Your life's path has really changed. From getting your PhD to becoming a full time RUclipsr and gardener. Not mentioning all the work you do at Epic. Warehouseman, shipping clerk, garden tender, content creator. How has your family responded to that? Perhaps you could make a video and share details on the swift alteration of your course.
It has been quite a crazy change in many different ways! It was a culture shock for my parents and family to understand what the heck I am doing but now its proven itself out and everyone is happy and proud. I may do a years in review video sometime during the winter, that could be a fun experience.
Your videos are so comforting to watch. Slaying as always Jacques
I like that you make seed starting videos with Kevin and on your own. It's two of my favorite things you guys do:) thank you:)
Hi Jacques, did you ever do an update on the peppers that you seeded a few months ago? I know you were trying some new to you varieties. How did it go? Can we get a favorites video on the peppers?
They are still chugging a long! I have potted up a few and placed a couple in grow bags which are growing along nicely.
I started my first round of cool season veg in August and just planted them yesterday. I started my second round of seeds yesterday. We are having unusual cool overcast weather here but I will take it over heat and Santa Ana winds.
Yeah the Santa Ana winda are just waiting to ruin our gardens 😂
OMG Jaques. I LOVE broccolini! it worked out SO well to give me about 3-4 months of steady broccolini enough for stir fry's every week, sometimes multiple stir frys a week
Its the best! So much better and way way more versatile!
I'm starting lots of beets, and carrots. Cilantro of course because you always need it for cooking. and several types of greens, some cabbage.
So, I'm still a novice gardener (always learning! your videos have helped a lot! thank you!) and tried planting some patio choice yellow cherry tomatoes in May. They got stunted and I didn't have the right soil mix, they kinda died in the cell, so I shrugged and moved on. I tried again in July so I could start them outside, this time with a much more appropriate mix with vermiculite, some compost for nutrition, and a humidity dome so they wouldn't dry out in the heat of the day. They FLOURISHED, and then I panicked because good god what am I going to do with tomato seedlings in JULY??
So I potted them up, planted them out, and now I have six determinate tomato plants growing in my greenstalk, flowering and enjoying this quite elongated summer we're having. Fingers crossed that they produce!
If they are that far a long then you should be good and will be gifted with a nice bonus harvest! Love the insight and observations you made to get around the issues you had!
Love being in the garden with Jacques
I was waiting and waiting for you to say peas. My mom always starts them in early October so maybe it’s a tad early. I actually like the taste of beets and I’m determined to grow enough this year to pickle!
I did start peas but I have them directly in the ground!
@@jacquesinthegarden oh cool, thanks for letting me know! Love your channel.
Pickling peas is not something I'd considered before. Sounds good!
Loving these videos and the variety of vegies your growing! 😍🙌
Another great video Jacques. I'm looking forward to my fall garden.
Thanks for sharing your tip on screening potting soil for seed starting. Brilliant!
Gardening while listening to Jacques is peak vibes.
Perfect timing! Just got some cabbage and baby cauliflower in the ground but… artichokes! That’s a great idea. 😋
Love your channel
Sweeeet man thanks for the help I'm getting those seed starting trays for Christmas
No problem 👍
I enjoy listening to your videos.
I envy your seasons my friend. Here in Montreal (Canada) I have what feels like a tiny window of growing time. I soooo wish I could plant brassicas now 😢 You're garden is beautiful. I love the thriving life evidenced all around you.
Thank you! It is wild to think about gardening for only a small critical window of time, you for sure have it harder than me.
@@jacquesinthegarden it's all for a good cause 😄 Actually if you want to see a permaculture guy from my neck of the woods who has a MIND BLOWING food forest check out Canadian Permaculture Legacy. This guy is an engineer and deeply researches what he does (for our climate). Amazing place. He has a pond/pool for him AND the wildlife. Pretty snaz 😄
This video gives me hope. I was starting to think garden was only feasible if you like tomatoes..and I eat a tomatoe here and there but I wouldn't grow them, I just don't eat that many. Beets, on the other hand are my favorites, including that earthy taste - yum! Also love broccoli.
The best part of gardening is growing what you love to eat! Load your garden with all the broccoli and beets you can fit!
I had great luck with the smaller Tiara cabbage last year after failing on cabbage timing the previous year. My garden isn't as big as yours and it's really perfect for the small garden. I've got 6 sprouts in the ground right now.
That is great to hear, I think I first learned about them from Meg at SeedtoFork, great little variety!
Dear Jacques I like the style of your garden so much. Looks like you are in nature (not in a museum..Exhibit A, Exhibit B) 😄 It reminds me of the garden of my grandma, who passed away this February. She loved mixing flowers and vegetables and fruits together. It is not common in my land (Slovakia), so she was "very exotic" in the small town, where she lived hihihi I like our channel very much, you brighten up may day. I wish you a great harvest.....and waiting for your payback to monsieur Kevin 😉😊💚 Btw. we call Snapdragons "little mouth", because, when they bloom and you push the flower gently from the sides it opens like a mouth :)
Thank you for the kind words! The looser mixed style like this is absolutely my favorite, visiting Bulgaria as a child must have given me a lot of inspiration that stuck around!
grumble grumble starting fall seeds when we are about to get freezing weather grumble grumble hahaha. I wish I had your climate
Haha sometimes I wish I had a freeze, no more than a month, but something would be fun
@@jacquesinthegarden some freeze is fine, nice even, I enjoy the cold air. What i dont enjoy is 6-7 months of snow and ice getting below -40*C
Sprouting broccoli is one of my favorite vegetables, hoping to grow some next year.
Great garden host 😊
Cilantro, brócoli 🥦 excelente 🤩
Excelente explicación
Leek soup is wonderful!
I enjoy these seed starting videos so much. Wish i saw more! Understandably, that would be a lot of seeds lol 😅my seeds dont always gerninate or live though lol
I have had zero luck with nasturtiums so far I had no idea they didn't like the heat and sun. Totally trying these again now!
They love the should seasons from fall through spring!
I've had those Bulgarian Leeks in my Baker Creek cart for a while now. I guess I needed the Garden Hermit seal of approval!
Hi, what size cells did you use please?
Do it!
I plant them in 6 cells to start!
Que lindo jardín
I totally enjoy all your videos and have learned so much!
I was wondering if you have made a video on how to preserve seeds from current crops for next year s garden?
I have posted a few random ones but never a full video, might try that in the future!
Given your love of sprouting broccolis, I’m curious if you’ve tried sprouting cauliflower, and if so if you have an opinion on it?
I am actually trying some for the first time right now! Will let you all know when I harvest it!
I am so lucky to have both NH and TX gardens. I am going to try garlic here in NH again before i go back to Tx. We'll see next may/june if i have success
That is awesome!
I had to laugh at your cauliflower comments. I grew seedlings of "Graffiti" cauliflower from a garden centre this year. Lovely heads, magenta pink on top and white on the bottom. When I steamed them, they turned a dark blueberry blue on top with grey blue underneath. I just couldn't eat them, they looked so weird.🤣
Exactly, they look cool rae but then you cook it and it loses it's appeal
Love your videos :) Now i have to check out those bulgarian leeks! The ones i've grown from a local store are almost all super tiny.
They are really quite the show stopper and sweet!
Dear Jacques, this is my first time starting a fall garden. With everything dying off like tomatoes - do I pull the whole plant (roots and all) out of the ground? Amend after? What do I do to prep my raised beds? Thank you...
I’m not an expert, but in Central Texas we don’t see much production in our tomatoes in the summer. But, if you can keep them alive, even if they’re a little sad looking, as long as you watered and fertilized, that’s when my tomato plants start flowering and actually giving me fruit… USUALLY! This year has been weird, weather wise, so it’s entirely possible that we’ll wake up to an arctic freeze one morning; from 104° to freezing. JK, sorta’! Just sayin’…but that’s only if you are in a warmer climate with enough time for them to mature. Last year, in late November, when, expecting our first freeze that night, I pulled 21 small green tomatoes off of one plant that I still had, and just let them ripen in the house; more than I’d gotten all spring/summer. Good luck, if you haven’t pulled them already.
Hi there! It can be a little varied depending on what your goals are. If you live somewhere where it will get cold soon like if it gets under 50 degrees within a month then your tomatoes are done for. In general I like to snip the plants at soil level so that I leave the roots in the ground to decompose. This returns some of the nutrients back to the soil. After growing plants like tomatoes which are considered "heavy feeders" aka they use a lot of nutrients, it is best to add some slow release fertilizer or at least compost to re-amend the bed. With raised beds they usually start to settle leaving room at the top which gives you a good opportunity to add more soil or compost!
Thanks so much @@jacquesinthegarden for taking the time to make a detailed reply. :) I live north of you in SD county. I will do what you advise, thanks so much again.
Buen video 😃
Thanks!
Thank you!!
First time starting a fall garden. You and Kevin gave me the hope to try. Got radish, beets, cabbage, spinach, peas, and some lettuce mix going. Already harvested and made a salad from my lettuce mix.🎉🎉
Amazing!
I started a bunch of seeds at the beginning of the month but the on thing that came up was one sunflower. Hopefully the second round I start tomorrow will fair better.
Best of luck! Bad germination like that can feel awful but it is always worth to try again!
You should try Avalanche beets they are white, sweet and not earthy. I love them ❤
I grew Avalanche for the first time this year and second this rec. Avalanche doesn't have the earthy/"dirt" flavor that many people find off-putting with beets. In general, red > yellow > white when it comes to earthy flavors in beets.
@@jjd13579 yes👍
This is one I've seen that I keep forgetting to try! Will try to snag some this year
@@jjd13579I think it’s called geosmin compound that gives the earthy taste to beets and chard. The darker colored veg have more nutrients.
@@jacquesinthegarden I hope you do. And give your review. 👍😉
Bonito paisaje
My garden is on its way out. In 4 weeks it Will be empty and waiting for April
No fall planting? 😊
@@arthursoto4285 nah doesn’t really work here. Too much rain and too cold in the clay soil makes even garlic rot or get severely stunted. But I live in north west Europe so my growing season is like 5 months
Such a long gardening gap, have to remember that it is the majority of peoples experience!
If you like the Italian leaf brassica, you should try Gai lan (chinese broccoli or kale)
I have a few of those growing in the garden right now! Looking forward to harvest soon.
Great 😊
Hey! I just got some of those granex (?) onion and some french shallot seeds on an adhd nursery whim. Never grown onions before (because I thought they took about a thousand years) but I'm going for it. I've watched about every available onion growing video on YT, but still not sure if I should start them indoors or just put them in a bed...
It's still damn hot outside.
Where are you at? Zone?
@@jacquesinthegarden Texas coast, zone 9-10ish? Microclimates for days around here, haha. South facing side of the house has had the same tender tropicals thriving for like 7 years.
The back yard though... even the natives commit suicide.
I'd be ecstatic if I could just get like, 4 tomatoes. This summer has been brutal.
Thanks Jacques! When you say get your fall seeds/plants in early exactly what month are you referring too? August? September? It’s mid September and I’m starting seeds and have some I started end of August/ beginning of September.
I try to get seeds started in August and September. I begin transplanting in September and try to get as much as passible in the ground before mid October! Anything planted later is "fine" but won't likely produce until spring time.
Gran enseñanza
I struggle with growing flowers from seeds. I would get them to germinate and then nothing. im in zone 10b but in florida. Any advice??? Would you consider doing a seed to flower video for snapdragon?
Hi Jacques, I could have sworn I recently watched a video you did on getting your carrot bed ready and sowing seeds but I can't find it.
Hi Jacque…appreciate you and all you share! I’m in Orange cty 10b, sow flower seeds indoors and want to switch outdoors. What did you do with all the rain we got last winter/spring? Did you move trays inside, undercover? Can the seedlings stay outside from fall to transplanting in spring? Is there anytime/anything I should be aware? Newbie here and have watched all your seed videos. Thanks again for helping me
I usually go straight outdoors all the time! The rain was stressful but ultimately where I am it didn't end up being a problem. For outdoors seed starting the most important thing is to protect yourself from the wind. Winter wind can be very drying and chilly so placing your seedlings somewhere that doesn't get constant wind is best!
@@jacquesinthegarden thanks for the tips…I’ll give it a try
This is my first fall season and I just cannot figure out how to get seeds going for transplant. I have tried different lights, soil blocks, trays, and they sprout but then stop growing (or don’t sprout at all). Any video you have that covers it all? I’ve watched so many seed starting videos and I’m doing what they say to do and still no luck
Buena siembra
Excelente
nasturtium pesto is actually really good! there are recipes online
Still haven't tried that preparation
For your seed starting soil, what size do you sift through? E.g., 1/4 inch or smaller?
1/4" is the way I usually go for seed starting mix!
I live in zone 8, but this year im planting more than usual in fall, I dont think frost is hitting me until late december
I find that is always worth it to push the season with a few plants, not enough to be an investment but enough to be able to sneak away with a good bonus harvest!
Warm weather garden states always confuse me😂. Is there ever a down time? I would burnout.
I just happily cleared out some tomatoes. I would like a long fall as it’s when the peppers, Brussels, broccoli and fall flowers are doing great. There was a frost up north last week so not much time left.
You spoke of sifting potting soil and all I can think of is a bag I opened and was all bark😂. That I have😂😂
Here in the SoCal, very little down time unless we are in a drought. For example, this August we had over three inches of rain, which is unusual, because our usual rainfall total for August is about 0.15 inches. Consequently, weeds everywhere, which is unusual for this time of year.
It is sort of exhausting to never have a break because it also means the diseases and pests never get a break! It is a weird garden season that never ends and its all in the balance of random winter and spring heatwaves and drought! Also bark loaded soils are the worst!
@@jacquesinthegarden the drought I know all too well this year, it’s been extreme. We now are getting ‘some’ rain, but we will take all we can get before winter freeze as the trees are suffering. Z5, WI.
For the past 2 years I've had trouble growing beets! They are either stunted or leggy and don't produce a bulb. Any ideas on how to get them to produce better? I appreciate any advice!
There is a chance you have the issue of no boron in your soil. Beets will simply not grow without that micro nutrient, if that is the case adding something like rock dust or azomite would help full in the nutrient gaps.
I can't find the sprouting broccoli on the Botanical Interest website. What am I missing Jacques?
Currently we don't have a straight up broccolini style variety but Di Cicco is very close, it produces one head and then after that it will crank out TONS of side shoots which are just like broccolini www.botanicalinterests.com/products/di-cicco-broccoli-seeds
Hello, so if I plant too late and there's not enough sun, plants will die and won't regrow in spring? Would I have to redo by overwinter new seeds in trays then transplant in spring?
They won't die! They will just grow super super slow and basically enter stasis. So there is nothing bad about it just that you won't et a harvest until late winter or early spring!
How many people does your garden typically feed seasonally?
Our household is 4-6 people throughout the year depending on where family is. Anything extra goes to our parents, if they are lucky!
Siskiyou Seeds is in Oregon.
Ahh that is right!
Okay. One last time, I will attempt to grow brussels sprouts!
There is always one more last time hahaha
*sob*not you too?! I was holding out hope that only Kevin didn't like them, haha bc I love nasturtiums; yumm so peppery - i even had some pickled nasturtium seeds this morning with my gluten free bagel and halloumi
I won't not eat them if served them but I will never seek them out or add them haha. I still) have to try the nasturtium seed pickles!
I don't think they're great but I do eat them regularly fresh from the garden. I've even had cookies that A gal made for a wedding made from the nasturtiums in my garden. They were good and the peppery flavor was minimal.
ooh in a cookie - that sounds both pretty and delightful! @@brianmoore4299
Do you happen to know if all calendulas are edible or only certain varieties? Also are only the flowers edible or the leaves as well? Just curious. I have lots of mystery calendulas growing in my garden that self seed every year, but I’m scared to eat them since I don’t remember what variety they are! Very easy to grow at least in my yard. Once they start they come back all the time and tend to spread around.
I believe all varieties of Calendula are edible; however, some are most often used to make salves and other skincare items. Usually those are the sticker varieties as they have a higher content of the medicinal properties.
Awesome!! Thank you so much!!
Just like someone else said, they should all be edible but some will be more "potent" than others making them more ideal for producing things like salves.
@@jacquesinthegarden wonderful! Thank you so much!! I’d never live it down if I inadvertently poisoned ourselves by eating the wrong kind 😂😂😂
Hi, what size cells did you use? Thank you.
I use 6-cells for the smaller seeds and 4-cells for things like squash seed or larger seeds.
@@jacquesinthegarden thank you for your response 😊
Elegante....
Why don't you still get anything from Baker Creek?
Genial
Bueno
🥰
Jacques thank you for your videos brotha teaching me a bunch🙏🏽 bro u gotta try growing weed it’s real pretty I’ll send u seeds if u want. And even tho u guest on epic garden, we all know u the pro. Keep it pushin G 🦍
Thanks man, appreciate it! I need to find more space for those beautiful plants in the future!
Why don’t you grow baker creek seeds anymore? (Besides the Bulgarian giant leek)
I had a lot of spotty germination and also have been dissuaded by some of their alleged seed collecting practices (ie. collecting without permission).
@@jacquesinthegarden thank you for the response, now that you’ve mentioned it, my germination with their seeds hasn’t been great.
Where do u get this extra long labels from
I got them on Amazon! www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00UT3A3AA/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I agree 100%. Nasturtiums are gross lol
Natural
The El Nino winter is coming...
Should really figure out my rain tank situation..
It's weird that you said "beet transplants really well" while Botanical Interest website does not recommend to sow inside because they say beet do not like root disturbance.
It is one of those things that historically people have avoided but after seeing many farmers preach transplanting them I tried and have had great success doing so!
Organico
Omg -- franchi seeds -- Italian seeds -- they have spigariello
Oooh, nice, I need to find some more Italian seed sources!
