    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.

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.

      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.

    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!"

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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!
