Hi Brian, I've already started my fall garden with New Kuroda carrots, Purple Dragon carrots, Kyoto Red carrots, Uzbek gold carrots, Navone Gold rutabagas, Purple Top rutabagas, and turnips. I have five newly sprouted cucumber vines growing, and a batch of Danvers and red potatoes that will be ready to harvest in about a week. I will be resowing the red potatoes with potatoes from an earlier harvest. My zucchini are done, and dying, two plants. Tomorrow, I'll pull them up, and replace them with lemon squash, and yellow scallop squash. In August, I will be planting more turnips, Yod Fah, Chinese Cabbage, Bok Choy, and maybe some radishes. As the temperatures cool, in September, I will be planting the bulk of my fall garden. First, I have to prepare another 4x8 foot raised bed. I'm running our of garden space. LOL. I have a goal to produce half of the food I eat, or more, from my garden next year. I'm learning to can, freeze, and dehydrate, and have a deep freezer that is nearly full, and tomatoes and pickles on the shelf ready to eat this winter. I'm out of basil. Any guess at what I am picking tomorrow and dehydrating?
Don't forget you can jumpstart a new tomato plant right now by cutting a "sucker" out of the armpit of an existing tomato plant. This is often called cloning because you get an exact replica of the parent plant. Stick the stem in water up to the first leaf in a sunny windowsill and wait about 2 weeks for the roots to form, then plant it. The more stem the better, so clip a leaf or two off. I've got 2 San Marzano clones going right now for fall!
@@apiecemaker1163 Maybe they have to be an indeterminate type in order to clone? The San Marzanos I cloned produced maybe 5 lbs of tomatoes. But then, I have a first frost date of December 19th. And to make them root, you can persuade them by dipping the stems in rooting hormone powder before putting them in water.
@@jeannamcgregor9967 ahh makes sense. Mine were jet star. I picked a few more off this morning and plan to try again. I’m also going to hopefully get my seeds going this week also. Thank you for responding. Have a beautiful Sunday.
I started a fall garden in 2020 and loved it. Last year I planted my crops earlier than Burpee says and had problems with white flies, and fungus gnats, but as the weather cooled down my garden thrived and love the cooler weather and the fewer bugs. Fall is my favorite time to garden! Thanks for your tips!
My tomatoes this year are the ones who are tired. They have been sun burnt, diseased and insect havens. I’m blessed to have gotten the few good ones I did. Today, I direct sowed bush beans and I’ve started some greens and my second crop of potatoes. I am praying for all the homesteaders and farmers who are suffering in these extreme temps, floods and drought this season.
I just planted a bunch of seeds today on trays to start my fall garden. I will have a winter garden. I have 12 raised beds & use the hoop house approach. Love having fresh vegs all winter & no bugs!
zone 7A, Colorado high desert. been getting my fall garden ready for the first time. I have 75 days from now to "first frost". have sprouts of carrots, beets, radishes, bok choy, and 60 day determinate paste tomatoes!!.. seedlings in the house of cauliflower, broccoli, rappini, cabbage. started indoor microgreens of basil, sunflower and dill. my squash and zucks were decimated by earwigs, the 4th planting is taking off now! thanks in large part to the info i have gotten from you! your dedication to your plants, and your audience is an inspiration. I appreciate your authenticity and humility! your just a dude, doing what you do, and sharing it honestly! thank you for the time you put into all of us!

Thanks Brian! I'm in Alberta Canada and oh boy. What a crappy season so far. 😂 between all the aphids on my petunias, mites on my peas and spreading to some other flowers and my cucumbers, PLUS the ants in my yard and worms on my strawberry leaves I am at my wits end! So far all the bad storms with hail have missed us thank God that would be the icing on the cake. 🙄😒

You’re so helpful to me and have made a huge difference in my garden this year! I’m no longer afraid and avoiding the tough stuff about gardening because I know where to go for accurate advice and options. Thank you!!!!
Your garden is looking great! I have hardly harvested this year due to the heat. It has been getting to over a hundred by 8 in the morning for weeks on end now. Finally the temps are dropping a little, but we luckily we got rain this morning. The first time I won't have to water my garden since Spring. It's been a crazy season all around for us.
100+ daily in Austin, Texas, appreciating the survivors. Collards, peppers (can't set fruit over 100 but they're hanging in there till cools in fall.) One purple pepper - will seed-save that as it's proven itself. Fruit trees like pear, apple, elderberry doing well in dappled shade from trees & tall bamboo. People have a range of opinions on my "urban forest", especially the bamboo - some really enjoy the shade and the look, lush contrast to sun-baked yards with grass & a few bushes, trees. Others criticize ... but garden shaded by bamboo on west, south flourishes, & it makes yard livable / house a few degrees cooler. The south garden in sun takes a lot of watering & even what survives can't produce. It all works when you think of it as learning, finding out what to do coming season. Thank you all for sharing, it helps to know we're all going through a rough patch.
@@janetmacdonald2823 - Yes it does. Thank you for sharing your story too. Same with the peppers here but I’m sure I’ll be covered up by them soon enough. Lol
Thank you for this video! SC heat and humidity has decimated my garden!!! Ugh. I pulled out all of my vine borer riddled squash and zucchini 2 weeks ago, but this gave me hope. Tomato seeds were started last week to try again after fighting caterpillars and blight. I found a few tomato starts also. I've had some trouble starting seeds indoors. So many were leggy or never sprouted. Live and learn...I tried. This video gave me hope that squash and tomato season isn't over for me. 😁 Thank you!!! 🌱
Hi Julia ~ I am having the same problem with growing my plants inside. They would get really long and leggy then fall over and die🤔I will keep trying. I'm with you this video gave me a little hope for my pitiful little greenhouse garden.
I had to pull out my zucchini plant because of squash borer. Only got about 5 zucchini 🥲 Last year I had a ton. Just planted a zucchini plant 4 days ago. It’s up good now. Hope I get more zucchini… I use a lot. Casseroles and zucchini bread, yum!
Fall garden planned for this first-timer! After watching one of your videos I was inspired to get ready for fall 🙂 I've got broccoli and brussell sprouts growing under the lights right now.
This year has been terrible from the heat. I have barely had any tomatoes and my squash is minimal. 4 to be exact. 1 zucchini. The heat had just about burned my garden out. Thank you for the great information. Going to start again. Today was the first day we received rain since April. Love all your video. Thanks for giving me hope!!!
get grow bags for zuc n squash, I never had so many of both as this year because of squash bugs n you actually can do a crop now of each especially if you can find plants at a greenhouse, amish have them generally for fall if you have Amish by you.. or do container of each. Last year I did butternut by accident in a pot, never got the plant out a medium sz pot n had about 26 butternut n surprised it grew so much because of roots in a pot
For sure! Been prepping my beds and planted a summer cover crops (blk eyed peas), to chop and drop. Because here in SW FL , there not a ton that grows in this summer heat. Have seeds started to transplant. Hot composted all summer. Ammending and prepping. And I am ready for the fall garden for sure!!
Plant cucumbers halfway thru summer? Who knew?!! I will plant it in a few days. Maybe that will help against the powdery mildew I get on my cucumbers halfway thru summer when it's hot and humid. Thanks for the tip!!
I had planted armenian cucumbers earlier in the year. Male blooms galore, but no cucumbers...so a couple days ago I planted regular cucumber seed. 12 hills on a trellis. Today I found 3 armenian cucumbers ready to harvest. I may be sick of cucumbers before it's over. Lol
This year is my come back garden.done one many many years ago. But this yr I was determined to grow food again. I'm planning on a fall garden for sure. Justa few things qnd see how it goes.
Actually just started my tomato seeds today, inside where it's only 77F and well over 100 outside daily. Will plant out after turning the soil mid September. In Phoenix we must adapt and overcome. I've found this schedule to work very well.
Yes. Phoenix would be challenging. And here we had so much cold weather that my bean starts kept dying from hail, etc. Not warm enough for 1 ft tall tomato plants until almost June.
@@utguy381 I start with sterile coco choir and perlite mix of 75/25. Once true leaves are full I add very dilute root starter to the watering. Works wonders for me at least.
I'm still excited about my summer garden. Just getting my summer quash. Ran my personal size butternut and my beans on an arch this year. So cool. I've had a bumper crop of red potatoes. Dug up 161 taters yesterday. I love my fall and winter garden. Have my seeds all picked out. Also in warm climates you can grow early potatoes, too. Looking for companies where I can get the seed potatoes. So far the companies are sold out. Thank you for your great information. Happy gardening everyone 👍😁🌱
Me too. Can you buy organic potatoes at farmers market and grow those ince they sprout? I have two varieties planted as 1st time gardener. Idk if they will produce. There r green leaves on them tho. In zone 9b Orlando FL.
I too love fall gardening. Here in zone 9 it gets so hot around this time of year and rains almost daily. It makes it hard to get out and tend to the garden. The vine borers were invasive this year and wiped out my zucchini. I saved some earlier in the season with your BT injection idea but they got attacked again and didn’t make it this time. So I’m excited to plant some more and see what happens! Hopefully those vine borers won’t be an issue. They wiped out about 9 squash plants. 😔
I bought a Sweet 100 Cherry tomato starter plant the first week of July. Then I went to this local veggie farm, the third week of July, and got an heirloom Cherokee Purple tomato, and planted a thick slice of it in a starter pot of soil, I now have six strong seedlings that are growing by the minute. Oh, and I'm a fulltime mobile dweller and am growing those, and a few others, right in here with me. 😉🙌🏾🥳
Grasshoppers, tomato horn worms, heat, heat, heat! Yes I’m doing a fall garden,. I bought a boatload if seed and despite Mt seedling fails earlier, I’m giving it another try.
I live in southern California and my gosh I'm so tired of all the summer problems from heat to pests. I plan to start a fall garden so I'm very happy to see this video. Thank you for the encouragement and crop ideas.
@@elizabethelliott5478 I'm about 45 miles inland from the coast in S. California , zone 8b. Known as an upper desert area. The one thing that has the biggest impact for my garden has been to put up 30% shade cloth over my garden so that my plants are under that shaded area from 10am-5pm. My plants are less stressed and the fruit/veggies are in better shape. I start my peppers and tomato seeds mid February so they are ready to go outside end of March-early April. Thanks for the tips Brian. Happy gardening everyone!
I am now growing in containers my squash and zucchini and more, I've had so much trouble with the squash worms, I replanted now 4 times yellow and green squash, I have been using 5% seven dust, I order BT yesterday and I will be using BT in all my squash growing from here out. I am in the lower part of North Alabama and it is still much warmer so I will try my growing for fall. Next year I will start out with new containers and soil so my plants will have a better start. love your program.
Thanks for the pep talk! Bring on FALL! 🍁 Spider mites decimated my garden while on vacation. 100+ Temps in Zone 9a for weeks on end even with shade cloth have been very discouraging. Can’t give up! ❤️🩹
@Christy Wilkins. I'm in 9b and the spider mites decimated my tomatoes and green beans and I was home. They travel so quickly it's ridiculous. I got 0 large tomatoes and a few pathetic cherry tomatoes. Beautiful green beans turned to spider mites haven in days I m hoping the fall garden will be a little better. Happy Gardening 🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋
Zone 9b here. I've been secession planting all along. 2nd crop of potatoes are growing and i pulled clippings from sweet potatoes when I trimmed my current crop also propagated my favorite tomato plants.
This is my second year gardening and I feel all the pests found my garden, last year was not this bad. Even grasshoppers found it and I hadn’t seen a grasshopper in many years. I’m ready for the fall garden but our first frost date is early November 🤞🏼We get a little longer. 👍🏻
My summer garden is still going pretty strong, even with the heat and drought here in Texas. I have tomato starts planted already for my fall garden, second round of blackeyed peas and okra just about ready to start blooming, planted those after I harvested all of my sweet corn. Cant wait for full on fall gardening when it isnt so blasted hot.
I’m in zone 7 in NJ, and it’s been so hot and humid here that most everything is producing less than in years past. I got some shade cloth over some of my garden, and that stuff is doing better.
This past week I replanted zucchini and cucumbers. The cucumbers germinated in 3 days. This coming week i will be planting lettuce and replanting beets and carrots.
I'm lucky enough to live in San Diego (after decades in the Pacific Northwest and New England, so I've definitely paid my dues!), where we only have about 3 weeks of frost, if any. A few years ago I started year-round gardening, and it's been a blast. Things definitely slow down, but I've had great crops of greens, herbs, and root veggies. Thanks for your great channel!
Wow! Just look at your beautiful garden!! And after the difficult beginnings!!! If that is not a testament to the power of nature and the persistence on your part!!! You have a lot to be proud of there, with your first garden at your new homestead!! Way to go!! I have started new cucumber and spaghetti squash (crossing my fingers for the squash) and have plans to stick some zucchini in, too. I've had SUCH a hard time with the squash bugs so far. I figure they are already here and will LOVE the new "victims" 😂 !! I've also planted a third round of potatoes. Thank you for sharing your garden and all your wonderful advice!! Happy gardening!!
I've had success this year with my cucumber and yellow bush beans. My tomatoes plants are doing well so far but not ripe enough to pick in PA. I love your videos and the growing tips you provide us. Thank you !
@@debrakrause7570 Article I read said to pick them when they start turning orange, they do not need the plant to rippen from then on. Waiting until red leads to quickly over ripe, mushy tomatoes. Sometimes as soon as 1 to 2 days after picking.. Which we were experiencing. Worth a look.
This was my 1st year for this garden. I was so excited. I started seeds(for the 1st time) and was getting good results. I was set to harvest. Went out to pick and they were all gone. Someone came in and picked all they could reach. I planted on a trellis and I needed to use a ladder to finish picking the. The bug got my zucchini 🥵 I replanted but not 1 came up. And again and nothing! I have always had a great garden in Indiana, but still learning Texas. 🤷🏻♀️
Compost tea revitalized my tired and nonproductive plants. I highly recommend it. I finally have everything fruiting after weeks to months of just foliage.
Thank you for the encouragement, your enthusiasm is contagious! Summer has been dreadful here in Central Florida with high heat and one storm after another, impossible to garden outdoors! So I am looking forward to Fall gardening and Winter gardening.
Tomatoes: I'm in NE/Zone 6 and had a couple of really sad-looking cherry tomato plants (long story) in containers but found abundant new growth at the bottom so cut the spindly stems way back, sacrificing only a few small fruit and blossoms. Should be enough time to at least give them a chance and maybe have a second, better result. Nothing to lose, and who doesn't love a comeback story?! Appreciate the tips and enthusiasm here.
I planted more squash and zucchini a couple weeks ago. I planted more beans and cucumbers this week. Thanks for this! I'm going to plant dill. Maybe more tomatoes.
You’re enticing me to plant a fall garden. I get too busy with preserving the summer garden harvest, that I just don’t garden; but I always think I should. Thank you
I still watch your channel all the time, I'm in the tropics so everything I have to plan it by ear, rarely anything below 80°, hot and dry or hot and wet
I'm in Montana and our first frost date is Sept 1st (we have only 90 frost free days) but the good news is we usually have a good month of great weather after that first frost. We watch the weather like a hawk and can cover tender veggies if it's just a night or two of frost. I might try a zucchini in a grow bag now and see if I can get a few little ones for my friend who loves it with tomatoes. I can throw the bag into the greenhouse if it gets too cold. This is my first year with a greenhouse, grow bags, and a grow light seedling system (Though I've been gardening for 45 years). I'm having so much fun! I love your videos...I'm a SoCal girl born and raised, but married a Montanan, so here I am. It's definitely a challenge with our cold and dry winds...
Thank you for your content. It is so helpful. Can't wait for next weeks video. We are definitely doing our first fall garden this year. In fact its actually only ourb2nd year gardening at all and tour information has been vital
Started with an extra long cold spring, followed by a great extensive rain But..had a hail day that sent every plant to the beginning. The current heat pulled them through with new leaves and blossoms, sheer agony on how the plants will finish by the end of August. The pests especially the giant whopper grass hoppers...worrisome. Drying herbs, putting up raspberries and delighted about the kohlrabi. Planted cucumbers as suggest first week of July and this week are growing like they need to beat the eventual frost comming sometime soon in our northern state. Thanks for the new list. I am going to experiment and see what might slide to finish line of summers end. I have buckets, boxes, high raised beds, and normal ground level growing around here all avoiding an extreme deer hazard ( which I am just about to have under control). Thanks for the helpfull encouragement, lists and your great knowledge as we all cope with our particular environments.
That's awesome! Thanks Brian! I moved and didn't have a garden at all. Right now we are all sick so maybe in a couple of weeks will feel better and ready to plant.🤗❤🤗
I recently went to my local nursery and was puzzled by all the cool weather starts, but now understand thanks to you Brian. I have never done a fall garden so this may be my first year to do so. Thanks again!!!!
Thank you for your video! It's been a hot summer in SC, but thankfully, I've not had much problems with pests. But my plants have just not grown like they should have. My cucumbers have beautiful vines, full of flowers. But I never got one cucumber. I had to hand pollinate my squash. And my tomatoes just didn't do much of anything. I sure hope my fall/winter garden does better!!
Weary of summer gardening? YES! It’s too hot I don’t even want to be out there to tend. And I’ve lost plants. Thank goodness for drip! I’m ready to replant and get the best out of the rest of summer though. Our next frost date is Dec4!!!
I too prefer the fall garden. Summer in Louisiana gets too hot and my plants suffer even with consistent watering. I recently started cucumbers, squash and a second round of cherry tomatoes and a 2nd round of bush beans. Thank you for the tips.
Never weary, already planting for fall. I'm in the SE and fall gardening is the best. I also built myself a small greenhouse and I keep tomatoes and peppers (and other things) growing all year.
So past ready for Fall!!! Here in the South we are eat up with heat, lack of rain, humidity, stink bugs, Japanese beetles, yellow jackets, all kinds of wasps and a variety of other pests!
Had a great spring harvest (9b), but now I am so over the bugs. Had to pull all cucumber, zucchini & cantaloupe. Yes, I have companion plants, but the heat, humidity & bugs just destroyed the plants. Can't wait to do my fall garden & have some success again.
Good luck. I am a 1st time gardener in Orlando. Stunted growth due to heat and low nitrogen. Tmrw early am I am misting them w fertilizer. So much to learn and keep budget down.
Thanks for this, Brian! It's enough to motivate me -- drained of enthusiasm by back-to-back heat waves. These seem doable so I'm ready. AND I loved the montage at the end. Have seen you labor, struggle, and persevere through some real challenges and the place looks great...amazing even. Liked the lush, leisurely overview. Taking notes and looking forward....
I planted cucumbers earlier this season but the cucumbers tasted bitter and they would yellow very quickly. I would like to try again the name of the cucumbers are Boston pickling maybe I should try a different variety. Anyway I enjoyed seeing y'all's garden looks beautiful and yes tired of the heat in Texas we're in a drought. Thanks for sharing your garden and tips.
Winter gardening is wonderful and I have more success with it than my summer garden. I really liked the video tour of your garden with the guitar music!
I want to extend the growing season for as long as I can, so I've started my fall garden! Haven't had much success with beans this year for some reason, but I have gotten asparagus beans for first time and I really like them.
So tired of trying to keep my plants growing through the drought and very high temperatures of the AZ low desert. I love the fall and winter veggie garden. It is always successful for me!
Thank you. I feel like my green thumb never sprouted but you’re giving me hope. I’m blaming 100°+ temps but know others around here have wonderful gardens growing. Maybe fall gardening will give me that boost to finally have more than a small handful of produce to harvest. I look forward to seeing your next video.
@@NextLevelGardening Your garden looks AMAZING!! More like a miracle than anything else considered all your roadblocks this year! You've really done a great job!!
My second wave of tomatoes, summer squash, chiles, and eggplant are in, my second wave of sunflowers and calendula are sown, my napa and red cabbages are sprouting, daikons, beets, turnips, and bush beans planted.
Got the yellow squash, cukes, melons in and are thriving in this triple digit heat. Also got the winter squash planted and they are just popping up. Pumpkin tomorrow. Glad to know about the Dill. It is not available at the nurseries at this time of year so I'll start some. It is on my list of companion plants now thanks to your awesome book! Many thanks!
I live in a city in N. KY and my zucchini, yellow squash & tomatoes are a wash. Not because of weather or insects, but a doe! She discovered my backyard and has feasted on blooms & green tomatoes. I have some planters on my deck so I am going to try a couple of fall crops this year. Looking forward to next week! 🙂
I just saw some type of deer deter in a bottle, think I saw on Amazon or else was ace hardware or tractor supply, maybe try that, it was for a few others besides deer I think. Also may sound yucky to some but human urine can also deter some animals, I use to joke w my sons when little n we live in the country, to go pee by my garden haha, no idea if they ever did haha

Fall garden planned for this first-timer! After watching one of your videos I was inspired to get ready for fall 🙂
I've got broccoli and brussell sprouts growing under the lights right now.
This year has been terrible from the heat. I have barely had any tomatoes and my squash is minimal. 4 to be exact. 1 zucchini. The heat had just about burned my garden out. Thank you for the great information. Going to start again. Today was the first day we received rain since April. Love all your video. Thanks for giving me hope!!!
get grow bags for zuc n squash, I never had so many of both as this year because of squash bugs n you actually can do a crop now of each especially if you can find plants at a greenhouse, amish have them generally for fall if you have Amish by you.. or do container of each. Last year I did butternut by accident in a pot, never got the plant out a medium sz pot n had about 26 butternut n surprised it grew so much because of roots in a pot
I am planting fall garden this is my Second year planting I love fall garden ♥
For sure! Been prepping my beds and planted a summer cover crops (blk eyed peas), to chop and drop. Because here in SW FL , there not a ton that grows in this summer heat. Have seeds started to transplant. Hot composted all summer. Ammending and prepping. And I am ready for the fall garden for sure!!
Thanks for the Fall garden encouragement - loved the garden visuals and relaxing music at the end.
I've never done a fall garden and I can't wait for the video! I definitely want a fall garden this year
Plant cucumbers halfway thru summer? Who knew?!! I will plant it in a few days. Maybe that will help against the powdery mildew I get on my cucumbers halfway thru summer when it's hot and humid. Thanks for the tip!!
That is exactly what I said. Hmmm time to look for cucumber seeds.
I had planted armenian cucumbers earlier in the year. Male blooms galore, but no cucumbers...so a couple days ago I planted regular cucumber seed. 12 hills on a trellis. Today I found 3 armenian cucumbers ready to harvest. I may be sick of cucumbers before it's over. Lol
@@artofthefade No I haven't. But, I like having lots of cucumbers to make pickles and pickle relish with as well as eating them fresh.
Planting seeds for my fall garden this weekend. Putting the rest of my summer crops in the ground this weekend as well.
Great!
I loved the end of your video with all the flowers and pics of your garden growth with the music in the background. Nice touch!
OMG, Brian! I could watch an hour long video of your garden and that music. It’s stunning!
This year is my come back garden.done one many many years ago. But this yr I was determined to grow food again. I'm planning on a fall garden for sure. Justa few things qnd see how it goes.
Actually just started my tomato seeds today, inside where it's only 77F and well over 100 outside daily. Will plant out after turning the soil mid September. In Phoenix we must adapt and overcome. I've found this schedule to work very well.
That's great!
Yes. Phoenix would be challenging. And here we had so much cold weather that my bean starts kept dying from hail, etc. Not warm enough for 1 ft tall tomato plants until almost June.
what soil did you use for your tomato seeds?
@@utguy381 I start with sterile coco choir and perlite mix of 75/25. Once true leaves are full I add very dilute root starter to the watering. Works wonders for me at least.
Can’t wait for cooler weather!!🙌
I'm still excited about my summer garden. Just getting my summer quash. Ran my personal size butternut and my beans on an arch this year. So cool. I've had a bumper crop of red potatoes. Dug up 161 taters yesterday. I love my fall and winter garden. Have my seeds all picked out. Also in warm climates you can grow early potatoes, too. Looking for companies where I can get the seed potatoes. So far the companies are sold out. Thank you for your great information. Happy gardening everyone 👍😁🌱
Me too. Can you buy organic potatoes at farmers market and grow those ince they sprout? I have two varieties planted as 1st time gardener. Idk if they will produce. There r green leaves on them tho. In zone 9b Orlando FL.
I too love fall gardening. Here in zone 9 it gets so hot around this time of year and rains almost daily. It makes it hard to get out and tend to the garden. The vine borers were invasive this year and wiped out my zucchini. I saved some earlier in the season with your BT injection idea but they got attacked again and didn’t make it this time. So I’m excited to plant some more and see what happens! Hopefully those vine borers won’t be an issue. They wiped out about 9 squash plants. 😔
I bought a Sweet 100 Cherry tomato starter plant the first week of July. Then I went to this local veggie farm, the third week of July, and got an heirloom Cherokee Purple tomato, and planted a thick slice of it in a starter pot of soil, I now have six strong seedlings that are growing by the minute. Oh, and I'm a fulltime mobile dweller and am growing those, and a few others, right in here with me. 😉🙌🏾🥳
That's great!
Your garden looks amazing, in spite of all your troubles this year! You inspire!
Grasshoppers, tomato horn worms, heat, heat, heat! Yes I’m doing a fall garden,. I bought a boatload if seed and despite Mt seedling fails earlier, I’m giving it another try.
I live in southern California and my gosh I'm so tired of all the summer problems from heat to pests. I plan to start a fall garden so I'm very happy to see this video. Thank you for the encouragement and crop ideas.
I am in Southern California also. I am a beginner gardener so if you have any advice for growing in our area, I would love to hear it.
I'm new to gardening who's I had words of wisdom I could use some myself. Hope you have good luck
@@elizabethelliott5478 I'm about 45 miles inland from the coast in S. California , zone 8b. Known as an upper desert area. The one thing that has the biggest impact for my garden has been to put up 30% shade cloth over my garden so that my plants are under that shaded area from 10am-5pm. My plants are less stressed and the fruit/veggies are in better shape. I start my peppers and tomato seeds mid February so they are ready to go outside end of March-early April. Thanks for the tips Brian. Happy gardening everyone!
Thank you for the advice on shade cloth I think that's just what need.
I am now growing in containers my squash and zucchini and more, I've had so much trouble with the squash worms, I replanted now 4 times yellow and green squash, I have been using 5% seven dust, I order BT yesterday and I will be using BT in all my squash growing from here out. I am in the lower part of North Alabama and it is still much warmer so I will try my growing for fall. Next year I will start out with new containers and soil so my plants will have a better start. love your program.
Thanks for the pep talk! Bring on FALL! 🍁 Spider mites decimated my garden while on vacation. 100+ Temps in Zone 9a for weeks on end even with shade cloth have been very discouraging. Can’t give up! ❤️🩹
@Christy Wilkins. I'm in 9b and the spider mites decimated my tomatoes and green beans and I was home. They travel so quickly it's ridiculous. I got 0 large tomatoes and a few pathetic cherry tomatoes. Beautiful green beans turned to spider mites haven in days I m hoping the fall garden will be a little better. Happy Gardening 🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋
Zone 9b here. I've been secession planting all along. 2nd crop of potatoes are growing and i pulled clippings from sweet potatoes when I trimmed my current crop also propagated my favorite tomato plants.
Great!
I am thinking of a fall garden, but I am already going everything that you mentioned! Thanks Brian!
This is my second year gardening and I feel all the pests found my garden, last year was not this bad. Even grasshoppers found it and I hadn’t seen a grasshopper in many years. I’m ready for the fall garden but our first frost date is early November 🤞🏼We get a little longer. 👍🏻
I love your voice and mannerisms that go with all the great info. Thanks!
Thank you 😊
Just planted my second round of cucumbers! I have 65 ish days B4 my first frost! So yay, I hope they work.
Your garden looks beautiful Brian. Thumbs up❣️
oh my goodness, what a rich beautiful garden panorama at the end!
Thank you!
My summer garden is still going pretty strong, even with the heat and drought here in Texas. I have tomato starts planted already for my fall garden, second round of blackeyed peas and okra just about ready to start blooming, planted those after I harvested all of my sweet corn. Cant wait for full on fall gardening when it isnt so blasted hot.
Thanks for confirming my hopes for a fall crop of Bush beans and lemon squash - just planted 7/31.
This my first time gardening, Zone 9a. The start of spring was good but now nothing is growing. Its so hot here in Louisiana
I’m in zone 7 in NJ, and it’s been so hot and humid here that most everything is producing less than in years past. I got some shade cloth over some of my garden, and that stuff is doing better.
Thanks for the encouragement, Brian. I'm planting squash asap.
This past week I replanted zucchini and cucumbers. The cucumbers germinated in 3 days. This coming week i will be planting lettuce and replanting beets and carrots.
Awesome!
I'm lucky enough to live in San Diego (after decades in the Pacific Northwest and New England, so I've definitely paid my dues!), where we only have about 3 weeks of frost, if any. A few years ago I started year-round gardening, and it's been a blast. Things definitely slow down, but I've had great crops of greens, herbs, and root veggies. Thanks for your great channel!
Wow! Just look at your beautiful garden!! And after the difficult beginnings!!! If that is not a testament to the power of nature and the persistence on your part!!! You have a lot to be proud of there, with your first garden at your new homestead!! Way to go!!
I have started new cucumber and spaghetti squash (crossing my fingers for the squash) and have plans to stick some zucchini in, too. I've had SUCH a hard time with the squash bugs so far. I figure they are already here and will LOVE the new "victims" 😂 !! I've also planted a third round of potatoes. Thank you for sharing your garden and all your wonderful advice!! Happy gardening!!
Amazing homestead. Congratulations, Brian and family.
I've had success this year with my cucumber and yellow bush beans. My tomatoes plants are doing well so far but not ripe enough to pick in PA. I love your videos and the growing tips you provide us. Thank you !
We waited to long to pick our first tomatoes. Info on best time to pull them online. Makes a huge difference in quality.
@@Maribeth01 were they red? Because I like them red. Mine are green and just beginning to grow
@@debrakrause7570 Article I read said to pick them when they start turning orange, they do not need the plant to rippen from then on. Waiting until red leads to quickly over ripe, mushy tomatoes. Sometimes as soon as 1 to 2 days after picking.. Which we were experiencing. Worth a look.
This was my 1st year for this garden. I was so excited. I started seeds(for the 1st time) and was getting good results. I was set to harvest. Went out to pick and they were all gone. Someone came in and picked all they could reach. I planted on a trellis and I needed to use a ladder to finish picking the. The bug got my zucchini 🥵 I replanted but not 1 came up. And again and nothing! I have always had a great garden in Indiana, but still learning Texas. 🤷🏻♀️
I found fall gardening is also my favorite time of the year to grow down here in the deep south. The bugs leave town.....
I have been so discouraged by my gardening efforts this year. Thanks for the pep talk!
Thanks for the inspiration. This is the year I'm going to do the fall gardening.
I'm ready for fall gardening. It's been over 100° here in Louisiana for weeks !!
Compost tea revitalized my tired and nonproductive plants. I highly recommend it. I finally have everything fruiting after weeks to months of just foliage.
Thank you for the encouragement, your enthusiasm is contagious! Summer has been dreadful here in Central Florida with high heat and one storm after another, impossible to garden outdoors! So I am looking forward to Fall gardening and Winter gardening.
Florida was a great place to live, until this year LOL. I sympathize.
Tomatoes: I'm in NE/Zone 6 and had a couple of really sad-looking cherry tomato plants (long story) in containers but found abundant new growth at the bottom so cut the spindly stems way back, sacrificing only a few small fruit and blossoms. Should be enough time to at least give them a chance and maybe have a second, better result. Nothing to lose, and who doesn't love a comeback story?! Appreciate the tips and enthusiasm here.
Thanks! I had no idea I have over 100 days until my first estimate frost.
I planted more squash and zucchini a couple weeks ago. I planted more beans and cucumbers this week. Thanks for this! I'm going to plant dill. Maybe more tomatoes.
Yes i am researching with you now! I am in California, just got my vegepod
You’re enticing me to plant a fall garden. I get too busy with preserving the summer garden harvest, that I just don’t garden; but I always think I should. Thank you
Here in CT, I’ve already started cukes, pakchoy, kale, lettuce, broccoli, and cauliflower under lights, indoors. They’d bake outside right now.
I still watch your channel all the time, I'm in the tropics so everything I have to plan it by ear, rarely anything below 80°, hot and dry or hot and wet
I'm in Montana and our first frost date is Sept 1st (we have only 90 frost free days) but the good news is we usually have a good month of great weather after that first frost. We watch the weather like a hawk and can cover tender veggies if it's just a night or two of frost. I might try a zucchini in a grow bag now and see if I can get a few little ones for my friend who loves it with tomatoes. I can throw the bag into the greenhouse if it gets too cold. This is my first year with a greenhouse, grow bags, and a grow light seedling system (Though I've been gardening for 45 years). I'm having so much fun! I love your videos...I'm a SoCal girl born and raised, but married a Montanan, so here I am. It's definitely a challenge with our cold and dry winds...
Definitely planting a fall garden and very excited about it! ❤️
I had great success with broccoli Brussels sprouts and lettuces last fall throughout the spring (Houston)
Wow ! What is your secret?
I wish I knew! Not so much success as that first season I tried!
Thank you for your content. It is so helpful. Can't wait for next weeks video. We are definitely doing our first fall garden this year. In fact its actually only ourb2nd year gardening at all and tour information has been vital
Thank you!
Started with an extra long cold spring, followed by a great extensive rain But..had a hail day that sent every plant to the beginning. The current heat pulled them through with new leaves and blossoms, sheer agony on how the plants will finish by the end of August. The pests especially the giant whopper grass hoppers...worrisome. Drying herbs, putting up raspberries and delighted about the kohlrabi. Planted cucumbers as suggest first week of July and this week are growing like they need to beat the eventual frost comming sometime soon in our northern state. Thanks for the new list. I am going to experiment and see what might slide to finish line of summers end. I have buckets, boxes, high raised beds, and normal ground level growing around here all avoiding an extreme deer hazard ( which I am just about to have under control). Thanks for the helpfull encouragement, lists and your great knowledge as we all cope with our particular environments.
That's awesome! Thanks Brian! I moved and didn't have a garden at all. Right now we are all sick so maybe in a couple of weeks will feel better and ready to plant.🤗❤🤗
Ugh thanks for the pep talk! I am discouraged and this gives me a boost! 👍🏼
So glad u did this, I was just thinking about this. First time gardening this year. My summer crop was amazing
Love your show. Peoria
, Az. Fall is our best garden time.
Thank you!
I recently went to my local nursery and was puzzled by all the cool weather starts, but now understand thanks to you Brian. I have never done a fall garden so this may be my first year to do so. Thanks again!!!!
Thank you for your video! It's been a hot summer in SC, but thankfully, I've not had much problems with pests. But my plants have just not grown like they should have. My cucumbers have beautiful vines, full of flowers. But I never got one cucumber. I had to hand pollinate my squash. And my tomatoes just didn't do much of anything. I sure hope my fall/winter garden does better!!
Weary of summer gardening? YES! It’s too hot I don’t even want to be out there to tend. And I’ve lost plants. Thank goodness for drip! I’m ready to replant and get the best out of the rest of summer though. Our next frost date is Dec4!!!
Glad to see you're pushing through and positive despite the critter issues.👍😁
Thanks, I have a mostly empty bed and this gave me a few ideas of what to try.
I too prefer the fall garden. Summer in Louisiana gets too hot and my plants suffer even with consistent watering. I recently started cucumbers, squash and a second round of cherry tomatoes and a 2nd round of bush beans. Thank you for the tips.
Never weary, already planting for fall. I'm in the SE and fall gardening is the best. I also built myself a small greenhouse and I keep tomatoes and peppers (and other things) growing all year.
Definitely feeling defeated by cali heat baking my summer crops.. im glad you said these fall crops will be easier to tend! Now im excited again lol
So past ready for Fall!!! Here in the South we are eat up with heat, lack of rain, humidity, stink bugs, Japanese beetles, yellow jackets, all kinds of wasps and a variety of other pests!
Had a great spring harvest (9b), but now I am so over the bugs. Had to pull all cucumber, zucchini & cantaloupe. Yes, I have companion plants, but the heat, humidity & bugs just destroyed the plants. Can't wait to do my fall garden & have some success again.
Good luck. I am a 1st time gardener in Orlando. Stunted growth due to heat and low nitrogen. Tmrw early am I am misting them w fertilizer. So much to learn and keep budget down.
Thanks for this, Brian! It's enough to motivate me -- drained of enthusiasm by back-to-back heat waves. These seem doable so I'm ready. AND I loved the montage at the end. Have seen you labor, struggle, and persevere through some real challenges and the place looks great...amazing even. Liked the lush, leisurely overview. Taking notes and looking forward....
I planted cucumbers earlier this season but the cucumbers tasted bitter and they would yellow very quickly. I would like to try again the name of the cucumbers are Boston pickling maybe I should try a different variety. Anyway I enjoyed seeing y'all's garden looks beautiful and yes tired of the heat in Texas we're in a drought. Thanks for sharing your garden and tips.
I would love to see you do an entire garden tour. Discuss varieties, why you grow it, etc.
Winter gardening is wonderful and I have more success with it than my summer garden. I really liked the video tour of your garden with the guitar music!
Getting my fall garden ready first time here!
Great!
I want to extend the growing season for as long as I can, so I've started my fall garden! Haven't had much success with beans this year for some reason, but I have gotten asparagus beans for first time and I really like them.
So tired of trying to keep my plants growing through the drought and very high temperatures of the AZ low desert. I love the fall and winter veggie garden. It is always successful for me!
Thank you. I feel like my green thumb never sprouted but you’re giving me hope. I’m blaming 100°+ temps but know others around here have wonderful gardens growing. Maybe fall gardening will give me that boost to finally have more than a small handful of produce to harvest. I look forward to seeing your next video.
Very good Brian! I’m going to plant beans for sure💚
Garden looks great Brian!
Yes planning on Fall gardening in Alabama!
I'm SOOOOO looking forward to the Fall Garden!!!
It can't get here soon enough!!!
I know!
@@NextLevelGardening
Your garden looks AMAZING!!
More like a miracle than anything else considered all your roadblocks this year!
You've really done a great job!!
My second wave of tomatoes, summer squash, chiles, and eggplant are in, my second wave of sunflowers and calendula are sown, my napa and red cabbages are sprouting, daikons, beets, turnips, and bush beans planted.
Got the yellow squash, cukes, melons in and are thriving in this triple digit heat. Also got the winter squash planted and they are just popping up. Pumpkin tomorrow. Glad to know about the Dill. It is not available at the nurseries at this time of year so I'll start some. It is on my list of companion plants now thanks to your awesome book! Many thanks!
I live in a city in N. KY and my zucchini, yellow squash & tomatoes are a wash. Not because of weather or insects, but a doe! She discovered my backyard and has feasted on blooms & green tomatoes. I have some planters on my deck so I am going to try a couple of fall crops this year. Looking forward to next week! 🙂
I just saw some type of deer deter in a bottle, think I saw on Amazon or else was ace hardware or tractor supply, maybe try that, it was for a few others besides deer I think. Also may sound yucky to some but human urine can also deter some animals, I use to joke w my sons when little n we live in the country, to go pee by my garden haha, no idea if they ever did haha
