New Pots for Citrus and Berries + Summer Garden Update!

[@kirstinmckeown3581]

I love these casual-style vlog, and am happy to keep rewatching them :) With what you're saying at the end? As much as I love a new video coming out on homestead, I'd much rather you take the time that you need to take care of yourself, too. Can't pour from an empty cup and all that. Peace to you!

[@epichomesteading]

Appreciate it!

The initial comment was giving their perception of the video, and I gave mine. At no point was anyone trying to tell anyone how to live or enjoy their lives, man are people sensitive these days.... To all that are butt hurt , I am sorry 🙄

I appreciated that sit-down talk at the end & felt it - sometimes you start to feel the load of everything. Keep on keeping on Kevin, we appreciate you and everything you’ve shared with us 🌱💫 BTW, I dont envy your skunk issue (coming from someone with a serious deer dilemma).

There's a Korean side dish that uses those garlic scapes and it's delicious. Super easy to make. I think it's just called Korean stir-fried garlic scape/stem

[@epichomesteading]

Looking up!

Braised scapes are delish!

Love the different tone of videos here on the homesteading channel! Subscribing to both channels gives me the best of both worlds

[@The_True_]

I hear Yukon Gold, and my mouth waters! Big thanks Kevin, since your channel along with Mark from Self Sufficient Me and James Perggionni have now caused my front yard to become a garden. It's a bit of a struggle starting no dig on the ultra cheap, following Charles Dowding's methods, but seeing the plants this season is super exiting and neighbors have been awesome in how we share with one another. Keep on growing, much success to you!

[@shamancarmichael5305]

You get a pot, you get a pot, everyone gets pots! So satisfying to see the Epic Homestead grow!

[@RJRJRJ26]

This is why I have huge respect for Kevin. He follows through and the way he explains is very easy to understand even complicated things

[@epichomesteading]

😭💯

[@jebllw]

As someone new to gardening (looking for a hobby...adulting is hard), you make the learning process so easy and gave me a little confidence to try a few houseplants and a very modest herb garden. My dream is to one day jump into citrus trees! Thanks for being wholesome content, and inspiring your community with positivity!

[@sparkasaurusdonna]

loved the garden tour shots at the end. And so nice to see things growing and thriving. I planted marigolds here in Texas as filler plants just to make my beds looks a little nicer. They have grown enormous and are putting on so many flowers. So happy I learned--from you--the idea of grouping plants together that have the same light/water needs.

[@klcpca]

Your garden has come such a long way!!! Beautiful!! As much as we love watching you... YOU and YOUR needs must come first ... we all have times when things spin a bit out of control... if you need to take time to settle, take it.... we'll still be here....

[@mimirose4012]

Your outlook doesn't show stress. You actually seem to be at peace.

[@pancakeday4866]

My husband grew up with a loquat. I was just able to get him one and my teenage son planted it. I have been paying him to plant my bushes and trees. I’m excited because he’s actually learning how to plant things and use fertilizer and proper watering. He wasn’t interested in planting, just earning the money. I’m hoping this will pay off in the future if he ever develops a desire to garden.

[@crranck]

Mr Kevin, we love you and what you do. You have a lot going on. You’ve taught and inspired us so much. Take some time for yourself. You can’t take off others if you don’t take care of yourself first.

[@butterlite100]

Costco has nice pots, and nice new fence!! Can’t wait to hear all about that! I think it’s okay to share your behind the scenes with us, we want to know and see! This community adores you. We are here for you, too! Wish we could help with the stress

[@epichomesteading]

[@drheidi2010]

Look at how much you have accomplished in such a short time! No wonder you're stressed, that's A LOT of work! I dont think any of us would begrudge you some time off. You deserve it!

I'll try!

[@laural8875]

You've done such an amazing job transforming the yard into a real garden!! It's a process & only gets better with time! Don't forget to stop & enjoy your garden when you are feeling stressed over the business end of things ... the garden is my happy place :o) I bless you Kevin! Laura -

[@vee5032]

Wow you really adding so many varieties of plants, trees, bushes, veggies fruits what a dream of place, is gonna be amazing 💚

I'm sorry you're stressed. I hope all the behind the scenes stuff resolves quickly and you have a relaxing weekend! The garden is looking epic!

[@Dog_gone_it]

this yard has changed so much in 1 year

[@nerdaccount]

We've had a super late spring. It was snowing last weekend. Still a little chilly at night, but I think I'm going to have to trust that I will get some good crops yet this year! You are an inspiration!

[@elektra121]

In Germany, too. It was the coldest April in living memory. Unreal to see Kevin's thriving garden when everything only starts to grow here. :O

I have a small garlic patch (maybe 20 bulbs) I planted about 3-4 years ago. Each year they produce scapes. We only harvest the scapes and leave the bulbs in yhr ground. They're really nice to eat and its a great early summer treat each year.

[@Kalannzz]

This is the type of stuff I hope to accomplish when I have my own property 👏🏽 I can only dream of having a garden this nice!

Looks fantastic Kevin! And Loquats... one summer my boyfriend and I harvested a five gal. bucket full and started prepping them in front of the TV binge watching "Breaking Bad" OMG our hands were dark brown (should have worn gloves...) but we had loquats in the freezer, dehydrated, made in to bars, breads, cookies, jams... and of course ate fresh... it was loquat heaven... our friends asked... what is a loquat... WHAT???

I wish you could see our garden that you inspired - we live in the Blue Ridge Mountains in a house that has a second story deck on three sides. I started following you months ago and we now have an endless container garden that is full of future food. We love you - keep doing what you’re doing. Grateful.

I highly recommend making garlic scape pesto. I make it every spring. It freezes beautifully. Love the channel. Thank you!

[@epichomesteading]

Sounds great!

[@nite_driver_7895]

Garlic scapes makes a bomb pesto. Hot water blanch, cool, blend/emulsify with parmesan, oil, salt, red pepper flake, and any kind of nut or seed.

[@Aspoooonful]

Can't wait for the garlic pulls

[@rebelpepper7397]

[@jackietoth7109]

Wow! Slowly catching up with your post, ❤️learning and seeing you guys hard work blossom. I have to hunt down that fruit. I was lucky to have grown up in the tropical and tasted so many fruit that some names I can’t remember but remember eating them and happy to see some in the US.

[@rosemariebianchi9852]

Finger lime, what a great choice you have of citrus. I have tasted them at a friend's place and they will be the next on my list and hope to get a few different colours. We are so lucky to have these in Australia and what a fantastic citrus. Good luck and hope it grows super well for you

[@garretthathaway3552]

Kevinnn. You have the best gardening channel on KZbin. Always look forward to your vids!

[@epichomesteading]

Wow, thanks!

[@jessicamiller7539]

Nice to see you growing Aussie fingerlimes. They do well with regular fertilising, but in much smaller quantities than you would normally give other citrus varieties. Our Australian native plants don't like too much heavy fertiliser, in particular too much phosophorus can be deadly for many of our native species. Good luck with the fingerlime!

[@Carmencuriel74]

Happened to pick up some pots at Grocery Outlet in San Diego!

[@twobluestripes]

They frequently have some excellent prices on glazed terracotta, I have noticed!

[@epichomesteading]

Nice find!

[@evansflockfamily2001]

Super envious of you right now!! We are just heading into winter here in AUS, some advice on your finger lime, make sure it gets some shade. They typically don't like full blaring sun as they are semi understory plants. For anyone looking to purchase them, best to get grafted varieties as if grown by seed they can take years to fruit!

[@midei]

It makes me happy to see how much you are achieving.

[@jgrady9553]

Great vid! I think you'll like the garlic scapes- try them blended with some pea shoots, walnuts, sea salt and best olive oil for an amazing pesto over orechiette or bowtie pasta, or braised w mushrooms, or with soba noodles...so many possibilities. New fence looks great & will give you some privacy after the stressful days! Like these Epic Homestead vids- thanks for this new one- the Homestead is looking wonderful!

[@meghanberg2026]

We are thankful for you too!

[@lisakukla459]

You won't be disappointed with the Adirondack Blue. The color is incredible, and it has a great flavor and texture. I expected it would just be kind of a novelty, but turns out it was my best storage crop to date. And it is super fun to use for mashed potatoes.
