This video is a good reminder for me to get some lettuce growing inside ASAP. It will be 80’s for the next week and a half, but the temps will quickly dip after that making starting indoors that much more valuable 👊🏻🌻👊🏻
Great to hear from a fellow Ohioan, Julia! I'm also very happy to hear you've decided to start gardening- that's very exciting-- I hope you can find some useful tips here. Take care & have a great weekend!
Great video, Jenna. First time for me to do a fall Garden, the information in this video is so helpful. I live in zone 6 Ohio, too. You're my main source of information. I also appreciate how your videos are direct and to the point. You rate A+++, thank you so much.
Thank you so much, Roberta. I'm glad the information is helpful and I'm so happy to hear you're doing a fall garden this year! Take care & happy gardening!
Thanks for explaining whether to direct sow or to plant seedlings for the fall garden… The other videos I watched didn’t really say…I’m in 5b-6a, so your videos will be pertinent to my gardening… Subscribed and thank you!
I am only coming across this series now in Dec 2022 but it's a great help in planning for the coming year. I am in Zone 6b New York, so slightly earlier spring, but easy to make some slight adjustments to the schedule. Spent my early childhood and college years in Ohio, plus family was in several parts of the state so I am somewhat familiar with conditions there. My mother had a lovely vegetable garden in Worthington. Thanks again for such a great series.
Well Hello! I didn't know I could plant anything this time of the year. thought spring time was all there was. well now I get to be overwhelmed in spring and late summer. lol
I'm learning and just planted green beans bush types, Pole beans couple weeks and they started blooming also beets and planning more carrots. Of 5 other tomato for this season my Midnight Snack just ripped about July 6 and we both agreed they are coming back next year and best tomato of others Sun Sugar ,Gold Nuggets, Isis ,Sweet 1,000,000 ,and early doll. " Yeah your Midnight Snacks are best yet here!
Thank you Mrs. Jenna. Not gonna be any good weeks to come for awhile now for me. The cancer is back in full force this time. Fixing to go through a lot of treatment. Just wanted to give you a heads up in case you don't see me around. Stay safe my friend!
@@CBsGreenhouseandGarden no!!!! Oh CB, I'm so, so sorry to hear this. I appreciate you letting me know and my thoughts will be with you. Cancer sucks... it just sucks.
Your video was very important to me .. Your video is very clear .. I watched this many times to grow the way you planted it. Thank you very much for your video.best video
Oh, you just had to remind me, right? Ha ha ha. Thinking of just doing collards for fall eating and alliums for next year. I suppose I can direct sow the collards. But surely wouldn't hurt to start them now. We do have June mater starts for a second sowing. Plus some second sowing cukes. And probably some potatoes. Have a super week Jenna! ✌️
Haha- of course... as if you don't have enough to do already 😆. I wanted to do a second sowing of tomatoes this year and completely forgot to sow them. But I do have my second sowing of cukes in. You definitely could direct sow the collards- I just start them indoors since I'm doing so many other greens anyways. Hope you have a super week too!
I just stumbled upon your channel and so glad I did. I’m also a zone 6a in Pennsylvania and frost dates similar to yours. You channel will be very helpful!
Look at all the different colors of Cauliflower and carrots there is, I was unaware of those. The Cauliflower looked like you just picked a bouchée of Hydrangeas 😉😁
Hello Jenna, after watching your garlic harvest I could not help to notice how large, how many canned foods and wonder to myself how can this woman do all this. Anyway are you offering any videos on how to freeze or store all the food a garden produces. My wife is very busy with one of our children and the responsibility of freezing, storing and preserving these foods on me. Another learning experience. Thank you!
I wonder that sometimes too 😆! I have just a few videos on preserving the harvest (check out this playlist; ua-cam.com/play/PL4zzslvkscX3INSYuONHc7hJiOypvUwXf.html) and someday would like to add more, as I've had multiple folks ask for this type of information. I just need a few more hours in the day!
I'm behind on your videos, but the air pruning pots was great info. I have pots that I use that aren't normal garden pot. I use what ever I find. One could convert a normal garden pot or the pots that I use ( which aren't really pots) into an air pruning pot. I will be doing that the next time I re-pot a plant. It should work. Take care!
Yes- you could absolutely convert a 'normal' pot into an air pruning pot. John Jude mentioned using a soldering gun to burn holes in his solo cup planters. You take care as well!
Wonderful advice! Very well done video, love the cut scenes to you working while you explain. It’s always hard to start planning for fall right when the summer crops start producing! We likely will not get a fall garden in this year as we are moving but we will definitely be busy trying to get the infrastructure for the new garden ready for next year!
Thank you! Good luck with the move- can't wait to see the new garden space (though it's hard to leave a garden behind). You are right- it is hard to start planning for fall right now. It took me a long time to get my schedule right- at one point I just had to resort to marking it on the calendar so I wouldn't forget!! Thanks for watching & have a great rest of the week!
I live in Girard, Ohio pretty close to youngstown. We have had so much rain that most of my garden is suffering. My zucchini, peppers and cucumbers are just not growing right. The only thing that seems to be growing are my tomatoes and green beans.
Wonderful video! My summer garden is looking great, but I’ve been in a seed shopping spree again for fall crops! The store picking are pretty thin, and the cashiers look at me like I’m crazy, “Don’t you know it’s too late to start from seed?” they say…. I then have to explain it’s all about a great fall crop now! (Also, my seeds I bought this spring got soaked in a rain storm this spring germinated and/or got moldy…. The whole box of seeds…. so replacement is a must. 🥺)
Haha- I know that exact look from cashiers 😆, glad you're explaining it to them! It's definitely slim pickings in the stores. Sorry to hear about your spring seeds- that's a big disappointment. I hope you're able to find the seeds you need for fall! Not sure if you're much for buying online, but Johnny's & Territorial Seeds both have great selections for fall planting and relatively quick shipping!
@@GrowfullywithJenna Thanks! I love shopping online. The selection is almost always much, much better, as far as variety. I will check those places out! Thanks again! 😁
Whoops, my indoor starting fall crops got totally missed 😂 watching diligently for what you plant in the month of august direct sown portion 😂 can you please include anything you can/will put a cover on to extend the season? Very very interested in what handles that and what doesn’t
It’s so easy to miss! For many years I had to set myself a reminder so I wouldn’t forget! I’m running a little behind, but am hoping to have the august planting video out next week (I should’ve had it out at the beginning of the month, but sometimes life gets in the way😆). And yes I will absolutely include cover crops, there’s been a few months where I forgotten to include them, but August is definitely important month for those.
Zone 6 Columbus Ohio, Planning on next season melon patch . Question ❓ Should I now cover with plastic for weed control, Question ❓ I've also have a broadfork should I broad fork before the covering of plastic for weed control. Thanks, know you are going to be teaching cover crops I'm trying to get prepare for the cover crops
Hi John- if you are putting the plastic down now and won't be taking it off again prior to planting, I'd broadfork now (as well as mixing in any amendments). However, I'd be tempted to put the plastic down now to solarize the weeds, then take it up in the spring & broadfork at that point- . Then put the plastic back down and plant melons. It's a bit more work, but clay soil can become quite compacted through the late winter/early spring rains and this will help loosen it up prior to planting.
Hi I do wish everyyone on a website and you tube would as you do announce the zone and general location as you do also , I'm also gardening in the clay base Columbus Ohio soil and I did garden in Iowa the land of deep fertility loamy black soil 12 plus inch deep.Lady ,I have driven past road construction in Iowa and just driull looking at the dark black soil in the ditchs I would love to garden in. Thanks
I try to remember to do that- it's definitely helpful for folks to know! Oh, how I wish I could load up a whole giant scoop of that soil and dump it on my garden. It would be amazing to have soil like that! The sad thing is, much of my area used to have soil like that before some faulty 'modern' farming practices were implemented and used for a century. Just doing my best to rebuild the soil at this point! Take care, John!
Great video. You not only expound well but you show a lot of clips of each plant interspersed throughout the video.... When you are in the garden explaining July and August sowing, what is that tall leafy plant behind you, just to your left or what would be my right. ??? Thank you.
Thanks! Do you mean at around 2:59, big green leaves with pale greenish white stems? That's One color from my Rainbow Lights Swiss Chard (the stems also come in red, yellow and pink).
Thank you! You might want to check out this video: ua-cam.com/video/Jos0dKeWZOg/v-deo.html where I shaer the light setups I am using for seed starting.
Yes you can! Depending on where your greenhouse is located (particularly if it's in full sun), you might consider a shade cloth over the roof to cut down on some of the heat/light intensity.
This is helpful!! I thought I would have more room to plant but I’d like to get the seeds of somethings and they are all still flowering (cilantro is just now forming some seeds) but the lettuce, spinach and peas from the spring are all still flowering but taking up space 😆 I left two radishes to go to seed but I think I pulled them out too soon the seeds aren’t hard 😩
I love your videos. I'm in zone 5b, Northwest Pennsylvania. So you inspire me to grow more. I'd love to have a garden like you some day. I currently have a small (I guess you could call it a kitchen garden) garden right next to my house and then out back we have a bigger garden that is struggling this year. I need to get in there with a cultivator or have my hubby run the little tiller. Thanks again!
Thank you so much, Cristy! I started out very small too- for years all I kept were tiny plots. I'm sure that over time you will achieve your dream garden!
Is July the best time to grow brassicas? I’ve been having a hard time growing brassicas in May. They tend to get little pests eating away at the leaves.
Awesome video Jenna. Interested that you grow Kale in both spring and fall. My kale usually lasts all season so I haven't considered planting more for fall. Do fall planted Kale stick through early winter better than spring planted?
Thank you! I do find that my fall planted kale overwinters better and doesn't bolt as quickly in the spring. But the main reason is often location. I typically end up wanting my fall stuff in a different location than my spring, so I end up tearing out the spring kale and feeding it to the chickens. But you are right- spring planted will last all season! Thanks for asking!
Unfortunately, that is definitely an issue with corn. Sometimes it will right itself after being knocked over by summer storms, but times when the ground is already very saturated, I've seen it become entirely uprooted.
I planted in 4 inch pots this week and left outside thinking less house flies, plus starts can stay in pots longer while current garden plants might not be done. I showed garlic in October last year from grocery store garlic and it was wonderful. Is there a reason to buy more expensive seed garlic?
The only reason I can think of is if you want to know exactly what you're planting . If that's not important to you , and honestly I grew some from the grocery store too and they were fantastic ! I don't think it matters at all . Good luck !
@Charlie Hoos Don't Tread on the Truth is right- you don't always know what variety you're growing when you get it from the grocery store, but you can absolutely have great results from store bought garlic (as you've experienced). A couple things to keep in mind- garlic at the grocery is sometimes treated with sprout inhibitor (good for storage, bad for growing). I'd advise buying organic (or better yet, buy from a local grower at a Farmer's Market) to avoid this. Also, something like 98% of what's available at groceries is California White Softneck garlic. As you might guess, this variety is well suited for growing in warmer climates- not the best choice for cold climates. It does OK for me here, but there are varieties that are much better suited to my climate. But if you had great results, I'd say just keep doing what you're doing!!
can I just say I hate that this was posted 7 hours ago and I just now got the notification? What is the point in them if they dont tell me until so much after someone posts a video, especially when they are live.. I never catch lives. (not that this one is) just frustrating though when Im boredly looking for something interesting to watch.
I agree! What's the point of signing up for notifications if UA-cam doesn't actually send you notifications?! There's been some weird, glitchy stuff going on lately. I hope UA-cam gets it straightened out soon. Sorry for your frustration!
Hi Jenna, I started some broccoli and cauliflower this spring and I spaced out the sowing by 1 week intervals. But, no one else seems to do this, so now I'm questioning whether this was necessary. Do you ever have an issue with all your brassicas maturing at the same time or do they naturally kind of stagger themselves?
Hi Rebekka- it depends a bit on the specific variety and on the weather, but they often mature pretty close to the same time. I can't do much staggering with broccoli and cauliflower because my spring season is so short and unpredictable- though cabbage works well for me because it tends to be a bit more heat tolerant. In general, I think staggered plantings for extended harvests are always a good idea!
Thankfully I don't have much a problem with leaf miners. But one of the easiest ways to protect against them is to rotate your plantings and cover with insect netting as soon as seedlings emerge or transplants are set out.
@@GrowfullywithJenna thank you! You are very lucky. Protection works, but rotation doesn’t as they cover a very large area when established including ornamental plants.
@@rostamkocholo that does make it tricky! As far as rotation, I just meant that if you use insect netting, you just want to make sure you plant them in a different spot. Otherwise, they will likely already be in the soil and the netting will do no good. Also, neem oil and spinosad are recommended organic spray options for leaf miner.
I don't have good luck trying to sow it at this time of year. In general, spinach is easy to grow, but incredibly picky about heat. I generally won't even attempt it till September. If you do want to give it a try- keep that soil consistently cool & moist and I highly recommend shade cloth or growing in partial shade.
Honestly, most of my supplies are hand-me-downs! But the 50 cell trays originally came from here: www.growerssolution.com/PROD/50-round-cell-propagation-tray-case/59-5005 But, most folks don't need 100 trays! I did find that Johnny's has a 5 count of 50 cell trays www.johnnyseeds.com/tools-supplies/seed-starting-supplies/trays-domes-and-flats/cell-flats/50-cell-plug-flats-5-count-9498.html
Possibly- if you're growing amaranth for greens, definitely. Shorter season varieties will work for flowers. You will probably not be able to get grain this late in the season though.
Hi Tyler. My 'real' job is managing seed trials, so a lot of the seeds I grow are sent to me for trialing from various seed companies/breeders. But, when I do purchase my own seed, I have a few favorite online sources including: Gurney's Seed, Johnny's Seed, Territorial, Adaptive Seed, Southern Exposure Seed Exchange and Seed Savers Exchange.

Yes you can! Depending on where your greenhouse is located (particularly if it's in full sun), you might consider a shade cloth over the roof to cut down on some of the heat/light intensity.
@@GrowfullywithJenna thank you.
This is helpful!! I thought I would have more room to plant but I’d like to get the seeds of somethings and they are all still flowering (cilantro is just now forming some seeds) but the lettuce, spinach and peas from the spring are all still flowering but taking up space 😆 I left two radishes to go to seed but I think I pulled them out too soon the seeds aren’t hard 😩
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you
You're welcome
Great video!
Thank you!
This is soooo helpful!!!
I'm glad you found it helpful, Charles! Take care!
I love your videos. I'm in zone 5b, Northwest Pennsylvania. So you inspire me to grow more. I'd love to have a garden like you some day. I currently have a small (I guess you could call it a kitchen garden) garden right next to my house and then out back we have a bigger garden that is struggling this year. I need to get in there with a cultivator or have my hubby run the little tiller. Thanks again!
Thank you so much, Cristy! I started out very small too- for years all I kept were tiny plots. I'm sure that over time you will achieve your dream garden!
Great info, thanks.
Glad it was helpful!
Is July the best time to grow brassicas? I’ve been having a hard time growing brassicas in May. They tend to get little pests eating away at the leaves.
Excellent!
Many thanks!
Awesome video Jenna. Interested that you grow Kale in both spring and fall. My kale usually lasts all season so I haven't considered planting more for fall. Do fall planted Kale stick through early winter better than spring planted?
Thank you! I do find that my fall planted kale overwinters better and doesn't bolt as quickly in the spring. But the main reason is often location. I typically end up wanting my fall stuff in a different location than my spring, so I end up tearing out the spring kale and feeding it to the chickens. But you are right- spring planted will last all season! Thanks for asking!
I need to get re started!
Do you think you'll put in a fall garden?
@@GrowfullywithJenna
I sure hope so. It seems I am catching a cold. I haven't had one in years. Hopefully passes soon.
Have a great day!!
@@mister-action1 feel better soon! You could try our family's age-old cure. Eat a couple of bulbs of raw garlic!
@@GrowfullywithJenna
I think I'll be ok. 🙄

Huge storms may affect standing crops corn 🌽
Unfortunately, that is definitely an issue with corn. Sometimes it will right itself after being knocked over by summer storms, but times when the ground is already very saturated, I've seen it become entirely uprooted.
Your enunciation, diction, and precise grammar reveal a substantial education. English major?
Thank you, Raul. I do have a BA in liberal arts, but I'm not an English major.
What is the benefit of starting the cabbages, etc. indoors vs. direct sowing them?
I planted in 4 inch pots this week and left outside thinking less house flies, plus starts can stay in pots longer while current garden plants might not be done. I showed garlic in October last year from grocery store garlic and it was wonderful. Is there a reason to buy more expensive seed garlic?
The only reason I can think of is if you want to know exactly what you're planting . If that's not important to you , and honestly I grew some from the grocery store too and they were fantastic ! I don't think it matters at all . Good luck !
@Charlie Hoos Don't Tread on the Truth is right- you don't always know what variety you're growing when you get it from the grocery store, but you can absolutely have great results from store bought garlic (as you've experienced). A couple things to keep in mind- garlic at the grocery is sometimes treated with sprout inhibitor (good for storage, bad for growing). I'd advise buying organic (or better yet, buy from a local grower at a Farmer's Market) to avoid this. Also, something like 98% of what's available at groceries is California White Softneck garlic. As you might guess, this variety is well suited for growing in warmer climates- not the best choice for cold climates. It does OK for me here, but there are varieties that are much better suited to my climate. But if you had great results, I'd say just keep doing what you're doing!!
can I just say I hate that this was posted 7 hours ago and I just now got the notification? What is the point in them if they dont tell me until so much after someone posts a video, especially when they are live.. I never catch lives. (not that this one is) just frustrating though when Im boredly looking for something interesting to watch.
I agree! What's the point of signing up for notifications if UA-cam doesn't actually send you notifications?! There's been some weird, glitchy stuff going on lately. I hope UA-cam gets it straightened out soon. Sorry for your frustration!
Do you get notifications?
You may want to check your settings and make a special sound if you can on your phone?
Just an idea.
Hi Jenna, I started some broccoli and cauliflower this spring and I spaced out the sowing by 1 week intervals. But, no one else seems to do this, so now I'm questioning whether this was necessary. Do you ever have an issue with all your brassicas maturing at the same time or do they naturally kind of stagger themselves?
Hi Rebekka- it depends a bit on the specific variety and on the weather, but they often mature pretty close to the same time. I can't do much staggering with broccoli and cauliflower because my spring season is so short and unpredictable- though cabbage works well for me because it tends to be a bit more heat tolerant. In general, I think staggered plantings for extended harvests are always a good idea!
This list could be for northeast PA.
Yes I imagine it could be! We have very similar growing schedules!
@@GrowfullywithJenna Thank you beautiful.
@@sweetmary9326 you are most welcome!
Do you have leaf miners in your area? I saw that huge Swiss chard behind you looking good and wanted to ask how do you protect it from leaf miners?
Thankfully I don't have much a problem with leaf miners. But one of the easiest ways to protect against them is to rotate your plantings and cover with insect netting as soon as seedlings emerge or transplants are set out.
@@GrowfullywithJenna thank you! You are very lucky.
Protection works, but rotation doesn’t as they cover a very large area when established including ornamental plants.
@@rostamkocholo that does make it tricky! As far as rotation, I just meant that if you use insect netting, you just want to make sure you plant them in a different spot. Otherwise, they will likely already be in the soil and the netting will do no good. Also, neem oil and spinosad are recommended organic spray options for leaf miner.

When you start those inside do they stay in those small cells until transplant? Or do you have to up pot them be fore that?
I leave them in the small cells till transplant time. Typically the only veggies I ever pot up are tomatoes, peppers and eggplant.
@@GrowfullywithJenna ok that’s helpful! I’m going to start some today!!
@@christiethomas6905 Happy planting!
Great video....but your arms are goals 😍😍😍😍
Been redoing my chicken coop lately
That's a project I need to tackle as well!
@@GrowfullywithJenna 👍
Jenna, is it too early for direct sowing spinach?
I don't have good luck trying to sow it at this time of year. In general, spinach is easy to grow, but incredibly picky about heat. I generally won't even attempt it till September. If you do want to give it a try- keep that soil consistently cool & moist and I highly recommend shade cloth or growing in partial shade.
Why would I use grow lights indoors wasting electricity when I have a bright sun outdoors for free?
Good god that chard is huge
Yes, chard is really happy here for some reason!
Where on earth did you find 50-cell trays??? I've been looking but cannot find them anywhere it's just the 72-cell packs which are way too small!
Honestly, most of my supplies are hand-me-downs! But the 50 cell trays originally came from here: www.growerssolution.com/PROD/50-round-cell-propagation-tray-case/59-5005 But, most folks don't need 100 trays! I did find that Johnny's has a 5 count of 50 cell trays www.johnnyseeds.com/tools-supplies/seed-starting-supplies/trays-domes-and-flats/cell-flats/50-cell-plug-flats-5-count-9498.html
@@GrowfullywithJenna Thank you so much!!!!
when is your first frost date in the fall? thank you
Approx Oct 15th.
Do you think amaranth would still be doable I'm in NE Missouri.
Possibly- if you're growing amaranth for greens, definitely. Shorter season varieties will work for flowers. You will probably not be able to get grain this late in the season though.
@@GrowfullywithJenna ty and darn I ran out of space and didn't start any this year I was after the grain
It’s never too early to start planning for next year 😁
where do you buy your seeds?
Hi Tyler. My 'real' job is managing seed trials, so a lot of the seeds I grow are sent to me for trialing from various seed companies/breeders. But, when I do purchase my own seed, I have a few favorite online sources including: Gurney's Seed, Johnny's Seed, Territorial, Adaptive Seed, Southern Exposure Seed Exchange and Seed Savers Exchange.
@@GrowfullywithJenna Great thanks. Southern Exposure is one of my favorite. Thanks for the other recommendations
@@Jwayne1020 you're welcome!
