I live in SW Florida Zone 10a. I teach so I tend to mess up and garden over the summer and miss 'cold weather' gardening. Thank you for an informative simple video to follow. :) Happy gardening.
I respect and appreciate that you do different videos for the different zones. Spent most of my life in zone 5b but now am in 9a so it makes a massive difference, to say the least. Thank you!!
Thanks! I was looking at the Farmer's Almanac planting dates for my zip code but the closest weather station is at a higher altitude that gets snow, whereas I'm just below snow line and possibly in a different zone, so I was questioning whether I could plant a bit earlier than suggested. I'll give it a try!
This was so useful! Arizona has had a sudden moist weather since mid December and hopefully this January will be better and I can get started with a new garden. Better, well thought out, and efficient, one again thank you for the information. Coming across this video gave me a better understanding of what to grow for the new year, this'll be great!
Thanks for this video! I sowed bok choy, pak choi, red & green romaineand buttercrunch seeds early Nov last year for the first time (as a new gardener). I was harvesting using the cut and come again method and it was great! Until we had 70-75 degree weather this past week. Everything is starting to bolt and the lettuces are bitter. It rarely rained this very mild winter. Oh well I’ll try again. - Zee, N. Cali zone 10a
@@ihopeugrow Sorry, yes that''s what I meant, . My lettuce usually doesn't get bitter until the temps jump into the 80's. I might suggest trying a few of the summer crisp lettuces, like Nevada or Muir. They hold up against heat a lot better.
I live in Zone eight, Tallahassee, Florida. I have luck with everything but squash! Bugs bore into the stem and I rarely get more than one squash. I tried putting foil around the stems, but that didn't work! Help.
We live in zone 9, question is were do you get your information from because it not accurate we still have a lot of snow on the ground not likely to plant till way into march or April. Do you suggest another site to get the needed information for zone 9 resident gardeners.
May I ask where you live? Most zone 9 gardens don't even get snow. Most of the gardeners that I know who live in Zone 9 are already planting spring cool season crops and thinking about warm season crops.
Central Valley California. 9b 5:27 This is basically just veggies. I'm thinking along the lines of Food Forest type things. Any suggestions? Can I plant an avocado pit?
Avocados do grow in the Central Valley but they don’t handle frost . You would have to cover them in the winter . I’ve got 3 pits growing in pots indoors and I’m planing on planting them outside this year or next year . Pineapples grow beautifully in the Central Valley . I grow them I’m pots outside and bring them indoors for the winter .
There is a link in the description of the video that you can follow to find out what zone you live in. And that article also explains a little more about what garden zones mean.
Hello zone 10b here! I wanted to start Zinneas (January) does this mean I have to put the seedling under a grow light indoors? Or can I place them on a window sill??
I'm not a big fan of windowsills, even south facing windows don't offer as much light as a grow light our outdoors. But in Zone 10b you don't have frost so you really could just plant the seeds directly out in the garden if you wanted too. We do that every year here in Zone 6 (in May of course, not January).
For Zone 10a / Zone 10west (So Cal), please do NOT put your zinnias into the garden until April. I read this in Pat Welsh's Guide to Southern California Organic Gardening and then ignored this guidance and I'm sad to say she's right. Zinnias want warmer weather. Indoors, I start peppers mid-January, cherry tomatoes at the very end of January/early February. I wait until mid-February to start squashes and cucumbers. They get so big so quickly, they're only in pots for 4 weeks before transplanting. We can still get temps in the upper 30s in March, so I prefer to time things to get warm season crops in the ground mid-March.

Thanks so much. I’m just getting started in zone 9 and I am surprised I can get started now!
Yep, in the warmer zones there is a lot you can get going early!
Thanks for this great info! Excited to get a head start in the garden this year. I always start so late in the spring/summer time
Good luck!
I live in Shasta county California (zone 9) but we are so far north we still get snow

Sounds like a great experiment, did the lettuces bolt too? Bok choy bolts really easy but I'm surprised the lettuces got better at 75.

This is basically just veggies.

Any suggestions?
Can I plant an avocado pit?
Jennifer Grove I second this . Small space food forest haha container food forest litter sky food forest gardening in the forest ! All that.
Avocados do grow in the Central Valley but they don’t handle frost . You would have to cover them in the winter . I’ve got 3 pits growing in pots indoors and I’m planing on planting them outside this year or next year . Pineapples grow beautifully in the Central Valley .

Can you start from seed even if you have mulch in place?
Should be fine, just pull the mulch back and plant, then replace the mulch once the seedlings are up.
Would be nice if you explained what is zone nine zone 10 for us beginers

Putting things in the ground in zone 9B is a struggle. I need to know what soil to use. Nothing but pure beach sand texture🙄
Sounds like you will need raised beds. and I would look at a mix of compost, peat moss, and pearlite.
