We have 14 varieties of garlic - hardneck and softneck - available while supplies last! Starts shipping Oct 4th: growepic.co/3LCQLDp

[@jennifersiegrist8440]

Just bought some, so excited ❤️❤️❤️

[@epicgardening]

Appreciate you! Good luck growing it @@jennifersiegrist8440

[@ChicagoFigs]

I am in Zone 5.can I grow garlic in container?

[@jennifersiegrist8440]

You can try, be sure the container is big enough with a lot of soil, hard neck varieties would do better I think. Better in colder climates.

[@ChicagoFigs]

@@jennifersiegrist8440 cool. Thank you

[@EdimentalGardens]

I’m in zone 7, so we plant our garlic around Halloween. To keep the vampires away! 👻

[@epicgardening]

Sensible!

[@user-pe7dr2wb6p]

I'm in zone 7 as well. Where do you get your's

[@meggrowsplants]

I also plant mine on Halloween (:

[@mariagamboa6249]

What companion flowers are good for snow Pea Wando. I’m living in Albuquerque. Thank you 💚

[@CedarMountain925]

I’m in zone 9b and same! It’s a fun task to do on Halloween! 👻

Angela's methods for growing in Arizona work great in Southern Nevada

[@jennhoff03]

You got Angela???!?!?!?!! Oh this channel just gets better and better!

[@rockyusa2012]

Welcome Angela 🎉

[@Chet_Thornbushel]

1:18 In Washington we pronounce it in-cha-lay-um. It’s an indigenous word that the tribes use here and we actually have a town by the same name. The native colville tribe in the Inchelium region is where the garlic originally came from and if I remember correctly it is the oldest garlic cultivar in North America! Pretty rad!

[@epicgardening]

Appreciate the heads up! - Kevin

[@dmesmith]

Love this, thank you

[@GrowingInTheGarden]

Hey Kevin - Thanks for having me. We are just getting our gardening on (finally!) after a long, hot summer. So many things to plant!

Great to have you, Angela! Loved your tips :) - Kevin

Welcome Angela from "Growing in the Garden" I too grow in zone 9 and find your content invaluable from your beautiful garden. Growing garlic, beets and marigolds this Fall 🍁

[@HayleyMarie72]

I had no idea that Vancouver would be zone 8, that's pretty warm 😯

[@VinceArlia]

@epicgardening & @growinginthegarden have joined forces? Awesome!

[@epicgardening]

Maybe more to come!

[@vitalindulge]

I know right? I ran to the comments to say the same thing.

[@vandthebees9249]

So excited you’re including Angela!! Growing in the hot desert is such a challenge and her garden is amazing!

[@epicgardening]

It really is!

[@caseonfire]

Angela has a great channel

As have we! - Kevin

[@traceediaz7201]

Love Angela! She is a fantastic addition!

[@suepowlesland8541]

Just harvested a Napa cabbage that, for the first time, looks exactly like the seed packet photo😅. Failed for many years until I only did a fall sowing in our Zone 6 southern BC garden. Congratulations on your cabbage success Kevin!

[@epicgardening]

Congrats! That's a big accomplishment - Kevin

[@vitalindulge]

So excited to see Kevin and Angela in the same video!! I have been waiting for this collab forever!!!🎉🎉

[@epicgardening]

Us too!

It's so good to see Chris back, love her content!

[@faithl4105]

YAY!🥰Thanks for having Angela!🎉 In AZ, zone 9b, we absolutely get the best tips from her, for gardening success, despite the extreme temps & difficult growing conditions here. Her garden is inspiring & her teaching excellent! 👌🏻😄

[@arielledelisle8922]

I love that so many people are excited about Angela's collab in the comments! I'm in Phoenix and she's such a knowledgeable resource! Epic Gardening and Growing In the Garden are my faves. ❤

[@faithl4105]

@arielledelisle8922 YAY! Those two channels are my faves, too! We're about a 30-minute drive from Angela's Mesa, AZ area, same zone. So her tips are great for us. What to plant each month..? I always get relevant info from her. Thanks for the positive comment. Happy gardening! 😃🌻

[@kendratai]

Yay, I love Angela! She is the closest online to my growing zone!

[@amandarodriguez997]

Chris! Haven't seen her in so long, glad she's back. And Angela?? I just started following her like 2-3 weeks ago, so cool! You guys are the bomb. Working hard over there and kicking butt! Can't wait to buy epic stuff and support you guys☺️

[@ChristineLGolden]

So glad to see Angela on your team!

[@rogaineablar5608]

Don't forget that beet leaves are edible and are the same species as swiss chard. In addition to head cabbage, leaf cabbage, like bok choi, is great for people who live alone and want to do a harvest as you need it style of growing.

[@LearnCreateLove]

I love sautéing the beet leaves. Yum

[@epicgardening]

Beet leaves are even better than beets, sometimes!

[@somejerkbag]

I love how you incorporate multiple climate zones in these videos. Makes me confident in the info. Especially since I'm in the warmest zone of BC; it's a bit of a cross consideration but it's covered in the same vid. Fantastic 😊

[@epicgardening]

Glad to hear this! - Kevin

[@snorinsonoran]

Angela the GOAT!

[@danieladeutsch1708]

Yeaaay, Chris is back! Love you, madame! XX

[@zacgoad1507]

Zone 7b here, planting my garlic next week with plenty of rabbit poop to help those greedy bulbs get what they need. I occasionally water with a compost/fish emulsion, really helps. Thanks again for the great video.

[@epicgardening]

Fish emulsion has worked well for us as well!

[@kimber-leighdomiano901]

Zone 6 for me, starting garlic Oct 27.

[@jdluvr81]

I absolutely love these monthly grow guides! And the additional bad ass women!

Zone 9 - Tampa. I have softneck garlic in the fridge for the last two weeks. Going to plant in December after it has been chilled over two months.

Why do you think our garden always looks so good?!

[@baddriversofcolga]

@@epicgardening Everything suddenly makes sense. 😝

[@SeedToPlate]

And to all the drought gardeners who are (not so) patiently waiting for fall rains, don't forget to soak and mix your soil before you direct sow. The soil is hydrophobic at this stage :) So much abundance to be had before 2024!!

[@LoraCreates]

I LOVE this collaboration! This is so much great information and helpful to far more gardeners. Angela is in my area and seeing her on this video is heartwarming. GREAT work!!

[@Amazingdark30]

Damn, you're in October? I'm still stuck in September O.o

Get on our level ;)

Was gonna say this 😅

[@1Lightdancer]

I love month by month planting overviews - and tips from the different zones! Our Edible Landscaping group (Oregon, 8b) just hosted our fall Harvest share event - with lots of produce from Farmers market donations and older seed donated to the HS from a local nursery (Botanical Interest 😊) We have 28 boxes (4' x4' wooden wine grape 'totes ') planted along several blocks with veggies, flowers, and fruit! I tend a Tea Garden, with a tea camellia and herbs 🌿 🍃 I (of course!) Came home with a basket of produce and handful of seed packets!

[@rinarose9544]

YAY! I'm so glad Chris is back! :D I love seeing Meg on here too! I sowed some red russian kale and some danvers 126 carrots in some old pepper & overgrown/harvested lettuce spots in my garden. Here's hoping for some good stew veggies!

[@MrTK-ny4xc]

I came across your seeds a few years ago, a local organic company in kuwait 🇰🇼 supplies them. I love the amount of variety I can purchase. Still use them today. Great brand of seeds.

[@thatgirlkrash]

Yay! Angela! We love her ❤ I'm hoping this is my garlic year. I have 4 different varieties in the "ground" so far 🤞

Wow it’s October and my garden is still growing watermelon. Our weather is so crazy here.😂

[@erikahuxley]

Zone 6a. Last frost date here is early May, and first frost is late October, but with vigilance I think I can make it possible to grow year round. Outside there are seedlings for swiss chard, ethiopian kale, perpetual spinach, snap peas, and lettuce which are beginning to take off. Will have a couple low tunnel hoops to keep some of them alive into the winter. Also just germinated microdwarf tomatoes and jalapeno pepper, they will grow indoor under LED light.

[@randyo6019]

Wow !! What a treat from the All Star team. I’m in 8A in Georgia, so it’s nice to see all the different zones. I’m planting cilantro, bok choy, golden beats, Napa cabbage and radishes for the first time. Great tips as always.

[@Nikki-mx5my]

Welcome back, Chris! Great collab video.

[@megg.1687]

I’m actually growing the corn salad and golden beets. I started seeds indoors a week ago and all my seedlings have sprouted. So excited!

[@SheppyZed]

Such an amazing video collaboration. Thanks a bunch!

[@saramunnelly211]

In most parts of Australian we categorise cold loving things like brassicas and peas as winter season crops. It's so interesting that you've decided to do this just now! It makes sense to think though when many of your states have much cooler winters and milder spring.
