Travis, wonderful how your channel is growing, upto 9000 subscribers within a couple of months! Great job, but I expect it will be over 10 times that number before the summer is over. Your videos are superb, and you are so knowledgeable! It is so wonderful to be able to listen to you, and reap the benefit of your knowledge. Thank you for sharing it with us.
Thanks Chris! We've been very blessed with how fast it's growing.
@@LazyDogFarm I wondered what happened to you on the Hoss Tools channel awhile ago, and low and behold RUclips recommended your channel! Glad I found it and that it's growing quickly!
@@adryawebb2556 Glad you found us too! Welcome!
Thanks, Travis. I always learn from your videos. Sometimes I just need a voice of reason, when I’m over thinking the garden. Thanks for sharing your vast knowledge!
Thanks Lynn! I enjoy helping when I can.
So, what do ya say, we spend a little time in the garden? Alright, alright, alright!!!
Alright, alright, alright!
I live in Arkansas and last year I grew tomatoes until December. I just planted some suckers today to see what happens. Got my green beans planted today.
Wow! Tomatoes until December is a definite treat!
You win some, you lose some, some you get rained out. LOL!
That's right! We've been getting rained out a lot lately.
On LA gulf coast we grow potted indeterminate tomatoes to eat fresh on sandwiches and salads. We bring them in for the rare freeze fronts.
That’s a good idea! 👍
Florida 9b - Central Florida. First frost is around mid-December. Put seeds in the ground and seed starting trays now for squash and pumpkins. Let’s see how it goes. Really enjoy your videos.
8a near Macon we put in satsuma tangerines and they are doing fantastic, no frost burn. We tried meyer lemons but they almost died to the roots from frost but recovered nicely. I plan to make a tent to fit over them and install a dusk to dawn light bulb to keep it above freezing in there. Squash in the ground, even on a small hill got killed off from too much rain. We have too much red clay here. I don't have a lot of money to put in amendments on a large scale. From now on, squash will be done above ground in those planter bags, cardboard and grass clippings surrounding them for the weeds. I planted yard long Thai string beans, they love heat and can take lots of rain and humidity, even in clay soil. They really are a yard long! The vines grow long also, plan for 12 feet or more! There is a red variety of bean that is easy to find. Baker seeds out of Missouri has them and a few others like that trombocino squash and other unusual stuff besides the regular things. Prices are lower than some large seed companies. I tried tomatillos again, and the fruit is too small to bother with. I have no idea what to do, Tomatoes did well and are still at it. I dug holes in the red clay and put some weeds at the bottom to rot, then left over potting soil from last year got mixed with the red clay, and then about half a cup mixed in 10-10-10 pelletized fertilizer. I covered the ground around them with cardboard and grass clippings. No weeds even with nut sedge and bahia grass with bramuda grass as well, they are coming in but not at the vine yet. Our pimocane raspberries did real well. We added fertilizer and the rain brought in the expected canes to bear another crop this fall. The canes are straight up, no supports, and more than 6 feet high! We ought to have a humungus crop of raspberries this fall. Peaches, apples, are bearing nicely though they trees are young. I used a technique started in Grover Beach, CA for them. Put aside top soil 4 feet in diameter, then dig the hole. Put a layer of twigs and grass at the bottom, 4 inches, then the rest top soil to fill in the hole and plant the tree. Works great every time! One guy had a 4 inch PVC pipe put in next to the tree and used it to pour water in to water the trees, which forces roots to go down, then later he pulls the pipe out. I will give that a try next! Blessings to y'all, keep your fertilizer dry, and keep looking up, our redemption is near!
I'd like to try some raspberries at some point. Love to eat them.
8b here also and tried fall tomatoes and cucumbers for the first time last year. I planted them in 5 gallon buckets just in case I needed to move them inside the garage because of an early freeze. Worked great. This year I'm planting even more tomatoes and some in the garden too. Going to start some much earlier just to see what happens. Nothing like fresh homegrown tomatoes and if I can get a few more weeks of them each year, I'm going for it.
For sure!
Absolutely...were.so fortunate to have a long season to take advantage of....now bugs....that's a whole other storyline!
What state are u from
Interesting tidbit, I had some tomato starts left over that I had no where to plant and no one wanted, I started seeds for 23 varieties this year (I know overkill!!), so I tossed them in the compost pile to hopefully become some good soil for next year. Well, it looks like I may be harvesting my fall tomatoes from the compost bin. Several of them have taken root and look great! No blooms yet, but I am watching them and hoping for the best! If I get nothing, I really haven't lost anything!!
That's awesome! They probably won't need any fertilizer growing in the compost pile!
I love to plant sunflowers, bush beans, and start kale seedlings indoors.
I need to get some sunflowers planted soon. Thanks for the reminder!
My 2.0 collards are coming back from last year. Not from seeds but the roots I left in a pot
That's awesome!
We always grow fall tomatoes here in zone 9a have since i was a kid my dad was a tomato freak 😂
Sounds like he knew what he was doing!
Those Canary melons are really good, they taste like a sweet pear if they are good and ripe...
Yea they are. We really enjoyed them last year.
Could do a pallet garden with containers maybe plant a few future varieties you would like to plant to test them
Usually we do all our testing in the in-ground garden. No plans currently to add any additional raised beds except for the few fire rings we have by the barn. Our growing system(s) isn't really setup for raised beds.
Nice if it ain’t broke don’t touch it love the knowledge stay safe
Zone 8a here I have cucumber, canlope plants right now hope I get a good amount of canlope before my first frost on around Oct 25th to Oct 30th. I am going to plant Dino kale, red Russian kale, scarlet kale, Champion Collards, Red Giant Mustard, Tatsoi Mustard, Bloomsdale Long Standing Spinach, Purple Vienna Kohlrabi, radishes, purple top turnips, Pak Choi,carrots, lettuce so hopefully I do well this fall.
Sounds like you're ready for fall!
Late fall plantings for over winter harvests will include bok choi, winter lettuces, minzua red streaks, mustards,winter spinach, and they'll be directly seeded, and row covers on by 1st killing frosts. Gardening only slows down some, remember your harvest dates will be 14 days+/- later than listed on seed pkt, the summer solastice has past, when soil temps cool that will slow some veggies way down..carrots are planted now for later fall/winter harvests.
Definitely quite a few factors to consider when it comes to fall crop maturity dates.
Interesting that you say things will grow faster for a fall crop than a spring-summer crop.
Here in my part of Southern Ontario (6b), the weather turns really fast in the spring, early May is generally frost-free but quite cold, and then if late May isn't summer like, June definitely will be. So if we plant our warm weather crops in mid-May they might have a few cool days during the first few weeks but then once they're established and starting to set fruit it should be nice and warm. They'll probably be a bit slow going during the indoor seedling stage and hardening off period though. My melons were struggling this spring in the greenhouse with temperatures inside there being in the high 40s to low 50s most of the time.
For the late fall crops, the seedlings should germinate and get going really quick, but might slow down as the plants are maturing because although our Octobers are almost always frost free, they'll still be pretty cool. But also, the fall crop will start with a day length of 15 hours but end with only about 10-11 hours, while the spring crop will be experiencing around day lengths of 15 hours pretty much the whole time.
I did plant several warm season crops "late" (over here, that means late June to late July) though, so we'll see how long they take.
Didn't think about the drastic day length changes up your way. That would definitely have an effect.
Im debating doing another round of corn..white corn..i LOVE WHITE CORN...
I planted Perpetual Spinach, cabbages- verona, savoy king, &kalbos, kale-dwarf curly, Roadster Tomatoes, Basils 3 varieties, collards, brussel sprouts(started much earlier), replanted summer squashes, late planted purple sweet potatoes,& snap dragon flowers.
Sounds like a full garden! We're planning on growing some snapdragons this fall as well.
I was a lucky first year fall gardener last year w tomatoes and peppers. I'm risking it again this year cause it's so dang fun! Transplants are all well in process now. None ripened on vine last year but they were all huge and gorgeous, so I picked em and ripened em w banana in brown lunch sacks then canned em for tomato sauce. Pickled loads of peppers and can only hope to be so lucky this year! I'm 8b Texas. Just fun to try!
Sounds like you’ve got the fall green thumb. Hope you’re equally as successful this fall!
Put up 38 jars of WORLD FAMOUS dill pickles today. Three more runs like that n should be done. Gonna try to fill up a ten gallon crock with cabbage tomorrow to make kraut. Can’t wait for maters ! I’d post pics if I could but this won’t let me
A 10 gallon crock?! That’s a big one!
I LOVE THAT WE CAN RE-PLANT WARM SEASON VEGETABLES IN THE FALL ESPECIALLY SINCE I WAS RECOVERING FROM BACK SURGERY IN AUGUST LAST YEAR. I PLANTED SOME THINGS WITH HELP FROM MY HUBBY. I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO GETTING SOME GOOD FRESH ORGANIC GROCERIES FROM MY BACK YARD. I HAVE MINI BELL PEPPERS GROWING FROM LAST YEAR STILL AND THEY ARE STILL PRODUCING HERE IN ZONE 9B IN CENTRAL FLORIDA.
Sounds like fall is gonna be a great second chance for you!
I just planted some watermelons, gonna try it. Last year we barely got much of a frost all winter. Definitely didn't have much freeze. Getting my soil ready, got my seeds, got my wheel hoe, cant wait! Lol
Go for it! Let us know if it’s successful.
My garden did okay tomatoes squash didn't do all that Good cause all the rain down in Bama but others did really well
Our first round of squash did really well, but the second round had an earlier than normal demise due to all the rain recently.
THANK YOU TRAVIS! THAT'S WHAT I NEEDED TO KNOW BROTHER. GOD BLESS YOU TRAVIS & FAMILY IN JESUS NAME.
Thanks for watching Melinda!
Alright, alright, allllright ! Another timely video with great information for late summer/ fall planting. Just what I needed. Like some others my Spring planting got washed out with heavy rains so, it's time to plant peas and pole beans here in lower Alabama. Thanks Travis!!! May God bless.
Thanks Herb. We went from ridiculously dry to soaking wet. Rain, rain, rain here.
Travis, last year I planted yellow doll watermelons as a pollinator to a seedless variety (chubbiness).
The disease pressure was so severe that I didn't think any watermelons would be harvested. Fortunately, the plants that survived produced a good harvest of very sweet melons (generally drier here in mid-MO zone 6A in October and that's what you need for a sweet melon).
Thanks for sharing your experiences Jim.
Always impressed with your variety knowledge. Take it easy and heal up.
Thanks Stephen! That's why we like growing so many different varieties -- so we can share our experiences!
Thank you Travis! Great video ❤🌄🇺🇸🌻🌽
Thanks Kelly!
Here up north zone 5b I'll be harvesting garlic this weekend. I'll plant carrots and beets in place of garlic. 😊
We have to wait until October for carrots and beets, but those are some of our favorite crops to grow!
Thank you. I learn so much from your videos. Continued prayers for you.
Thanks Rhonda!
Thanks for the lowdown Travis I'm putting sweet potato slips everywhere cut off my first plantings here in Florida and I'm glad you reminded me to start my determinate tomatoes for the fall :)
Thanks for watching Sonder!
Travis, all these are good suggestions but you left out all my usual.
Cabbage,kale, lettuce and my all time have to have in the fall TURNIPS!!!!
We'll be covering all those when we talk about cool-season fall crops. Lots of great options there!
@@LazyDogFarm about the middle of Aug. is when I plant my fall stuff. Sometimes I plant carrots and we eat them in Dec. n Jan. How’s the back coming? I had to go 12 weeks when I broke mine!
@@happyhillbilly3466 halfway through the 8 week brace period. We have a checkup in a week or two and hopefully we'll know more then.
@@LazyDogFarm hope it goes good for ya. Been life changing for me☹️
In listening to the video, it sounds like a good idea for me in 7b to finish out my summer garden and then get my beds and soil ready for cool season crops. Right now I’m still picking okra, tomatoes, and green beans. I plan to try some hoop houses and/or cold frames this year. Looking forward to future videos to get help with what to plant.
That's probably a good plan for you!
I am in zone 7B and my summer garden will easily go into September.
One way to do tomatoes is to use your current tomato suckers to get a head start. Also planting early hybrid varieties speeds things up nicely.
Good ideas!
Great idea Winsome. Rooting compound off Amazon. I'd love an "Indian Summer" flush of Roadster or Red Snappers.
@@markware7748 me too!
I'm in North GA and can totally plant a 2nd wave of tomatoes in late July. I would say there are certainly varieties that handle the August heat better than others like Heatwave, but I had success with the same varieties I planted in spring, though I planted them where they would have afternoon shade, and I think that totally made it work. If you have no afternoon shade, you could drape them with a shade cloth that allows some light but minimizes the intensity. I'd actually make a tent over them... enough to block the sun but not enough to block pollinators. I have a friend in FL that has to do this in the spring just because the temps are like 80+ almost year round. They hit 90 for the first time in mid March vs June where I live 600 miles north of her.
Good tip about the afternoon shade!
i'm learning to keep planting crops. sometimes disaster strikes or you can get more than one crop in in warm months. good to have some seedlings ready. long maturity crops wont make a second crop or if you hardly fertilize. otherwise keep planting as space and conditions allow.
last summer some cucumbers got sick and zucchini, after some good cropping. Ripped them out and planted new ones and got some crops off them, even though we had a dismally cool autumn.
Always good to have a backup plan and be ready to plant another round if the first one doesn't perform well.
Getting ready to put in my Roma tomato transplants in two weeks in zone 7b as my first round of Romas are about played out. Last year I did a fall garden of tomatoes that I put in at the end of July and got a decent harvest off of them.
Yeah I think getting them in the ground by the end of July is key for most folks.
Last time I was at our local nursery, they had a lot of tomato plants...some pretty tall. Since I had such a disaster early summer for tomatoes, maybe I'll pick up a few determinate ones and try for fall tomatoes. Thanks for the idea.
That is a good idea!
We have farms up here that succession plant tomatoes from. Spring strait thru til 1st frost. I was at a field couple days ago and they had there producing tomatoes but there was also acres of tomato plants about a foot tall... They just keep cycling them. Here in East Tennessee / Smoky Mtn Foothills.
I could see where that would work up there. Thanks for sharing.
Tennessee grows a superb tomato 🍅
@@lolodee3528 Grainger Co. Vine ripe!!! Yesseree🙂
It's risky, I set orange and yellow jubilee tomatoes at the end of June. I'm in zone 6. I also have straight eight cucumbers and sugar snap peas about 3 inches tall. It'll be worth it if we have a warm fall season. I guess I'm one of the I just have to plant something type, lol. Never tried fall corn, may give it a go. Thanks.
Never know until you try!
Travis have you ever thought about writing a book? I'm not one to buy gardening books but I'd buy one of yours. 👍
Good evening Poorboy 🌅I'd buy one too❤
Travis is a book of knowledge, I know it would be an awesome book.
I have for a fleeting second. But then I think, maybe I'll just keep making videos. lol
I’m zone 7a thank you for this it’s very helpful I appreciate it and shared on my Facebook have a great night
Thanks for sharing Sheena!
Well there goes my fall tomatoe planting I don’t want to chance it👍🏻👍🏻
Don't let me stop you. Just wanted you to be prepared.
If you don't try you will fail!! Start a few transplants and see what happens, you might be pleasantly surprised! I aggressively prune my tomatoes, I am in Zone 7 in the Blue Ridge Mts in VA and we did not have a frost until Nov of last year and I had tomatoes until Nov from the vines I planted in the Spring. You never know what will happen if you don't try!
Here in Southern N.H. we had enough rain to bring us out of moderate drought. The rain at times was so heavy my squash leaves were beaten down by rain, and soil was splattered up under the leaves at the same time. This weighted down the plants badly, that I needed to lightly spray wash (water) each plant so they would upright themselves. As you can imagine production has been stunted .Six days ago I started in cow pots : Emerald Crown Broccoli , Clemson Okra, Sunburst summer squash and Zucchini now in the cold frame. Thanks for the video Travis and all the best. (ps..forecast Saturday to next Wednesday showers to down pours !!!)_
We have are definitely "caught up" on the rain. Standing water here in several places.
Good morning Travis great tips.
Summer squash, zucchini would be a good addition to plant for fall.
About Tomatoes.
We can clone our existing plants useing suckers and age won't be an issue. Keep blooms picked off untill the plants have a good root system.
Also don't use a trellis so you can use a row cover for frost protection.
John S.
Sounds like a good plan to keep your existing plant stock going.
Well we had so much rain here so I'm going to give a fall garden a try 👍
Second chance!
High Tunnel here. So many of those things are going to go in there. The normal fall stuff will go outside.
High tunnels are great!
Do some grain corn videos
Not a bad idea.
Btw, I see those hats! ..... I'm buying when they're ready!
Might be giving one or two away on the next video. Stay tuned ...
Travis. Update on the cover crops. Army worms have wiped out my sudan but haven’t touched my soybeans.
Really? I've never heard of army worms on sudangrass. That's interesting.
@@LazyDogFarm Believe it. They have wiped out my yard as well. All the hay farmers are having a conniption. Millions of dollars being spent on pesticides right now. Happens every 3 or 4 years. But the darn things won’t eat the weeds.
Thanks Travis. You have so much knowledge ,thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching Candace!
Just what was on my mind. I cut sweet potato draws a month ago started roots in water and they are now in soil cups ready to go in. They move really fast once in the ground that way. Trying some Bella Rosa suckers that way too. If it comes up short must be a use for lots of green tomatoes.
Let us know how those Bella Rosa suckers do for you. That sounds like a good plan for a quick turnaround on tomatoes.
Here in Ariz I already have seedlings of tomatoes both types I'm planting corn and squash summer and winter
pumpkins and Zucchini when all my bell peppers are done I'll over winter a few of them. Most of the time the only thing that really gets hit by insect is the corn
That's great that you don't have that much insect pressure on the squash and tomatoes. Those are two of our worst crops for insect damage.
Travis , Thank you for the info. Planning on planting as much as I can.
Go for it Imma!
Early girl tomato one of the earliest producing tomatoes.
I guess the name says it all!
Great video Travis. I learn a lot from your videos. Take it easy and heal up. I plan to try a fall corn plot, just have to find the time before it's too late.
Best of luck with your fall corn Jon!
I live in zone 5 might be B maybe be A...not sure. Im almost in VT. ANYWAY, we have had so much rain that I'm fighting with my garden to get any type of produce and I totally need that produce I've invested so much this spring to redo the whole entire Garden including electric fence to keep the critters out. I know I can't grow more summer squash zucchini stuff like that kale, collards things like the brassicas there is not enough time for me to get watermelon or cantaloupe and that stinks because I'm not getting the yield that I'm I need desperately
Sorry to hear that Robin. I know the overwhelming amount of rain has made it tough for a lot of folks lately.
Great information!! ✌
Thanks Mark!
Just planted okra and another try at cukes. As for peppers, I dug them up to get them out of the saturated ground and into pots. They should be much happier now. They also overwinter great in a green house. Thanks for the suggestions. I'm just gonna leave the pole beans that did grow and see what happens.
Those pole beans might get going again when it cools a bit.
I have my seed packets set out for tomorrow morning - second round of beans and summer squash. Also more cilantro to keep up with the tomatoes! Zone 9b
Does the cilantro not quickly bolt down there during the summer? We usually have to wait until fall to plant cilantro.
@@LazyDogFarm It sure does! So I plant Slo-Bolt Cilantro, in a protected spot, keep it trimmed, use it up, and just keep planting more. Some varieties of basil struggle a bit as well, but gotta have both to go with the tomatoes!
@@gaylekerr9826 I actually just bought some seeds of that variety. Considering the info you've provided, I may be able to plant them sooner than I thought.
I have a small greenhouse Im starting some tomatoes this week
I’m working on getting a greenhouse so we can grow our own fall transplants.
Another great video Travis. Ol’ poor boy is over there smack talking about growing bigger tomatoes than you. You best be growing one so big you’ll need a wheelbarrow to haul it out to beat him!
Haha, have a great weekend.
Rob
Haha! Gonna be fun to see what happens next year!
I'm about to experiment with Fall potatoes, Travis. I have some that I haven't canned that are starting to get just a little soft. I'm Thinking about just planting the whole potato instead of cutting eyes this time of year. My plant date from Clemson is from July 15th to the end of the month. What do you think? It sure would be nice to dig some tater's in the cool in November.
I say go for it. I'd go ahead and plant the whole potato too.
Hi Travis! Once again, great information, keep it coming!!! I'm just outside of Houston, Tx. I've just planted my second planting of cucumbers, and I am fostering a couple of volunteer tomato plants from Juliet's I had growing last year (waiting to see what the tomatoes will be like). I'm thinking I may sow some more okra, since the squirrels are eating my other ones before I'm ready to pick them.
Thanks Kat! Hope you have a productive fall garden.
travis great info to share. but i will have to call you out for the second time you called it OKRA not OKRIE.lol i planted OKRIE up here on cape cod and it's getting big first time for me.stay safe.
JOHN
Yep. I'll try to do better next time. lol
I planted the glass gem this year, Travis. It's just getting ready (zone 6b) to harvest! Made a bone head mistake tho. I planted it a month before my triplesweet so it wouldn't cross poll, but what do you know?? Takes a month longer to mature! Sooooo..it's a crop surprise this year! Prob getting sweet gem corn, might be a winner!
That might be pretty neat!
Out of my league. First frost around September 15 at 6500' so it's one and done around here. Cool season brassicas in the hoop house after tomatoes and strowing a legume heavy cover crop for the main garden. Your videos are a special treat to watch. If you want to try your hand at marketing ag products online, I'd probably buy whatever you're selling.
“strowing” - I see what you did there. Catching on!
I wanted to tell you about my experiment on tomatoes. Dwarf tomatoes have a shorter maturity date. So when i planted my tomatoe starts i planted some dwarf variety seeds at the same time but out in the beds . They are doing great so far.
i have some dwarf and micro dwarf tomatoes planted also. i am leaning towards growing these tomato types for now on. just easier than even traditional determinant tomatoes.
@@jamiehinton2349 im thinking of planting some in buckets now then before frost bringing them indoors. I hate store bought
Sounds like a winner!
Thanks for all of the great information. I'm taking a break recovering from our spring planting and harvest. We've got peppers growing and doing well. The garden looks so bare now though. I'm sure that I'll end up planting for fall.
Now is a good time for a break. Might want to put a cover crop on that bare soil until you're ready for fall.
Lazy Dog Farm Do you have a recommendation on a low maintenance cover crop that won't go to seed? Thank you.
@@mariebarnes416 Sorghum Sudangrass is a great one. It's easy to mow and is slow to go to seed even in the summer heat.
Lazy Dog Farm Thank you so much for your suggestion. I've really been enjoying your videos.
Thank you Travis Good to know. I'm in 9 and it's very hot here. So my okra & tomato, melon should be fine? Thanks again Air hugs from California.
Okra will definitely be fine. Tomato and melon sometimes don't care for extreme heat.
@@LazyDogFarm Ok thank you. I hope you and your family have blessed day!
More great content Travis, thanks! I’m just south of you in Jax so I appreciate all the suggestions as to what’s happening next in my garden. Maybe a couple determinate tomatoes for slicing. A succession planting of pinkeyes and definitely okra. Got lots of peppers I’m hoping will last thru til the end. Could you suggest what type of fertilizer I could give them a boost with right now? Got plenty of 20-20-20 on hand if that works and have the stuff for BER if you think it needs it though I’ve had no issues, mostly sun scald on the Anaheims.
Definitely interested in seeing you plant Glass Gem! Such interesting stuff! No more corn for me. I got hit early when my corn was tassling with worms. Looked like the corn got hit with rat shot. Wasted precious time spraying with bt when I think I should have been using Spinacad so corn was a bit ‘toothless’ . But I didn’t get skunked! and I definitely learned alot!
My best to you Brooklyn and the boys!
Thanks Doris. The 20-20-20 should give the peppers a nice shot if they're struggling.
I'm glad I found your new channel, you always have really great videos and advice! I'm in 7a, almost 7b, and putting okra and beans back in between raindrops. I know you said probably not to sweet potatoes, but what about a Yukon gold or another determinate variety? Thank you!
I've seen lots of folks do fall potatoes successfully. So I'd say go for it!
@@LazyDogFarm perfect, thank you! I'll be gutsy and give it a try!
my frost date is oct 23 thr
About a month earlier than us.
Planted ambrosia in high tunnel pack says 6-7ft tall mine is10ft
Yeah those high-tunnels can make things grow crazy.
Beans and squash planted this week in North Arkansas. Btw now that you're no longer selling seeds, how about doing a show on which hybrids are worth the cost vs just using op farm store seeds? Only hybrids I ever planted was tomatoes, cucumbers and summer squash.
Great video idea!
So weird! I am five b but we all catch up Stuff I planted us at the same growth yours is but my season is a lot shorter than yours
Yeah once that heat gets cranking, this accelerate quickly.
Good informative video.....Larry @ Scoot's Organic
Thanks Larry!
Speaking of pumpkins, what did you guys do with your pumpkins? Thinking about growing some for fall but not sure what to do with them other than pies. Which is really good... 😂
They’re sitting underneath the barn. Haven’t cooked any yet, but probably will soon.
What is the best spray for watermelon bugs?
I'd have to know more specifically what you mean by "watermelon bugs." Is it a worm or a biting/sucking insect?
Can you plant seed with cukes and cantaloupe . Maybe even tomatoes .
You can certainly direct seed cukes and melons. Tomatoes usually do best when grown from transplants.
Can i spray Spinosad on my bush beans and squash?
Yes you can!
Hi, Great video, Travis have you ever planted Potatoes in the fall ? I did one time, and they made but less than my spring crop.
I have, but with terrible luck. Each time I’ve tried, it’s rained a ton and my seed potatoes rotted.
Yeah I was going to give it another go with potatoes, but we have gotten more rain than usual for a summer, I'm afraid the fall will keep the rain coming and it would just be too wet. Just going to concentrate on soil strengthening and weed seed bank volume.
Travis, I live in Zone 8A, when do I plant onion seeds for fall planting. 162 or 338 trays? Thanks Don.
I'd try to get them started in mid September. I like 338s for onions and leeks just because you can grow more in the same footprint. Onion transplants don't need a ton of room.
Oh and also, when would I plant Brussel sprouts? I’m in Arkansas. And should I direct sow or start some seeds for later planting?
I like to grow transplants for Brussels sprouts and then put those in the ground around October. Probably late September for you. Start the transplants about 5 weeks or so before the intended in-ground date.
@@LazyDogFarm thanks!!
👍👍
👍👍👍
Didn't you and your dad try to plant some late summer potatoes for fall harvest last year?
I don't know if he tried it, but I've tried several times without good luck.
@@LazyDogFarm , that's good to know because I was thinking about attempting it, but now I think I'll steer clear of it.
Go big or sit on the porch. 😁😁
That's right!
Have a ? I bought Kentucky wonder pole beans from you. I live in 5b, they germinated well. I thought they were gonna grow very tall and I would need a cattle panel for trellis. They never really grew very tall, started vining gd. I do have beans growing on them and picking here now there. We're they supposed to get approx 5-6 ft High? Nancy from Nebraska love your channel.
Usually pole beans (regardless of variety) will climb as tall as the structure you provide.
@@LazyDogFarm they did not do that, don't know why. We have had a wet summer, they flowered, producing beans, not very many though, only grew about 12-15 inches tall. I fertilized when I planted them. Any other ideas why they didn't grow?
@@nancyrasmussen2016 no idea. Sounds like the plants were healthy, but never heard of ones that didn't climb -- unless there was a variety mix-up and you got some bush bean seeds instead of pole bean seeds.
How's the back bud
Getting better. Halfway through the 8 week brace period.
@@LazyDogFarm glad to hear you're healing well. Brooklyn and the younguns sure are a big help. I'm in central Mississippi and it's a swamp here right now my maters and cucumbers are about to bite the dust but we got about 200ears of corn, 15 quart size bags of squash zucchini and beans thinking of a cover crop of maybe field peas what ya think?
@@joshsparks8152 great time for a cover crop of field peas.
Can you grow English peas as a fall crop in 7b/8a?
Yes you can. But they don't care for any kind of heat. So need to wait for some cooler nights on those.
@@LazyDogFarm thank you for that information.
I’m in SE Louisiana. Zone 9A. My cucumbers dried up and before that I noticed I had worms in my last few cucumbers I harvested. Can I plant it again. The rain and heat is ridiculous right now.
Tough summer for gardening. Hopefully fall will be better.
@@LazyDogFarm yes. With chickens that has eaten nearly everything I’ve grown yes!!
Hopefully your back is healing and you can get back to it.
How are those tubers (ginger and turmeric) y’all planted in the fire rings back there?!
Turmeric is doing really well -- we have about 5-6 sprouts of it already. Ginger is just starting to emerge from the soil.
@@LazyDogFarm Whereas turmeric is quite eager ginger seems to need to think about it; "Do I feel like growing? Must I emerge?"
After watching your seed video I was wondering if you would recommend a few good seed distributor websites to look at and potentially buy from (other than Hoss since we are ordering from there already!) Our local seed company (twilley) only carries a couple varieties or doesn't carry a lot of the varieties that we would like to grow or try for the first time this fall here in zone 7b.
I just ordered a bunch of cool-season stuff today. I get a lot from Johnny’s because they have an excellent selection of hybrids and a lot of good info on their site. I also bought some stuff from Territorial Seed because they had a few things I couldn’t find elsewhere. I like Urban Farmer too.
I like Baker Creek, Migardener and Botanical Interest ships free which is a huge plus to me. I also order from Hoss and Territorial. I have not ordered from Johnny's because I am an accountant and price check between a couple of companies when I want something specific and Johnny's has always been too expensive😎! I may have a serious seed buying problem, but I try to as frugal as I can😊!!
I’m in zone 7b. I’m growing in containers this year. My tomato plants are still disease free and have a lot of blooms. So I’m hoping I can get a good harvest in the fall. And I’ve got the jing okra that’s about 4” tall. Do you think I will get a harvest off them. They are in a container also.
Great to hear that you're able to keep your tomatoes going through the summer. As far as the okra goes, you should still have plenty of warmth for them to produce.
I planted late. 😬 good I was hoping to get some okra! Thanks
Got the future kraut in the 10 gallon crock. 2/3 full with 45 pounds of cabbage! Guess I need more cabbage next year👹
When do u know when honeydew & cantaloupes r ready to b picked????
Good question. I've never actually grown either of those, so I'm not sure if it's the same as watermelons or not. On watermelons, we look at the tendril where the vine connects to the fruit. When the tendril is dried ,it's ready to harvest.
I know about the tendril on the watermelon, but the honeydew & cantaloupe don’t have tendrils
As I inquired several videos days ago fall potatoes Zone 9B best variety Central Florida❓ 🐎HT🐎👎👎 perhaps a brokeback can be a blessing in disguise give you more time to reply ❓❓how you do it is mind-blowing sure to grow your Channel best of luck whatever? My tomatoes started last week up in 3 days red snapper Bella Rosa sweetie and sugar Sun cherries❗❗❗
Fall potatoes can be done. I’ve seen it. Just never been able to do it myself.
Just a quick crop of bush beans. It's just too unpleasant here to dream of anything.
Haha. At least it’s not been quite as hot this summer as it usually is. We’ve stayed below 95 for the most part.
