I don't have to worry about Frost until maybe November
I'm in zone 6. People are shocked you dont have to plant everything in May. Just planted a second round of snap peas and green beens last week. Peas are already flowering!
The problem I have with fall planting is all of my usual spring/summer retail seed suppliers, quit carrying seed midsummer. So everything is now mail order. Not the end of the world I guess😂
Free shipping in 3 days🤗
Plus: learn from this year, and plan earlier for next! Yey
I'm in Florida so I have to wait until September. I'll start the seeds indoor first.
I appreciate that you share your knowledge with us. Thank you.
Yep if they do grow you have to watch for the attack of aphids, besides the dry hot weather. I'm in Florida too.
@@shirleyk623 Hello fellow Floridian.
@@esthersdaughterlong8149 good after (hot)noon. Lol
Mid-October frost date: Cucumbers, okra, eggplant, summer squash, carrots, beets, radishes, parsnips, bunching onions, swiss chard, kale, [broccoli, cauliflower, brussel sprouts with caveat], calendula, sweet alyssum, nasturtium, potatoes.
Hang tight if you're first frost date is sooner... 🤔 hanging tight... 🤪 still waiting... 😵💫.
🤣🤣🤣
well, zone 8b BC Canada lower mainland. I took your advice, today I got these sowed.....Carrots, beets, radish, cucumbers...done outside. Broccoli and cauliflower inside....done. Yehhhh and thanks for this one.
I literally was waiting for this one of yours 😀
I learned so much from this, thank you!
Thank you. This is a really good video!
Thank you for your video. Much aprreciate all your knowledge abd onfo. This is going to be my first fall garden. I hope all goes well. I am in zone 6 in Pennsylvania.
I just planted cucumbers and radishes yesterday. Thanks for more ideas 🎉🎉🎉
Great video! Thanks for the timely info.
Thank you Brian. It’s been over 100-104 for several days, and the next 10 days to come, with no rain, here in Houston. I have some shade cloth which has helped but it’s really cooking everything.
Same South Mississippi…hot as 🤬
Fantastic info
Thanks Brian! Will probably redo the raised beds because my husband didn't like the way my son did it 🤣, will see if he is willing to do it on his own. My zucchini gave me a small one so far. The garden didn't do so well and I am not happy with the heat and humidity and on top of that I am hurting so the garden had to do it on it's own, my son watered and harvested. I really have to get going in the spring and need to place drip irrigation because I don't want to be outside during the summer. So depressing not to be able to garden. In Georgia we don't have much of a spring, we get nice weather in January, February and when everything is in bloom a freeze comes and kills it. We can't plant until the end of April and in May it gets so hot already is done with spring in 2 weeks if not sooner ☹️ Have a blessed day 🤗💞
MI Gardner just did a good video on planting carrots also. Thanks for the list of veggies.
good one. planted nasturtiums for the 1st time...seems to be working and pretty
Thanks for including zone 6. Most channels forget about us.
No problem 👍
Thank you for another great video!
hello from sunny Malta in the med! No frost here.....ever. At the moment its just too hot. Even with shading, seedlings get slaughtered by our annual summer cremation.
Really enjoy your videos
Thank you Brian.🌺💚🙃
Good Need to information ! Now if I can just just get the energy!😂
I'm in Sweden. Due to a couple of late hard frosts, I wasn't able to get my starts into the ground when I would have wanted to. Instead, I had to replant quite a few of my seeds/starts, as the ones I had, were leggy beyond survival. So, I've still yet to be able to harvest any of my zucchini's or any of my early beets, carrots etc. I opted not to plant that many tomato plants this year and the ones I did plant as soon as it was "safe", I had bought from the store and were tall, thick and strong. I did have tomato starts (that I've planted but, they won't have time to produce anything) but, they were still very small compared to the store bought ones, since I had to replant most of those too. Yes, I could have transplanted them into bigger pots, in wait for being able to plant them outdoors but, I really don't have that many larger pots or the space to put them indoors, since I have cats and also had a litter of kittens. All of which love to go crazy with my starts... LOL Will be buying a large glass cabinet at the second hand store, where I can "lock" my starters away and put grow lights in them for next year.
Last week I did top off all of my tomato plants, remove all the lower branches, and quite a few of the ones higher up, removed all the flowers and the tiny tomatoes that won't have a chance to ripen. Only have at most about 2 months left before it's way to cold for tomatoes to ripen.
I harvested a third of my one potato beds 5X14 ft. yesterday. That bed I made last yr. using the Ruth Stout(sp?) method. Didn't get much of a harvest last yr. but that was expected, since they don't seem to produce much the first yr. This yr. was different. Just harvesting barely one third of the bed resulted in over 40lbs. of potatoes. I was worried that most would have rotten or, been eaten by whatever lives in the dirt, due to it constantly being wet since it's covered in a thick layer of straw but, I only found 2 potatoes that had been munched on!
I did however have to dig up the whole one third of the bed I harvested from, due to me planting the seed potatoes to deep and also that when digging, I found that the soil was completely root bound and was very hard packed. Oh well... Now, it's fluffy again... LOL I will be going out to harvest another round this afternoon, if it doesn't rain. Once I've cleared out the whole bed and prepped it, I'll be planting my winter greens, starts and seeds, along with full length rows of carrots, spinach, lettuce etc. Come later this fall, I'll be planting most likely the whole bed with hard neck garlic. First time I'll be doing that so, it will be interesting to see if it works.
I will also be starting a new Ruth Stout potato bed this fall. Not planting in it until next spring. Only laying down the thick layer of cardboard along with a layer of soil on my moss and weed "lawn". (I live in semi forest conditions) Love the fact that I rarely if ever need to mow the lawn, since it is mostly soft green moss... A pain in the rear though when you try to dig and you have giant pine tree and other tree roots growing everywhere you try to dig so, the Ruth Stout method and raised beds are what works best out here.
Removed all the tomato flowers ? Why? Won't that stop them from growing fruit?? (Apologies if I'm totally wrong- that's why I'm Asking! 🤗)
Ps I hope garlic goes well for you. I also plan to do the same, and fory first time as well.
Cheers !!
I got 1 little zucchini 😢 But I got a ton of yellow squash! Last yr it was just the opposite 😂
I got two - out of two plants. They were just having a TIME this. Too hot. Not enough water. Ants eating the pollen. Squash bugs. But the biggest issue was the damn vine borers. I freakin' hate those things.
My first frost date I would guess is in Oct. Here in Western Colorado.. I've lived in CO for my entire 67 years. But most in Denver, East of the divide.
Give me all the zucchini! I love shredding and freezing for zucchini-based goodies in winter. I’m also making zucchini flour!
Shredding and freezing duh!! What a great idea thanks for posting this!!!🎉
You have a whole lot of faith in my Vermont 4b growing season 😂
Here in 5B we just had the hottest July on record, now it seems to be the wettest August on record so far. No fall crops for me as the spring and summer crops haven't really done much
So, I'm the first one to watch it and like it.
THANK YOU Brian!!! I am doing this + winter + year round potatoes thanks to you!! BTW Chef John with Food Wishes has a great recipe to use up your zucchini, he calls it green hummus.
I'm placing here my question because I can't seem to leave my own comment
Sorry. What kind of wood shavings? Like the type you use for animal bedding or is there a specific type???
Yup. That type
Good gardner.inspiration for me
Carrots... I don't have shavings, but use straw. I planted shallow rows of carrots in my raised metal bed and covered them with styrofoam strips, which I secured down with landscape staples. Worked great! I have seen others use a board across the row, just check daily for sprouting. This fall planting I plan to use narrow board strips cut to size.
Are the shavings he uses, are they a pet bedding I've seen at Walmart?
@@angelaraum1545 - yep -I caught him in a video of planting JUST CARROTS , this time of year , he said “pet shavings” work the best !
@@500sureshotWhich is better; pine or cedar?
Warm weather crops? I wish. The groundhogs got me. I had to take 8 tomato plants to work and plant them there just so they'll survive. Now that I have a greenhouse I'm starting summer crops all over in zone 6a
It rains all the time where I am but root vegetables are the hardest to grow because of the heat.
I’m with on the zucchini but not because I had so much. We get hit with vine borers. I injected bt and covered the stem with soil the best I could but it was quite disappointing. I think I wanna try some serious copper around my garden before I attempt them again just over all the moldy leaves as well.
My garden died. Burnt leaves. Extremely hot and windy in Midwest. And aged beyond normal. Just like something else I'm seeing 😂
Hi Brian! Like you, I have also lived in California in the same area my whole life. San Diego is 9B/10A. I also live in 9B/10A. In one of your videos you said that many of your perennials are now annuals. I have multiple perennials in my garden that are also annuals. I just didn't know that there was a term for it until I watched one of your videos.
I live in San Jose, which is ironically, also in the top ten most populated cities in California, let alone the U.S.!
But none of that has anything to do with why I chose you as the only gardener I now follow on youtube. I chose you to watch on a daily basis because you stood out from all the rest. You treat every aspect of gardening down to the point of alchemy! From how you stake tomatoes in the most particular way, to just about everything/anything else I see in your videos, I learn something new. You CAN teach an old dog new tricks, LOL!
I lived in San jose as a child. So over 50 years ago. The entire valley was farms and orchards. So you are in a growing mecca!!! Congratulations 🎉
@themassagedoula
Your three sentence reply speaks volumes! I can tell so much about you just by those 3 sentences. The most bizarre thing is that you could potentially be the exact same age as me.
I've lived in California my whole life. I was born in the 50s in Santa Rosa. In 1973 I moved with my family to Los Gatos in the Santa Cruz mountains. My first apartment after my high school graduation was in Campbell. Then I moved to a house in San Jose.
What I'm trying to say is that we both lived in the San Jose 1973. We were both experiencing San Jose at the same time. What are the odds of that happening?? One in a billion?
I really appreciate that ❤️
@@NextLevelGardening I only found you this year, but I've been on youtube since it's inception. All I wanted was the ❤from you acknowledging my comment. A single word from you beyond that is icing on the cake!
I’m admiring your planting beds, what type of mulch is that? I like the fact that it’s light weight.
I’m in Torrance California and everything is late growing even though I started them inside way back I have no zucchini just leaves no radishes grey and my cherry tomatoes are just turning orange
Just this last week I put in my Fall crops.
But one crop I struggle with is Beets. I can't seem to get them big.
I grow 100% organically.. water regularly and evenly... apply 4-4-4 with the seed, then a root development later (about a month later after 3-4 true leaves).
Growing zone is 6-6b... Spokane, WA.
Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
The. 8th was sneak some squash on your neighbors porch day.
I haven’t gotten my zucchini yet and I don’t like yellow squash. You didn’t mention turnips. I want to try my napa cabbage again. It went straight to seed in the spring.
This year I planted Ball's Beefsteak tomatoes (zone 3) in a container. I watered regularly, gave them sunshine all day and fertilized with a tomato and veggie fertilizer. However, they tasted strongly of the plant itself and aren't edible. What did I do wrong?
Question do you soak your corn and green bean seed?
💚🌱🌻
How did you test your mushrooms mulch for salt and why that type of mulch
Where do you get your wood shavings from? Any particular species of wood better than another? Thank you for all the good info! Watching from Zone 5b 😊
Pine. Any pet or feed store
I have used pine wood shavings with my chickens (just 4) but not on a garden. Is this what you use on all your garden?
I just got depressed. our first frost is usually btwn Sept 27 to Oct 7. 😊
Where do you get the wood shavings?? Can I use packaged animal bedding from Tractor Supply in the garden?? Please help!
Oh have you heard of the carrots San Diego seed company sells? They are encased in something so they’re easier to plant.
Several seed companies offer pelleted carrot seeds. That's what they are called. They are surrounded by organic clay.
I’m in San Antonio, TX and it’s still 103+ for the next week. No summer crops for me!😢
What mulch are ypu using? Is it a pet bedding?
My soil beds failed me this year, everything just stopped growing or never grew much at all😢
I have been watching lots of fall planting videos from all growing regions. I'm NE OK. So far, your video has been the best. There is a ton of info in a short video. I like long videos, but you managed to keep it short. Very nice!
How thick do u have the pine shavings layered
do you use pine shavings?
I have 83 days til frost
What exact brand of shavings did you use?
I planted spinach and as soon as it was about 2 inches tall, the chipmunks and squirrels ate it all. No way to keep them out here.
Is the pine shavings available for animal bedding the right stuff for the mulch too? Available at pet stores and Tractor Supply.
Never thot of getting those kind of shavings!! Thanks!
I ripped the poor cabbages out - they were being eaten to shreds. Put snap peas in and they are starting to sprout. Zone 4-5.
Where do I buy wood shavings safe for my garden?
I wish I could I could like eggplant
Have you ever breaded it and fried/sauteed it in some olive oil and butter? It can be tasty just keep it on the firmer side.
@@sophiawish9772 I just came here to commiserate with @BritInvLvr about hating eggplant, and how it is the only vegetable I'm not fond of.
But I love eggplant parmesan, and was about to say to @BritInvLvr that it is the best way to eat eggplant if you hate eggplant. You just described the first step of making eggplant parm, and you emphasized keeping it firm!
I am 66 years old now, and have hated eggplant since the first time I ate it when I was a kid! The main reason that I've hated eggplant since I was a kid is the mushy, slimy texture.
What I'm getting at, is the chances of our three comments being made at nearly the same time on youtube, (not to mention with two people I've never met in my life) are at least one in a billion!
It's time for us to all play the lotto today!
Got any tips for harvesting seed? This morning Im trying to harvest basil seed and those puppies are not forthcoming easily from the seed pods.
I did basil seed-saving a couple years ago. Make sure the pods are really dry. Ridiculously so. Then crumble the pods in your fingers over a bowl or paper bag. Then pour it all through a sieve. The pod bits will stay in and the tiny seeds will fall through. Voila!
I have had no zucchini! I wish someone would give me some. I fail every year.
Why add crab & lobster shell from harvest ?
I just want to clarify what you’re saying about zone eight and planting brassicas, flowers, etc. You’re saying to wait till the end of August to start the seeds for these plants that like it cooler?
Yes. Or indoors
@@NextLevelGardening great thank you so much I appreciate that! And I appreciate all the videos that you do because it’s very informative.
i planted carrots but ran out of seeds for anything else.
It's not fit to plant anything right now in Texas 100 plus degree days and no rain for the last 48 days and none in the forecast. Today 105, and the next 15 days are all forecast to be over 100. I'm over it. lol
110 here today in N Central Texas. We'll go down to 102 by the end of the month. That's when I plan to start some seeds for fall and winter. I've heard we are going to have extreme cold this winter so I'm not planting a lot and what I plant I want to be able to bring indoors if needed. So everything in containers,
I am in central Texas and have some starts going: cucumber, tomatoes, and brussel sprouts. Brussel sprouts grow really slowly so I started them a couple weeks ago to get them to a good size for when the weather cools down. I won't start quicker brassicas until September, though. I'm nearly to the point of transplanting in my cucumber. The tomatoes need a couple more weeks, at least.
@@loverlyredhead Everything in my garden is burning up from the hot. I normally plant a fall garden, but I'm on the fence about it this year. Supposed to be a cold winter. And the last 2 winters I've lost nearly all of my brassicas and carrots. I may just turn the goats into the garden when my okra is done.
@@BroqueCowgirlHomestead mine look fine thanks to water and shade cloth, but most everything is not producing. My Armenian cucumbers are doing great and have earned a spot in all future gardens. My okra just started blooming again after a few weeks break. Same with my squash and zucchini. I think day length made the difference. I've got my frost cloth ready to switch in as needed if the farmer's almanac prediction is right.
@@loverlyredhead I grew Armenian Cucumbers last year. They produced well. But I'm not a fan of how they taste made into pickles. love them as fresh cucumbers tho. My garden is 40x40 there is no way I could shade cloth the whole area. This is just the time of year in Texas that the gardens suffer. I try to get everything in, and done by the end of June. Then take a break during the heat, and prepare for fall gardening.
Where are you located?
N san Diego count 9b
Use cardboard for the carrots to cover them.
The main pest for us in zone 10 is garden lizards. They are cute little creatures but the love garden plants! I am working hard to keep them at bay with tiny gauge wire, and cloth netting. It's really hot here in the summers but we also have a rainy season going on, so it sorta evens out.
I'm in zone 10 like you and Brian. Just when I think there can't be anything else more specific about zone 10 I see your comment. I've seen a million lizards in my life in zone 10, but it never occcurred to me that lizards would be a nuisance in a garden. I'm in San Jose, Brian is in San Diego. There is no rainy season in California, I know this because I've lived here my whole life. Now I'm curious- where are you?
I germinate carrots in leaf mold 100 percent germination after only 5 days granted I live in southern maryland
Carrots didn't work for me either.
My garden got an inch of rain and marble sized hail in 10 minutes....poof

Frost? What is this mythical event you speak of?
You MUST be in at least 9B or 10A. Off the top of my head the only state that could be 10B would be Hawaii! My hibiscus was the only thing that didn't survive the "frost" in 10A
@@akajulz 10a, San Fernando Valley!
@@borracho-joe7255 You're in California just like Brian and me! You can tell a lot by a person just by knowing their growing zone. LOL!
You would not believe how many times I've made the joke- Rain? I'm not familiar with it? What is this water falling from the sky right now?
It's a California thing that only we get!
That was a yellow zucchini you had there not a yellow squash
Frost?….did you frost your hair?? ….holy crap
