where are you growing? my nights are very hot I’m in the high desert in California but I will try some of these thank you for your informative vid loved it
I'm in Georgia zone 8. I've made a shade garden bed to try spinach, peas, broccoli, radish and kale. I think more people in hot climates should think about shade gardens. Even created with shade cloth. You'll be surprised what will grow. 😊
My peas were planted in May and they are in the shade and doing great. I’m in Maryland and have been having triple digit weather! It’s the end of July now!
Yes indeed. I was growing cold crops in the high altitude of Colorado mid-July under shade screen so they would germinate. Kept them cool by misting them throughout the day. My September and October harvest of sweet peas, kale, chard, beets, carrots and half a dozen lettuce varieties were extraordinary!
I'm zone 8 as well and I have peas growing in summer on the shaded side of my house. It works out amazingly well for me. I get sweet snap peas even in the higher heat. Though I did have a small bunch die off when we received that crazy heat snap. Nothing really likes temps above 110 no matter how much shade it has
Dude. I'm in 8a in Texas. Put my citrus trees in the shade for about 1.5 months now. They're doing SO much better. I guess this Texas heat is rough even on citrus trees.
I'm in zone 6a but we go from cold spring to hot summer fast and in summer can go 2-3 weeks with no rain. I grow half my garden under the partial shade of a couple of crabapple trees. People think I'm crazy but I plant all my cooler season crops under the partial shade. They thrive on the morning and evening sun and get crucial shade during the hotest part of the day. Cucumbers especially seem to like this set up.
Random trick to keeping many ground pests away from plants is wood ash from a fireplace, gently placing the collected and cold ash around the plant, and anyone who knows how nutrient rich soil can get after a fire will know that ash can help with soil nutrients as well. Out in Oregon where slugs and worms and caterpillars are abundant, we used this. But obviously don't use ash from plastics or garbage burn material as it has carcinogenic chemicals in it.
I wish you had a twin, the FLgardener, who knew the same facts about planting in august when temps still hit 100+ degrees any given day. I'll delay this by a month, and hope all this will be good to grow then :)
My grandpa had a beautiful home garden and he grew up on a farm. Purslaine was the only "weed" he didn't mind and would snack on it while we were weeding in his garden.
You're making me rethink growing a spring/summer garden at all. ;-) Everything you have listed as fall garden crops is what I have grown in the spring/summer garden (except tomatoes), and I have had no end of issues with temperature and pest load.
This makes me think of the time I took a chance and planted bush Romas in September. Had to cover the rows once or twice, but harvested beautiful perfect organic beans, no bugs, no blemishes, on December 1, and my wife and I canned 20-some qts with plenty for fresh as well as pints of pickled dill beans. So guess I need to get the tiller out & try it again. Thanks for the nice video - quite inspirational as you can tell!
I bought my tomatoes at a nursery ( Armstrongs nursery). Put a banana peel in hole before you plant anything ! I even purée my peels and old bananas in my blender and pour it around the base of my plant 👍👍👍👍👍👍. Look into (tea composting)👍👍👍. Mulch around ALL plants I use straw about 4-6inches make sure if you get any hay or straw that it doesn’t have any chemicals used while they were growing the hay or straw. Some places use it around the head for weeds. Keep away from that kind. Look at a lot of gardening on UA-cam.
I planted some that I got at the Farmers Market 6 weeks ago and bugs ate it all up I even sprinkled diatomaceous earth on it it's still got eaten by bugs
So in 2020, I planted 2017 season peas and every one of them came up. I had newer seed, but found an old packet unopened and decided to see what would happen. I am impressed.
Recently, our family restored and renovated Ma's veggie garden. It's been 6 years since she died and since I've been able to garden. I'm trying to squeeze all I can into this tiny garden in Milwaukee. I have followed you for many years. Thanks very much for sharing!
I'm so bummed I didn't start watching this years ago. Just starting to garden now and I can't believe how much I'm learning from this channel and how much I don't know about anything (food!) This channel is fantastic. Cheers
I feel like I am finally grasping the fact that my fave veg is sown now. Had so many issues sowing seeds at the beginning of the year to find they all failed. So this year I am stepping up[ my game. Now I feel a little more confident to go ahead and follow your advice.
On August 9 at 4:00 PM it was 107 degrees Fahrenheit when I left work. I was at 5687 feet elevation above sea level. I think I should wait another month or two to implement this plan.
This was very helpful, thank you! Zone 4 Canada here. If I recall you're zone 6? My frost comes 2-3 weeks before yours. I'll be harvesting my garlic next week. I have 9 rows of 12-15 planted, so it's a good sized patch! I usually don't replant the whole bed but this year I will. Food is more expensive now, I'm sure you've noticed! I'll add some sheep manure compost after I pull the garlic, water it in and let it brew for a week. Fortunately, I gather seeds/beans every fall so I still have 'leftover' seeds for kale, zucchini, bunching onions, daikon radish, 2 types of bush beans, 2 types of pole beans plus half a package of swiss chard seed and half a package of carrot seed.....they're ALL going in!!!! I'll give the non-root crops a headstart under the growlight. These are strange times. Take care.
Yes, Canada. I just mentally substituted his mentions of August for July. Our first frosts start in September. It our September frosts that sweeten up our kale and parsnips. I just put in beets, kale and watermelon radishes. I think I might clear some room this weekend and add more sugar snap peas. I wonder if I have some amaranth seed? But where would I put it? I had purslane volunteer all over the place this year. I'm saving seed from it and I may companion plant it with my tender perennials that spend the winter on my windowsill.
cleared out my cucumber bed today and planted lettuce and spinach - cleared out the zucchini and planted carrots and have yellow summer squash - 2nd planting of bush beans starting to blossom out - some of my tomatoes are about to become history and will soon plant brocolli and beets
I cut dill seed heads because I use it to make refrigerator fermented pickles all year. Homemade pickles don’t have the chemicals that are in commercial ones. I also use dill in rice and other vegetables.
Another great video. Came up and grabbed 50 packs of seeds as well as some worm castings/15 lb bag of Trifecta. Thank you for being such a great inspiration to get people out in the garden! I couldn't be more fortunate.
I've recently sown out peas, bush beans, spinach, lamb's lettuce, winter purslane, chard, beets, lettuces, dill, parsley and carrots. I had no idea I could still plant pole beans, kohlrabi and cabbages! I still have seed packets left, so tomorrow I'm totally giving this a try. Thanks, Luke! :)
Great video very good to know there’s lots to plant to store for winter .I can feed the family this fall. I’m going to share this with my 44,700 subscribers in my videos later today. Thank you for sharing this great information my fellow Michigander.
This is true for Kansas too. We will be mid 90s all thru next week! But you can start a lot of the brassicas inside and transplant in 4-6 weeks. That is what I am trying this year. And I will be trying to grow lots and lots of carrots because I love fermented carrot sticks.
Not only that, but if you plant something like Cucumbers or Zucchinis right now in NC or lower, you'll be in for quite a fight with pickleworms unless you use row covers, which are just incredibly annoying to manage as you have to either raise and lower them everyday to let in pollinators, or you have to hand pollinate. Whatever advice you see here, make sure you consider that he's giving it for Michigan as every area has it's own taxonomy of pests and diseases in addition to the climate differences.
Nope nope nope... Here in Central Texas we will still be in the 90’s (praying it’s not in the 100’s in September!) No radishes, beets or many of these suggestions will work for Zone 8-10! Current temp is 100 and Tuesday brings 104! 🥵 We did just plant black eyed peas, cucumbers, basil, tomatoes, and beans! Thanks to shade cover we are still getting a sprinkling of squash and zucchini, peppers and the okra is loving the heat!
This is what I'm planting today in WNY. Beets. Turnips. Beans. Radish. Cherry tomatoes. Carrots. Gonna try a few potatoes too. Almost forgot Brussels sprouts. Pull the whole plant out of the ground at frost. Hang upside down in your she'd and you'll be harvesting sweet brussell sprouts most of the winter.
From a fellow Midwesterner I absolutely love this video! Lots of great tips and ideas as my summer garden is starting to slow down and it'll be my first time attempting to grow things now for the fall! thank you for this =)
And if you live in zone 9 just wait another month before planting these crops. 100+ degrees Fahrenheit weather will kill most of these plants at their young age.
Yeah I'm in Texas.. it's going to be over a hundred degrees for the next 3 days so I'm going to wait until next week I guess. Maybe even the week after LOL.
That was VERY helpful!! Thanks mate! ☺️👍♥️ (Zucchini would be what we in the UK call "courgettes" - I love those!! ☺️👍😋 "Bunching onions" I think must be what are sold in our supermarkets as "spring onions" - nice to know you can grow them still in late summer/autumn!! ☺️)
Just put my second crop of half length carrots today and 3rd of bush beans. Tomorrow the pickling cukes get a second planting though my May plants are still going strong. Thanks for another great video
I am a local herbalist in Oregon and I love your video. I know quite a bit about growing herbs, but now I'm trying my hand at food as well. Thank you so much for your enlightening, yet simple and easily understood video. Keep it up my friend!
God directed me to this video. Last night, I told my cousin, back in MI, (she did not get a spring garden in) that there are several plants, she could still get planted for this year. I told her I will look them up, and, get her a list. You just save me a lot of time on the later (fall planting) list. Thank you. 😁👍
Gotta thank you for this. My first ever year planting a second crop. I got swiss chard, spinach, romaine and broccoli all going strong in October ! The beans froze however. Had I used a hoop house..... I'd have had better luck. Next year watch out...the greenhouse will be complete! FYI zone 5 Canada
I am from MI and am now planting in CNY. Yes. Similar climate. I started my first ever garden there late, so I'm glad to see my Detroit Red beets (and a couple other veggies) are on his list! I'm seeing on the Google map that Port Huron is at about the same longitude as Niagara Falls.
You are right on point with the zucchinis not growing well in the summer. Everyone said zucchinis love the heat but mine have hated it. I live in the desert and I'm having a super tough time now that the summer is here and the temperatures are between 105-120 degrees daily. My plants are dying even under shade cloth. I'm currently looking for options to maintain the alive
Amazing information!!! I look forward to growing my fall crop. I’m in Arkansas and I have the Amaranth. It is growing amazingly in the hot hot weather. I have been so excited to watch it grow!!!
Super excited to receive our order of seeds today just as promised.. immediately planted 🐂 beet, pak Choi, amaranth, kohlrabi, purslane, and burgundy bush beans... thank you so much Luke for your green dedication and entertaining and informative videos.... looking forward to a great harvest 😋
Woo i havent had time to plant this year as we got ready for our third baby just born august 6! Love the content mommy can be with the baby and i can bring out my 3yo and 1yo to help me weed and get this garned ready!!
I have been growing amaranth in the flower beds, they are tall and beautiful; today I learned a lot about why and how to eat them! Learn so much from this fun gardener! Next time I need seeds, I will log into the website to support him and his family.
Thank you SO much for this! I'm very new to gardening, and was sorting through my fall seeds yesterday and set aside my broccoli because I figured it was too late. Now I'm excited to get it in the ground :) Thanks!
I was soooo encouraged by this episode! All the things I was going to plant and a couple I was considering we’re on the list of 20! I’m excited to try this new to me planting season and avoid some of the major stressors of summer! Thanks MIGardener!
Hi Luke, I have been binge watching your videos since I subscribed several weeks ago and just placed my first order with you. You have rekindled my gardening spirit! Not only that, my beds have never looked better after watching a bunch of your pruning videos! Thank you so much for all of the effort and time you put into your videos! Now that I have buttered you up, I have a request: Could you do a video that tries to sum up the major difference between gardening in MI vs CA? I live in the San Francisco Bay area and I know I should be able to grow most of the same crops that you are growing, and I have in fact, but planting dates, best varieties to grow, how drip watering affects the crops vs overhead watering and how big one can expect a plant to get are all things I have been wondering about. Thanks again for all you do!
Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I'm going to use your ideas in my garden. I also plant cover crops peas/oats, beans/oats in late july/August and rye in September.
Fifty years a gardener and I am still learning! Great video. I don’t always get it together, but I do have chard and brassica babies ready for planting. Some of this I knew, but some of this is new to me. Starting some zucchini and peas right now! Thank you.
I've been watching you for a very long time but never thought about getting seeds from you because I have an abundance from places like Walmart and the dollar store. They seem to do just fine for me but I am obsessed with your garden and the PASSION that you have for it. Alot of people look at me, like coworkers and family members and think I'm crazy because I came from a wild upbringing and I find gardening to be my yoga. Lol. I just wrote down your 20 things so I can start getting them ready possibly indoors in my greenhouse I have in my bay window with supplemental lighting. You're probably not gonna read this because I know this video is old but I just wanted to say within the next couple days I'm gonna be purchasing probably 15 at of the twenty from the list from you. And I also wanted to say thank you for helping me understand better on what to do in make my garden EXACTLY what I wanted it to be. Let's see if your seeds help make it better. Lol. Again Thank you and garden on my boy....
Sir ! I thank you.I am a newish gardener and had no idea we could plant all those wonderful vegetables at this time of year.I had been wondering,but was unsure.Thank you so much...you put in so much information,with your characteristic enthusiasim,and so much knowledge.I am so excited to hear all this today and so looking forward to prepare for this.Dear Luke my family all appreciate your efforts and your sincerety in always putting out these empowering videos.All the best to you and your family,and do know you partake great and valuable advice.Kind regards.
Wow! Maybe next year I’ll not plant until August! Honestly, the weather here now is so beautiful! I planted my second crop of turnips today and NOW looking forward to my other 2nd crops! I’m in Colorado so not so sure about cucumbers but I think I’ll try them!
I am a first time gardner but I have been growing de 18 jours radish in 90 degree temperatures. I do grow them in the shadiest spot in my yard though with the carrots.
Why do you look 19 in your thumb nail?? 😂😂 By the way, I used your Trifecta this year in my raised beds. Phenomenal. This stuff is no joke. Also, stay on top of weeds 10 fold. I left for a long weekend vacation, came home and I had 4 foot weed stalks! Plants LOVE IT! So do weeds! But why wouldnt they? Great stuff!
I like your spacing. The plants are really tall and healthy. They don't need extra horizontal space at the base. I bet those roots go down really deep under the raised beds!
Just pulled up my cucumber vines; dead to the heat of summer and a lack of watering. Never tried to grow them, or zucchini, in August. But, I am willing to give them a try. Just planted snow peas yesterday, here in zone 5 IL. Wouldn't either have thought of resowing dill. I've planted it in the community garden, and I guess I better plan on taking those seed heads off - though, I just need to make more pickles! Very good video!
You have an amazing garden! There are seeds I haven't even heard of and I would love it if you would come to my house and teach me how to do it in my back yard. I'm going to go try and plant a few of those now.
🏡 Keep trying, and that is how you find out what works in the area where you reside. I would say never use the whole seed package at once, plant some more 2 or 3 weeks later, in case something does not go as hoped for. 🏡 Then also learn how to save your own seeds from at least 2 plants of every kind. Most properly dried and properly stored seeds last years. Yes years. 🏡 Keep in labeled sturdy ziploc freezer bags, and store in a humidity proof, bug proof, rodent proof, hard container. Place in a cool or cold, dry, dark location. 🏞 Happy gardening to all, everyone and everywhere.
Here in GA spring and fall crops are tricky because we get about 2 weeks of both seasons. We had a frost mid April and it's been in the 90s for the past week.
Greetings from Prince Edward Island Canada. Your seeds are a top notch product. First time customer. The Luxury pumpkin is exploding. The Chocolate Cherry Sunflower was a big hit with the neighbours.
Keep your projects coming and keep teaching! Very interested in ph education on water and soil. Interested in making own soil with attention to ph both alkaline and acidic.
Such a great video! Thank you Luke. I am dealing with a 7b zone when I am used to growing in a 10 zone. Pretty much was on the verge of tears, lol, when I saw your video. I didn’t know what I could grow with only 56 days till possible first frost. Feeling encouraged and once again I am a happy gardener. Thanks to your instruction! As you say, “ Grow big or go home! “. 👍🌱
Looking forward to trying to plant all of these that you mentioned! We had so much rain in April through May that my spring crops of onions and beets didn't grow well at all in the no dig garden beds I made due to too much water. It usually is hot and dry here in DFW, TX during May. Discouraged and disappointed, but your videos inspire me to keep trying! thank you! :)
I am blessed with 1000's of Purslane plants here on our mini-farm in TN. It is even growing wild in our citrus tree pots on our decks behind the art studio. There is a Winter variety that you can grow that emerges in the Spring; have it too; love it!
So looks like i have been pulling purslane out of my garden all summer thinking it was an invasive weed! Well well well! I cannot believe this! just wow

While both are legumes, they are completely separate species.
I am always sad when I scroll through your website and everything is sold out but it makes me happy that such a kind person is doing well!
I know! His stuff is ALWAYS sold out
Big D mi is the best source ... investigate and you will figure out why
Usually people stock up and buy their seeds in early winter then keep them for at least 2 years or so. You just gotta snag seeds when ya can.
where are you growing? my nights are very hot I’m in the high desert in California but I will try some of these thank you for your informative vid loved it
Yeah I've been trying to get stuff for two years of well
As a forager, Im just happy to see purslane and amaranth considered as crops not weeds. 😁
I was always taught that, in some cases, a weed can merely be a plant that grows where you don't want it to.

Thanks! I am a struggling gardener but I don't want to give up! The amaranth surprised me. I will plant several of these things today.
I've recently sown out peas, bush beans, spinach, lamb's lettuce, winter purslane, chard, beets, lettuces, dill, parsley and carrots. I had no idea I could still plant pole beans, kohlrabi and cabbages! I still have seed packets left, so tomorrow I'm totally giving this a try. Thanks, Luke! :)
Great video very good to know there’s lots to plant to store for winter .I can feed the family this fall. I’m going to share this with my 44,700 subscribers in my videos later today. Thank you for sharing this great information my fellow Michigander.
For NC & SC, we'd have to push that timeline back about a month. It's still 97 degrees on 9 Aug. Too hot for some of those crops.
SC here. Its been so hot this summer.
This is true for Kansas too. We will be mid 90s all thru next week! But you can start a lot of the brassicas inside and transplant in 4-6 weeks. That is what I am trying this year. And I will be trying to grow lots and lots of carrots because I love fermented carrot sticks.
Not only that, but if you plant something like Cucumbers or Zucchinis right now in NC or lower, you'll be in for quite a fight with pickleworms unless you use row covers, which are just incredibly annoying to manage as you have to either raise and lower them everyday to let in pollinators, or you have to hand pollinate. Whatever advice you see here, make sure you consider that he's giving it for Michigan as every area has it's own taxonomy of pests and diseases in addition to the climate differences.
Nope nope nope... Here in Central Texas we will still be in the 90’s (praying it’s not in the 100’s in September!) No radishes, beets or many of these suggestions will work for Zone 8-10! Current temp is 100 and Tuesday brings 104! 🥵 We did just plant black eyed peas, cucumbers, basil, tomatoes, and beans! Thanks to shade cover we are still getting a sprinkling of squash and zucchini, peppers and the okra is loving the heat!
Same here in Florida. Way too hot to plant fall stuff.
Thanks for this, starting my first fall garden veggies this year! We have a short growing season so I’m hoping they all make it to maturity 🤞
This is what I'm planting today in WNY. Beets. Turnips. Beans. Radish. Cherry tomatoes. Carrots. Gonna try a few potatoes too. Almost forgot Brussels sprouts. Pull the whole plant out of the ground at frost. Hang upside down in your she'd and you'll be harvesting sweet brussell sprouts most of the winter.
Great info! Thank you for providing 99 cent seed packages. That good price really helps!
Thank you
From a fellow Midwesterner I absolutely love this video! Lots of great tips and ideas as my summer garden is starting to slow down and it'll be my first time attempting to grow things now for the fall! thank you for this =)
And if you live in zone 9 just wait another month before planting these crops. 100+ degrees Fahrenheit weather will kill most of these plants at their young age.
As I was watching this, I was thinking "Yep, so for here in Texas, this is September/early October plantings"
Yeah I'm in Texas.. it's going to be over a hundred degrees for the next 3 days so I'm going to wait until next week I guess. Maybe even the week after LOL.
Austin Jordan: And if you’re in Zone 5 just wait another 10 months to plant again because nothing in this video will succeed.
I agree. I'm in California. We're hot til mid October.
9? In zone 3/4 its way too late in August for starting anything that can't hack a hard frost... Because our average first hard frost is mid-september.
That was VERY helpful!! Thanks mate! ☺️👍♥️
(Zucchini would be what we in the UK call "courgettes" - I love those!! ☺️👍😋
"Bunching onions" I think must be what are sold in our supermarkets as "spring onions" - nice to know you can grow them still in late summer/autumn!! ☺️)
Yep this is great...this prompted me to start growing more in the second half of the season.
I love watching because I’m in Michigan so I learn more from you than other UA-cam ppl thank you for your content
I almost cried with joy at this news. Thank you!
Yep! Me too!
Just put my second crop of half length carrots today and 3rd of bush beans. Tomorrow the pickling cukes get a second planting though my May plants are still going strong.
Thanks for another great video
Thanks Luke! You are such a wonderful resource. Thanks so much for all that you do!
Well said! I agree!!
I am a local herbalist in Oregon and I love your video. I know quite a bit about growing herbs, but now I'm trying my hand at food as well. Thank you so much for your enlightening, yet simple and easily understood video. Keep it up my friend!
I love this video! Some people have no idea. So informative.
Zone 8a here. Replanting tomatoes. First crop burned up.We’ll get ‘maters in October🍅
God directed me to this video. Last night, I told my cousin, back in MI, (she did not get a spring garden in) that there are several plants, she could still get planted for this year. I told her I will look them up, and, get her a list. You just save me a lot of time on the later (fall planting) list. Thank you. 😁👍
Gotta thank you for this. My first ever year planting a second crop. I got swiss chard, spinach, romaine and broccoli all going strong in October ! The beans froze however. Had I used a hoop house..... I'd have had better luck. Next year watch out...the greenhouse will be complete! FYI zone 5 Canada
Thanks for the info & confidence I'm in upstate NY and assume a similar climate so in the ground the seeds go!
I am from MI and am now planting in CNY. Yes. Similar climate. I started my first ever garden there late, so I'm glad to see my Detroit Red beets (and a couple other veggies) are on his list! I'm seeing on the Google map that Port Huron is at about the same longitude as Niagara Falls.
You are right on point with the zucchinis not growing well in the summer. Everyone said zucchinis love the heat but mine have hated it. I live in the desert and I'm having a super tough time now that the summer is here and the temperatures are between 105-120 degrees daily. My plants are dying even under shade cloth. I'm currently looking for options to maintain the alive
The spinach and lettuce would be awesome in a wheelbarrow, nice and easy to move around.
What a brilliant idea, a ready made mobile planting bed...
I meant to do it this year but I need to start a garden notebook for quick reference..just in case power goes out
Amazing information!!! I look forward to growing my fall crop. I’m in Arkansas and I have the Amaranth. It is growing amazingly in the hot hot weather. I have been so excited to watch it grow!!!
Super excited to receive our order of seeds today just as promised.. immediately planted 🐂 beet, pak Choi, amaranth, kohlrabi, purslane, and burgundy bush beans... thank you so much Luke for your green dedication and entertaining and informative videos.... looking forward to a great harvest 😋
He always has such great information. I dig his style 😎 thanks for sharing
Woo i havent had time to plant this year as we got ready for our third baby just born august 6! Love the content mommy can be with the baby and i can bring out my 3yo and 1yo to help me weed and get this garned ready!!
Just planted some Sweet Pumpkins! My favorite August -> Autumn plant
Just planted a lot of my fall garden. God bless!
I have been growing amaranth in the flower beds, they are tall and beautiful; today I learned a lot about why and how to eat them! Learn so much from this fun gardener!
Next time I need seeds, I will log into the website to support him and his family.
are they invasive or do they "take over"? They are absolutely beautiful plants.
@@madelinestark6386 this is my first year growing them.
Thank you SO much for this! I'm very new to gardening, and was sorting through my fall seeds yesterday and set aside my broccoli because I figured it was too late. Now I'm excited to get it in the ground :) Thanks!
I enjoyed your video
Late getting my garden out this year but good to know there are many vegetables I can still grow!
Thank you!
I was soooo encouraged by this episode! All the things I was going to plant and a couple I was considering we’re on the list of 20! I’m excited to try this new to me planting season and avoid some of the major stressors of summer! Thanks MIGardener!
I hope you’re enjoying that nice weather! Here is Texas it’s been over 100 degrees all week so fall planting will have to wait a bit longer.
Hi Luke,
I have been binge watching your videos since I subscribed several weeks ago and just placed my first order with you. You have rekindled my gardening spirit! Not only that, my beds have never looked better after watching a bunch of your pruning videos! Thank you so much for all of the effort and time you put into your videos!
Now that I have buttered you up, I have a request: Could you do a video that tries to sum up the major difference between gardening in MI vs CA? I live in the San Francisco Bay area and I know I should be able to grow most of the same crops that you are growing, and I have in fact, but planting dates, best varieties to grow, how drip watering affects the crops vs overhead watering and how big one can expect a plant to get are all things I have been wondering about.
Thanks again for all you do!
Check out CaliKim's channel.
I would love it if summer would wind down!
Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I'm going to use your ideas in my garden. I also plant cover crops peas/oats, beans/oats in late july/August and rye in September.
Thank You. Goodness Grows🙌🏻🌸🙌🏻
Great ideas for fall Luke. If I can grow 50% of the seeds you suggested I will consider it a success. Thanks for sharing.
Fifty years a gardener and I am still learning! Great video. I don’t always get it together, but I do have chard and brassica babies ready for planting. Some of this I knew, but some of this is new to me. Starting some zucchini and peas right now! Thank you.
I've been watching you for a very long time but never thought about getting seeds from you because I have an abundance from places like Walmart and the dollar store. They seem to do just fine for me but I am obsessed with your garden and the PASSION that you have for it. Alot of people look at me, like coworkers and family members and think I'm crazy because I came from a wild upbringing and I find gardening to be my yoga. Lol. I just wrote down your 20 things so I can start getting them ready possibly indoors in my greenhouse I have in my bay window with supplemental lighting. You're probably not gonna read this because I know this video is old but I just wanted to say within the next couple days I'm gonna be purchasing probably 15 at of the twenty from the list from you. And I also wanted to say thank you for helping me understand better on what to do in make my garden EXACTLY what I wanted it to be. Let's see if your seeds help make it better. Lol. Again Thank you and garden on my boy....
You are the sweetest, I hope he reads your comment. I feel the same about gardening. I wish you the very best in everything
I wasn’t able to get my garden in and was bummed out. Now I believe I will try this. Thank you.
Perfect!! My first year planting a fall garden! I am thrilled I have so much I can grow!!
Sir ! I thank you.I am a newish gardener and had no idea we could plant all those wonderful vegetables at this time of year.I had been wondering,but was unsure.Thank you so much...you put in so much information,with your characteristic enthusiasim,and so much knowledge.I am so excited to hear all this today and so looking forward to prepare for this.Dear Luke my family all appreciate your efforts and your sincerety in always putting out these empowering videos.All the best to you and your family,and do know you partake great and valuable advice.Kind regards.
What's next? What do you to prepare for winter? Looking forward to that video.
Wow! Maybe next year I’ll not plant until August! Honestly, the weather here now is so beautiful! I planted my second crop of turnips today and NOW looking forward to my other 2nd crops! I’m in Colorado so not so sure about cucumbers but I think I’ll try them!
I absolutely love how passionate you are! Thank you for inspiring me.
I am a first time gardner but I have been growing de 18 jours radish in 90 degree temperatures. I do grow them in the shadiest spot in my yard though with the carrots.
I just planted my Migardener beets last week 😁 I'll be purchasing the others on the list today. Thank you for sharing
Thanks Luke! Just ordered beet seeds from you, got them a couple days ago, and just planted them today! But, obviously we need to do more! - Mike
Why do you look 19 in your thumb nail?? 😂😂 By the way, I used your Trifecta this year in my raised beds. Phenomenal. This stuff is no joke. Also, stay on top of weeds 10 fold. I left for a long weekend vacation, came home and I had 4 foot weed stalks! Plants LOVE IT! So do weeds! But why wouldnt they? Great stuff!
I like your spacing. The plants are really tall and healthy. They don't need extra horizontal space at the base. I bet those roots go down really deep under the raised beds!
I just bought some seeds to start for August.
Just pulled up my cucumber vines; dead to the heat of summer and a lack of watering. Never tried to grow them, or zucchini, in August. But, I am willing to give them a try. Just planted snow peas yesterday, here in zone 5 IL. Wouldn't either have thought of resowing dill. I've planted it in the community garden, and I guess I better plan on taking those seed heads off - though, I just need to make more pickles! Very good video!
You have an amazing garden! There are seeds I haven't even heard of and I would love it if you would come to my house and teach me how to do it in my back yard. I'm going to go try and plant a few of those now.
🏡 Keep trying, and that is how you find out what works in the area where you reside. I would say never use the whole seed package at once, plant some more 2 or 3 weeks later, in case something does not go as hoped for.
🏡 Then also learn how to save your own seeds from at least 2 plants of every kind. Most properly dried and properly stored seeds last years. Yes years.
🏡 Keep in labeled sturdy ziploc freezer bags, and store in a humidity proof, bug proof, rodent proof, hard container. Place in a cool or cold, dry, dark location.
🏞 Happy gardening to all, everyone and everywhere.
Heck in LALA LAND we were 90° in October, your talking about freezing LOL
Planning my first fall Garden. Thank you for this video!!
Here in GA spring and fall crops are tricky because we get about 2 weeks of both seasons. We had a frost mid April and it's been in the 90s for the past week.
It's beginning to cool down. Yesterday it was 99 this up coming week tops out at 80 . Right now it's 68 😍
Greetings from Prince Edward Island Canada. Your seeds are a top notch product. First time customer. The Luxury pumpkin is exploding. The Chocolate Cherry Sunflower was a big hit with the neighbours.
Keep your projects coming and keep teaching! Very interested in ph education on water and soil. Interested in making own soil with attention to ph both alkaline and acidic.
I like to plant Arugula in fall as a great antioxidant
Such a great video! Thank you Luke. I am dealing with a 7b zone when I am used to growing in a 10 zone. Pretty much was on the verge of tears, lol, when I saw your video. I didn’t know what I could grow with only 56 days till possible first frost. Feeling encouraged and once again I am a happy gardener. Thanks to your instruction! As you say, “ Grow big or go home! “. 👍🌱
Looking forward to trying to plant all of these that you mentioned! We had so much rain in April through May that my spring crops of onions and beets didn't grow well at all in the no dig garden beds I made due to too much water. It usually is hot and dry here in DFW, TX during May. Discouraged and disappointed, but your videos inspire me to keep trying! thank you! :)
Great content and good tips! I will be starting my fall garden in a few weeks: Carrots, Beets, Lettuce, Turnips, Kale, and Sugar Snap Peas.
I am blessed with 1000's of Purslane plants here on our mini-farm in TN. It is even growing wild in our citrus tree pots on our decks behind the art studio. There is a Winter variety that you can grow that emerges in the Spring; have it too; love it!
Great content! Definitely love gardening and am happy to know it doesn't have to end with summer. So glad I found your videos!
So looks like i have been pulling purslane out of my garden all summer thinking it was an invasive weed! Well well well! I cannot believe this! just wow
I know there is a weed that looks like it
I didn’t even know about some of these! So wonderful to learn so much! 🌱🌱🌱👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😃🌱🌱🌱
You are reading my mind. 😀 Thanks for the info and encouragement.
Sad, here still 100 degrees day time, high 70's at night. Frost in January, 6 months from now. 😟
