Don’t Make These 5 HUGE Mistakes When Planning & Planting a Fall Garden

[@bettys7726]

I followed your advice on your fall gardening video in August. Planted my fall garden and it's doing great. This video is a great reminder for those who haven't planted it yet. Planning is key. Also want to say you are amazing! My garden this year has been absolutely STELLAR ! Thank you. My best to the fam.

[@goldenretriever15]

I am doing a fall garden for the first time this year because of you, Luke! Got my seeds from you already.

[@nathanpotter8569]

Thank you for answering the question I had a while ago. I had so many people tell me the days to maturity is from when you plant them... noted ... add together

[@beautyforashes2230]

It's all in the planning. I'm only in my third year of gardening, but my garden thrives and I harvest from fall into spring and then the cycle begins all over again - there are an amazing number of vegetables that survive and grow in winter, and I don't even have a greenhouse or cold frames. It's all trial and error and gathering a LOT of information, and then planning accordingly. Thanks for your channel here - I've learned so much from you, and also from your book! :)

What do you grow in fall and winter?

[@beautyforashes2230]

@@Abdullah-london Our growing season goes almost into November here in southwestern Germany, so in fall, most of the summer stuff is still out there. In the dead of our (mild) winters, I grow winter lettuces, mache, red beets, parsnips, various kinds of kale, carrots, turnips, red and white cabbages, winter purslane, swedes, salsify, Brussels sprouts, savoy cabbage, winter leeks, spinach, chard, root parsley, celeriac, onions, and winter radishes. Probably a couple more things; that's just off the top of my head. Our winters are mild, like I said, so things do well with a straw mulching and maybe some ground covers. And then there are the perennial herbs, and perennial veg like my everlasting kale and sea kale.

[@Abdullah-london]

@@beautyforashes2230 that's quite a lot of stuff you grow in winter! When you say 'mild' what temperature is that? Winter temperatures in London (UK) isn't too bad. It's that we don't get enough sunlight. I grew some aubergines this year but the plants were sitting there wondering what to do in June as it was wet month with hot and cold days.

[@theolddogfarm4677]

Thanks Luke. All good advice. I planted broccoli, beans and lettuce mid August and so far they are all doing very well.

[@barbaragall5395]

I'm using a cold frame...last year I had plants make it all the way thru winter...yes the plants stop growing while it is very cold, but they begin again once the weather begins to warm again...early crops are so nice....BUT a cold frame is something you MUST keep your attention on as it can get hot enough to bake those plants in one day so you must make daily adjustments for venting and closing according to temps

[@miriamrobarts]

Maybe you could try looking for an app that warns you when the temperature changes? As they say, "There's an app for that.", so I wouldn't be surprised if you could find a good gardening app with this feature.

I’m using Johnnys Seeds Fall planting calculator for seeds and transplants. It gives exact last planting date which takes the guesswork out

[@carolinerose5743]

Thank you for that information! I watched MIgardener's video "10 Crops You Can Still Grow in September" and was shaking my head because I was sure most of it wouldn't grow in my area that late in the season. Michigan must have better weather than the NW corner of WA State! Anyhow, according to Johnny's Fall Harvest Planting Calculator, the ONLY thing that could be planted in September in my area is radishes and they would have to have been planted by yesterday (good thing I don't care for radishes!). In fact, I planted some leafy green seeds in mid August, and the ones that have survived have barely grown at all... I'm talking a few small seedlings not more than 1.5" tall. I'm relatively certain they will end up freezing before reaching maturity or they will drown from all of the rain we're getting. Not to mention that the amount of daylight is decreasing rapidly at my latitude.

[@silverskyranch]

Still trying to figure out my 'window' for planting my spinach, radishes, broccoli and carrots. Fall peppers and cucumbers are already flowering with some little peppers starting to form, but with daytime temps still in the upper 80s to low 90s I know I still can't do the cooler weather crops yet. We don't even get frost here until usually mid to late November

[@jackiehorsley9263]

Luke that,s awesome I am glad you said that I did not know that you could add both of those together to know when to harvest I well remember that next time

[@culdesacgrocerygarden]

It’s really frustrating when seed packages don’t have all that info on them. I never knew it was germination + days to maturity, and planted beans 59 days before our frost date. Oh well I like living on the edge. Hoping for a late frost🤞

[@rayray8687]

M Callahan, it’s a learning experience. The seed packets often do indicate number of days after germination, but they also presume ideal conditions...and there is nothing ideal about the conditions of fall weather for garden planting in many Zones. The plants don’t just need 59 (or whatever) days of nice weather, they need 59 days of direct strong sunlight, and that simply doesn’t happen in the fall. You can try, but maybe save most of the seed for next spring.

[@buckykattnj]

If you need seeds locally, try Dollar General... They have cheap packets from Ferry-Morse... they aren't the best... and the selection is limited... so you might have to visit a couple locations to find what you need. Tractor Supply still had a pretty good selection when I visited at the end of August.

MI Gardener I live in Southeast FL . In December our temperatures are still in the 80s with cooler nights but our frost doesn't come till January even February. If I start planting now do you think I will get a harvest? My farmers Almanac says to wait till March should I follow that plan? I think I'm in zone 10 and so really confused on when to start planting.

[@jelatinosa]

Those almanacs and stuff cater to places with cooler temps. I bet you can pretty much grow anything with your weather right now.

[@shirleyk623]

I'm in Central Florida and have been gardening for over 30 years at the same place. I'm not a "Master Gardener" however, I'm starting my fall seed now in trays. It's like a trial and error situation for me. I know that might not be solid advice. I plant and hope they grow. The more tender crops like lettuces, raddishes and arugula I will put them in part shade. The more hardy crops like broccoli, turnips, kohlarabi etc., I will put them in less protected areas. It's like this, in my opinion if you listen to those seed packets you will miss out then it will be too hot again in Florida for them to mature. I hope this random bit of advice is helpful. Gardening is fun. I try not to stress out, if a seed doesn't grow or dies I just plant another one. Happy gardening! ☺🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋

[@milkweed7678]

My biggest problem is most of the time when it's time to plant for the fall garden it is to hot and dry to get the stuff to germinate or if some does germinate it goes to seed or just grows bad.Then when it cools down it ends out being to cold or all in the sudden you have hot weather again. It's to hot then it is just to cool to get good growth. Like there is no really good growing season in the fall from my experiences. Yes I do water but it's not like rain. But I keep trying. Thanks for the great informative.

[@stephrager7555]

It sounds like you are in Texas. :) We are still getting high 90 degree days here, I'm sure we will hit 100 again before it truly cools down. So what I've done here is really take advantage of some shade cloth or even some curtains or sheets. When I wake up in the morning I check the weather and I throw shade cloth over the really sensitive stuff if the weather is going to be too hot. Another thing I do is continuous planting around this time of year. In this way I take advantage of micro greens. For example, I plant a lot of seeds and as I thin them out I snip all the biggest seedlings first and use those as my greens. This makes space for the next smaller seedlings to get bigger and by the time the weather has gotten cold enough there are already healthy plants growing. Another option I've been playing around with is planting on the side of my house that gets a lot of shade in the summer time with only a small amount of morning sun. Things grow slower but they aren't burned up by the sun. Then when fall and winter are here, there is more sun on that side of the house so they can grow a little faster. This side of the house needs less water since it is shaded in the hottest part of the day.

[@miriamrobarts]

Maybe you could try starting plants indoors, then "harden off" to acclimate to the heat (instead of cold) when they get big enough to survive outside. We're beginning gardeners (& we have hot, dry summers, too), so that's what we are trying. Fortunately, we just got some cooler weather. I've also heard of using shade cloth when it's really hot. Good luck!

[@stephrager7555]

So here in VA they said we will have an unseasonably warm September and out frost date is October31st....which is making me feel like it will be impossible to have a fall garden. It's hot but if I wait then I run the risk of having nothing. Anyone have any advice?

[@organicloves]

I'm in NC, having the same issue, finally got my collards and cabbages to act right. If your starting seeds, plant them in cups asap(it might be too late, you will definitely need something cold hardy this late in the game), sit the cups in the shade. The shade is key. Just transplant when weather cools a bit or when the plants have a few good sized leaves. The other more certain option is to call around to local nurseries and see if they have any cold weather crops for sale. I found a nursery that has 4 packs of cool weather crops for $1!

[@shellig5388]

Hi, mid September here in Kentucky, but we are in the 90’s.... what to do????

[@michaelsoltesz3779]

Right. I am in East Tennessee and just started gardening THIS year. It is being TOO HOT for TOO LONG(still 90+ here) and it doesn't look like "fall" will be long enough to grow anything...like 30 days or less or proper temperatures... I am just going to plant some kale and cover crops and basically just "wrap things up" for the season. I didn't realize that fall doesn't really "exist" here anymore! But I didn't grow up here...

[@Donna_G]

Up to a couple days ago, our temps were in the 90s. Everybody kept telling me that it was too hot to plant my radish or carrot seeds; so, I didn't. Now, that the weather has cooled down, I can go ahead and plant; but, I think that the first frost would hit before they were ready to harvest. It seems like in our area there is no consistency as to when the first frost happens. Sometimes it can happen at the end of September and sometimes not until the end of October.

Maybe a dumb question, but how does it work when you have spring plants that are taking up the bed right up until directly before a frost (my tomatoes)? Can you plant fall seeds in-between them and then cut the old plants down instead of pulling? Or can you just not get a fall garden in those beds?

[@jelatinosa]

I think that's a great idea. Plant around them. You can at least try it, see what happens.

[@stephrager7555]

YES! get those fall seedlings started between them and then chop those spring plants. I would suggest never pulling plants. The roots actually add a lot of nutrients back into the soil and keep soil more fluffy.

Yes, Patrick Pepin is right. In my area, it's "Home Depot" & "Lowe's". He's talking about big home improvement stores. The term "big box stores" can also apply to stores like "Target" & "Walmart". Big Box stores are usually one huge rectangle, with a warehouse kind of feel (some are more finished and some are more warehouse-like, depending on the type of store), and they have several sections within the store. (For example, Home Depot would have lumber & fencing, paint, plumbing & bathroom / kitchen fixtures, cabinetry & countertops, doors & windows, large appliances, garden center, outdoor furniture, tools, etc. While Target has shoes & clothing for children & adults, health & beauty products, pet supplies, stationary & gift-wrap, housewares, some furniture, baby items, toys & games, electronics, candy & snacks--and sometimes other grocery items, etc.)

6:56, “I trust my experience...I’ve done this now for three years...”. Well, many people have done this for more than 50 years - farmers, gardeners, homesteaders - and while nothing the narrator says is untrue, and much of the info could be very helpful to beginners, it is all Ag Zone dependent and none of this information is valid in upper Zone 5 for instance. There is no such thing as a successful fall vegetable crop from a late planting in the upper Zones and above...unless someone would like to correct me?

Ray Ray he’s been gardening more than three years, he’s just been having a second summer planting of squash for three years. We do it in Arizona with success and I guess I’m in zone 9b

[@rayray8687]

Jocelyn Soria, that’s exactly my point. In Phoenix, for instance, the full growing season can be as long as 9 months; in upstate NY, about 4 months. That’s a huge difference of literally 2 seasons to 1. Migardener is obviously in the business of selling seed but also appears to be selling false hope to inexperienced gardeners (like himself) by not revealing his location or Ag Zone upfront and failing to caution people that his “advice” will work only in certain areas. My advice to anyone in upper zones buying seed for second planting - experiment and have fun but keep most of the seed for next spring...you’re going to need it.

[@jocelynsoria2590]

Ray Ray he’s not inexperienced, maybe he hasn’t been gardening for 50 years but it’s been much longer than 3 years. Just three seasons with this method. He isn’t giving anyone false hope, he’s saying to pay attention to your frost dates and other things’ days to maturity. This will be different for everyone and every crop which is why he says to pay attention to your first frost date and not “in this area do this and in this area do that”

[@rayray8687]

Jocelyn Soria, gardening advice without location is useless. It’s like telling the doctor you hurt but you don’t know where. I believe when he gets a bit more experience he will be able to tune his videos and work on the fact that only a very tiny percentage of people live in his backyard. If he wants to sell to a nationwide or worldwide audience he needs to study up a bit beyond his own backyard.
