I had 5 hollyhocks that were growing for a year and they were getting huge this year and a gopher ate every single one in the span of a month. I have an evil gopher demon in my yard and it refuses to be caught. I had an exterminator come out and they wanted 325 dollars to catch one gopher. Also it was broad daylight like 1: 00pm and he was in the yard for literally 30 seconds and said oh I just saw a big rat run by over there then when I looked he straight up goes oh it's gone now but I just saw it then he just focuses on rats and barely mentioned the gopher. Rats do not run around in the open in broad daylight. He was totally trying to make shit up and rip me off. Sufficed to say I said I'll get back to you haha. Total scammer.

I did an experiment this year on my seeds that prefer direct sowing, and sowed them in toilet paper rolls and just transfered them directly to the ground. It doesn't disturb the roots and the toilet paper roll is biodegradable, so it breaks down relatively fast when put in the ground. All of the plants I did like this are doing well! I did my cilantro, cucumbers, peas, and beans like this, as well as direct sowing them. They all grew just fine, and at the same rate. My cucumbers actually did better with the toilet paper roll method!

We're doing kitchen renovations and morning glories someone else put in got loose migrated to our property underneath the fences of a couple different properties and caused gas line problems so severe we were without gas and electricity for more than 24 hours when it was fifteen degrees farenheit outside. You might want to think about restricting your morning glories to a container with no holes. The municipality you're in might have strict consequences if the morning glories get to someone else's home.

The reason i dont think people have luck with cilantro is because they grow it in warm weather
Seed start them when ur ground is a month or two from thawing. Then plant out when night time temps stay above 20 degrees F. Harden off for a week then plant out as sson as u can. Cover if its going to be very cold or if snows coming. But it will survive still! Then harvest, chop and freeze for the year. If u try to grow it with temps 80 F and above it will just go to seed

Cilantro! I lightly crack the seed hulls, plant them densely in your Epic 16 cell trays (LOVE these by the way, put under lights on a heat pad. Once they germinate, off the heat pad. When they get a few true leaves, I either pot them up or move them outside. Works brilliantly every time. I grow cilantro inside all through the brutal Midwestern winter this way. I am trying the Vanilla Ice Sunflower and Florence of Italy onion this year. Let's go 2025!

Hi guys. I have loved your videos and tips so much I decided to shop with you this year. I placed an order for seeds March 20th. I have had no updates on shipping 10 days later and zero feedback to my inquiries via phone call and messaging. Please advise. I am in Northern California. didn't think it would take that long to get my order if you are processing from San Diego area. Maybe someone will respond to my comment from here

In reference to the lemon grass I feel like people talk about it being hard to germinate grass but I've always used the paper towel method (where I put them on a damp paper towel in a ziplock bag) to germinate them. Then the day they do I put them in seed mix and that has made germinating grass really easy for me.
Also I start my lemon grass in like December and let it grow all winter to get it to the right size.

Tromboncino is the best grow it up a trellis for straight fruit, otherwise it curls around itself. They’re more amusing when grown straight. It’s very vigorous plus it’s a moschata variety so it can stand up to the SVB.
Parthenocarpic cucumbers under cover, all the way. Can’t get them past the pests otherwise.
Isn’t it late for onions Also, lots of zones left out lots of the rest of us!

Lol Meg, lemongrass does actually work on mosquitoes, maybe you need to talk to Ana and figure out how to do a lotion with it. The one I used to be able to buy had an oil type base, but was sort of creamy too. But I never noticed the plant repelling mosquitos, kind of like geraniums supposedly repel but I never actually saw that happen either.

I didn't hear it mentioned but please remember, if you use a kitchen thermometer PLEASE wash it before putting it away. There's very much microbes and bacteria in a soil that can get transferred to the food you use the thermometer on next. While the micro organisms may be beneficial to soil, they might not be so beneficial to your health!

Farming has completely transformed my life! With the right approach, dedication, and smart strategies, I’ve been consistently making $45, 000 every month. It’s amazing what’s possible when you apply the right knowledge. If you’re serious about growing your farm income, let me knowI’d love to share what worked for me!

Love your videos, but wish these kind also had a northern perspective! I am a small space gardener in Michigan and our April starting seeds ate different from the warmer climates. I am still always going to watch, of course, but would love to see a more northern gardener on your collaborative videos!

I put my cilantro seeds in a plastic bag and crush them, not a lot and sow them in container and they germinate faster. Right now I'm in my third succession planting. Getting my milkweeds ready from overwintering from last year. We had torrential rains here in Texas this past week. Happy gardening my peeps.

best way I've found to germinate cilantro - get medium size pot, put in potting soil, spread seeds evenly, press in seeds into soil, water thoroughly, and cover pot with plastic bag and ruberbanded on, leave outside for a week. The extra humidity and changes in temp/light seems to help them along.

Kevin & Jacques, I feel so blessed to be in the same 10B zone as you here at the beach! Last Monday I received my 1st large order from Epic gardening. Absolutely the seedling 4 and 6 cell trays. Most of my seeds poked their little heads up out of the potting soil cells yesterday and lots more today

I buy lemon grass stalks from our global food market. I cut about a 1/3 of the tops off and remove a few outer leaves and put the stalks in water but just enough to cover the root nodes. Change water frequent. In about a month, you’ll have new roots and ready to plant in garden.

I'm already very inspired to start preparing the garden and starting seeds in containers, then your videos put that inspiration into overdrive. I almost have to stop watching them, but I won't! Thank you for the knowledge and inspiration!

Kevin, we are NOT ashamed of you!
I do, however, have a secret hope you will plant some shimomoley and mention it repeatedly.
(I have been growing tons of chamomile now for 2 years, because it reminds me of you and makes me giggle)

Ohhhhh, telegraph improved is the variety I need. I've been looking for what the variety was that is that shape. The closest I've found locally is Armenian white, but also found a few other varieties online I've never seen seed from.
