I agree with you on the time frame of when to start a fall garden. It really needs to be as early as mid July to early August. Last year I started much later and ran into problems when the cold weather came.

Yes video plus blog article is the wave of the future

[@jefffarris9238]

One thing to remember with timing as you get into October and early November is, even if the temperatures are still fine for these cool weather crops, there is less light per day than in the spring. Carrots, for example, might take 90-100 days or even longer to reach full size. Last year I started some in September 1st, but that was too late. I only got baby carrots by the time the hard frosts came in early December.

My first frost in zone 8b Nov 15. However Austin, TX is known to be hot up until Christmas sometimes. So should I start cool weather crops end of August or Sept? I emptied out my containers, washing them and preparing for fall. Collard green are naturally a little bitter. Add a tablespoon white vinegar or a little sugar and it will cut that. See southern style recipes.

I planted spme Kale, about 2 wks ago, for like the 1000th time, still have none for me to eat, I am training my chickens to stay out of my garden. It has sproutted, i covered it with some hardware cloth so the chickens could not eat my seeds...😂🎉 now i have tiny Kales & Chards❤

You should plant some for the chickens. 😁

Oh my, at my house, no kale survives beyond an inch if the chickens know it's there. 😅

I believe I told you that an activist destroyed my mother's garden. Today, I pulled up my squash except for my Baby Butternut and Burgess Buttercup squash which still have fruit ripening on the vines. I also removed my cucumber vines. My new cucumber transplant is beginning to climb the trellis, and I have more cucumbers sprouting. My Late Nagasaki Cabbage seedlings have sprouted, and I'm waiting for the Hilton Cabbage to sprout. I sowed seeds for two zucchini, a crookneck squash, Danvers, Navone Gold Rutabagas, Purple Top Turnips, Tokinashi Turnips, and Cantaloupe. Next on my planting list is potatoes, in two weeks. In mid August, I'll plant Komatsuna, Pak Choi, Kohlrabi, and peas. In September, after the temperature has cooled down a bit, I will plant lettuce, and Malaga Radishes. The Malaga Radish has the best roasted flavor, and they are purple. I'll also sow seeds for my winter tomato experiment, Early Girl Bush, Tom Thumb, and Black Krim. I will also transplant six pepper plants into the polytunnel to see if I can keep them producing all winter. So far, the best producing peppers have been Hungarian Yellow Wax, Jimmy Nardello, Corona di Toro, and Lipstick.

[@nickhayley]

What activist???

[@jaytoney3007]

@@nickhayley Take your pick, Antifa, BLM, Globalists, Environmental activists. It isn't a random high school prank. I live in a rural area fifteen minutes from the nearest town. My mother's garden isn't the only rural garden to be sprayed with glyphosate in the local area.

Hi Gary, when should I start shelling peas outside?

[@theheardhomestead]

Cool weather crop, check your 1st frost and how long to harvest. Then you can do the math on when to plant and get a harvest

[@stoshstanowski977]

So I had to pull all my pole Lima twenty some plants because rust starting in early July and all my bush beans about another fifteen plants because rust .and I started all my tomatoes by direct sowing witch I normally do not do because of rust and other diseases I’m very frustrated wit this year. and I don’t no what to do here we r almost in august my question to u is their something I can do over winter or fall to prevent these things from happening again I would be much appreciate ur insight and expertise

[@THERUSTEDGARDEN]

You can stop them but you can start spraying 2 weeks early before they arrive. That is the best method. But nothing to stop them from being in your garden or showing up My blog The Rusted Garden Journal is now getting some TLC. Ill we posting new garden articles in there several times a week.

Gary, can you advise how to grow lettuces and herbs indoor throughout the winter? I’m in the Pacific Northwest in Oregon on the west side, I believe it’s zone 8. I’d love to be able to harvest and feed my family fresh lettuce all winter. Thank you!

[@jefffarris9238]

You probably have to grow them under grow lights because there is so little light in December and January.

[@carolynegan5916]

@@jefffarris9238 thank you Jeff, luckily I have some grow lights!

It seems like a "sales pitch" I recently got my wife into gardening, which is a big deal. Anyway I I sent her your video and the first thing she said was, I don't like it when they try to sell you stuff like garden hoses on reels. I tend to agree and this having to go other places to fully understand the video and the teaching is not a good idea. Love the channel 🙌

[@THERUSTEDGARDEN]

LOL sometimes they are but, I need the income. So I do space them out. But I use everything I really show for sale. Have her watch a few more please to see the balance. Good luck in our garden.

[@victoriasann1772]

I hate this phone. Using Petunias planted between Squash plants. Planted 3 in a row. 1 petunia died, caused creation egg layer produce eggs no longer living. Other two are fine. Hard time for Cucumbers this year. Bought pickler seeds, got one pickler plant, rest were 3 yellow squash seeds. 1 week ago, started early yellow squash, packaged said yellow crooked neck. Have 10 seedlings out 15 seeds planted. Do have a petunia planted between seedlings, see what happens.
