When the cilantro goes to seed, collect them and, once fully dry, add them to your spice rack. Ground up cilantro seeds = ground coriander (as we call it in usa). Ground coriander is common in Indian and Mexican cuisine

I had the most unexpected experience with lettuce roots a few years ago. I live in NE Ohio, and I had planted my fall lettuce honestly rather late in our year. When a solid week of freeze was upon us, I ran out to my garden and dug up all the lettuce to take the lettuce inside for the winter. This worked way better than I expected, and I put the lettuce back out in the garden in the spring. In this time, the lettuce roots had grown thick and gnarly, and they lasted the summer. In the fall, after the last harvest, I went to pull the lettuce roots out. They looked so much like a root vegetable at that point that I just had to experiment. I washed and trimmed up the roots. Sliced into them and tried a taste: the SWEETEST lightest root veggie I have ever eaten! So I decided to make my standard root vegetable oven fries and see what happened. What started off as a bright white root actually turned black (not burned) in the oven, and they tasted incredible. It was definitely a long process (over a year) from when I first planted the lettuce seeds, and I know nothing about the chemical composition of the lettuce roots to know if it's recommendable. But it was still a happy accident.

I would love it if on the website I could search seeds just by season, shade, or edible flowers. Like I click ‘Fall’ and see all the suggested seed packets. Or click ‘part shade’ and every seed packet that has that is shown.

Seeing this after I saw Meg’s video about her cancer diagnosis 😭 I hope she stays on after treatment but wishing her healing 🙏🏼

Really appreciate the variety of gardeners you have here and the increased variety of zones being talked about! Sometimes I wish there was a graphic in the lower left that showed translations for other zones, inline with all your recommendations real-time for everything, in addition to say throwing to NC or FL sometimes. Kinda like how yoga demonstrations show modifications for people who can't do the moves. Pacific NW fella here can't keep up with which of your recommendations for say September in southern CA is for same up here. Gardening in SD is kinda working with a cheat code ;) but seriously y'all have amazing skills and a great presentation style, love seeing how the epic garden and epic homestead and epic gardening crew have evolved over time!

Shin Kuroda worked for me! Hard clay soil, late start, hot weather, and a good harvest!

Spinach is crazy. I has no idea it could tolerate the cold like it can. So I threw seeds randomly in my garden last year in November. Did nothing else. All the plants sprouted. Grew leaves. Even when completely covered in snow for litterly months. I'm in 7b.

In late February i harvested some leaves... not vert many.. but enough for a small side salad. I'm going to do this again this year. But more purposefully.

My cabbages are doing great! I have 8 of them and they are all thriving although the weather is still warm. The lettuce on the other hand… there is nothing going on over there. I think I messed up on the soil, but it’s still too early to tell. Either way, I am enjoying my gardening journey and I am wishing everyone gets a good harvest for the upcoming season! ❤

[crankychef]

Love you Meg! Dont let this trial dim your light. You are amazing 🩷

[tompowers]

You should do a shallot video, I dont see them grown alot but people like me up here in the north can produse alot with them. its one of the few crops that the 25% of us here in the far north can do really well with yet its very rarely talked about!

[jasonkehr]

@14:25 I've spent all spring and summer hucking slugs away from my garden beds, so I feel this on a personal level.

[Grower-krqy]

Kevin, from your hydroponics days till now you’ve continually inspired me to grow! I truly appreciate all you’ve done to inspire me and every other grower who’ve been lucky enough to find your videos!

[KellySaxton-lp]

A successful person is one who can lay a firm foundation with the bricks that others throw at him or her.

I started some fall veggies in 6 cell packs, but also decided to take out some non performing zucchini and cherry tomatoes. Oddly, decided there might be enough time to get a crop of corn, so I planted Buttergold corn which boasts a 63 day maturity. There might be time for corn on the cob. We don't get frost until November's end.

[marihannah]

Meg, I'm in North Carolina, too! Kevin and Epic Gardening, thank you for expanding to different climates. Really interesting video!

[snowbirdgardener]

I grew your Shin Kuroda and Atomic Red Carrots last fall in So. Cal zone 9, in 5 gal buckets. They were very prolific and delicious! I'll grow them both, this fall, too.

[DawnRK]

Cilantro is still an herb I reach for in the fall and winter to sprinkle on curries. Yum!

[ShaistaKhanum-jkzw]

Really impressive way to motivate fall sowing.
I like the way this team is reminding me to be active even in the late summer of zone 11.
Love you all from Pakistan
