Plant Your Fall Garden, the Lazy Way! // 14 Tips for Success!

[@Cherylsminifarm]

Anne, I’m a firefighter and watching you with your weed torch made me laugh so hard. That’s how we all learn though. You are awesome. ❤️❤️

[@Dfordgirl03]

That made me laugh too😅

[@wcouch8]

Tip, you can weigh down your cardboard with an old plastic gallon milk jug that has been cleaned and filled with water. Put a hole in it, and it will keep your cardboard moist.

[@AnneofAllTrades]

@@wcouch8 brilliant!

[@HomesteadJapan]

We don't have big jugs of milk here, but I do have quite the collection of 1.5L PET bottles that just go in the recycling. I'll have to give that a shot as we have very strong wind here (and nowhere to get mulch so far)

[@WithrowUrbanHomestead]

I love this tip! Fall sheet mulching with cardboard is the secret to my abundant garden.

[@elsathal7359]

Thank you for sharing ✌🏽💖🤟🏽✨️🧚‍♂️

[@jdmc1v1c60]

Fair warning. I did this, and water bug roaches came. Wet cardboard is their favorite. It was pretty traumatizing 🪳🪳🪳

[@kfrazman1]

I luv ya like a twin sister....AND you were a little hard on Swiss Chard. For those who hang on her every word, here is some additional info: Just 1 cup (175 grams) of cooked Swiss chard contains (3Trusted Source): Calories: 35 Protein: 3.3 grams Carbs: 7 grams Fiber: 3.7 grams Vitamin K: 477% of the Daily Value (DV) Vitamin A: 60% of the DV Magnesium: 36% of the DV Vitamin C: 35% of the DV Copper: 32% of the DV Manganese: 25% of the DV Iron: 22% of the DV Vitamin E: 22% of the DV Potassium: 20% of the DV Calcium: 8% of the DV

[@outsidestuff4867]

Lol yeah that’s about the only thing that bothers me about this video hahahaha I love chard and always have it growing all over my garden. Along with lots of garlic!!!

[@Gardencook5]

Thank you for this breakdown!

[@WillPellKB926]

Thanks for standing up for Swiss Chard!

[@chickadeeacres3864]

Yeah! Swiss Chard is easier to prep than spinach.

[@yesstar6307]

I thought chard had nutrients, thanks for the details. Maybe it was a joke, or maybe it was good to say that so people would comment, which is good for the algo 🌎☀️

[@StephanieMcCamon]

I love this wonderfully educated woman who is so willing to put herself on to teach us and is honest about the previous failures that helped her learn, so we can learn. Anne, i love watching you and I totally appreciate you 😊 ❤️

[@AnneofAllTrades]

Well shucks! I’m so glad to have you here.

[@elund408]

last year when I saw that lettuce was $2 a head, I bought seeds and planted them. Almost no growth, (too hot ) this spring I had a great crop of a variety of lettuce due to last year's seeds.

[@beckymay439]

75 days left! This is hilarious. We already had our first frost last week, plus spring frosts into mid-June. My entire growing season this year was about 60 days. Cant wait til I get a green house!

[@nathanenns7186]

We too experience frosts well into May-June but we still do garden beds in the back yard. Just have to start everything inside and put up with the living-room garden for a bit 😂

[@bijou737]

Anne, you are funny! I find myself snickering through your videos because of your sense of humor. Cheers!

[@adognamedmoose]

I like a little pasta with my garlic. My kinda girl!

[@RegulusIan]

Your positive attitude and relaxed approach to gardening is infectious. You just make me smile every time. I'm going to expand my garden (again!) and have to go back to your Start a Lazy Garden From Scratch to get the steps correct. Thanks for all you do. Cheers from Ontario!

[@SavvyGirl515]

🦃🦃❤ Also, I love your "weird english", cause it is super similar to my own! 😊 Okay, I keep editing as I get farther into the video, but omg I love your personality. Makes me smile and helps make my day a little better and helps make my future feel a little brighter and more doable than yesterday.

[@myhounddog]

😂 oh Gosh you are spectacular ❤. Love your channel ❤

[@hdavis587]

Swiss chard with garlic and tomato sauce is the best!! Try it before you toss it.

[@portaamber]

I, too, believe butter and garlic are major food groups 😅❤

[@AdrianaRodriguez-ux3yq]

I'm loving the overalls.

[@libbysmithstudio]

I'm in Florida 10a, which is different planting due to pests and ridiculous UV, but I learn soooooo much from your videos! You are funny and informative. Love your channel!

[@wendyberg1569]

You are such a delightful person! I love watching your videos. I told my husband, "I wish I lived near Anne. We'd be great friends!" :)

[@morgancarpenter2304]

I have fallen in love with your channel. I feel like I'm following a friend around the garden and your passion for gardening and your humor make your videos so fun and easy to follow along. My mom and I enjoy watching your videos together thank you for the content ❤

[@eternalfizzer]

Just what I needed to plan my (lazy) Labour Day gardening! Imagonna soak some peas tonight and broadcast a medley of spinach, radish, carrots, whatever after I clear the goutweed from my raised bed in the morning. (It's been lying fallow these 4 years since the COVID distracted me.)

[@GypsyBrokenwings]

Mosquitoes still like me, lol! I plant garlic in fall and harvest in June. I have full bulbs if i plant in good soil. If it's too sandy, they're really small. I've found grocery store garlic works fine.

[@mountainsandmayhem739]

It will grow but I found that the grocery store garlic comes with high probability of diseases.

[@marieruble408]

I believe it's elephant garlic that takes 2 years. Regular garlic hard or soft neck takes 240 over cold period 😊

[@bradjorgensen5869]

You are so authentic and real. I love your pumpkin patch! I love all your videos!

[@oranjwon4437]

Just found this channel, and 3 videos in I'm In Love🥰 I just inherited 1.5 acres of mostly gardenable land, some Old, Sad Fruit trees a Grape Arbor. Been fighting some disabling neurological issues from an old injury, my gardens have been SO crappy for the past 5 yrs. This is so much help, (and a few other cool gardener channels!) I don't have the body to do the arm work any more, but I try! I just need to learn the Willy Nilly of it all!

[@kristen.maclennan]

I absolutely LOVE your channel. I have been watching gardening videos for years and yours is the best EVER. I will be watching your channel exclusively from here on out. Thank you so much for putting your wisdom and humor in the world!!❤😊

[@Angie-ci1lp]

Anne! You’re the most cheerful influencer gardener keeping💯💯💯 No mistakes in gardening just a learning opportunity!Yes Thanks for sharing 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@DanaDelSol]

You remind me of Kristin Collier of Collier Connections. She, too, is a lazy gardener and finds joy and well being along with delicious food in her garden!

[@heidiwheeler9917]

Anne, you are so cute and have such a precious personality!! When you said "there are no mistakes in gardening, only learning opportunities!!" And then stopped to question why you didn't learn the first 30 times, I felt so seen and not alone 🤣 I am notorious for not really learning from my mistakes!! But listen, I recently heard someone say "repeating something over and over and expecting a different result is not the definition of insanity. It's the definition of PRACTICE." I loved that so much!! Hope you do too!

[@thespiritgardener]

Swiss chard eating suggestion - I found this delicious garlic & vinegar dressing that I put on my sautéed Swiss chard. Takes away the bitter so my kids will eat it. Same thing with spinach. Vinegar & garlic male all things better. 😂 Love ya! You and Howdy crack me up.

[@RobertoJuanSurMontana]

Weed torch cranks!! I started this Scandinavian approach about 15 years ago and have not needed to use my Rototillers since. I had 2 top named machines, so gave one away and the other is just sitting in the barn.

[@cbalan777]

I've only watched a couple of your videos but this is fast becoming one of my favorite channels. It's entertaining and informative.

[@please-wake-up-now]

Haha, love the laid-back vibe of this video! Your tips seriously make gardening seem so much less stressful. 🌱✨ I never thought about letting plants go to seed, that’s genius! Plus, can we talk about how you make Swiss Chard sound so bad yet so good? 😂 Definitely giving that a try! 🌿

[@maddys3955]

I’m starting my seeds this week in north Florida 😅 with lots of mulch and compost. Hoping for the best 😊. Thanks for your video 👍🏻

[@jennyadee913]

I adore you and am learning so much . I will never ever again move my moldy wood chips again without awareness . Set me back a week and 1/2.

[@DanlowMusic]

The comment about Swiss Chard and then the Torch. Had me rolling. Thanks for the laughs and the sarcasm along the way of teaching.

[@yvonneellefson]

"Who would've ever thought ... I would have uttered a sentence like that?" I had to skip back just to make sure you weren't having us on and saying "uddered" given prominent cow placement. 😂

[@AnneofAllTrades]

Hahahaha DANG IT! Major missed opportunity

[@victoriagallas1955]

You are such an inspiration and advocate.💗I agree on the chard, I laughed out loud because I recently decided I’m never planting it again 😊

[@kirstypollock6811]

Looking good! Envy your long season! Theoretically, I have 2 weeks until the first frost. Actually, it's going to be 26-30C for the next 2 weeks. Probably. Maybe in 10 days it might also crash to 10C. Who knows. I've started almost all the outdoor autumn crops already. I'm hedging my bets, have salads AND a last set of beans!😂😂 Last 3 years, actual frost turns up mid October. A couple of days, then usually gets a bit warmer for a few weeks. Kills the tomatoes etc and remindse me to plant garlic.

[@rock5138]

I love the way you organize your seeds! Mine are strewn around randomly in ziplock bags.

[@tinad6812]

I loved this video. I smiled the entire time watching. Yes, I always use a bulb or more of garlic when cooking. I loved the blow torch scene. Priceless. Thank you 😊

[@BumblebeeFern]

This was probably the most helpful and inspiring garden video I’ve ever watched. We finally got our garden beds set up (and a pumpkin patch area finished) and I’ve been feeling kinda depressed that I don’t have enough time to really get anything exciting out of it. Will definitely be out there tomorrow throwing medleys of seeds around 😆 Also, your overalls 🥹

[@AnneofAllTrades]

Thank you for watching, that is quite the compliment! Happy planting! :)

[@BumblebeeFern]

@@AnneofAllTrades I should also say, I’m studying to be a botanist so I’ve watched my fair share of garden videos 😆 but you present everything in such a fun way and this video came at the perfect time! Your garden and style is a beautiful chaos 😌 I hope you take that in a positive way!

[@AnneofAllTrades]

@@BumblebeeFern that’s so wonderful! anytime you wanna get nerdy about soil or plants or mushrooms or minerals with me, I’m always game ❤️❤️

[@BumblebeeFern]

@@AnneofAllTrades girl I’m always down to get nerdy!😜🤓 just came inside from planting way-too-late corn and throwing some veggies, seeds and cover crop seeds around. Thank you again for your inspiration!!

[@caroljohnson145]

I have learned so much from your lessons. Thank you. Have gotten my garden set up now with the wood chips. Hoping for the best!!

[@trinaflamm2038]

Girl... you are such an inspiration to soooo many. Beautiful, smart, talented, full of knowledge, growing in wisdom daily and a great momma to all of God's beautiful animals that are under your care. I pray that you know the Lord Jesus so that I can meet you in heaven some day. You are AWESOME! Great videos! My orchard thanks you with the planting and pruning info and the lazy gardening is super! May God continue to bless you in everything you do.❤ Both of you!

[@sal4gal]

You are a joy! I am a geriatric gma and want to grow a few veggies 😅. You make it seem so attainable! Thanks!

[@zannaB60]

I have to disagree with you on the worth of Swiss Chard. I actually love it in salads, on sandwiches, soups, and sauteed with butter and garlic. Yummy!

[@tashaking8907]

It’s great you are living your dream. I learn so much from your videos.

[@dougcharles6845]

Great video for me. I had no idea there was a garden hose with a quick disconnect. Gonna love this!

[@jennaluedecke9574]

I have just found your channel! I loved your personality in all your advice! Look forward to more!

[@Frances-dr5gh]

Anne, THANKS was remaining TRUE to SELF, and I LOVE watching what you bring to gardening. Plus, you've validated a lot things in the garden that I've tried with success. And a good friend once said, "Cheap is good, but Free is better" and I never forgot that; I also harvest when I'm out and about. Playing around in my garden has taught me so much. I'm truly my Best when being out in nature.. Keeping You and Adam in prayer. Happy Gardening!!!

[@Marilou-g5t]

Last Child In The Woods, a book, discusses the importance of getting out in nature. You might enjoy it...

Yes! Fall garden time!

There's no such thing as too much garlic

I absolutely 💯 % AGREE. 😊❤

[@bettykuykendall4779]

I love watching your channel. I am in Arkansas 7b. I have learned so much from you!! Enjoy knowing you don't have to keep your garden so cleaned out. I have a very small yard but want everything you have. Lol no not happening.

[@erinclerico3170]

Maybe I will garden some day. But in the mean time I love watching you do it!

[@justynwolf6402]

so much fun here! your teaching style is the bee's knees. We've been gardening for decades and are still learning. Love your channel, your humor, and your coveralls (where do you get those by the way. wink wink). thanks for sharing your lazy gardening know how.

[@tannyaSA]

Can you do a video walking through your seed collection and storage process

[@marikalombard7289]

Thank you for the amazing garden content! I'm holding thumbs that you get lots of pumpkins 😊😊😊

[@sarahbabcock8188]

Wow- you so down on chard ! I think it is great lightly fried in olive oil.

[@brendamarques1555]

Take it up a notch by adding some garlic.

[@courtnez]

​@@brendamarques1555...a whole head of garlic lol

[@emilymarthasorensen1516]

Thanks, Anne! This was a great video. One pedantic nitpick I want to make: around 13:30, you said that plants in the Brassica family aren't root crops. There are two reasons this isn't universal. The first is that there isn't a Brassica family! (Laugh.) There's a Brassiceae family and a Brassica genus, though. The second is that there *are* root crops in those places! The Brassiceae plant family includes Brassica oleracea (kale, cabbage, broccoli, etc.), but it also includes root crops like radishes and maca. Meanwhile, the Brassica plant genus, which is within the Brassiceae family, includes not only Brassica oleracea, but also Brassica rapa (broccoli raab, turnip, etc.) and Brassica napus (canola, rutabaga, etc.). I know, I know, I'm being pedantic. But still -- if someone's growing turnips or rutabagas, which are in the Brassica genus, they may want to fertilize them in a way that's optimal for root crops, just like when they plant carrots. ;)

[@godisgreat4096]

❤😂love all videos. Learned Nitrogen mostly for greens. Some lite nitro. Potassium mostly for root veggies. Im gonna plant now. Talk about lazy or just busy with othr stuff. so everytime you mention donkey poop. I think about your fertilizer video. You picked up a handfull of donkey poop. Camara man said " think you should wash your hand after" had me crying😂😂.

[@LikeEmmaWithaT]

Hey swiss chard is high in iron (but not overly so like spinach if you have an intolerance but still need it). You can use the leaves like spinach and the stalks like asparagus. It has a place. Hehehe

[@dethmaul]

Ascertaining was a subject of a great kids in the hall skit lol. Love it!

[@BrummBilt]

Invest in solid brass quick couplings. You’ll be surprised how much better they are, especially after a year.

[@nunyabeezwax9991]

Your take on Swiss chard. Hilarious! Girls with Torches! Oh yeah! Loved every second of this video.

[@Oreos_mommy]

I used a kitchen torch to make holes in my landscape fabric. It's a little safer but I did turn my back on one and it continued to burn. So I have a very large hole in my green bean bed. Lol

[@YaSunny0409]

I planted 2 broccolini plants in early June. I have been harvesting the very delicious and tender florets since mid July.

😂😂you cracked me up with that torch tho!!! I love watching your gardening and tips.

[@sjulliette]

I would love a video where you share your seed stash and saved seed and talk about what varieties have worked for you in lazy gardening.

[@sjulliette]

And what seeds you buy by the pound and which you save and which you try at smaller scale.

[@thisoldhough2461]

Anne I like your videos. I live in west Michigan….Shelby….I was a farmer full time. Not anymore. Every year I go to the Great Lakes Fruit and Vegetable Expo. You should check it out. It will be in the beginning of December.

O.M.G. Anne and the weed torch section is SO hilarious! I watched a couple times and was laughing so hard!

[@djgriffin66]

Hehe - LOVE your vids - and 'ethic' ;) Being a 'lazy' Gardener is the most natural way ... I watch our neighbour (new Mexico) weed whacking down to the earth, while I'm here watering ours & cut/dropping to create some soil ;) Totally agree re chard - but our ducks/chickens like it and it grows through the winter sometimes here, so bonus ;) & didn't know re the garlic - explains A LOT lol - got 2nd year growing here... left them to do their thing though ;) Very Grateful for your vids though.... 3rd year 'food forest'.... we got time ;)

[@jpexoticpets146]

I love your honesty regarding some plants! Ha haaaaa. Too funny! Swiss chard!

[@holubeckmila3334]

Our climates are the opposite: here, in Northern Italy, it rains often in fall and spring and quite nothing in Summer and Winter (so no snow at all).

[@ThatBritishHomestead]

lol I always think that when I'm planting etc we are always one season ahead mentally thanks nik

Swiss chard is pretty good thrown into skillet with bacon and sweet & sour sauce 😅 because bacon 🥓

[@Lauren-hk5vs]

What is in your magical cool season seed baggie??? We’re in N. Mississippi, not too far from you. This made me want to frolic all through my garden tossing seeds like a sprite. I’m sure as lazy gardeners we don’t thin them later right?

Why would we? The bugs will do that for us?

[@NatureHerbsandTea.]

Hi Anne. You mentioned storing seeds in the fridge, but also using the fridge to kickstart the germination process? How does it work between these two very different outcomes? I would love a video specifically on seed storage and management.

[@carolynharris1127]

I feel exactly as you do about Swiss chard. It looks pretty, but I'd much rather plant a collard, mustard, turnip, beet, lettuce, or some other green.
