Kevin, whoever came up with the idea of you visiting fellow gardeners' gardens- give them a raise and a bushel of greens because hot damn, I cannot get enough of these Garden Tours!
I am going to do an indoor grow for food in Canada , just got my seeds and watering system and the reason I don't plan on showing a tour is because our communist wannabe govt will prob censor it. The probability of food being affordable has officially dwindled up here. A salad now costs about 18 dollars so yeah, not putting up with it.
It's a very nice garden but there's no way that she's producing 80% of her food for a family of 5.They'll need 5 times more of what she's producing now and it would still not be enough. Its' very good for education but don't believe every gardening channel everything that they say. I'm not hating just being realistic...
@@m1sh474 Yes I get that,but unless they eat vegetables only once a week it's impossible to be 80%. Or if it's 80% but only for a month or two.There is just not enough vegetables in her garden to sustain them throughout the year. And I'm talking from personal experience.
@@gipsasl Correct, 80% with that space is not happening. 80% for one person maybe. People never seem to know just how little food a garden actually produces when it comes to self sufficient growing
I love Kris's garden. It has just the right amount of whimsy, color and randomness to satisfy my eye. It's like it asking passerby to come in and explore. So welcoming.
Her yard looks fantastic! She’s really using the space she has! And you’re right! It looks like it’s all been there forever! Not just a couple of years
So awesome to see people getting back to gardening. Its so healthy. This was the family thing to do back in the 70’s and earlier to help stretch the budget. I only wish our parents would have engaged us kids a bit more in the process in my family. Both families had substantial sized gardens that produced a ton of foods. Fresh Produce is so expensive to buy, especially now. This is the way to go and there are so many varieties.
I enjoyed the tour, so colorful and creative, very pretty garden. I'm working food into my landscape also. Your girls are adorable & so well behaved Kris. Did someone mention bloody Mary deviled eggs recipe??? LOL
Hi Kris, just a heads up on the roots of artichokes. You mentioned you heard you could est them. I think you'll find that that will be Jerusalem Artichokes not the standard artichokes. Jerusalem Artichokes grow more like a tall stemmed daisy flower plant and yes they are delicious look similar to a small skinny potato. Kris 😊 PS: love your colours in the garden mixed with edibles 👍
By chance would she share her sourdough recipe? Looked amazing. Boy howdy her gardens look spectacular and so nice being only started a couple of years ago
Same on the law in my town! I’m “illegally” keeping quail and rabbits. I have “unofficial”permission from the council but if I get a complaint I will have to get rid of them. Quail are an amazing option if you can have them, they are frequently forgotten in a lot of law making so it’s a work around. Quiet, don’t take much space.
This is such a great Mother's Day video. It is such another great indication of the love that mums have for their families, that they want to give them the most nutritious food. Happy Mother's Day Kris from Down Under.
Awesome to showcase your employees gardens and hard work! Shows you have real respect for your team and shows the audience and customers that at the end of the day we all like to get out in the garden and enjoy nature! Great video!
It was lovely to visit Kris's garden today 🌿 Kris has helped me previously with customer service questions- always a pleasant experience. I loved the whole garden, but especially your custom plaque 👌 Thanks for sharing!
Thank you guys for the garden tour. Being able to provide 80% of your food from your home is great and encouraging. How about that sour dough bread! Can you share how you prepare and make the sour dough bread?
pretty garden--I'm in a new house in a new climate. A year ago, I lined the fence and house on the sunny sides with dwarf fruit trees espaliered or pruned according to Ann Ralphs' method. I have perennial and self-reseeding flowers, greens, strawberries, potatoes, tomatoes, asparagus, garlic, onions, and herbs under and around all the trees. Although my yard is dinky beyond word, I managed to get in 160 square feet of garden beds this year. I planted a sorta 3 sisters...well, more like 7 sisters with corn, pole lima beans, pole French fillet beans, squash, bee balm, sunflowers, and melons. While these are growing taller, radishes, beets, lettuce, spinach, cilantro, and bok choy will occupy the empty space. I have some stealth mini peaches in the front and pretty stuff like strawberry spinach, strawberries, mini raspberries, herbs, orach, and lots more flowers, so the militant HOA can't scream about it. I just love gardening.
My neighbor here in Camarillo gave me a big bag of leaves from her purple tree collard. It produces the year round, and it is in the collard greens, broccoli, and kale family. She has 2 large trees, so plenty of veggies to share! The little leaves can be put in a salad raw, and the larger leaves are good cooked and added to soup or noodles. The whole leaf is used, no need to strip it off the middle part, and they are quite tender.
Wow! I didn't realize you could grow so many different types of plants. Thank you for giving me a visual - helps me figure out how to do my own. I have a much smaller place, but I now realize a lot can be done with it!
Passion fruit makes an AMAZINGGGGGG vinegarette! Look up lilikoi dressing recipes! ( lilokoi is hawaiian for passion fruit) I miss hawaii sooooo bad!!!
Omg I’ve been watching this channel for so long and I never realized that they’re from San Diego, I’m born and raised in San Diego ☺️ still live here too
All I have to say is I'm beautifully overwhelmed and Incredibly inspired I'm one of those people who does not believe in coincidence I believe I was purposely meant to see your video today by Uma I called God because I'm at times searching other videos and while I'm inspired and encouraged I still find things to be difficult because I'm just getting started but seeing what you guys accomplished in about 2 years is mind-blowing and I'm up off my but today not only to tend to what is going good but to infuse my garden with more love and more effort and I want to say a big thank you because your video touched me and definitely is giving me information to keep going forward and to do better
I literally just forced my mom to watch this as she has the perfect blank canvas to get something like this done. I love food and flowers- lawns are a boomers’ game. Also, the chickens are 😍😍😍
Beautiful garden. With the passion fruit you can put the pulp in a blender with a tiny bit of water, very gently give a couple mixes, use a strainer and put it on ice cube trays in the freezer. We used to do that and had fresh juice all year.
Very Cool, one thing Epic G has taught me from viewing, use the space to make the garden not the other way around..it always seems to work out better if Ppl utilize the space and cater what they grow around it, rather than try to grow what they want in a space not fit for what they are growing..*shrugs*.. *smiles*…Luv How Her Garden gave a feeling of well lived in & obviously Loved…Looking forward to more garden visits
I get not wanting to use the word accident, we said "unexpected but so welcome" and I love the honesty! A lot of the feelings you discussed make me think about a friend who had a 4 year old, a 5 month old and then she got pregnant with twins. I don't think there is anything wrong with being a bit upset and overwhelmed. Love you guys!
I love gardening, being out in God's creation and doing what God has called us all to do. To work the land and with God's help produce food. Thank you Lord and to you be all the glory. Thank you guys for gardening tips.
I love this! Very impressive! We have 3 acres but sadly we have little success with gardening because the majority of our property is trees. We did cut down about three White Oaks in order to get more sun on our garden, but the neighbors trees are so tall that it still only allows sun for about 3 to 4 hours a day so I gave up, and farmers markets it is. 😕 The little bit that I do grow, I put in pots and chase the sun around all day! 😏
Beautiful! You grow Chris! Never seen Tom thumb sweet peas before but like the mini Tom thumb tomatoes. You have inspired me with the wood chips and cattle panels again. The string trellis does work well for tomatoes...I like that easy hoop coup!
I am just imaging what Kris could do with an acre of land. This is so impressive and makes me question my excuse for not having chickens "I don't have the space". Great work guys. Love these videos.
I’m fairly sure the globe artichoke does not have an edible tuber. The unopened flower is the edible part. A Jerusalem artichoke (sun choke) has the edible tubers. 😌👍🏼
Such a talented individual. That garden is amazing! I have seen her work before and she is excellent at her trade! I also have seen reviews of her work and they all have been extremely positive.
Good news: Tomatoes are self pollinating. 3 things I LOVE have 100% of the time in a partially shady, semi-moist location, is parsley, basil, and cilantro...I can't keep them all all year, but I try (I hate it when I have to buy it at the store). Also I have rain barrels that can be used with hoses to soak planting areas or fruit trees.
We just released her "Bloody Mary Deviled Eggs" recipe on Epic Homesteading: ua-cam.com/video/SB0iqYHTJWA/v-deo.html
G bill cap. 😊 bug v
Would love the sour dough bread recipe!

I'll give myself a raise :)
😂👏🏾👏🏾❤️
I love it when you tour other people's gardens! So cool to see everyone's growing space.

Kris is so inspiring. 5 eggs a day, 5 days a week and 80% produce holy moly.
It's a very nice garden but there's no way that she's producing 80% of her food for a family of 5.They'll need 5 times more of what she's producing now and it would still not be enough.

@@gipsasl 80% of produce it means 80% of different vegetables they don't have to buy.

And you’re right! It looks like it’s all been there forever!
Not just a couple of years
My son watches you during quiet time to wind down. He has taught his caregiver all about pollinators and trellises so apparently he's paying attention
Tell him hi for me!
Gardening is the BEST THERAPY!!🦋💕🦋
@@epicgardening definitely!
This. Is. Awesome.
Yay! Learning is fun when you have a great teacher!

Can’t believe she made this garden in 2 years, it’s beautiful! I just started my gardening journey so hopefully mine can compare someday 🌱
Looks amazing! We are pandemic gardeners too and now have meat chickens and rabbits . It's crazy how fast it can progress
Just looked at an email with customer service and it was indeed with Kris. She was great and extremely helpful. They've got a great team at Epic.
I enjoy meeting the other folks on your team and seeing what they’re growing and how they have things set up.
Gardening has become a family affair for us. It's a great way to bond and teach our children about the wonders of nature.

Great to hear!
So cool of your staff to share their gardens with the viewers. Thanks peeps!!!! 🌱😊🌻
I love the way Kris set this up, shows how easily doable this type of setup is in a suburban area. Gives me lots of inspiration!
Kris M blows my mind. I remember the yard prior to all her work and it is amazing to see all she has done! This company is so lucky to have her!
That was so awesome to watch and learn. Thanks Chris for letting us see around your garden. Well done
Holy cow what a beautiful garden!! And that food looks absolutely delicious. Thanks for sharing!
Wow, Kris is awesome 👌! I can't believe she's only been gardening for 2 years, what a natural 👏.
This is SO inspiring... but also intimidating!
What a beautiful garden! That's awesome how it's functional too! 🌱
It really is!
My goal,, have my yard look like yours. 😎😎
Beautiful gardens! One of my goals is to grow enough food to feed my family, so I appreciate this.
Okay so you know we're going to need the bloody Mary deviled egg recipe, right? Awesome garden, Kris!
I came here to say the exact same thing! You can't drop something like that and not provide a recipe!
Indeed! We need that info on Bloody Mary eggs! Such a cliff-hanger…..
I enjoyed the tour, so colorful and creative, very pretty garden. I'm working food into my landscape also. Your girls are adorable & so well behaved Kris. Did someone mention bloody Mary deviled eggs recipe??? LOL
that's the first thing i checked for in the comments... please share, that olive, that olive...
@@vickiblizzard1001 I will post on my IG or website later this month Follow Kris' garden: instagram.com/growalilgarden or www.growalilgarden.com

Chris's garden is absolutely stunning! Her chickens are beautiful too! 😍🙌🏻
Kris, your garden is a good combination of flowers n vegetables.. we plant bhut jalokia and ate lots, so glad you like it!
I’d love to start the Canadian version of Epic Gardening!!
Lovely garden! Passion fruits refreshment beverages at anytime, YUMMMMM.

Hi Kris! You are indeed Customer Experience Extraordinaire!! So great to see your lovely and productive garden!
👍👍
It is nice to put a face to the name! FYI Kris, I got my tree rings finally so you do not have to worry about me nagging you! Happy Mothers Day!
Love it!!
You did all of that in two years! Super inspiring!
I’m so in love with Chris’s garden so beautiful she has such a beautiful touch and I’m so happy she brought in the pollinators !!!!!
Great video! I enjoyed meeting another epic team member and viewing her garden.
What a lovely yard garden, cheers from northern Canada
I CAN'T GET ENOUGH of these videos!!! Because of these videos I have my eyes on a few of the gardening items you have showcased.
In the middle of doing the same myself in the UK after a 15 year break (kids trashed my plot) very inspirational thanks

Her garden is beautiful. Thank you for sharing it with us.
Wow beautiful job, you can see the love and intentionality in the space 😍
So true :)
I Love your garden. And your Chickens....great job!
What a fun tour!! Love seeing the team's gardens! Thanks for sharing! ❤️
That’s amazing. Goals for this year 🥰
Beautiful garden. Very nice sharing thank you for this video
Passion fruit makes an AMAZINGGGGGG vinegarette! Look up lilikoi dressing recipes! ( lilokoi is hawaiian for passion fruit) I miss hawaii sooooo bad!!!
I have those same kind of beds that she has in her backyard. She’s done an amazing job of building a beautiful garden in a very short time. Well done!
Great to hear!
I love to see a normal chicken coop vs instagram coop. Beautiful garden. This chick works hard to do this.
This was amazing! She is living my dream yard. I love it!
This is inspiring! Been considering expanding my garden area and it’s great to see how quickly you can turn a yard into something spectacular!

Tom thumbs will produce maybe 10 to 15 pea pods per plant then they are done. Fyi
@@christinahawkins3469 thanks again...determinate peas?
I love her integration of pollinator plants in her garden!
I love your channel it always makes my day.
What a cool family you guys are at epic. Nice video.
Really enjoyed this video. Thank you Chris!
Wonderful, thank you so much for sharing your garden
Thank you for sharing your garden Kris. I love getting ideas from other people!
Am watching with you guys and learning
Her sign is amazing. I need something like that. There are a lot of us pandemic gardeners.
I’m a pandemic gardener too! Had to start with containers because of my dogs but I’d love to start a backyard make over
Amazing how much has been done in such a short time. Beautiful garden.
That is one fantastic garden! Thank you for sharing!.
your growing season is insane, thanks for the tour!!
I am just imaging what Kris could do with an acre of land. This is so impressive and makes me question my excuse for not having chickens "I don't have the space". Great work guys. Love these videos.
Kris's garden is very pretty, it has funky twists that remind me of my mom's gardens... Awesome work! :)
I’m fairly sure the globe artichoke does not have an edible tuber. The unopened flower is the edible part. A Jerusalem artichoke (sun choke) has the edible tubers. 😌👍🏼
Be safe and trim off the cut ends of wire from the cattle panel in the front yard.
Love what you are doing!!! Thanks for sharing this video with us!
Really interesting! I fully watched 😀
Such a talented individual. That garden is amazing! I have seen her work before and she is excellent at her trade! I also have seen reviews of her work and they all have been extremely positive.
Kris your garden transformation is impressive and beautiful! Wow! Thrilled to meet the girls too!
Beautiful front yard with all those flowers and edibles.
Good news: Tomatoes are self pollinating. 3 things I LOVE have 100% of the time in a partially shady, semi-moist location, is parsley, basil, and cilantro...I can't keep them all all year, but I try (I hate it when I have to buy it at the store). Also I have rain barrels that can be used with hoses to soak planting areas or fruit trees.
You know you’re going to need to give us some canning and cooking ideas😁🥦
