I love experiencing your garden with you. I live in Houston so Fall is my favorite garden. I have such pest stress in the Spring and Summer plus the heat is brutal on ME. Fall allows me to relax and enjoy growing more. It’s time to get my hoops in so I don’t have to scramble when hearing the weather reports.
It was 85 here today. It's going to be 34 here Wednesday night. Welcome to the Fall rollercoaster. I'll be covering my tomatoes and praying for the best 🙏
@@TheMillennialGardenerI'm kicking myself for not picking all my green romas and letting them ripen inside - I didn't do a good enough job of covering them from frost the last few days so they got taken out along with a few others plants.
You can eat the bulbs of those onions. The less in the bunch, the bigger the bulbs. I have them all over my food forest and the bulbs are incredible when chopped with garlic and cooked in oil
I noticed in your video that you also have a love for Grillo's pickles. Here's a tip that we use after finishing the last pickle which will also help with your abundance of green tomatoes , which we also have this year. Just take your pickle container and re-use all the still remaining ingredients to make refrigerator pickled green tomatoes. Cut the cherry sized ones in half, and slice the larger ones however you like. Fill the container back up with green tomatoes and give them a week or so and enjoy awesome pickled tomatoes on salads or sandwiches, or however you prefer. You get to use their secret recipe, and let them do all the prep and supply the ingredients. The container is also perfect to reuse like this. They taste amazing!
All pickle juices are not the same. Some I've tried are just very salty water. What's cool about Grillo's concoction is, this is the mixture used to create the pickles from the raw cucumbers. The pickles are aging while it is on the shelf under refrigeration in the store. It has the fresh dill, and a lot of sliced garlic, vinegar, and their unique spice blend. It even has a grape leaf to preserve the crispness. All this is left in the container after consuming the pickles, so I use it to work for my purposes. The resulting green tomatoes have a delicious dill-garlic flavor, and are very crunchy. I also use this to make pickled onions. @@pamreneick464
Red sails lettuce is lovely in winter flower boxes. I grow beats, red sorrel,4seasons lettuce and red sails in my flower boxes and baskets. They do great.
I watched your video for a suggestion. Most of what I have planted is on your list. I do have 3 tomato plants in buckets so I can bring them inside. I have one empty row in the garden. This spring I found wild onions in the yard and grabbed the seed pods. I'll plant them in that last row! Just as soon as I remember where I hid them. Cats got on the porch while I was letting them dry and knocked everything over. My garden is about 30 miles from the Gulf coast. I tell you what. Tilling and planting my little garden totally wore out this old woman. I may be going more to raised bed and buckets next year. Now I did plant potatoes in buckets. Daddy used to plant his potatoes and English peas right after Christmas in North MS.
I saw a video where they planted potaoes first in a clothes basket then placed it in a bucket ... so they lift out the clothes basket cutNd flip up the plastic rungs and just take out the pptatoes then put them back..i thought it was very smart cool 👍
we just had our first hard frost. spring cant get here fast enough. I started growing lettuces under lights in the bedroom. I have had much better success. No bugs and consistent temps. Its great to get a fresh salad in the middle of winter.
Frist time growing Carrots yes it germinated in 7 days, it germinated fast maybe because i threw some Blood meal in the seed. I sowed it 2 inches in the ground water daily. Am growing purple and orange ones. Im excited to see the results!
We had four days of frost last week into the 30's and the peppers next to my house survived. Even though they aren't right against the house. Really shocked me.
The frost line usually ends about 4 feet from my house until it starts getting deep into the 20's. It usually won't frost up against my house until Christmas.
I watched a Canadian gardener’s video and am going to try their technique in my zone 6a garden. Basically it’s following what nature does, dropping seeds in the fall for an early spring crop. I used older seeds for greens, lettuces, spinach and a few flowers. Since they’re old seeds I don’t mind experimenting, since you have to plant more than normal since there will be loss. Makes sense though, and mimics things I’ve observed happening naturally. My first fall garden was planted awhile ago and I am really hoping for success. It’s fun, anyway, and a low-risk experiment. It’s always a good day to be in the garden. PS Collards are a favorite here! I’ve also used the greens from other brassicas that didn’t head and cooked them the same as collards and you wouldn’t know the difference.
I put all old/ seeded/dead plants in the compost pile, then I used that compost to refill the raised beds and pots, adding store bought chicken manure, perlite, etc.... then I have many volunteer seedlings came up all over the places. My garden's weeds are spinachs, bokchoys, parsleys, peppers, tomato plants, basils, mustards, amaranths, very little real weeds ....This year I'm growing collards and turnips for the st time. Somehow I found collards were tough and fibrous, but they are actually very sweet comparing to other greens like mustards, yet I've just always overlooked them. I tried to use old seeds that I keep them in the fridge to cleaned up my seed stock. Some of them are over 10 years old. Most of them still germinated very good, except a few. So in the places where old seeds didn't germinate, I still have tons of edible veggies. I have bought too many seeds of all kinds, and after giving some of them away, I still have tons of seeds of all kinds, probably over 10 lbs. Might have to start selling them on Ebay, lol.
Definitely gonna be plant tons of things this fall. I’m helping my M.I.A with starting a garden. I’m so excited to get her planted with so many of these things. These will also be a first for me with having the space to see these planted out and grown big. I’m super excited for this experience to bond with her.
I'm in zone 6a. Northwest Indiana. Last year I over wintered artichoke by covering with frost cover. It grew so good this year! I had collard greens and kale survive with no cover!
I just got in from doing a cleanup harvest with my peppers, and cherry tomatoes. Tonight's forecast has frost in it followed by a freeze tomorrow. I have turnips and Late Nagasaki Cabbage close to being ready to harvest, assorted lettuces that I am harvesting, and Pak Choy ready to harvest. I have Yellow Heart Winter Choy, Danvers carrots, kohlrabi, rutabagas, and a new generation of Purple Top and Tokinashi turnips growing. Some of my garlic has put up sprouts. My fall beets had very poor germination, so I only have a few growing. I probably won't try sowing again until February, with new seed. I moved my comfrey into my polytunnel greenhouse. Tomorrows forecast is for a 13 hour freeze with temps down to 27F, so I will be running power hand heating it tomorrow night. I can't let my winter tomatoes die off. I want fresh tomatoes for Christmas. Alabama zone 7B.
Thank you so much for all of this wonderful information. It’s cold and rainy rn where I’m at but when we get back from a family funeral ( my mother in law ) may she RIP, I plan to start my garden once again. I’ll do it in honor of her and you have given me inspiration. 💜
I started my beets in my Aerogarden and transplanted them into the raised beds. They grew really well and the leaves were very healthy and the bulbs were nice and large. They taste delicious.
I'm zone 8b high desert southern California. We have large temp swings with 70s during the day and low 30s at night. I cover plants at night with thin plastic and frost cover and it works great. My green stock towers i use a heavy duty trash bag and frost cover with bungy cords to hold them on. Remove during the day. We had lettuce all winter!
You’re a genious! I’m 42 years old! Gave up on cilantro cause I thought it was summer only. 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️ never got leaves. Growing great in November now cause I watched your other video.
I have it done well with direct sewing swiss chard this year. I only grew one plant but I’m a keep trying. Maybe I’ll start indoors or maybe I’ll start indoors and outdoors and see what happens.. 😊
You gave me so many new varieties!Those lettuces look awesome! My lettuces failed because weeds sprouted from the manure I used and overtook them. I've already harvested a round of collard and turnip greens. They were delicious! They grow back. I planted garlic as well, and I have perennial winter onions. Great stuff, guy! You gave me more ideas!
I've got some "42-day tomato" seedlings that I'm going to plant into pots in the next couple of days (and some brassica seedlings too). I'm in 9A in north central Florida so they stand a decent chance of producing.
Interesting. I think they'll still benefit from proper placement and sheltering. I'd put them in pots up against the south wall of the house so you can carry it in when it gets into the 30's.
I'm in Virginia and love growing 42 day tomatoes. I start mine early in spring and they go until frost. They're advertised as having more cold tolerance but I've also found them to be pretty heat tolerant too. I bet you'll have good success. They're good producers.
I'm in zone 6a. Currently growing 42-day tomato plants. Because of the cold, they aren't actually 42 days to harvest. They're approaching the 60 days mark and haven't flowered yet. I'm going to finish them indoors. Oh how I wish to be in a warmer zone.
@@meshab6049 here in FL it gets too hot for a lot of stuff in summer. So tomatoes have to be grown in spring and fall. The bugs and sand are tough on them.
Great stuff, exactly what I needed to know. Our agrivoltaic project is taking longer than we thought and didn't think we'd be able to get a crop in for the fall. Thanks !
It was 85 on Friday, now its 27 after our first frost yesterday, and then back in the 80s next week. Lets hope for a mild winter because my Rabe has been bolting from the heat. I feel like I should plant a variety of lettuce since our weather is always unpredictable! Ooh, but grow bags against the house would work well!
I’ve got most of these going right now 👍 the Swiss chard plants were transplanted in spring and they’re still producing huge stalks! I have them covered in similar hoop structures to protect from the coldest temperatures. We’ll see how this experiment goes.
I also have many of that list going right now, and my garden beds ( 7 big beds and hundreds of pots) are so busy, so dense like a tropical forests, just because I have so much seeds. I have all the seeds that he mentioned, but some I didn't grow because I don't have enough room in the raised beds. Some of my okras, tomato plants, many kinds of peppers and summer veggies,... still survived and produced, although barely like okras and tomatoes ( zone 8b), so I had to wait a bit more. Some veggies I don't grow if they are cheap, easy to get in the markets, taking so much room, I don't eat....like carrots, Swiss chard, cabbages, cauliflowers, garlic, turnips, rutabaga,...then I grow others to replace them. I have great success with other cresses, but not true watercress, although I really want to grow them. The seeds that I bought in the stores and online somehow didn't germinate, even in the optimum condition.
Tatsoi are also a great trap crop for those loper caterpillars. I kind of use them as a cover crop and the baby plants make spraying Bt so much more effective. This lets the broccoli and cabbage transplants grow without damage
Trap crop? I am growing Tatsoi and Bok Choy. Strangely, so far they look exactly alike. So my supplier might have mis labeled it. 😂 Question: Some of the leaves are almost 2 inches. Can I use the cut and come again method all winter for both Bok and Tat?
The thing about most fall crops is they’re either leafy greens or roots, so there are no requirements for insect pollination. You can just cover everything with insect nets and never have to worry about caterpillars.
We have the heavy rain tomorrow and that ushers in cooler weather. So I got my houseplants potted up and brought them in. I started cherry and dwarf tomatoes in August and between putting them outside on those warmer days and putting them under grow lights indoors on less hospitable days, all four plants are fruiting!! I’m hoping I can keep them going all winter and into next season. I’ve never tried it but I have the seeds so why not? Im growing my first fall garden and I think I’m going to have my first broccoli this weekend!
I started seeds for some tomato variety in August and grow them in container, but now the fruits are still green and it's going to be subfreezing, so they are in my garage. My growing season is short, but from my experiment this year I conclude if I germinate early variety with shorter days-to-harvest by late July they would produce fruits before the frost come. So next year I'm growing a dozen variety of early variety including dwarves. I don't like bringing outdoor container tomatoes inside the house because they usually have whiteflies or other pests, and also diseases that would proliferate and harm the indoor plants. For indoor, I am growing microdwarf tomatoes, you should check them out if you want to grow tomatoes indoor through the winter with less hassle.
@@erikahuxley I think I am growing the tiny tomatoes you're talking about. I have them in 6" pots and they are also producing. Did you get the ones from Baker Creek? I put all my houseplants outside in the summer and bring them in when the weather drops, and it's always been fine. I have little sticky traps to catch the gnats and stuff so that helps. I'm so excited to see fruit setting on my wild cherry tomatoes because they were so good through the summer. Everything is in now and under grow lights. Last year I moved my spinach and lettuce into the garage when we had an unseasonably cold spell in December and they all grew beautifully under the lights. I only have the cheap ones from Amazon but they seem to do a great job!
@@PattymacMakes There are lots more variety than what Baker Creek have. You can look up "renaissancefarms" which is run by Curtis and he has the most rare variety of tomato seeds including microdwarf. But I had good experience with some etsy sellers too, the last one I ordered from was JTHomesteadSeeds.
Wow!! Thank you for your super informative videos, especially for the new gardener!! Have you thought about writing a book? Or a series of books/topics? Dale could be in the appendix as a bonus- he's a cutie!
As gorgeous as Autumn is here in Michigan zone 6A right now, I'd swap with that NC weather you're showing here in a heartbeat, it's gotten cold here LOL. I let my cilantro go to seed early in the season & there were a lot of seeds I was looking forward to harvesting, but a pest or critter came along and took all of them. I wasn't prepared for that, now I'm down to just a few seeds and I am determined to grow them out & save seed next year, or indoors over the winter maybe.
I don’t plant cilantro anymore. It volunteers itself. Maybe your critter planted one for you. Learn to identify the seedling so you don’t weed them out next spring. They are easily relocated if you catch them small. Woke up to 21 this morning. Brrr. Ohio 5b/6a
Just planted some of those varieties 24 hours ago and getting ready to plant some more. I've got some of your videos on my favorites list on Google. That was hilarious with Dale!
@@miltonwelch8619 I hope so. The garlic bulbs were very expensive. I understand why, but I had to adjust how many I wanted when I saw the price. I'll gladly pay it at least a few more times since I want more garlic types in the coming years.
I planted the cucumbers and Kajari’s that you recommended (for Fall) and I’ve failed to get any fruit 😢I’m so bummed - I can’t tell if it’s bc of not enough sun or not enough water. Gardening is so challenging sometimes! Thanks for your great content 👍🏻
Check around for videos on cucumber additive, you make it with yeast sugar, and warm water. Let it sit and rise for 2 hours. 1 liter jar to one tablespoon yeast. There is a guy on here who swears by it and helps cucumbers grow fast!
@@TheMillennialGardener Here in Georgia we're having our first frost. I put plastic bags on my pepper plants and tomato plant and so far it has worked. I have a question about broccoli; is it better to direct sow it even when it's cold outside, or o germinate it indoors and then transplant it later outdoors?
I still see your asparagus plant in the back. Mine was still green and I cut them this morning. Hope I didn't kill them. I covered them with cardboard boxes for the winter. Zone 6.
You won't harm asparagus by cutting them. Those roots are ridiculous. I can't wait to cut mine down. They're intrusive. I wish I planted them in a more isolated spot.
Hi i just harvested 3 grow bags of okinawan sweet potatos. Most are miserably small, but i have one huge sweet potato of 34.85 oz. My sweet potatos were chewed down by deer in the middle of this year. I live in Wilmington.
I haven't been able to get good results from Okinawan sweet potatoes yet. This is only my 2nd try, but they're definitely a lot harder to grow here than varieties like Beauregard, Stoke's Purple and Murasaki. I'm guessing they have poor yields, which is probably part of the reason they're so expensive.
Have you thought about building one "hoop house" for things that are cold tolerant but not heavy frost tolerant? About Swiss Chard, mine aren't under cover and survived several 12-15 degree freezes without frost damage. I know, right? Same variety. IDK why.
Watch your green thumb. Dale might eat it! 🤣 I currently have several of those veggies sprouting in the garden right now but you mentioned a couple i forgot about (Dill and Leek - two of my favorites). Thanks!
Do you wrap your leeks to blanche them? I live in Burlington NC and I wrap my Celery to make them taste milder. I want to grow leeks, but don’t know if I have to wrap them to make them white? By the way, I watch all your videos. I grow in 5 gallon buckets and 5, 7, 10, &;15 gallon black canvas grow bags. I only do container gardening because I am 75 and it is easier on me physically. I pre-germinated 240 carrots seeds of 6 varieties in bowls with wet paper towels on warm heater in house. Last weekend, you were right, it was 85 and I went out and planted about a hundred sprouts in 3 10 gallon grow bags. I am hoping they will make it after getting them to germinate in 5 and 6 days instead of 21! Lol.
That’s going to depend on what you’re growing. Different plants need very different fertilizer types and schedules. I have a huge library of videos in this playlist: ua-cam.com/play/PL1gY7BoYBGIGp0XbmUDUVdDY-TNWg1mdw.html&si=htMUhA8D0q-7bLlH
I’m in the PNW zone 8b. So far my fall garden it doing very well, especially my lettuces, I’m harvesting lettuce every few days. My question is about some pollinator attracting perennials I planted in my garden in large pots, too heavy for me to move. The area is somewhat protected, a small lower area in the yard surrounded by fencing and the back my garage in the SW corner of my property. What is the best way to protect these plants? I have mulched heavily and I have buckets. Right now they are still flowering. Thank you 😊
Yes. The key is to get things off to a strong start in the fall when the sun is still somewhat strong. Once winter comes, things slow down,. If your plants are a good size, this can work to your advantage, because you can treat outside like a giant refrigerator and your crops will hold until you need them.
Pls comment on why my cabbage planted in grow bags July 31,2023 have not form heads now on November 1st. I am in Toronto canada, we have relatively good weather condition, we had a minus -1 Celsius overnight October 30, and they're covered with plant blankets. Thanks
We had three nights of freezing temps around the first of Nov., and I saw videos saying you could plant potatoes in Nov. I planted some sprouting kitchen waste in a bucket. Then the temp went up quite warm during the day, and the potato leaves are growing like crazy. Is this how it is supposed to go? I think in earlier years I planted later in the winter and never saw any leaves until early spring.
The problem with going by growing zones is that, technically I am in zone 8b which has an average cold temp 5 degrees warmer than you in 8a, but while you are enjoying 80 degree temps right now we are struggling to get to upper 40s. So even tho I sowed leeks, bunching onions, romaine and cilantro a month ago, my tiny little starts are struggling to grow at all because it's just so cold. 😕
Hello. I can see your response to this. What is the best place to grow in your area and close to the beach. Property in 100k range. Deep water well. I saw maybe a place on the river?
I wish Baker Creek had Moroccan Creole garlic this year. I went back to California for a month (May, less rain) and my garlic got fried. This year I tried to grow garlic that was on an episode of Welcome to Flatch. I wasn't successful. It wasn't a spectacular variety anyway. Just something for the 4H Fair episode. Grown in a plastic barrel from the Christmas episode.
Your garlic got burned from cold? If your location is so cold that it can burn garlic, you may have planted them too early. It may be a good idea to sow them later so they sit in the ground to accumulate chill and germinate later.
@@TheMillennialGardener I wasn't around to water them. I live in your area. The garlic was part of a TV shoot in Castle Hayne. I was gone for May, which seems to rain less than April or June.
Oh, OK. Garlic really needs a thick layer of mulch. Our shoulder seasons (April/May and Oct/Nov) can get very dry. I've recorded 0.97 inches of rain since September 24th at my house in my weather station, and we don't have any rain in the forecast for the next 2 weeks. Mulch is your best friend.
You mentioned planting bulbing onion in late winter… when do you recommend planting bulbing onion set in zone 7a maryland? What variety of bulbing onion are you growing? From onion sets or from seeds?

Tomorrows forecast is for a 13 hour freeze with temps down to 27F, so I will be running power hand heating it tomorrow night. I can't let my winter tomatoes die off. I want fresh tomatoes for Christmas. Alabama zone 7B.
That’s love for life, and a friend forever.
Thank you so much for all of this wonderful information. It’s cold and rainy rn where I’m at but when we get back from a family funeral ( my mother in law ) may she RIP, I plan to start my garden once again. I’ll do it in honor of her and you have given me inspiration. 💜
Aww, that's really nice. I'm sure she'd approve. Sorry for your loss.
@@TheMillennialGardener ~ Ty, I’m sure she would. Hug Dale for me.
I started my beets in my Aerogarden and transplanted them into the raised beds. They grew really well and the leaves were very healthy and the bulbs were nice and large. They taste delicious.
Thank you so much !! I’m in Zone 8a Georgia and a first time gardener. This was some great info .
I'm glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!
I'm zone 8b high desert southern California. We have large temp swings with 70s during the day and low 30s at night. I cover plants at night with thin plastic and frost cover and it works great. My green stock towers i use a heavy duty trash bag and frost cover with bungy cords to hold them on. Remove during the day. We had lettuce all winter!
Thank you, keep spurring us on
, and may you reach all your channel goals!!🙏
You’re welcome! I appreciate it.
Dude! Mind blown how much info you packed in that video.
Thank you!
I still have kale plants from last October as well!
You’re a genious! I’m 42 years old! Gave up on cilantro cause I thought it was summer only. 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️ never got leaves. Growing great in November now cause I watched your other video.
This is great! I'm going to rewatch this video and take notes !
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!
I have it done well with direct sewing swiss chard this year. I only grew one plant but I’m a keep trying. Maybe I’ll start indoors or maybe I’ll start indoors and outdoors and see what happens.. 😊
You gave me so many new varieties!Those lettuces look awesome! My lettuces failed because weeds sprouted from the manure I used and overtook them. I've already harvested a round of collard and turnip greens. They were delicious! They grow back. I planted garlic as well, and I have perennial winter onions. Great stuff, guy! You gave me more ideas!
Zone 9a here. The fall and is my favorite grow season. Thanks for the hardneck garlic tip.
I'm so happy I get to grow a fall vegetable garden again. Wonderful video, thank you ❤
Lots of hugs and kisses for Dale ❤😊
You’re welcome! Dale says hello 🐶
Thank you for the breakdown of what can be grown in winter. All your tips are very helpful ❤
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!
❤ Thanks for sharing what you have learned!! I sure didnt know that i can grow dill in fall yay!!
I've got some "42-day tomato" seedlings that I'm going to plant into pots in the next couple of days (and some brassica seedlings too). I'm in 9A in north central Florida so they stand a decent chance of producing.
Interesting. I think they'll still benefit from proper placement and sheltering. I'd put them in pots up against the south wall of the house so you can carry it in when it gets into the 30's.
Never heard of those tomatoes. I'm in 9a FL also. I'll look into them.
I'm in Virginia and love growing 42 day tomatoes. I start mine early in spring and they go until frost. They're advertised as having more cold tolerance but I've also found them to be pretty heat tolerant too. I bet you'll have good success. They're good producers.
I'm in zone 6a. Currently growing 42-day tomato plants. Because of the cold, they aren't actually 42 days to harvest. They're approaching the 60 days mark and haven't flowered yet. I'm going to finish them indoors. Oh how I wish to be in a warmer zone.
@@meshab6049 here in FL it gets too hot for a lot of stuff in summer. So tomatoes have to be grown in spring and fall. The bugs and sand are tough on them.
Thanks for this video and all the great information!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. 😊
Great stuff, exactly what I needed to know. Our agrivoltaic project is taking longer than we thought and didn't think we'd be able to get a crop in for the fall. Thanks !
It was 85 on Friday, now its 27 after our first frost yesterday, and then back in the 80s next week. Lets hope for a mild winter because my Rabe has been bolting from the heat. I feel like I should plant a variety of lettuce since our weather is always unpredictable! Ooh, but grow bags against the house would work well!
Ur dog is smart n cute 🥰 thank you for the info on cold weather veggies I’ll try it 👍👍👍
I’ve got most of these going right now 👍 the Swiss chard plants were transplanted in spring and they’re still producing huge stalks! I have them covered in similar hoop structures to protect from the coldest temperatures. We’ll see how this experiment goes.
I also have many of that list going right now, and my garden beds ( 7 big beds and hundreds of pots) are so busy, so dense like a tropical forests, just because I have so much seeds. I have all the seeds that he mentioned, but some I didn't grow because I don't have enough room in the raised beds. Some of my okras, tomato plants, many kinds of peppers and summer veggies,... still survived and produced, although barely like okras and tomatoes ( zone 8b), so I had to wait a bit more. Some veggies I don't grow if they are cheap, easy to get in the markets, taking so much room, I don't eat....like carrots, Swiss chard, cabbages, cauliflowers, garlic, turnips, rutabaga,...then I grow others to replace them. I have great success with other cresses, but not true watercress, although I really want to grow them. The seeds that I bought in the stores and online somehow didn't germinate, even in the optimum condition.
So much great advise in one video. I will definitely be trying out the tips you gave for parsley and cilantro.
Excellent video with a lot of good information. Learned a lot. Thanks.
Tatsoi are also a great trap crop for those loper caterpillars. I kind of use them as a cover crop and the baby plants make spraying Bt so much more effective. This lets the broccoli and cabbage transplants grow without damage
bless you. I have that on hand, cool
Trap crop?
I am growing Tatsoi and Bok Choy. Strangely, so far they look exactly alike. So my supplier might have mis labeled it. 😂
Question: Some of the leaves are almost 2 inches. Can I use the cut and come again method all winter for both Bok and Tat?
The thing about most fall crops is they’re either leafy greens or roots, so there are no requirements for insect pollination. You can just cover everything with insect nets and never have to worry about caterpillars.
This video is sooooooo helpful! 🙏🏽👍🏾👏🏾☺️
Yesterday I was checking my seeds and was sowing some of the plants that you suggested.
Outstanding!
Thanks! I learned a lot about dill, cilantro and parsley.
You’re welcome!
Very helpful! Glad to find your channel and thankful for this information
We have the heavy rain tomorrow and that ushers in cooler weather. So I got my houseplants potted up and brought them in. I started cherry and dwarf tomatoes in August and between putting them outside on those warmer days and putting them under grow lights indoors on less hospitable days, all four plants are fruiting!! I’m hoping I can keep them going all winter and into next season. I’ve never tried it but I have the seeds so why not? Im growing my first fall garden and I think I’m going to have my first broccoli this weekend!
I started seeds for some tomato variety in August and grow them in container, but now the fruits are still green and it's going to be subfreezing, so they are in my garage. My growing season is short, but from my experiment this year I conclude if I germinate early variety with shorter days-to-harvest by late July they would produce fruits before the frost come. So next year I'm growing a dozen variety of early variety including dwarves.
I don't like bringing outdoor container tomatoes inside the house because they usually have whiteflies or other pests, and also diseases that would proliferate and harm the indoor plants. For indoor, I am growing microdwarf tomatoes, you should check them out if you want to grow tomatoes indoor through the winter with less hassle.
@@erikahuxley I think I am growing the tiny tomatoes you're talking about. I have them in 6" pots and they are also producing. Did you get the ones from Baker Creek? I put all my houseplants outside in the summer and bring them in when the weather drops, and it's always been fine. I have little sticky traps to catch the gnats and stuff so that helps. I'm so excited to see fruit setting on my wild cherry tomatoes because they were so good through the summer.
Everything is in now and under grow lights. Last year I moved my spinach and lettuce into the garage when we had an unseasonably cold spell in December and they all grew beautifully under the lights. I only have the cheap ones from Amazon but they seem to do a great job!
@@PattymacMakes There are lots more variety than what Baker Creek have. You can look up "renaissancefarms" which is run by Curtis and he has the most rare variety of tomato seeds including microdwarf. But I had good experience with some etsy sellers too, the last one I ordered from was JTHomesteadSeeds.
This is the first time I’ve heard of pouring boiling water over parsley seeds. I’ll try it!
It works pretty well. It's the only way I've ever gotten them to germinate.
I’m a little late for November. I just now saw this video.
I’ll have a video on December planting coming out within the next week.
@@TheMillennialGardener I can’t wait!!! Thank you!!!!
Another excellent informative video, thank you very much.
Great job of information
Vietnamese Purple Garlic let's gooooo. --- We're trying to grow them up here in zone 7.
I've never heard of it. Sounds interesting.
You're the best! Just love your channel! Thanks from Southern California! ❤
I appreciate it! Thanks for watching!
Good boy, Dale, you've been patient. Now off with the cone!
It came off Friday and he's a lot happier.
Wow!! Thank you for your super informative videos, especially for the new gardener!! Have you thought about writing a book? Or a series of books/topics? Dale could be in the appendix as a bonus- he's a cutie!
🌺Yay Dale gets that cone off 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🩷
He did! And he's very happy about it.
As gorgeous as Autumn is here in Michigan zone 6A right now, I'd swap with that NC weather you're showing here in a heartbeat, it's gotten cold here LOL. I let my cilantro go to seed early in the season & there were a lot of seeds I was looking forward to harvesting, but a pest or critter came along and took all of them. I wasn't prepared for that, now I'm down to just a few seeds and I am determined to grow them out & save seed next year, or indoors over the winter maybe.
I don’t plant cilantro anymore. It volunteers itself. Maybe your critter planted one for you. Learn to identify the seedling so you don’t weed them out next spring. They are easily relocated if you catch them small. Woke up to 21 this morning. Brrr. Ohio 5b/6a
Plant them in pots and wheel the pots inside on the cold days. Too cold in Northern Ill.
I think a lot can be done if located up against the south wall of a home with a hoop structure, sort of making a lean-to greenhouse.
Thank you for the carrot advice!
You're welcome! Thanks for watching!
Amazing content. Thanks!!
You're welcome!
Just planted some of those varieties 24 hours ago and getting ready to plant some more. I've got some of your videos on my favorites list on Google. That was hilarious with Dale!
same! We've got several that we just purchased.
@@oldman1111 Hopefully you'll eventually plant them from seed, which is way less expensive!
@@miltonwelch8619 I hope so. The garlic bulbs were very expensive. I understand why, but I had to adjust how many I wanted when I saw the price. I'll gladly pay it at least a few more times since I want more garlic types in the coming years.
Thanks. Great video.
You're welcome!
Such great information! Thank you so much MG! 😊👍👍
You're welcome! Thank you for watching!
I love your video! Thank you!
You're welcome!
I planted the cucumbers and Kajari’s that you recommended (for Fall) and I’ve failed to get any fruit 😢I’m so bummed - I can’t tell if it’s bc of not enough sun or not enough water. Gardening is so challenging sometimes! Thanks for your great content 👍🏻
Likely the days got too short and the sun too weak. That’s often what happens. Cucumbers need long days and warm nights to flourish.
@@TheMillennialGardener Thanks for the feedback! I’ll keep at it :-)
Check around for videos on cucumber additive, you make it with yeast sugar, and warm water. Let it sit and rise for 2 hours. 1 liter jar to one tablespoon yeast. There is a guy on here who swears by it and helps cucumbers grow fast!
We have a freeze warning here and I’ve had to move some plants inside. Lately we’ve had a lot of changes in the weather. Thanks
The Fall Rollercoaster has begun. We are certainly going to get a frost Wednesday, possibly Thursday.
@@TheMillennialGardener Here in Georgia we're having our first frost. I put plastic bags on my pepper plants and tomato plant and so far it has worked. I have a question about broccoli; is it better to direct sow it even when it's cold outside, or o germinate it indoors and then transplant it later outdoors?
Yes. It already is.
I still see your asparagus plant in the back. Mine was still green and I cut them this morning. Hope I didn't kill them. I covered them with cardboard boxes for the winter. Zone 6.
You won't harm asparagus by cutting them. Those roots are ridiculous. I can't wait to cut mine down. They're intrusive. I wish I planted them in a more isolated spot.
Hi i just harvested 3 grow bags of okinawan sweet potatos. Most are miserably small, but i have one huge sweet potato of 34.85 oz. My sweet potatos were chewed down by deer in the middle of this year. I live in Wilmington.
I haven't been able to get good results from Okinawan sweet potatoes yet. This is only my 2nd try, but they're definitely a lot harder to grow here than varieties like Beauregard, Stoke's Purple and Murasaki. I'm guessing they have poor yields, which is probably part of the reason they're so expensive.
Thank You ❤
You're welcome 😊
Have you thought about building one "hoop house" for things that are cold tolerant but not heavy frost tolerant?
About Swiss Chard, mine aren't under cover and survived several 12-15 degree freezes without frost damage. I know, right? Same variety. IDK why.
Watch your green thumb. Dale might eat it! 🤣
I currently have several of those veggies sprouting in the garden right now but you mentioned a couple i forgot about (Dill and Leek - two of my favorites). Thanks!
Oh my gosh. No wonder my dill, cilantro & parsley all died! 😂 Another incredibly helpful video!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!
We had 20 degrees this morning in Franklin, NC 😢
Do you wrap your leeks to blanche them? I live in Burlington NC and I wrap my Celery to make them taste milder. I want to grow leeks, but don’t know if I have to wrap them to make them white? By the way, I watch all your videos. I grow in 5 gallon buckets and 5, 7, 10, &;15 gallon black canvas grow bags. I only do container gardening because I am 75 and it is easier on me physically. I pre-germinated 240 carrots seeds of 6 varieties in bowls with wet paper towels on warm heater in house. Last weekend, you were right, it was 85 and I went out and planted about a hundred sprouts in 3 10 gallon grow bags. I am hoping they will make it after getting them to germinate in 5 and 6 days instead of 21! Lol.
Can u do a video on fertilizer schedule from seed to end?
That’s going to depend on what you’re growing. Different plants need very different fertilizer types and schedules. I have a huge library of videos in this playlist: ua-cam.com/play/PL1gY7BoYBGIGp0XbmUDUVdDY-TNWg1mdw.html&si=htMUhA8D0q-7bLlH
I didn’t know dill was cold tolerant. Lots of great info!
Thanks! It's quite hardy. It's not the hardiest, for sure, but it is growable all winter where I live.
I am In Jacksonville NC
Do you sell the seedsas a package or have a link to someone who does please? Great info ❤
Great video
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks my brother 🙏. I am really late in planning
You're welcome! Better late than never.
I’m in the PNW zone 8b. So far my fall garden it doing very well, especially my lettuces, I’m harvesting lettuce every few days.
My question is about some pollinator attracting perennials I planted in my garden in large pots, too heavy for me to move. The area is somewhat protected, a small lower area in the yard surrounded by fencing and the back my garage in the SW corner of my property.
What is the best way to protect these plants? I have mulched heavily and I have buckets.
Right now they are still flowering.
Thank you 😊
Awesome video, thank you! You’re still able to harvest all of these throughout December and January?
Yes. The key is to get things off to a strong start in the fall when the sun is still somewhat strong. Once winter comes, things slow down,. If your plants are a good size, this can work to your advantage, because you can treat outside like a giant refrigerator and your crops will hold until you need them.
Thanks 🙏
You’re welcome!
Pls comment on why my cabbage planted in grow bags July 31,2023 have not form heads now on November 1st. I am in Toronto canada, we have relatively good weather condition, we had a minus -1 Celsius overnight October 30, and they're covered with plant blankets. Thanks
Banana trees, in Carolina? Wow
We had three nights of freezing temps around the first of Nov., and I saw videos saying you could plant potatoes in Nov. I planted some sprouting kitchen waste in a bucket. Then the temp went up quite warm during the day, and the potato leaves are growing like crazy. Is this how it is supposed to go? I think in earlier years I planted later in the winter and never saw any leaves until early spring.
The problem with going by growing zones is that, technically I am in zone 8b which has an average cold temp 5 degrees warmer than you in 8a, but while you are enjoying 80 degree temps right now we are struggling to get to upper 40s. So even tho I sowed leeks, bunching onions, romaine and cilantro a month ago, my tiny little starts are struggling to grow at all because it's just so cold. 😕
Hello. I can see your response to this. What is the best place to grow in your area and close to the beach. Property in 100k range. Deep water well. I saw maybe a place on the river?
amazing content. thx!
I appreciate it! Thanks for watching!
I wish Baker Creek had Moroccan Creole garlic this year. I went back to California for a month (May, less rain) and my garlic got fried. This year I tried to grow garlic that was on an episode of Welcome to Flatch. I wasn't successful. It wasn't a spectacular variety anyway. Just something for the 4H Fair episode. Grown in a plastic barrel from the Christmas episode.
Your garlic got burned from cold? If your location is so cold that it can burn garlic, you may have planted them too early. It may be a good idea to sow them later so they sit in the ground to accumulate chill and germinate later.
@@TheMillennialGardener I wasn't around to water them. I live in your area. The garlic was part of a TV shoot in Castle Hayne. I was gone for May, which seems to rain less than April or June.
Oh, OK. Garlic really needs a thick layer of mulch. Our shoulder seasons (April/May and Oct/Nov) can get very dry. I've recorded 0.97 inches of rain since September 24th at my house in my weather station, and we don't have any rain in the forecast for the next 2 weeks. Mulch is your best friend.
You mentioned planting bulbing onion in late winter… when do you recommend planting bulbing onion set in zone 7a maryland? What variety of bulbing onion are you growing? From onion sets or from seeds?
23 degrees here in southeast mo
Wow, that has to be close to a record.
