Growing a Fall & Winter Garden - How/What to Plant

[@honeybunz4353]

Finally someone in Sacramento! Since we're in the same city I will be able to follow what you're planting as the seasons change, so I can plant them too! I love your "metal fence" trellis! 😍 I'm going to do that next year!

[@urbanfarmstead]

Yes! 🙌🏼 it’s always great to have local sources! I highly recommend these trellis 👍🏼

Dude...great tour! Love your seed starting setup Kyle

[@urbanfarmstead]

Thanks Kevin! This seed starting setup has far exceeded my expectations! I could not be more pleased with how simple it is to start seeds and how well it works compared to starting everything in my hoop house like I did before.

[@shakengrain1942]

@@urbanfarmstead Do you grow your seedlings completely under the grow lights, or do you rotate them outdoors to the sun any before the hardening off phase?

[@urbanfarmstead]

@@shakengrain1942 yes, all under the lights

How do hey Kyle, how do you keep your seed starters plants watered while you are gone fighting fires? I have found mine dry out almost every other day.

Thank you for your service as a firefighter! The garden looks great. I've had a lot of pest pressure this year but hoping my fall garden is healthy 😊

[@l.e.1220]

So glad you’re here in Sacramento. I am in Wilton and my husband and I are new to gardening different vegetables and fruits. Thank you, I am learning so much from you.

[@urbanfarmstead]

Hi! It’s great to have a local garden community to share our experiences.

[@Kischme71]

Oh and how lucky to be gardening in a zone 9! Zone 5 here, hardneck garlic in 2 weeks ago and carrots are only thing left to harvest. I grow lettuces indoors over winter. But for us now is the time to rest, dream and plan.

[@urbanfarmstead]

Yes, as a gardener I feel very fortunate to live in this zone.

[@ndrunningriver]

Thank you for your service. Glad to see that you’re happy, and back home safe. I would love to see a video of how you manage pests in the garden. Do you have a hard time regaining control of your plants from pests if you leave for a period of time or are not able to get out into the garden as much as you would like for a couple of weeks? Thanks.

[@judyr7582]

Hi Kyle, I thought for sure I would see peas. I live in Auburn right up the road from you. I planted pole for the peas and a bush variety for the shoots. I don't know why I never thought of carrots this time of year but it's logical being that it gets hot so quick. I too got a late start because of the fires but more from a health perspective. We has very low visibility for weeks the smoke was so thick. Thank you for your service Kyle. I don't know how you do it. We deeply appreciate all our police and fire for keeping us safe.

[@urbanfarmstead]

Hi Judy, Yes, peas are also a great winter crop in this zone and in fact I’m actually hoping to get mine sown tomorrow. I’ll grow them on my trellises. We’re fortunate to still have a bit of good fall planting weather to get more crops in the ground. Happy gardening!

[@cathleenbaldwinmaggi2252]

Stir fry swiss chard with cubed sweet pie pumpkin and some sweet fresh onion... soooo good! I also add swiss chard to pasta sauce, eggs, pretty much anything most people would add spinach to. I don't like how spinach gets so mushy when cooked, so I use the chard instead. Also (and I'm just south of you in Stockton) I grow my kale as trees all year long for several years.

[@urbanfarmstead]

Hi, thank you for sharing! That’s a great point that Swiss chard is the perfect substitute for spinach!

[@kaisenji]

High desert gardener here and yeah, it has been crazy here. Agree, set up is how it is done!

[@urbanfarmstead]

Yes, a bit of foresight, planning, and hard work up front will set you up for success and save lots of work later in the season and in the seasons to come. Happy gardening!

[@kathsflowerpatch5220]

I can tell by the comment section, that many of us are happy to find you. Seems like a lot of gardeners from zone 9b can be confident in following your advice. Thank you for your service.

[@urbanfarmstead]

Thank you! Yes, it can be challenging to adapt garden advice from gardeners in different zones. I’ve been growing in 9b for sone time now and although there are certainly differences throughout our zone, I’d say it’s a pretty great one to be in.

It's good to see that you're safe and happy, I live in SoCal and I know how devastating this fire season was. I hope that you continue to stay safe out there, thank you for your service. Also I highly reccomend perennializing your pepper plants so you won't have to seed them next year and they are already established at the beginning of the season. It usually provides me with higher yields and better tasting hot peppers.

[@urbanfarmstead]

Thank you so much! I’ve done that with my peppers before but normally I choose not to because I rotate my crops.

Experimenting with the best tomato pruning for 19 years in San Diego, growing on steep slope. 4’x 8’ steel mesh from HD (used for concrete) - sits in between two stakes vertically, 20” above ground. Clips. Let grow first 2 shoots of each tomato plant = three trunks tomato plants. Next 2-3 shoots let root in water - future plants. All the next shoots on three stems let grow to the first bloom, than cut tips off. So far this gives me the best crop. I do not prune cherry tomato.
