Thanks, Scott. Cool Season - Warm Season is a good topic. Old timers used to talk about it. Thanks for keeping the wisdom circulating. I have seen many seed packets that do not mention this.
I start a new job gardening tomorrow, and your videos are an absolute WEALTH of knowledge, thank you Gardener Scott for helping me get even more excited and prepared :):)
That was so great I'm going to try just a little of everything. Its going to be a learning deal for me thank you so much for what you do I love it when I get to watch your channel
I watched this twice now, once to listen and the second time to take notes. Thank you, you explained it very well. I think that I have a lot of experimenting to do to see what will work for me. My country does not have much info for gardeners, weather predictions are vague and normally inaccurate, our seed packets have very little information on them and first/last frost dates? You have to figure it out for yourself. I live on the northern side of a large ridge in the southern hemisphere, this affects my climate to a great degree. I am also gardening in wooden containers so this changes my soil temperature. I think, after watching your video on overcoming challenges, that I should get a soil thermometer and then just experiment with all sorts of seeds until I find what works in this micro-climate and macro-climate. Your videos are really helping me understand the basics of gardening, no matter where or how. Thank you!
Thank you Scott, Your video was great and helped me out a lot. I think I know a lot but every time I watch one of you videos I learn more keep up the great work. thank you!!!!
Another cold, wet , nasty day outside . So I am watching videos and dreaming of spring. I will do cool season crops later at the end of summer. Still working on amending the soil in my garden areas.
Thankyou. It took me three seasons to figure it out .now I have you in my corner.i had 2. Garden Channel now I have 3 of the most . Experienced knowledgeable and the most important thing given the reason why you should be doing this this way.i thankyou for that..looking forward to seeing your garden on your channel. I watched your a video on the Galileo school garden.I think that was a grate idea.I think all schools need to. Incorporate how to grow your own food.i grow mine in my back yeard 20x10feet not big but I now have a appreciate the food an the real tast of it. An the different varieties. P.s . You did a great job on Galileo school garden wow wow .
I mulched all my beds last fall with a leafy wood chip mulch I’m getting ready to seed and am pulling the thick mulch back. I’ll use compost from my forest before I seed my beds then put a light covering of mulch on top. After I’m done I’ll do a light hand watering. Thanks for you and your Master-gardening tips. Just turned 80 on May 3 and this is my 2nd ever garden and as it happens my 2nd COVID-19 edible garden 🪴 Cmacediblegardens. Dundas on
Great information as usual!!! One question, which level of shade cloth do you use or do you use a variety? I was going to try a 50% cloth, but that is just a shot in the dark. No rhyme, reason, past experience, or science behind it. Out on the Colorado plains @ 4000' above sea level I would like to have a plan in place to keep the cool weather crops growing a bit longer.
It depends on the reason. I use 30% to shade my cucumbers and squash at the height of summer. I use 50% to shade lettuce, spinach, and other cool season plants before they bolt. I'm at 7000' outside Colorado Springs.
I bought a chocolate cherry tomato plant back in the spring when it was only 6 inches all. It's now a very bushy plant with lots of tomatoes growing on it. I haven't pruned it back much because I'm treating it more as a decorative plant. My question is can I bring it inside when the weather turns cold? It's in a container. And if it survives the winter will it bear baby tomatoes next year. I have growing lights to help it along.
hello scott good information thank tou , can you give me advice when i have to plant my savooi cale and brussels sprouts ? i buy the little seedlings on the local market ; now i have my summerplants and not much place for my wintercrops , till what time i have to wait to plant them ?
Kale should be planted 6-8 weeks before the first frost in fall. Brussels Sprouts take longer to grow and should be started about two months before the first frost.
Definitely. I use shade cloth over my cool season plants when I plant them in late summer. They can handle an early frost, but they don't do well in the heat.
It often depends on how quickly your spring weather warms up. With a gradual warm up there is usually plenty of time to start seeds outside and grow to harvest. In my Colorado garden it can stay cold for a long time and then warm up quickly. For weather like that, starting indoors means plants will be bigger and ready for transplant when the outside garden is ready.
I like the rule of 50 and I'll use that. I think it is easier to understand and grow the warm weather crops, but it might be more useful to understand the cold weather crops that are more resilient.
Love all your videos sir, I’m actually started a few months ago with 3 8x4 raised beds. This whole pandemic thing. It was my lockdown DIY project. I digress, now I’m adding 2 more beds. But yes thank you for your advice, this is my crash course to becoming a gardener. I have a couple of questions if you have time. First one, before this year (haven’t really done research on planting) I’ve planted trees at the backyard. Just saw your videos about “not looking at the future” and it makes me a little worried, that those trees might be too close (3 ft) to the backyard fence (brick wall) and that they’re too close to each other about 6ft apart. Should I be worried? Thank you in advance
Thanks, Gerald. It depends on the type of tree. Research how big they will grow and that can help you decide. My guess is they are too close to each other.

this guys knows so much about plants, awesome channel dude
Excellent information for gardeners that live in zones 5 and 6 in western states.
Thank you Scott, your videos are terrific, the garden info, and your voice clear and for us older folks, you don't talk a mile a minute.
I'm glad you find them helpful, Johnny. Thanks for a nice comment.
I needed to hear a basic discussion like this!
Glad I could help. 🙂

I hope warm days come soon.
Like this! I was wondering when I can put my seedlings out, and need to wait.
Thanks. A little patience can go a long way. 🙂

Sure, bringing it in will prolong its life. It may need more light indoors to bear fruit, but it can be done.

Will shade cloth work abouhgt 70%uv so it is much cooler .
Definitely. I use shade cloth over my cool season plants when I plant them in late summer. They can handle an early frost, but they don't do well in the heat.
@@GardenerScott good to no. I killed so many plans lastyear. trial-and-error
So I mite plant them later .thankyou
Is july ok to plant this
It depends on your climate. In my Zone 5b garden, late July and August can be a good time to start cool season plants.
@@GardenerScott thankyou
? GREAT INFO! Question: I'm in zone 6B. Is it best to grow any cool season seedlings for transplanting or to just sow seeds in ground? Thx.
It often depends on how quickly your spring weather warms up. With a gradual warm up there is usually plenty of time to start seeds outside and grow to harvest. In my Colorado garden it can stay cold for a long time and then warm up quickly. For weather like that, starting indoors means plants will be bigger and ready for transplant when the outside garden is ready.
@@GardenerScott thank you for clarifying. Here in Southern Illinois, it is, as you said, cold and then turns hot quickly.
I like the rule of 50 and I'll use that. I think it is easier to understand and grow the warm weather crops, but it might be more useful to understand the cold weather crops that are more resilient.
I'm glad you found it useful, Daniel.

Ordered my seeds last night. MIgardener.com.
Glad to hear it. Hope you have a great growing season.
