August Garden Guide - Everything You Can Start From Seed Or Plant in August

[@904islandgirl]

I love these videos that focus on one veg or plant. Very informative! Thank you!! 🥒

[@JerrasGarden]

Thanks for watching 😊

[@odivarela9147]

I’d love to see full tour of your yard explaining directions of planting and sun exposure

[@Hannahsunshine-]

You've convinced me to sow indoors. I added a 5 tier shelf in front of my window. The heat/elements have stunted my seedlings in the past.

[@JerrasGarden]

Nice! Whenever I sow indoors the transplants are always the healthiest batch.

[@CristalMermaid]

Really good list. Thanks for all your videos they gave me the push to start my tomato and pepper seeds this week. I was feeling a little burned out with all the pests, diseases and heat but now I am slowly starting to get on top of it 🎉

[@JerrasGarden]

It gets easier. Don't give up.

[@neverendingharvest6413]

fall and winter gardening is by far more enjoyable. less pest and weeds.

[@JerrasGarden]

I totally agree!

[@pcngo1]

Killer growing skills with a dope garden that backs it up! Official first summer season under my belt and more success stories with your help. Keep up the great work!

[@JerrasGarden]

Awesome! The September guide is coming out this Friday :)

[@tinal7573]

Very Lovely Garden 🏡

I've been growing Long Island Cheese pumpkins earlier in the year and despite some worm pressure, they've been exploding. Now for my fall garden I'm growing Seminole pumpkins, more Long Islands, and as a test, Connecticut Field pumpkins that I will monitor heavily from pest pressure. Wish me luck on that one lol

[@JerrasGarden]

Nice! I will have to try growing the Long Island Cheese. How was the flavor in your opinion?

[@ZE308AC]

l always thought that culantro would grow best in summer but now I know that I have to sow seeds in october

[@JerrasGarden]

I know culantro is more heat tolerant than cilantro but I find it still grows best during fall, winter, and spring.

[@ZE308AC]

​@JerrasGarden, Thank you

[@beckymartinez9926]

I’m trying Caribe cilantro. It’s supposedly heat tolerant. I have them sown indoors and outdoors. I can’t wait to see how it does in this heat.

[@Rosalyn-z6t]

So true my garden beans did nothing!The heat put a beating on them!I had shade cloth,still the heat!

[@Annie3AAA]

I just subscribed to your channel. I’m in savannah, 8b close to 9 enough. Love your content and garden knowledge.

[@JerrasGarden]

Hi and welcome!

[@theherbalashpot4194]

New subbie. I’ve been having a time with my brassicas in this heat. I started them indoors and have been putting them outside for a few hours on my screened porch but even that it’s way too hot. I ordered covers to cover them. Amazing video. Thank you so much!

[@JerrasGarden]

Thanks for subscribing! I just did a live garden class all about how to grow brassicas in warmer climates. You can find it in the live section of my channel.

What do you use for whitefly? They are just horrible in my 10A Port Charlotte area.

[@nancycaldarola3090]

Hi Jerra! I’m loving all your info! Thank you! I’d like to polarize one of my raised bed garden spaces before I transplant in Sept / Oct. I purchased your recommended husky plastic sheeting wondering if you have a video on how to properly put this down? I’m in FL 10a zone. Is it as simple as laying down and pinning or stapling around the wood slabs? Than you!

[@JerrasGarden]

Hi. I took a weed eater to clear out the taller grasses and weeds in the area and then laid the plastic sheets down over it all. I used the extra long landscape hooks to keep it down on all the edges. Can also place heavy items around the edges to keep it down. I will have to make a video soon.

[@bethb8276]

I have started some Malabar spinach from the seeds of my mature red stemmed Malabar vine plant, they are growing fast. I'm wondering if you have any recipes for them? So far I have tried them by first cooking up some bacon, removing bacon and then cooking the onion and Malabar leaves in the bacon grease, removed it, and added all three things to things like eggs, or potatoes. I enjoyed it but I'd like more things to do with it.

[@JerrasGarden]

I harvest the leaves when they are very young and small to toss with some other greens to make a salad. Or I have sautéed with kale and mixed that together with diced up roasted butternut squash and roasted pepitas for crunch.

[@bethb8276]

@@JerrasGarden Thank you!

[@odivarela9147]

Can you tell us what direction N S E W you plant thing in your garden for example where are those miniature eggplants planted in your yard

[@JerrasGarden]

I dont really pay attention to N S E W....lol I just plant according to sunlight requirements. Study your garden space to see what spots get full sun or partial shade etc.... I have the Thai Lavender Frog eggplants planted in full sun.

[@sandyanderson7973]

Jerra I’m in Orlando top Zone 9b. Do you recommend using the heat mats under the the seeds you sow indoors or the seeds in your enclosed patio?

[@JerrasGarden]

Hi. I only recommend using heat mats with the warm weather crops. If your sowing outdoors, and its very hot like it is now, the warm weather crops don't need more heat from a heat mat to germinate quickly. Usually I use heat mats when I sow seeds for warm weather crops in doors during the winter.

[@Miranda-jk5wc]

Do you plan on having the Jamaican strawberry tree seeds on your site?

[@JerrasGarden]

I have a yellow Jamaican strawberry tree but at the present time, I don't have seeds or plants for it on my website. It is normally propagated thru cuttings. I will some day though ☺

[@susanparker-heitel702]

Coastal 9b Florida and we are experiencing all time drought. Crazy as eastern parts of the county is getting rain. Not us we are under God’s umbrella.

[@JerrasGarden]

Oh wow I didn't know. I'm definitely getting plenty of rain here in central FL.

[@pinschrunner]

Central West Florida. Huge drought exactly where we are. Rains all around us daily. We get the thunder drama but are behind 17" of rain for the year

[@CainCrafts]

Probably a very stupid question but do you puncture holes in your solo cups for the seedlings?

[@JerrasGarden]

Not a stupid question at all. People ask me this all the time. I use scissors to cut three holes on the bottom of the solo cups.
