Watch This If You Want To Grow Your Own Food in 2026

clocked out of my day job and have instantly clocked into my night job which is 90% garden planning and 10% harvesting

i need a shirt that says "what am I supposed to do with a radish at 24?"

Since I retired and my wife “sort of” retired, we have committed ourselves to growing as much of our own food as possible. We grow a bunch of food in-ground, but we also have 12 metal raised beds, at least 24 large pots/grow bags, 2 Greenstalk planters, a small greenhouse and a nice sized cold frame. Mostly we follow Huw Richards’ “minimal disturbance” gardening philosophy. In addition, so much of our success must be credited to what Kevin and Jacque are doing on the Epic Homestead!

Sorry, but I am laughing at 24 year old you just looking at a radish 😂😂😂

2026 is going to be the year. I’m going to grow greens and not have the bugs eat them. I can feel it!

Bought my first raised beds this year and my gardening experience has transformed. I took my sad little 600 sqft backyard from a dry heat sink to a thriving food paradise that now helps keep our house a little cooler in the heat of the Arizona desert. Not to mention the effect it has had on my mental health. You guys have help teach me and showed me so much that has helped me achieve a lot this year. Thank you!

My desire to grow food on the porch of my apartment came when my daughter was born. I grew peas and radishes when I was younger at my parent's place, but not as an adult. When you see a special little nugget and you want to protect her from all of the horrible things found in our food supply, plus the cost of said food skyrocketing, you find a solution like grow bags. Then you discover the Greenstalk to compliment the grow bags and never look back 😀

This kind of video quietly changes how you see food and the future 🌱 Simple choices today can mean freedom tomorrow. Really enjoyed watching this.

You guys helped get me pumped about starting a veggie garden this year. I always said I was the “black thumb of death” rather than a green thumb and now I have a growing garden. Thanks for all your tricks and tips. I’ve enjoyed watching you peeps so much this year.
