When you prune suckers from your indeterminate tomatoes, pop them in some potting soil. Keep 'em damp, and you have a ready supply of replacements either for those that fail in your garden or for a late season crop.
I did replant new tomato plants in later summer and I ended up with a huge amount of green tomatoes come late October early November (that a pulled before frost) and let them ripen on their own or in a brown paper bag and had my last yummy tomatoes into mid December.
Lady on a podcast in North Carolina said she starts tomatoes in July or August and has an end of year harvest instead of spring time. I'm gonna attempt this year
The only variety that germinated and is growing for me so far this year. Had to plant 3 times and other 4 varieties have never germinnated.. 😐 never have had problem growing lettuce before this year..
After gardening for approx. 50+ yrs, I still learn new things on your channel. You are quick, full of information, and such a joy to learn from. Thank you MI Gardener, your the best!❤️
I concur 100%‼️ I’ve been gardening for 45+ years, but there’s always more we can learn from one another & believe learning should be a lifelong process.
We've had a heartbreaking couple of months and I've been sad about not getting as many things started as soon. This gives me more hope for this year's garden. Thanks Luke!
Another way to start another flush of tomatoes now is to pinch decent-sized suckers, root them in water, and plant them in the ground. I am going to be doing a bit of this as an experiment to see when they ultimately flower and produce fruit.
I’m actually doing that with a few right now off a Super Sweet 100. Had them in water for 3-4 days and no real roots so I planted them today and now waiting to see what happens. Planted them in starting mix.
I am in Phoneix Az and we are already 109 in shade and higer so cow peas are still plantable this month and next. Okra can go in with shade cloth on east side and north side. But I plan on putting in the plants inlate sept and November. No snow to worry about and are 9b I always thought we coudnt grow good gardens here but actually we have a great growing seasons throughout fall and winter and spring Midsummer is a little difficult but some things to grow here of course we have to work on microclimate add a lot of fruit trees where the shade is in the afternoon and we do grow a number of tropicosas I'm sure you already know that again microclimate shade cloth. I am surprised to find out that fruiting mulberries grow very well here as they do and the really cold areas. I really enjoy watching your RUclips channel and I just adjust the timeline to fall winter and spring for those things that you're growing now. Thank you for making such wonderful videos and giving us true information.
Nice video Luke . I’m in Livonia . Thanks for all your advice . I’m growing about 80 or 90 peppers. I’m documenting it from seed to sauce . I’m showing all my mistakes and success.
Pamela Collins Jester, Thanks for the suggestion! I never thought of dehydrating the spinach to add as a powder. So much I am learning from Luke and all you more experienced gardeners. Glad I watched and learned I’m not too late to plant a few more seeds tomorrow!
@@Gardencook5 I do like a mixed greens powder but I do the spinach separate. Spinach has a tell take flavor and I don't always want that in the background taste. Just saying!
Thank you so much for this. I’m always second guessing myself at this time of year about what I can and can’t plant. I’m always thinking I “missed” my opportunity and this video is really helpful!!
Another obvious one is carrots -- they don't take up a lot of space (so can replace a small area you have cleared) and grow all season! And they store extremely well.
You need a slug less soil. None of mine have survived long enough to grow up to an inch of greens before disappearing. Bad slug year! I ordered them some beer tiki huts to "vacation" in. Here sluggy slug...
Luke and gang, I just had the most amazing cabbage. It's Farao which I got at my Farmer' s Market. The grower said he got the seed from Johnny's Select Seeds. I suggest you consider this creamy fast-growing cabbage for your inventory. You can't go wrong.
I have a bad back and would love some raised beds but the ones I saw cost several hundred $$. You are blessed you can build one in fact I bet you could make money building them for others☺
Just started watching this channel and now I’m obsessed!! I’m also from Michigan and just started a vegetable garden earlier this year after saving a bunch of seeds from some organic fruits and veggies I’ve been eating! Looking forward to binge watching the rest of these videos😁👍🏼
Thank you!!!! You just validated my purchase of more potato seeds yesterday!! I was hesitant, then I watched your video this morning. Perfect timing!!!!
Been growing and selling Tiny Tim tomato plants at the farmers' market. Often times, they are purchased by families with small children. Right now, I am starting some "mini gardens" in containers with a Tiny Tim tomato in the middle, with a few small varieties of companion flowers & herbs around them. I believe these container mini-gardens will be popular with my customers.
My dad had a garden center and used to do this! He would make up a 6 pack with one plant each of a tomato, bell pepper, poblano pepper, etc. They would fly off the shelves. Good luck you’ll do great!
@@meganjonas9612 I would love to find someone who sold 6 packs like that! Your dad was thinking about his customers. Smart idea! Thank you for sharing,
From southern Oregon. Been growing lettuce since April and still going strong, dropped in some seeds around June 2nd and they just sprouted. We're able to harvest potatoes year round. Just planted a handful of Brandywine tomato suckers for the fall. We also can also do red and yellow onions all the way until November.
I am only on my first garden and I am growing a bunch of stuff in June on top of what I spring planted because I anticipated a bunch of failures lol. Your reasons are good too!
The thing I've found at year 5 gardening is there is always failures and the weather is never the same. But its all worth it. Something else I learned was only this year and its been that a variety of bugs come and go. They're not that bad since this year I've learned to work with them instead of against them. Now when ants attack, I give them a pile of their own to work on. I know how to identify most bugs, and have learned what to do and how not to worry about it.
Allright😁, I'm so glad you touched on these items to continue growing 💖. I just wanna share that I'm in the Pacific northwest and our winters are really mild, so I this past winter grew a very successful crop of both broccoli and sugar snap peas over our winter. 💖😁
I love this video!! Honestly, June is the only month when I search for gardening tasks to do since I’ll be done with harvesting and transplanting. This will give me a few chances to experiment before starting fall garden, thanks for this!
Yes! It was the perfect day here in SE Michigan. Was a nice change from the humid day before. I love your tips! That's for all the info. I think we'll have the best garden we've ever had this year and your videos have been so helpful!
I'm learning alot from Luke!! He makes gardening fun and exciting (especially when you get GREAT results for 1/4 of the price your neighbors are spending on their hobby gardens). I need to start learning how to "crop rotate" and grow all year long. I will try growing all year this year, over the fall and winter.
I'm gonna try to plant carrot and beet seeds in the garden this saturday.. I'm running late but it is in a nice cool area mostly sunny but has shade too... we will see
THANK'S for this one BIG time !!! Up here in the TC area the weather has been crazy. Frost last night and the night before and maybe tonight. So glad that thing's weren't in the ground, bean seeds but that's all. This week end and the coming week will be a planting frenzy . Potatoes, tomatoes, peppers, squash's, broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage and more. Had them ready 3 or 4 week's ago but they didn't like the weather changes and I lost about half of everything and had to start more. So this video has settled my mind alot so thank you again. Enjoy watching and learning. Stay safe and healthy. God bless
Great Video Luke, I got a big smile when you said its ok to grow broccoli in the summer because I started (from seed) some in early February (just testing). Happy to report I now have 8 plants that are doing great (in 5 gallon buckets in case of Hurricanes). I live in zone 9a (central Florida). Thanks for sharing all your knowledge on gardening!
I'm in Texas! Love your videos! Great suggestions, esp about the tomato seeds. I have one tomato plant I planted from seed 2 months that is just starting to grow. Fine with me, cherub tomatoes through early November! Thanks, Luke!
This has been the most challenging year for growing and yet after some brutal fall and spring weather, things showed off and came back like crazy on some things. If your not sure of perimters and dont want to waste a lot of seed or take up prime spots. It never hurts to devote a smsll area for experimenting with pushing the limits and finding new things out about plants and what you can do!
Glad I found your channel. I live in Holland MI and these are very helpful for my gardening. Growing up in SC my gardening was way different than here in MI.
Thanks so much for the awesome info as always. Living in OK and going to plant more tomatoes and broccoli!! Fall gardening wasn't that great last year so going to adjust and start now.
I planted Yukon gold potatoes in February and just planted reddale & Adirondack blue potatoes...I start mine in 5gal buckets and bags under grow lights then put outside when warm enough. Thanks for all of your help and advice.
Do you have holes in your buckets? I want to buy buckets to growing potatoes, but I am wondering if it is much better to have them with holes? Оr not big difference?
Glad you mentioned those of us in the Southwest not growing lettuce. As much as we would love to eat those things we could get it in the ground and watch it die or bolt overnight, too hot here.
Thank you for this June growing vid. I have a container garden started back in mid May but in the 11th hour I got a community garden plot and started a second phase of seeds at the end of May. Some for transplants, some direct sewn, (some left over seedlings squeezed in just to prove to the organizers Im actually going to eventually be growing stuff.) I've been having some anxiety about it even though Im thinking of it entirely as a late summer/ fall harvest. Im growing mostly stuff that can be pulled at any point (undersized) but is also cold hardy... I think I'll be fine, but its good to know Im not completely crazy. It hasn't been meshing this mixed messaging out of the growing community, "You have to have stuff in the ground by this date!" next to "You can have a second harvest!"
Thank you so much for taking the time to share all this usefull information!!! Also I am foever grateful for the seeds I bought from you: great quality!!! Thank you!!! Thank you!!!
Luke, love your channel. Half of my hard-worked crops were decimated by unknown critter(s) last week, so this advice is perfect timing. I wouldn't have thought to start peas in June, but looking forward to starting over with them now! Speaking of critters, would love it if you could make a video about ways to protect crops from deer, rabbits, woodchucks, etc. without the need for a lot of permanent fencing, if it's possible.
@@frjohnmahfouz I'm going to use seeds. Keeps me from having to harden them off and I think that is what Luke was alluding to. I have several garden areas because of how my driveway is. The area I'm going to throw them in gets some morning and afternoon shade. About 8 hours total sun.
I'm watching this in June 2022. Such good information! I lost two plantings of tomato seedlings due to poor care on my part. I'm going to just direct sow some tomato, pepper and eggplant seeds outside and see what happens to them. Worst case, I get nothing from these plants, but if I don't plant the seeds, I won't have anything anyway. I'm in Zone 7B, and our first frost date isn't until mid to late October. I have high hopes and my fingers crossed!
Im seeing this 2 year later and its very helpful. I lost many snap peas to enation virus (crazy fluctuating weather) - now I can try a second crop, and also plant some "Peacock" broccoli sees. Thanks!
Interesting that just this week BCBS of Michigan sent a package with a face mask, disposable thermometers AND a package of broccoli seeds that I felt was too late until your video today. Will start the seeds today in my Growease starter kit from Gardeners Supply. Thanks Luke!!! Diedra in midMichigan.
Zone 3b/4a my spinach in planters went to seed a week ago, before the 95 daytime air temp highs. In garden, spinach bed 3 x 5 ft is just today going to seed. That bed is well mulched & watered (plus soil is part peat moss & old potting soil from flower planters).
Very helpful video. Love the reminder of a fall harvest for tomatoes. There are varieties that I didn’t start as I just did seed starting for the first time and am now planting all those. I learned a lot of the seed starting info from your videos so thanks!! Where can I post some pics of what you’ve inspired? I’m having to build additional beds to accommodate all the plants that were started successfully.
luke, funny that you mentioned planting seeds for tomatoes. i just planted 6 or 8 plants yesterday just to see if I could get another crop in! thanks for this info.
Great video, Luke! I live in zone 8b, (Texas) and have about 4 volunteer broccoli coming up. We've only been in this house a little less than 3 years and have not planted broccoli yet. I actually have it on my list of what I want to plant in September. I figures I'd just let it grow to give me experience. I'm assuming when we got the beds ready and planted in early March, we stirred up some seeds. They are in a bed with bush beans and seem to be getting along.
Thanks for the reminder I needed to go ahead and get some tomatoes going now to be ready in August. I have never succession-sown tomatoes but I absolutely CAN in my climate/microclimate.
I was thinking of pulling the spinach and early lettuce last week, too, but wasn't sure what to do with it. Now I know. I'll do it tomorrow. Good timing. Thanks! PS: I don't know about there but here the remnants of the hurricane hit pretty hard. It knocked over the dill, and even broke some of the stakes in the ground holding up some plants. Crazy!
Lettuce 2:45
Potatoes 4:06

I do that too. I am getting tomatoes now in zone 7.
Do they grow more tomatoes? My plant is doing great but if I could up my yield I’d love to do that
@@dumbgenious1960 yes the suckers grow a whole new plant
I missed this comment -- I have the same plan!
Sorry...I'm new...what are suckers?
I did replant new tomato plants in later summer and I ended up with a huge amount of green tomatoes come late October early November (that a pulled before frost) and let them ripen on their own or in a brown paper bag and had my last yummy tomatoes into mid December.
I pulled one whole plant and let it hang. The tomatoes were Great for an amazingly long time : )
Italians pull the whole plant and hang it 😊
Green tomatoes never last long in my house 🌝
Lady on a podcast in North Carolina said she starts tomatoes in July or August and has an end of year harvest instead of spring time. I'm gonna attempt this year
Where do you hang? Whats the best temps to keep long term while they ripen on the plant?
Black seeded Simpson might be the most bullet proof lettuce of them all haha slower to bolt, grows lightning fast and stays sweet! Great variety!
I am growing it now for the first time and it is awesome.
The only variety that germinated and is growing for me so far this year. Had to plant 3 times and other 4 varieties have never germinnated.. 😐 never have had problem growing lettuce before this year..
Ty I'll have to try this!
@@CG-mj8tk yea same lol we here 1 year later
I do wish it were crispier though
Thank you for providing info for gardeners who are ‘late bloomers’ but have time to plant now. 🌱

Yep. Directly in soul is the way to go I think. 2 weeks and i have small plants
After listening to this yesterday 6/15, I planted three different types of tomatoes and two different types of peas. Thank you Luke 😊

Same!
7 & 8 zone and my lettuce is doing good but my cabbages all went to seed
Mine too
Same! Oddly enough, I've never had lettuce do so well and I've been gardening years. I think I might just put out some potatoes and peas then :|
same mine looks healthy first time growing it; idk if its gonna go to head tho might have planted to close
I’m glad you mentioned broccoli. I happened to have a packet of seeds and now is the right time for it to grow here in the south.
I'm in Georgia 7b and the fact you mentioned different veggies for warmer climates was so helpful!!
Thank you for sharing. I'm starting my garden later than expected. You give me confidence that I can still go these veggies. 😁

Yes, good to know. Thanks
Luke, love your channel. Half of my hard-worked crops were decimated by unknown critter(s) last week, so this advice is perfect timing. I wouldn't have thought to start peas in June, but looking forward to starting over with them now! Speaking of critters, would love it if you could make a video about ways to protect crops from deer, rabbits, woodchucks, etc. without the need for a lot of permanent fencing, if it's possible.
Me too. Tons of deer here and a bear too. On 10 acres in a rural community with suburbia 2 roads down and houses within a 100 ft of each other.
thank you on the broccoli tip! Going to throw some in and see what I get!
Seed or starters from the nursery?
@@frjohnmahfouz I'm going to use seeds. Keeps me from having to harden them off and I think that is what Luke was alluding to. I have several garden areas because of how my driveway is. The area I'm going to throw them in gets some morning and afternoon shade. About 8 hours total sun.
I'm glad this popped up in my feed! Great reminder! 💜
I'm watching this in June 2022. Such good information! I lost two plantings of tomato seedlings due to poor care on my part. I'm going to just direct sow some tomato, pepper and eggplant seeds outside and see what happens to them. Worst case, I get nothing from these plants, but if I don't plant the seeds, I won't have anything anyway. I'm in Zone 7B, and our first frost date isn't until mid to late October. I have high hopes and my fingers crossed!
Im seeing this 2 year later and its very helpful. I lost many snap peas to enation virus (crazy fluctuating weather) - now I can try a second crop, and also plant some "Peacock" broccoli sees. Thanks!
Interesting that just this week BCBS of Michigan sent a package with a face mask, disposable thermometers AND a package of broccoli seeds that I felt was too late until your video today. Will start the seeds today in my Growease starter kit from Gardeners Supply. Thanks Luke!!! Diedra in midMichigan.
Thank you Luke great information Learned allot today me n my sister were just talking about the broccoli 🥦 😊
Zone 3b/4a my spinach in planters went to seed a week ago, before the 95 daytime air temp highs. In garden, spinach bed 3 x 5 ft is just today going to seed. That bed is well mulched & watered (plus soil is part peat moss & old potting soil from flower planters).
I have started most of my garden in June lol, I didn’t want worry about frost this year. I also started tomato seeds for half my plants.
Very interesting! Thanks Luke!
Very helpful video. Love the reminder of a fall harvest for tomatoes. There are varieties that I didn’t start as I just did seed starting for the first time and am now planting all those. I learned a lot of the seed starting info from your videos so thanks!! Where can I post some pics of what you’ve inspired? I’m having to build additional beds to accommodate all the plants that were started successfully.
Great info, Luke. I think I will try some bunching onions in a spare spot.
luke, funny that you mentioned planting seeds for tomatoes. i just planted 6 or 8 plants yesterday just to see if I could get another crop in! thanks for this info.
Great video. Perfect timing.
I did learn about broccoli! I ordered some from you but thought too late and had to wait til later. I'll try some now.
Thank you for your content and positively
Great one! Thank you!
Great video, Luke! I live in zone 8b, (Texas) and have about 4 volunteer broccoli coming up. We've only been in this house a little less than 3 years and have not planted broccoli yet. I actually have it on my list of what I want to plant in September. I figures I'd just let it grow to give me experience. I'm assuming when we got the beds ready and planted in early March, we stirred up some seeds. They are in a bed with bush beans and seem to be getting along.
Well that explains my spinach problem. I’m in Michigan too. Thanks for talking about it.
It is so funny, because I just started some tomato seeds, and recently started some snap peas... But I'm in CA where it's 90
Thank you for this! Going to go plant some of these now! I planted broccoli in the spring and it completely failed, but I will try again.
Thanks for the reminder I needed to go ahead and get some tomatoes going now to be ready in August. I have never succession-sown tomatoes but I absolutely CAN in my climate/microclimate.
Really enjoy your show!
I was thinking of pulling the spinach and early lettuce last week, too, but wasn't sure what to do with it. Now I know. I'll do it tomorrow. Good timing. Thanks! PS: I don't know about there but here the remnants of the hurricane hit pretty hard. It knocked over the dill, and even broke some of the stakes in the ground holding up some plants. Crazy!
