You are amazing. So much knowledge. So many charge for information. God will definitely bless you for giving back. This is saving lives believe it or not. Freaking possum
Every generation of the entirety of human history of my family was growing food up until my grandparents and parents. I feel so lucky to have UA-cam channels like yours as a resource to get that information back that they lost.
It's a shame. In the quest for convenience, we have lost many of the things that connect us both to each other, and also to nature. Hopefully, we can get back to the simple things that ground us.
My boyfriend recently had surgery to remove a tumor, as he has cancer. Since he wants to detox with green smoothies, I’m thinking of growing greens for him. I’m new to gardening, so this video was really helpful. I got some great ideas for what veggies I can grow in my zone. Thank you so much!
That is definitely a good idea. Anything you can do to improve his diet and add nutrient density has to be helpful, while eliminating the processed foods at the same time. I hope he recovers quickly 🙏
I went though cancer and the kind I had was life sucking because the treatment will affect me the rest of my life and there's multiple issues I deal with. Food cooked with love and is as healthy as possible is to me, one of the best gifts possible you could give. If you grow wonderful food and prepare it in healthy ways I know if I were on the receiving end I'd love it. It took me about 2 years though to get most of the savory flavors back and about 5 years to get back most the sweet flavors. But if I want it, I have to do it which is fine. It's a gift I give myself, to be outside doing my best to raise the most healthy food I can. I'm also in the same boat in that I started this year and for next Spring I plan to have 5 bed. Right now I have two.
@@johndoh5182 it sounds to me like you had throat cancer from what you have said. I am 14 months free of HPV throat cancer and I am dealing with the side effects of radiation! I don't taste sweets and I am just starting to taste some foods. I drink bland tasting smoothies, and force myself to eat some foods even though they now have the taste and consistency of straw. If you did have the same kind of cancer, you know what I am talking about. I won't go into the other side effects. My doctor told me to get used to being a different person now and I am working on it. I loved the taste of foods but that is gone now. Hopefully not forever. I can no longer eat meat and I don't particularly like beans and many veggies either. I eat just to survive now. I am growing a garden with the veggies I do like. I sincerely hope you heal and get your life back at least close to what it was before cancer!
MG, thank you so much for what you do. This video was filled with gems, but my favorite was the South Facing Wall part. Your channel is the best one out there. Oh... and Dale is just precious.
@@emkn1479 I had to plant lettuce three times because of the occasional high ninety degree temperatures and lack of rain but things are going well now.
I've watched several "plant in October" videos. This was by far, the best. What I especially liked is the discussion of cold and warm hearty lettuces, spinach, etc. I never knew there were cold hearty and warm hearty lettuces. Maybe you could do a video on cold and warm hearty varieties of many different vegetables'. I don't think anyone else has done that.
I actually have a video on warm vs cold lettuce that I just made here: ua-cam.com/video/QQKfDPzUE5g/v-deo.htmlsi=85pWvns_rVfofnEX I grew up in NJ and PA, and now I live in southeastern NC, so I've witnessed firsthand how variety selection plays a massive role in success. It's so important. You have to customize the varieties to where you live, and you can only do that by trying a lot of them and finding what works.
@@TheMillennialGardener Thanks! I'll check out the lettuce video. I recently found out there are apparently cold and warm varieties of cauliflower. I'm in zone 10a so I can probably grow many things year around with the right warm/cold varieties. Again thanks for the great information, you provide excellent information compared to most!
We were far away from Helene. The last 2 storms (Debby and PTC8) whipped our area and flooded it pretty badly, but we usually can handle the storms here, because we are built for them. These poor mountain towns aren't, and it's going to be a year before things are back to normal. It's just awful.
@@TheMillennialGardener I was also worried about how you and those close by had come thru that weather, but then I saw that you had posted only two days ago. Glad to see you didn't get hammered. Stay safe!
This is a fantastic video. I really enjoyed growing cilantro, sage, lemon balm, basil and oregano and I sincerely just dug a quick hole, no fertilizer, no treatment, no raised beds and literally zero maintenance (... am I too comfortable exposing my laziness? eh, maybe!) and they all grew really well and I can still pull from all of them. This weekend, I'd like to actually try with a bit more dedication. I'd really like to make a long raised bed and give it another go, with garlic also this time. I get a lot of good sunlight so eventually I want to expand some more. I'm just going to go with store bought garlic from the farmers market for this time.
The storm was inland and didn’t affect the coast much where we live. The last 2 storms were very bad. 30 inches of rain, roof damage, lots of ruined plants, etc. Gotta get the roof fixed.
thanks for providing tips for container planting and thinking of us in cooler regions zone 6. Also really appreciate that you show temperatures in celsius so I'm not constantly having to convert
Your enthusiasm is contagious! Your videos often cheer me and and get me motivated to just try some things. I harvested 100+lbs of tomatoes this summer thanks to many of your tips! I have carrots and pumpkins growing, and after watching this, I'm going to attempt some onions -- because why not!!?! Thanks so much for the awesome, continued content! :-)
Hey gardening bro. I can feel your love for it. I'm a home gardener in utah. I work at red butte garden for my sins. It translates.. Thanks for all u do
I appreciate it. But, I'm just a backyard gardener. I'm an engineer that likes growing food. I like to say if I can figure it out, anyone can. It's just trial, error and passion for it.
Thanks, Dale. Following you from zone 8b, Oregon. I have been staying away from lemon/lime, thinking they can only survive a warmer climate, but your video inspired me.
You can pretty easily grow Meyer lemons and limes as long as you can keep temps above 20-24F, which is easy with my cold protection methods: ua-cam.com/play/PL1gY7BoYBGIG1w1u_K6CDIhfsqG8dMnPj.html&si=fBqz4SMVVpX0NmYs Sweet citrus is a little harder in the PNW, because they need heat to develop sugars. You may have to let the oranges hang for 1.5-2 years to get sugar development. For example, a satsuma that ripens in December for me may need to hang until June/July for you of the following season to ripen, but you can fine tune that as you gain experience.
South of Sylacauga, AL in the country-I'm growing a wide variety of cool season crops. I have ten raised beds planted with parsnips, carrots, beets, turnips, red cabbage, Dutch Cabbage, Swiss Chard, Komatsuna, Tatasoi, Yellow Heart Winter Choy, Nappa Cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli, and Pak Choi. I'm in zone 7A (not 8A on the charts) using actual recorded temperatures. It frequently gets down in to the single digits, less often down to zero, and on occasion -4F.
Wow, it's really hard for me to believe that parts of Alabama get that cold! I always say, it's not fair that we have to deal with summers *this hot* while still having winters *this cold!* If we lived in Australia, South America, Africa or Europe, we would be frost-free at this latitude 😆
Thank you for your sweet potato videos! I tried sprouting and separating slips for the first time this spring with really good success. I just dug up my first few plants and they did great. I’ll definitely be planting more next spring. I didn’t think my season was long enough here in Northern New England 🎉
Excellent! Make sure you cure them properly. If you cure them the right way, they should store until March/April, and then you can use the old, ugly sweet potatoes you don't want to eat to make slips for the next season. I have a good video on curing sweet potatoes here: ua-cam.com/video/69Nw5JbEle0/v-deo.htmlsi=usz7WUufO7cHxWqi
I like to give a lot of variety to pick and choose what you’d like. No need to grow all 35. Choose 5, and as you gain confidence, add 1-2 more every year. I don’t grow all 35, either. Closer to 25.
I exceeded all of my expectations this past garlic season, and harvested 150 garlic hats mini were very large. I had a mix of hard neck and soft neck and both did well. I do have a variety of hard neck that don’t seem to ever get larger, but then they weren’t as large when I purchased them either, I have found a grower in Arizona, which is great. They have a number of varieties. The one you mentioned is not one of them. We are in zone 9B here next-door to Phoenix. I absolutely love growing garlic.
This is a great list. I live in zone 7a in Northern Virginia so there is a whole lot that I can do right now although I am limited by a small townhouse back yard. I can vouch for the brick wall creating a mini-zone for plants. My house front faces south and there is a brick planter against the house. I've had things survive and even grow there unless there was 2 feet of snow on them or beside the sidewalk where annuals can overwinter easily if there's little or no snow and mild temperatures. I should try putting in some prettier looking veggies or herbs like the red lettuces or chard.
Thanks! I look forward to planting my autumn greens. I plant spinach, lettuces, and Swiss chard every autumn and winter. We can succession plant here because our winters are mild. I would challenge you to grow Egyptian spinach next summer. It's a great summer crop that abundantly produces, and it can take the summer heat! It has a mild taste and is in the okra family.
Saving this for next year. We aren't able to garden this Fall, and tbh I don't have experience gardening outside of the Summer season. Next year though? It's on. Another great vid!
Are you moving or in a situation where you don't have a yard to garden? If that's the case, I recommend getting yourself a bag of 20 gallon fabric grow bags, filling them with potting mix and sticking a couple in a corner of your house. You can grow lettuce, carrots, radishes, beets, herbs or something simple in there.
Sir, we're trying to put all of our funds toward renovating the interior of a new house...but you're really tempting me here. I already have an herb garden inside in the front window, and an owari satsuma planted under the front window of our house (south-facing). You can't put these idea in my head right now! Lol
Great video, thank you for your channel that I follow for a long time, very interesting, a lot of good advices. The only problem is that it's not always easy to find some variety of seeds here in Belgium. And what is important for me : I understand you very well (french is my language) because you speak clearly 😊
You are the best!! I so love your enthusiasm!! I am going to PU my plants Wednesday and I am excited….my potatoes just came up today very happy but….I think a mouse has climbed into the grow bags 😩😩I will win!! Keep up that growing happiness thank you!!
Leeks can, I believe. Provided you get them to maturity by the time it gets very cold. They can stand in seriously cold temps if you grow very hardy leeks like Oslo, Bandit, Blue Solaise, etc.
@@TheMillennialGardener Thanks for the suggestion. I will look into that and give it a try. But that might be in 2025. It may be too late for this Fall.
@@JS-jl1yjgive bunching onions and spinach a try. I’m in northern MA, so not quite as cold as you but we get down to -15F. Once we get a little snow pack to insulate them, I can go out and dig up onions basically all winter particularly if the snow stays nice and dry/fluffy versus heavy wet snow. Prior to the really cold temps they do well uncovered down to low teens here. I can’t grow spinach all winter but it can typically coast through the teens temp wise. I can only grow hardneck too because soft neck can’t survive. I grow lettuces in the shoulder seasons and had really good luck planting out 8 weeks before our last frost this spring, so I’m giving that a go for fall as well, with the understanding it can’t survive below low to mid 20s. I never cover anything because by the time we get enough snow I’d really need to intervene for some crops to survive, I’m dome going in the garden regularly and am ready for some downtime and only going out once a week or so to grab onions (and those fend for themselves as of Feb)
I’m starting my first fall/winter garden totally inspired by your videos. Its still so warm, have a ton of caterpillars left in my beds! What should I do?
Thank you for the info, i live in Eastern Europe and im going to experiment with the vegies you recomend. Exept Garlic, its allready working and you can grow him like you said even in Alaska🙂, love garlic.
I am in 9B here in Phoenix, Arizona area. We have some stuff coming up under 50% shade cloth as though it was under lights in the house we are still above 100 and actually we’ve been I think 105 and above we had one cool week it was just under 100 which was wonderful. Hopefully this really is coming to an end by, so by the end or the middle of the month, we should be able to start some of those colder weather plants you have given me a lot of ideas is funny as I have what’s called wasabi arugula, and it went to seed in June when we really started late May when we really started getting hot dropped at seeds and we’ve had volunteers since the beginning of August, maybe the late July when it was so hot here I couldn’t believe that they would live. They grew very slow. I kept them heavily misted, so the soil would stay moist and gave them a mist on their leaves to protect them for the sun. They were not shaded. They were in my backyard which is east facing which is a little better thing, but they did get direct sunlight and biggest part of the day, so I’m hoping that this will go to again and this time I will harvest the seeds. They are very spicy. I love my salads. I’m hoping that this is a tolerant variety and that it will only get stronger as our summers are getting hotter here every year usually I grow some things during the summer but this year I just was too hot to have a different kind of heat feeling maybe I’m just getting old but love your content. Thank you so much. I love this long list. It all pertains to my growing area too. I love that we can grow longer here. You have a great winter and garden seasons
Thank you got the info. Another note, since you’re on the coast side of North Carolina, I’m guessing you guys are OK from the hurricane Helene. Mr. Dale with an opossum… Lol wow that was a high jump, all right. He almost got that big rat.
Yes, Helene didn’t do much to our areas. 0.4 inches of rain and about 4 hours of 40-50mph wind gusts, but that isn’t much for our area. We get so many storms that the debris is constantly cleaned out. The last 2 storms were a lot worse, Debby and PTC8. PTC8 was awful, so much rain and wind, but we are sort of built to take it. The mountain towns need support. They are devastated and will take a year or more to recover.
Anthony, can you do a video on feeding/watering during winter months. Like should all these be on the same feeding schedule in the cooler months as they would in spring or summer?
I can try to put something together like that. I generally don’t like giving watering frequency, because it is rainfall dependent. Different locations vary widely. Even the same location can have wildly different years. You really just have to stick your finger in the soil 2 inches. If it is dry, water. If it is damp, you probably are ok.
@@frankp705 i was just thinking of this as well and wondering if i should and how i could go about watering in winter because anything left connected outside will rust and or freeze.
Devastating news for NC. Very sad. Hang in there. And now Florida once again. We just purchased a 2 acre organic farm in Eastern Tennessee. Little run down but goal is to bring it back again. I was stressing out about how overwhelming it all is. But I was SO THANK FULL I found your Channel. I have a log road ahead of me but "m very thankful to you for all the information, instructions and precise guidance you provide in a simple and precise manner. Feel not as lost. Our goal is to sell in the future in farmers markets.. Question: It is a registered organic farm, do al seeds need to be as well ORGANIC SEEDS? I have gotten my platers ready and a little late but will be seeding some of the October seed. I will keep on watching. THNAK YOU AGAIN. good luck on the homestead and my thoughts are with all the people in NC
I’ve learned so much from your videos and have became a figaholic due to them! I have a possible issue with some figs I picked up recently and wanted to know if I could send you some photos and see what you think or recommend?
Glad you got the fig bug! I usually tell people to host an image on a site like Imgur and post a link as a fresh comment. Don’t reply to an existing comment, because UA-cam doesn’t track replies well. I can only efficiently track new comments on newer videos.
I have my second round of pole beans flowering right now...Hoping to get a harvest before it gets too cold. Also have some zucchini planted in august that are doing great (but the zukes are getting taken out by caterpillars). I also have Alaska and Sugar Snap peas coming to maturity, as well as late season tomatoes. I still have eggplants and peppers ripening on plants planted in June, as well as Okra on it's second wave. It's just starting to cool down, but hopefully I have another 4-6 weeks to get some of my late late summer crops. If not, it was mainly a timing experiment. Got beets, radishes, carrots, lettuces etc going so should be good to go for fall/winter soon.
Fall peas and beans are always a race to the finish. I just pruned my zucchini hoping they'll come to life and give me something in October. The heat wiped out half my peas. I'll be lucky if I get enough to make a stir fry 😆 Spring peas do GREAT here, but fall peas are pretty pathetic. It goes from hot to cold too quickly.
I may have paid my transplants of cauliflower, broccoli and brussels sprouts out too early. It’s still in the high 90s here in North Texas.🥵 And I just sowed in ground my beets, carrots, onions and radishes
That's fine. Start another wave right now indoors. As for the transplants you already started, put shade cloth overhead. That should provide a bridge to cooler weather. The root crops should be fine.
Peas don’t like hard frosts. If you don’t get hard frosts for another 80 days, yes. If you get frost in November, you’ll need to cover them. Frost damages pea pods.
Helene was an inland storm. It did not really affect our area except for a few hours of 40-50 mph winds, which isn't much for where we live. The last 2 storms were 10X the storm Helene was. PTC 8 wrecked our area. Tons of flooding, 70mph winds and I have to get my roof fixed.
Hi, I loved this video. This gives so many choices that I didn't realize we could plant now. I'm in NWA zone 6A and probably won't have frost for several more weeks I anticipate. It's been very hot and dry this summer. I'm growing in mostly grow bags under three large hoop houses for the first time. I also have six 4x8 raised beds. The hoop houses are covered with plastic and shade cloth as well for this summer. Will the plastic be enough to protect the greens all winter or will I still need the frost cloth inside the hoop houses to protect the greens through the winter. I want to plant a lot of greens. My biggest issue and challenge this summer have been the bugs. The cabbage moths and the squash buds have been devastating greens and squash a week as cucumber beetles. I cannot seem to get rid of them and have tried many natural insecticides. I'm wondering about a separate garden cloth over my beds in the hoop houses to protect from the bugs or will they be a problem in the winter? Again, thank you so much for your extremely informative and very entertaining videos.
You're welcome! All you basically need is a drill (with bits and screws) and a fine saw for cutting the conduits. Zip ties help hold things in place, too.
@TheMillennialGardener oh it does? I saw d video before and it did have a lot of things needed to make one. I need to watch that video again, and the size of your hoops, what size of netting do u get?
I've got broccoli raab, yod fah broccoli and dill that were started from seed very recently. Leeks went out several weeks ago. It's too soon to start all the root crops (turnips, carrots, parsnips, radishes) but my hoop houses are prepped and ready to go. Hopefully by end of month, with shade cloth, it will be cool enough. Stupid Houston hot weather.
I've actually found many root crops take the heat better than most. Beets, carrots, parsnips, and chard, I think you can start now. They'll be OK, because by the time they start building sugars, it should be cool enough. Worst case, plant out a small planting now for an early crop and do your mass planting in 3-4 weeks. As long as you have the space, you have nothing to lose. In my experience here in the South, it's better to be a little early than a little late.
@@TheMillennialGardener I grow Perpetual Chard which laughs at Houston summers (the caterpillars will decimate it though) so that's bushy and we'll established. But ok I will sneak the others out into the garden soon. Thank you for this response!
I'm going to use that ... "If you don't like garlic then I don't trust you" Excellent humor! I bought 5 pounds at $12/lb last year for the first time ever -- I've only had the space for garlic recently. Purchased this acreage 5 1/2 years ago and have building gardens ever since before this I had a 50X140' town lot with the house taking most of the foot print and then 3 driveways left little space for gardens. I'm land drunk now thou and loving it. Anyways, I planted 200 garlic last year now I'll plant as many as the 5X60' space will allow. I've been watching lots of videos on spacing and depth ==> 4 inches deep and 7 inches apart but in between I'm going to plant as well. Now I need to figure out planting tool for that spacing ??? holes in plastic or plywood maybe?
I don’t grow anything requiring pollination this time of year. This zucchini is “supposed to be” parthenocarpic. I made a video on it a few weeks ago: ua-cam.com/video/m1gcMx8d_bg/v-deo.htmlsi=AiaIE4axozvYHHZb

Your enthusiasm is contagious! Your videos often cheer me and and get me motivated to just try some things. I harvested 100+lbs of tomatoes this summer thanks to many of your tips! I have carrots and pumpkins growing, and after watching this, I'm going to attempt some onions -- because why not!!?! Thanks so much for the awesome, continued content! :-)
Hey gardening bro. I can feel your love for it. I'm a home gardener in utah. I work at red butte garden for my sins. It translates.. Thanks for all u do
You’re welcome! I’m glad you find value in the videos!
You are a true agricultural expert.
I appreciate it. But, I'm just a backyard gardener. I'm an engineer that likes growing food. I like to say if I can figure it out, anyone can. It's just trial, error and passion for it.
That's funny about Dale in your plants/trees. 😀
He gets so carried away with his hunting. He just trashes stuff when he finds something furry.
That was outstanding.
Thank you!!
So glad to hear you guys are ok. Love your channel.
Thank you!
So glad that I watched this video! Thank you for the information, I’m hopeful again
You’re welcome! I am glad it was helpful.
Same
I was soo waiting for this TY!🎉
You're welcome!
Thx for the videos, your information and tips helped me choose what to grow this year.
You’re welcome!
You go Dale! Boy he can jump. Thanks for the veggies for October.
He is the only dog from the shelter that had scaled his kennel wall and escaped into another dog’s kennel 😆
This is so helpful, and explains exactly what happened to my arugula this spring. Thanks very much, especially providing the seed links.
This was great!
Thank you!
Thanks, Dale. Following you from zone 8b, Oregon. I have been staying away from lemon/lime, thinking they can only survive a warmer climate, but your video inspired me.
You can pretty easily grow Meyer lemons and limes as long as you can keep temps above 20-24F, which is easy with my cold protection methods: ua-cam.com/play/PL1gY7BoYBGIG1w1u_K6CDIhfsqG8dMnPj.html&si=fBqz4SMVVpX0NmYs
Sweet citrus is a little harder in the PNW, because they need heat to develop sugars. You may have to let the oranges hang for 1.5-2 years to get sugar development. For example, a satsuma that ripens in December for me may need to hang until June/July for you of the following season to ripen, but you can fine tune that as you gain experience.
THIS VIDEO WAS SO INFORMATIVE! I learned so much. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!
This video was so helpful thank you so much!
South of Sylacauga, AL in the country-I'm growing a wide variety of cool season crops. I have ten raised beds planted with parsnips, carrots, beets, turnips, red cabbage, Dutch Cabbage, Swiss Chard, Komatsuna, Tatasoi, Yellow Heart Winter Choy, Nappa Cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli, and Pak Choi. I'm in zone 7A (not 8A on the charts) using actual recorded temperatures. It frequently gets down in to the single digits, less often down to zero, and on occasion -4F.
Wow, it's really hard for me to believe that parts of Alabama get that cold! I always say, it's not fair that we have to deal with summers *this hot* while still having winters *this cold!* If we lived in Australia, South America, Africa or Europe, we would be frost-free at this latitude 😆
You are the best!
Thank you!
Thank you for your sweet potato videos! I tried sprouting and separating slips for the first time this spring with really good success. I just dug up my first few plants and they did great. I’ll definitely be planting more next spring. I didn’t think my season was long enough here in Northern New England 🎉
Excellent! Make sure you cure them properly. If you cure them the right way, they should store until March/April, and then you can use the old, ugly sweet potatoes you don't want to eat to make slips for the next season. I have a good video on curing sweet potatoes here: ua-cam.com/video/69Nw5JbEle0/v-deo.htmlsi=usz7WUufO7cHxWqi
super comprehensive content! very helpful, thanks 😊
You’re welcome!
Information overload! No way I could grow all these plants. But, I can grow some.
I like to give a lot of variety to pick and choose what you’d like. No need to grow all 35. Choose 5, and as you gain confidence, add 1-2 more every year. I don’t grow all 35, either. Closer to 25.
Thank you! Always great infirmation!😊
You're welcome! Thanks for watching!
Great information. Thank you
Very informative video ! I’m going to try to plant garlic and carrots
You have such a great sense of humor! 🧛♀
I try. You have to have to in the garden 😀
I exceeded all of my expectations this past garlic season, and harvested 150 garlic hats mini were very large. I had a mix of hard neck and soft neck and both did well. I do have a variety of hard neck that don’t seem to ever get larger, but then they weren’t as large when I purchased them either, I have found a grower in Arizona, which is great. They have a number of varieties. The one you mentioned is not one of them. We are in zone 9B here next-door to Phoenix. I absolutely love growing garlic.
This guy is inspiration. Love ur vid. Regards from uk.
Thank you! I appreciate it!
I found you! You have the best videos.....Miss you around here. :)
Great video! Thank you!
This is a great list. I live in zone 7a in Northern Virginia so there is a whole lot that I can do right now although I am limited by a small townhouse back yard.
I can vouch for the brick wall creating a mini-zone for plants. My house front faces south and there is a brick planter against the house. I've had things survive and even grow there unless there was 2 feet of snow on them or beside the sidewalk where annuals can overwinter easily if there's little or no snow and mild temperatures. I should try putting in some prettier looking veggies or herbs like the red lettuces or chard.
I would definitely like to try some of the the Varieties you Mentioned I well haved to try them next season my beds are full to the Brim
I love fall gardening! I'm in 7b Md
It's my favorite time!
Good video!
I hope you and your garden were safe from the hurricane Helene!😢
Here in FL, I've found wire trash cans from dollar store are great to protect baby seeds/plants from hard rain and harsh sun. :)
and animals if you anchor them
It’s going to
loves your videos. They are so informative.
Thank you! I appreciate it!
Thanks! I look forward to planting my autumn greens.
I plant spinach, lettuces, and Swiss chard every autumn and winter. We can succession plant here because our winters are mild.
I would challenge you to grow Egyptian spinach next summer. It's a great summer crop that abundantly produces, and it can take the summer heat! It has a mild taste and is in the okra family.
Saving this for next year. We aren't able to garden this Fall, and tbh I don't have experience gardening outside of the Summer season. Next year though? It's on. Another great vid!
Are you moving or in a situation where you don't have a yard to garden? If that's the case, I recommend getting yourself a bag of 20 gallon fabric grow bags, filling them with potting mix and sticking a couple in a corner of your house. You can grow lettuce, carrots, radishes, beets, herbs or something simple in there.
Sir, we're trying to put all of our funds toward renovating the interior of a new house...but you're really tempting me here. I already have an herb garden inside in the front window, and an owari satsuma planted under the front window of our house (south-facing). You can't put these idea in my head right now! Lol
Great video, thank you for your channel that I follow for a long time, very interesting, a lot of good advices. The only problem is that it's not always easy to find some variety of seeds here in Belgium. And what is important for me : I understand you very well (french is my language) because you speak clearly 😊
Awesome video!!!
Thanks!
I've just planted my garlic! In 2 beds
You are the best!! I so love your enthusiasm!! I am going to PU my plants Wednesday and I am excited….my potatoes just came up today very happy but….I think a mouse has climbed into the grow bags 😩😩I will win!! Keep up that growing happiness thank you!!
You can move the grow bag to a safe place if you get cold too quickly. For mice, I’m not sure what the solution is 😂 🐭
Thanks you really helped me 🏕🌻🌲🌹🍁
Glad to see your area is okay after the hurricane. Get that possum, Dale! (They ate all my pears off the tree.)
I hope all is well for you in North Carolina. Be safe.
We got ours planted last weekend
Great!
We can plant garlic here in Winnipeg Zone 3 in mid Oct to late Oct
Great video, thanks for sharing. Dale got too excited, he wants to get that possum.
He has been obsessed recently. We have had 6 possums so far. It is crazy. It’s like they’ve told the entire neighborhood.
That Dale, he is just doing such a good job protecting you guys from those dirty ole possums! :)
He takes his job *very* seriously.
I will be planting hard neck garlic in the middle of October. Nothing else would survive our Canadian winters.
Leeks can, I believe. Provided you get them to maturity by the time it gets very cold. They can stand in seriously cold temps if you grow very hardy leeks like Oslo, Bandit, Blue Solaise, etc.
@@TheMillennialGardener Thanks for the suggestion. I will look into that and give it a try. But that might be in 2025. It may be too late for this Fall.
@@JS-jl1yjgive bunching onions and spinach a try. I’m in northern MA, so not quite as cold as you but we get down to -15F. Once we get a little snow pack to insulate them, I can go out and dig up onions basically all winter particularly if the snow stays nice and dry/fluffy versus heavy wet snow. Prior to the really cold temps they do well uncovered down to low teens here. I can’t grow spinach all winter but it can typically coast through the teens temp wise. I can only grow hardneck too because soft neck can’t survive. I grow lettuces in the shoulder seasons and had really good luck planting out 8 weeks before our last frost this spring, so I’m giving that a go for fall as well, with the understanding it can’t survive below low to mid 20s. I never cover anything because by the time we get enough snow I’d really need to intervene for some crops to survive, I’m dome going in the garden regularly and am ready for some downtime and only going out once a week or so to grab onions (and those fend for themselves as of Feb)
I’m starting my first fall/winter garden totally inspired by your videos. Its still so warm, have a ton of caterpillars left in my beds! What should I do?
Thank you for the info, i live in Eastern Europe and im going to experiment with the vegies you recomend. Exept Garlic, its allready working and you can grow him like you said even in Alaska🙂, love garlic.
Garlic is the ultimate fall crop! I think you’ll have a lot of success with these vegetables. Most are very easy to grow.
Thankyou
I am in 9B here in Phoenix, Arizona area. We have some stuff coming up under 50% shade cloth as though it was under lights in the house we are still above 100 and actually we’ve been I think 105 and above we had one cool week it was just under 100 which was wonderful. Hopefully this really is coming to an end by, so by the end or the middle of the month, we should be able to start some of those colder weather plants you have given me a lot of ideas is funny as I have what’s called wasabi arugula, and it went to seed in June when we really started late May when we really started getting hot dropped at seeds and we’ve had volunteers since the beginning of August, maybe the late July when it was so hot here I couldn’t believe that they would live. They grew very slow. I kept them heavily misted, so the soil would stay moist and gave them a mist on their leaves to protect them for the sun. They were not shaded. They were in my backyard which is east facing which is a little better thing, but they did get direct sunlight and biggest part of the day, so I’m hoping that this will go to again and this time I will harvest the seeds. They are very spicy. I love my salads. I’m hoping that this is a tolerant variety and that it will only get stronger as our summers are getting hotter here every year usually I grow some things during the summer but this year I just was too hot to have a different kind of heat feeling maybe I’m just getting old but love your content. Thank you so much. I love this long list. It all pertains to my growing area too. I love that we can grow longer here. You have a great winter and garden seasons
Thank you got the info. Another note, since you’re on the coast side of North Carolina, I’m guessing you guys are OK from the hurricane Helene. Mr. Dale with an opossum… Lol wow that was a high jump, all right. He almost got that big rat.
Yes, Helene didn’t do much to our areas. 0.4 inches of rain and about 4 hours of 40-50mph wind gusts, but that isn’t much for our area. We get so many storms that the debris is constantly cleaned out. The last 2 storms were a lot worse, Debby and PTC8. PTC8 was awful, so much rain and wind, but we are sort of built to take it. The mountain towns need support. They are devastated and will take a year or more to recover.
Oh snap we’re neighbors
Once again awesom video. Gained lot of knowledge. May I know about the traps you are talking at the end of the video. If possible please make a video.
Anthony, can you do a video on feeding/watering during winter months. Like should all these be on the same feeding schedule in the cooler months as they would in spring or summer?
I can try to put something together like that. I generally don’t like giving watering frequency, because it is rainfall dependent. Different locations vary widely. Even the same location can have wildly different years. You really just have to stick your finger in the soil 2 inches. If it is dry, water. If it is damp, you probably are ok.
You the man. Thank you as always.
@@frankp705 i was just thinking of this as well and wondering if i should and how i could go about watering in winter because anything left connected outside will rust and or freeze.
Devastating news for NC. Very sad. Hang in there. And now Florida once again.
We just purchased a 2 acre organic farm in Eastern Tennessee. Little run down but goal is to bring it back again. I was stressing out about how overwhelming it all is. But I was SO THANK FULL I found your Channel. I have a log road ahead of me but "m very thankful to you for all the information, instructions and precise guidance you provide in a simple and precise manner. Feel not as lost. Our goal is to sell in the future in farmers markets.. Question: It is a registered organic farm, do al seeds need to be as well ORGANIC SEEDS? I have gotten my platers ready and a little late but will be seeding some of the October seed. I will keep on watching. THNAK YOU AGAIN. good luck on the homestead and my thoughts are with all the people in NC
I’ve learned so much from your videos and have became a figaholic due to them! I have a possible issue with some figs I picked up recently and wanted to know if I could send you some photos and see what you think or recommend?
Glad you got the fig bug! I usually tell people to host an image on a site like Imgur and post a link as a fresh comment. Don’t reply to an existing comment, because UA-cam doesn’t track replies well. I can only efficiently track new comments on newer videos.
Very Nice video, thanks a lot🎉
You're welcome!
Thank you
You're welcome!
I have my second round of pole beans flowering right now...Hoping to get a harvest before it gets too cold. Also have some zucchini planted in august that are doing great (but the zukes are getting taken out by caterpillars). I also have Alaska and Sugar Snap peas coming to maturity, as well as late season tomatoes. I still have eggplants and peppers ripening on plants planted in June, as well as Okra on it's second wave. It's just starting to cool down, but hopefully I have another 4-6 weeks to get some of my late late summer crops. If not, it was mainly a timing experiment. Got beets, radishes, carrots, lettuces etc going so should be good to go for fall/winter soon.
Fall peas and beans are always a race to the finish. I just pruned my zucchini hoping they'll come to life and give me something in October. The heat wiped out half my peas. I'll be lucky if I get enough to make a stir fry 😆 Spring peas do GREAT here, but fall peas are pretty pathetic. It goes from hot to cold too quickly.
I may have paid my transplants of cauliflower, broccoli and brussels sprouts out too early. It’s still in the high 90s here in North Texas.🥵
And I just sowed in ground my beets, carrots, onions and radishes
That's fine. Start another wave right now indoors. As for the transplants you already started, put shade cloth overhead. That should provide a bridge to cooler weather. The root crops should be fine.
Great suggestions. Are peas good also?
Peas don’t like hard frosts. If you don’t get hard frosts for another 80 days, yes. If you get frost in November, you’ll need to cover them. Frost damages pea pods.
Glad things are looking alright after Helene.
Helene was an inland storm. It did not really affect our area except for a few hours of 40-50 mph winds, which isn't much for where we live. The last 2 storms were 10X the storm Helene was. PTC 8 wrecked our area. Tons of flooding, 70mph winds and I have to get my roof fixed.
Glad to hear that! I know what you mean, I used to live in between two lakes in Louisiana on the coast. Enjoyed every minute of it
What do you have on the ground to cover vegetables against frost? When you were talking about leets + bunch onions.
Hi, I loved this video. This gives so many choices that I didn't realize we could plant now. I'm in NWA zone 6A and probably won't have frost for several more weeks I anticipate. It's been very hot and dry this summer.
I'm growing in mostly grow bags under three large hoop houses for the first time. I also have six 4x8 raised beds. The hoop houses are covered with plastic and shade cloth as well for this summer. Will the plastic be enough to protect the greens all winter or will I still need the frost cloth inside the hoop houses to protect the greens through the winter. I want to plant a lot of greens.
My biggest issue and challenge this summer have been the bugs. The cabbage moths and the squash buds have been devastating greens and squash a week as cucumber beetles. I cannot seem to get rid of them and have tried many natural insecticides. I'm wondering about a separate garden cloth over my beds in the hoop houses to protect from the bugs or will they be a problem in the winter?
Again, thank you so much for your extremely informative and very entertaining videos.
Are you okay?!?! I’m so happy you’re alive after Helene!
We live in the coast. Helene did not affect our area. We got badly hit by the previous 2 storms, but not by Helene.
@TheMillenialGardener im in zone 8b/9a coastal georgia, can i plant all these from seed?
Dale the possum hunter: He is such a beautiful dog :)
Dale is quite handsome.
thank u for all the tips! I hope i can make my own conduit hoops without all d equipment needed to make it. hahaha
You're welcome! All you basically need is a drill (with bits and screws) and a fine saw for cutting the conduits. Zip ties help hold things in place, too.
@TheMillennialGardener oh it does? I saw d video before and it did have a lot of things needed to make one. I need to watch that video again, and the size of your hoops, what size of netting do u get?
I've got broccoli raab, yod fah broccoli and dill that were started from seed very recently. Leeks went out several weeks ago. It's too soon to start all the root crops (turnips, carrots, parsnips, radishes) but my hoop houses are prepped and ready to go. Hopefully by end of month, with shade cloth, it will be cool enough. Stupid Houston hot weather.
I've actually found many root crops take the heat better than most. Beets, carrots, parsnips, and chard, I think you can start now. They'll be OK, because by the time they start building sugars, it should be cool enough. Worst case, plant out a small planting now for an early crop and do your mass planting in 3-4 weeks. As long as you have the space, you have nothing to lose. In my experience here in the South, it's better to be a little early than a little late.
@@TheMillennialGardener I grow Perpetual Chard which laughs at Houston summers (the caterpillars will decimate it though) so that's bushy and we'll established. But ok I will sneak the others out into the garden soon. Thank you for this response!
I'm going to use that ... "If you don't like garlic then I don't trust you" Excellent humor!
I bought 5 pounds at $12/lb last year for the first time ever -- I've only had the space for garlic recently. Purchased this acreage 5 1/2 years ago and have building gardens ever since before this I had a 50X140' town lot with the house taking most of the foot print and then 3 driveways left little space for gardens. I'm land drunk now thou and loving it. Anyways, I planted 200 garlic last year now I'll plant as many as the 5X60' space will allow. I've been watching lots of videos on spacing and depth ==> 4 inches deep and 7 inches apart but in between I'm going to plant as well. Now I need to figure out planting tool for that spacing ??? holes in plastic or plywood maybe?
The lettuce Marvel of Four Seasons is the easiest for me.
It is a good lettuce. I have to say, New Red Fire is even better, though. Give that a try. It's a beast, and I think it tastes better.
Dale is just being Dale. LOL.
Dale marches to the beat of his own drum, I'll tell you what. That dog has more personality than any human I know.
❤❤❤❤
Thanks for watching!
Can carrots be harvested in the winter or do I have to wait til spring? We live in Central Kansas
Anthony - nice video. How do you use insect netting and let in the pollinators? Hugs to Dale. Thumbs up from Iowa.
I don’t grow anything requiring pollination this time of year. This zucchini is “supposed to be” parthenocarpic. I made a video on it a few weeks ago: ua-cam.com/video/m1gcMx8d_bg/v-deo.htmlsi=AiaIE4axozvYHHZb
❤❤❤❤
Thanks for watching!
This channel is just too contagious. Thanks again for sharing so many varieties of food ro grow in our garden. You inspire me with every video. Good boy Dale, Mr opossum needs to go.
I’m so happy to hear that! I try to inspire. Dale takes his job very seriously.
