I was a Master Gardner way back when I lived in NJ under the Rutgers program. But then I moved way down south a few years ago. All your videos including the months are very helpful I have been buying your seeds for some time. In fact I viewed them again to make note of the seeds to buy. I just placed one order last night. Southern gardening is so different, the bugs and weeds are the worst of my problems. In the north the cold kills off the bugs. But I will never give up... :) Thank you
7b grower here and I think this is the most challenging growing zone because I am on the line. The tips you gave excite me but also make me realize my past failures. I have decided this fall other than garlic and onions...I am composting and tarping my raised beds hoping to do a do-over for next year. Thanks for the video.
Now is a good time to start kale for us. I started in September last year and it stayed small until spring. Our problem is to keep seeds moist and young plants from burning through August, but once September hits we should be good to enjoy the growth during the warm days in winter and small harvests off each plant until spring.
You told us at this time... last year... that Chard does well starting right now... thru fall/winter in zone 8/9/10. And you were correct... my plants are a year old and thriving. TY for the great advise. Time to plant some turnips me thinks?
Same as us here in the Central FLorida area! But humid as heck here - don’t know about there - Shes in Georgia too. I looked up our first frost date - Jan to Feb! LOL and then spring usually March!
I’m down in Orange County (10b). I’m starting direct sowing a new round of summer veggies. I’ll be sees starting my fall foods at the end of the month.
MTCali 70 I’m in the same area. The constant 100+ degree heat waves have been absolutely killing my crops plus lots of bug damage. What do you have growing right now?
Howdy. You left out North Central Florida, Marion county. I guess you included us in the North Florida part of the video. However, I'm a nub at gardening & want to grow some tomatoes, sweet potatoes, carrots & sweet bell peppers this year. Peanuts, onions & garlic next year. Help.
What about gardeners that live in the PNW? We still have time to plant a fall garden. What seeds would you recommend? I know of some but I'm sure there are many more I don't know about. Zone 6b. Maybe do a video on PNW fall planting.
Shannie, As residents of the near super-hot south near Houston we appreciate your southern gardener tips. A couple of years ago, you were touring the far west and were able to speak with Cliven Bundy. My memory is that you said that he had some real insights for hot, low-water farming. Were you ever able to share any of that information? Did Cliven produce any materials that are available to the public? Thank you.
I finally had Corbaci peppers fruiting....... then the storm thrashed my gardens! Lime basil survived but it's blown over sideways. Tree fell on my Corbaci. Cut it in half. I hope it survives. I really wanted to try it.
I’m in zone 8a in southeastern coastal virginia. I want to plant some lettuces, kale, chard...I know to be safe I should wait until September, but I’m getting a greenstalk planter tower that I’ll move in the shade until the weather cools down and I bough heat resistant varieties. Knowing I would be pushing it when do you think it’s the earliest I could plant them?
Letizia Castiglione try seed starts and place your tray in a cooler, or ice packs in a plastic cooler, don't let the ice packs touch your starter mix, they can spend the nite after they start their 1st leaves in the cooler, then daytime place your seed starts in a shady spot. You'll get great plant starts, remember to harden them to sunshine and keep your shade cloth handy for those extra hot days. Thats' what the pros do and it works, I tried it and I'm sold. Blessings.
Linda Hipple thank you for your answer! You mean having a cooler outside with the top open? Keep them in there constantly until they have their first leaves, then switch between night in cooler/day in shade, correct? If I do it this way could I start next week?
@@letiziacastiglione2492 yes, try it keeping in mind lettuce likes to be a little cool to sprout its' seeds. Find which works for you, each persons' set up in their area is a little diffrent but its' very doable! The only failure I had was I planted one early spring lettuce seed variety and warm weather variety and it got to 100f..the seedlings were too warm to fast and I lost about 50% of cool weather variety, but my warm weather lettuce thrived and I'm harvesting leaves very early in the am..I can now grow lettuce all year around, I live in zone 7b.
@@lindahipple4817 in a cooler... as in an igloo type cooler? Can you elaborate more, please? I am in Texas bordering 8B/9A... I have never heard of this.... starts from a cooler??? Fascinating... would love to try!
Do you have any tips for growing beets in central Florida? I have been trying different varieties but they all fail I’ve tried direct seeding and transplanting too. I’ve tried growing them in winter and spring they grow very weak and don’t form bulb, they get a lot of pests too. I have raised beds and try organic fertilizers.
My bonnie best tomatoes got a late start but growing far bigger then a cherry and yet to turn red! Tommy Toe tomatoes have lots of green full sized tomatoes that haven't ripened yet German Lunchbox tomatoes are healthy plants but not producing as much as the other 2 varieties and yet to ripen any tomatoes yet Boston Pickling Cucumbers are very vigorous Tam Jalapeños are doing excellent Cubanelle peppers are doing great Banana peppers are just starting to produce Bullnose Bell peppers are struggling between the tomatoes and other peppers Sugar Baby watermelon are growing fast now My first garden ever! And its doing awesome!!! I'm in Ohio and bought all my seed from BakerCreek aka rareseeds.com
My raised beds are infested with termites.. they even burrowed into a few of my dragon tongue bean sprouts.. any suggestions to treat organically? Or is it even that big of an issue?
Hi, Shannie. If you uploaded a video for the Northern Growers...it didn't take. The only one that posted is for the Southern Growers. Best wishes from Kate in Olympia, WA - 8/4/2020.
Thank you for including us Southern gardners! Please do this every month, I love the suggestions and the reminders.
Shannie McCabe's suggestions for warm central/south Florida (mostly if you're in a low or no frost area):
Tomatoes (especially cherry tomatoes)
Peppers (sweet or hot)
Eggplant
Okra
Upper South -- North Carolina, Georgia? Think about frost date.
Beans
Summer Squash (depending on squash bug population)
Beets (don't like extreme heat) -- but taste great after frost
Carrots (some areas - hate extreme heat, need right moisture to germinate). So good after frost!
Collard Greens (maybe start indoors and transplant)
Mustard Greens - late August or transplant
Turnips (short season varieties, try Japanese salad types)
At last! We are recognized for a completely different growing season, THANK YOU!
thank you my first planting year in the South around Savannah Ga ...thank u for your time and knowledge...stay blessed
I wish you provide direct links to the vegetables mentioned so I can impulsively buy them. lol Need carrot seeds now. :)
or at least a list of the veggies mentioned :-)

Thanks for doing the videos for South. This really helps.
These videos are SO GREAT! THANK YOU.
I’ve just received your beautiful catalogue. I can’t wait to order more seeds! 😊
I am in zone 10a lol, excruciating summer heat about sums it up. 🤣
Thanks for the great info. I live near Crescent City, Fl (St Johns River about halfway between Jax and Orlando).

Thank you for doing these videos! I am ready to get some more beets- I love them.
Thank you. I live in Houston, TX and a second year veggie gardener. We didn’t ever freeze last winter.
And a few years ago, we hard froze for a week and had an ice storm in February 🤪
I live in Northern California, San Joaquin Valley, where it is HOT from July to October..in the high 90s-100s..
Same as us here in the Central FLorida area! But humid as heck here - don’t know about there - Shes in Georgia too. I looked up our first frost date - Jan to Feb! LOL and then spring usually March!

MTCali 70 I’m in the same area. The constant 100+ degree heat waves have been absolutely killing my crops plus lots of bug damage. What do you have growing right now?
I hate the rain here in Houston. It's killed off most of my peppers and tomatoes.

You tend to skip right from south Florida (10ish) straight to "northern" south zone 7 - how about us folks in zones 9 and 8?
Do you have any tips for growing beets in central Florida? I have been trying different varieties but they all fail I’ve tried direct seeding and transplanting too. I’ve tried growing them in winter and spring they grow very weak and don’t form bulb, they get a lot of pests too. I have raised beds and try organic fertilizers.
shannie did a video on container planting beets while down in FL -> ua-cam.com/video/MuEzkUZxiYY/v-deo.html
RareSeeds excellent thank you
I live in the Arizona desert 9a & 9b. What can I plant now for fall at 107 degree and above?
you could start the things shannie suggested now, but indoors or under some shadecloth outside
@@RareSeedsBC 👌 awesome!!!! Will do!!!
Where in central Florida? Where is this community garden I have been searching For some thing like this forever!
Most likely Orlando I know there are a few around there or St Pete they have a few too.
If you find out, I’d be interested as well. I’m in lake county with my first garden in 30 years and very first in Florida. Help is always welcomed.
Apopka!
Are those bitter melons growing there that are next to your left shoulder? If not what is it? TIA
There is no Planting in August for the North... Please advise.. thank you in advance ♥
we did one for july here ua-cam.com/video/Hh24hUq9dFo/v-deo.html
getting this late you couldfocus mostly on cold tolerant leafy greens, like kale and lettuces!

German Lunchbox tomatoes are healthy plants but not producing as much as the other 2 varieties and yet to ripen any tomatoes yet

Love your skirt! Whats that growing by your shoulder?
Bitter melon! :)
I was reading comments looking for this question.
Does this apply to super south like 10b?? Everyone’s telling me too hot for beets in Aug 💔☹️
you will want to plant later than shannie suggested, one to one and a half months later should be good!
Does this apply to the Southwest US (10b)?
you will want to plant later than shannie suggested, one to one and a half months later should be good!
Shannie where in central FL are you growing? I'm in Okeechobee
Apopka!
Still, too hot in zone 9 for beans, mine got fried lol
u are well spoken wholesome and very beautiful young lady , I love your informative videos
Would CA be included as a ‘southern’ garden, zone 9b? Lol
yes! :)
I feel like the hardiness zone system doesn't really work for us in the pacific northwest.
Days To Maturity is usually more accurate
What's it gonna take for Hawai'i to get a shoutout in one of these videos? =)
PNW zone 8b. 1st Frost Oct 24-Nov13.

None of this helped at all for the humidity in south east Texas. No cold temperatures until we know when it gets here. Thank you anyway.
What no love for us Yankees this year
Here is the video from last August that covers our zones

Thanks for sharing that Ramibu! and yes that video is perfect for you!
I've seen that one a hundred times was hoping for one this year for us North since South got one , not life or death obviously
nyunixguru were just a little late releasing the northern video! It’s headed your way
Was only kidding, just would be nice to have also a new one if South got one, can't hurt
