I would add to #'s 1&2. In addition to cukes and zukes, I'd also add pie pumpkins, which you should be able to harvest in time for Thanksgiving and/or Christmas, as well as large winter squash of choice. I'm a big fan of the PBS aka pink banana squash and I like Hubbard varieties. I have an experimental honeynut squash growing now... seeds harvested from store-bought veg. (We'll see how that works out.) #4: Is it too late to plant some super-hots? I really want to try growing Summer sweet-potatoes, in time for the holidays, too. Would that go along with #6?

Hey Millennial Gardener! I’m so glad I found your channel! Your videos are so helpful! I’m literally a Newbie Gardner (3 weeks) & I’m in a similar Zone (7b) - Baltimore, MD. I am already starting my pepper harvest (poblanos & jalapeños), sweet potatoes, & basic staple herbs. Planning on doing squash & garlic in a few weeks. However, I am very interested in a lemon & lime trees and I have been watching your citrus fruit tree videos and I can get established trees of both from Lowe’s in containers. My question is should I keep them in their containers or transplant them in ground? I really enjoyed your video re: lemon trees from grafted tree or a root cutting, so I’m curious about that technique as well. If you could, let me know your thoughts, pros & cons to each, or if it warrants a whole new video, that’d be even better!

@@OhPervyOne Summer sweet potatoes are a great idea for mid-July growing. Remember they like hot sandy soil. And sand gets mighty hot under the sun. I'm about to get me some cheap top soil, which tends to be sandy and a few bags of all-purpose sand and mix them to grow slips. I may even grow a potato buried under an inch of my mixture, to see how that turn out.

Nor-East Texan here myself! He is absolutely spot-on about the climate and this year has been especially weather-wild: nasty thunderstorms, very wet and very humid considering it's July. My poor garden is confused and it's showing. Because these last few storms dessimated a lot of my crops I am having to re-plant. This time around we'll be using felt containers rather than in-ground for better management.

I just planted some tomato seedlings I got from Menards that were $0.75 for six. For that price, I figured it was worth a try. It’s been so dry up here in Wisconsin, we’ve been struggling to get anything to grow decent. I think it has rained maybe three times since spring.

Great advice today as usual. I’m in Cave Creek Az and picked my first fig of the season, I believe it to be a mission. Was a gift and my friend didn’t know what kind it is. It fills the palm of my hand. Dale looks great and rested. It is approaching 120 degrees here and I have taught my Rottweiler to use the treadmill. He walks and jogs we vary the exercise. Even 5 minutes settles him down and relaxes him. Thanks for your help with the garden. Even with shade cloth and mulch it’s harsh out there. One point I have not heard you mention is with the quality of water. Our city water is extremely hard and seems to be getting worse. We catch water when it rains but it is infrequent.

This time of year, it rains so much that I don't have to water the regular garden, only my container garden. Having rain barrels is very helpful.

Great info! Cowpeas are another nice mid-summer crop for the South, and of course, okra. I’m just planting some pink eye purple hull peas, and some cantaloupe.

My hot tip is to use reflectors. Curved mirrors to redirect the light to concentrated areas. Window sills can be made bright enough to grow things all year round by taking the light on winter ground that isn't growing anything at that time and shining it somewhere where thing can grow. Make dish mirrors if you can but it is easier to create single curve mirrors. I'm making them out of cardboard wire industrial kitchen foil wood and wire to give the corrugated cardboard shape, mastic sealer and glue. It's the materials that I have got. If you have better materials then youse them instead. If you are using cardboard then make sure the foil is fully sealed against the rain around it and they are fully secured at all four corners to a couple of wooden polls.

Great advice for fall planting! I've recently thought of fall plantings of zukes & others, because my summer ones didn't do well...I don't get out there as much as I should! I'm in the Piedmont area from AZ, and man, this heat is killing me...along with the bugs biting constantly! Ugh!

Water once a month to keep them from drying out. Start paying more attention to them in feb/march as they begin to produce leaves.

I have two trellis areas I started my snap peas in one area early and let those grow and then started first round of cucumbers and melons in the other. Peas died back as soon as the heat hit so I planted a second round of cucumbers and melons and those are just now started to reach the trellis with perfect timing. Once that first round of cucumbers and melons are done I plan to replace those with more snap peas for a fall harvest :). Seems like the timing works out great for this rotation.

It depends where you live. Western NC has a pretty short season. Where I live in the Southeast, the summers are so hot, they can actually fall outside of growing season. Shade cloth has fixed that, so I can *finally* grow in my summers thanks to this discovery.

Great garden brother super nice grow thanks for all you infogrow

Wow, i`m in South East Michigan, and you are a couple of zones under me, my garden looks like yours in September, we had a 20 day drought in June, we have gotten a lot of rain the last few weeks so the garden is looking up, I single stem and my tomatoes they are about to my waist or better with lots of small green tomatoes, my zuccinni looks the best, I have 8 fruits on the one plant about 5 inches long, some hot peppers are doing well and some are not, the ones that did not, I clipped the tops of to promote new lower shoots, and it seems to have helped. I planted cucumbers from seed 3 weeks ago, they are about 8 inches high now, that`s about the only thing I can grow twice besides maybe lettuce, but these 2 months are very humid and hot here. We love all the tips and advice you share with us, thanks for all of the info.

Thanks for sharing . Happy Gardening 👨🏿‍🌾 💚

Very good video with useful info, thanks. I've got a bunch of determinate tomatoes coming along, but I hadn't even considered the little melons. I will look into those as well as the three tomato types you suggested. Cheers from Houston Tx.

You certainly can grow the little melons into late November, maybe even December, in the Houston area. You have plenty of time. I highly recommend them!

Thanks for the great info. Located in San Diego ca. so year round growing but great info . Thanks for the knowledge 🤙🏼
