Weekly Garden Update 9/27/24: It’s a Jungle Out Here!

Howdy! I am Christi from Little Salty Homesteader, and in this video, I am showing y’all what’s going on in my North Texas vegetable garden in late September. After some much needed rain, the garden is lush and green! The eggplants and cowpeas are putting on quite the show!

The cowpeas will grow like gang busters, until the first cold temperatures in the 40's. That usually happens sometimes around Thanksgiving (seems like on the very day). Once the first really cold spell hits they stall out and never come back to producing even if things warm back up. They really like hot temperatures.

@@growyourownfood7814 I’m not complaining! That’s just more food for the pantry 😁

I’m just starting my garden and heard that broccoli will bolt in warm temps. How are you keeping it from bolting since it’s still hot? I’m in Denton TX btw

[@littlesaltyhomesteader]

@@catherinemarie6 luck I guess! I followed the planting schedule given by Seedtime.us, which schedules things based on your zip code. It also gets shade from the tomatoes and, later in the afternoon, from my house. So it’s not in the scorching sun all day long. I was worried about it last week when it was hot, but it seemed to pull through fine!

@@catherinemarie6 oh! I also planted a couple of more heat-tolerant hybrid varieties, so I’m sure that helps. Green Magic and Purple Magic
