Thanks Kevin! This seed starting setup has far exceeded my expectations! I could not be more pleased with how simple it is to start seeds and how well it works compared to starting everything in my hoop house like I did before.
@@urbanfarmstead Do you grow your seedlings completely under the grow lights, or do you rotate them outdoors to the sun any before the hardening off phase?
How do hey Kyle, how do you keep your seed starters plants watered while you are gone fighting fires? I have found mine dry out almost every other day.
Finally someone in Sacramento! Since we're in the same city I will be able to follow what you're planting as the seasons change, so I can plant them too! I love your "metal fence" trellis! 😍 I'm going to do that next year!
Ur the reason I started planting tomatillos, last year I stunned upon one of ur vids of u biting into a nice tomatillo from your garden and for some reason I could not find you once again. Thanks!!! Please be safe
Thank you for your service. Glad to see that you’re happy, and back home safe. I would love to see a video of how you manage pests in the garden. Do you have a hard time regaining control of your plants from pests if you leave for a period of time or are not able to get out into the garden as much as you would like for a couple of weeks? Thanks.
I'm so glad I found you this week! I've been binge watching, and find your videos clear, concise, and very educational. You are now at the top of my go to list for gardening videos!
Stir fry swiss chard with cubed sweet pie pumpkin and some sweet fresh onion... soooo good! I also add swiss chard to pasta sauce, eggs, pretty much anything most people would add spinach to. I don't like how spinach gets so mushy when cooked, so I use the chard instead. Also (and I'm just south of you in Stockton) I grow my kale as trees all year long for several years.
Kyle, this was my first RUclips with you. Loved it, even though I live in Southwest Michigan. Can't wait to watch one of your videos! God bless you for all you do. May He keep you safe in the laborious work you do!
Another Sacramento person, excellent. Good video. I'm in Sacramento, also, but I'm in an apartment that is situated so that I don't get enough sunlight to grow anything :(. I soooooo wish I had a yard to grow my own food. Especially, berries. I want to have a small baking business and berries make great pie filling that can be used for a lot of goodies. And thank you for being a firefighter!
@@urbanfarmstead I checked into that but there isn't a community garden close enough to my place for me to garden in. I don't drive, so, it would have to be walking distance. I want to move, anyway. Good suggestion, though.
So glad you’re here in Sacramento. I am in Wilton and my husband and I are new to gardening different vegetables and fruits. Thank you, I am learning so much from you.
Oh and how lucky to be gardening in a zone 9! Zone 5 here, hardneck garlic in 2 weeks ago and carrots are only thing left to harvest. I grow lettuces indoors over winter. But for us now is the time to rest, dream and plan.
I’m so glad I came across your channel! I watch a lot of gardening channels, but they are all different zones. I’m 9b too (about an hour from Sacramento), so you have been especially helpful! I just started my fall garden last week but still have zucchini going along. I look forward to more videos! Thank you for your service with the fires- very appreciated!
I don’t know where you find the time but your gardens look fantastic. We homeschool our 5 and grow much of our own food. It’s FULL TIME!! Thanks for your great videos! We love them. From Nova Scotia Canada.
I seriously would have watched you plant each bed. I know it's to much to video but perhaps the carrots would be nice. I planted (kinda) a whole seed pack of carrots and I think maybe 20 came up. Now I say kinda because it was getting dark and I may have just thrown some of the ground and patted them in lol. I really need some help in the carrot dept. The first time I grew them I started them in a tray and transplanted them. They did ok. I think (lol) I know better now but.....Anyway thanks for sharing. Janice
Yes, a bit of foresight, planning, and hard work up front will set you up for success and save lots of work later in the season and in the seasons to come. Happy gardening!
This video may have just stopped my mental break down. I was not well with no faith left when your video about your orchard popped in my head and for whatever reason it calmed me and gave me hope. I thought that was weird, but I went with it and came to your channel and it's working 🙂If I make it through this, I can have my own orchard😄💪🏽🌳
Hi Kyle, I thought for sure I would see peas. I live in Auburn right up the road from you. I planted pole for the peas and a bush variety for the shoots. I don't know why I never thought of carrots this time of year but it's logical being that it gets hot so quick. I too got a late start because of the fires but more from a health perspective. We has very low visibility for weeks the smoke was so thick. Thank you for your service Kyle. I don't know how you do it. We deeply appreciate all our police and fire for keeping us safe.
Hi Judy, Yes, peas are also a great winter crop in this zone and in fact I’m actually hoping to get mine sown tomorrow. I’ll grow them on my trellises. We’re fortunate to still have a bit of good fall planting weather to get more crops in the ground. Happy gardening!
The recommended seed spacing on packages is based on antique garden equipment. Our equipment has improved but for some reason, the seed companies have not upgraded their spacing recommendations. Many plants can be grown extremely close together using trellises.
Gardening in Sacramento too! (Orangevale) first time doing a fall garden and was glad to see you post this video (was patiently waiting lol!) ❤️❤️❤️ glad you’re safe from the awful fires this season
Hey Kyle! Thanks for sharing this, I also live near Sacramento and so all your information fits right into my life as well! Looking forward to seeing your new setup for your more permanent garden!
I can tell by the comment section, that many of us are happy to find you. Seems like a lot of gardeners from zone 9b can be confident in following your advice. Thank you for your service.
Thank you! Yes, it can be challenging to adapt garden advice from gardeners in different zones. I’ve been growing in 9b for sone time now and although there are certainly differences throughout our zone, I’d say it’s a pretty great one to be in.
I was wondering why you didn't post often especially being such a great teacher, but now I know. Glad you're home safe. Thanks for all you do. Looking forward to watching your other videos.
Yeah, I wish I could post at least once a week but my goal for now will be twice a month and hopefully find a way to post more often. I do post more content on Instagram and Tiktok as well.
@@urbanfarmstead I had one storage box, went to Michels's to get another and they're on sale today: only $15 ea. I got two, now two for veggies and one for flowers. Just found the channel, I'm in Chico, 9a. Awesome garden! Thanks for your channel and your firefighting.
Thank you for your service. Your garden practices really pay off when you have to be away from the garden for a longer period of time. Can't wait to see how your fall garden develops. I am already putting covers over my fall beds, here in zone 6a (zone 5 microclimate).
Welcome back! So glad you're safe. Thank you for what you do for California! Curious if you've seen Kiss The Ground and what you think about Regenerative Gardening. Thank you for all the info! Love your diy seed starting rack!!
Just new to your channel and you may not see this message as it is an older video (I live in Southern Australia so it is the right season for me) We had a horror season with fires 19/20 so I have gratitude and admiration for the job you and all firefighters do.
It's good to see that you're safe and happy, I live in SoCal and I know how devastating this fire season was. I hope that you continue to stay safe out there, thank you for your service. Also I highly reccomend perennializing your pepper plants so you won't have to seed them next year and they are already established at the beginning of the season. It usually provides me with higher yields and better tasting hot peppers.
@@urbanfarmstead We Miss the Bay Area weather, it’s unfortunate race is cancelled -am supposed to run the CIM next month. I’ll be happy (in my tiny garden) fall gardening instead!
Thank you so much for this video. I always enjoy your videos and learn a lot. I’m a beginner gardener and hope to someday have a garden similar to yours. 🌸 and thank you for your service. 🚒
Kyle you're so amazing!! I just found your channel and i'm binge watching your videos. I have a question, do those wood chips stay in place if it's windy??
Second the request for pest control. I lost half my crop of tomatoes to rats this year. I am in Sac as well. Thinking of getting a barn owl box in hopes of attracting them.
Thank you for that suggestion. I’ll definitely be creating some pest management videos, but there are many pests and many wats to manage them organically so hopefully I can start that series soon. I bait rat traps with cherry tomatoes and place them among my tomato plants.
Hi, thank you for protecting my home, I live in California & i can smell the smoke in the air. I love your garden & I follow your schedule on planting. I am thinking of making a seed starting rack like yours. Can you tell me know you water your seedling? How often? How much?
Hello! great video! I remember in a video of yours you mentioned you have been doing no dig gardening for the past several years. I thought you might like to check out Charles Dowding in the UK for his RUclips videos. He is known for his no dig gardening method. His videos are very informative and relaxing because he just has such a kind and pleasant personality. I was truly impressed how he showed succession/interplanting to get the most from the garden. I think you will definitely like his videos. Thank you for your service as a firefighter and happy you returned home safely from the fires this summer in CA!! Will be trying to make the trellises in your garden for mine this year! They really seem to make to most out of the garden space and make harvesting easier!!! Take care and God bless!!
New video finally. 🥳 I tried to plant watermelon last year but it's got totally failed. Poor watermelon🙁 And it's spring actually. Getting warmer every day.
Super excited for the fall garden! I am also in zone 9b as well so everything you said is very relatable. Thank you for your service and all the hard work you put into your videos to share to the garden community! Happy gardening! Can’t wait to see your fall garden update!
First off, thank you for being a fire fighter! I have friends in Cali, and it was scary out there. 2nd, of course you're friends with Kevin from Epic Gardening! I love his channel, also. I have goals for a small farm, but im an urban homesteaders right now. Third, I'm so glad I found your channel! You're so fun to watch, and you don't ramble. Excellent stuff. I love those trellises we used upcycled rebar from.my husbands job for our trellises (architectural concrete designer). They got rusty, but they wor and they were FREE.. Also, I'm currently binge watching all you're stuff.
Kyle, thank you so much for dedicating yourself to trying to keep California safe. It is a scary prospect these days. I am so delighted to find a gardener in the same zone! I also have sedge, the scourge of the plant world. My set up is almost identical to yours in terms of beds, irrigation and paths. How are you managing the sedge? It’s a constant battle. Any tips would appreciated! Best!
Very excited to have found your channel. We live in Petaluma, CA. Same Zone 9, same heat wave. I'm a new gardener so am really looking forward to learning from you. Thank you so much for your service as a fire fighter too! Total hero in my book! My home was very close to the Glass fire this year. Scary stuff!
I have watched and enjoyed MANY gardening channels. Just found yours and it is instantly one of my favorites. Thank you for taking the time to produce the videos and for sharing your knowledge and experience. Happy fall growing from a Zone 7b gardener and new subscriber.
Your videos awesome !!! I have learned so much from you and the gardening tips . Thank you for putting California fires out and the gardening wisdom . 😃
This is great!!! I'm in the CA Bay Area! So I was excited to find another gardener in my "sort of" area! My garden tour this year, was larger than ever before. I'm loving to experiment with new plants this season! 😊
Experimenting with the best tomato pruning for 19 years in San Diego, growing on steep slope. 4’x 8’ steel mesh from HD (used for concrete) - sits in between two stakes vertically, 20” above ground. Clips. Let grow first 2 shoots of each tomato plant = three trunks tomato plants. Next 2-3 shoots let root in water - future plants. All the next shoots on three stems let grow to the first bloom, than cut tips off. So far this gives me the best crop. I do not prune cherry tomato.
Hello! Happy to find your channel, I’m also in Sacramento Ca. It’s nice to check and learn how plants behave in the same climate. Transplanting my kohl Arabia and parsley today. Your tomatoes looks awesome.
Nice! I shot my fall planting video about the same time, and I'm also about a month in a half behind, but mainly because of a back injury. I wish I had the luxury of just cutting my nightshade and other plants rather than pulling them up. Unfortunately around here in S. Florida we have root knot nematodes. So I solarize my beds every summer. But I love the idea of no-till when possible. I love your indoor grow system too. And yes, I'm also glad you're back and safe!
Thanks for fighting our scary fires! You’re a hero to Californians.
Dude...great tour! Love your seed starting setup Kyle

Thank you so much for your service as a fire fighter too! Total hero in my book! My home was very close to the Glass fire this year. Scary stuff!
I’m so glad you found my channel too, and exciting for you to start gardening! Thank you for your support
Wow! Agarraré esa día sencilla que usa para sostener mis tomateras el próximo año 💚
Thank you!
I have watched and enjoyed MANY gardening channels. Just found yours and it is instantly one of my favorites. Thank you for taking the time to produce the videos and for sharing your knowledge and experience. Happy fall growing from a Zone 7b gardener and new subscriber.
Thank you so much! I’m so glad you are enjoying the video on my relatively new channel. There are many more to come!
Thanks for sharing and greetings from 🇧🇿 amigo. Dios bendiga su vida y familia!
Hi! Thank you!
Your videos awesome !!! I have learned so much from you and the gardening tips . Thank you for putting California fires out and the gardening wisdom . 😃
Thank you so much! I’ll glad you’re enjoying my videos. Thank you for your support!
Yay! Just found your channel. I’m in the same zone in SJ. Glad to find a channel with info and advice that applies!
Hi! That’s awesome! It’s great to share experiences with gardeners and farmers in the same zone!
Thank you for your service and this amazing channel! 🙏
Thank you so much for your support!
This is great!!! I'm in the CA Bay Area! So I was excited to find another gardener in my "sort of" area! My garden tour this year, was larger than ever before. I'm loving to experiment with new plants this season! 😊
Thank you! I agree, it’s always nice to have relatively local garden sources. Happy gardening!
Thanks for great info, seeing another garden local is what interests the most. We are in Citrus Heights, so same environment. Thanks!
Experimenting with the best tomato pruning for 19 years in San Diego, growing on steep slope.
4’x 8’ steel mesh from HD (used for concrete) - sits in between two stakes vertically, 20” above ground. Clips.
Let grow first 2 shoots of each tomato plant = three trunks tomato plants. Next 2-3 shoots let root in water - future plants.
All the next shoots on three stems let grow to the first bloom, than cut tips off.
So far this gives me the best crop. I do not prune cherry tomato.
That sounds awesome! Thank you so much for taking the time to share this with me! I might have to give it a try next summer
Hello! Happy to find your channel, I’m also in Sacramento Ca. It’s nice to check and learn how plants behave in the same climate.
Transplanting my kohl Arabia and parsley today. Your tomatoes looks awesome.
Hi! Yes it’s definitely helpful to have local sources
Nice! I shot my fall planting video about the same time, and I'm also about a month in a half behind, but mainly because of a back injury. I wish I had the luxury of just cutting my nightshade and other plants rather than pulling them up. Unfortunately around here in S. Florida we have root knot nematodes. So I solarize my beds every summer. But I love the idea of no-till when possible. I love your indoor grow system too. And yes, I'm also glad you're back and safe!
Thank you for your service. Truly heroic work.
Thank you for your support!
I Love you’re gardening
