Did you know broccoli is made of tiny unopened flowers? 🌹 Harvest the head and side shoots for max yield, and don’t forget—the leaves are edible too! 😋

Grew a bed of mustard… just to chop it down. Battling nematodes and gophers this season, so I’m using this plant as a natural pest fighter. Hope this sacrifice keeps the pests at bay. 🛡️

Always ready @jacquesinthegarden 😎🌱

We're gardeners, we just dropped the BEST and longest Epic Gardening sale of the year for Black Friday! Tap the link in bio for some killer deals.

Learn how bananas thrive on a literal family tree and meet the unique characters in their circle of life. 🍌

We’ve never grown broccoli this big—over 1.5 feet in diameter! Normally, when you harvest broccoli, you let the plant continue to grow so you can get a few side shoots of “mini-broccoli,” but in this plant’s case, even the side shoots are massive!

When the bounty bites back...

Will these carrots surprise us, or are we in for a laugh? Either way, they’re going to taste amazing. Plus, stick around for a quick tip on using carrot tops. 🥕

Garlic - one of the most-used crops in the kitchen and surprisingly not THAT hard to grow... if you plant it right. There are two types - soft neck and hard neck. Hard neck requires vernalization, or a period of cold to grow best. In San Diego Zone 10b where the Epic Gardening headquarters is, we don't get temperatures that cold... so we put it in the fridge for a few months!

Just harvested a huge banana yield, so it’s time for some chopping. Here’s the thing: once a banana plant produces fruit, it’s done for good — like a grandmother who’s passed down her wisdom. We chop down the old part (the “grandmother”), leaving the stump to support the “mother” plant. Underneath, new shoots, or “granddaughters,” are already growing strong and ready to take their place. It’s the circle of life. 🍌✨
