- @jacquesinthegarden and I went "Off the Stead" last week up to Seattle, WA for the Northwest Flower & Garden Show and had a BLAST. But I came home to an overgrown tomato seedling jungle, stretchy beans, and more challenges in the greenhouse!

Damnit Kevin, I’ve clicked on your video and now I’m in the green thumb mood. The Lowe’s and Home Depot right next to me will not get out of this unscathed
If it makes you feel better, I'm feeling the same way, but didn't see this til after everywhere closed. 😢
Hahaha hit a local spot!
@@epichomesteading If that was to me, I was watching when the only thing open was bars. Lol. And as much as I like the idea of a plant bar...... we don't have one locally. Lol.
Honestly same, I’ve been blaming Kev and Jacques for the garden fever😂💚
Home Despot*
I need more of Kevin and Jacques exploring a city.
We do too
I know, huh? Who'd have thunk it.
It was nice seeing "out of character" Jaques. Kind of felt like a special behind the scenes moment. I saw some other comments saying it would be neat to see you guys take in the city sights! I concur, maybe upload the outtakes as a members only special
The absolute vibes of that montage, pristine, scrumptious even
Can confirm, it was scrumptious 👏
Kevin, please. It's Pike Place, not Pike's Place. Thanks!
Thx!
Kevin you have produced one of the best catalogs I have ever seen. I read it like a novel. I absorb as much as I can then put it away for a bit them come back to it. So much good info and so well done.
Ugh…I want one!!! 😂
I requested one but nothing ever showed up 😢
Love these style of videos mixed in with the normal content! Was sad to miss you at the Garden Festival- next year y'all should have a booth! I only saw one booth selling seed starting gear (silicone pots) that wasn't a greenhouse, and I definitely would have snagged some 4 cells for up-potting my 6-cells. Would love to see more edible gardening booths and talks there next year!
I'm so glad you got to spend a couple days just being in Seattle, hope you had a nice visit.
Was great to see you at the garden show. Glad you found where they moved your books, I knew they'd sell out!
Another word that came to mind during the panel discussion was "Grace" in all you do, extending grace to yourself and others is a hallmark of your vibe. You don't claim to know all-be all and are very generously sharing your journey and lifting others as you rise. Best of luck to you and yours. Carry on!
I've got such an itch to start seeds, but it's still too early in zone 4a. I shouldn't even start for like another month.
I'm jumping on the bandwagon for more vids with Kevin and Jacques exploring different places. Great stuff! Seriously though "Epic Travels" needs to exist.
You make good content Kevin and Jacque
Perfect timing Kevin
I need this video as a guide to pot up my tomatoes
Thank you for always sharing your knowledge of gardening
You really cultivate everyone’s green thumb
Did I see Jacque eating siopao?
I love the metal plant tag
I am excited for spring to sprung 😊
He had one, yes!
It is always hard to play catch up after travel - the garden grows so much in your absence! We have a ton of worms now too, I think all the rain really helps.
I used to live near Seattle and I loved Pikes Place Market, my favorite was the fish vendor throwing the fish across the aisle!
I definitely vote for the new stainless steel plant markers! I hate throwing the plastic ones away and they always break so fast. I have tried wood ones and they just get dark and hard to read, and the copper ones fade over time. Today I am enjoying the sunshine and putting together my new birdies beds!
The garden never seems to grow that fast once you're chilling at home...go away for a week or 2, and they seem to get separation anxiety or something...boom!
I think the stainless steel tags you showed will be a good "budget", but long lasting tag, but over time it will probably still rust in the wet, ion filled soil in the garden. will last longer than plastic for sure but theyre definately not going to be a "forever" thing I imagine.
I have seen some porceline..? glazed clay..? whatever the material is called. That along with Glass or polished granite would probably make much longer lasting tags given the conditions, since all are basically (or literally) just rock. All of which would probably do quite well on the store, because imagine coloured glass markers, could have a chart in your greenhouse of what colour is which and then be able to look out and see at a glance which is which. I suppose you could do the same with the glazed clay ones. different coloured glazes, they would also be easy to read off of which the glass might struggle with.
hope to see what ends up sticking though.
I have been thinking about using some aluminum pop cans to cut up and make tags. Would be able to use stamp or something to label, or just use a garden marker or grease pencil on the. Being aluminum should avoid the rust issue, and still be durable while avoiding plastics.
Just For Knowing
In Iran We Make Pickle's From Green Tomatoes!!! Just put A few Green Tomatoes in the Jar and Add Garlic Salt Chilli and Vinegar Let it stay in the jar for a few days !!! If you have green tomatoes , try it you might fall in love with it
can you do a video with gardening on concrete and rusty equipment? like for people who have tons of old carpentry stuff left over in their yard
Yes a vedio if growing on concrete please
You're uppotting tomatoes already, I still have another week until I plant my tomato seeds. Zone 7 life
I grew Chocolate sprinkles here in New Zealand. They're a solid producer and tasty as. They're very very tough. I had one in the ground outdoor still producing in late autumn.
Hey James,what part/climate of NZ? Like, coastal, mountain, plains? Not sure how your hardiness zones compare to the US. I'm in northern New Mexico, 6900 feet, dry and sunny 280 days. Extra windy spring/autumn, but a relatively short growing season for tomatoes: late April to Early November before first frost.
@@Neenerella333 I was in Auckland, so that's Zone 8a, with a South/East facing property that received not much Sun due to tall trees. It gets cold and humidity is high in autumn. *Note South/East facing would be your North/East facing equivalent there, so pretty shit.
Chocolate sprinkles is a hybrid and hybrids will always do better than heritage, this is why it survived. I kept the seeds and they all stayed true to type considering it being a hybrid.
I'm in the Seattle area. Please let us know if you're going to the H&G Show next year. I'll def get some tickets!
Another one from Eric Homesteading! Today’s off to a good start 🎊
It is absolutely ABSURD to me that we are both in Zone 10B and yet my weather here in South Florida is NOTHING like yours. My tomatoes are in the ground and producing like crazy right now.
Loved the trip video. Mee Sum pastry is great.
The stainless tags look great. Don't love plastic. That's partly why i seed start. Have used Popsicle sticks because they bio degrade. Stainless looks cool.
I purchased garlic from Epic gardening, refrigerated them for way too long, planted all of the cloves even the not great ones. They sprouted within 10 days and were off to the garlic races. Then all of the California rain dumped on them. Multiple rain storms over the weeks that kept the from drying at any level. They started to look a little yellow but are now back to green and amazing! They are planted in rows and there are 4 blank areas where nothing came up so most of the cloves sprouted and are doing really well. I don’t know what the garlic head will be like but so far so good and very satisfying.
love chocolate sprinkles. found 1 last year in april and it produced from june to a dec freeze in new orleans. Had so many i was able to get seeds to hopefully do more this yr. not really an issue but it grew over 10+ft, went about 5ft up then just kept going another 5+ft
Hey Kevin, do you add anything to your soil for seedlings? Compost or anything?
Would love some more seed starting videos, those monthly ones you did for a while were amazing and so very helpful!
Welcome to the beautiful PNW, I hope you guys had a great time and favorable weather during your visit! On the other side of Washington I can’t plant out my tomatoes until the end of May at the earliest so I will just live vicariously through you folks who don’t have winter for three more months 🥲
Same here it tough :( zone 6 I’ve noticed my neighbor gets away with planting right after Good Friday. He just somehow knows it’s not going to frost.
@@csrazle554 Solidarity my friend 🤝🏼 I’ve had frost as late as Memorial Day weekend so I pretty much plan for not being able to plant tender stuff until the first of June but occasionally we get a pretty mild May. I won’t start my tomato seeds for another month. At least I have started peppers and onions and such to fawn over in my seedling shelves while everyone else is actually gardening outside.
Have you followed Susan Mulvihill "Susan In the Garden" she is in Spokane and has recently mentioned joining with the Epic Gardening universe! So exciting to see the ever expanding talent and knowledge ❤
With long tomato seedlings like that, I like to cut toilet paper rolls in half and use that as support for baby tomatoes. It helps them a lot in the beginning and it’s recycling!
Thank you for reminding me why I saved a bunch and stashed them away. As I was organizing my stuff for this season I found them and couldn't remember what I saved them for. This was it!
@@noelkuiper1199 Yay!! So glad to help!! Happy growing!!
No S at the end of Pike lol
‘sup?. amazing trip! goodnight, Epic!)
Why is Jacques so fast lol.....like he walks to fast lol ......like Kevin seem like he trying to keep up lol
Love u Jacques, but imma need to walk with Kev.....I like to enjoy all my surroundings ....aka IM SLOW 🐌 lol
OMG Seattle!!! If you're back up here come to the Snoqualmie Valley!!! We have blueberry and lavender farms out the yang, and I could show you my secret blackberry spot! I pick like 6 pounds in 45 min! This was GREAT!!! Love this city up here!
Damn Kevin, that jawline looking lean.
;)
My hubby used to work at Pike Place in the mid 80s. He made candy, fudge and caramel apples.
He grew up in Seattle. I loved visiting Seattle! We live in California, since '88.
Question about the next up potting. What will be the next size and will you transplant from that. Or is this the final pot before transplant? Being in outside of Boise, I'll need a head start, about 8 weeks. What should my final pot be before transplant? Thank you!!!!
Was this Seattle trip in 2024!? It doesn’t look dangerous and overrun by homeless anymore in these shots. Yay our funded good guy police are protecting us! I’ve been nervous to go back in the past 2 years.
Also, yes, best food in the USA. Healthy competition on each corner to keep it gooood.
I recognized you guys! So fun to meet you at the Northwest Flower & Garden Show. Thanks for the photo op and all the gardening tips/advice.
Nice work ❤🎉
Hey Kevin! Good to see you in the garden ❤ Question: I am in zone 9a (TX) and my avg last frost is about 10-15 days out. I have been so out-of-my-groove this year and have not gotten my tomato and pepper seeds started. Am I too late? It’s gonna be in the mid-90’s temps by late May for sure. 😭
I have grown Chocolate Sprinkles for the last few years and they're a family favorite. I'm excited to see what you think of them compared to your usual varieties. Greetings from Maryland Zone 7a!
I loved this video. Please tell me Jacque is going to be at the Aquascape event in July. You and Laura were the first two gardeners suggested to me in 2020. You are both informative and entertaining. I love the addition of Jacque to your site. Just thrilled to be in the same event as you both. My bday present to myself!! Love my grow bags and Birdies beds and 6 cells!
Maybe it's been covered in another video, but why pot up tomatoes instead of starting in a 4-cell?
I just started some in 4-cells, now I'm wondering if I made a mistake.
It's the brassicas! Some brassicas actually give off a substance that kills mycorrhizal fungi. If anything, the fungi web might stop right next to the cabbages haha.
Omg stainless steel plant labels are what I've been desperately trying to find here in Australia, but unfortunately they don't seem to exist here 😢
I know you don't sell your amazing Epic Cells etc in Australia yet, but I live in hope!
Kevin... all your veg is way bigger than mine. I plants tomatoes 3 weeks ago and they're about 1 inch big. Carrots a month ago and only about at inch. My brocilli and cabbage all stayed mini size and then rabbits ate them 😭😭 I am not giving up but when am I doing wrong 🤷♀️
Its great that your climate is about 2 weeks before mine. I can kind of judge my progress by the size of your seedlings in this video. I have a question about the linaria. I planted some in a 72 cell tray. I turned my back for 2 seconds and my little helper had dumped the entire pack of tiny seeds in the tray. Every single one sprouted. How do I keep them choking each other out before they are big enough to thin out? They are about an inch tall and blanketing the tray like microgreens. Also, are you hiring? I have a computer and a business degree. I think I could fill a slot on your team nicely. I have enjoyed watching you grow as a gardener and entrepreneur. I would love to be part of that.
I was _just_ thinking the other day when I was planting my seeds that I wish somebody had some sort of metal plant tag that I could write on, because I refuse to use the plastic tags. So I used popsicle sticks instead and wrote on those, but a good metal reusable one would be ✨awesome.✨
I'm here in 10a central FL and it's incredible the way cold fronts affect you in California even though it's generally a warmer zone. Fortunately we were not impacted by the large cold front this year and I took advantage and got tomatoes planted in early Feb. Based on how warm winter was here, everything seems to be about a month ahead, which concerns me a little about the heat that might come this summer.
Oh my gosh! That's our neck of the woods! I didn't realize you came up here for the show! I'll have to watch for it next year. We go every year.
Awww, no clip with Becky from Acre Homestead? Bummer!
Hope you guys had fun anyway!
You need to come back to PNW and come see the hydrangea gardens up near Seattle!
Do you guys plan on coming back this way for other gardening events?? Def need to know for next time so i can go see you guys!
I grew “Chocolate Sprinkles” last year and wasn’t impressed with the flavour.
Might not be for you though. 😂 I am debating if I want to track down my tomato seeds and where to set up seed starting stuff or if I want to wait til May and just buy starts. 😂 Love the metal tags.
I visited pikes place a few times as a kid visiting family friends. All I remember is the people throwing fish expertly all over the place like Cirque du Soleil
The metal plant tag is cool! Songbirds are eating my carrot greens growing outside the cloche. 😢 Wish I can successfully grow root crops one day.
So bummed I missed you at the NWFGS. I always go but got sick this year. I would have loved to hear you speak.
How do you combat the ground squirrels from eating your seedlings? I’m in north county and am constantly losing the battle with them.
Surely you guys should come down to Australia for the Melbourne International Flower and Garden Show 👀
I saw you guys on the speaker list and wasnt able to make it the days you presented-I was bummed! I hope I can can catch you guys next time if you go again! ☕🌱
Chocolate sprinkles is a favorite in my garden. I’m in 10a and all my tomatoes are in ground since last week!
Why not just give the chickens a slight trim at the wing tips? Doing so stops them flying so high and they also don't mind at all, this is a old technic taught to me by farmers in Portugal. Hope it helps
I have to tell myself everyday to not put my seedlings in the ground yet! I really wanted to wait another 30 days, but it the weather holds...2 weeks might be all the restraint I have.
We just bought your 4cell pots for our lettuce ,, we found them at pikes in atlanta . Great reusable starter pots !! So great to see y’all’s brand this far east
You guys are great! Always puts me in a good mood watching your videos
If you have leggy tomatoes when you are ready to plant them in the ground or bed; lay the tomato plant on its side and cover the stem all the way to the branches. The tomato plant will grow roots all along the stem under ground. You probably already knew that.
Hi Kevin. Can you give more information about planting beans deep? Is is similar to tomatoes? Any type of beans? I've never seen it done before.
You were in town??? Shoulda coulda woulda popped into pacific place right down the street from the convention center 😂
Seeing jacque without a hat made me profoundly uncomfortable
Great video Kevin. I like the stainless steel tags. I personally avoid plastic tags, because they are plastic. This is a great option.
Love the montage! :) If my tomatoes get too long n leggy I use tp rolls on top of the soil and pot up in the cells/pots and put tp rolls around also and put soil in there also, you can pull the whole thing out and plant deeper, roll disapears and no transplant shock or very little. :)
You’re already transplanting beans and I’m still a week or two away before I can transplant my bulb onions.
You guys are so fun. You’re def a big part of my gardening journey. I also have some tomatoes that need a bigger home 😅
Nice garlic Kevin. Was that a liquid 644 you use on them? Nice to see you guys out and about.
I planted the chocolate sprinkle once. it was tasty but was slow growing for me. my summer got too hot for the tomatoes.
Will you post a video or part of a video discussing your opinion on GMO seeds a consumer level? :)
Awesome weather for a Seattle 1st visit! Garden looks good 💚
Nice tags. Do they fit under humidity domes?
Chettys looking for bugs 🪱
👌 🏃🏻♂️ 🏃🏻♀️
My tomatoes just sprouted. We’re growing Black Cherry, Italian Ice, and Sunrise Bumblebee. I love cherry tomatoes. I mostly growing for color, although Black Cherry is my favorite tasting tomato. I also trying to grow the cherry seeds from last fall, but have no idea if they’re even sproutable. And lastly I’m growing Jaune et Vent Patty Pans.
Wish I knew you were going. I'm a born and raised Seattlite. Next time you go, if you like Seafood, hit an Ivars (Best clam chowder) and an Anthony's. These are excellent restaurants.
Will go there next time!
chocolate sprinkle is really good. produces all summer, doesnt mind heat
A lot of the stainless steel tags we use so much plastic once and then it is wasted. Trying to reuse the plastic tags it’s not the easiest thing.
chocolate sprinkle cherry tomato is my favor!! as I am not a very good at grow vegies or fruits, three years ago I acidentally bought a starter from HD and it grow like craze, not just that it is so dellicious!! I told all my friends and some of them starts grow it, all of them are so happy about it!
Good to know!
This video was fun with the little vlog! It's also nice to see how to handle not perfect or ideal seedlings.
Good to see Eric with his hands in the dirt
Whatever the commenters say... if it's positive I thumbs up.
Love your montage of your time in Seattle 👍. I’ve grown Chocolate Sprinkles tomatoes for the past few years; great taste and quite productive. Grown in Alberta zone 3.
It's hard to recognize jacques without his iconic hat on. Lol
I really like the way you are going with this channel.
It's almost like we are right next to you when you are filming yourself doing some things in the garden while sharing some good knowledge and tips.
You and Mark (the Dad Joke Gardener from Australia aka Self Sufficient Me 😁) were the first RUclips Gardeners that i found a few years ago and you both are still my favorites.
Thank You so much for inspiring and showing all of us what you can achieve in the garden and in life! 🙏☀️
Could you do a video on book recommendations, please? :-)
I call Chetty “Chetty Wap”
If you know, you know.
I am jealous that you are able to start seeds so early and already have your seedlings so ready for transplant whenever the weather is right! I live in Central FL, so it's not an issue for most of the year, but our "winter" is sort of obnoxiously cold (for here..), can get a light frost if it gets in the low 30's. My garage is sweltering 10 months out of the year, and then frigid for 2 lol, so seed starting indoors has been a little challenging, though the heat mat seems to be helping. I was thinking about making a faux greenhouse out of some acrylic sheets fashioned together, I usually do about 2-3 of the epic trays per round, depending on time of year, so I think it is doable. May make a few small holes just to allow some ventilation.
Sorry, long tangent, seedlings look great!
Spring is coming, have the fever today for sure with 62F in zone 6a! Lots of blueberry bush pruning and fertilizing and acidifying happening over on the east coast! Great to see you guys.
Garden looks great Kevin. I have found not thinning beets gives a decent second or even sometimes a third flush. They will push away from each other well and as you harvest it will allow others to take up space. Carrots obviously dont work out so well but baby veggies are so posh! 😂😊
LOVE the stainless steel plant markers! Can’t wait to try them out
Look at your plants. ❤ Lo e the plant tags. 😁👍 Up here, it's up to 7°, and only 3 inches of snow on the ground. Getting close to time to plant seed trays. I'll start dropping seeds, in trays, next week.
OMG Eric! 🤣 huhum, I mean Kevin... I want those plant markers!!! 😱👏👏👏
Need to know where you guys went in Seattle! I'll be heading there soon!
Large red solo cups work great for potting up tomatoes & can be reused.
Thank you for the education you provide to budding/struggling gardeners. Through the years it’s been hit or miss. I’m endeavoring to improve my gardening habits for a better outcome when harvesting.
I really like the bed with the peas and kale at the end. I think that's gonna be my plan this year too!
Jacques with beanie looks like a whole different person
