    Thanks for so much great information. I’m still a novice (almost retired teacher) who only started gardening during the pandemic and now I’m hooked! I hope I’m more successful this season!
    What about carrots? When should they be planted in zone 7 (west Tennessee).
    Thanks

    Been waiting on this...
    What always trips me up is when to start.seeds to set out...never ever get it right and end up having to use trandplants..

    • @StoneyAcresGardening
      @StoneyAcresGardening  4 роки тому +3

      Here's the rule I use, most seedlings take about 6 weeks to be ready for setting out. Choose the day you want to plant them out and count back 6 weeks. Then add an extra week for hardening off and you are good to go! So count back a total of 7 weeks.

    Great vid! Very helpful for me in eastern NC. Thanks for sharing. Thoughts on sowing arugula now? Be well.

      A few seeds is all you will risk so give it a try. Most likely it will be very strong tasting and bolt quickly because of the summer heat. But see what happens???? Maybe try planting it in a shady spot.

      I don't have a lot on my UA-cam channel, but I do cover small space gardening in The Gardening Academy.

      @@StoneyAcresGardening Ok. Thanks. That’s what I needed to know. I have some space in the yard but not a lot so was thinking of going to tower system.
      I look into academy. Thanks.

    im in zone 8b, and its actually been pretty dang warm up here (seattle), so i bunged i my tomatoes and peppers last month. but im excited for it to warm up and for them to really get going.
    about lettuces though, should i just harvest and flip over the space for more summer plants? i have bibb, R&G leaf, and even iceberg.
    thanks so much. i like your presentation.

    • @StoneyAcresGardening
      @StoneyAcresGardening  4 роки тому +1

      Yes if it is getting warmer than around 80 or so then I would harvest them and move to some summer crops.

    So is this for putting seeds directly in the ground or bringing out transplants? I am just getting started with my garden. Im doing a raised bed in zone 8a and idk if I need to buy plants already established or seeds?

    • @StoneyAcresGardening
      @StoneyAcresGardening  4 роки тому +1

      I would do tomatoes and peppers from transplants. Everything else on the list can be started by seed.

    North Africa is 7 and 8?

    • @StoneyAcresGardening
      @StoneyAcresGardening  4 роки тому

      The Zones I'm referring to are a North American thing, I'm not sure what the equivalent would be in North Africa. But based on what I know about North Africa I would say you are at least a Zone 8 maybe even Zone 9 or 10. Sorry I don't know how to convert them for you region.

    Planting ...from seeds? Or starts?

    • @StoneyAcresGardening
      @StoneyAcresGardening  4 роки тому +1

      Totally depends on the plant. Tomatoes, peppers and most of the broccoli family I always plant from starts. The rest can go in by seeds.
