Zone 7a doesn’t get their first frost date for most parts until late late October, if not even early November, way more than 8 weeks from July. In July we still have about 90+ days of growing season and people even plant corn the first week of July here
Thank you for the videos & info. I live in central oklahoma & this is my first REAL garden. I've planted a few things over the years but this year did quite a lot for my small yard. My tomatoes are all taking off with little green baby tomatoes and little fingerling sized yellow squash as well as cucumbers and 1 bell pepper that looks nothing like what you buy at the store? It's sort of roundish & is the size of a tennis ball. Learned a lot by trial & error this year/ did raised beds. At least next year we won't have to build the frames and buy so much soil etc- ill be ready haha! I was born & raised in nw Louisiana and my mammaw had a huge garden bigger than my house and yard combined here & I have fond memories of helping her and helping her can beets etc. Miss her terribly & all those fresh shelled - as my mama says- " pink eye purple hull peas- nobody up here even knows what those are so im HOPING to plant my own but when would you suggest planting those up here? Also miss my collards and want to try those as well but back home IIRC aren't collards a cold weather plant? Also can you plant peas that have been kept frozen in rhe freezer? I have a bag of purple hulls she gave me before she passed away years ago( they've never been cooked or anything & I just can't bear to just throw them away) . Ty in advance for any help. Sorry this comment is so long.
Thanks super helpful the way you have links and descriptions. Love the channel especially tt He breakdown of different zones bcitmakes a big difference rather than a one size fits all gardening information
Thanks. As a newbie, I was a-feared I was too late to fill in the empty spots in the garden. The early lettuce didn't sprout, so that'll be Swiss Chard!! :-)
great video!! Thanks much, I'm in zone 7 and gardening is new to me...knowing what to plant and when according to your zone was always confusing to me. Thanks 4 this
I do my last planting of sweet corn around July 20th of Fisher's Earliest Sweet Corn which nominally is 70 days to harvest (I add 14-15 days to the time because the light intensity is less in the late summer/fall there for growth is slower) in my zone 8b with an "expected" frost around Halloween. I usually assume frost by the 15 of October to be on the safe side.
Wow that would be great. We are zone 6 b and have an earlier frost date so about mid June is the last time we can get corn in. How does the Fisher's taste? I've found some of the shorter maturing sweet corns to be not as tasty.
@@StoneyAcresGardening Like an old style OP sweet corn, it is not as sweet as modern hybrids but I think that the actual flavor can be better. The trick to it is to boil the corn as soon as you pick it (like start the water boiling to cook it before you head to the garden) and shuck it straight into the boiling water./j But really, process it as fast as you can, blanch it right away if you are going to freeze it etc. The sugars turn to starches pretty quickly after it is picked, and because it is less sweet to begin with (which leaves more room for other flavoring agents) it can quickly become "starchy".
@@StoneyAcresGardening Radishes are acually grown in 8b because the hot weather and day length cause bolting which is desirable for seed crops. Don't expect an edible crop.
Here in the Pacific northwest, we're still 8b, technically, but we're having an extremely mild summer. Highs upper 60s, low 70s. My second radish crop is just maturing, and I'm considering planting another.
During hot summers and long days, radishes will grow in height and gain green mass and the fruit will be small and not as good in taste. Shading can help, 8-10 hours of sun per day is enough for the radishes.
Are you asking when to plant them if you live in Australia? Or is that a variety of pea? I'm based in the US so I don't know much about planting times in Australia, sorry.
@@StoneyAcresGardening I am sorry. It's a variety of winter peas often planted for wild game feed plots. But I have read they are good to eat for humans. I am in Arkansas in the Arkansas River Valley. zone 7
I planted cucumbers and zucchini in the beginning of the season (April-ish) and their leaves are growing great with plenty of flowers/buds but absolutely no fruit. Not even any sign of fruits. I just don’t know if I should give up on them and use the space for lettuce and things I know can grow before the first frost or if I should give them more time. Does anyone have advice?!?!?
Both of those need pollinators. You can do it yourself with a Q-tip. I did this early in Spring, but now there are enough insects doing their job so I don’t have to! LOL! There are plenty of videos on UA-cam to show you how.
It's a little too early for Spinach and Beets for zones 7 and 8. You need to wait a bit longer, plant those around 8 weeks before your first frost so that they are maturing when the weather is cooler.
What zone? Those should be outside growing/starting and you are still in time to get some harvest if they have already sprouted (they take too long to sprout to put seeds down right now ) but started should be fine
@@MAmet-bc3zz I'm on the line of 8A and 8B.. and there are probably 12 sprouted in cups (out of 50) I'll try to get them in this week.. the tropical storm has passed now
Whoa! You are discounting the fact that zone 8b has what is essentially a nuclear winter in July and August. We routinely exceed 90 degrees and 90% humidity. The pollen of many plants die at these temperatures. Diseases become a severe limiting factor and insects can be of biblical proportions. The night temperatures are often in the 80's stopping most fruiting in its tracks. How about discussing plants that have a realistic chance of survival. Brassicas -- not here my friend.
Indoors would be much better. Part of the reason we do it indoors is because it is much cooler. Fall crops don't like HOT weather and will struggle in the summers heat outdoors.
@@harlankraft578 TY Harlan, cause there are few things that i can't figure out as much as i try. You straight out giving me the answer insted of giving me one more article to read is appreciated...ic
You should still be okay with beans and cucumbers, your harvest will be a bit smaller buy you will still get one. It is too early for broccoli to go out in the garden, it is a cool season crop and should be planted by transplant about 6 to 8 weeks before your first frost. So it might be time for you to get some starts going indoors, but they wouldn't do well outside right now.

Radishes only take about 4 weeks to grow from seeds.
It's a bit too hot in July for radishes. They are a cool season crop for spring and fall planting.
@@StoneyAcresGardening Radishes are acually grown in 8b because the hot weather and day length cause bolting which is desirable for seed crops. Don't expect an edible crop.

Really helpful guides, thank you!
Glad you like them!
So valuable this information is
Sowing in July....
Summer squashes
Cucumbers
Beans
Leafy greens, like swiss chard
Transplants of plant starts, brassicas
Are you starting indoors
My first frost day is October 21😋🤗🌍
Thank you awesome video!
Glad you liked it!
My zuchs are going crazy now. I'm trying cilantro to see if they will grow this late.
Mine are coming up really nicely.
Thx for the info. It really does help😊
Glad to hear that!
Thanks so much
When would I plant my fall carrots
About 8 weeks before your first fall frost.
@@StoneyAcresGardening thank you so much. Ive been going by your zone 7 last year and this year so thanks for sharing
Hi, What type of peas are best for Fall? English, snap or snow? Thank you.
I prefer Snap or snow because most of them have shorter maturity dates, and you can eat the pods even if they don't fully mature.
When to plant Australian winter peas in zone 7?

@@lpmoron6258 I've never grown them. From what I can see online they should be planted in September and October in the South.
@@StoneyAcresGardening thank you
New subscriber. When you say ready for planting? Do you mean direct seed them outdoors?
Yes these are all planted by seed.
ourstoneyacres thank you!!
Can you make one for zone 10 in July?
Oh! wait! You did! gtg watch it now! Thank you👍
LOL, Yep, it just went live about an hour ago!
Are the plants listed for July to be sowed with seeds? Or would I already need a small plant?
Seeds are fine
Do you have a video for zone 5/6?
Yep, it is a bit older so it doesn't have 5/6 in the title, but here's the link:

Can I start these indoors or direct sew...specifically Cucumbers
I would just direct sow.

Zone 8a. Can i still do peppers?
Yes, but by transplant.
I planted cucumbers and zucchini in the beginning of the season (April-ish) and their leaves are growing great with plenty of flowers/buds but absolutely no fruit. Not even any sign of fruits.

Like Laurie, I think you have a pollination issue. Have you seen bees in your garden? If not you can hand pollinate.
What about spinach and beets?
It's a little too early for Spinach and Beets for zones 7 and 8. You need to wait a bit longer, plant those around 8 weeks before your first frost so that they are maturing when the weather is cooler.
We grow spinach all winter long. Only really hard or long freezes hurt them. They survive into the low 20's.
Can I start rutabagas in zone 7 at the end of July for my fall crop?
How about greenhouse plants for zone 7 location?
None of the stores in my zone (6b) have vegetable seeds. :(
You should be able to get them online still.
When is a good time to plant romaine in zone 7
8 weeks before your first frost.
I am in zone 7 middle GA. Won't beans drop their blooms in the heat if planted now?
did you upload one for zone 6 & 7???
I'm kinda bummed about bell peppers not being on the list.. I have some barely started inside since my first planting didn't come up.

You should still be okay with beans and cucumbers, your harvest will be a bit smaller buy you will still get one.
It is too early for broccoli to go out in the garden, it is a cool season crop and should be planted by transplant about 6 to 8 weeks before your first frost. So it might be time for you to get some starts going indoors, but they wouldn't do well outside right now.
