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!
Hi~We have some free bird feeders(US) and would like to find people who are interested in them to test them, if you are interested you can contact me, thanks!😃
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 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.
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.
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.
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
What you are doing is so important. Every time I watch I learn something new and get the itch to expand my garden! Thank you for the encouraging and informative content!
i convinced my dad to start a backyard garden in 2019 by 2020 we moved to a massive farm in alice springs and now have animals and gardens i love the horses the best
I’d never imagined that a beautiful garden like this could be possible in a simple backyard. WOW! Absolutely amazing work. I would love to find out some of those recipes, she seems like an amazing cook.
Hi~We have some free bird feeders(US) and would like to find people who are interested in them to test them, if you are interested you can contact me, thanks!😀
No offense, I don't notice any fully grown veggie. It's 90 % flowers and plants hoarding xD I'm still waiting for her to invite the guy for a salad sample. Update. It's just bread & eggs 😂
@@condorX2not really. The vegetables are in the soil genius. She mentioned potatoes, tomatoes, peppers, celery, snap peas, beans, kale, passion fruit, beets. They came early in season before harvesting.
Love your garden! I just put in a 8x20’ flower bed and planted so many flowers to get more pollinators in the garden. I can’t wait. I’m going to keep working on getting the bylaw changed in my town so we can have chickens in the backyard.
I love seeing everyone on the team's garden, but I'd really love you to do a series of videos of a complete novice's garden, start to finish, showing how to choose the placement, what plants to start with, what beds to choose, etc - all right from the beginning. That's the kind of content that would most resonate with me, as I'm suffering from decision paralysis, afraid to make the wrong choices. I wanna be walked through with a professional, on each decision to make, and how it's made.
I clicked, because goals! I have a family of six, and we usually just have a few homegrown things mixed in with store bought produce. But I'm in zone 6b. Our grow season is so short, I would have to grow a TON and preserve it, and I'm just not sure I could do enough. I'm dabbling in indoor gardening, but had so many pest issues with no predator bugs in the house, and it got overwhelming to co-exist with them.
We have been growing most of our vegetables in grow bags for more than 6 years now, and we are always happy with the results. We never shared pictures or videos anywhere because it wasn’t that important to us till now. Now we started to share some content here on UA-cam. We always enjoy what we do and that brings a lot of joy to our lives. We hope to inspire people.
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.
I love seeing growers' gardens. Love it. You could grow that passionfruit vine up the hill lol. My parents have a 2 story carport that covers an entry to their property. They grow a passionfruit vine that completely covers that carport lol. They harvest by just waiting for the fruit to fall down. Since the fruit doesn't get sweet until it get really winkly, after they pick off the ground, they will let the fruit sit some more still, so it works very well. But yeah, probably hundreds of fruit a season.
This is so cool that you can grow 80% of your vegetables to feed a family of 5 in your home garden. Not only is it functional but the colors are beautiful! & the Chickens laying about 2 dozen eggs weekly is definitely a plus. With the inflation rising I want to learn how to grow a home garden to feed my family too.
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!
Tour from Chris was terrific and engaging. Would really like to she Chris on weekly basis to give viewers real life work she puts into her garden and what she is producing . love this
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.
I love this video. I appreciate all your efforts to educate us and inspire us. I started by saving/rescuing my boyfriend's cactuses, spider plants, arrowhead plants, etc and propagating them. Asking everyone I know for cuttings, lol. My boyfriend just bought me 35 packets of seeds. I've decided I might better grow the marigold and geranium seeds first to help the eventual veggies deal with any pests I'm going to encounter. We have mint, lemongrass, and peppermint. At least my aphids don't seem to bother them at all. Watching videos I'm seeing all sorts of recycled trellises and different ways in which I can do container gardening. I've got the gardening bug coursing through my veins and it's partially y'all's fault 😁 so thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Hi Kris your work is inspiring. My mum had green fingers and so my brother who recently passed. I decided to honour his memory and continue with his garden and I now find it so therapeutic. Im learning so much and have a far way to go. So sorry I started so late in my life. Gardening is so satisfying.
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!
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.
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
What an awesome garden! I get so many garden ideas from watching your videos, but I only have a little 6'x6' garden space right now so I can only do so many of them! Can't wait until I can get my hands on some more dirt to grow in!
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?
I love Chip Drop! Currently mulching around my raised beds with a load from a local arborist. I love seeing people in the suburbs making use of every inch of yard space. 🥰
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!
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 👍
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 have to admit when I first saw the front garden, I thought it wasn't very special, BUT when I saw the back - WOW ! just great. I live in the UK with a colder climate, so some of the things you have just wouldn't survive here, but still lots of ideas to copy. Beautiful.
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.
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.
Fantastic garden!! Great idea to tour other's gardens!! Word of warning re: 'overwintering'. I learned the hard way that letting my prolific heirloom tomatoes (Black Krim & Japanese Black Trifle) keep on growing for 3yrs was an 'invitation' for RKN-- root knot nematodes to invade the soil & infest the roots of those plants. RKN also ended up infesting my eggplants & Swiss Chard, green beans, cucumbers.... It's a damned hard battle to win. Once the RKN is in the soil (they're microscopic-- can't see them just by looking at the soil) they'll get into the roots of the plants & make knots on the roots where they eat the nutrients that the plants need to flourish & provide produce. This is my 5th yr of the battle. I've tried applying beneficial nematodes (purchased at Andersen's Nursery Pt. Loma), letting raised beds be without plants for a couple months, planting mustard & tilling it into soil at end of season, and then planting LOTS of French marigolds (Tagetes patula-- which is supposed to deter & repel RKN) along w/ new plants of tomato, cucumber, beans, eggplants... only to have those plants seem to grow happily for about 2 to 2 1/2 months.... and to sadly decline & stop producing & die. I just ordered Crab & Lobster Meal, & also the liquid form (from Nature's Harvest) of that to try in my garden. The crab shells contain chitin, which I believe attracts a bacteria that will attack the RKN... I think that's what it does... pls correct me if I'm wrong on that!! Anyway, I'm desperate to get my raised beds free of RKN so I can again have happy, healthy, prolific plants!
Love these home tours. I'm in Julian with hot, hot summers and cold winters. Gardening's tough here. I do have a greenhouse and have some success but am mostly about houseplants. Would love to see more houseplant videos. I enjoy EG very much! Thanks!
There's a more recent one as well that I've seen. That's why I'm thinking he might be up for another. ;) Thanks for the link. I'll check it out right now.
What an amazing garden! It’s impressive that she can grow such much produce for her family. I would love to see some of her recipes. It’s great that your support staff is so involved and knowledgeable
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!
We just released her "Bloody Mary Deviled Eggs" recipe on Epic Homesteading: ua-cam.com/video/SB0iqYHTJWA/v-deo.html

Would love the sour dough bread recipe!
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 has become a family affair for us. It's a great way to bond and teach our children about the wonders of nature.
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
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!
That was so awesome to watch and learn. Thanks Chris for letting us see around your garden. Well done
Hello Mrs. Kris it's so great to meet everyone in the Epic Family. Thanks for sharing.👋💐
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.
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!
Love your garden! I just put in a 8x20’ flower bed and planted so many flowers to get more pollinators in the garden. I can’t wait. I’m going to keep working on getting the bylaw changed in my town so we can have chickens in the backyard.
Hope you can get it changed!
Bylaws are one thing, then those pesky CC&Rs and all pose another challenge...
Quail? Pigeons?
I think Chris needs her own channel. Many of us can relate to her. Great video
😍👍
Holy cow what a beautiful garden!! And that food looks absolutely delicious. Thanks for sharing!
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. 😎😎

Fantastic garden!! Great idea to tour other's gardens!! Word of warning re: 'overwintering'. I learned the hard way that letting my prolific heirloom tomatoes (Black Krim & Japanese Black Trifle) keep on growing for 3yrs was an 'invitation' for RKN-- root knot nematodes to invade the soil & infest the roots of those plants. RKN also ended up infesting my eggplants & Swiss Chard, green beans, cucumbers.... It's a damned hard battle to win. Once the RKN is in the soil (they're microscopic-- can't see them just by looking at the soil) they'll get into the roots of the plants & make knots on the roots where they eat the nutrients that the plants need to flourish & provide produce.

Kevin did one houseplants with Summer Rayne Oakes. See it here, from 2018 ua-cam.com/video/04asMEYqSAQ/v-deo.html.
There's a more recent one as well that I've seen. That's why I'm thinking he might be up for another. ;) Thanks for the link. I'll check it out right now.
What an amazing garden! It’s impressive that she can grow such much produce for her family. I would love to see some of her recipes. It’s great that your support staff is so involved and knowledgeable
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!
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!
That’s amazing. Goals for this year 🥰
Love seeing the local gardens. Thanks for sharing!
Kris is a true inspiration!!! Thank you for sharing. I love seeing these garden tours ❤
I love her integration of pollinator plants in her garden!
Thank you for sharing your garden Kris. I love getting ideas from other people!
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!
