Being in Ohio myself I planted sweet cherry 100 tomato’s, early girl hybrid tomato’s, jalapeños, bell peppers, banana peppers, cucumbers, squash, strawberries all those transplanted the first day of June along with direct sowing cantaloupe, and green beans!
I have 40° C sometimes in the summer, and 30°+ is very common now. There are plenty of lettuces that grow in this climate, you need to look towards Spanish, Italian and Southern French varieties. One that's very heat resistant, is Batavia Maravilla De Verano, it will not bolt even in full sun in summer. On the French side, you have ‘Rougette de Montpellier', 'Grosse Blonde Paresseuse', ‘Chicon des Charentes’. I usually plant them between tomato plants, but seriously, they will even work in full sun. And of course you also have chicories for the summer, like Sucrine, Frisée Pancalière etc... Those are sown in June usually, and harvested in late Summer. The advantage of planting them between tomatoes is that they will not only benefit from the shade, but also from the water you give your tomatoes. I almost never do rows of lettuces.
This is awesome!! Thank you so much for these variety suggestions... I can't wait to track down these varieties. Love the idea of growing them in between the tomatoes too. Thank you, Nicolas!
I wish I could plant potatoes, cabbage, beets & broccoli in June. They don't do well here in the heat. I'll be waiting a bit for those. Happy planting!
I'm in zone 9B, but we're still hovering in the 60s right now, and I've had to give up on starting my cucs and squashes outside. I broke out my heat mat. In May/June! This is craziness, haha! I love your videos. Knowing I have a much later frost date than you do, and seeing that you would just now be planting and sowing the seeds I'm starting right now on my heat mat gives me hope of a sucessful warm-weather season despite this weird weather!
@@GrowfullywithJenna This is definitely not typical! It's been raining today! Not hard, but definitely enough to get soaked into the ground, which is wonderful. Can't complain though, as it's a nice change from the many many years of drought. Hopefully we'll end up balancing out this cold first half of the year with longer summer, with warmth going into October.
Another Great video; Well this was the year that I decided to go all in on building beds in our garden and what a project that was. Also to aggravate the project we have had one of the wettest and coolest springs in history. The farmers around us are even getting some fields planted. Anyway around the first of June we started direct seeding our garden. We planted peas, pole beans and bush beans, radishes, dill, spinach, onions and carrots. We also planted out our tomatoes plants and put in some raspberries and blackberries. Then the rains came again and soak everything to the core. then we had a trip planned and left for the 7th and came back on the 11th because we got tired of camping in the rain! So we just finished planting yesterday. We were finally able to start planting again on the 15th and planted WW sweet onion sets, replanted all our beans and peas (I think it was just too wet and cold for direct planting) ground was too cold. I am still tilling the corn and potato areas and they are still really to wet to till but we got them in the ground yesterday finally. We also direct planting several types of squash and watermelon yesterday. It is kind of do or die time here in North Central Idaho zone 6b. I am starting a modified no-till garden using my own compost and worm casting so its an adventure in change for us after 50 years or row gardening. Thanks for all your videos I look forward to watching them all the time!
Wow! You did go all in this year- that's fantastic! I hope everything does well for you this summer-- I agree that this spring was certainly a challenge. Best wishes for a fantastic harvest this year!
I live in Southern Ontario, I think we're about zone 6a-6b. I planted some radishes on June 1st that I'm harvesting now. The Garden Giant radishes just went to seed and got pithy with minimal root development, but the French Breakfast radishes are just as good as they were a month ago, maybe even better (our first crop of radishes wasn't as good because late April/early May was quite cool so they took longer than ideal to mature).
I am in Zone 6a in Toledo, Ohio and I plant my second crop of tomato, pepper, eggplant and zucchini around june 15 so I don't have it all mature at once with the same crops I planted in May. It gives me a longer harvest. I also planted my beans at the start of June.
How did I miss this vid? I was just wondering what to plant this month - perfect timing. I like your format here: Quick, direct, and specific. Love the background garden view. Bee oo tee ful.
🌼🌻🐝☀️🌺👨🌾 I love your garden!! Such a great inspiration to me as I am just also a gardener and UA-cam creator. You put a lot of work and love into growing your garden! All the hard work is worth it to me to get to see the new growth everyday it brings me so much joy! I still have so much to learn and I appreciate your tips, tricks! Please Keep sharing! I would love to learn more about gardening from each other.
I like how you do the monthly videos and post the varieties of the things you plant. I like knowing where they come from, some companies are better at some types of seed.
Hi Tammy- you might check out my year end review of favorite varieties from the garden: ua-cam.com/play/PL4zzslvkscX0Bi-8H5UrbvSwLVgK8h7CN.html as I give sources for everything in these videos.
Im having to baby my younglings, it's 99° F today. It's supposed to be 100° all week plus drought and giant timber/desert mosquito's makes it a labor of love for sure. You are knowledgeable and organized in your garden ✌😏👍
Little by little our tomatoes and pepper seedlings are going into the ground now in 6b. We waited until we nighttime temps were above 50. Not sure if that is right or not. We started seeds at different times so some sit on the porch to grow and harden off. Hoping for a good harvest and the same for all gardeners out there!
Glad to see you grow your own popcorn. Most people do not know that fresh home-grown popcorn is more tender than the year-old stuff you buy in the store.
Yes! I love growing popcorn, I try to grow a new variety each year. This year it’s Shamans Blue. Last year it was Dynamite, which did really well for me. Do you have a favorite variety?
As another commenter said, so good to see that sub count climbing. Way to stick with it. Living dangerously with those castor beans, very cool looking plant. Here in 4a I just keep shoving stuff in the ground. I do a lot of succession planting too. So dry here, been a bit tough, but I'm a glutton for punishment. Wrong year to expand the garden and add another orchard. I must have about 14000 sq ft of garden to keep watered. My poor well is working over time. Working sun up to sundown. Your garden is looking great. Good work. Take care.
Thank you- and I appreciate your support! I hope rain comes your way soon-- that makes such a big difference in the garden...and, I don't know about you, but the watering is one of my least favorite gardening tasks! Fingers crossed for rain & best wishes!
I just got my tomatoes and peppers trans planted out. Cause it was soon dry here and we just got some rain too boost the change over I put grass clippings around all my plants too keep the moisture in. And once a week I water with comfrey tea. And transplanted pumpkin and cucumbers a week ago. And pole beans a few weeks before. It's was hard this year we had a frost in May. Witch we haven't had before. I've learn too start sew in garden with clear gallon jugs over like a mini green house but with the kids on till no chance of frost then lids come off till night time and go back on.
I just dug my Purple Majesty potatoes and freed up some space in my garden. I had just received some Wild Violet sweet corn seeds after seeing them in one of your other videos, but I was thinking it was too late for this year. I'm in 6B.
Hi Benjamin- Wild Violet will have plenty of time to mature before your first frost. The only trick with late planting corn is that you often have to water it more than early planted corn. I've found this to be the case in my own garden. Because our rainfall drastically tapers off after mid-June, I am out there with a sprinkler a LOT more (drip irrigation would be ideal, but I haven't set mine up yet). Hope this helps!
Great Video...Thank you for taking the time to do it! I re-seeded a bunch of Albion Parsnips yesterday. Transplanted a bunch of my collards. Basil, a few pepper plants and some onions all in the last few days. Have started harvesting Warba potatoes that I planted I mid March....will use the space I freed up to plant wax beans and bush beans. Nice looking garden young lady! Have a great day. Mike 🇨🇦🍁
Excellent- sounds like you've got quite garden going on there, Michael! I'm a bit jealous you're harvesting potatoes... hoping mine come on soon. I've not heard of the 'Warba' variety, I may have to check that out. Thanks for sharing!
@@GrowfullywithJenna Hi Jenna...been gardening here for a number of years! Went completely no till in 2018. The Warba's are really popular on the West Coast of Canada. A really early variety and they are amazing....with Garlic Scape Butter! 😋 Have a great day! Mike 🇨🇦🍁
@@GrowfullywithJenna OH yea...you just take a nice lump of butter, cut your scapes into nice small pieces and saute them and pour them over the new potatoes!!! Decadent, delicious and probably not healthy but are they ever worth it!!! I also do this with green garlic...when I cannot stand looking at my garlic I will pull a plant and use the garlic green. Super nice flavour! Enjoy! Mike 🇨🇦🍁
So happy my husband found your channel. He's been looking for an Ohio/Zone 5/6 channel. We are in zone 6A/5B (extreme NW Ohio) The line between 6A and 5B literally goes about a mile west of our house - LOL Love your videos and will be following faithfully. BTW - love your hat! Mind sharing where you got it??? I have 2 - 4x8 raised beds in a local community garden where we are growing "historical" seed varieties. I have 2 - 2x6 elevated beds in my backyard where I am growing peas, carrots, onions, okra, scarlet runner beans and trying to grow beets but only one germinated :) I grow tomatoes and peppers in tubs.
Good Morning, Cathy! I'm glad your husband found my channel too. I enjoy hearing from fellow Ohioans! Sounds like you have some fun things going on in your garden! The hat is from Kohls www.kohls.com/product/prd-4836244/womens-sonoma-goods-for-life-panama-hat-with-flat-knotted-cord.jsp?color=Brown&prdPV=4 Not the best quality, but it'll last me a season or 2. Take care!
Amazing information as always Mrs. Jenna. We got hit with Southern Bacterial Wilt and lost a lot of tomato plants. Just not a good year for us! Keep up the awesome work my friend. Stay safe and have a wonderful weekend.
As always this was an incredibly helpful video for us who are gardening in the same zone as you. Thank you for the timely information. As for what I'm planting... I decided to go ahead and try some cucumbers because my Armenian cucumbers have struggled. It seems to me they're too cool because I have trouble with a lot of melons also. They just don't thrive for me yet and I had no trouble with melons when I lived in zone 7. So I went ahead and started some cucumbers in soil blocks and those went into the ground yesterday and more will go in tomorrow. Also some additional cantaloupe and watermelon again from my own seed starts. And another Armenian cucumber on the off chance that maybe their growth was just stunted due to the cool May. I have also put in more bush beans where I pulled out my spinach just last week. And I need to pull out some of my lettuce and put in some more beans there. And I planted a whole bunch of Ohio natives because a nursery here was having a sale and I could get plants for $2 and they were all Ohio natives. So I put in things like echinacea and heliopsis and wild bergamot and lots more. I even found a spot for Jerusalem artichoke. I am so excited about those but I still need to go out and buy some sort of inground barrier so that it doesn't take over the rest of my yard. LOL
I’m glad you found it helpful, Chere’! It was definitely an unusual May, much cooler than normal- it’s very likely that your melons and Armenian cukes will do better now that it’s warmed up a bit! What a deal on those native plants- very cool! And I love my Jerusalem artichokes- but you’re right to put in a barrier of some sort, they definitely like to spread. Have fun planting and best of luck with all the warm weather crops!
It does get very hot & humid here just like it does for you. But I did replant my salad cart about a week ago (an elevated bed with radish, lettuce mesclun, long standing spinach, Bibb lettuce, arugula) just to see what I can accomplish under shade with lots of water & mulch. My spring salad cart wasn't very successful, I didn't seed as aggressively as I should have & I think there wasn't enough morning sun on it.
Did you mention once you trying Honey Comb Hybrid this season we have repeating them now for the 4th season in the 4th season I've raised my own seedlings . They are on my 4 salad repeating list with your Midnight Snack and Candy Land Red. Also I'm repeating Brad's Atomic grape it's on the bottom for repeating it's difficult to know when to pick it needs to be felt to judge for ripness just time consuming to pick. Thanks
Oh- that's a good point... sweet potato slips are tricky to find this time of year. I hope you are able to find some! And have fun planting those black beans!
I've been slacking on commenting...Sorry! Been a busy guy lately. Not super impressed with my 1st year new garden. Cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli and some kale are not really doing well. Snow peas are the star of the show so far. 6 lbs a week for 3 weeks. Tomatoes were jamming till deer figured out a way in. Set up trail cams to see where they are getting in. Bush beans and sunflowers got hit too.
Don’t know how big your garden is, I have small scattered beds. I put up bamboo sticks. Take tulle ( fabric I get off of eBay, 40 yards to a bolt))) an make a fence with it by clipping it to stakes with clothes pins. Have done this for three years and has worked well. Watch a YT channel Robbie and Gary which is where I got idea.
No worries!! I'm sorry to hear you're not impressed with the garden, but I'm glad the snow peas are producing- that's a great yield! Deer got some of my tomatoes too- I ended up doing something a bit like Sara mentioned to keep them at bay. My determinates all have square tomato cages anyways- I wrap lightweight insect fabric around the cages about 1/2 way up and clothespin them in place. Seems to be doing the trick so far. Rabbits LOVE my sunflowers & beans- I've had to resort to putting hoops and netting over those as well. I hope you don't get too discouraged!!
@@zinnialady5153 thanks for the insight and resource. I'll check it out. I have just under an acre already fenced in ( previously for horses. Added chicken wire 3' high and added 8' 2x2 post to existing posts with nylon sting up ever 1'. Frustrating but we never stop learning do we! Here I come learning curve...lol
Peppers need more warmth than mose any seeds to start and temperature 60 degrees ground temperature also if you put them out to early they get stunted and don't come out of it but stay stunted.
They may just need a bit more time. My peppers are slower to take off than almost anything else in the garden, but they always seem to catch up my mid-season. As an example, I transplanted my peppers & tomatoes at the same time-- the tomatoes have put on a foot of growth already, the peppers have barely moved!! Other than that, just ensure they are getting enough water, especially while getting established.
I was wondering the same thing! My peppers are so slow. I over wintered my jalapenos, but I indoor sowed hot cherry peppers & they are still so small. I put them out the same time as my tomatoes. Thanks for asking the question! Now I know it's not just me 😄
@@mexicas6637 to give you an idea- we just got a nice rain and I swear my tomatoes shot up a foot and are now 3-4' tall. My peppers are still only about 12-18" tall. They'll get there eventually!
Great video! This may be a silly question, but where did you get your hat? I’m a long time brimmed hat wearer and gardener, but I’m not familiar with that perfect hat you’ve got.
Yes-- this is always a very important consideration! The days to maturity that you see listed on seed packets are assuming full sun conditions. Thanks for pointing this out.
That's a great question. I typically don't plant potatoes any later than mid-May, I've just not had good results when I do. Potatoes like cool temps, and will actually stop forming tubers when the temps are too high (I've heard soil temps of 75- 80F-- not sure how accurate that is). I've long wanted to experiment with ways to produce potatoes going into the fall, but have not had a chance to yet. Perhaps if you have a way to keep your soil cooler, perhaps timing the planting so that tuber formation (at about 60 days) is occurring as you're going into the cooler temps of fall... I have nothing definitive to offer you, but if you decided to play around with planting, I'd love to hear how it goes for you!
I am doing just that experiment right now. I've never grown potatoes before and knew they were a crop that preferred cool roots but I was late getting around to it and it was the first week in June. So my experiment is actually to plant them in my raised bed for blueberries which is in an area that gets afternoon shade. It's maybe a 20-in tall raised bed that has had the soil treated to be more acidic underneath of it and then I also used a peat moss heavy mix of soil because it was all for the blueberries. And since potatoes like acidity I thought that was the best spot for them. And I am hopeful because the afternoon shade from this big tree keeps a little cooler in that part of my yard than everywhere else in my veggie garden. So I don't know if I'll actually get tubers because they're only maybe 4 in tall now. But I'm experimenting and we will see.
I typically start all my brassicas (cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli, kale, kohlrabi etc.) indoors from seed the first week of July and transplant out to the garden mid-August.
I live in zone five, probably not much of a difference in zone six. What method of seed starting do you like the best, jiffy Peat pellets, bio sponges, or seed starting mix.
Probably not- especially since I've got a later spring & earlier fall frost date than many other Zone 6 locales. Regarding seed starting- my go to's are still the bio sponges & ProMix seed starting mix (if I'm too lazy to make my own). I strongly dislike peat pellets!
No lettuce? Really. I'm in Cleveland (zone 5, but global warming now has us creeping towards zone 6 per our local Ohio State extension office). I grow lettuce all summer long, and sow new starts on a window sill on the 1st and 15th of every month, and then letting them grow for a couple weeks outside on a shady picnic table. My last sowing is on September 15th. So when a lettuce plant in the garden bolts, we always have several replacements ready to go. I even "break" some gardening rules, often succession cropping lettuce in the same garden spot 2 or 3 times a year, albeit never two years in a row. This has kept us in fresh-harvested lettuce from May through November for decades.
No lettuce. While I realize it’s doable, it’s too much work for me to try to grow it during the heat of the summer. So I grow it through the spring/early summer and then again for a fall harvest and that works out pretty well for me.
@@GrowfullywithJenna No worries. I have a very small garden compared to yours so grow mostly greens-kale, mustard, chard-peppers, tomatoes, bunching onions, leeks, cukes, zucchini, beans, and lettuce. In short, the most expensive veggies on the shelves. And since our kids are in college and spend summers away from home,. we're only growing for 2 so it's easy for us.
Hey have you ever tried our favorite canolope the " Iroquois canolope" we have been loving as our favorite canolope for about 40 years. What is your suggestions for the orange type of canolope. Love your videos , Thanks for teaching.

I also do this with green garlic...when I cannot stand looking at my garlic I will pull a plant and use the garlic green. Super nice flavour!
Enjoy!
Mike 🇨🇦🍁
@@michaellippmann4474 I am SO doing this!! I should have some new potatoes just starting and just cut scrapes. Thank you!!
Thank you
You're welcome
Thank you Jenna 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
You are welcome!!
Your definitely the best thing in Ohio. I know. Ive been there.
😂
Thanks Jenna! My small garden is booming along with vegetables in mineral tubs. I may have overdone it 😊
Oh that's awesome, Jill! I'm so glad to hear it!
Thank you 👍
You're welcome
So happy my husband found your channel. He's been looking for an Ohio/Zone 5/6 channel. We are in zone 6A/5B (extreme NW Ohio) The line between 6A and 5B literally goes about a mile west of our house - LOL Love your videos and will be following faithfully. BTW - love your hat! Mind sharing where you got it???
I have 2 - 4x8 raised beds in a local community garden where we are growing "historical" seed varieties. I have 2 - 2x6 elevated beds in my backyard where I am growing peas, carrots, onions, okra, scarlet runner beans and trying to grow beets but only one germinated :) I grow tomatoes and peppers in tubs.
Good Morning, Cathy! I'm glad your husband found my channel too. I enjoy hearing from fellow Ohioans! Sounds like you have some fun things going on in your garden!
The hat is from Kohls www.kohls.com/product/prd-4836244/womens-sonoma-goods-for-life-panama-hat-with-flat-knotted-cord.jsp?color=Brown&prdPV=4 Not the best quality, but it'll last me a season or 2.
Take care!
Amazing information as always Mrs. Jenna. We got hit with Southern Bacterial Wilt and lost a lot of tomato plants. Just not a good year for us! Keep up the awesome work my friend. Stay safe and have a wonderful weekend.
Oh no CB, I'm sorry to hear that. Is it affecting the tomatoes in the greenhouse too?
No Mam just the outside ones.
@@CBsGreenhouseandGarden well that’s good at least… still, I’m sorry to hear about the outside ones
As always this was an incredibly helpful video for us who are gardening in the same zone as you. Thank you for the timely information. As for what I'm planting... I decided to go ahead and try some cucumbers because my Armenian cucumbers have struggled. It seems to me they're too cool because I have trouble with a lot of melons also. They just don't thrive for me yet and I had no trouble with melons when I lived in zone 7. So I went ahead and started some cucumbers in soil blocks and those went into the ground yesterday and more will go in tomorrow. Also some additional cantaloupe and watermelon again from my own seed starts. And another Armenian cucumber on the off chance that maybe their growth was just stunted due to the cool May. I have also put in more bush beans where I pulled out my spinach just last week. And I need to pull out some of my lettuce and put in some more beans there. And I planted a whole bunch of Ohio natives because a nursery here was having a sale and I could get plants for $2 and they were all Ohio natives. So I put in things like echinacea and heliopsis and wild bergamot and lots more. I even found a spot for Jerusalem artichoke. I am so excited about those but I still need to go out and buy some sort of inground barrier so that it doesn't take over the rest of my yard. LOL
I’m glad you found it helpful, Chere’! It was definitely an unusual May, much cooler than normal- it’s very likely that your melons and Armenian cukes will do better now that it’s warmed up a bit! What a deal on those native plants- very cool! And I love my Jerusalem artichokes- but you’re right to put in a barrier of some sort, they definitely like to spread. Have fun planting and best of luck with all the warm weather crops!
While you’re growing so are your subs. Awesome 😎. I planted sweet potatoes and a opening in the fence allowed the rabbits to feast 😮🙄
Thank you! Those bunnies truly love sweet potatoes (as do the deer). They got about half of mine. I hope that at least some of yours make it!
Just what I needed to know! Thanks Jenna!
You are most welcome, Gary! Take care!
Well Riding in a car here. Can’t get the thing to play through. Will try later. Happy weekend.
Happy weekend to you too!
It does get very hot & humid here just like it does for you. But I did replant my salad cart about a week ago (an elevated bed with radish, lettuce mesclun, long standing spinach, Bibb lettuce, arugula) just to see what I can accomplish under shade with lots of water & mulch. My spring salad cart wasn't very successful, I didn't seed as aggressively as I should have & I think there wasn't enough morning sun on it.
I'd love to know how it goes for you, Cassie- best wishes!
Did you mention once you trying Honey Comb Hybrid this season we have repeating them now for the 4th season in the 4th season I've raised my own seedlings . They are on my 4 salad repeating list with your Midnight Snack and Candy Land Red. Also I'm repeating Brad's Atomic grape it's on the bottom for repeating it's difficult to know when to pick it needs to be felt to judge for ripness just time consuming to pick.
Thanks
Great information ma'am ❤️ Thank you so much👍🙏❣️ From India 😁
You are most welcome. It's wonderful to hear from you, all the way from India. Take care & best wishes!
@@GrowfullywithJenna Thank you , you too take care😁👍
Hello I love your channel and how you explain everything!!! You said peanuts!!! How do you grow peanuts?
This is how I grow them 😁: ua-cam.com/video/UIbxUbUgLSQ/v-deo.html
I'm in zone 6A in Missouri. I have space to plant some black beans..I would love to plant sweet potatoe slips...if i could find some.
Oh- that's a good point... sweet potato slips are tricky to find this time of year. I hope you are able to find some! And have fun planting those black beans!
I've been slacking on commenting...Sorry! Been a busy guy lately. Not super impressed with my 1st year new garden. Cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli and some kale are not really doing well. Snow peas are the star of the show so far. 6 lbs a week for 3 weeks. Tomatoes were jamming till deer figured out a way in. Set up trail cams to see where they are getting in. Bush beans and sunflowers got hit too.
Don’t know how big your garden is, I have small scattered beds. I put up bamboo sticks. Take tulle ( fabric I get off of eBay, 40 yards to a bolt))) an make a fence with it by clipping it to stakes with clothes pins. Have done this for three years and has worked well. Watch a YT channel Robbie and Gary which is where I got idea.
No worries!! I'm sorry to hear you're not impressed with the garden, but I'm glad the snow peas are producing- that's a great yield! Deer got some of my tomatoes too- I ended up doing something a bit like Sara mentioned to keep them at bay. My determinates all have square tomato cages anyways- I wrap lightweight insect fabric around the cages about 1/2 way up and clothespin them in place. Seems to be doing the trick so far. Rabbits LOVE my sunflowers & beans- I've had to resort to putting hoops and netting over those as well. I hope you don't get too discouraged!!
Great tip, Sara!
@@zinnialady5153 thanks for the insight and resource. I'll check it out. I have just under an acre already fenced in ( previously for horses. Added chicken wire 3' high and added 8' 2x2 post to existing posts with nylon sting up ever 1'. Frustrating but we never stop learning do we! Here I come learning curve...lol
Wow very impressed with your snow peas. I don't sow enough idea
🙂
I think you are
So cute!
So intelligent!
So hard-working!
You are very kind- thank you!
I want to do a late planting of zucchini this year. I've never tried planting it after mid-May, hoping it does well. Thanks for the video.
You should! They mature so quickly that it's a very easy succession crop to start from seed. Best of luck!
I pulled turnips today to make room for beans. Everything else is in the ground. Ant advice on slow growing pepper plants?
Peppers need more warmth than mose any seeds to start and temperature 60 degrees ground temperature also if you put them out to early they get stunted and don't come out of it but stay stunted.
They may just need a bit more time. My peppers are slower to take off than almost anything else in the garden, but they always seem to catch up my mid-season. As an example, I transplanted my peppers & tomatoes at the same time-- the tomatoes have put on a foot of growth already, the peppers have barely moved!! Other than that, just ensure they are getting enough water, especially while getting established.
I was wondering the same thing! My peppers are so slow. I over wintered my jalapenos, but I indoor sowed hot cherry peppers & they are still so small. I put them out the same time as my tomatoes. Thanks for asking the question! Now I know it's not just me 😄
@@mexicas6637 to give you an idea- we just got a nice rain and I swear my tomatoes shot up a foot and are now 3-4' tall. My peppers are still only about 12-18" tall. They'll get there eventually!
Great video!
This may be a silly question, but where did you get your hat? I’m a long time brimmed hat wearer and gardener, but I’m not familiar with that perfect hat you’ve got.
I got it on clearance at Kohls several years ago
Take in to consideration how much sun your garden gets. My garden doesn’t get all day sun. My garden grows slower than it should.
Yes-- this is always a very important consideration! The days to maturity that you see listed on seed packets are assuming full sun conditions. Thanks for pointing this out.
Guess i will still try toget out my 63 day corn
Best of luck!
Love having so much in common, I am Buffalo, NY! I saw you mentioned Ginger mint. I can't find seeds for that can you direct me where I can get those?
The ginger mint I got as a plant-- but I can't recall from where... perhaps Territorial Seeds, but it appears they are now out of stock.
Hi Jenna, I might have missed it but what about another round of regular potatoes? Would those grow a good crop if started now?
That's a great question. I typically don't plant potatoes any later than mid-May, I've just not had good results when I do. Potatoes like cool temps, and will actually stop forming tubers when the temps are too high (I've heard soil temps of 75- 80F-- not sure how accurate that is). I've long wanted to experiment with ways to produce potatoes going into the fall, but have not had a chance to yet. Perhaps if you have a way to keep your soil cooler, perhaps timing the planting so that tuber formation (at about 60 days) is occurring as you're going into the cooler temps of fall... I have nothing definitive to offer you, but if you decided to play around with planting, I'd love to hear how it goes for you!
I am doing just that experiment right now. I've never grown potatoes before and knew they were a crop that preferred cool roots but I was late getting around to it and it was the first week in June. So my experiment is actually to plant them in my raised bed for blueberries which is in an area that gets afternoon shade. It's maybe a 20-in tall raised bed that has had the soil treated to be more acidic underneath of it and then I also used a peat moss heavy mix of soil because it was all for the blueberries. And since potatoes like acidity I thought that was the best spot for them. And I am hopeful because the afternoon shade from this big tree keeps a little cooler in that part of my yard than everywhere else in my veggie garden. So I don't know if I'll actually get tubers because they're only maybe 4 in tall now. But I'm experimenting and we will see.
@@CJ_536 I’d love to hear the results!!
When do you start fall seeds like cabbage again ? I'm in cleveland area.
I typically start all my brassicas (cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli, kale, kohlrabi etc.) indoors from seed the first week of July and transplant out to the garden mid-August.
im present ❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏
I'm glad you're here!!
Hi 🌹
Hi
I live in zone five, probably not much of a difference in zone six. What method of seed starting do you like the best, jiffy Peat pellets, bio sponges, or seed starting mix.
Probably not- especially since I've got a later spring & earlier fall frost date than many other Zone 6 locales. Regarding seed starting- my go to's are still the bio sponges & ProMix seed starting mix (if I'm too lazy to make my own). I strongly dislike peat pellets!
🤗🙏
💚
Hi Jen sHaLoM 🕎🙏 your so pretty today
Thank you, Roger.
No lettuce? Really. I'm in Cleveland (zone 5, but global warming now has us creeping towards zone 6 per our local Ohio State extension office). I grow lettuce all summer long, and sow new starts on a window sill on the 1st and 15th of every month, and then letting them grow for a couple weeks outside on a shady picnic table. My last sowing is on September 15th. So when a lettuce plant in the garden bolts, we always have several replacements ready to go. I even "break" some gardening rules, often succession cropping lettuce in the same garden spot 2 or 3 times a year, albeit never two years in a row. This has kept us in fresh-harvested lettuce from May through November for decades.
No lettuce. While I realize it’s doable, it’s too much work for me to try to grow it during the heat of the summer. So I grow it through the spring/early summer and then again for a fall harvest and that works out pretty well for me.
@@GrowfullywithJenna No worries. I have a very small garden compared to yours so grow mostly greens-kale, mustard, chard-peppers, tomatoes, bunching onions, leeks, cukes, zucchini, beans, and lettuce. In short, the most expensive veggies on the shelves. And since our kids are in college and spend summers away from home,. we're only growing for 2 so it's easy for us.

Planting weeds in the trash can
Haha- yes, I'm doing a lot of that too...

Hey have you ever tried our favorite canolope the " Iroquois canolope" we have been loving as our favorite canolope for about 40 years.
What is your suggestions for the orange type of canolope.
Love your videos , Thanks for teaching.
Go for it!!
I have not-- I love trying out new (to me) varieties, and will adding this one to the list for next year. Thanks for the suggestion!
