It’s time to think about the FALL GARDEN

[@CurlyProverbz]

I actually love this woman. Found you yesterday, I have been binge watching. Your spirit is literally glowing and warming my heart through my screen. Love from the uk 💜

[@shellfisheh]

Ahhh the sound of rain drops falling on a lush garden. Doesn't get much more soothing than that!

[@heidiullman1571]

Hi, Jess. I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate you blessing us at the end of each video. It may just be a split second, but it makes me feel incredibly warm to know someone like you has the love to give to people they don't even know. Also, I am a novice gardener and hope to be as successful as you someday. :)

[@sunshineandshadow4560]

I love how Bear's like "Nope. Too hot in there" then lays down and protects Mama from the porch. Lol. Sweet boy ❤

[@Side-Quest-Workshop]

Man, I have had a crappy Monday. I clicked on this video and saw the rain on the plants and heard the first few guitar chords from Daniel and the tension in my neck began to melt. Thank you for being a true refuge from those with a case of the Mondays.

[@mrs.ashlyn8558]

OMG Bear at 3:35 when you don't notice him lmao he just lays outside. The cutest, sweetest, most loyal dog ever

[@saramonsterx]

please do more videos on starting your seedlings indoors, i need some inspiration lol

[@LadyBereness812]

My mouth is watering for a good old Fried Green Tomato sandwich! Walking thru your garden along with you just now is like a breath of fresh air for me. Due to being an elderly disabled woman I self isolated for 102 days. Then my sweet old dog passed and we made a brief trip to the Vet, then once again to take my younger pup for a shot & pick up my precious Fur Baby’s ashes. I made 2 brief trips after that but back to self isolating again. My Daughter & her Fiancé moved in with me temporarily & we have a nice Summer garden growing. Our Peas and wild Strawberries have been producing very well. Our Red Romaine and some early loose leaf lettuce did well. I live in the city but I live on a corner lot which means I have a huge amount of area in which to plant. This is my 1st time at this house putting in an actual “in ground” garden so I’m looking forward to planning with Daughter & Fiancé what we need to look for in order to start our Fall garden. We all love Brussel Sprout! Here in Ohio I’ve noticed this year seems totally different climate wise! I do have grow lights but thinking I need to purchase a few heat mats. I’ve also given it much thought about buying a Greenhouse but since I get a lot of wind being on the corner lot I’m not sure how well that’ll work for us. Your Zinnias are breathtaking! We were fortunate enough here in Northeast Ohio to have a day & 1/2 of lovely rain. Yesssss! Everything seems to green up beautifully. Sorry my comment has been so long. I’m waiting patiently for our Tomatoes. So far things are flowering; no fruit yet. Our Corn is knee high, green beans are looking pretty good. I think we planted our Watermelon & Pumpkins way too late but perhaps we can shield them from the frost. I’m telling you... Ohio has had the strangest weather I’ve ever seen in my almost 69 years. Our Cucumber plants are trying as are our squash & Zucchini. I may try more container planting next spring (in totes) as I have MS/Multiple Sclerosis and am unable to walk in my yard. I do have a very large wrap around deck and I’m picturing myself able to maintain that if I’m all alone come next year. Once again Jess; thanks so much for the garden walk along and for sharing your knowledge. I see your faithful Fur Baby. I bet he/she keeps you great company while in your amazing gardens. {{{ HUGGZ }}} ~Su. Plz overlook any typos I may have made. Along with MS, I’m totally blind in my left eye with issues beginning in my right eye along with several other diagnosis and typing from my cell phone! 😳

[@mumbaibalconygardenerhobbies]

You have no idea how soothing it is for me to watch your large garden and it's plants , I can dream about everything that I would love to grow both variety and quantity wise , something I can't do in my really really tiny balcony garden 🍃🌱💚.

[@KaribeCuebas]

I wish I heard the grow light issue before I started. I started my first garden late in the season and frankly it was a desaster. All plants were leggy and could not save even one. I was HIGHLY discouraged. But, as I continued to watch your videos I regained courage. Several weeks ago I bought a Root Farm Full Spectrum grow light and the difference has been remarkable. I know it's kind of late for summer crops but my squash zucchinis and tomatoes were transplantable within a couple of weeks and are looking great in my outdoors container garden now. I should have some harvest just in time for winter crops to be srarted indoors (with my awesome grow lights). I am now looking forward to my fall crops and most definitely my summer season using my wonderful grow lights to start early. Thank you for all you share and God bless you and the family!

[@pamelaticer2469]

Oh my goodness gracious! What's that sound? What's all that stuff coming out of the sky? Oh my goodness send it my way here 2 fabulous dry hot 115 degree weather Las Vegas! You know Jess, I'm so glad I found your channel. And you've got such a beautiful smile laugh and outlook on life. A wonderful husband and family and that little Ben I want to eat up! I actually look forward to your videos everyday and you make me smile in the midst of what I have to go through here with this is horrendous Heat. Especially this year. It's worse than it's been for a while especially when I'm trying to grow a garden in my patio after 5 years of Mourning. Thank you for my daily smile!😊

[@paperchaser9565]

I love the sound of the rain, and I love the fact that your dog is by your side

[@MsTony1402]

Growing your own fruit & veg is just such an exciting and addictive hobby! I can see you’re totally into it and so am I! lol

[@tesscoyle7200]

I could just listen to the sounds of your garden all day. Such a peaceful sound.

[@rebeccazody1278]

That Bear keeps checking on his momma. Can see him in the background many times. He is precious.❤️

[@stevebutler1835]

If you do grow under a light to prevent leggy plants put a fan by them it will help them grow stronger stocks

[@marytymoshuk7176]

Thank you

[@StaceyHerewegrowagain]

I love the way it sounds when the raindrops fall onto the leaves. There is so much beauty in nature all around us and we sometimes forget to slow down and appreciate the little things.💕 Thanks for sharing. I can't believe we are thinking of the fall garden already lol.. It seems to go by faster and faster every year.

[@tahliel]

Rain contains soluble plant available elements from the air like nitrogen, and none of the junk that's in tap water like fluoride and chlorine. We went nearly three years with only a handful of rain falls, but now that it's raining more regularly my garden is finally thriving!

[@samanthatorres9517]

Jess whenever you say "fall garden" ♡BIG SMILE♡...I hear..fall garden😁....fall garden😁...fall garden😁 You speak with such joy!🧡❤🧡

[@purplemb26]

Oh lovely. The sound of 🌧. ❤️❤️❤️

[@deewinston5651]

Jess you have helped to inspire me to at least try a fall garden. I’m in Houston so I’m really not sure when to put new plants for the fall out because it is so hot right now. Been 99 degrees. My beans are fried. Fixing to pull out. I took a couple of cutting from the tomatoes but I think my tomato plants are struggling with the heat. My eggplants and peppers are doing great, so that’s something. Love your videos and I love hearing the rain in your garden. You’re an inspiration. Thank you🥰👩‍🌾🌻

[@KyrenaH]

It's been so hot even my peppers are wilting.

[@melissalowry5147]

The garden is looking very happy with the rain. Thanks for the encouragement💜

[@Madisondmclean]

I make frost cloches out of milk jugs and soda bottles, Friends and family save them for me! I like this because I can cover specific things really easily! Protected all my stuff in the really late hard frosts in northern Michigan this spring!

[@Empressherbal]

I’m in Michigan also and have never thought of that idea 💡 you mentioned with the milk jugs! Very unique idea!!

[@Empressherbal]

I just love ❤️ Jess on KZbin !!

[@jessicahall6549]

What a great, eco-conscious idea! Will definitely try this!

[@karenlemley8656]

The garden is the most important and it is singing...yaaaay!!! Just singing in the rain!!!💛💛

[@forestnightstar]

I find your videos very comforting and they make me feel more confident. I lost my summer garden, I think a deer might have jumped in and ate it. I felt so discouraged and you putting this video out made me feel a lot better and I planted for fall garden today! Thanks for the videos🌻

[@jessicabatson8135]

I am glad you posted this video - I am in zone 9a&b. I actually started some of my seeds indoors yesterday - 6 varieties of tomatoes ( didn't have any big slicers for summer so fixing that!) , 2 varieties of cabbage, brussels sprout and some stevia seeds. I put in 2 orders of seeds from Baker Creek this weekend as I am a big planner too (my day job is IT Project Manager..lol). This will be my first fall garden and I am excited. I ran out of space in my regular fenced garden so we are fencing and tilling more of our yard :) Great idea about taking suckers from existing tomatoes and starting those! I really love your videos and look forward to watching them. Sweet Mia did awesome with eating that tomato - give that man some bacon!!! Watching your fall garden videos now! Have a blessed day :)

[@stephaniecurtis4249]

I'm in 9b. I started new seeds week and a half ago. Zucchini, eggplants, pumpkin, watermelon, green zebra tomatoes and ancho grande peppers. Happy gardening!

[@claireisacamel]

I have onions from the spring that barely bulbed up and then went dormant, so I left them as a “preplanted Fall patch” 😆 I also cut my Spring celery off at the soil and now it’s springing forth more celery! Hoorah for a jump start to the Fall garden!

[@arlenemiller7598]

Noodle beans and sunflowers. What an awesome backdrop! I have learned so much from u. U have really touched my heart. Thank u for what u do!

[@davidmoore7563]

Your videos always make me happy .. I learn a lot too, but I am smiling when I do it, and that makes it better.

[@espinosaj3]

I really appreciate you sharing this. My anticipated first frost is in 67 days so this is very valuable

[@takishasallbeautyzone]

This is THE year! I'm finally going to do it! I have said that I was going to plant a fall garden for years. How many times have I done it?...ZERO! But I've never even begun to plan for it, so of course it never happened. But because of you and your encouragement, I have been buying fall crop seeds and am so excited to see what the fall garden brings. Fall is already my favorite season. This can only make it better! Thanks Jess! Be prepared for all of my veggie/fruit IG photos that I send your way 😁.

[@kimberlyrobinson2660]

I got my first okra today. I decided since I only had 1 to try it raw. I love okra normally, but the mucilage got me. It wasn't bad at first, but the more I chewed, the worse it got. Kudos to those of you who like it raw. I think I will stick with roasted, grilled, or fried.

[@VagabondAnne]

NorCal girl here - my Okra has been pathetic for the last 3 years but I keep on trying. Not sure if it's my clay soil, cool nights, or just zero soil history with okra. I got one "Emerald" okra a few days ago and put it in a soup today. Next year I will try a variety from Oregon (www.adaptiveseeds.com/product/vegetables/okra/okra-burmese/).

[@Riverwytche]

Kimberly, same here! My husband loves it fried, roasted, raw, or pickled and I just cannot do raw or pickled...it's the slimiest stuff. Roasted is so good.

[@tbonky]

Thanks for being a cheerleader for the fall garden!

[@elbertajohnson937]

I love the rain like working in it I Garden in the rain. I am sensitive to sunlight (eyes) so overcast days are great for me. Like how for you have come on your garden

[@AnnaWagnerCarroll]

I’ve been going back and watching these at a time that makes sense for our growing season to try to see what I need to do next. This will be my first year attempting a Fall garden and I’m excited! Thanks for putting out such a wealth of knowledge and encouragement.

[@VagabondAnne]

My kittens want to love you up, they keep punching your face every time I watch a R&R video! Thank you for the reminder about tomato suckers - I will definitely do that propagation method this time, now that I have healthy plants. We are having a cool July (after a very hot April & May) here in Northern CA, so I want to be ready if it heats up later in the season, which it did the last 2 years, this seems to be the new pattern (weird, but OK!).

[@faithfoodchaos3118]

We are currently in Arkansas looking for our new home. We are in awe of how beautiful it is here 💙 I cannot wait to get my garden going here.

[@sharonpack4696]

Again, forgot about fall crops. Last year was the first year you taught me, and I had fall cucumbers, radishes and other things. Best fall ever. My grown children asks where I got them? I said I grew them. I said go watch Jess! Lol silly children never listen, they lost out. Yum yum. Thank you Jess. God Bless

[@nicolemcintosh9926]

Southern Michigan here, 70 days until our first frost date. I just planted Peas, Beets and Kale.

[@skilltes037]

Gardening is such a practice in patience. I have just started to get fruit and we are taking about fall gardens. It's crazy and definitely an adjustment from instant gratification.

[@wanderingtent]

I always appreciate your videos. I always glean something from them. Your passion comes out in your teaching and I really enjoy it.

[@kirstyhammond6033]

I think I found this channel a year ago. My summer had been a bust. Huge bug pressure (Japanese Beetle = no beans and Cucumbers, Squash bugs and vine borers = no summer squash. I think my peppers needed more water). I had 5 producing tomato plants and some huge sunflowers, and lots of okra. I fought for control over weeds in the open areas of my garden left by the failures. I watched a video about "What to plant in August" - or something like that, and tried. I also watched and learned and planned all winter long. I even enlarged my garden over winter - that is how much hope your videos have given me. This year has been a challenge. Obviously. I had successful inside starts - first time ever. We had that late freeze and everything seemed to slow down. I have 40 (three are struggling) tomato plants that are taking forever to turn color. I have cucumbers - I have already pickled a bunch. I have 3 varieties of summer squash. I have pumpkins and butternut and potatoes (first time attempting). I have no vision for my fall garden! I don't know where it will go. I thankfully wrote a very detailed planting plan last year - so I am going to blindly follow that! And I will have a harvest. So thank you. I bless you...

[@marinigrey4913]

Thank you for all of your great video's... I have never done a fall GARDEN but this year after watching how excited you are about it I am going for it myself... I'll let ya know how my seed starts turn out...

The nice thing about living in SoCal (Huntington Beach) we never have a 1st frost date :)

This is my first year of doing a big garden and minus what the giants and geese found their way to, I've done pretty good.

[@sharoncardenas5447]

I so wished you would grow some Brussel Sprouts...lol, you just said it as I was typing it!!! I tried last fall with no luck. So please let me know a couple weeks before you plant them. I'm going to try again. This time I'm gonna put them out in August. Last year I put plants out in late September. Not enough sun I think. But if I set them out in August, I think they should start producing when it starts to get cool. Thank you so much for teaching us!!! I'm 60 & you have gave me a wealth of information!!! Love & Blessings to the Sowards! 😇🌿❤🌻

[@cassiecasey6434]

I have been telling myself it's too late it's to late bit finally I got the motivation to just try (this is my first fall garden try 😅). Thank you for being such a motivational voice. I'm just going to try and see what I get and really just love the work 🙃.

[@aylamonic]

It's amazing to me that even though it's SO MUCH warmer where you are than where I am in Nova Scotia, your estimated first frost is only a week later than ours. We're quite temperate, being on the coast, so we don't get your heat but we don't get quite the same cold as a lot of the rest of Canada. The lesson I'm learning from that is that I need to lean harder into the cool weather crops and accept that until I have space for a greenhouse, I won't be able to have a super successful tomato crop.

[@numberonecomputergee]

Glad to see the rain. We are on week 3 of not rain and 95 degree weather. I can’t wait to see our water bill. The rain barrel is dry now.

[@kprairiesun]

I didn't have lot of money for grow lights so started with LED shop lights from Wal-Mart go $21. They worked just fine but I found out later that they only produce white light which is not enough for healthy plants. So, I bought a fluorescent shop light and Wal-Mart had replacement grow light tubes for $8 that said ok to use in a fluorescent shop light. Meanwhile I splurged on a small expensive grow light. Took it back and used fluorescent shop lights with grow light bulbs in them. Grew hundreds of plants.

[@janetrobison2765]

You always explain thing so people can understand and very thoroughly. Great information.

[@raylingomen2562]

I don't have an indoor space to start seeds, so I'm attempting to grow under a shade cloth, so far it's working well, I've had radishes, carrots, lettuces, and broccoli all sprout just fine in upper 90's heat, now I just need to keep them from bolting. My thought has been that it is generally 20 degrees cooler in the shade, so a shade cloth should bring the temp down to below 80, making it ideal sprouting temps. Lots of prayers that it'll work!

[@OMGitsaClaire]

Kale is a fall/winter garden hero! In North Alabama with just a little straw around the base I have kept kale from October through April as a cut-and-come-again crop. I like the Tuscan kale and it’s a great source of vitamins and minerals in the winter when nothing is fresh and everything at the store is expensive.

Jess, you can also ratoon ( cut back a little) your peppers and even eggplant to encourage another rush of veggies in the fall. I'm trying this for fall as well as leaving my peppers to over winter. I'll cover some and leave others out to the elements and see what happens. I'm in zone 9b and still trying to figure out what to grow when and what works best. Also, getting some shop lights for seed starting. They're bigger, cheaper, and some videos show they're just as good, if not better than some grow lights.
