- The crisp air is beginning to settle in and that means only one thing....It is BRASSICA season baby! My favorite times of year are without doubt early fall, if you can call it fall in San Diego, and early spring. You get to eat all the sweet delicious greens that otherwise suffer through summer and just taste bitter!

It might sound boring but you could show a cleanup video of when you take something out and put something back in its place and how that goes
That sounds like a brilliant idea.
That's coming in vlog format, otherwise I have a full bed flip video as one of my earlier videos that shows just that for a single bed
@@jacquesinthegarden yep. I’ve watched all your videos at least once. That one was good. Thanks
Always very satisfying to watch!
@@Gardeningchristine I couldn't find his "naked gardening day" vidéo ... He must have forgotten to upload it...😁😁😁
You are a great inspiration for all of us “new” gardeners. Going on my 3rd year at my new house and I’m figuring out what does best and what I love to eat!
Can you do some cooking tutorials? You seem to know a lot of good vegetarian meals and I think people would really love to see what you're cooking up with what you grow. Thanks!
Time to start that Jacques in the Kitchen channel...
I for sure will start shooting more...I just need to dress up my kitchen a bit and add some better light
@@Mark723 I like that Jacques in the Kitchen probably as good as the Jacques Pepin tutorials.
Think soil soil soil
I just recently found your channel and I must say: I really like your style. You have a way of explaining things in little bite sized pieces that make total sense. I watched all your videos and learned a ton already. I am about to start my little garden up again after neglecting it for the last two years due to a severe depression. Thanks for inspiring me! Greetings from the Netherlands.
*HUGS from 🇦🇺* I hope you're feeling better now and the garden is helping with your recovery ❤
I thoroughly enjoyed the trees in containers part of the yard. You should feature these plants more often!
Sweet potato leaves have a very mild flavor and will do great in the heat! I love them for salads and greens 🥔 🥬
I would love to see what went into the espalier of that apple. Just more about the fruit trees in general, blueberries, guavas, etc. I've been looking for some dwarf fruit tree ideas, ideally in containers, as my patio area couldn't accommodate any inground trees and I also don't want things that will shade out the currently productive portions of my yard.
I am definitely getting more inyo container fruit for the same reasons, I have a lot of paved area I can't plant in so I am going to be building out a potted orchard
I really enjoy your channel. I am redoing my entire backyard garden here in Tejas. I am switching to container gardening and raised beds. My daughter has MS and changing the garden will allow her to be an active participant in her wheelchair so I would enjoy seeing more about your containers and raised beds.
That's awesome to hear you found a good solution to help them access the garden fully! I will for sure being doing more container and roasted bed content!
Planted an elephant garlic and onion bed in mid October. Then realized I’d love to try store bought garlic too so got 3 from the store and will be planting tomorrow.
I'd be interested in seeing a plan or layout of your garden. It's hard to get a sense of how big it is and where all these different sections are from a ground-level video.
Agree! And I would love to know the angle/direction of the sun in your different gardens. Trying to watch the shadows in your video is a bit challenging! 🤗. Thank you!
I will try to get a drone shot in for the next one!
@@jacquesinthegarden It would be so informative to know what direction the sun is crossing your garden so we can understand the alignment/placement of your beds. Thank you!
I LOVE all of your videos! Especially the fact that some are so long. Like a TV Show. This year is my first gardening attempt and Ive learned SO MUCH from you and Epic Gardening. Thank you for teaching us while also being fun and entertaining at the same time. You guys are my favorite, keep the videos coming! 😁
Jacques, I love listening to you and always learning. You and Kevin are hilarious and my favorite two people on RUclips😀 You keep talking about greens in soups and I do that also, but can you do some cooking videos and share some of your soup ideas?
What I appreciate about growing brassicas in the cool season isn't just better flavor, but mainly because it's too cold for the cabbage looper.
Every morning I go into my garden and pick all the peas and the kids and I snack on them before they go to school. They never make it into the kitchen.
Thanks Jacque! I'm working on transitioning my backyard to more of an edible garden and you've given me so many good ideas. I won't have nearly as much as you, but something to aspire to.
I would love to hear more about the grapes next year! I just can’t seem to figure them out
thanks for sharing Jacques!! would love to see more detailed videos on the fruits you grow in containers, if you are looking for ideas! the guavas, lime, and blueberries all interest me as I don't live in a permanent residence!
So helpful Jacques! You give me hope that I will be able to grow vegetables much better this fall and winter. Your garden is amazing and you are a great teacher.
Thanks for showing the roses at the end! I’ve got my heart set on a particular David Austin rose for next year. I’ve never been a big rose fan in the past but that might be about to change! Lol 🌹
wow you guys can grow anything out there. Stay warm this winter with those 50 degree nights. I'll be putting up my poly tunnels next week as winter sets in here in the philly burbs as we head toward the 20's at night.
Lovely garden tour. Would love to see more detail on how you used a trellis to espalier the apple tree. I've seen many wire and post setups but I think a trellis would be easier if it would work as a long term solution.
Love the variety in your garden. Amazing! all those guavas in one small tree. Guavas are my favorite fruit but haven’t been successful growing one. It’s difficult in Florida in the summer with daily rains for almost 4 months and extreme heat . Avocados, mangoes, and citrus do well.
Oh interesting I always figured that was an ideal climate!
@@jacquesinthegarden It can be a good climate for a lot of things, but when you are trying to grow a variety of stuff, Florida is tricky.
Like MI A, I am in Florida, but where zones 9A and 9B collide. Even here, we are sometimes in the mid 80s at the end of February, and can have a mild-to-moderate freeze the next month. (I even got daffodils to overwinter in a pot, because it was so cold that year they acted like they were in zone 8.)
Highly recommend the Lemonade Citrus tree, It comes from Australia from a wild mutation in the 1980s. Highly recommend the Imperial Mandarin or Gold Nugget Mandarin as well. Citrus would thrive in your climate and fresh citrus eaten or juiced is amazing. Love your tour vidoes as we can see the plants change over time from video to video. Cheers from Brisbane, Australia
Thanks for the recommendations I will keep those in mind when I add some more citrus :)
BT is a garden saver for me not only can I have brassicas but it also saves my squash plants from the vine borers.
I live vicariously through you guys in warmer zones, I'm in NE Indiana and 50s is our t-shirt weather 😆 I love seeing all the tropical fruits you can grow!
All your rose tips and tricks! Including growing apples in 9 and 10.
Also, beautiful garden!
If you're interested, rhubarb can grow quite well in container pots - I have all my rhubarb in large pots, including several I got from my mum who had to divide hers up from a container pot because it grew so well there was almost visible soil left 😆
I love these garden tours...I learn a lot. Thanks Jacques!
Those tomato's you grow late you can pick them green wrap them in newspaper and pit them in a dark cool place and you can have them all winter.... Pick tomatoes a few days apart so they ripen at different times. It is really nice to have good tasting tomatoes at Christmas 😁🇱🇷🙏🇱🇷
I would love to see some full length videos dedicated to the perennial container garden 😍 thanks for taking the time to take us through your food oasis 💚
I grew up on a farm in Ohio. I would sit in the dirt in between the rows of peas and snack, snack, snack 🌱
Thanks, Jacques! This was a great overview of what you’re growing and the explanation of the plants as you go was great 😊
Beautiful garden, thanks for the tour!
I love all of your flowers mixed in!
In my experience, Determinate tomatoes are only determinate in size. Like a bush type squash vs a vining squash.
i have a three year old tiny tim that still produces tomatoes when the temperature is right.
Garden looks great! We just had our first frost last night, so snow is coming (NE WA z6)
I absolutely loved the strawflowers this year! I planted them out in early May. They're still blooming! I harvested flowers a few times a week all summer for drying, and they just kept blooming. Will definitely grow every year! 😊
Thanks Jacques your garden is amazing! 🍁🍂🍁🦃💚🙃
I discovered brassicas last year!! More this coming season! So so so good!
Thanks for this video. I think this is your best one yet!!
Looks awesome!
Just love your channel! It has been so helpful. 😇
Great tour, thank you!
I am. in. loveeee❤ amazing garden, and the fact that you were able to fit in all that there is 👌🏼
Stunning
Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for the tour. Even though you did an update on the trees in the chicken garden recently, I guess I was just hoping to see the chickens with a quick update 😁.
Thanks Jacques
Hello, i've gotten so many idea's watching yours and kevins channels...can't wait until spring to start. your friend from Michigan.
I have both the lemon and strawberry guavas. The lemon guava tastes better.
It also produces a lot more for me. I have to actually thin out the fruits or the branches will break.
They are amazing fruit trees! I agree the lemon is better and more sizeable which is nice
When you were talking about harvesting your last set of tomatoes so that you could “taste summer going into winter” I could only think about the quote from Napoleon Dynamite when the character, Summer, is running for class president and says to vote for her so that “if you vote for me, it will be summer all year-round.” 😂 Keep up the homegrown videos, Jacques. I love ‘em.
Celery stock is a great natural source of umami, chuck some garlic and parsley in there as well and you've got a vego, savoury, umami stock.
Moringa is very popular in Jamaica. We use it mainly as powder or flour and mix it into ANY and EVERYTHING.
Lovely.
Nice garden!
Oh wow, your weather is cooler than here in West Central Florida(zone9b), we are in the low 80's during the day and 60's at night, that will be changing soon, I love this time of year for my garden because everything grows so much better, less pests and less rain, I have my kales in and kohlrabi also all the herbs tomatoes plants grow best now and lots of bush beans, if we do get a freeze it won't be until late Jan or Feb, your garden looks amazing and I need to try and grow broccoli rabe, thanks for sharing.
We can get a light frost in January as well. The winters are cool in the mid 60s to low 40s and all of our rain is pretty much November through March and then none for the rest of the year :(
It's a lovely garden
Wow you have so much growing
Jacques,
I would love to see a future video on the best way to prune grape vines to increase productivity. 😊
Next year I’ll know in my area, if I can get my crops through a couple nights in the lower 30s or upper 20s I might be able to grow into December.
Same here for me. This is my first year trying to grow anything bast September. Been gardening in my own garden 26 years now and helping in my grandmother’s gardens since I could walk. Nobody in our area grows anything in their gardens except summer. This year I feel like I am experimenting and next year I will have a better grasp on things. My in-laws think I have completely lost my mind and it will never work. Thank you for making me feel I am not the only one and not completely off my rocker yet!!
@@cordelia7313 I’m in southeast Missouri zone b6. I’ve got kale, Swiss chard, carrots, onions, elephant garlic, rosemary, thyme, basil, peppers, pock choi, strawberries and tomatoes all still going strong. Wish I hadn’t cut down my eggplant and most of my peppers already. The alyssum, petunias, and tomatoes are blooming like crazy. I just planted 3 heads of garlic today. I know the onions, carrots, garlic, kale, and Swiss chard will be ok in pretty cold weather. Just try stuff. The worst thing is it dies anyway.
@@Gardeningchristine Oh wow!! That is wonderful!! We are middle TN so zone 7a. We had an early cold snap and it decimated my tomato plants. They had took off tremendously after the heat let up. I picked over 200 cherry tomatoes the night it hit and ripened them inside, along with a bucket of regular tomatoes and tons of peppers. I have been so surprised at how will my herbs have enjoyed the cool weather!! Hate you cut your peppers also. If like mine they would be going strong still. I have several cooler weather plants started and plan to do some row cover to extend their growth. Can’t hurt to try, has been my life long moto!! Good luck in your endeavors!!
@@cordelia7313 you as well! I’ve bought a bunch of sheer curtains to use as row covers for anything that doesn’t need pollination like cabbage, carrots, lettuce, and such because cabbage white butterflies and harlequin bugs eat everything. I’m learning and in two years here I’ve figured out some things that grow better than others. I hope in 26 years I’ll have it down. 🤞🏼
Hi, you have wonderful videos. I just subscribed. You have inspired me...thanks.
This is fantastic! I'm glad that I am not the only one who loves vegetables for the leaves, and continues to grow them after the fruit is harvested. Living in Zone 9a , the brassicas are on my list 'to grow'. When did you get the seedlings into the ground? Thanks again for your wise council and suggestions. Happy Gardening!
I try to get them in ASAP starting late September and into October as soon as I am ready to walk away from my summer crops
bro,what'up! super~ amazing view, see you on my side, ;))
I'm doing the same experiment in my leaf green stalk with garlic. It was sprouting (left in the fridge) and I thought why not? Hope it works for us.
I’m in Huntington Beach and this has been the coldest October I remember ever!! My broccoli is thriving.
I would love to see your ideas and recipes on how you use all of this wonderful food you’re growing. It would also give more people a reason to try and grow different varieties. I started hoping you would give other little hints as to how you would cook up other veggies after you mentioned how you cook up the broccoli rabe. Rock with Jacques in the kitchen!
I, for one, would like that recipe for the bean and cucuzza squash stew😊
@@petpawteek8776 Now I’m really hungry!
All my brassicas fell victim to the white moth (green worms). I will try again for the winter garden, when less chance of pests. I, too live in San Diego. Nice long season is a good thing…😊
Hi Jacques, a detailed video about asparagus would be great 👍 thanks 😊
Love to see some cucuzza growing! Its a Sicilian staple 😎
I planted shelling peas, and canned all of them, taste better than canned peas from the store
Not sure if you remember the video that Kevin did on finding local fruit so you can forge them. Well I went on the website he recommended and I found wild Feijoa’s. So good. Sucks they didn’t harvest this year
Oh I forgot about that, very cool!
Hi Jacques! I always enjoy your garden tours. The good but also the things you're not sure worked out quite the way you expected (aka the bad and ugly lol...but you don't have much of that!). I'm intrigued by what you said about trying to grow what you're growing in ground beds also in containers. I only have a small front yard and I mostly container garden. IMHO container gardens are okay but produce a smaller yield than what I see ground bed growers harvest. I'd like to hear your opinion on that.
In general since you are growing in a container you have to accept that the plant will have a limit on its nutrients, root spread, and water. in ground the ants have access to minerals present in the soil, more biological life from worms, critters, fungal networks...and since there is no container their roots can search for whatever else they may need. You can try to supplement with extra nutrients and be perfect about water but I think in general you won't really be able to match in ground fully! It doesn't mean it's bad it just might take more tweaking and or observation to get similar results
@@jacquesinthegarden Thank you for your thoughts! It backs up my observations, especially this summer because we had a drought. The container plants didn't really come back, but almost all of the ground plants came back, and came back really well. I was so surprised.
I'm not a plant, but putting up that many leaves seems counter productive.
LOVE your garden!! What did you do about your roly-poly situation? They decimated my garden this last year and I’m trying to figure out how to avoid that situation again this year.
25:47 Cabbage white... 😁
Loved the tour -- How many plants/trees do y'all think Jacques actually has in all of his gardens? 😊
Oh geez, are we counting each onion and garlic plant?
the curley kale looks like a palm tree. Ours will make it through the winter in Michigan but then its stalk splits from freeze/thaw
Woah I always wondered what happened to those guys in ultra cold regions.
I thought I was the only one who never has a pea indoors 😂 I keep thinking if I grow more than I'll have enough to save, hasn't worked yet 🤷♀️.
Jacques! You got such a beautiful garden!
And those pill bugs why they such a pest since they supposedly help the dirt ? Same thing happens to me specifically with small transplants ..
And gorgeous asparagus! I got mine two years ago , going on the third year and not good enough to eat . Any suggestions?
God bless.
I live in Hawaii and I am constantly trying to kill off the strawberry guava in my yard 😂 Even if you cut them down, they will regrow.
Great video! What thornless raspberry variety do you have? And, if you haven’t, you’ve got to try Chinese Basil. The scent is amazing and it grows like Tulsi. Mine is still thriving in L.A. I’m sure it’ll continue through winter again.
Canby thornless! I have tried Chinese basil yet but I absolutely love tulsi I will check it out!
@@jacquesinthegarden Thx Jacques! Bakercreek has the Chinese Basil.
When do you plant the seeds for your brassica? Like what end of summer or? Same with carrots. When do you plant seeds?
18:40
But aren’t monarch butterflies going extinct?? Maybe have a couple stray cabbage for them 🌱
They're doing better, and milkweed is much better for them!
I have personally never seen any other butterflies lay eggs and thus form caterpillars on my brassicas other than the cabbage looper. I have a lot of other plants they would prefer to go to like my milkweed!
Loved this video! So much great information. I put in a garden for my sister who lives in San Diego about a year ago and realized how well everything grows there. I currently live in Florida however and it is a whole different ball game. Extreme heat, high humidity, sudden dryness, hotter than normal fall and sudden snaps of cold below freezing, Not to mention trying to amend sand and clay 🤦🏼♀️. I usually say if my plants can make it through this they can make it through anything. Truly only the strong survive however I still with the Growing green thumb that I have I’ve managed to have tons of tropical plants in my greenhouse, success with tomatoes (for the most part), and Some pretty healthy soil in my raised beds. I just see it as a challenge lol! I couldn’t tell from the video but it seemed like you had an olive tree that was behind one of your guavas. Could be wrong I am growing an olive tree as well and was just wondering about if you had any success with it. We to grow tons of guavas all in pots of course until we can put in a bigger greenhouse I just love having them producing fruit all year round. They’re so delicious! Also I was wondering we have these fritillary butterflies that devour our passion fruit we finally got a fruit off of one of them but I fight them like a mad person all throughout spring summerAnd into the fall. You can usually find me at my house with my net running around chasing them. Do You guys have the same problem? Or because passionfruit grow so well there you don’t really have to worry so much about that. Either way I love your guys content. I watch you and epic gardener And I am learning so much! Thank you! 😆
I do have an olive tree back behind the guava in a container! We placed it there for a visual appeal mostly but who knows maybe we will get a little fruit at some point. Florida seems like a mixed bag for growing some regions seems perfect and others seem challenging but really it seems like dealing with very sandy soil would be a huge challenge. We have the gulf fritillaries but I feel like not in enough abundance that it has ever been a problem
@@jacquesinthegarden
It definitely is a mixed bag! Absolutely would be fun to see what happens with that olive tree. I’m keeping an eye on mine 👀
Your garden is spectacular! I have issues with raccoons so I'm wary of planting in ground. Do you have that issue? If so how do you deal with that?
Racoons are a big issue, in ground they are almost always digging to look for grubs to snack on. I find that transplanting helps a lot as the more robust seedlings can take more of a beating
Love the channel! We grow eggplant from seed or starts in the spring and harvesting in the fall and winter here in central Arizona Zone 9b. What happens is the summer temps are so hot (up to 112 F) that even when we start them in the garden after last frost they will not produce in spring as it gets too hot too soon. It will flower but won't set fruit through the summer even with shade cloth over them and 3-6 inches of straw mulch on the soil. But that's okay, because the plants grow a ton through the long days of summer and then when the temps begin to drop in fall and through the winter we get a really bountiful harvest that lasts for 5- or 6-months Oct-Mar. My question is can we grow these perennially here too? They are currently 7 feet tall, 5 feet wide, and have produced dozens of fruits per plant already with no sign of stopping anytime soon. Typically we chop and drop or compost these monsters in spring when they stop producing and use that space for other crops while new eggplants come up from seed in trays. This works, but we are growing new plants each year. Should I prune these back when they stop producing and try as a perennial? Or would a second long hot summer be too much for them? Thanks.
You should definitely try doing it to some of your plants it gives them an even bigger jump start. As long as they don't die there is no downside for the coming year!
stares at your three year eggplant from Washington
Second comment! Love your garden!!
Don't pull all your onions! I'd love to see you leave some for the pollinators and also seed collection.
Just a heads up, anytime you were walking there was a clanking noise on the recording. I think it's your hat toggle.
:( yeah very bummed that happened, I will never let that happen again
Hey Jacques, what kind of blue berries do you grow?
Sadly I do not know the varieties as they were gifted a while back.
What did you do for the pillbugs?
I’ve tried sluggo plus and it worked ok but it’s really not controlled them enough to make a major impact
Tell us the Strain of tomatoes Broh so we know what thrives in our Hood this time a year S.D. baybeeh! 619🤙
Thanks for the video. When you mentioned that you can cut back mint, can I do the same with thyme? My thyme is no longer green, so I am wondering if it will come back with green leaves just like my mint did recently. Zone 7b in the south so we have mild winters. Your blueberry bushes looks so healthy, mine are struggling I am about to give up on blueberry in my 20 gal grow bag.
I have a guide on pruning perennials herbs like thyme, they can fully recover the challenge is to just not overwater
@@jacquesinthegarden thank you I will check it out. I just received my birdies bed today from you guys. Thanks!
Jacques!
I'm craving some aerial views!
pretty please ; )
I can't believe you have all those brassicas in the open - what about the cabbage loopers?
I find they aren't all that bad in the fall, if I do notice a lot of damage I am ok with spraying a little BT on just my brassicas. It is so targeted that I don't really have a fear of damaging any beneficial caterpillars.
How many years can you get out of an eggplant? Is that why you are succession planting?
Generally people say after 3 years you start getting decreased production so ideally it seems like replacing them after 3-4 years would be best.
How far do you cut the kale? I have a couple of two year old dino kale that are 3 ft high. I'm lk scared to cut them, but they are in a wind-prone area and concerned next time a storm will knock em down.
Also, did you start the cabbage from seed or transant eedlings in the greenstalk?
On some I cut it down to where I saw a bud swelling or starting to grow. Most of the kale plants II have cut down to 1 or 2 foot height. The cabbages in this case were transplanted!
Your Brassicas are impressive. Mine still look like seedlings. What is your secret?
I'm looking into alternative broccoli, Not a fan of worms...
Is the celery you have grown one of the non-bunching varieties? If so, what kind?
I'm curious about that as well.
This one is Ventura which is a buncher I would be curious to try a non bunching type
