My first and second year I felt that way, but now this fall will be my fifth year and I’ve learned to pull out. I’ve had a great harvest from all the cucumbers I have planted, but it’s time to pull out the old and put some new seeds in make plans for next spring, which I think I’m going to do differently, I need to get more specific items. I want specifically in the bed. I think my big bed is so productive that has a lot of warm is like a mortgage Borg. It has everything it has wildflowers in there for the pollinators which I have plenty of bumblebee. I’m in Houston Texas. I have some tomatoes that came in. I have cucumbers, watermelon and melons and a few of course zinnias but as I’ve been pulling out, I’m planning on putting something else, but I know it won’t be long before I can do another succession or starting another of carrots I’ve already did since spring or fall last year. I’ve done three or four succession of carrots and carrots because the heat will start soon again beans are coming back. I did have some pest disease on the beans but they’re coming back and I’ve started some new beans started some newand all types I didn’t even focus on tomatoes in the spring right away, but I am now
Thank for for another Great video. I'm going to try that 'Calaloo'. Here in northern CenTex I've had great success with Juliet cherry tomatoes (spring: transplant March 26 & fall: transplant July 1), Roma VF (spring: transplant March 26) and New Girl (spring: transplant March 26).
I am a few counties north and west of you and have found my best cucumber to be the Armenian and other tropical types like Malabar Spinach (vine) are less bothered by the bugs. Squash bugs and aphids make an appearance in the heat not to mention the grasshoppers!
I'm in Georgetown, I just did a big garden clean up today in preparation for the rainy whether. I pulled out a bunch of waning spring flowers, and herbs. I believe the short break in the heat will allow for new plants to be comfortably sown. I directly sowed some corn, cucumber, squash, bush beans and sunflowers. I transplanted zinnia seedlings as well.* Knock on wood* I think this fall is going to be great for the garden. I'm working on collecting more home-saved seed this year. Do you save seeds from your garden?
That is awesome! Great work getting set ahead of the rain. I DO save seeds from my garden and it's one of my biggest passions. I do a lot of beans, and warm season greens like molokhia and callaloo.
Super duper hot here. We had a 119° day with lots of 110+ days. I have been pulling things out with sheer glee!!!!!!. I don't have a watering system so handwatering twice a day at 4 hrs daily is wearing me down. Anything that looks at me cross eyed is getting yanked and I'm not sorry.
I hate squash so I don’t have any planted however ive had squash bugs with my cucumbers. Probably not a good variety (lemon cucumbers) so I pulled them before they fruited bc they looked like they were going to die anyway. Malabar spinach was a winner. Melon patch is almost ready to harvest and I can’t wait to yank it out bc the deer found it and it’s a mess! Golden cherry tomatoes have struggled but I’ve got a few fruit now so I’m just maintaining what I’ve got and will take a couple weeks off end of the month. If the weather has cooled at all, I will start fall seeds. I definitely need a break!
i think i'll plant the papago seeds i have. i'm already growing sea island red, lady cream peas, and limas. i don't have a trellis so i'm always concerned about vining. i've also tried those pink snap beans and so far have had no luck.
Appreciate you! If i dont top my tomatoes both indeterminate and determined will they grow another round in the fall? They are under shade cloth, 40% and flowering again, but i haven't seen any new fruit. Also, i have my 1st eggplant growing, beautiful plant hasn't made any fruit, last rain knocked all the flowers off. Im in bastrop/ cedar creek area. My cucumbers are still rocking. Thank you.
Thank you!! Your tomatoes will likely keep growing and produce in the fall if you nurture them. Due to environmental stress, August isn't a great time for tomatoes to ripen on the vine. The advantage to topping them is keeping their size down, assuring air flow to minimize disease, and pushing the timing of fruit set into more favorable weather conditions. Now is the right time to cut them back or plant new seedlings if you choose to do so 👍✨

Awesome! This summer has been uniquely mild in some ways. We still have a ways to go though!
@@newgardenroad It has been a glorious spring/summer so far.
I am getting now ready to put some seedlings in the sea tray for big John peppers
Nice!✨

Yes! I love cucumber melons like the Armenian and will be planting more soon.

I’d love to see a video on your seed collection!

Oh wow! 😅
Totally understand. Central Florida. I didn’t plant a lot.
I like the burgundy okra..

I found the papago to have a relatively compact vining habit.
I'm so glad it will rain for several days in a row in TX.
Yes!!

Corn stalks a bit greener than yours lol
It doesn’t take much green for that to be true 😆
