowers, greens, strawberries, potatoes, tomatoes, asparagus, garlic, onions, and herbs under and around all the trees. Although my yard is dinky beyond word, I managed to get in 160 square feet of garden beds this year. I planted a sorta 3 sisters...well, more like 7 sisters with corn, pole lima beans, pole French fillet beans, squash, bee balm, sunflowers, and melons. While these are growing taller, radishes, beets, lettuce, spinach, cilantro, and bok choy will occupy the empty space. I have some stealth mini peaches in the front and pretty stuff like strawberry spinach, strawberries, mini raspberries, herbs, orach, and lots more flowers, so the militant HOA can't scream about it. I just love gardening.

Asking everyone I know for cuttings, lol. My boyfriend just bought me 35 packets of seeds. I've decided I might better grow the marigold and geranium seeds first to help the eventual veggies deal with any pests I'm going to encounter. We have mint, lemongrass, and peppermint. At least my aphids don't seem to bother them at all. Watching videos I'm seeing all sorts of recycled trellises and different ways in which I can do container gardening. I've got the gardening bug coursing through my veins and it's partially y'all's fault 😁 so thank you from the bottom of my heart.

    What an awesome garden! I get so many garden ideas from watching your videos, but I only have a little 6'x6' garden space right now so I can only do so many of them! Can't wait until I can get my hands on some more dirt to grow in!

    This year my husband and I have started a community garden in our back yard. We're exited to see how much produce we'll be able to grow together 😊

    Fantastic garden!! Great idea to tour other's gardens!! Word of warning re: 'overwintering'. I learned the hard way that letting my prolific heirloom tomatoes (Black Krim & Japanese Black Trifle) keep on growing for 3yrs was an 'invitation' for RKN-- root knot nematodes to invade the soil & infest the roots of those plants. RKN also ended up infesting my eggplants & Swiss Chard, green beans, cucumbers.... It's a damned hard battle to win. Once the RKN is in the soil (they're microscopic-- can't see them just by looking at the soil) they'll get into the roots of the plants & make knots on the roots where they eat the nutrients that the plants need to flourish & provide produce. This is my 5th yr of the battle. I've tried applying beneficial nematodes (purchased at Andersen's Nursery Pt. Loma), letting raised beds be without plants for a couple months, planting mustard & tilling it into soil at end of season, and then planting LOTS of French marigolds (Tagetes patula-- which is supposed to deter & repel RKN) along w/ new plants of tomato, cucumber, beans, eggplants... only to have those plants seem to grow happily for about 2 to 2 1/2 months.... and to sadly decline & stop producing & die. I just ordered Crab & Lobster Meal, & also the liquid form (from Nature's Harvest) of that to try in my garden. The crab shells contain chitin, which I believe attracts a bacteria that will attack the RKN... I think that's what it does... pls correct me if I'm wrong on that!! Anyway, I'm desperate to get my raised beds free of RKN so I can again have happy, healthy, prolific plants!

    My neighbor here in Camarillo gave me a big bag of leaves from her purple tree collard. It produces the year round, and it is in the collard greens, broccoli, and kale family. She has 2 large trees, so plenty of veggies to share! The little leaves can be put in a salad raw, and the larger leaves are good cooked and added to soup or noodles. The whole leaf is used, no need to strip it off the middle part, and they are quite tender.

    This is such a great Mother's Day video. It is such another great indication of the love that mums have for their families, that they want to give them the most nutritious food. Happy Mother's Day Kris from Down Under.

    Wow! I didn't realize you could grow so many different types of plants. Thank you for giving me a visual - helps me figure out how to do my own. I have a much smaller place, but I now realize a lot can be done with it!
