literally watching the egg planting and thinking, 'it's finally happened...he's lost his mind' 🤣

[RoadsandRipples]

What absolutely killed me was how detailed and far you went with the egg plant. “Inherent water and nutrition” I died for a solid minute 😂💀⚰️

Did the "egg plant" in one take, that's why they call me First Take Kev (Eric)

Remember guys, get a Lilac bush. When it starts to bloom that means the soil has reached 7 degrees C and youre good to plant outside

I grew my own popcorn last year using seeds from a jar of popcorn from the grocery store just as an experiment. It was THE BEST popcorn ever! We ate it without any salt or butter (we popped it with coconut oil) and the kernels are softer than regular so we even ate the unpopped kernels they were so good.

😵‍💫 Eggplant 😆

For xlarge zucchini, I make zucchini flour from it. Peel completely, remove all seeds, slice thin and dehydrate. (Seeds won’t dehydrate well.) Place dehydrated zucchini in a high speed blender and blend into a flour.

Use the flour 1:1 for regular flour —and you won’t taste zucchini flavor in whatever you use it for. Like brownies, pancakes and much much more. 💖

Thank you for bringing Erin into the mix. It's nice having another zone 5b gardener on here 🙌

Meg is the best, she has that cool yoga teacher vibe. 😍

I don't have a garden but I love these videos to take me away to a brighter place on the interweb! Love what ya'll are doing, and can't wait to grow one day!

Hopefully Kevin and Jacques can actually get a decent peanut harvest this year 👀😂

[arthuratkins]

I live the April video dropping in March so I can actually prepare for once!

you can plant a sugar baby watermelon on your balcony. You just need a 10 gallon container and a 5 foot tomato cage. Send the vine up the tomato cage and make hammocks to support the melons when they emerge. I do this every summer.

I grew crimson sweet watermelon on my small patio last year in a 2 gallon pot. I only grew one but was easily able to wrap the vine around the railing and keep it well watered with a SIPs container. It was the best tasting watermelon I’ve ever had, so if you’re in a city with a small space, even you can grow delicious watermelon.

Lol the way I audibly gasped at Erin being in 5b! Yay! So excited to see the team expand and some midwest love!

[KimLong-vi]

Thanks for telling us newbies WHEN to start seeds, and what grows in what season.

[charlenejutras]

Such a fun video! I love how people from different zones are represented. Great job on eggplant, Kevin!

[janebrown]

Pleased to met Erin zone 5b in New Zealand, we are in autumn/fall here. Love your channel well done guys ❤

[SteffaniesJourney]

OMG the eggplant bit did me in...hilarious!!!!

[lauriepolden]

I grew a pumpkin… it was beautiful I only grew one because I think it was a mistake seed in my batch of cucumbers. When I planted my cucumbers, I noticed that one was growing very strange, and it started forming a ball instead of a cucumber and it became a pumpkin and I carved it for Halloween. It was so cool I was so excited.

I have been purchasing my birdies beds over the winter and started putting them out nom (I live in Upstate New York). They are so easy to put together. I love how they look and I can't wait to finish assembling my beds before the growing season. This is the best gardening channel - am learning sooo much

The way I kept hollering NO WAY 7:50 🤣🤣🤣
