In summer I plant lettuce, spinach, cilantro, dill, daikon and other types of radish, turnips, Chinese cabbage and, of course, cauliflower. In my climate (zone 5, but it`s very hot in summer), cauliflower planted in spring blooms in the heat. Spinach winters well under the snow.

I have the old planner and am VERY excited for the new one! It’s been a game changer-Thankyou 😃

I really appreciate videos like this, short sweet and to the point. I’m new to all this and this video is perfectly timed, I was just looking into what I should be planning now that my plants started bearing fruit.

I always find good advice from this channel. I also like the planting calendar very much where I get a reminder what I can start sowing and planting in the spring. Great channel. Thanks for sharing.

Southern U S here. I just replanted cucumbers. We had an unusually cool, cloudy spring and it took quite awhile to get the first crop. With temps in the 90's now the seeds sprouted quickly and I'm looking forward to a second crop. (Growing them in a container from the farm store.)

A great , informative site, thank you. I’ve just planted a couple of rows of beetroot and radishes direct into the soil and some French beans which I’ve started in the greenhouse. This year has been brilliant for blackberries, French beans, runner beans and potatoes but absolutely useless for onions and garlic. I look forward to your next video.

Most packets of seed have expected days to harvest. Add 10 days for the lower sun and cooler temps as fall approaches, and add 10 days for harvesting the plants. Subtract these days from the first frost dare in your area. Provider beans have 50 days before beginning the harvest. Add 10 days for the changing weather conditions, and 10 days for length of harvest. Count back 70 days from first fall frost. October 3rd in my case. 70 days from October 3rd is July 25. I just sowed some Provider beans yesterday, August 2nd, so I am hoping for a late frost.

This will be my second year to try fall or overwintering vegetables. I've already direct-seeded carrots. I will add garlic, purple lady bok choi, purple turnips, Scotch kale, leeks, and lettuces as it cools down. My 3 raised beds are full sun all day, and I started late (mid-June, due to a move), so I haven't had any lettuce yet. Last year leeks, kale, turnips, chard and beets wintered over. I harvested the beets and chard, they were Spring-sown, but the rest I dug up and transplanted from my previous community garden plot to the new beds after I moved.

I tend to get overwhelmed this time of year with harvest storage that I tend not to get much new planted. I am trying more seed saving so crops stay in longer than usual. But I plant things like bok Choy, wax beans, late peas and most importantly cover crops in those gaps. Annual rye and buckwheat have a lot of time to work right now - just remember to cut them before they go to seed. If you want to grow buckwheat Or amaranth for seed I recommend not doing it in your garden!

@GrowVeg

3 жыл бұрын

Any vegetable (even hardy, cold-season vegetables) will need to be hardened off before planting outside, if they have come from a warmer, under cover area. This is to get them used to not just the change in temperature, but also the change in light levels and wind. So while snap peas are generally quite hardy, a week of hardening off is advisable before planting them.
