Thank you for sharing. I was hesitant to start my beets, but my raised bed has a 50% shade cloth so I will start them with rutabaga, carrots and brassicas 21Jul. We are in the same zone so I feel safe following suit. Your garden and knowledge sharing have helped us tremendously!

[@bradliston8990]

Great info, many thanks to you. It's my first year really gardening and I had a rogue sunflower come up next to my beets. I let it grow for shade and was just absolutely giddy seeing that you had some big ol sunflowers around your root crops too. I for sure want to incorporate them in to my garden every year in almost every bed just for the fall planting options. Seeing the shade that just 1 sunflower casts seems like it's going to be an absolute win for my little garden in Utah. Thanks again, happy growing.

[@THERUSTEDGARDEN]

After last years bumper harvest of beets, this year they havent sprouted at all. Cabbages didnt take either. We've had a wet summer, the warmth has only just arrived (End of July) The weeds are growing in the raised beds tho. Tomatoes going well. Garlic harvest was stupendous. Broccoli has spouted massive elephant ears style leaves bit little else so far.

[@THERUSTEDGARDEN]

Didn’t think about the heat being the reason my carrots didn’t germinate! We had 100+ temps for about a week right after I planted them. Even though they were under a shade cloth it must have been too hot still. I’ll keep trying.

hi, great info. so the beets I planted in May (zone 5b) have wonderful leaf growth but very small beets. Should I leave them in the ground so maybe they will grow larger? Not sure why they are so small. I will sow more beet seeds so either way. thank you for great content.

[@THERUSTEDGARDEN]

They will get bigger but not sure how much so. If you have space, another round will help. With the heat of the summer sometimes they just slow down and pick up again as it cools.

Thank you for responding I am also in Maryland but in Hartford county can you recommend a large sweet Is strawberry variety that works well in our area

So I dont have a specific to recommend. My strawberries are a mix. And have been propagated for so long, I lost track of the names. But Deliz is a good one, check the spelling. My goals was a mix of June Bearing and ever-bearing and the best would stick around.

I planted winter squash this spring for the first time and the plants have died back already. There are some under sized squash on the plants but by the looks of the plants I don't think they'll get any larger. Can they still be used? Did I plant them too early? What is the right time to plant winter squash in our zone? Thanks.

[@elyssiagarcia7006]

Hi quick question! I'm new to all this so a fall garden will be my 1st. If I'm doing big containers for some things, my question is what kind of soil should I be using exactly? Like specifically raised bed soil, or soil labeled for containers only? I saw that you were using some top soil, but I was told that top soil is too heavy, and to have loose soil, so I wax just wondering!

[@THERUSTEDGARDEN]

So it is confusing and I really recommend you watch my bagged soil videos. I explain all of it in detail. I have one from early this summer that is really helpful.

If you plant carrots in a greenhouse, would they come to maturity do you think?

[@THERUSTEDGARDEN]

I think so. But they can mature in the cold and around frosts too.

I'm gonna try this since I haven't started any Cole/ fall weather stuff yet. Have you started your transplants like this before? I have a grow tower I was thinking of growing my collard in should I start the collards in grown or trays since I want to put in grow tower. My beds are taller some anyway and they don't have no actual top soil in them just compost peat moss on top I filled most with a coffee and soil mix compost I bought.

[@THERUSTEDGARDEN]

I have done it this way before and as transplants in cells. Either way works. If you have the open space now, direct seeding can save you time.

Do you ever have issues with raccoons? They LOVE the smell of organic granular fertilizers and they have dug up many plants in my garden because of that. I’m going to have to switch to manually using liquid fertilizer in the mornings, hoping the smell dissipates by the evening.

Gosh, I’m a bit confused. 🙃 First time wanting to plant cabbage for fall…I purchased three different varieties. My first expected frost is October 15-24th. So, a 45, a 65 and an 85. How do I figure when to start the shorter day types? Figured I’d start the 85 in a cell tray.

Well you can start them all now. They can finish before frost. Cabbage can take frost so you can probably grow till end of Nov.
