Does Dale ever snore? I only have a dachshund now as I lost two dogs last December. He makes these cute noises that are hard to describe. I had a dog that passed away in 2006 named Chewbacca that actually had a doggiemare. I have never heard howl like that since. I miss all my guys that have left me so much. Unfortunately it's a fact of life. But I always enjoy the "Dale" part of your videos a lot. He is always just so adorable no matter what he's doing. Thank you so much for making all the great, quality content that you produce. Much love to you and your family from Locust, N.C. ❤❤❤❤

What's growing on gardeners? Idk fungus maybe???

[@BainMage]

I’m down in central Florida and started my hot peppers too late. The sun is brutal, your shade cloth videos are turning it around. Thanks dude!

[@TheMillennialGardener]

Even the mighty hot pepper cannot take the full sun of the Southeast. It's even too hot here in Wilmington, NC. Peppers LOVE shade cloth in July/August. I'll take mine down in 3-4 weeks when UV falls below 9 again, but for now, it's a life-svaer.

[@BainMage]

Solid advice. Thanks for all of your detailed information. Love your channel.

[@elberbelbers]

I figured out the hard way peppers don’t like blazing hot heat and sun. Their ideal daytime temp is 70-80 degrees and they don’t like humidity either. Once I started growing my peppers in pots and I can move them around and adjust their shade and I put 2-3 plants in a single large pot and I fertilize appropriately, they do great! I grew 7 different varieties this year and they’ve all done pretty well, except poblanos and pepperoncinis are just now coming in; may be normal though, I’m not sure.

[@Josieb4008]

You are not too late. Pepper plants are perennials and can be overwintered to produce every year.

[@UVIcki]

I kept some of my peppers in containers over the winter. I put them out on warm days and brought them in when it was cold.

We have always planted corn every 2 weeks, and always for the fall. And fall vegetables make the absolute best canned vegetable soup, canned with tomatoes, add potatoes when you get ready to make the soup. And add water to it about one quart to one quart of the canned soup.

[@ObsessiveAboutCats]

I always love your videos, but this might be one of my favorites. It's been so hot this year, I sometimes have trouble remembering that eventually the heat will break and cooler weather will arrive. Thank you in particular for the suggestions on the specific types of spinach and peas; I will be acquiring both of those ASAP, though it will be a while before I can start the spinach. Your new fancy camera seems to be working well. You were crisply in view, and I could clearly read the labels on the seed packets you were holding up; additionally, the garden behind you was in focus and looked very nice. The image seemed very stable and the colors were good.

[@TheMillennialGardener]

I've tried really hard to put things into perspective. Yes, it's hot in the summer, but at least there is recreation and things are alive. Before we know it, we'll be complaining about the cold. I'm trying to stop myself from wishing my life away like that and enjoy the moment more. I'm still trying to figure out the camera a little. The bigger sensor and better lens lets in so much light that I'm getting washed out. I'm trying to figure out the right f-stop, shutter speed and ISO to film at to tone it down, because the little LCD screen makes it look better than it does when I download it to my computer. It's definitely a learning curve.

[@PattymacMakes]

@@TheMillennialGardenera little tip on filming video on the dslr is the shutter speed is a fixed rate at 50. You’ll make your adjustments using iso and f stops. Generally when it’s bright, you’ll need to put your iso on 100 and stop your aperture down to f8 or higher. It’s difficult to get a soft background in the brightness of the day because you will have to stop down so much. You can get something called an ND filter which is basically like putting sunglasses over your lens. It will take out some of the brightness and give you more flexibility in setting your f stops. I like to shoot as wide open as humanly possible so if I have to do anything outside, I wait until the end of the day or when it’s overcast. This isn’t a practical production schedule given the amount of uploads you produce. You might try setting up under the shade cloth to film your next couple of videos to get a feel for the adjustments you CAN make while working around that 50 shutter speed. Plus the light will be filtered under the shade cloth and light your face more evenly. I hope that helps! This video looked great for a first attempt and I am only sharing this info because you hinted you had a bit of a learning curve. I can totally relate with that! There’s a relationship between iso and shutter speed which is why making the settings of 50 and 100 is helpful, but I have adjusted the iso higher at times because I mostly film myself on camera in doors and we get a lot of cloudy days here. I appreciate your videos and I pulled my fall seeds last night. This helps me better organize what to seed start today and what to sow in a few weeks. I think I’m going to try the corn as I obtained an allotment in a community garden this year which gives me a lot more room to experiment in. I’m pulling out some tomatoes this week and getting it weeded so ordering the corn and Brussels sprouts to put over there sounds like a good idea. Love your channel! I’m also 8a but further north from you in Virginia Beach.

[@hazeysgarden]

I live in south Louisiana we still have over 100 days before our first expected frost, so I’m starting tomatoes, all sort of stuff. I really can’t grow much cold hardy stuff hear bc it never actually gets cold

[@TheMillennialGardener]

You certainly can. I think determinate varieties will do better, though. 100 days sounds like a lot, but tomato growth slows down big time as the days cool off and the day length shortens, so indeterminates usually don't do well in fall (except cherry types).

[@Chris-op7yt]

I've been winging it all these years. setting up cell trays of seeds, and planting them out. i think i'll finally draw up my veggie patch rows and work out what i'll grow on paper first, according to preference and adjusted seed spacing on packet. it wont take all the complexity away, as i dont have a 100% clean slate at each season, i have rows that warm up late due to being shaded in spring, and different veggies take different amounts of time to be ready for planting out. but i think a printed out template annotated with pencil on what will grow where for the season, should help a bit.

[@readbooks9985]

Calypso Cilantro takes longer to bolt. Highly recommended if you have a problem with cilantro bolting too fast.

[@TheMillennialGardener]

I've never heard of it. I usually grab whatever is on the shelf at a big box store for $1.79. I may have to research more varieties, but I can tell you that any cilantro is going to be one of the first plants to bolt in spring. It likes refrigerator temps.

[@Doss2k]

Gonna give Florence Fennel a try again this fall. Just got done cleaning out most of the tomatoes and pulling off developed suckers and transplanting them in hopes of a second round of tomatoes through the fall. Also got some more squash and okra in the ground. Giving my first round of cucumbers another 2-3 weeks and then will pull them out and start my succession sowing of snap peas.

[@AnenLaylle7023]

Going to challenge you on the carrots, bud. Clemson extension recommends to start planting fall carrots August 1-15th and I am in the southernmost part of South Carolina, so quite a distance south of you. The reason for this is that carrots take so long to germinate. If you plant carrots in late August they won't really be up till almost mid-September. I've been selling carrots commercially for years in South Carolina and I sow them from August 1st - September 15th. The ones I plant in September I overwinter. The hard part about carrots this time of year is getting good germination. I run overhead irrigation for 30 mins every 6 hours to get a decent stand of carrots. I generally cover the rows with row cover (no hoops flat on the ground) to keep the moisture in, but it's been a little too hot this year for that. Usually I try to wait till we get a rain spell in early August to plant the first go round of carrots. Everything else you've said is correct as usual. Thanks for the good content.

[@TheMillennialGardener]

If you place carrots on top of the soil, cover them with a board, then hose it down every day for a week, they will germinate in 7 days. Carrot sugar development is tied to temperature. The cooler the temp, the sweeter they will be. You can grow carrots all year long in the Carolina’s, but summer carrots are starchy. If you want sweet carrots, they are better the later they mature.

[@AnenLaylle7023]

@@TheMillennialGardener Bro, I grow carrots for a living, you aren't telling me anything I don't already know. The germination depends on the variety and whether or not you use pelleted seed or not. I use pelleted seed and it generally takes around 10 days for the carrots to pop up. I plant carrots in 50 ft. rows so using a boards to cover them would be cumbersome. I have overhead irrigation that solves the drying out problem. As far as sweetness goes, carrots planted in August don't get harvested until Thanksgiving and by that time we have had a few frosts and are just as sweet as overwintered carrots. I definitely do not plant them in the summer though, because they do taste like crap.

[@lisazappolo9989]

@@AnenLaylle7023 Why pelleted seed? What is the advantage other than ease of sowing and less thinning?

[@AnenLaylle7023]

@@lisazappolo9989 Hi there Lisa. The two advantages you posted are the reason. When you are planting a quarter acre of carrots by hand you want to make the process as quick as possible. I have a seeder, but I really just don't get very good results, even with pelleted carrot seeds. I should also mention that I cover the carrots rows I plant in with potting mix, not natural soil. This was a trick I also learned from Clemson, and I get an average of 93% germination. I'm currently working DIRECTLY with Clemson on a program in SC called Feeding Innovation. They are helping me upscale my farm and, if all goes well, I will get a very large grant! I'm so close to being able to farm fulltime! Dreams can come true!

My guess is summer becomes so oppressive that people are excited to feel relief. I've always struggled with the Fall weather because of the short days.

Also, thanks for the tip on the Chinese pink celery variety. I have grown the green Utah celery, but they have been challenging. They like a very small amount of soil on top of the seeds and they are a tough seed so you need to use very warm water to soak them prior to planting.

Does the decreasing day length affect the total days to maturity? We’ve been overrun by cucurbit pests and have resow out of necessity. They’re covered…we’re hoping for the best.

For my zone (6) I read that Brussels sprouts needed to be started indoors in June to transplant in august…I guess you would disagree?

[@TheMillennialGardener]

In my experience, things "speed up" in the spring whereas they "slow down" in the fall. You need to front-load the growth with the expectation that growth slows down come mid to late September. My October, it's noticeable, and November is a crawl.

I grew coriander all summer in triple digits here in West Texas. I just watered 2x a week :)

[@nancyshray4383]

Your the best! I live in Jacksonville Fl and you tips and guidance work so well for me, really appreciate it!

[@TheMillennialGardener]

I'm happy to hear that! Our climates and temperatures are very similar.

[@TheeRustyCage]

Appreciate this. First time grower this year and I’m excited to see what will work for me in Upstate SC this fall

[@TheMillennialGardener]

Congrats! I wish you the best of luck. Savor the successes and learn from the mistakes. As long as you don't quit, there are never any failures!

[@angiemendoza5711]

Just love your channel. You explain things so well…..great speaker!! I’m in Utah and this summer has been tough on our Garden…..you’ve inspired me to try some fall planting!!!

[@TheMillennialGardener]

Thank you! I appreciate it. I strongly urge you invest in a few shade cloths given your location. This video will help: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mYCQhmStjqyNbrM

I'm in zone 10a/9b in west central Florida and I have had good luck this Summer growing Tetra Dill and I found Slo-Bolt Cilantro or Long Standing Santo Cilantro to work well in warmer weather, if kept in partial shade.

[@seanmedic1]

good knollage thanks I live in zone 8 so im looking for a fall garden as its begin August and still in the 103s

[@1LuckyGirl1975]

Bakers creek seed buyer too 😂. I also like ordering from snake river seed cooperative.

[@vickinorris5878]

I've discovered amaranth - green and red - heat tolerant, bolt resistant. Just needs a little shade. Quick growing, too!

[@veggiepatchideas]

Interesting to see what your sowing over the pond. Great Stuff😀

[@TheMillennialGardener]

Thank you!

[@Sewmena918]

I am going to try snap peas for sure. Maybe beets, too. This is my first year, so I don’t have many containers, but I want to try at least a couple of things.

[@flyfishdr]

Add Arugula to the list...plant September in Zone 7 Also last winter we hit 6 degrees one morning...all of the kale survived no problems

[@twinoaksfarmpoultry]

Thank you for the great tips & info! Much appreciated! God bless y'all!

[@TheMillennialGardener]

You're welcome! Thanks for watching!

[@jo-annjewett198]

I am looking forward to my fall garden but it stays hot here through most of September. We usually get a freeze around Christmas but some years we don’t.

[@TheMillennialGardener]

Shade cloth seriously changes things. You can plant a whole month early and get a huge jump. It has changed my garden forever!

[@hyacinthABC]

Same here. Are you seeding anything now? If so, how and where?

[@danielroach1241]

Dude. You are the man.

[@TheMillennialGardener]

I appreciate it! Thanks for watching!

Love you channel. Moved from Nashville , TN to Pace, Florida. Was very successful with my Maters and squash... Down here a different story. Planted early batch and failed. Using a raised garden. Starting over with 2 determinats and 1 cucumber. Planted a bush determinats a couple of weeks in pot. Doesn't look like it is growing. Watering every day and letting it soak thru pot. Should I let it dry out for awhile¿ Yes, put mulch in top. Just bought some fish fertilizer for new stuff that I’m planting. Suggestions or videos I can watch.

[@TheMillennialGardener]

It is likely a sun issue. Plants can't grow in the Florida sun in summer. It's too hot. I strongly advocate using shade cloth: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mYCQhmStjqyNbrM

[@MrWonderful50]

@@TheMillennialGardener Thanks ordered shade cloth today.

[@pengyou26]

This is my first time growing Brassicas let alone planting a Fall/Winter garden! I’m short on space, so will be reusing my raised beds. Once my Summer plants are done producing, what do I need to do to prepare my raised beds for my next set of crops?

[@pamanderson2956]

Such a helpful video! I am in DFW TX - currently baking hot - but I think we are in the same zones. First year of gardening so this helps so much. My contractor is going to put together my shade cloth she’d like yours. When is a good time for winter squash?

[@bessiefaircloth6147]

I'm in middle of N.C one of your videos I think you said you could grow potatoes in the fall. Is this so or did I dream it 😂 haha. Thanks for the advice about gardening.

[@novastar369]

In about mid-july I started more cucumbers and snap peas and green beans in zone 7A ( north NC )but it sounds like I might have been a little early. Thanks for the inspiration

[@TheMillennialGardener]

You can always plant more. I grow, literally, 4-5 waves of cucumbers here in Wilmington.

[@tamikanguyen4474]

Thanks love all your videos

[@TheMillennialGardener]

Thank you so much!

[@JohnnyVMcPhersonII]

Thank you Sir

[@VermiCast_Garden]

Great video. Thanks for sharing.

[@TheMillennialGardener]

You're welcome!

[@SannyAnnie]

Always happy watching you (and Dale, of course). Your former home must be near mine - southern NJ, outside of Philadelphia. A garden is practically mandatory here! Grandpa Angelo always grew beautiful vegetables (he came from The Old Country, of course). I'm trying fall zucchini, at your suggestion, and I planted "winter" squash a bit later, so they'd grow into the fall. Growing tomatoes and squash up the strings, as you showed, is working really well! Here's to trying new things!

[@TheMillennialGardener]

I grew up in Atlantic County and spent most of my youth around the Hammonton area if you're familiar with that general location. It's a very Italian American place. Lots of blueberry farms and Italian restaurants.

[@diamondtbar9818]

Thanks for the video! Have you done a video on what veggies "get along" with certain other veggies, and those that don't? I know that it's best to plant certain veggies together, but I never remember the pairing.

[@nancynorris1084]

I direct sowed cucumbers and yellow squash (8a) a week ago. I have one cucumber through the ground. Twice this week though, I have seen a few seeds uncovered on top of the soil. How did that happen? What should I do now? Can I just poke them back under and cover?

[@bon3y4rd]

This video is very helpful.

[@TheMillennialGardener]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!

[@NeboAllen]

Another great video of helpful info!

[@TheMillennialGardener]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@feliciakim442]

Love your channel dude, I'm new to NC. But I've been growing the asparagus bean here in NC, they grow very well .. im happy with these beans try them if you haven't already.. they are good and tasty

[@TheMillennialGardener]

I've never heard of them. I'm not a big bean fan, personally, but that's just my personal tastes.

[@patkrueger7353]

This is my first time planting for fall. I hope things work out. For some reason my zucchini fid not grow well. I dont know what happened. All my squashes. Butternut spaghetti even my gourds and jack be littles. All raised beds have the same soil etc. Im replanting some so i guess ill see. Any suggestions? Thanks for your videos. Love Dale. I like watching our dog dreaming also. She even whines and stuff.

[@TheMillennialGardener]

Congrats on your first fall garden. My advice is to keep it simple and the expectations low. The first couple seasons is all about experimenting with timing. Savor the successes and learn from the mistakes. I've been growing stuff almost my entire life, and I mess up the timing all the time, but we still get a harvest. For your squashes, I would check the vines over for bore holes. It could be they got attacked by the vine borer.

[@patkrueger7353]

Thank you. Love your videos

[@hyacinthABC]

My soil is testing 90°F and my house is, too (no central AC). First frost date isn't until December 21 but I don't want to miss the boat for my favorite fall veggies. What should I do - start them in the fridge? A flower grower I know does that with some things.

[@TheMillennialGardener]

Most of these plants will germinate fine at room temperature. If you struggle, you can pop them into the fridge at night and take them out during the day to simulate fall weather. The key to your success will be doing things like starting from transplants instead of seeds because it's just too hot outside right now (except for corn and string beans) and using shade cloth to your advantage.

[@hyacinthABC]

@@TheMillennialGardener Thanks, I'm just concerned about starting seeds when it's 90s indoors - above their germination temperature. Hasn't worked so far on my basil.
