I’m glad I have your channel to follow in North Texas. It’s so hard to keep up on when and what to plant. Very useful information. I’m pretty much on track with everything! Yay 😁 Just need the daytime highs to cool down a little bit more…

Your dates for planting are about the same as mine. They really do not vary much since the same cold front may freeze for a 100 miles, making them all the same. And the seedlings in the seed tray that I used the Fox Farm potting mix are doing really well.

The cowpeas will grow like gang busters, until the first cold temperatures in the 40's. That usually happens sometimes around Thanksgiving (seems like on the very day). Once the first really cold spell hits they stall out and never come back to producing even if things warm back up. They really like hot temperatures.

I’m just starting my garden and heard that broccoli will bolt in warm temps. How are you keeping it from bolting since it’s still hot? I’m in Denton TX btw

Harvesting fruit is truly an art.

Gardening, the art of failing but always trying again because THIS COULD BE THE YEAR!!! 😅 But also, I struggled with all of my starfighter tomatoes. All four varieties I grew acted much like you described. I’m on the fence on if I want to try again. I probably will until I run out of seeds, or get distracted by new varieties.

I am grateful for the rain we got, its been a while. Im in Carrollton, TX, so not terribly far from you. I didn't appreciate how the wind knocked down some of my pepper plants, though. Yiu wind some you lase some

What is this "rain" you speak of ? The word sounds familiar. When I got my city bill it said stage 4 water restrictions. No watering. You've probably thought about water catchment for your future farm, don't forget about grey water. I don't hear a lot of gardening/homesteading channels talk about it. Grey water is keeping some of my ornamental plants alive. Sounds like your back is better, didn't hear any pain in your voice this video.

If you haven't tried "Ashley" Cucumbers, they have done exceptional for me. They are a pickling type and with 5 vines, I was picking 4-6 every other day all summer. I'm in Grayson County, North Texas

If I could send you the over abundance or okra I am having right now, I totally would. I may have planted too much.

I really feel like sending you a bunch of seeds just to mess up your seed organization. But If you learn more from failures than successes, I can say I am a much smarter gardener this year than last year.

I may have won the battle against the mice that were stealing my eggplants. I'm hoping I got them all. I've already got so many flowers coming back with eggplants growing now that they're gone 🤞

If my memory is correct, the Porter tomato was developed by a seed company out of Stephenville, Texas. It went out of business before the internet (seems like the 80's), but since Porter was open pollinated it has survived. My parents used to plant that variety every year since it produced so heavily. Been a while since I have grown it. Hope your back gets to feeling better.

Really hard to think of things to exclude this early. However, I did cut down all of my Jujube trees. Did not like the taste and those thorns are brutal. And blue berries tomato will not make the planting list. It was productive, pretty, and vigorous but the taste was kind of bland. Usually I grow what I like best and plant till I run out of room. I may have too much room.

3 originals, 3 prequels, 3 sequels. If you don't grow Rebel Starfighter Prime with the other 2, the trilogy is incomplete. Are you sure you're a fan?😁 Uh-oh, only growing 2 ! There are always 2, no more, no less, a master and an apprentice. You're a Sith !! I also want to grow it all, including things I don't like the taste of, I'll find someone that does. I like tomatoes and recently found out there are over 10,000 varieties. I'm gonna need a bigger yard.

Video did get me to thinking if a salt shaker would work for planting carrots. Some have pretty big holes, and carrot seeds are very small. I may have to look and give it a try. Chaos planting in the spring should extend the harvest of the carrots. I am surprised how long carrots will survive when planted in the spring. They will not grow bigger, but can last well into the summer if give some protection. Enjoyed the video.

Insane Pepper stalk! Our Jalapenos do excellent. Like zero care besides the odd watering growing out from the chicken coop. I made the mistake of not labeling any pepper. So taste testing was a roulette. I do not handle heat well. We planted tons of brassicas and lettuce. 3 Days of Rain so the ion nitro charged droplets are doing amazing things for all our germination. We're banking on the long season to help us grow some squash. Our 3 candy roaster plants are getting very big. Looks promising. Look for a commenter Katharinefaye <- I watch her as well. Glad to see her here! You're both amazing gardners!

Glad you got some of your carrots up. Mine came up pretty good, but the fire ants decided to eat them down. They did it in the past but it was during the winter. They do it at night so you do not see them unless you go out at night. Birds have got my vining cow peas in the past, but they stole them from the pods. I would have a good long pod that had every pea eaten out. It seems everything tries to get our hard earned produce. Your brassicas are looking good.

That white velvet okra sounds amazing 🤩

Always interesting seeing how southern gardens are doing going into autumn compared to my northeast one! Awesome video! ☺

Your peppers look amazing! They’re so healthy and the leaves are HUGE. Do touch have any tips? I’ve struggled with my sweet peppers this year. Hot peppers did great but I’ve only gotten 3 tiny bell peppers

You could always grow some micro tomatoes and grow them partly inside, partly outside and have tomatoes in January.

You should really like the Sungold cherry tomato. It is one of the first to produce and is usually considered the best tasting of the sweet tomatoes, my wife's favorite. Red snapper is a good producer with very good disease resistance. Will be growing both of those next year.

Great haul! Can you tell me more about the seed swap? I need to look into something like that because I have seeds that I don’t really want anymore and would love to see what’s out there

So I know it has been a bit, I've been a silent lurker for a while. Just wanted to say how excited I am to see you grow some of these. Also curious to see how your onion growing adventure turns out.

Woo patty pan 45 days! Jolene Tomatoes are sounding perfect! 50 day pickler? Winning!

Plan on planting my second round of transplants in trays in the next couple of days. Did not get a good germ on some of my plants. Micro tomatoes are doing well, hope for tomatoes in the winter.

We seeded Black Simpson , Ruby Red and butter Crunch. I did put some a spattering of Kale ( Russian ) but avoided curly leaf types ( not a huge kale fan yet...). Someone SUPER COOL send us Swiss Chard! I still have to edit a video on spinach but it'll give me time as we have to scrape up soil for spinach ( bloomsdale and I forget...) our beets are Detroit reds and a colored mixed bag. I just finished the 2nd wave of corn. Asparagus beans and cucumbers (marketmore / double yield ). Broccoli are sprinkled around in the flower bed as it dies back along with all those beets. I may also throw down a handful of Rutabaga. Things we do not plant are onions, shallots and garlic. I do not have room this year YET! Maybe next year. I have a few squashes in and will try pumpkins due to are stupid long grow season deep into the 2nd week of January. <- Tn is Cool like that. Later Gator! Good luck to us both!

We did notice a trend on how your sunflowers faced... Our are always east facing! I assume that would be east in your garden?

So a small horn worm = a bulk egg hatching. Keep your eyes peeled for the next two weeks. You and I did well on peppers this year. I am NOT a pepper grower! I've tried Okra again and I just cannot like it. 😝 We sowed in beets, chard ( Obv ) corn, squash varieties , lettuce and spinach. Fingers crossed we'll have a better fall garden. This summer was a doozie!

Love the tomato plants! Mine are like a jungle. It’s fun to see the other side of the coin….

Every eggplant I've grown was devoured by what I thought were squirrels. I put out a ring camera, and it turns out it was mice. Now we are at war.

Your garden is looking good. Not sure if we are through the hot temperatures. Never know. My Dad once took the last week of September off work to build fence. It was over 100 degrees every day. My parents live near Waco.

I'd never grown basil before but in May I was given some Sweet Basil plants. When I got them they were pot bound and almost dead but started growing and looking great once planted. By the middle of June they were putting on flowers every few days. I got tired of cutting the flowers off so often and just let them flower and die. Watching your channel and others mine seemed to try to flower unusually often. Any ideas why, maybe I wasn't giving enough water, I'm bad about that.

We would listen to Neil Sperry on the way to church every Sunday Morning in the late 70's/early 80's. It took us 30 to 45 minutes to get to church. My carrots have germinated, so far so good. Might try beets as well. I have endive and mustard coming up volunteer in one of my trough container. Plan to plant a second round of broccoli next week.

This is very helpful! Thank you for sharing. This is my second season gardening in Dallas so I’m definitely still learning a lot. I already did most of the things you said but there are a few that I missed. I will get my garlic ordered ASAP!

Amazing how fast Hornworms grow overnight. 2 days of no garden observation. Day 3 our peppers and tomatoes leaves got chewed down hard.

Shower Mode always. Messy One is like.... drenching soil. Long power thin is mostly a cheap power washer mode. Misting mode used behind a super strong industrial shop fan in a desert garage to produce swamp cooling. ( I've seen this done in Colorado when I was an ex-millionair.)

Hahahahhahaha!! All the time!

Don't knock it! You Could grow those radishes as big! Our neighbor Eric and Brit grew a 16 inch cucumber. <- That was from my seeds bank. I need the seeds from that Cuke! Cover crops will provide a micro climate, retain soil moisture, send carbon and sugars down to feed the microbes. Nice green manure to chop and drop and some people with bigger land fold into the soil adding more nitrogen , organic matter... then rinse repeat the process. I'm no farmer. I'd hate the responsibility of caring for massive tracks of land. Hard enough for us to maintain grow bags. Our seeds are popping up for the fall. we have 4 of 5 Candy roasters doing great. They sizzled in the heat+ drought this summer. I think we can make it!

Good Morning Dr.Salty. I'll be working on the seeds shortly. Do another shout out vid. Thanks for providing us with content. I wish i had land set up to do cover cropping. For now its just chop and dropping weeds. I don't know what was worst. Your tatter bugs or my flea Beetles. I vote we send them to war against one another and the winners get a free dip in a bucket of water with a sealed lid!

I grew daikon radish last year in one of my garden plots. It did pretty well, was easy to terminate. May do it again this year, not sure. In the past I have grown the regular white flowered buckwheat. It grew well, was easy to terminate but did tend to reseed. Pollinators really liked it. I also tried a cover crop of annual ryegrass. Big mistake, since it is very hard to kill, even with a tiller. Good for winter pasture, just not for the garden. I plan on using red ripper pea next year, since you can eat it and it covers well. Those vines will grow everywhere.

I'm to late to be in the 1k, but I subscribed. This was very helpful and I am looking forward to watching your previous and furture videos.

I buy the big elephant garlic from HEB and plant the cloves from them. I have had pretty good success. They do well in the south, although they are not a true garlic. The odd pepper looked a little like a mini bell. If you bite into one and it is hot, I will admit I am wrong. I would go ahead and take down the okra . They may attract more nematodes the longer they grow. Okra really attracts nematodes.

I hear comments help with the algorithm, so... The way those Sun Flowers are staring into the green house makes me wonder what's going on in there.😁 I don't like okra(for eating, like the flowers though) so I'd vote to remove and replace them. Are they to old to branch if cut back, say in half. An experiment maybe.

Your garden looks amazing! Glad you got rain. Still waiting here in Dallas 🙃

By the way, I enjoy Swiss Chard in a grilled cheese sandwich for a bit of fun color and crunch.

Really happy to find your channel as I plan a garden in my first home in Denton!

great video! funny, I took a video of my plants during totality too 😄

nice! I'm in Plano and my tomato plants haven't made any in months due to the heat... I'm really hoping they start producing again soon as it cools off. Did the shade cloth help your tomatoes produce?
