The Fall Garden Starts In Summer...Don't Miss It!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 сер 2023
- It is hard to think about but the Fall garden season really starts in summer. You don't want to miss the fall garden season there are: less pests, less heat, more manageable disease, and delicious harvests! The problem is that the true fall season has much less sunlight than summer so if you don't start your plants now they simply won't get enough sun to mature until spring. By starting ASAP your plants have a chance to get established allowing you to harvest in fall and throughout winter!

I had a hummingbird feeding on my Mexican sunflower today
Hummingbirds and butterflies love those flowers
I love the giant bin of starts you created while you were on vacation! Great idea.
I used a bin like that for herbs before. They hold up really well because they are thick. I made drainage holes, and then put a layer of rocks at the bottom. We get a lot of rain here in the summer in Florida, so it helped.
I'm so jelly that you can let your tomatoes ripen on the vine unbothered! The way these squirrels and birds would be having a whole Thanksgiving dinner in mine is beyond me!
Jacques ….. love your videos. Most of the vegetable growing channels on UA-cam always show the seedlings and transplants when they are ready to plant outside in the beds.
🙏🙏🙏 PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE show us the dates you are ACTUALLY sowing the seeds in the grow trays or 6 packs and walk us along with you in the process of actually which vegetable seeds you start indoors when, actually sowing the seed, showing when those seeds germinate, then the process of keeping them under grow lights for however many weeks till they are ready to be planted outside in the beds. IN REAL TIME.
Those are the steps we actually need to witness you doing.
For example, tell us, if not show us, the seeds you are starting RIGHT NOW INDOORS. It will help a lot of us folks who are not quite successful at the sowing till the transplant stage.
Thank you.
Happy to try and do this, I occasionally will remark on when I started a specific seed or transplanted it but I will try to do this more often now!
@@jacquesinthegarden oh. Wasn’t expecting a response from you. Especially such a prompt one. Appreciate you reading the comments and responding.
For example I would love to know starting from today, which week you plant to sow which seeds so I can plant similar seeds accordingly. I live maybe an hour north of San Diego so it would be great to know your timetable for sowing the various seeds, and all the steps till ready for transplanting in the beds outside.
Also, what is your planting schedule for September? Please share for all the months if possible.
Watch and enjoy all your videos. Keep it up.
Looking good Jacques! Just put up a video about fall gardening as well, we just have a bit more of a "hard stop" come mid November out here in Ohio. Can't believe you're planting tomatoes right now!
Thanks for the help you have encouraged me to grow new things
We have a single monarch visit our Tithonia often, and the humming birds love it too!
It is a great pollinator plant!
Hi there Jacques - thanks for the video! I'm doing the opposite this week, it's the last week of winter, spring next week, so I'm preparing for getting things in before we go away on holiday next week. Thanks for showing my containers on the Epic Gardening channel. Love from Mell-Burn 😊❤😊
Very nice! And thanks for sharing the garden, it was wonderful!
I think you'll really like the Principe de Borghese tomato! It makes a killer sun-dried tomato but is also great just for snacking or quick fresh tomato pasta sauces. I'm fermenting some this week with basil and garlic and can't wait to taste them!
Wow I am so hyped for them now! Fermented tomatoes are so delicious, I really need to make some again!
Here in south Florida, Mexican sunflower will turn into a huge perennial tree
Mulching in my zone 10 is a must to insulate the soil, esp in this 90F plus late summer.
100%
You're gonna love the Principe Borghese. This is my first year growing 'em too. I've also got mine in a somewhat shaded part of the garden but they're still pretty productive. The thicker skin is a little different but the flavor is incredible.
That is awesome to hear!
Absolutely love mine the best sundried tomato ever tasted I grow them for this reason
U should definitely add the "Join" option to ur channel. Always informative.
I love your idea of using the cement tub. I use them for soil when potting pots.
The garden is looking so good Jacques! 👌
I love those cement mixing tubs! I use them for everything. I've got amaryllis bulbs in one now and chicken fodder in another.
They are super handy in the garden
Still a little too hot here, but good luck to you all. Just sticking to herbs and shade cloth for now
I sowed a round of multi variety beets (golden, Detroit red, chioggia), lots of radishes, Danvers carrots, and a bit of mizuna and other salad greens. It’s my very first time sowing seeds and I haven’t thinned any of them yet. Excited to see what happens!
Love your videos, Jacques!
I really appreciate your videos. You have been so helpful to me as a gardener the past few years with your knowledge and information, and I've learned a lot from you. Looking forward to your book when it comes out.
I’m about to start mine.
Always love your videos, definitely the vibe I'm trying to cultivate, lol. Going to try and get some Mexican sunflowers going in my garden this year
Mild summer here on the west coast. Like you, I have no complaints. I wish I’d planned (or never got around to planting) like you. 😂
Imagine being able to garden in fall and winter. My garden is now emptying fast. In april start again.
It is a blessing and a curse, I can't allow myself to take a break knowing I could keep going and the pests/disease never get frozen out. But obviously the upside is great to have, I can't truly complain
@@jacquesinthegarden yea that’s true a lot of pests get frozen out and only become a problem deep in summer again. Except the cursed snails. They are a enemy no matter when you try to grow stuff
Looking nice garden ❤❤it.
nice JACQUES
Luckyyy, I have to miss out on winter crops
Last year I grew beans (only 1 bed). Double dug the bed since I have clay. Added perlite, dried leaves, and worm castings. They did great. This year resting. Till September. Then worm castings again and more perlite. Then garlic, hard.
Very nice, should make for a good rotation into the garlic!
I really like the idea of temporary home for plants to plant later in that giant bin. I could use that to start seed early for fall planting when there is no room yet in the garden. Put it on a outside table we have in the shade. This way bunnies, woodchuck etc. won't reach them. We don't have a green house. Zone 6b east coast usa. Finally have room for bush beans, spinach, chard, chi. cabbage and beets. Beets were a spring/summer fail of just greens delicious. Thank you for the encouraging ideas Jacques.
Glad to hear this! I really like the cement mixing tubs from home depot/lowes, cheap, durable, and different sizes
Tiithonia is so underrated, I'm excited to see you plant it!. I was gifted some this spring and grew them here in Zone 5b. The colour was such a fiery orange red, it was fantastic. Great choice!
I had one last year and it was amazing, I can't believe I waited this long to start another!
tithonia grows fast and it attracts butterflies. It won't attract many bees because they don't see the color red.
I remember a video a while back you had a kiwi vine. You still have it? Would love an update!
I actually do not have a Kiwi, but I have always thought it would be fun to try!
Oh boy those pill bugs did a number on my seedlings. But lesson learned 😂
I love the Mexican sun flower's they can grow huge and the color it's stunning! 😊
Wonderful pop of color in the garden
The Bietola chard is so delicious. I braise it super southern with a fish pepper pot likker. So, so good.
Glad you got to try it, by far the best chard I have ever had!
having are last real hot day on monday and the temps drop almost 20 degrees into the 70s next week! Crazy how fast the temperatures can change
It gets wild around this time of year, so planting out the garden can get tricky
"""Your videos are not only beautiful in terms of content but also in how you edit them ! keep sharing the awesome videos."🌹🌹🌹""
Thank you!
Hello from Canada! I already planted my brassicas a month ago. First frost is late October around here.
So cold!
Try Madagascar Beans, perennial that lasts about 7 years, typinally 2 harvests annually, need trellising. Young beans can be used as string beans and if you let the beans dry on the vine, the beans can be saved and night before use, soak.They are great to add to blended soups, stews and stock
That sounds interesting, I haven't heard of them before!
Good now I don’t feel too bad planting tomatoes still. Maybe next Spring they will be the biggest harvest.
It is all about making sure they don't get too soggy and then they will be happy!
I was taught plants started in pots to water them about 1-2 hours beforhand to reduce transplart shock. Then digthe hole, fill it with water /nutrient mix, wait until water absorb and then plant. This reduces the surrounding soil from sucking out water in the rootball
That is a great way to ensure good transplanting, I had a unseasonal rain storm 2 days later so I was counting on that to fill in the gaps!
I do need to up my mulch game thx
It seems to me that you really appreciate the organic side of gardening. I’ve tried to find that organic straw everywhere… any suggestions?
Autumn arrived here in Cornwall around 4/5 days ago. We didn't really get summer 😢
It's so weird how you guys keep calling August/September "summer" while the oak tree on my front lawn is already changing colour. I'm pretty jealous. In a month or two I'll most likely have freezing rain and perhaps snow.
August and September are the HOTTEST months by far for us in San Diego so to us it feels like summer the most.
@Disabled.Megatron Might try it. My sister has some. I’m mostly growing raspberries because they’re my mom’s favourite. Hope your bowels are ok with that answer
Jacques!
I'm craving some aerial views!
pretty please ; )
I ❤❤❤ Mexican Torch is actually a daisy not sunflower. I was reading about how sunflowers prohibit the growth of other plants and I did not want that happening, so I did some research and found to my delight that Mexican torch is a daisy.
Totally, daisy is in the same family but they are not the same plant!
Oooh. That Tithonia is going to look stunning in the fall garden. But Beware. My Tithonia gets quite gangly and needs some support for sure.
They are quite stunning, the pop of color is going to be great in fall.
Jacque, question, can you use the seeds from all those different peppers planted so close together?
Looks great, Jaques! What did you mulch the pepper bed with? I have some shredded hemp and was wondering if I could mulch with that. Thank you!
Shredded hemp should work fantastic, in this case I used straw mulch which will work in the same way.
When you top off a bed that has been previously mulched, do you remove the old mulch or just cover with your soil mix and fresh mulch on top? Thanks for the informative vids!
I do both, if I need more soil I will just top off the old straw and then re mulch after I top off. If I don't need more soil I go ahead and just refresh the straw and add the fresh mulch on top.
Is it too late to start seeds for fall in 10b? I'm thinking of direct sowing peppers and green beans. But I also have some cosmos I forgot about.
What type of mulch do you use on top of the soil?
Thank you!
I prefer straw mulch when possible, for containers and raised beds I like to use garden straw since it is pre chopped, for in ground I just use straw from straw bales as its cheaper
I left my tomatoes in although it’s too hot for them to set fruit. I cut all of the old growth and left 1-2 suckers to grow, they’ll be ready to set fruit once the weather cools. The plants were fine, no disease, didn’t see a reason to pull them out.
That is a great way to reset and make use of the huge root systems they have put in place!
hi jacques 🤗
your videos are awesome.
i did several starts for a fall garden but my raised beds aren't ready. i think the plants are dying back in those little cubicles.
how can i save/revive them until the space is ready (about 10 days)?
otherwise, ill have to direct sow and take my chances planting seeds at the end of the 1st week of september. thanks
You can try watering them with some dilute fertilizer to help them along. You could also try to pot them up or place them in a big bin like I showed earlier. Watering with the fertilizer will make up for lack of soil nutrients but it won't help with root boundness
@@jacquesinthegarden thank you so much for answering my question.
i was looking for larger &/or tray-shaped containers in my stash outside...then a fig (or japanese) beetle flew over my head and i ran inside 😱😂🤣😱 i am significantly afraid of those things. ive tried to "face my fear", but so far, they run me out of my garden on sight.
ill try to up-pot the starts in groups of the same plant if i can only find a few containers. its only temporary, so hopefully they'll be ok being a bit cozy.
again, thanks for replying. have a blessed day 😁
I have garden mulch envy! I would love to be able to source clean, pale, cut straw. Where do you get it? And, thanks for all the info*
The clean straw mulch is GardenStraw, I have it linked in the description, it is pricey but it looks good, is easy to manage, and spreads really well in tight spaces like containers or raised beds!
Thanks but not in my budget : (
@@jacquesinthegarden
Hi Jaques, where do you buy your mulch, Amazon link if any, please 🙏 😊
I added a link into the description!
🎶I got a six pack of kale, and nothing to do. I got a six pack of kale, and I don't need you!🎶🤘
I bought some padrón pepper seeds this summer, when is the best time to plant them… and why and how
You want to start them in early spring in containers to transplant as soon as it warms up outside wherever you live. Growing them over summer ensures you will get good production as they need both heat and sunlight to grow well
Principe Borghese is a heavy producer so even with shade it's going to give you a lot.
Glad to hear this!
Thank god i'm not the only one that has the Roly Poly's eating their cucumber / melon plants! My poor Watermelon seedlings were ravaged this year meaning no Watermelon for me :(
Good luck with the broccoli plants, i've never had luck with them nor brussel sprouts due to aphids and other bugs always getting to them before I do.
That is why I grow these brassicas over fall, pest pressure is SEVERELY decreased.
@@jacquesinthegarden thanks for the tip, i'll see if I can get some growing before the harsh winter here
Jacques, can you tell me what is the brand of green shirt you wear in the garden? Like you, I have a specific set of sun protective and durable clothing I wear when gardening. I like your shirt!
This one is the Rei Sahara shirt!
Nice! I had a feeling it was. I use those too! Thank you for the confirmation, Jacques!@@jacquesinthegarden
I’m fighting the nematode issue. I made a brassica tea and I’m gonna plant a bunch of marigolds. Farrowing was also a option. Do you find just planting the marigolds takes care the issue?
I plan on seeding the marigolds and then tilling them into the soil surface to help further suppress and hopefully dislodge the nematodes.
I’m early, lol
I'm in 9b - have been in triple digits and high 90s. Still out starts in?
Sub high 90s would for sure be more ideal, shade cloth can help but only so much.
Aloha Jacque 🌺
I live in Hawaii. We have a lot of white butterflies that like to lay eggs and then produce worms. Also at night we have moths that like to produce pickle worms. I noticed you planted broccoli cucumbers and squash outside. Do you have similar pest ? If not could you recommend any solutions. 🌈😊
For us the solution it to grow these plants over fall into early spring, the white cabbage moth and butterfly are less prevalent during those seasons leading to fewer problems.
@@jacquesinthegarden Thank you so much 🌈🙏🏻I’ll give that a go.
My shishito peppers are small. Some are turning red before they are full grown. Any ideas why? There are lots of peppers on the plants. My first time growing shishito.
Usually stresses will cause them to set fruit early and then it turns out smaller, lack of water is one of the main things that I have seen cause this.
Have you or anyone here tested what a good minimum spacing for vertically grown, or grown in a bed with the vines trailing on the side spacing is good for medium sizef winter squash/pumpkin (not that this is relevant right now here) because ive herd people post things completely unrealistic (probably untested) on square foot gardening blogs saying you can plant them in 1 or 2 square feet to things that seem exessive from more conventional growing methods saying they need 100 square feet each. I just want to know approximately what would be good spacing for medium pumpkins/squash grown vertically or with the vines trailing on the side (so the main limitations should be things like root size, compitition for nutrients, pests and diseases)
Growing vertically I tend to do 1 plant for every 2 feet of trellis, using things like fencing or netting. You can easily support 2 plants on 4 feet but you will have to prune some of the leaders off. Having 2 vines ensures you fully fill in the trellis although ideally 1 vine could also do it.
@@jacquesinthegarden and what about the spacing between the trellises?
I cant grow mexican sunflowers to save my life. I seeded them so many times into 4” pots. Even putting on the surface and not covering like the packet says, nothing.
If your local nursery or big box store has vermiculite try that out. It is a mineral that acts like a water sponge but also is translucent so it lets light through. Surface sow the seeds and then lightly cover it with vermiculite, this will keep the seed moist and still give it access to light dramatically improving your germination rate.
I need help starting seeds I don't know why they are not sprouting
What kind of seeds and how old are they? Some seeds like carrots have to stay moist until the germinate. Some can't germinate if they even dry out once. Have you tried using the wet paper towel method?
@@daisyblooms4813 that are broccoli seeds
I have a few videos on seed starting that are pretty complete: ua-cam.com/play/PLc3ZX1dZDoyxor9euLMof_ohA4qPpy-19.html&si=PUDhzoivH-sIyKit
Thanks
I have a question. My planter app shows that peppers and tomatoes aren't good to plant next to each other because they attract pests and deplete nutrients, but you have them planted close. Is that even true or a load of crock😂or is there a rule to it, as in within a certain distance would be bad?
So IN THEORY they are the same plant family and so they will share similar problems. But in my mind I like to plant them together so that when I rotate beds I can fully swap out that family of plants (potatoes, tomatoes, peppers, and eggplant). I find that the pests that like tomatoes don't really go for peppers but some diseases may be shared. Overall I just don't think it matters!
OK, Jacques, how many plants do you guesstimate you have in all of your gardens? 🤩
Oh boy, hundreds? I can't even hazard a true guess haha
I think you're being modest, my gardening hermit friend @@jacquesinthegarden . I think in the lower thousands if you count beyond your plantings in containers, beds, etc. But they're priceless even if innumerable.
Mr beast kind of looks like him. Hmm.
I would disagree with you when you said the ground was already wet so no need to water. You should always water in transplants so the soil gets all around the roots with no air pockets. This can have negative effects on the way that plant grows.
This is valid, watering them in is always good practice, I was counting on "Hurricane Hilary" to water them in but it is good practice to water in.
i don t see you fertilizing too much with all those starts , am i missing something?
I do not fertilize much in general, I will occasionally give them a dose but that is about it.
ahh yes, the fall garden: peppers, tomatoes, squash, basil, and okra??? 🤣 y’all (epic gardening team) have to start putting your growing zones in the titles lol. they are so misleading. love the content tho my dude. 🙏
Haha, it is a weird setup but I did also plant brassicas and greens!
@@jacquesinthegarden well i think its a great setup Jacques, and the video, as always, has amazing advice and helpful tips, but really only if you are in a zone that is similar to yours. The problem is, you can watch this whole video and you don’t really get the impression anywhere that these fall garden seedling tips will only work in a zone like yours, so it’s just a bit misleading in that way. maybe you did mention it tho haha. cheers dude! 🤙
I would not put brassicas where you know you have nematodes. They are not resistant. Nematode resistant beans, tomatoes would be better.
They are different types of nematodes but some brassicas, like mustards, can really help beat back the root knot nematodes.
@@jacquesinthegarden There are different kinds of nematodes. Indian Mustard was one of the ones that was recommended. Some marigolds like nemagone, can help as well. Sunn Hemp is used here as a cover crop to suppress nematodes. As well as solarization. To use suppressive crops, you have to plant the crop intensively and not give the nematodes any other food source, not even weeds. The other option was to dig out and dispose of the soil. It can make the soil more productive for a few more years. I have been using hot water and it takes a lot of it and it kill everything including beneficial microbes, it does work as suppression. I have to be careful to work the areas where I have nematodes last and clean off tools, boots, and hands carefully not to contaminate other areas of the garden. When I do plant crops, I alternate the nematode suppressant crop with a nematode resistant crop like contender beans or a nematode resistant tomato. You usually have to go use your nematode controlling measures beyond where you know you have problems because nematodes do expand their range over time.
Hey, love your contents ❤
I'm facing some problem in planting can you help? :)
I'm planting some indoor plants I put them in a well drained pot, water them accordingly check the soil but for some reasons some of them are drying out causing leaves to fall.. 🍂
My room have enough moisture and I give them sunlight everyday for 20 min in morning.. and my room is windy I use fans
So my question is what's causing the problem ?🥲
Are you saying that you only give your plants sunlight for 20 minutes? Unless you have a lot of other light, that's not enough and it would make your plants turn yellow and die.
It may be the lack of adequate light, a lot of air movement could also lead to low humidity around the plant causing them to dry out get stressed and die
6:57 Jacques🤎🤍🤎🤍🤎🖤 You're hiding a horse🤎hidden to the right🤎🤍🖤 Please tell us its name🤎🤍🤎🤍🤎🤍🤎🤍🤎🤍🤎🤍🤎🖤
