My garden's buried in snow at the moment so this is gonna have to satisfy my gardening urges for now.
In NE PA watching under a blanket 😂
Same.
Same 😢
I'm thinking about bringing in the shelving unit I put in the greenhouse to grow inside until spring. I'm going stir crazy without planting.
@@h.s.6269 counting down to seed starting 🥹
I’m in northern IL. We had 2” of snow for about a week then it melted. Having green grass in December is nothing but a cruel tease.
I love how Eric drives himself crazy trying to plan this stuff, but Jacques just does it without thinking or being dramatic about it.
Poor Eric.
:(
The Eric joke will never die 😂
@@elainechan7155 We should start calling him Barbara and really confuse everyone.
Nothing like starting over. Great job Eric.
The level of jealousy I have, watching you two eating those oranges.
Why not take a drone shot of your outdoor space and then draw out your vision for it that way? I know walking it is important too since that should feel natural, but just seems like having an overhead view would help. Love the Christmas gifts for the guys, memorable and useful!
We have before! Need to again though
For those who don't have a drone, I suggest the quick-and-dirty route: Screenshots from your choice of Maps site.
Find your property on the Maps site, zoom in to screenshot and save.
I would also run around with a tape-measure to get everything to-scale on the Map.
I so wish i lived in a warmer area. It's snowing here, and i want to plant everything 😅, love it good job....Eric and Jacques 😂
Thank you! 😃
Me too! I wish I could have citrus trees here but no, it's snowy... But it won't be very long until I'll start growing from seed indoors all the vegetables and flowers for the next season. Last year I started chili peppers in January and that onwards there will be a lot to take care of. Now I'm really into houseplants too, so I'm quite restricted on space for the seedlings!
I grew up in So Cal moved to Denver in ‘93. Stayed there for 26 years before coming back. I miss the four seasons. I did have a Meyer Lemon in a pot. Brought it indoors around Labour Day and Outside Memorial Day. The only problem I had was a squirrel thinking the fruit was for him, then leaving it when he realized it wasn’t.😮
Loving this redesign Kev. Great gifts for the crew
Thanks 👍
Glad to see that I'm not the only one who is constantly redesigning my gardens! I'm planning at least two new gourd trellises next year!
It's too fun!
I listen to your podcast everyday while I work in the nursery. I have learned so much from y’all. Thank you for your content. My sister and I love all your videos so much, it has inspired us to do our own videos and start a TH-cam channel about our own gardens and homesteads.
Sooo Jelly over your citrus in the garden!
Something many of us in cold country will never know.
I, too, was also drooling!
The new design looks like a winner. Very exciting👏 Re the paths, be sure they are wide enough to get a wheel barrel or wagon down without damaging the plants.
Good call!
I love the Opinal #8. I got it as a gift and it's the best garden knife I've owned.
"Editor: I'm literally drooling" me too man me too.
I have enough cutting flowers and herbs to always bring an arrangement with me and have in guest rooms. So, perennials, greens, fillers(Statice), annuals, rhizomes(calla), lillies, and herbs. Center it with sunflowers and mini christmas trees, or fern tree. People love that. Or a giant Poinsettia varieties. Easy to grow in SD,,
Oh yeah, maybe pick a bug or insect you like and make that the shape of your garden. It would have the curving lines you are looking for. With creative placement of plants, once it's grown it would probably look really cool from a drone.
Jacques is not on board with a grub-shaped garden. 🤣
When you gave the "dirty dogs" gifts I thought it was going to be a dog treat or collar or other joke gift! 🐕 🦴
Hahaha normally would but had to express gratitude
Satsuma’s! Just learned about them watching your vid this morning and THEN found them at the grocery store. I couldn’t resist. I had to try after watching you both. Best mandarin I’ve ever had! So sweet and juicy. ❤ Thanks for the Inspiration. Can’t grow them here in not quite warm enough North Carolina but glad I can buy them 😋 Keep on inspiring!❤❤
my polinator patch is basically all my brassicas that went to seed! lolz.
I would border the pathway with native pollinator pops of color that blend into the garden and landscaping.
I love the Botanical Interest seeds, been using them for a couple of years before finding these channels. I like them more than the popular local company here in Maine.
Appreciate you using our seed!
Cara Cara oranges are the absolute best orange ever!
We made our own terra preta with compost, charcoal, rock dust and horn shavings.
Might be interesting fo you as well.
There is a company from austria (Sonnenerde) that makes terra preta and on their youtube channel they even do scientific analysis of the soil before and after enriching it. They even have a 10 year old vegetable garden with their terra preta.
they say you never have to turn the soil or add any extra fertilizer as long as you keep the soil covered in mulch.
Ohdearlawd, you've inspired me to redesign my garden layout which includes digging up a 15'x15' section of grass! The new section will probably be a free-flowing patch for squash and melons and I'll need to rethink the layout of the 16 raised beds that I have running the perimeter of my yard and in one corner (I need to add a snack table too). 😆 I'm excited but also a little scared of the work it will require! I had better get me a boyfriend by March to help dig ha ha Thanks for the great ideas!
That's a sweet gift, Kevin! Love the plantings for the etched-out bed. If you are still not solid about some of the paths, you can always get some cardboard boxes and pretend they are pavers and lay them out on the proposed walkways.
Look at Garden Answer for tips on all of the ornamental varieties!
She's done them all.
Good luck, love the design.
Laura is amazing
She really is!
She would be a perfect addition.
Imagine living in a place where you can plant seedlings outside on december 1st 😂
While wearing shorts!
That’s quite an imagination!😂
I’m still trying to imagine citrus fruit😅
Still a great space even if temporarily out of service. It would have been really fun to draw it out but the ai approach is definitely more hip. I'm excited to see how that beautiful pond informs the new layout of the space
That satsuma looks great. Super productive apparently. (Citrus ironically struggles in Florida now).
I'm excited about your new design. Can't wait to see what perrenials you'll add as well as new veggie varieties and trellis. Great plans!
Satsuma is on my list to add to the yard next year. I found out a while back that my neighborhood used to be an orange grove back before the houses were built (mine was built in 1949). I think cara caras taste like koolaid disguised as orange juice 😂 too sweet for citrus!
We're in Houston and the all the citrus STILL aren't ripe! But the trees produced well, considering the drought. Guess the dead of winter is the best time for vitamin C. 😅
“Snack podium.” 😂😂😂 Jacques is my hero!
You can try wedged shaped garden beds fanning out from the small table area in the middle you suggested.
I can only dream of what it would be like to garden for more than 3 months out of the year 😭
Sounds like you need to invest in getting a greenhouse to grow the other 9 months.
@@SanDiegoCaliforniaUSAyes, that is the only way, but it’s too cold and would cost a lot to heat.
@@dustyflats3832 That's just an excuse NOT to grow your own food for the other 9 months when it's to cold outside.
I like to screenshot my property on google maps and doodle ideas onto it with paint until I find something I like 👍
Them Dirty Dawgs better get a raise with that Knife. 😊
OI OI PINOY 🤙🏽 I HAVE GROWN A CUTIE TREE FROM A SEED FROM ONE OF THE MOST TASTIEST CUTIE FROM TRADER JOES. PLANTED ONE SEED 🙏🏽 AND SHE IS HAPPY HEALTHY THRIVING AND I LOVE HER ♥️
I love cara cara oranges. They're so good!
Love me a 'pure ass orange'.
Can't the finished product 😂😂😂❤❤❤
45 years and your video just made me realize why Navel oranges are called Navel oranges. Thank you Eric Homesteading!
You bet!
Hey guys, I'm in the East County and I have a 3-year-old potted finger lime I'm looking to rehome. Would one of you like to have it? I'd be happy to get some sample fruit over to you. They are falling off the tree at the moment. Love Cara Cara oranges. Glad you waited on the Satsuma to come around.
No thank you! Have one
I thought Kevin was gonna give them Jet Skis like a quarterback would for his line...but that makes more sense.
That's so epic to grow cuties! We buy multilple bags of them and they are a much loved source of vitamin C in Alaska. Pomelo are also go9d
I swear that looks bigger then 30 by 30...you guys rock on your use of space.
Really like the Vlog Style! 😁
Thank you for sharing 🙏
Cattle panels are easy way to make a tunnel or trellis.
Have 3 16' sections, may use!
Snack podium. That’s going to stick.
Yeah the full video 👏🏾👏🏾🥰
I love all your videos, the homestead, main channel, and Jacque's as well. I have been watching for a few years, and you were my inspiration
to start my own gardening channel.
Hey, Paul! Try using a car jack for removing T-posts next time. My husband put our car jack on a board and then put something on top to attach it to the post. Worked great!
Can’t wait to see the final design, guys! You got me thinking about our garden space for next year!
That's a great idea.
Thanks for the tip!
Yes, my husband uses a piece of rope tied in a prusik knot slipped over T-post and uses a bar to cantilever over a piece of wood. Thankfully we have sandy soil. Of course they make a tool for this, but we are gardeners not ranchers😊
I am sssooooo jealous of all that fruit growing in winter 💖
I love the videos where the two of you are working together:)
Kevin!😍
chucking the orange discards to the garden behind you..
Only way
beautiful garden Eric! Keep up the good work.
I always use center on the hose when starting a new bed or grow bag!
Always fun to see the thought process. Love that we got to see the personalized 🎁 gifts. That Satsuma tree is making me debate if my small balcony can handle 5 fruit trees 😅
Ericques has jumped ship and now works for Jacques
I was totally thinking the same: after soccer practice snack plus fun toy when the fruit it gone.
The garden is looking great! Great work guys! 🙌🏻💚
I would love to see y’all do an Epic food forest/guild set up.
CanadianPermaculture Legacy
on youtube has some great videos that explain the science behind it, but his set up is kind of uncontrolled and it’s not really “epic” scale, more budget scale. It doesn’t LOOK all that great because/and he has more land than an average person.
Lots of youtubers have done food forests but I think Kevin’s organization, desire to make it look good, and tendency to take things to the “epic” maximum would all help fill a niche that has been missing.
I think you also mentioned wanting some burms and swales to help capture rain water on the slope you have? Teaching about building on contour could be a great video.
If you got into more native EDIBLE plants I think it’d be more than just entertaining it’d help make a difference in ecology as people see how good natives taste, how great they look, and how well they work along side traditional plants.
😊
Great video! 👍🏼
You could start with Ground measurements, and then take an Ariel view and layout different looks on a computer screen.
Interesting piece of trivia! Cuties are grown in my area by Sun Pacific, in fact years ago my family owned a truck scales, and I weighed many of the trucks coming through laden with cuties and other citrus!
A classic brand!
When we moved into our house 10 years ago (Gulf Coast of Texas), we had a beautiful navel orange tree and a lemon that looked like a grapefruit in size. Three years ago we lost both from the freeze. I sure miss them 😢
Sorry to hear!
I'd love to see videos of the whole process. Not all in one edited video, but the whole process
you should make some plaques to display nameplates on for your citrus so Jaque can id them better...
Your garden is going to look so good! Can't wait to see it all grown in.
Wish I had a bit more of your climate. Right now, here in the Netherlands, it's mildly freezing and the ground itself is also frozen. Back in business hopefully in March/April!
Stay warm!
Awesome gift 🎁 Kevin. Gorgeous papaya tree! Skylight/s in outdoor room please. How about some hand carved plant tags?!
Not a bad idea!
very creative..😊Soooo rewarding eating friot from the tree you grew..
After your peas have you ever thought of growing pole beans? They need some sort of trellis to climb up on. Just a thought. 🤔
Have some in the garden rn!
Kev, the paths are gonna feel so.....permanent. 😅 Sorry.. my indecisive spidy senses are firing! Lol. Are you going to use concrete or brick? Or wood chip paths incase you decide to go a different direction? Pun intended. 😂
Time will tell!!!
@epichomesteading awww cliffhang me! Lol 😆 eager to see the results! I'm sure it will be...... epic!
Imalso growing dusty Miller! And pansy and snapdragons😀 I got the first two in click and grow mystery pack for christmas and I always grow snap dragons 😀
that center setting is putting down much less water down than the shower setting...that's a pretty big reason for why it doesn't pool up
I will still slam a crate of California Cuties😅, I have to give myself a daily limit.
I'm glad to see your design boys🤎🤍🤎🖤 And you Kevin gifted those wonderful knives 🤎I see that this Christmas you will live inside them🤎🤍🤎🤍🤎🤍
Omg you are so lucky growing fruit. What about a nut tree and avocado too?
I'm pretty sure he's planted an avo in the back yard.
Have avo! Nut maybe
Crow daddy, what about a bird bath in the middle of the garden?
Not a bad idea
Hi how is your compost bin really working for you ❤ I would also love to grow an orange tree I love oranges my space is too small
Hello Kevin, I saw that you planted some echinacea. Did you cold stratify your seeds? And if so for how long? I’m having trouble germinating. Thanks
Nope!
@@epichomesteading Hi Kevin, thanks for responding. It may be the seeds that I got from Home Depot. I’ll try one more time. I will try Botanical Interest Echinacea Seeds from Armstrong Gardens.
a little off topic but any advice on apple gourds i get bad germination and fruit drop seems to only be the apple variety i struggle with
What's the plan for paths? Stones? Pavers? Crushed gravel? Bark mulch?
You'll see ;)
When will the epic homestead book be ready to ship
The Satsuma vampire, Jaqula if you will
Why not put your sitting coffee table area closer to the greenhouse side wall so that you know that plants aren’t ever going to shade off that side of the greenhouse especially if you put some plants on the ground of the greenhouse?
Growing hops there
04:15 which A.I tool was used, gotta love seeing people from different spheres using tools from others spheres to use in their sphere
Chatgpt4
Shouts out pure ass oranges
Tyty 🙃
Eric Gardening #1
My garden is small terrace with some resources😅😅
So I also like using different settings on my hose, including the center one, depending on the situation. They do have unique patterns/strength, so why not take advantage of that?
Agree!
Do you guys plan to do a seed catalog?
We have one! Visit www.botanicalinterests.com and click "Request a catalog"
Do you have a Natal Plum growing at all? Just curious, you see them all over our area but rarely ever see anyone eating them when ripe. Tasty fruits.
They are prolific here in San Diego is native landscaping so we don't grow in our property
Who let the dogs out?
I lost my opinel knife😥 I think I threw it out with my weeding. Ugh
:(
I've always heard cuties are Clementines, not satsumsas. But both are really yummy.
Jake, what have you done with Eric?
Hi Eric 😅 0:28
