I hope you enjoyed this updated tour! This will act as the starting point as a clean slate from which I can start showing the evolution of the garden. If there is anything you saw or anything I mentioned you would like to see a full video on drop a comment here and thanks for watching!
I’d love some longer videos that show the process of start to finish for a particular edible and also some videos on starting seeds for the next season/scheduling process
Hey Jaques! Don't get your beds too organized love the way they look very organic and intuitive very different from Kevin's. You should do a video on mushrooms!
I found that when I used straw for mulch I had not put it on deeply enough. I grew some beautiful grass but after adding an addition 5" over the whole Main Garden and it kept everyone cool enough to grow and thrive in the midst of repeated heat waves. It got over 118°F here last June and July. Right now we have 3 feet of snow. You videos soothe my soul!!
hey Jacques! I would love to hear more about your origins story: it seems like this 18-month garden isn't your first? because you have so much knowledge! I'd love to hear more about when & how you got started with gardening :)
Love this garden style. I saw a vid where, for a special chicken treat, they put a small log in the chicken run. Then they roll the log over once a week and the chooks have a ball going after all the bugs.
Woo! Lucky 100! Jaques, thank you for the update about your garden! I love hearing how people try, try, and try again! "I don't actually know everything that's in here right now," and "this is where it gets a little jungly" 😅 both speak to me!
Your garden looks great! The purple corn was really pretty even dried and spooky like that, and Chirp and friends were adorable! Look forward to seeing more!
I saw the tour of your garden on Kevin’s channel. I’ve been following him for a long time. Just stumbled on your channel and am excited to be subscribed.
Thank you for sharing your garden with us! Just felt so calming watching you walk through it, sharing your thoughts. I look forward to seeing how you designed the parts of it with what you had available. Your chickens are beautiful, let us know what varieties they are, and how you care for them.
*_SMART GARDENING STYLE, WOOOOOWW!!!!, JACQUES IN THE GARDEN, You are teaching me to be patient with plants,we will not get tired of watching this video, please don't stop gardening, continue like this, GO GO GO GOOOOOOOOOO!!!_*
I love your garden with all those DIY structures, learning experiments, variety, textures... I appreciate the little nuggets of information you share on your IG and I will also enjoy following your progress here. Thank you!
Jacques-you are a really good tour guide! You and Kevin are a good team too. I enjoyed this tour. I have moles/voles in the Midwest. I have had to resorting almost entirely in containers, especially if it is a root vegetable. I gave up fighting those moles/voles.
So cool to see the garden! What really touched me is the grape that will slowly grow as a fence cause it reminds me of my grandparents! Its big,bushy and endless and I cant wait for you to enjoy your grape fence!
Jacque my man! Loved how many different varieties you have planted throughout your yard. There's nothing more pleasurable than sitting outside in a space that is so filled with life of all kinds. Thanks particularly for sharing your strawflowers 🌺🌻🌼 I am definitely adding those to my pollinator garden. Great start - really looking forward to learning your gardening secrets!
Interesting, I subscribed ! Knowledge of cultivars is a key factor. When you find something you like. Save the seeds, as years go, the crop can become regionalized ! Companion planting could be another topic in your garden astrological gardening, as well ? Last, I leave you with, Slugs don't like to crawl over thorny stems on the ground when layed as a perimeter of something they like to munch on ? Your doing great and keep that cameraman! You and him did a great job presentation wise. Also, honesty is everything in a garden sometimes ya win sometimes you loose. It's all about discovery and learning. Videos are a great way to journalize where you've been and where your going. Like you mentioned, never become discouraged just try again ! Love the idea of using the harvest with recipes. Also, crafting comes into play. Strawflowers dry nicely so do some herbs. Have you ever tried making a basting brush from herbs to use on your turkey at thanksgiving? There is just tons of things to get into as a gardener. It's a lifestyle ! I am looking forward to following your adventure.
I love using whole bunches of herbs for different tasks, its a lot easier when you can go cut a bunch of herbs for free that would cost you 10++ dollars at the grocery store instead!
Hey Jacques! Pumped to see what lies ahead! I’m really interested in the different types of trellises you’ve got going on. Turns out I did a Parisian trellis this year and didn’t even know it lol. Looking forward to hearing from you again!
Thanks for sharing your garden Jaques. Appreciate your transparency re: successes and failures. I'm a fan! I'd love to see more close-ups of plants and panning of the area you're showing us. Keep 'em coming!
It’s getting cold now and I’m thinking about this year being my first year of gardening. I can’t wait to take some of your tips and some of Kevin’s. It’s nice to have the both of y’all cause you both are amazing at gardening but do it in 2 different ways which is helpful for a beginner. I can’t wait til next spring 🤗
Great video! Thanks for the garden tour. What is the size of your property? For SoCal, your residential property is HUGE! Also, flea beetles?!?! Yuck. Future video on combating them?
I was honestly surprised I flea beetles! I know they love eggplant more than anything from what I've read, I am thinking of how to best combat them in the future, could be a video!
I’d love to hear what got you into gardening, because it doesn’t sound like something you’ve been doing forever. I grew up with my parents and grandparents having huge gardens. I was the child that would not help. I don’t dirt or bugs, and I’m terrified of bees. But I’m starting to garden now in my 40s, because it just tastes better. I’m figuring out how to make it work for me. Raised beds, benches I can sit on, gloves, waterers on timers, etc. I can control my fear of bees when I see the polinators. Yellowjackets, however, my husband eradicate. So I’m learning from you and Kevin. My first garden this year gave me a few cherry tomatos, one pepper that I’m hoping ripens before NE Ohio gets our first frost (any time now)….and a ton of lessons.
Might be a good video in the future to go over my path to where I am today! My parents always had a garden and I remember it from my childhood, my education background however is geology!
Jaques your humble strawflower aka helychrism is not only a great pollinator and dried flower but the essential oil extracted from the helichrysum is one of the best for pain relief
@@jacquesinthegarden extracting essential oil takes a lot of produce to do it right. I reserve a special spot in my gardens for the straw flowers as a medicinal plant . Lavender though a scented pollinator and culinary herb also has medicinal uses as an essential oil. I toured some essential oil farms and it takes about a semi trailer load of peppermint to make about a gallon of essential oil. Rose and Helichrysm are amongst the most expensive oils as the blossoms are all that is used.
Triple Crown Thornless do well here in Los Angeles and the Green Jade Eggplant hasn’t had any flea beetle or spider mite pressure like my Japanese varieties. Overwintering for sure. Great video!
This is such an incredible garden! Our Sungolds also have made it through the winter and thrived, just hearing you mention it reminds me I have to go prune LOL! Gotta love this SD weather.
Just wanted to point out that you can make a great tea out of the blackberry leaves. If you’re gonna get rid of all of them I would grab a bunch and either dry them out or ferment them and then dry them out.
I let it ride as long as I can, the root system gets better and more resilient over time meaning I don't have to pay as much attention to them anymore!
Watching this old video I noticed immediately the speed in which you speak vs now. It as SO much easier to understand you then vs now. Normally I have to use cc and back up a few times to get what you’re saying. Not a criticism… just an observation. I truly enjoy your videos and appreciate all the knowledge you share.
I agree with you about using the greenstalk for beans. I too was going to use them for herbs and decided at the last minute on beans. They're producing much better and with out losing as many to critters.
You’ll need to pursue all the roots, to accomplish a successful swap of blackberries. Really impressive throughout, and both pink and red flowered shrubs are spectacular!
I hope you enjoyed this updated tour! This will act as the starting point as a clean slate from which I can start showing the evolution of the garden. If there is anything you saw or anything I mentioned you would like to see a full video on drop a comment here and thanks for watching!
Looking forward to the chicken videos! Chirp the sweetest buff Orpington 💛
How do you overwinter eggplants? Same way as peppers? Do you prune heavily?
3 of my eggplant plants got destroyed. I have only five left now. Mines are a year old.
Would be nice to know for how long the plants can be kept.
I’d love some longer videos that show the process of start to finish for a particular edible and also some videos on starting seeds for the next season/scheduling process
nice job!
Your cameraman is ... EPIC
Join Jacques and I: 🐣🐣🐔🐔🐔🐓🐔🐔🐤🐥🐣
Consider this me been a pain in your non existing chicken coop 😂
There is a shoutout we owe to the Epic cameraman, fortunately for me he is a better camera man than I am!
Hmm I wonder who it is?
Lol. Whoever could that be???? 🤷🏽
😂
Thanks!
Now that is an Epic garden. Not like that other guys 😂
Sass! 😂
It's refreshing to see people be honest about the things that didn't go perfectly.
Hey Jaques! Don't get your beds too organized love the way they look very organic and intuitive very different from Kevin's. You should do a video on mushrooms!
I found that when I used straw for mulch I had not put it on deeply enough.

It got over 118°F here last June and July. Right now we have 3 feet of snow. You videos soothe my soul!!
Oof those are some extreme extremes! Glad to hear you found your happy mulch depth!
hey Jacques! I would love to hear more about your origins story: it seems like this 18-month garden isn't your first? because you have so much knowledge! I'd love to hear more about when & how you got started with gardening :)
Could do a little background video in the future!
the apprentice strikes out on his own. You can never have too many gardening channels, so congrats! BTW, I have sun golds too, one of my favorites.
Love this garden style. I saw a vid where, for a special chicken treat, they put a small log in the chicken run. Then they roll the log over once a week and the chooks have a ball going after all the bugs.
That is a great idea!
So glad you've started a channel!! Would love to see more! Especially, your process of revamping things that didn't quite go as you hoped!
Nice video Jacques! I look forward to watching the growth of your channel. It's gonna be a hit.
Hope so!
I've never seen a new channel have so many comments, the algorithm is going to love this!
Woo! Lucky 100! Jaques, thank you for the update about your garden! I love hearing how people try, try, and try again! "I don't actually know everything that's in here right now," and "this is where it gets a little jungly" 😅 both speak to me!
Its better to grow something than leave it bare while getting hung up on ideas is my philosophy!
Watching your adorable and healthy chickens at the end makes me want chickens so badly!
Nice tour Jacques! Love the chickens!!! See you next time!
Your garden looks great! The purple corn was really pretty even dried and spooky like that, and Chirp and friends were adorable! Look forward to seeing more!
I saw the tour of your garden on Kevin’s channel. I’ve been following him for a long time. Just stumbled on your channel and am excited to be subscribed.
I love how he started his own channel!! Hope to see you on the epic gardening channel as well!
We absolutely will be working together on many future videos and projects!
@@jacquesinthegarden Thats great!! Hope you reach 10K soon and many more!
Thank you for sharing your garden with us! Just felt so calming watching you walk through it, sharing your thoughts. I look forward to seeing how you designed the parts of it with what you had available. Your chickens are beautiful, let us know what varieties they are, and how you care for them.
Really cool video man, you did a great job in such a short time! 👏🏻👏🏻🙌🏻
Would love a mushroom bed instructional video
*_SMART GARDENING STYLE, WOOOOOWW!!!!, JACQUES IN THE GARDEN, You are teaching me to be patient with plants,we will not get tired of watching this video, please don't stop gardening, continue like this, GO GO GO GOOOOOOOOOO!!!_*
Hurray - great to see a garden in progress - and its successes and the not-so-successful areas. Thanks.
Nice video and garden. I like that you tell us what worked and what didn't. Looking forward to your future videos.

Noted!
So would I !

Did you start a garden?!
Great first video! Can't wait to see the next one!
love the garden tour! would love to see tutorials on your diy builds and tasty garden recipes, thanks for sharing your knowledge jacques!
Hard to believe you've been doing this for less than 5 years. You really have a talent and passion for it. I'm glad you found your calling.
Welcome Jacques! Thank you for sharing your beautiful garden, spirit and vision with us!
I can only dream of having a beautiful garden like yours. You’re so knowledgeable! Thanks for taking us along.
Amazing. You are capturing the vibe that I want in my garden. This was special. Thank you for showing us.
Chirp squatting while you pet her!!! So cute
Sure. I do remember Kevin mentioning you would be starting your own garden & channel. Congratulation. Thumb up and subscribed.
Wow, all that in just 18 months! I am impressed with your garden and I feel inspired to continue and do more.

Your chickens look so healthy and happy.
Glad you started this channel! Watch you on Epic, but the more gardening content the better. Look forward to watching.
We have a Little Tikes play house in our yard (kids are now in their 20's) that has become our little gardening shed. You use what you have!
Haha absolutely, I have many things like that around the yard!
Congratulations on your first video Garden Hermit!
Great to see the progress of the garden! Good for you! Good luck. Can’t wait to watch the channel develop!
Beautiful video! Your garden is a little heaven.
Look at that thumbnail of him holding his chicken ✨🥹 so precious I have one like that and she’s my favorite gal
Mini greenhouse goals!!! Do it.
Hey Jacques! Pumped to see what lies ahead! I’m really interested in the different types of trellises you’ve got going on. Turns out I did a Parisian trellis this year and didn’t even know it lol. Looking forward to hearing from you again!
Absolutely amazing!!!
Great video! You have a lovely garden. That passion fruit teepee is amazing, and your chickens are awesome. Love it!
Thanks for sharing your garden Jaques. Appreciate your transparency re: successes and failures. I'm a fan! I'd love to see more close-ups of plants and panning of the area you're showing us. Keep 'em coming!
Are you and the Epic Gardener a thing yet? Your chemistry is unreal! Love the garden Jacques, its come such a long way! ❤️
Haha no we are just friends who happen to like gardening!

Looking forward to your videos!!! Thank you for the tour!

Also, flea beetles?!?! Yuck. Future video on combating them?
I was honestly surprised I flea beetles! I know they love eggplant more than anything from what I've read, I am thinking of how to best combat them in the future, could be a video!
It's DEFINITELY a video!
Garden Hermits Out! 💚💚💚
I love your channel so much!
Keep making videos, they are so relaxing and educational
Gawd I miss my 7 Hens and the "ROO" (rooster). What a giant gentleman.... Thanks for the memories and future garening days days ahead...
I love that 2 of your chickens are named for Peep In The Big Wide World!! My kids loved that show when they were small!
I’d love to hear what got you into gardening, because it doesn’t sound like something you’ve been doing forever. I grew up with my parents and grandparents having huge gardens.

Thanks for sharing, I have been meaning to try out the green jade! It seems they left my "fairy tale" eggplant alone which is nice to know!
Amazing Garden Jacques...love it.
Love the chickens Jacques!! I could watch them scratch the ground all day
4K quality? Love that! Thanks for the great garden tour, and I am glad you share the successes and failures. Looking forward to more videos.
I am so excited for you and am looking forward to more of your garden videos
Fantastic video, love what you’ve got going on and I can’t wait to see where you take the garden and homestead throughout the years!
Love your garden and your chickens
Thanks for share epic Friend of the garden!!
This is such an incredible garden! Our Sungolds also have made it through the winter and thrived, just hearing you mention it reminds me I have to go prune LOL! Gotta love this SD weather.
Its hard to beat!
Just wanted to point out that you can make a great tea out of the blackberry leaves. If you’re gonna get rid of all of them I would grab a bunch and either dry them out or ferment them and then dry them out.
Interesting, I have heard of raspberry tea leaves before but not blackberry, makes sense!
I love to see the kale growing so tall. I don't often see that in videos where people harvest the leaves up as the plants grow
I let it ride as long as I can, the root system gets better and more resilient over time meaning I don't have to pay as much attention to them anymore!
Super Nice Garden in a Short Time. Well Done.
Love the garden Jacques, look forward to watching your futures videos!!!
Loved this. I'm jealous of how big your backyard is!

Wow nice basil will be happy to have some
This is great! Can’t wait to see more videos!

Looking forward to the next video!!!
Love your garden! I also love the work you guys do together in the Epic Homestead! 👍
How did you learn so much. You are amazing. All that in 18 months. Good teacher too.
Love dat u got lotsa varieties. Dats my garden goal too
You’ll need to pursue all the roots, to accomplish a successful swap of blackberries. Really impressive throughout, and both pink and red flowered shrubs are spectacular!
Good point that digging out the roots is essential !
I love the design of your garden, it feels very natural and relaxing. Glad I'm not the only one with a basil forest. Looking forward to seeing more!
It is a nice natural feel, especially with all the birds chirping and flying around!
Wow, you’ve done an amazing job!
Your entire garden is amazing, it looks beautiful.
Cool yard space...
How to build PVC based garden structures would be useful.
Maybe incorporate how you use the food you picked?
Your chickens are adorable!!
Great video Jacques! Can’t wait to see more 😁
an excellent start. looking forward to many great videos. thanks for sharing
Love the tour and nice garden.
I found this video very enjoyable and relaxing.
Those chickens are beautiful
Your garden 🪴 is all greenary and doing very well all the best for coming days 👍👌💕
Thank you for sharing your garden! It is absolutely amazing. I love how natural everything looks.
