I am hold up by the heat here in my country. Though, I was held up by the rain yesterday afternoon, which was very unusual because it typically doesn't rain during Holy Week. Take care and God bless, dear!
snorlaxjen well it’s normal everywhere else in the US, but not in certain areas. Such as the most southwestern-ly city in America - San Diego. I’m worried bout the foundations of certain buildings to be honest.
Lettuce is very attractive. When you get all those colors in a bowl....omg, I just can't even! Also, I needed this video. Since I live in a high rain zone I'll be using these tips for sure. Thank you!
Thank you, Mr. Epic. My garden is north of yours in the SF bay area. I was agonizing over our lovely rain. I wondered if I needed to stand guard over my garden with an umbrella. Thank you for your wisdom. I particularly appreciated your comments about nutrients being washed away. Your fence looks nice painted white.
Thanks for listing the 5 tips in the description. It makes me want to watch the entire video knowing what to expect. Other channels seem to leave it a mystery to get more clicks.
This is super useful! I live in Japan and we have some heavy rains in summer... we just move in a new apartment (3rd floor) which has 2 « balcony »! I’m so happy! One is a real balcony, it has almost too much sun, but the other one is actually just a covered outside area so it’s a bit shady and covered from the rain!
I really love how simple, genuine and to the point your videos are. I certainly struggle in mine though I'm a newbie. That said, I REALLY admire your garden and how it's positioned like an artistic installation in the city. Gardening is an art and you're surely a very talented and blessed artist. Thank you for sharing your skills.
I'm back here again, in PA we have gotten dumped on for over a week. I always revert back to your videos with literally any and all issues, questions or advice i need. Best garden channel avail imo.
I live in Yucaipa, CA, Zone 9. I shouldn't complain but I'm so tired of all of the constant rain this year~ especially right now. Love your channel, I have learned so much💚
Thank you so much for this info. I have put off a lot of gardening for the last few years now because I’m in east TN (zone 7a or 7b), with all the clay and rock soil, and we get too much rain a lot more often than southern Cali. The rain has caused me nonstop issues, like rot and mold or fungus growth on some of my plants. For the longest time I tried looking up solutions for that, and have not been able to find good sources of info that have been helpful to me yet. So, thank you for putting this out.
It's Also Raining here in our place here in the Philippines 🇵🇭... Even though its SUMMERTIME... LOVE THIS INFO... It's Really VERY VERY USEFUL. 😍.. I LOVE HOW YOU TALK....
My containers always have lots of drainage holes. Except for hanging planters, which are wire with coco liners and therefore drainage champs. I try to use terra cotta as much as I can, but it gets expensive and heavy. Containers with plants that don’t like too much moisture get pot feet. I have all this to make up for being a bit heavy handed with the watering and hope it is helping now with all this crazy rain! Great video, will have to inspect and fertilize soon.
My 1st try with veg plants in containers in 8a NC. Forecast this week, about every day showers/T-storms!! Yesterday, it was suppose to rain 1pm, I put off watering in am since dirt was moist. It did not rain hard/rather little. This morning my plants were DRY. Freak time! Watered yet T-storm due later. My worry was about root rot during these times being a novice. Plants are under the overhang of roof. HOT days here. Have 9 plants LOL. Toms, cus, squash/zuc, basil healthy w/fruit appearing. Healthy thus far. Each fruit showing are my babies LOL. I guess if I'm worried at some point I'll put granulated organic fert, OR would 5.1.1. fish fert, or?? Best NPK would be helpful. ENJOYED your great video. btw: I'm from rural SanDiegoCo orig. TY
Such a timely video, as I look out at my rainy garden like this 🤷🏽♀️. Thanks for the tip on top dressing. It's been 2 weeks since I've fertilized, and I was planning on doing it yesterday. But I usually fertilize w/ a liquid mixture of micronutrients and fish emulsion. I don't typically think of the granular stuff outside of planting and a midsummer boost. But I think I'll definitely be doing that today 👍🏽.
Dealing with same crazy rain up here in Joshua Tree! Luckily soil is basically sand but still felt the need to re-turn my compost piles after getting soaked!
I just started watching your channel as a fellow gardener, and had no idea you were in San Diego. Hello from Lemon Grove! Love your content--thanks so much for all your hard work!
I dont know if you bought the pots from the store or you personally made them but I just love them....I'm going to make my lettuce pot exactly like yours ...tha k God I found your video👍
As I'm watching this it's an absolute downpour outside tonight. Tomorrow is transplanting seedlings day. Going to use grow bags for the first time. This video is just supporting this decision. 😀
Yes, you are right Kevin, here in TX we can get the rain you got in one week in one day 😂 Love the rain but dislike the mud. Thanks for sharring 👍 Keep up the good work God bless you
I wish I would've watched this 4 days ago when TS Cristobal dumped four days of heavy rain on western FL. I thought my poor veggies would drown. I lost a whole harvest of basil to mildew. Now that the TS has passed, now we have our typical summer rains.
@@epicgardening First time gardening and saw a video where you talked about them. Moving in a month so it seemed like a good cheap way to try some quick grows!
Only discovered your channel last week. Such great content that I ordered your book (arrived yesterday). My daughter and I are really enjoying reading it 👍
I wish we were getting rain. In the Caribbean we are in the dry season now. Its been very dry and hot now for about two weeks with no real prospects of significant rainfall right now. Have to hand water. Drought may be possible. I hope you harvest your rain water. We'd be up a creek if we didn't. Stay safe and healthy.
As you transition more to pollinator friendly plants, I also suggest for you to take a look in native CA plants too! A lot of the nurseries in SD carry really good selections.
Thank you for such an informative video! I live in CA too and I had watered my plants and then it rained for 4 days straight after. My broccoli leaves started turning yellow and some died! Thanks for sharing!
Up here in AK we have had rain for at least a week straight. It's "paused" for a few hours here and there but then it resumes with a vengeance. I placed two plastic egg crate things over my tatsoi growbox. Lets a bit of light in and has stopped my soil from getting besotted
Thanks for the tips! What are your thoughts on transplanting in the rain? I have some tomatoes that really need to get in the ground, but I worry the rainy and cooler weather will shock them too much.
Same here! Too much rain this past week, and I have peppers, tomato’s, other veggies and flowers to go out. How was transplanting? Did the plants do well? Thank you!
Here in Florida the soil is sandy so we don't have to worry about drainage but too much rain can really dull the flavors of crops like tomatoes and watermelons and make fruit more prone to splitting.
Thanks for this! I am in San Diego, too, and almost drown last night and today--5+ inches where I am. I was planning on putting out some lemongrass last week. Glad I waited! I've had a problem with skunks, too,this year!
Poor tomato plant @ 4:20 is not doing well. Looks like mine do, we get sooooooooo much rain this time of year then by next month it's smoking hot and you have to water 3 or 4 times a day... Love your vids bro keep it up 👊
I'm in the high desert here in CA, and oh my gosh we've gotten a years worth of rain this week. My plants seem to be doing okay, but I will be taking a closer look tomorrow. I actually went out in the rain & picked some lettuce.
I need help determining my my growing zone 😩. I live in Canada, Central Saskatchewan. I’ve found different conflicting info. Your lettuce is attractive 😋🥬
I'm in San Diego and part of my yard was under water. I had to move some pot that were in standing water. Well, at least we don't need to water for a while.
It’s been raining quite a bit here. However, I am my own worst enemy. I over water! Trying to rewrite my previous mistakes of not watering! So, Thank You for this video. I need to learn how to undo my own mistakes😰
I've paid for a community plot of garden this year and just found that they gave me one of the 2 plots that flood. I planted bush bean seeds last week, but now after tons of rains, I'm afraid they're ruined before they ever get started. Haven't planted tomatoes and peppers yet thank God! What can I do to fix the ground so this doesn't happen again?
Thanks for mentioning nitrogen and nutrients being washed out of the soil. I'm going to use a tarp this year to protect my all my plants in containers during rainy days.
Man I love your show. I’m a truck driver and hour podcasts get me through long drives. I just wish the podcasts were longer lol. I see you got a Subpod too man and that’s awesome. I had to buy two and another for my mom. Anyway, I’ve never heard this mentioned but I figured I would ask you before the other podcasters I listen to. I recently discovered the importance of pH in water. And I noticed my rain water is nowhere near the 6.5 mark. So if I add an acid (General hydroponics pH Down), do you think I am doing any harm to my garden, which in turns sends it to me? Thanks man.
I got Buddleja davidii more than 10 i grow it like a fence for the butterfly's and bees. Good to atract polinators zone 8. Herbs are good for polinators to👍
Should try live in tropical country like Malaysia. Almost everyday got heavy rain till sometimes, can be flooding. Really challenging to manage it. Any additional tips?
Rain is ok as long as the plants still get the warm (sunlight). Getting the fruits (tomatoes, chillies, eggplants , etc) , however can be really challenging. Nutrition in later case doesn't matter.
I live in Washington state and I was just telling a story about how I cried today standing on a dry spot that’s been a deep puddle and a daily nuisance for the past five months. The experience of seeing it dry up after a few days of no rain and how odd it’d be to live somewhere where you can just casually keep things outside and grass is dry and shoes are clean.
Epic Gardening Haha, a bit. But it’s the price you pay for being constantly surrounded by Tolkien level fantasy land greenery. Totally worth it. Tall moss covered trees and ferns and acres of greenery with mountains in the distance. Wouldn’t have it any other way. ❤️ That’s what I tell myself when I’m slipping through the mud anyways 😂
It’s been raining nonstop for a week. My pepper plants have been the worst affected. The leaves have been turning black as if they’ve been burned. Like half the leaves have fallen. Even worse today I noticed some stems full of peppers broke and the top of my zucchini plant broke off. Edit: Also, it’s not your average rain that you demonstrated. It’s the one that comes down pretty hard. I think that might be hurting the leaves but I have no idea what to do.
We've been having the same here almost 2 weeks of rain. My citrus trees are not doing well. All my other plants are all looking terrible. I think it might be too late to save them. Do I start over or just let it go? 😥😢😞 Love to all from a sad gardener in South Florida ❤️🙏
What about tomatoes in containers? Will it drown them out with heavy rainfall? How long after rainfall would you feed? I've got liquid seaweed , thinking to wait till soil dries out a bit?
Bruh. I just stood at my back door anxiously watching my garden as it got thrashed by rain and wind. Thank goodness I'm a hover gardener so I reapplied fertilizer to the surface. Appreciate the tips!!
If you're holed up in the rain and want to go from noob to epic urban gardener, check out my book: bit.ly/epicgardeningbook

Thank you for the help!! I’ll have to check out your book. This is my first year and we’re getting a TON of rain here in NC!
You need a shirt that says, "Stop staring at my lettuce. My eyes are up here"
Your lettuce do look beautiful, so I can see why you'd be attracted to them. Hell, I was staring at them the whole time. LOL
I'm glad someone understands LOL
Lollllll
@@epicgardening I especially like your red lettuce - very attractive indeed! 😘 Mel from Australia
Saaaaammmeeee lolol
Watching as a British person - rain is normal and I never thought about “too much” 😂 🇬🇧
snorlaxjen well it’s normal everywhere else in the US, but not in certain areas. Such as the most southwestern-ly city in America - San Diego. I’m worried bout the foundations of certain buildings to be honest.
Watching from the Seattle area, I was thinking the same thing.
I live where's there's a constant amount of rain and some plants start getting pale. You have to add nutrients.
Is it always pouring rain that causes floods or just a calm constant rain?
Lettuce is very attractive. When you get all those colors in a bowl....omg, I just can't even!
Also, I needed this video. Since I live in a high rain zone I'll be using these tips for sure.
Thank you!
You n' me both...

Thank you for your wisdom. I particularly appreciated your comments about nutrients being washed away. Your fence looks nice painted white.
