Thanks for posting the list John. It makes me crazy when he doesn’t include a list of what he talks about in the video info. It’s lazy! And he is missing a sales opportunity by not linking out to his specific products - i.e. the seeds he talks about in his video. Not sure why he doesn’t - but I appreciate you doing this! Thank you!
Here in the Netherlands, where kale is such a staple winterfood. It’s common to harvest your kale after the first frost. Because of the frost they taste really improves, it has to do with the kale producing sugars as some kind anti freeze.
I grew Burpee's Curly Kale behind the annual flowers in front of my suburban home north of Detroit for years. I would go out in slippers, shake the snow off the plants, then cut the top leaves for salads and the bottom leaves for cooked dishes. The plants would only die back in about February, but the underground root would send up a fresh plant in April. Wonderful nutrition.
I know that this video is a year ago. I just started my garden in June of 2021. I started buying my basic supplies as soon as gardening supplies were on the shelves. I have a smal garden but it is growing well right now.
A great way to get seeds for your garden next year is save seeds from your veggies from this year’s garden. I always save seeds from my favorite tomatoes, cakes, beans,etc…
@@kimmieRH05 Heck go buy some nice ripe produce from the store and get some seeds out. I have a very successful egg plant this year from one I bought in the veggie isle.
I started growing cilantro micro-greens. It was a flop, so I dumped them in my garden and up they came. I ate them when they were very little, like a micro-green and they were awesome. And it takes very little time for them to get that size (about 4-6 inches high). What goes to seed, just save the seeds and start over.
Living in Western North Carolina in the Appalachian Mountains, our growing season closely mirrors yours. Your channel helps me more than any other gardening channel on youtube.
I'm in eastern Kentucky (also in the Appalachian Mountains, but on the other side) and our season is really close too. My first and last frost dates are very close to his (and probably yours too!). It makes it easier to not have to translate his suggested planting times, which is nice. Hope you've been having good luck with your garden this year!
Alabama here. Thankyou so much for this video. I purchased organic pole beans yesterday, in hopes of getting them in the ground next spring. I planted bush beans this past spring and we had close to 50 inches of rain from January until just a few days ago. Everything drowned. I just planted the pole beans and will plant snow peas in a bit. I will plant kale later today, not for us but for the chickens to have great eating during the winter. This video has encouraged me to look well beyond my thoughts.
Funny we can’t kill our chives haven’t watered them in years still growing in a 16” pot on the back porch been almost 20 years since I planted them. Love your shows Christopher & Rhonda Cincinnati Ohio
One of my chinese friends recommended planting bok choi in September. Like some of the other leafy plants, it tastes better in cooler weather (and bolts quickly in hot weather). It's also on my list for this fall.
@@charleskelm3703 Insect damage might not be as big an issue in cooler weather, especially in cooler regions & protect against groundhogs & rabbits. You can use nonpoisonous bug repellents like home made sprays of insecticidal soaps made of non GMO vegetable oils + non-detergent liquid dish soaps or castile soaps. First, spray hard with a hose nozzle to squash & dislodge insects & then follow up with a soapy, oily fine spray to soak & smother aphids, eggs,& larvae if all kinds, so beware of killing beneficial insects in various stages if possible, & hand pick or use alcohol on a cotton swab to get at clusters of aphids, etc.
LUKE!!! My watermelons ripened, and are HUGE!!! TRIFECTA PLUS BABEEEEE!!!!💪🏻 My wife's getting jealous, cuz I got a severe bromance going on with you!! 👍🏻👍🏻 Hope Sindy isn't mad at me. 😁
As always...great info. Chased away the "O, no, winter is coming and everything is going to die" blues 😀 Just to know we can keep on gardening is too awesome! Thank you so much 💕. Ms Pat from southern Indiana
Luke, you do an amazing job explaining for newbies and suggesting the best options for all levels. Immediately subscribed because other YTers never really taught me what I needed to know. Just watching 3 of your videos has helped me to figure out several of my problems (in NW Arkansas zone 6B) with cilantro, peas, spinach and broccoli never gave good harvest. And NOW I know that they are all heat haters. What??? Your knowledge of the benefits was amazing. Purslane is something I will definitely research and try (I think I had some growing and I thought it was a weed). Thank you SOOO much for excellent channel and content. HUGS!
Indiana urban farm guy here, after one of your videos I started germinating beats, carrots, and spinach in early August. Thanks for the info and inspiration. After this video I will try radish and the onions
September is the beginning of our main growing season in South Louisiana! Brassicas, roots, all salad greens, beans, herbs and more. Eggplant and okra are still going strong from the summer garden. This year I'm expecting a second fruiting of sweet peppers and for the first time I'll have fresh tomato seedlings to try for a fall crop.
I am in Slidell, Louisiana and new to gardening. Can you give me some things that should do well planted in grow bags and beds right now or soon. Can they be planted directly in the garden or do I have to start inside? I would appreciate any info you would share. Thanks 😊
@@kathymcgathy4579 Right now it's still a little hot to plant most things directly in the ground (or bag) but you could try a few bush beans (read the packet to see if they need to be soaked first) and collards and beets if you like them. I have some fall crops in the ground under shade cloth but I started them indoors - broccoli raab and some Asian greens. If you ever want to see my setup, I'm in a community garden in mid-city and I have a pretty flexible schedule. I tend to go there after 5 when it cools and is still light. In a few weeks you'll be able to plant all kinds of salad greens and winter stuff like broccoli, Brussels sprouts, carrots, cabbage, cauliflower, kale and a whole host of others so I'd recommend starting those seedlings now (except for the carrots - I can show you a couple of starting methods for those if you give me your email.) Start them indoors so you can control the conditions. There are some great UA-camrs to help with that: NextLevelGardening and Roots and Refuge Farm are two I follow.
My spinach already reseeded itself from this spring, in fact we just harvested some for dinner last night. Bought premiere spinach from you and we absolutely love it. Already planning next yrs garden and getting ready to place a seed order with you. Would love to see Mrs. Migardener do a cooking video of some of the things you harvest.
First time grown climbing spinach. I planted 15 seeds but only one came up and its climbing over 4' 2 climbing vines. I plan on bring it in for winter,and 4 tomato plants too.
Thanks for pointing out that beans make a good cover crop even if they don't grow all the way to maturity. I've got a bare spot in my garden that could use a cover crop. If the beans make it before the frosts hit, then it's a bonus. :D
I just got my seeds and am so excited to try a fall garden! Love the homestead packaging, beautiful artwork. I'll be saving those packages to use as wallpaper one day.
Thank you so much for another wonderful video. I learned quite a bit, going to get started planting for fall. I don't comment very much but I sure watch your videos love them have a great rest of the Year and may God bless you and yours
It's widespread belief here in the Netherlands that Kale gets better after the frost got over it. It's not necessary for a great harvest but it gets sweeter.
This is great! I have beans, recently planted spinach, I have my kale still going, swiss chard still going, obvious perennials like lovage, herbs, french sorrel. My zucchini and summer squash still doing great since it's been so warm here.
Love the bean tip of nurturing the soil if you don't get any beans! This video is super helpful as I am gardening on the PNW (southern Oregon) coast, our year round temps are fairly mild, night and day!
I love in Florida. I started my Fall garden in August and I am planting 2 more crops each weekend to stagger throughout. Hopefully Las Palmas wont wash us away 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Luke thank you for this priceless Information. I appreciate when you state the date of the video and what you suggest for people In warmer or colder areas. I know you are in MI, I live in Northern FL. So I use suggestions later on the calendar year. Love when you mess up In camera! Lol
Hey Luke! I'm playing with some purple basil. I planted it 2 weeks ago and it's germinated and growing. I think I can pull off a harvest over here in NY before frost!
Good timing. A day or two ago and now I was thinking about what I can grow for winter as I had never grown in colder temps before thanks for the info. Love ya ❤️.
Not just feed your family, but also have a way to stay fit, even while growing healthy food! And, all that stretching, pulling, lifting, etc. increases endorphins, keeping us happy!
I over wintered bunching onion last fall in 6b FFD 10/15, they are still growing. I used a cold frame and harvesting delicious greens from them ever since established . I've pulled out some as well in between and cut others to the ground and they come again. Sow them densely.
Just planted the last of the spinach seeds that I had. Whatever comes of it, it will be the 3rd crop in my garden boxes this year . Will plant the garlic to overwinter next.
Nasturtiums like 65 to 55 degrees. They are terrific in salads, and bring the pollinators to assist with bean pollination. Have rabbits and deer? Plant nastutiums as a protective border. Bee balm, and hyssop both are frost hardy if established before frost. They will over winter and get your pollinators regularly as perfinals to your garden. Just place them away from main rows where food will go if you want them as perrinials.
I'm sowing a whole bunch of old seeds to help add organic matter & like a cover crop to the clay soil as I've added new areas to the garden. It will give me more food for the chickens & the compost.
I started my beans late in the front garden this year and they are growing like Jack and the Beanstalk. Radishes - YES. Spinach yes, what about swiss chard and other greens, romaine, green lettuce, etc.?? What about sun blocker cloth to protect. I am right at the edge of those temps. You answered a lot of these questions so thanks - blocker cloth?
You could always grow some hydroponic tomatoes indoors. They might not be as tasty, but it is nice in the winter to have something growing, even just for fun!!
Thanks for all your helpful info. I watch and LIKE your channel all the time! You do a great job and I love your enthusiasm. I live southern Indiana and am now getting zucchinis, okra, cucumber and late tomatoes. Oh, and beans. I also recently planted Swiss Chard, lettuces, radishes and spinach! I LOVE gardening! Keep up the good work!
Luke I am growing brassicas right now In my garden beds all the other vegetables you named In your video I am going to start In about a month I wish you lots of Luck In your fall garden season
I have lettuce ready to start. I'm not a big fan of arrugala but my lettuce will do fine for quite awhile. Got the beans, peas, some carrots going and will start spinach soon, after the hurricane. Garlic going in mid to end of September. Got bunching onions all over, harvest as I need. Really hope we don't get slammed with an early frost.
Here in the U.K. Land Cress & Sorrel also do well all winter. I was picking cavalo Nero kale all last winter even when it was minus 10 here. Cut it right down in spring and it came right back up.
Helpful...thanks! Now I know why I gave up on fall plantings- too impatient. It’s still in the 80s here in August. Will start some greens under lights, but wait until mid-September to put them out.
Lesson learned I hope haha. You'll get better if you havent already. I did too and I've actually done well with some difficult ones. Things work out when they NEED to that's what matters most !! God bless continued success to you!
Mine took FOREVER ERR to get past 2 inches tall (I planted seeds) then the ones that didn't die, are still clinging to life but have gotten taller & thicker now👍
Yep, my lone zucchini plant was a dud. A local farmer teased me by saying, “You know what they say, ‘if you can’t grow zucchini’...” . But to our credit, the eggplant next to it is going crazy!
I spent hours gardening this season. Just as soon the frost was gone I started planning. I planted tomatoes, peppers, watermelons, cantaloupes, cucumbers, tons of different herbs, lettuce, and spinach. Out of the insane amount of time and money I put in the ground I harvested 7 tomatoes, and a quarter sized watermelon.
@@gabbygertie8709 It felt like I was get punk'd honestly. I added plant food and nitrogen fertilizer to melons, but just weren't having it. The 1 cucumber plant that did well only produced male flowers. I had I huge, strong, healthy tomato plant. But it absolutely refused to flower, like at all. And the as for the leafy vegetables and herbs; I learned the hard way that they grow better in the fall here in zone 7
This is a really good video and I shared it with my family.We’re all Gardeners’ ❤️. Plus this also so informative Great to know about arugula and cilantro Thanks !!
Thank you always very informative video. I plant 2 weeks ago radish, kohlrabi, carrots. So far they look very healthy. I'm also getting ready to transplant broccoli and cauliflower seedlings. I'm planning to protect them using floating row cover when the temperature really get cold.
My night temperatures are in the high 30s to low 40s and frost isn't uncommon this time of year so temperature will probably drop soon. I'm hoping to have success with kale, other leafy greens, and radishes. 🤞🤞
I thought you would mention mache. Here in Montana it's cool enough to plant this wonderful crop now. Days in the 60s, nights in the 40s. Mache is delicious and grows well up to 68 degrees. Can grow all winter if protected under cover. I grow mine in a low tunnel.
Thank You, Luke.....I do enjoy your video's and you give a lot of good information even tho I do not live in your area. I live in East Texas & I adapt your information to my growing area. Keep up the good work......
Was looking for stuff to plant in my late start Arkansas garden and for some reason jumped when he used it as an example. Felt like he was looking right at me!
What do you use btw your rows to keep grass from taking over? Gardening is my ‘happy place.’ It’s therapeutic in so many ways. It allows me to get out of my own headspace, for lack of a better explanation. Sadly, I have Lupus, Sjogren’s disease, fibromyalgia, & osteoarthritis combined with neuropathy. As an added hellish bonus, I am currently going a series of tests to find out if I have an impinged nerve somewhere btw my lower spine that shoots down into my hip, right leg, calf, ankle, foot. I’ve ended up in the ER twice since December. Even when this pain is down to a low roar, I’m randomly plagued with autoimmune diseases flare up. These can leave me bedridden, for all intents & purposes, for a week, sometimes longer. My family, doctors, & even neighbors can hardly believe how well my garden grows. When I’m able to get back in the garden, I’m fighting grass btw the rows needing to be removed. I have relapsed back into a flare just trying to catch up. I grow a summer & winter garden plus herb & raised bed. On July 1st of this year, I started the first of two worm bin composting. Since fire ants are a constant fight in the garden & the outdoor compost pile, I decided to keep them in the laundry room. One bin will be harvested soon. It has the most fertile looking casting! The second bin isn’t too far behind. The first bin has 2lbs of red wigglers. I’ve named that bin the “Group W Bin” as a play on Arlo Guthrie’s Alice’s Restaurant. 😁🤣😂😆 Any tips are welcome.
It is still 98 degrees in Georgia! The whole state refuses to autumn for me. 😆 I'm fighting back by growing peas, broccoli, and kale in the shade! Shade veg gardens are becoming my forte because of this stupid heat. 😊
Yep, Georgia has been crazy hot this summer. It killed off most of my balcony garden, but my tomatoes and peppers are producing new leaves and flowering again now that the heat has eased off a bit! Hoping to get a second crop since the first was SO bad.
Yes it's definitely hot here in Florida. I have a lot more peppers, tomatoes, and cucumbers plants still going and some are producing now. It's weird here with the seasons. We don't always get a real frost. A lot of time during winter, we get a cold weather then the next day it's back up in the 80's. So, I heard that I can grow my peppers and tomatoes all year round.
Very much appreciated you throwing out temperatures of what the plants can withstand. Right now in early September, Northeast Louisiana we are still having 100 degree days, no wonder my tomatoes are acting funny. Is there anything I can do for my cilantro to keep it from dying off?
Purple choy sum is nice flavor. Japanese chives are mild and nice easy grower. Flowering brassica is broccoli flavor nice. Some may call it sprouting broccoli or flowering broccoli.take care.
Crud!! I planted radishes in Mississippi 10 days ago. I wonder if they'll just die off? Oh and thank you for mentioning southern states! I usually have to guess when to apply northern tips to South Mississippi
Valerie- I'm always researching when to plant what in Eastern mid state MS. Seems like if you blink, Spring is gone. Same with Fall! When you think Winter will be over, it lasts into April. Blink again and summer high 90's is here! Doesn't help that I have to keep moving garden due to nasty Nut Sedga. Lol! Hope you're having better success!
I’m in rural San Diego. What I’ve noticed about garlic and onions is it really doesn’t drop below 50 that often in the winter time for us . There’re has been a few freeze days but not many .
My Scarlet Runners and Lima's I planted in spring are still producing a ton. I have some radishes growing as well, I am not sure I planted them deep enough as the roots seem thin and stemmy. I should start some spinach; I do have kale and lettuce going. I am about to to buy some mustard greens after watching this. I am going to put in some garlic, potato onions, and walking onions this weekend in my....wild area garden, which is sort of an experiemental area for me where I plan to grow some perennial varieties . I am going to plant some perennial kale and sunchokes as well. Not entirely sure the best time to plant them but I'm gonna go with fall. I also have an overwintering purple broccoli variety I am trying out. I NEVER have good luck with broccoli, cauliflower, or head cabbage. I think I always plant it too close but they just take up so much room.

I hear that is the same with carrots. They get a little sweeter after the 1st frost
Collards harvested after frost taste much better too
I knew some cannabis growers back in the 70s who noticed their crops seemed stronger & more flavorful after going through light fall frosts. 😊

Mizuna grows so well. I grew some in March and now again in Aug and they're so quick to grow.

It's also a great crop to harvest and eat young. If you prevent it from bolting by cutting it back it will keep going for months.
I just got my seeds and am so excited to try a fall garden! Love the homestead packaging, beautiful artwork. I'll be saving those packages to use as wallpaper one day.

I'm sowing a whole bunch of old seeds to help add organic matter & like a cover crop to the clay soil as I've added new areas to the garden.
It will give me more food for the chickens & the compost.
For South Florida, now is the time I would start tomato seeds indoor to bring outside in mid-October.
I started my beans late in the front garden this year and they are growing like Jack and the Beanstalk. Radishes - YES. Spinach yes, what about swiss chard and other greens, romaine, green lettuce, etc.?? What about sun blocker cloth to protect. I am right at the edge of those temps. You answered a lot of these questions so thanks - blocker cloth?
Thank you my garden got ripped off but it won't next spring or fall thanks to your tips today and all of the other great videos too.
@@whothefoxcares thank you what will the hemp do?

You could always grow some hydroponic tomatoes indoors. They might not be as tasty, but it is nice in the winter to have something growing, even just for fun!!
Thanks for all your helpful info. I watch and LIKE your channel all the time! You do a great job and I love your enthusiasm. I live southern Indiana and am now getting zucchinis, okra, cucumber and late tomatoes. Oh, and beans. I also recently planted Swiss Chard, lettuces, radishes and spinach! I LOVE gardening! Keep up the good work!
I’m ready to level up my salad game 👍🏻😁
I missed summer this year but I'm all in for a winter garden, great video and selection of veggies, thanks!
I'm taking these ideas for August planting since my zone gets frost and snow early September 🙃
I'm the opposite, I took the August ones for September, it doesn't get down to the 70s till late September in my area
Luke I love your energy. Love from the UK x
I paused this video and planted some sugar snap peas 👍🏻😎✨
Ya'll are awesome‼️ 🌱🎋
Luke I am growing brassicas right now In my garden beds all the other vegetables you named In your video I am going to start In about a month I wish you lots of Luck In your fall garden season
I have lettuce ready to start. I'm not a big fan of arrugala but my lettuce will do fine for quite awhile. Got the beans, peas, some carrots going and will start spinach soon, after the hurricane. Garlic going in mid to end of September. Got bunching onions all over, harvest as I need. Really hope we don't get slammed with an early frost.
Here in the U.K. Land Cress & Sorrel also do well all winter.
I was picking cavalo Nero kale all last winter even when it was minus 10 here. Cut it right down in spring and it came right back up.
Thanks for all your Information. I planted a container organic garden on my porch.
Matthew 11:28 KJV
Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
Helpful...thanks! Now I know why I gave up on fall plantings- too impatient. It’s still in the 80s here in August. Will start some greens under lights, but wait until mid-September to put them out.
This video: Bunching onions are hard to kill
First crop I ever killed: Bunching onions
Even though I never grew bunching onions, you deserved a thumbs up!
LOL!!! Your comment cracked me up & so did all the responses!!😂😭😹
Lesson learned I hope haha. You'll get better if you havent already. I did too and I've actually done well with some difficult ones. Things work out when they NEED to that's what matters most !! God bless continued success to you!
Mine took FOREVER ERR to get past 2 inches tall (I planted seeds) then the ones that didn't die, are still clinging to life but have gotten taller & thicker now👍
Yep, my lone zucchini plant was a dud. A local farmer teased me by saying, “You know what they say, ‘if you can’t grow zucchini’...” . But to our credit, the eggplant next to it is going crazy!
I spent hours gardening this season. Just as soon the frost was gone I started planning.
I planted tomatoes, peppers, watermelons, cantaloupes, cucumbers, tons of different herbs, lettuce, and spinach. Out of the insane amount of time and money I put in the ground I harvested 7 tomatoes, and a quarter sized watermelon.
Test your soil. We found after a poor growing season we had absolutely no nitrogen in our garden soil. This year the tomatoes and beans went nuts.
@@gabbygertie8709 It felt like I was get punk'd honestly. I added plant food and nitrogen fertilizer to melons, but just weren't having it. The 1 cucumber plant that did well only produced male flowers.
I had I huge, strong, healthy tomato plant. But it absolutely refused to flower, like at all.
And the as for the leafy vegetables and herbs; I learned the hard way that they grow better in the fall here in zone 7
This is a really good video and I shared it with my family.We’re all Gardeners’ ❤️. Plus this also so informative Great to know about arugula and cilantro Thanks !!
I’ll have to try mustard greens, kale, and arugula. Thanks for the tips.
Thank you always very informative video. I plant 2 weeks ago radish, kohlrabi, carrots. So far they look very healthy. I'm also getting ready to transplant broccoli and cauliflower seedlings. I'm planning to protect them using floating row cover when the temperature really get cold.
this is the cutest thing ive ever seen in my life
Thank you so much for this video!!! I am so excited to get some more crops in before the frost!
Planted most of what you suggest this week. Some I knew, some I learned. Thanks!
My night temperatures are in the high 30s to low 40s and frost isn't uncommon this time of year so temperature will probably drop soon. I'm hoping to have success with kale, other leafy greens, and radishes. 🤞🤞
Mustard green steamed in chicken broth with ginger root slices. Yum! And you can freeze it and heat it. 🤤
Good news luke my turnips are almost ready to be harvested
I thought you would mention mache. Here in Montana it's cool enough to plant this wonderful crop now. Days in the 60s, nights in the 40s. Mache is delicious and grows well up to 68 degrees. Can grow all winter if protected under cover. I grow mine in a low tunnel.
Tennis ball Lettuce started in August. Very good.
Our plant season for planting all of those veggies is late November!? Or late February.. What a place to live.. Texas folks..
Thank You, Luke.....I do enjoy your video's and you give a lot of good information even tho I do not live in your area. I live in East Texas & I adapt your information to my growing area. Keep up the good work......
Thanks for sharing l will start in September l love garlic and mustard and kale happy growing
In TN Chard turnips carrots beets
Yeah Michigan! Things grow great up there!
Thanks Luke☺️
I 💙 green beans 😋!! I like to pickle them. So delicious 😋!!
Turnips, cabbage and beets are great crops too
I'm going to have to try this! I've got a ton of space to plant stuff!
He always gets me pumped to get out in the garden. He's like a gardening "inspirational coach".
Was looking for stuff to plant in my late start Arkansas garden and for some reason jumped when he used it as an example. Felt like he was looking right at me!
ARRUGULA ...... Sounds like the horn blast of a 1920s model T
😂😂😂
Lol
Haha so true!
Haha
no thats "Ooga"!
Great video Luke!! Love that you explained all the seeds and what to expect!
What do you use btw your rows to keep grass from taking over? Gardening is my ‘happy place.’ It’s therapeutic in so many ways. It allows me to get out of my own headspace, for lack of a better explanation.
Sadly, I have Lupus, Sjogren’s disease, fibromyalgia, & osteoarthritis combined with neuropathy. As an added hellish bonus, I am currently going a series of tests to find out if I have an impinged nerve somewhere btw my lower spine that shoots down into my hip, right leg, calf, ankle, foot. I’ve ended up in the ER twice since December. Even when this pain is down to a low roar, I’m randomly plagued with autoimmune diseases flare up. These can leave me bedridden, for all intents & purposes, for a week, sometimes longer. My family, doctors, & even neighbors can hardly believe how well my garden grows. When I’m able to get back in the garden, I’m fighting grass btw the rows needing to be removed. I have relapsed back into a flare just trying to catch up. I grow a summer & winter garden plus herb & raised bed.
On July 1st of this year, I started the first of two worm bin composting. Since fire ants are a constant fight in the garden & the outdoor compost pile, I decided to keep them in the laundry room. One bin will be harvested soon. It has the most fertile looking casting! The second bin isn’t too far behind. The first bin has 2lbs of red wigglers. I’ve named that bin the “Group W Bin” as a play on Arlo Guthrie’s Alice’s Restaurant. 😁🤣😂😆
Any tips are welcome.
It is still 98 degrees in Georgia! The whole state refuses to autumn for me. 😆 I'm fighting back by growing peas, broccoli, and kale in the shade! Shade veg gardens are becoming my forte because of this stupid heat. 😊
Yep, Georgia has been crazy hot this summer. It killed off most of my balcony garden, but my tomatoes and peppers are producing new leaves and flowering again now that the heat has eased off a bit! Hoping to get a second crop since the first was SO bad.
Yes it's definitely hot here in Florida. I have a lot more peppers, tomatoes, and cucumbers plants still going and some are producing now. It's weird here with the seasons. We don't always get a real frost. A lot of time during winter, we get a cold weather then the next day it's back up in the 80's. So, I heard that I can grow my peppers and tomatoes all year round.
Very much appreciated you throwing out temperatures of what the plants can withstand. Right now in early September, Northeast Louisiana we are still having 100 degree days, no wonder my tomatoes are acting funny. Is there anything I can do for my cilantro to keep it from dying off?
Shade it:)
Purple choy sum is nice flavor. Japanese chives are mild and nice easy grower. Flowering brassica is broccoli flavor nice. Some may call it sprouting broccoli or flowering broccoli.take care.
I'm in Nebraska and forgot and didn't get my garlic planted til late Oct or early Nov and it still did well. I was surprised but happy.
Wow, I was just preparing to do a video about this last week. Thanks for the input. What growing zone are you growing in sir. Thanks for your channel.
He's in Zone 5.
Crud!! I planted radishes in Mississippi 10 days ago. I wonder if they'll just die off? Oh and thank you for mentioning southern states! I usually have to guess when to apply northern tips to South Mississippi
Valerie- I'm always researching when to plant what in Eastern mid state MS. Seems like if you blink, Spring is gone. Same with Fall! When you think Winter will be over, it lasts into April. Blink again and summer high 90's is here! Doesn't help that I have to keep moving garden due to nasty Nut Sedga. Lol! Hope you're having better success!
I'm soooo relieved and thrilled that you're going to have garlic for sale!
I’m in rural San Diego. What I’ve noticed about garlic and onions is it really doesn’t drop below 50 that often in the winter time for us . There’re has been a few freeze days but not many .
My Scarlet Runners and Lima's I planted in spring are still producing a ton. I have some radishes growing as well, I am not sure I planted them deep enough as the roots seem thin and stemmy. I should start some spinach; I do have kale and lettuce going. I am about to to buy some mustard greens after watching this.
I am going to put in some garlic, potato onions, and walking onions this weekend in my....wild area garden, which is sort of an experiemental area for me where I plan to grow some perennial varieties . I am going to plant some perennial kale and sunchokes as well. Not entirely sure the best time to plant them but I'm gonna go with fall.
I also have an overwintering purple broccoli variety I am trying out. I NEVER have good luck with broccoli, cauliflower, or head cabbage. I think I always plant it too close but they just take up so much room.
