I'm just starting to do my fall gardening. Collard greens, kale in raise bed. I had set it up and then it. We had a storm and I couldn't do anything. So i'm just planting them in the raised bed, today i'm praying for harvest

[@Amshatelia88]

Fantastic and very timely tips! Thank you!

Thanks, hope it helps! 🙂

I'm in Australia in Canberra. We've just come out of winter. Just move to my new home, the ground soil is just clay and god knows what. Smaller backyard, too. I'm going to do the no dig garden. I did it many years ago on my farm. So easy no digging😊

[@HeidiStephenson-w2o]

What a fantastic video. Such great information. Thanks

[@jimmcdowell9017]

Great tips and thanks for reminding us

@@jimmcdowell9017 thanks Jim, take care man.

[@jacobwilliams3249]

I love your videos! Your videos are so helpful to me.

[@zinnia3190]

Excellent video, Jeff. I've been slow about getting my fall garden seeds in, but after watching your video I'm headed out to the garden (& get it over with 🤣🤣) Burnout is real this time of year, but I'll appreciate the food later.

[@TheRipeTomatoFarms]

Sooooo true Zinnia. Its just the nature of it all. Nothing wrong with taking a break or better yet, trying something new to reinvigorate the passion! 🙂

[@taracreatestoo6388]

Peppers doing well in Greenville SC. Some fall crops planted. I planted long day onions, still need to buy short day onions to plant in late winter.

[@margaretpollard2179]

I haven't planned for fall yet, but the summer plantings were disappointing to say the least but I'm still hoping to get some Cherokee purple tomatoes. Looking forward to taking your course this fall. Thank you...I'm sure it will help me with next years garden! I appreciate all the knowledge you share & am looking forward to sharing my successes next year! 👍 🙂

[@TheRipeTomatoFarms]

I hear you on that one Margaret. Summer for us was either intense heat or just straight up wind and rain. It was difficult to say the least. Best of luck with your fall plantings! :-)

[@GreenThumbGardener65]

I had to move everything to the greenhouse in NJ already.

In SE AZ, overnight temps are around 60° and sporadic highs around 90°. Regrettably, due to digestive issues, I can not eat brassicas, which i used to love to eat. I will plant the peas, though, and my strawberries did put out runners, which are doing great! Love your posts, keep it up.

[@TheRipeTomatoFarms]

Sorry to hear that Patricia...have you tried the less cruciferous Brassicas like bok choy and other mustard greens? Might be a work around for you! 🙂

[@patricianelson8]

@TheRipeTomatoFarms I've tried Bok Choy before my surgery. Maybe I'll try a small amount. If there are no issues, I will add it to my good to eat list.

Great info thanks so much for your time. 😃

Cheers Nancy, thanks so much for watching! :-)

I really love following you even though I’m in Central Florida. It’s still 90 every day. Maybe mid-October I can put my seedlings out. 😊

[@TheRipeTomatoFarms]

Such different rowing conditions, its amazing. I'd feel like a fish out of water there! Thanks for the support! :-)

[@JohnJude-dp6ed]

6a Mid Ohio I'm planting buckwheat and big radishes as cover crop. Feeding the garden and hopefully it should pay back more as normal. Thanks Jeff.😅

[@TheRipeTomatoFarms]

Buckwheat! Love it John....underrated cover crop!

[@denisebal7201]

I get so excited when I see a videos. I wanna plant everything. However, I am trying to scale it down. I am a new gardener, need any any advice you can give me.❤😅❤

[@denisebal7201]

I have tried tomatoes and can't sing to get them to grow at all this time. As I watch a video I think I'm gonna try growing them in a growl bag. I have been seed them first inside but it just doesn't work. So I think I'll drop seed in the in the soil and see what it goes from there.

[@denisebal7201]

Need some advice I'm growing peppers. They're coming up so small, so just go. I have harvest some already , however, is it possible to re pot the seeds out of the peppers?

[@pappyjohn8142]

Curious. Where do you get your mulch or how do you deal with all the seeds in your hay/straw? Ive tried several “no seed” like blue mountain and they have as many seeds as what i can get at my local coop.

[@TheRipeTomatoFarms]

Hey pappy, I get it locally from either Buckerfield's or Home Hardware now. It rarely sprouts, its quite clean.

[@pappyjohn8142]

@@TheRipeTomatoFarmsis there a certain brand your getting? Mine sprouts horribly.

[@eleanorcasarez6561]

I planted green beans..but all I have are white flowers. My cucumbers are coming out..yay! I think they were planted about the middle if August.

[@TheRipeTomatoFarms]

Hi Eleanor, the white flowers turn into the beans! That's what you want! 🙂

[@whothefoxcares]

@@TheRipeTomatoFarms blame the bees.

[@eleanorcasarez6561]

@TheRipeTomatoFarms so how long does it take for them to form. I see something coming out of where flower was..

[@eleanorcasarez6561]

@whothefoxcares no bees...Giant grasshoppers!!!!

[@TheRipeTomatoFarms]

@@eleanorcasarez6561 on no! That's not good for pollination.... Although peas and beans can self pollinate.

[@da-gc]

No one has answered my question yet. Can I start or continue to grow bell peppers in September & on? I need to too do bell peppers stop growing when it gets cold & if so how to grow them still in cold weather but in a green house?

[@TheRipeTomatoFarms]

You should probably start with where you are growing. Sea level Texas, Florida, or Mexico? Yes, plant any time. Alaska or the Canadian Rockies? No. Bell peppers are a TROPICAL plant, one the weather hits 55F (12C), its over for them. In temperate regions, its grown as an annual crop.

[@KayBeee]

First frost date for my area is August 29 😂

[@TheRipeTomatoFarms]

OMG Kay.....where is that?

[@EdimentalGardens]

Really? Where are you located?

[@KayBeee]

Northern Saskatchewan. 54° N

Most grocery store beans will grow... Much cheaper. Grow what you want and eat the rest

[@robertstitt9493]

@Jeff. I live just south of Seattle. What is a good garlic to grow here?

[@sandyhayden-bristow1382]

Going to try new crop of carrots, some spinach and maybe a bit of lettuces for the younger leaves. Great video and a good reminder that there is still a chance to get some goodies going.🥬 It has been a tough season for many gardeners but fall is a good time to regroup with less pests to worry about. I've got some row cover cloth that can help protect my smaller beds from frost if need be. For those who do not want to do cover crops, cardboard is your friend.....just spike it down with some garden stakes and it will protect your soil from drying winds and cold temps. The cardboard also helps hold moisture.

[@TheRipeTomatoFarms]

@@sandyhayden-bristow1382 so true Sandy. I find that the worse the summer was, the better and more effort I put into the fall!
