Huge Nursery Haul to Plant Fall Beds!

[@lvurbanfarming9001]

Bought a house in vegas last year. People looked at me like im insane when i told them I want to have a food forest in the middle of vegas. No HOA. 1 year later I have 40 fruit trees. Veggies/healthy soil a she shed converted into a living room. Close to 150 different species of flowering bush/herbs and spices. And chickens. Love this video

[@christinacooper8731]

The worst hit to the pocketbook is not only going to the nursery, but going with someone who is an enabler!! HAHAHAHA #Liveyourbestgardenlife

[@MrEzekiel1982]

Kevin and Jaques you guys have no idea how enjoyable this one was as a plant nerd

[@cher-amirose7109]

Yes, since you asked, a plant based diet is the way to go. Thank you for all the wonderful videos. I live in an apartment in Utah. So you've inspired me to grow microgreens on a much larger scale. L.E.D. lights arrived yesterday. Soil and more seeds tomorrow. Shelves, azomite, worms by next week. Yay!

[@matthysloedolff]

Great video, Kevin! I laughed at the part where you roast the carrots at the nursery 😂 I literally have the exact same thoughts when I visit my local nursery and see carrot seedlings for sale like that.

[@rockyusa2012]

82 degrees...enjoy that warm weather.

[@MMuraseofSandvich]

Cauliflower+leeks= Amazing soup when pureed.

[@kkeenan536]

Yipee…chickens !!! So many fun breeds now too. When I had chicks, the choices were pretty much limited to Rhode Island Reds and Barred Rocks. Will be fun to hear all the cute “ chicken noises” while you garden. DE is great for them to take their dust baths in to prevent mites btw

[@thenerdymillennial]

Would it be possible to do a video where you show us how to collect seeds from flowers and from plants like chives and other herbs

[@ladybugnz45]

For mizuna, I bought the seedlings once and let them go to seed, and now I have mizuna seeds for a lifetime! Also growing in different parts of the garden - voluntary plants.

[@Neenerella333]

I had that with arugula, when I lived in Arizona. I went on a trip at the end of their lives,and they went to seed. They even spread to the bed of my truck and sprouted from rain!

[@Donna_G]

It would be quite an epic move for me to go to a place where I could even consider planting outdoors in November. I can't wait to see the finished chicken habitat. Do you know what kind of chickens you want to get?

[@epichomesteading]

Still thinking about it!

[@thomasa5619]

Lol I can barely plant in November either It’s nearly summer here, strawberries with half a day of sun need watering every two days

[@danieldow3094]

Great video bud, growing tons of good stuff but still struggling with diet control definitely resonates with me, and I'm sure a lot of us. Appreciate you touching on that!

[@growingandcooking7278]

Kevin, did you know you can grow peppercorn plants as vining house plants. AND they fruit year-round? I’d love to see a video on it. :)

[@buckeyethor]

It was a gamble LOL

[@MStrickkk]

I just can't get over your property. It's absolutely perfect, I hope to replicate it one day.

[@coryarussell5510]

Make sure you check your local ordinances about chickens. There is probably a rule about minimum distance from the property line. Make sure you don't put the coop to close to the fence. Excited to see the coop!

[@helenmcclellan452]

For beginer gardeners, like me, it is good to see your nethod of planting leeks. It was simple to understand and follow. I look forward to planting my first leeks next year in zone 7. Although a vegan, I am looking forward to seeing the chicken coop and your vision come to life. Thank you for sharing. I enjoyed "shopping" along with you two. I can't wait for next year's potatoes.

[@epichomesteading]

Appreciate you Helen!

[@Toodle.Pipp001]

With aged chicken poop mixed in, your going to get some seriously epic compost! Enjoy your SoCal winter, it's better than our summer 😆

[@ronk4073]

I've been putting some mizuna in small quantities in a simple mixed salad of various greens, to add variety of color, shapes, and flavor. The salad is mostly lettuce as the base. Ruby red leaf and red salad bowl lettuce has done well for me this fall. Then a little bit of each: red streaks mizuna, Tokyo bekana, arugula. And a fair bit of tatsoi, I like how sweet tatsoi is. Then I throw in a small cut up tomato and give it a basic Italian dressing. Sometimes I add a few dashes of home made orange habanero sauce to the dressing, and that's works surprisingly well. I stopped adding frisee endive to my salad as it's just too bitter for me. Though the endive was nice as a braised green. Started with onions sauteed in olive oil and butter, added water, vinegar, sugar, hot sauce and the frisee endive. Cooked it down until the endive was tender. But that's my go to for basically all greens. Beet greens, turnip greens, radish greens, swiss chard, etc.

[@eseelert]

I'm glad you mentioned that mizuna is great in salads. It's SO good raw and is literally the only way I eat it. One of the faves for fall/winter. Epic leek haul. I'm in Cardiff but def making my way to Walter Andersen bc I'm LATE on starting seeds this year and need to pick up some of those. 😬 LMK if you need a solid rec for getting super healthy pullets. So excited for you...chickie-doodles are literally the best thing ever. So fun.

Since I live here in SD I like to see where you head to buy stuff. I go to that store (WA) all the time and always have my eyes peeled for you 😅.

[@mariannerapp411]

I could watch videos of folks plant shopping all day long!

[@epichomesteading]

;)

[@sebs751]

I need a nursery like that in my life

[@flowerpixel]

I'd love to see simple mizuna or any harvest recipes. I like to garden but don't really know how to cook

[@TobyRobb]

Always enjoy a planting video, I also see you've got a lot of future projects coming. Great! Take your time, gonna love watching them!

[@Ston3dNinja13]

You separating the leaks reminded me of my orange seed. I got a naval orange seed to pop. And when it did it put out 3 main shoots. Once it was a bit larger I was able to sperate all 3 from each other and now I have 3 trees from one seed. I let you know in a couple years if the fruit is good or not.

[@epichomesteading]

Good luck!

[@selinanguyentv5125]

Khu vườn thích quá ak.😍

[@Eric-fl1kh]

Ah, so jealous! And I can't wait for the chickens!

[@joshuamc96]

Once you get the coop up, you should put some dandelions or other deep rooted plants in there along with clover and a variety of grasses. That way there's a solid crop of plant material full of protein, minerals, phyto-nutrients, etc that make chickens happy. Some grasses that would be good would be alfalfa, oat, fescue, flax. There are also premade blends you can purchase that has all this stuff for generalized locations. I'd personally throw in some beet seeds as well. Healthy snack they have to work for It's essentially what I do for feed plots for deer and turkeys, high protein forage that contains lots of omega fatty acids and minerals for the healthiest food for the animals. Should make the eggs from your layers super healthy and decrease the risk of common nutrition-based health issues in the chickens.

[@amandalucas79]

It blows my mind that you're planting in the ground in mid-November! I've just finished prepping my garden for next season, we won't see any garden products like seedlings or seed potatoes until at least April 2022. I would love to have bulk seed potatoes like that, we just get pre-bagged seed potatoes, and only a couple of varieties are available each year. So jealous :) For reference, I live in zone 3.

[@epichomesteading]

Hoping it warms up soonish!

[@marieknight9385]

Can't wait to see the new chicken coop, looks good so far, I currently need some winter mulch and cold loving flowers for the pollinators still hanging in there, it's getting down to freezing temperatures where I'm living, I'm overwintering some of my flowers and bushes from last summer

Those will be some really happy chickens!

[@christythompson6692]

Our local garden center takes the plastic 6 cell or larger planting pots back to reuse them. You might see if your local nursery will let you return the empties.

[@epichomesteading]

For sure!

[@bridgetmccoy5725]

I too am looking for healthy meals. I was having my food delivered because I just dont seem to care about cooking. I'm going to try Epic Homesteading for inspiration. Thanks for the videos! Love your website.

[@drewsenthused6079]

Excited for the scoop on the coop!

[@pascalxus]

Hi Kevin! I grow a crap ton of Mizuna, usually direct sowing them all over the place. It's a great thing to grow in my area because birds and other animals eat just about everything else. But, not the mizuna! the mizuna has free reign to grow in my backyard. I'm currently sitting on about 20 lbs of mizuna or more. Usually, I make a monster salad in my biggest party bowl that I fill with mizuna, tomatoes, and dried fruits. other times i just juice it.

[@slavicadimcevski9585]

Love the excitement around your potato find 😄

[@la1163]

Oh no baby boy, protect your knees! You guys are lucky you can still find potatoes , I'm here in Texas and we have to preorder ours and we don't received them till next year in February . Happy gardening to you and Jaques

[@homelife8597]

Oh my. That nursery looks awesome. I wish there was one like that with all of those potato varieties around here. I’d be that kid in the candy shop.

[@cathycrowder2226]

Because I was told carrots won't transplant I bought some in a 6 pack. I transplanted them and they did fine.

[@GrowingOrganicTvShow]

Nice episode. I saw you at Walter Andersons and said hi. I had to do a double take when I saw you guys. Great nursery. I like the black garden beds you got going.

[@epichomesteading]

Hey good to see you in the comments!!

While he plants his starts while wearing flip flops, I'm pulling out my frost-killed snow peas while wearing gloves to dust off the dusting of snow we received last night. California dreamin for sure

[@fatmadonmez2262]

Mizuna is a great salad green for us because it is super easy to grow with direct seed and transplant. We eat it mostly int he salad, but I will try to make Boreks with them. The Chard ; make dolmas with them, strongly suggest it.

[@reshabriella]

Great video as always. You never fail to give 100% in your episodes and we appreciate that. I am going to give potatoes a try soon so will be watching your potato videos several times. Can't wait to see your feather babies!

Good luck on your taties!

Hey Kevin great video. I bought some leek seeds to start but i wanted to thank you for this vid. Awesome info about separating those bought at store

Thanks for all the tips when purchasing starts, great way to maximize your harvest. Looking forward to the finished chicken coop, you will be like a new “daddy” and Jaqués will be the “uncle” to the Epic Chickens 🐓 🐣🐥🐓 Just imagine all the fresh eggs you will have, awesome 🥚🥚👏🏼 Will be be having some plants around the coop?

[@epichomesteading]

Yup I'll create a little ecosystem next to the coop!

[@carolwyban3947]

Perhaps you could invite friends and cooks over to cook a potluck dinner using your veg. When others cook, you taste a diversity of new things.

[@nicholasdemarest4254]

You need a dibble tool in your garden much easier for leaks.

[@ettenadra]

Thanks for bringing us plant shopping with you! Felt like hanging out. Also I would get more potatoes but “Who’s counting?!?” - Jacques, 2021

[@MMuraseofSandvich]

And I want to hit up this nursery on the weekend.
