@@whitneybrown4670 I'm in So Cal 9b. Not sure where you are located. We only have 2.84 inches of rain for the entire year. I water every AM and PM from June til September.

It makes me happy to see life and I'm sure it will you too! 😊

[@Lochness19]

@@dianaanderson6448 We get about 2.5-3 inches per month for the whole growing season in my area of the Great Lakes, so we only water newly sown beds and recent transplants. The main struggle for me this fall has been keeping cabbage moths out of my brassica seedlings in August till now (just picked 3 of them out this morning). So I'll have to get some covers probably if I want to keep doing this. Otherwise, parsnips look great, fall cucumbers look promising, salsify is coming along, and kohlrabi and broccoli look decent too. The other tricky thing is animals seem to favour a lot of the fall crops. Brassicas, lettuce, umbellifers, beets, peas... all popular with them. With the tomatoes and cucurbits grown in summer, it's mostly just bugs and mildew. And with eggplant, okra, peppers and malabar spinach, I've had basically no hassles whatsoever. I'm hoping to keep some things going in winter. The selection is more limited for those, but I'm planning on claytonia, corn salad, winter rye and fava beans (last two just as cover crops), as well as indoor microgreens. I can see the hardier fall crops like komatsuna and cabbage being killed off in Dec-Jan, but then I can start some tubers in the greenhouse in February, and nightshades in March.

Zone 5b, southern Maine. I started tomatoes, peppers, beans, aparagus and lots more. Most everything did great. I have no complaints and a journal full of notes. This is my 1st garden, I didn't want to invest in an indoor set up, I have a cat and a Britney spaniel also a grandson under 2. LOL. I watched so many winter sowing videos, it was my solution. Im doing this every year and going to plant even more varieties. I'm 100% addicted to seeds now too. I've made me own wire cloches, I have hula hoops and even the wire lawn sign holders used in elections. I will be using those items with row covers. Yesterday I planted lots of seeds in containers and my raised bed, I have a green house that is 2x4. To put on, it will extend my Fall season too.

[@emmacrouch714]

From ontario Canada but lived in the Yukon and cold growing (-30+*c in winter) . A lot of things like kales will overwinter winter and be harvestable even with cold temperatures, I find what kills them is the freeze-thaw- freeze cycle of early winter. If the winter is heavy snow and cold fast they will last clean through if your lucky. A lot of what you can grow is more overwintering than active growing, a lot of brassicas, herbs, carrots and other root vegetables will "over winter" ( die back but re-grow in the spring) rather than be harvestable through the winter. I will say that there is many a story of someone's grandpa pulling frozen carrots from the ground for soup in the winter (covered in hay or fall leaves).

Unfortunately plenty ragweed and grass has invaded also. Fall will have to be clean out and prep for next spring. 👋🏼😊

Can't wait to see what happens this year. Dang weather! 😄

Love your kitchen garden plan. Winter planting is under appreciated. The other thing to take in to consideration in calculating days to maturity in the fall is day length which diminishes daily and adds days to your expected harvest. Good luck in your new adventure.

If you are worried about frost in Nov./Dec., you can use a double layer of frost blankets. Frost blankets will probably be more necessary in Jan-March for our growing zone. I have just stocked my supplies via Amazon. I used to drape them over 1-1/2 in. PVC over my beds. This year I will try the metal hoops instead. In my experience, weather dependent; for Zone 7-8, you can grow all brassicas and cold tolerant lettuces, etc. and most root crops Fall through April/May. By May, the weather starts back into the 80's and sometimes the 90's! Brassicas I can keep seeding throughout the winter. I start seeds (indoor) for Spring in December-Feb. for outdoor planting under cover. I no longer follow the 'planting after Easter rule' here because it it already a missed window for many plants by then. Good luck with your gardens!

[@katiemansfield973]

These are all great tips. Last year was the first time I had a fall garden. It was fun. My broccoli from ended up being just ornamental because it froze during Uri.

in the Netherlands we grow Brussels sprouts and kale and leave them until the first frost. We only harvest it when it has frozen. It makes sugars in the kale and Brussels sprouts that you would never get without this frost. And they taste so much sweeter. Brussels sprouts and kale can handle freezing temperatures and snow just fine. Here in the Netherlands we leave this vegetable until after the frost for the sweeter taste. If you have the opportunity, try that with 1 or 2 plants. Worth trying! winter temperatures here vary from -5 to -15 degrees Celsius

If you have bermuda grass at all, you might want to add like 4 more inches of mulch before you fill your beds. Just speaking from personal experience. Bermuda is the devil incarnate. X-D Thank you for teaching and inspiring me so much these past few years!!

Nice to see that garden glow back in those eyes, the homestead is starting to take shape! Good job

WINTER HARDY GREENS!! Baker Creek Seeds sells a wonderful green that does not require even a frost cover in Winter in our area. Check out Tatsoi on their website. It is so sweet, tender, and can even be used to make salads replacing the lettuce. Of course Landis Winter Letter is extremely hardy and we grow on the Cumberland Plateau in TN without even a frost cover. They do great in snow and ice which we have from time to time in our area. You should give these 2 a try for late Fall and Winter!

Hi Jess. Seed starting trays, have clear plastic domes and they work like a mini greenhouse! If you don't have one, your bud in NYS also just covers with plastic wrap for convenience. This will protect your soil blocks from separation, melting with rainfall. There are inexpensive mini greenhouses, they look like shelves but also have a clear plastic zippered jacket ( I have one of those) and it was about $40, maybe you can find it on clearance. I like your set up but my budget does not allow me to buy too many fancy things. I make do. I hope your kitchen garden works out for you. Don't forget to just use a 18 gallon tub, line the bottom with 2 litre bottle types discards to filling in volume. I drill holes an inch or so from bottom for drainage., Cover the bottles with something stiff like heavy cardboard and that should suffice to putting in garden mix( lightweight mixed with peat) I bless you!.

We are in the midlands near you. My parents would buy cabbage starts and plant in February and harvest in spring.

I bought that same Drunken Frizzy Heady Woman lettuce for just the same reason Jess! :D Up here in Canada (Ontario) its frozen right through for us small gardeners. You can't work the ground and the frost hits everything really hard. Right now I'm growing my autumn sowing things that I started up in August to enjoy up until *usually* October. It gets gloomier then too, so it can affect our daylight hours that most plant need. Having crops you can grow in low light conditions are great for the last few growing months. :)

Where you are planting against the house, I see a covered deck and the porch that exists being turned into an enclosed sunroom/portico. I can’t I see it now 😂

I have the same tall garden bed! I grow my kitchen herbs in it - so nice! I’m excited for you to get your mini-gardens growing and your landscaping begun. 💗
