Zone 8A/8B in southeast NC and I follow the same planting schedule as you guys. I also over winter short day onions and softneck garlic and they do just fine.
Thank-you for this subject. I’m a longtime subscriber, but I recently moved to 9a low country South Carolina. Heat and humidity are stifling. What an adjustment, your experience is invaluable and welcomed!
I am new to gardening in Virginia. This will be my first time growing cool weather crops. Your video has all the information I was looking for. Thank you for sharing!
Hey Travis. We're in Virginia zone 7 here, we definitely plant cool season in the fall into winter here. Last year , it all did good til the artic blast nailed us in January but i did have a mustard green that was covered that actually made it til spring planting. We have our transplants started. This week its in the 80's, and we are doing soil prep and removing summer crops, I threw up some 55% shade cloth to try to help the soil out a bit during the transition, planning to plant brassicas under it before long .
Up in central Maine (zone 4/5), in July and into August, I start seeds and direct seed throughout my garden stuff for my "fall" garden -- really can't call it a "winter" garden because we get hard frosts starting sometimes in November that wipes pretty much everything out, so ideally I have things planted to enjoy the "fall" garden in Sept-November. Up here a true winter garden requires some type of cover/hoop house, which I do want to explore one of these days. My biggest issue is not just sitting there and admiring the fall garden and to get to harvesting, because those first hard frosts can come and just wipe you out overnight, no matter how lovely the fall garden was looking the day before.
Just started growing a fall garden a few years ago here in southeast Oklahoma. Haven’t been able to overwinter anything except some multiplying onions. Last couple years the temps got pretty low froze all I had planted. Everything does taste better in the fall tho. Fixing to put cabbage, greens, beets, carrots and a few tomato plants in the ground In the next couple weeks.
Love your show, been watching you for ages! In am 8a in North Carolina! I grow my kales, garlic p, collards, carrots, beets, mustard greens swiss chard all winter. I cut and come again my greens.
NC 8a here too! I want to grow similar things for the first time this Fall/Winter. I’d love to have pointers for collards, onions, carrots and kale. Even overwintering. Thank you in advance!
I'm in 8a, near Memphis and I'm planning a second round of green beans, red cabbage, bok choi, collards, kale, chard, and diakon. In October I'll plant garlic and shallots. In my area I can overwinter pretty much all of my brassicas. Most of them even survived that arctic blast we had a few years ago. We got down to -10 for a week, and all my kale, collards, and chard survived with minimal damage.
Im in Central Florida Orlando area and according to my notes our first day below 90 deg last year was oct 28th. We also never had a frost or freeze all winter. I hope this helps someone
I always try to plant my English Peas in the 12 days of Christmas. Dec 25th to Jan. 5.and the a second planting in late Jan.( just in case the late frost hits when the peas are in flower). This gives the peas enough time to make before the 80's arrive.
Well, Trav, were in Houston. Zone 9b. Love your entire farming and information. Reminds me of when Daddy and granddaddy were alive trying to teach me 😂 anyway thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience. Say hi 🖐🏽 to the wife 🎉
Jeff from East Tennessee. I do have short day onions up and growing. Cabbage is up and growing. Just seeded broccoli. Have to fight the heat with these plants. Putting some of these plants in shade up on tables to get them out of the hot sun. Moving right into fall. Clearing off old summer veggies that are done. Will get ride of weeds, then till up an area. Next I will put down a lot of mushroom compost in each row. Till it in good and plant my rows. Cabbage will be first and later will be broccoli. My onions will go in sometime in late October. As it gets cooler, I will add kale, collards,mustard greens,lettuce and last spinach!! This is my fall garden. Lots of cabbage and broccoli will take up the most of my garden. Maybe around 150 to 200 plants!! A short row of the other plants. Thanks!
In Austin 9a it's always a race in fall to beat or avoid the frost while missing the heat and pests of September. I use 1/2 inch pex water pipe to make low tunnel frost protection.
I'm in 9B in south Louisiana. I'm trying to plan out my Fall Garden. I'm planning on planting Brussel Sprouts of the Purple Variety as being in s Louisiana we like everything with the Mardi Gras/LSU colors
Got my cabbage, kale and collard seeds started. @lazydog you had asked on an earlier video if anyone had tried the Top Chop variety of collards. I have started a 9 cell tray of seeds for my raised bed. I’ll let you know how they perform for me. I also started the GA Southern that you recommend so I can see how they compare. Please include info on timing for starting our short day onion seed for transplants in the upcoming videos. BTW - those Louisiana Shallots in your site are 🎉 fantastic. Jumped out of the ground and kicking in less than a week! I’m a believer ~ Thanks again
Here in Arkansas I'm in zone 7b, right on the 8a line. Ive over wintered kale and carrots here before. Going to try to put in a little more effort to over winter more this year. Been hard growing my transplants out so far this year with the bug pressure. Even non organic pesticides aren't able to keep the bugs off my brassicas, eating them down as quick as they pop
Great video! Love the list-I love growing spinach in the fall and have had some luck with Sun angel variety. I live in Georgia so I am always looking for varieties that are slow to bolt.
Glad to see you didn't get washed away by Debbie. 😁 So you mentioned timing for planting short day onion sets here in 9a. What about from seed? When would you suggest direct sowing these? I got some red creole and and early texas grano seeds i wanna try out this season. Or should i just do my own starts? I've never done onions in trays before... Thanks
You'll definitely want to grow your own plants, and then transplant those. They're easy to germinate in trays. I'll start mine probably early September.
I’m so glad you fared very well during the hurricane that came through. We had a lot of rain here in Savannah Georgia. We are east of you, Coastal. You did not mention anything about garlic and I presume that is November as well???
Good morning went to take up my corn and I pull the roots along with the cornstalks and found some grub worms. Can I leave them or need to get rid of them. Will they turn into something that’s bad for the garden as bad insects that I have to take care of later. Thank You
Travis, thank you for this video. I have a question for you. I’m in Panama City so in your growing zone and I am wondering what type of pollinator flowers can I plant that will bloom through the winter? I have a 16 x 80‘ berm that I just took all the zinnias off and I need to plant something back and I don’t know what to plant.. any suggestions? Thank you.
Thanks for all of the great videos Travis! Q: When you're starting your cool season crop seeds in trays in August, isn't the heat in the greenhouse too much? I'm in zone 9a too and have a greenhouse with rollup sides and my greenhouse is HOT in August. Do you do anything different? Start seeds indoors or anything?
I start mine in the greenhouse usually with no issues. I have a shade cloth on mine as well as the roll-up sides. I do have to wait a little later to do lettuce, but most of the brassicas germinate just fine.
Travis, isn't your greenhouse too hot for seed starting? It is not any cooler than outside temps. I thought you need to really start them in AC in Georgia to have any success.
I'm in central South Carolina and would like to try some of your brussels sprouts and cauliflower in grow bags. What time frame would you suggest for starting seeds indoors for later transplant into the bags? Our average temp in October is 78/54 and November 69/45. Thanks John
Hey I've been meaning to ask you... WHERE are your DEER?? I'm in Milledgeville and I can't grow crap unless it's fenced in?? Even my first year fig trees have cages until they are large enough.. I KNOW there's deer in Moultrie Ga, I've seen them??? Buddy you must have found a sweet spot, or you have electric fence that we can't see on camera ??? I've been following you for a while, and haven't seen ONE DEER??
@@baneverything5580 No they don't, I have a 5 acre property and them lil sob's will eat everything you plant if it's not fenced in.. I wanna know how Travis does it, he doesn't have outside dogs roaming around only Stella, and that has to be the sweetest dog in Ga 😂🤣 im only 2 1/2 hours from them?

Direct seeded Siberian Kale in late July doing well so far

Why don't you plant turnips anymore? Thanks for the great video.
I’m so glad you fared very well during the hurricane that came through. We had a lot of rain here in Savannah Georgia. We are east of you, Coastal.

Yes, garlic is around the same time as onions.
@@LazyDogFarm that’s what I thought. I just wanted to be sure. Thank you I appreciate it.
Love it!

There aren't many, but it seems like Calendula has done pretty well for us in the past throughout the winter.
@@LazyDogFarm thanks!!!!!!

It's not too hot. Started all my seeds late last week and have gotten really good germination on everything.

I'd get them started asap and transplant them as soon as they're ready. You're probably a little ahead of us in SC.
@@LazyDogFarm thank you....just ordered from your page.
I have a raised bed of asparagus. One I cut ferns back, would putting spinach in the bed for fall, present any issues?
Not sure. Never grown much asparagus.
I guess I messed up just put my cucumbers in yesterday,only 3...so I guess I'll be replanting them😔
Where can I find head lettuce seeds from I’m in zone 8B
We'll have some of our favorite varieties on our site probably later next week.
@@LazyDogFarm Good to know because I'll be placing an order and want to get some head lettuce. Thanks Travis

get two big outside dogs and you wont have deer or any other critters

I don't have any tricks. We're surrounded by a bunch of wide open farm fields, so they tend to stay tucked in the woods behind those fields.
@@LazyDogFarm So you did find a sweet spot, very rare in Ga..👍
