Thank you for posting a list!
I found planting mustard under my brassicas works best at keeping away all pests. I live in zone 8b. I planted my cauliflower and cabbage in late June and kept noticing they were being bombarded by snails, slugs, catapillars and beetles and almost lost all except 8. I decided to go ahead and plant my mustard seed because of the extra space under what I had left and BAM!!! Not one new leaf had any eaten areas. I have sage, basil, rosemary and dill also planted near them and none of those made a difference. I've decided from now on mustard is going to be my go to crop to plant under or around all of my brassicas and anything else that leaves me plenty of real estate. Good luck gardening.
Radishes were the first thing I planted myself at 5 years old and I love them sliced thin in salad.
They are awesome in tacos! Such an easy crop to grow too!
@@SilverCreekHomestead I’ll have to try that!
And street tacos!
Oh I'm so ready this was my first garden in North Florida zone 9b been gardening for years but up north the heat got us right from the start and we started 2 months late in the dead of the heatwave it's just cooling off and finally got 2 tomato plants fruiting lost a bunch of plants but got a bed full of other tomatoes I started by seed got a bed of okra,pak choi,brussel sprouts,cucumbers,spinach, waiting to put in collard greens, beets,and radishes!
Guess I need to find out what zone I'm in. Where do I find out the extension office? They also have a soil sample center there I know
Collards too. They produce until the snow buries them and the cold weather greens taste better than the summer. Big sturdy leaves with kind of a cabbage flavor.
If you spread peanut butter on the kale and roast it , it makes delicious kale chips.
My cilantro reseeds itself and comes back every fall. I throw a blanket over it when we expect a freeze and it lasts the winter. I usually have it through the spring until it bolts and reseeds.
zone 9b
I just pulled mine up and buried it
I did not know this
Let it bolt and save those seeds. You can replant for new cilantro but you can also keep for culinary purposes
Seeds of cilantro are called CORIANDER which have been used for food preservation
Zone?
The smell of chives will keep me and the carrot fly away from the carrot bed. 😄
Chard...Charrrrrrd!! It costs $4 a bushel at the store (if you can find it) and is one of the easiest green to grow.
I just started my fall garden. I planted half of my garden the last 2 days, the other half is still producing summer veggies, but in next week or 2 that is fixing to be turned under so I can finish planting my fall garden. Never planting carrots before, but I'm trying it now and the same way with lettuce. I love gathering my fresh vegetables. Thanks for this vedio. 😊
Be sure to cover your carrot seeds, you'll find videos on it.
We barely have a frost date in London, England, but we don't have much light in the autumn, which is the bigger issue sometimes.
I'm not a big fan of Kale either...
However, I've found that if you get a pulp extracting juicer, and juice raw kale & red beet juice (add a bit of granny smith apple & navel orange & it tastes much better), there are some amazing health effects for men.
Beet juice is a fantastic anti oxidant, as well as a natural way to increase testosterone production.
Kale juice has the most Indole 3 Carbinol (I3C) of any other calciferous vegetable. I3C has an amazing ability to strip estrogen from your body.
Estrogen is a component necessary for fat cells to store fat, remove the estrogen from your body, and the fat in the fat cells re enter your bloodstream, to be filtered out by your liver.
You'll likely lose about a pound a day, if you are actively monitoring your sugar/carb intake.
2 large glasses of this juice daily really works.
You will experience about a 3 day colon cleanse.
Your skin color will become really healthy looking.
In less than a week, you will begin to feel fantastic, full of energy, and increased libido.
Also, if you suffer from mild depression, likely that can be caused by diet. This juice will likely eliminate any depression/ down feeling/blues...
So, if you are a male, 35 and older, this would be a great addition to your nutrition efforts.
I’m ready for fall garden szn 🍁🌮🍺
I hate kale too, but I tried kale chips and made them myself and they’re amazing. Doesn’t even taste like the bitter Raw kale. I’m definitely going to plant lettuce under my brassicas from now on thank you I never even thought about that.
I live in zone 9A Twentynine Palms California the desert. We have so many ground squirrels that you practically can't plant anything they either eat the tops eat the fruit or eat or tunnel through the roots. I don't have the heart to kill them they're really pretty cute and fighting them is a never-ending battle. (Even with putting chicken wire in the ground and above on top of everything they find a way in.
I have resorted to picking up old chest freezer sitting out for the trash man and gardening in them so I'm very limited on what I can grow. I grow mostly in the winter when they're asleep and I have several shower doors from trailers I put them on top of my freezers. I have also used clear shower curtain liners from the dollar store held on with bricks. This year has been the most horrific usually they don't mess with my figs but this year they've killed two fig trees and then and the birds have eaten everything off my tiger fig tree. It's a losing battle if it's not the weather 115, 117 degrees, it's the critters eating everything.
Wow how frustrating! We also have a few squirrels that are bothersome but we aren't overrun like you! I'm so sorry!
Hi Brian. Today it was 98F in the shade, and it has been 100F, or hotter, the last two weeks. Next week, Wednesday, there is finally a break in the weather, with a forecasted temperature of 85F, and into the low 80s and even 70s after that. I am, so glad that cooler temperatures are coming. I have a lot of bare dirt that needs planting. Wednesday and Thursday, I plan on sowing seeds for Brunswick Cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, turnips, beets, carrots, Swiss Chard, Pak Choi, Yellow Heart Winter Choy, tatsoi, komatsuna, radish, Nappa Cabbage, and whatever else I have seeds for that is cold tolerant. October is garlic planting time for me, and I am hoping temperatures will be cool enough to sow parsnip seeds. I'm not in the best area for them, a little south of Sylacauga, AL, out in the country.
Disaster hit about two weeks ago. A racoon managed to get into the chicken run, and I forgot, and left the hen house open. I was fortunate to only loose one chicken. Since then, I've fortified the areas where it had attempted to gain entry for another chicken dinner, and I've lined the run with concrete blocks. Since I've taken these measures, there have been no signs of attempted entry.
Deer nearly stripped my peach tree seedlings of leaves. I've had to take measurs to protect them too. They are surrounded with a hogwire ring, and will stay that way until they are six foot tall, or taller-probably a lot taller. Other than that, my crabapple tree, apple trees, plum trees, and cherry trees are doing as well as can be expeected in the summer heat. They will do better when cool weather comes.
Happy Gardening!
I'm with you on kale and and radishes. Everything else is a yes. I got most of my fall garden planted this past week. I still have lettuce, garlic and broccoli left to go. Lol, I've been out everyday looking for those first seedlings, as if that will make them come up any sooner!😅
In Germany, we love kale, but I guess it’s the way we prepare them 😉
Majority of my kale, spinach and chard feeds the chickens . The sweet peas and brassicas come in the house .😊
How do you cook it? Really curious because I’m planting some.
I planted carrots late...just watered the dirt...haphazardly threw the seeds on and walked away. I was picking huge carrots in october
Lol Brian I hate kale too, I grew it for 2 years because I could but finally wised up...NOBODY in my family likes it 😂
I'm in Western WA, our first frost date is Oct 22nd and I planted my garlic right before that last year. It grew great!
Eastern Washington here, I will try planting now! Our first frost is usually around Oct 4-7
Can I just use the garlic bulbs from grocery store to grow more garlic?
Trouble with zones is that this year and last it has been upside down. NOTHING is like it was before. Here in zone 6 we have had horrible heat most of the summer that started in April with little relief. Last year the heat went to Nov. My garden has suffered for it. When we get a few days of cooler things perk up but we have not had any normal rain. I’ve tried all kinds of protection that folks down south use but we just don’t get enough sunny days to compensate. My best crop was aphids infesting everything under cover. While I have conquered some pests there are ones showing up I’ve never seen before. I had to buy a book to determine what’s good and bad insects. It has been a tiring year for my gardening. Despite it all I have succeeded in getting a few good results. What I wish someone would explain to me is why when I purchase bush type green been seed I get a few bush plants and some pole type beans mixed in. 2 years now.
Hey Brian! 👋 thanks for the 10😊I'll be planting this labor day weekend, so over my pests, withering zuchinni, beans, etc, and so hot in cbus right now, so wish me luck 🤞
I have to rethink summer gardening in the Central Valley. Too many 100 + degree days in July. I'll try shade cloth for tomatoes next summer.
Thank you very much Sir. You have made my first planting season extremely rewarding. I was waiting for this video and of course can't wait for the next. God Bless 🙏 🙏 🙏
Golden Radishes are fantastic. No zip, just flavor. My stepmom doesn't like radish but she loves the golden radish. :-)
And the Lord God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it. Genesis 2:15 KJV
Just finished preserving summer harvest anf replanted with carrots, peas, lettuce, cauliflower, beans, kale and chard in poly tunnel. Will plant beets and parsnips this week. Middle Tennessee
I'm in zone 8b on Vancouver Island and the common rule of thumb is to plant our garlic end of oct. / beginning of November. We don't plant it now.
The other thing is that since our daylight hours are getting less and less, things take much longer to mature than what seed packets say. The temps are fine, the reduced sun hours is always the problem.
I didn't like kale either but now I eat kale chips and also make and also make a smoothie with kale, apple, banana and carrot. The recipe for kale chips is mix kale torn into bite size pieces and some oil balsamic vinegar and a little salt and oregano. Lay out on baking sheet and bake in oven at 150c 20 minutes. Set aside for 20 minutes to crisp up. No kale taste. Beautiful!
Google "Olive Garden kale soup recipe"
Kind of like those sea weed crisps
Talking about cilantro. I'm in the UK and last winter we had -15 of cold in my area. I had a cilantro plant in the garden, it survived, not only that I was able to dig it up and put it in a pot, then give it to a friend who was having chemo. She loved it, so I provided that for her. I may do the same again now she it is recovery.
Aesthetics are so important to me for gardening. I try to keep up with removing dying leaves and spoiled fruit otherwise that's all i see when I go outside. When it 's all cleaned up, I love being in that space. THANK YOU for sharing your opinion about kale. Everyone raves about it. I've tried it several times and thought there was something wrong with me cuz I don't like it! Really going to try a fall garden this year so fingers crossed.
💯 nothing wrong with us.. something wrong with kale
Try kale after it freezes, it gets really sweet!
im gonna miss summer
Just placed my order for garlic for fall planting💕
i always use garlic from Aldi
@@antiex44do you plant that? I’ve tried planting grocery garlic and it did not grow….. 🤔
@@SilverCreekHomestead all garlic comes from china, and it grows in holland
@@antiex44 gotcha. I’m over here in the US so who knows where the garlic comes from or what’s been sprayed on it!
@@antiex44 💕
I replanted pinkeye purple hull peas, okra, and crookneck squash about the first of August. They're growing like gang busters. Already picking squash and peas.
Thank you so much, very helpful. I do only container planting and this is my first year planting vegetables(from seed). Grey Zucchini and Roma Tomato were planted earlier, now have these growing Waltham Butternut Squash, Emerald Giant(Bell) Pepper, and Yellow Crook Neck Squash, and seeds for Romaine Lettuce on their way. :) I'm in zone 10 in So. Calif., Inland Empire area.
Where did you find grey zucchini seeds please? I wanted to grow them this year, but couldn’t find seeds 😢. I’m in BC, Canada- zone 8b.
I love kale! So does my family. We must prepare it like the Germans😂 we use the dark flat leaf type you showed. Use it in juicing as well as chop salad with red cabbage, shredded carrots, broccoli red peppers. Makes A beautiful salad.
Be aware, in NC zone 7b, chives will reseed like wildfire. I let a cluster go crazy because we redid our deck eliminating the stairs going doen the back. Those chives reseeded and made a forest of chives and I have struggled for years pulling them up because they grow up in my hostas and all the flowers I planted back there. What I can't pull up I remove every bud that forms before it opens. NOT taking any chances of more!
I did that just today! Looks so much better and I feel inspired!
What a good idea, just get rid of it and get something new! This is perfect as I'm just ready for some fall planting. How timely you are. Thanks Brian appreciate you.
Trebuie sa avem grija de natura și de planeta, pentru că legumele sa fie bio, și sănătoase, fara poluare
With Seattle recently moving from zone 8 to zone 9 - and my inheriting a house with a long dead/ overgrown but previously vibrant garden - your video showing up on my 'dash' is perfect! Thanks for being so detailed!
Love radishes. Especially in salads
AZ low desert , zone 9b. I love my fall/winter veggie garden. Kale goes into my smoothie! Broccoli, cauliflower, spinach, cabbage, lettuce, peas and beans both pole and bush plus tomatoes that made it through our horrible summer. Have some melons already growing and sweet potatoes! Zucchini and eggplant also! And not to forget cucumber. Our first freeze is in Dec.
How do you get enough water?
@@jackson32 drip systems or hoses
@@juneramirez8580 high desert of Az here 😬
@@5littlearrows I guess being in a dry area you collect a lot of rainwater?
@@jackson32 we try to make wells around bushes/trees to catch some and use drip or soaker hoses on rest or between monsoon seasons
My entire garden got overrun with pumpkin vines. I won’t get to do anything until about mid October when I pull all those pumpkins out.
Had to pull my pumpkin vines bc squirrels got into them 😢
I don’t have a frost date🤣 until we have the freeze of all freezes in Texas. We are still so hot. I pulled out so much and nothing grew this year. We had a derecho and a hurricane and unbearable heat. I am hoping for a fall season. Just bought some insect netting. Everything has been attacked by bugs. Just saw miner leaves on a lot of my beans. Just can’t win for loosing. Should be getting the netting Monday. Fingers crossed.
Mary Woodworth from eastern idaho......two. late frosts l.....third planting was late because ofthat.....now guess what.....it frosted last night.....lost most of everything. Guess I'll start over next year.......dang. I so much love your videos
So sorry, neighbor! I'm South Eastern WA
I like to plant 7 top and purple top turnip seed, Curley leaf mustard and Siberian kale all at the same time in August and September in west Tennessee. They really taste good cooked together with a little salt pork in a pressure cooker.
In the low desert, I can plant summer vegetables again now. I will wait a couple of months to plant the winter vegetables though because it's still hot here.
Thanks for all the tips Im in zone 10a SW Florida and I am so ready for my fall garden 😊
Weird weather again this year again. My summer squash isn’t bearing yet. Tomatoes are just starting to turn red. Maybe garlic in a month. Spinach is planted in pots.
Thank you.
I'm in 10b in Florida. I can't wait to start my fall garden. I'll be starting next month.
I pressure cook my Premiere Kale leaves for about 10 minutes and splash homemade cayenne/vinegar mild hot sauce on them and they are delicious!
rumor has it kale chips are tastier.. lol
but others report chickens and other animals also like kale scraps along with their feeds and its good for them.
thanks for the tips..
I have someone who gives me eggs. I will swap her eggs for this
Grow kale & comfrey as greens for chickens which then give me stuff for compost beds. Cycle of life.
My tomato seedlings are about ready to go into the raised bed. I have planted black eyed peas, kohl rabi, cucumbers (starting to climb), kale (just for the chickens), chard, squash summer and winter. My summer garden was terrible. I am in zone 10a. Rehabed my raised beds-hoping for better!
Are you by any chance in SW Florida? Because my summer crops were CRAP also. There was a problem with EVERYTHING this year. So frustrating
Love your honesty, lol!
In southern Utah we are still 100*+ 😅. We still have a lot of growing season ahead ❤️
I need to be taking better notes. Looking forward to a fall garden. My first foray into vegetables has had some success and a couple complete failures. Love your content.
Nice
Man your still growing I love it !! 0:16
Somehow, I was unsubscribed! 🤔 I just saw this video on the home page... not my subscription page. 😮 I'm resubscribed! 😊
Welcome back!
Great info. Thank you🎉
I don’t know why I don’t have spinach on my fall list but I’m going to put it up there! Spinach is a good one for pots too!
7:18 😂 I agree on kale, but I like it in soups! So I did plant some just a couple days ago. Thanks for the tips on the bunching onions-I have some in my kitchen right now that can go in the ground!
Absolutely love me some raw radishes!!!
Yes! I'm going to do snow peas again! I got enough last year that well paid for the packet.😁
Thank you 🙏
I’ve got radishes almost ready right now and as I pull and eat half of the bed I will be resending! They are so good to me but my kids only eat them in tacos!
We planted some bunching onions and they've spread all over. Can't hardly get rid of them.
Very nice and beautiful ❤❤❤❤Thank you ❤❤❤
No fall garden here. Might get some greens. That’s it. I’m jealous.
Thank you, Brian! 😊
Hoping for a bugless trial of spaghetti squash again here in south texas. I didn't get any but one tiny squash. The injections didn't work and I'm not doing that again or any other harsh chemicals.
Less bugs in the fall! Way better! Have frost cover ready & go for it!
Love these videos!
I don't think the garlic chilling thing is necessarily a myth, I think it depends where you are . I'm in Tx zone 9a and I didn't chill last season and mine were very meh.
I will start more seeds tomorrow! Especially, lettuce
I’m in Oregon and growing season and summer end far too soon, in my opinion. This year I was able to get tomatoes a plenty yet not ripe. I’ve tried cutting early as I lost many… still can’t get it right.
Hoping for better success in fall for next round of anything that works 🤪👍
In Eurasia, Parsnip is also a good plant to plant now. It can handle the cold very well and the eatable root gets sweater when it freezes. Also, when you don't harvest it, it will produce a 2m plant the next year with yellow sweet umbel flowers that attract many insects and bees. I usually plant the the seeds in small pots an put them in loose earth when the plants grew a few cm.
I don't really care much for kale but I guess I like them more than your typical green leafy lettuce (due to its sturdier nature). It's rather meh though, a grass-note leather veggie, lol.
I julienne the radishes so I can use it in place of carrot/bean-sprout/cucumber (like toppings or fillers in sandwiches). Adds a nice fresh crunch to dishes.
Great video/advice. Thanks
Great Great info Texas 💚
I grow those onions in a pot in my kitchen window all year long.
I'm in south NJ, What zone is it called? Great video, I'm definitely going to try some of these.
You can Google "planting zone for" and add your zip code💕
You can google your zip code and growing zone to find out 🙂
@joannam369 Thanks, it worked. My zones are 7a and 7b.
Thank you.
Cabbage, too
Agreed! HATE kale and radishes. 😂
Ok they are both so good! It’s all how you eat them 😂
@@SilverCreekHomesteadhave tried many ways and many times, and not feeling it. There is no reason to have to like every veggie. There are lots of alternatives! 🤣
@@marymechler8451 ha ha true.
not in Florida, still around 95 every day and that is in north Florida....Jacksonville
What do you do when your cucumbers have come to the end of producing? Specifically, the soil and container used to grow them in?
The Vietnamese make a decent vegetable relish (for their banhmi [hoagie/sub type] sandwiches) by pickling a mix of daikon (winter) radishes and carrots, pickled together. I hate raw radish.
It's frustrating cause I've mooved to a new place in the french mountains last year and I'm still figuring out how the altitude impacts my growing season (it started soooo late I cannot trust any indication on the seed pack or in books) and I started picking my first tomatoes mid-august, I'm not even sure there is a shoulder season, but I sure am gonna try !
Sounds terrific but I don't really want to plant spinach for the deer 😂
I just thought about something… what do people with drip irrigation (or really any irrigation) do in the winter? Don’t the pipes/tubing freeze? Issues with cracking/busting? Do you go back to hand watering?
Great video
Nice!
Thank you so much!
Great video! Thanks. 🎉 Do you have any tips for growing rhubarb? 🥧 I’ve tried several times from seed and from tubers but haven’t had much success.
What about my first sub zero date? That would be in November. Then my first minus 40 date would be end of January. But I do seed grass in late fall just before the snow comes.
Yes, to all of that except kale. Why bother? Yes, there are ways to make it taste edible but there are also other leafy veggies that taste way better without a lot of effort to make them taste better.
I actually like kale, but I know I'm the oddball out there. 😆
Have you ever tried sowing chervil for fall? Does it require cool temperatures (indoor jui-jitsu: early September is hot where I live)? I actually enjoy that vegetable (similar to parsley + anise), but it bolts in no time flat in spring, so I never get much of a harvest.
…instead of growing radishes for the radish grow it for the seed pods. Very much like green beans with a sweet radish flavor. It’s great pickling. And 1 radish plant can give you tons of radish pods.
There is a "rattail" variety (no taproot) specifically grown for its pods. (It is probably still best pickled. When I tried them raw, the first few were a nice spicy garnish, perhaps like an unsalted caper, but by the time I got to #6 in one sitting, I was thinking, "This plant wants to kill me.") Unlike the root radishes, this is a summer crop, which makes it useful for those who believe radishes make good companion plants to cucurbits (which I thought weird, since they have opposite seasons in hot summer areas, but I guess half the gardening "experts" live in summerless Britain). Also, if you believe in the health benefits of eating crucifers, there aren't that many summer options (unless you 1. live in cool summer areas, 2. don't mind bitter collards, or 3. live in the sub/tropics, where Moringa can substitute).
