I love seeing this. I have struggled so much with my spring/summer garden, and ended up losing almost everything. In my own platform I have been taking the opportunity to change some things and also teaching that it is okay to start fresh this late in the season. I love hearing the knowledge I am sharing (that I learned from you and Jess and others) echoed back. Wishing you abundance. Keep on encouraging!!!!❤️❤️❤️

[@sunitashastry5270]

I like your idea about succession sowing, just a few minutes a day. I tend to wait to have more time to do this, and that way I miss many opportunities and find I have left it too late to plant.

[@ntfhomestead8651]

Those pots are so cute and such a great price. I got purple and pink so my gilrs can easily recognize who's starts are who's!

Was about to abandon winter efforts but you convinced me I need to plan and create a Fall garden. Thanks Jill. from CA🏖

[@tinatippin5705]

Excellent vlog today. I have never planted a fall garden before. I also didn't realize how long of a growing season we have in zone 8b! Estimated 213 days. However, we are in the Puget Sound area of Washington State, so we have a lot of grey days to contend with. But still, 213 is a lot more than I thought we had, so I am excited to see what happens. Planted bush Blue Lake green beans this morning in the space left by disappointing bush peas. Not a failure because I now know that our peas will come from the store frozen and I will plant something that yields better in their place. Tiny, tiny garden space so it matters greatly. Thank you. Oh! Can't wait to try the wiggle test on my Zinnias! Giggling all the way.

[@Grubby4894]

Thank you for all the encouragement,I travel for work and struggle finding enough time for everything when I am home , but I just do 5 mins here and 10 there. Plus it’s a great mood booster just being in the garden.🙏🏼🌻

My cucumbers are still producing, but I planted another round o cucumber vines last week. I have tomatoes sprouted, ready to tke the place of my determinate tomatoes. My second corp of beans have sprouted and are growing. Earlier this week, I planted New Kuroda carrots, Kyoto Red carrots, danvers, Purple dragon carrots, Uzbek yellow carrots, Navone Gold rutabagas, Purple Top rutabagas, and Purple Top turnips. Later this week, I will be planting more tomatoes. I'm in central Alabama, it is scorching hot, and humid.

@@WhisperingWillowFarm Do you have calendula salve?

[@lynhyslop6933]

For annuals, you should check how many days until your first fall frost date and compare to growing time needed for the plant you want to grow. You can extend the time by using row covers or greenhouses.

Is you fuchsia made with fermented dough?

[@charliehoos9773]

I picked up a few basil starts to pop into the Greenstalk where lettuce peetered out due to the heat. When it’s cooler in the afternoon I’m replanting the baby pools (where I harvested potatoes this week), but unsure what I want to put in. Snakes like to hang out around the edge and I prefer to give them space to not hear me scream in fright. 😂

[@snickerdoodles5974]

Almost evetything. Even tomatoes and peppers if you get started plants. Probably not winter squash.

We love ❤️ ya’ll from here in Joplin, MO. I was so laughing bath yours seeds in a basket❗️😂You MUST be a seasoned gardener when you haul your beans around in baskets. I have like 6 baskets 🧺 different kinds of seeds in categories. I have to move them around with the shade or run them back into the house. But all summer I’m the baskets of seeds lady, lol 😂. Oh man thank you for the mutual laugh. We are certainly not alone.

Hello neighbor to the north. You plant those pole beans

[@justines2775]

It’s not your zone, that won’t help. You need to know last frost date. That will tell you how long you have.

[@frontyardfoodwithgardenergray]

Good for you for starting new plants! I lost all of my summer crop. And am starting fresh right now as well. Grow abundantly!

[@charmainemrtnz]

If my brassicas have not yielded fruit of any kind yet but are starting to have signs of growth should I let them continue and hope something happens or should I pull and replant??? They are in GreenStalks. 13 of them.

[@WhisperingWillowFarm]

Let them grow but maybe start some more seeds to transplant just in case

[@charmainemrtnz]

I only have 65-70 days left. So far I have not harvested anything except lettuce from my GreenStalks. Are they glorified strawberry/flower growers? I just don’t want to keep throwing money at something that’s not gonna work. I’m having really high temperatures right now. I’m very sad.

[@charmainemrtnz]

I live in Huntington Oregon. Maybe things produced in Tennessee won’t work in Oregon/Idaho.

[@Just-Nikki]

What quinoa variety are you growing?

[@daleservidio2034]

I can’t get my carrots or beets to bulb out. Why? You think if I watered every day that would help?

[@WhisperingWillowFarm]

That would definitely help. Our drip irrigation helps ours

[@juliamorrisey5541]

When you have some garbanzo beans to harvest can you include a look at what they look like and how to tell they are ready? I had not considered growing them before but wee also like hummus so it might make sense depending on how much room they take and how much time they take to mature. I have a small space so I really try to max my production potential.

[@angelaraum1545]

I really didnt think peas could be planted until Fall.

[@angiewilson584]

So grasshoppers like bean plants? So that is what happens to my beans everytime I plant them. They sprout really fast, start growing, and then they get destroyed by something. But I didn't know what. But I have alot of grasshoppers around the garden, so it that it? What else do they eat? What can we do to get rid of them?

[@WhisperingWillowFarm]

Succession plant

[@lindag4484]

"Who doesn't carry pole bean seeds in their purse in their car?" I'm about rolling on the floor right now 'cause I can identify with that! I just started sowing a few things for fall, spinach, more kale, and (my favorites), Xalbadora and Monte Carlo romaine lettuces from Johnny's Seeds. (love their pelleted seed - spaces perfectly) Cheers! Love your videos!

[@tericamcginnis5848]

I keep hearing about planting in July and August. I still wait for first wave to mature! They didn't have a decent start cold wet weather! I'm enjoying greens. Beans are only about 10 inches high. Brassicas bolted when the heat hit. Peas grew some. I just want my first crop to mature!!! However, I do plan on planting root crops for winter. Eating raspberries and strawberries though.😊 love the garden videos. Thanks 💙😎

I remember last fall/summer you did a video on how your family preserves greenbeans in ziplock bags..was it on instagram or here?

[@sowinggracehomestead4506]

I tried this method and they were absolutely DISGUSTING! they had some weird taste, i will never freeze without some sort of blanching. Canning is my preferred method tho.

[@WhisperingWillowFarm]

It was part of a video. That way works for us because they don't last long in our freezer. If you are looking long term, then I would definitely blanch first

[@dannag8178]

Really enjoyed this video. We’re in Western Washington so we have a long growing season temp wise but way to much cloud cover. Can I grow in a high tunnel for longer without bright sunlight?? Thank you!

[@meganmackenzie5993]

I took the Growing Gardeners course from you and Jess last year, and I am confused by your use of the word "zone" in this video. What I understood from your course, "growing zone" only matters for perrenial plants because that term only denotes the lowest average temperature a place reaches in the winter. But, you seemed to be using "zone" interchangeably with "region," as in summer heat maximums and number of growing days. Was that word use just a slip, or am I missing something in my understanding?

[@melissagannon5711]

People do this all the time. Zones only refer to winter hardiness. Think perennials. Veg gardening only needs first and last frost dates.

[@RTCPhotoWork]

Even if you're in a cooler zone, you can still start now. Beans, carrots, beets, broccoli, cauliflower, salad greens, spinach, cabbage. Start now for those cool crops.

[@WhisperingWillowFarm]

Absolutely

We have so many they have even started killing my green bean plants. Thousands of them no exaggeration.

[@barbaragoodman1789]

Love to know that too !!

[@angelaraum1545]

Diatomaceous Earth. Its a powder. Also Captain Jacks Deadbug. A preventative is Neem Oil, maybe for next year. If you do above do in the PM. When the pollinators are not out as these will kill them. Just be smart how you apply it. Like dont put on blossums or flowers. Also look into companion planting which helps with pest. This year ive done that ive havent seen any pest. I have a small garden so i can check on everything more than others.

[@addiebrown7883]

[@barbarasmith9380]

You are not correct. In freezing areas a high tunnel doesn't help when it is temps we are talking about. The plants get a wind and snow free environment that is true bue the cold temps will kill or destroy most crops. Some perenials can survive but carrots, beets, and most brascicas won't survive in a hard frost that lasts many months. I am tslking from personal experience here in Sweden. I even use several other layers of row cover and the plants die.

[@RTCPhotoWork]

She also said you'd need to heat it.

[@perplexyasmr5493]

She specifically said you can heat your high tunnel

[@barbarasmith9380]

Unless its a professional type of tunnel heating doesn't work either here in northern Sweden. A regukar tunnel just doesn't hold the heat unless you are willing to spend thousands of dollars every month and you have built thr professional tunnel with a way to not leak out all the heat.
