I love the office. I hope you are loving it too. This video came just in time for me. I have been thinking about what to do for this fall this week. I haven’t been very successful in the past. I’m planning to plant collards, cauliflower, broccoli, carrots, radishes, turnips, kale from my mother-in -love, maybe some peas and since you mentioned it, I think I’m going to plant some pansies. I probably won’t start the pansies from seeds. I’ll just buy them from Lowe’s or Home Depot but all the rest of the stuff I have seeds for and that’s what I’m going to try to grow this fall. Thanks for your video and all your helpful tips God bless you.

Hey!! Here's a little tip: if y'all are gonna buy cabbages, broccoli, cauliflower starts or anything actually from a store, look at the packs before you make your selection... sometimes the grower has planted more than one seed per cell and you end up getting more plants for the price of one!! Like sometimes there will be 2 plants instead of one in a cell. That will help keep your cost down! Maybe everyone knows that😂 also, I hope that all made sense! 😊

As always these "classroom" videos are awesome. I literally stopped the video, ran out to the garden and pulled suckers off of my tomatoes to root and plant later, then paused it again to go stick some seed potatoes in the ground! My garden has really struggled this year with the draught, smoke and heat (plus ridiculous pets pressure and disease), so I'm holding on to hope for a bountiful fall garden. You're amazing!

"For those who live in the north,... TRY to survive!" "I live where snakes can kill you!"

Clyde's Garden Planner is the Fall gardener's best friend!

Central Texas here (zone 8b) & we're in our 3rd year of drought, & exceptionally high heat. Which all started at the end of May = super early for the over 100° weather! Days are now averaging 106°f and higher. This means the problem worse than gardening in the heat is the water restrictions. I am only allowed to use my hose 1 day a week, and then only for 12 hours. The water is only supposed to be used during the night hours when the sun is not trying to kill us! Same with any other watering system, water ONLY one day a week. That's just not enough for anything in a pot. I have a rain barrel, but no rain. So I usually fill up my rain barrel on my one water day, and then I can hand water a few things thru the week. That might be cheating with the restrictions? Overall, I just thank God for my huge trees which save is all !! So I make sure to take care of them first. And then just wait for the Fall/Winter weather to come!

I'm glad you mentioned the burnout. When it's really hot weather, I'm done except for bare minimum maintenance and harvesting. I am going to try a fall garden so this is timely information. Thanks!

Very true!

You’ve hit the nail on the head for some of the first advice I give new gardeners: know your frost dates! I’m in southeast Michigan, where our first frost is usually around mid-October. Last frost is normally around Mother’s Day in May (we had snow on Mother’s Day in 2020!). I feel like knowing your frost dates is so helpful in garden planning. I’m not doing a fall garden this year (my focus is going to be on covercropping instead) but I am experimenting with some frost-hardy plants in pots. And experimenting with overwintering leeks.

I had cilantro THRIVE down to 2F multiple times last year, in a greenstalk with a frost cover. Acclimation is amazing!!! I had fresh cilantro all winter!

If you like cilantro, you should try pápalo, which I think tastes much better than cilantro! And pápalo doesn't bolt like cilantro does.

FYI, beets are one of the few plants that actually can produce more than one beet from one seed (cluster). You can choose to leave them growing together if more than one germinates, or thin them like carrots or radishes

Such a good reminder, Jess! I love the fall garden. This year I've forced myself to follow Charles Dowding's planting calender. Living in Vancouver, WA I have a very similar growing environment. I've had more successes with Brassicas than ever before. Yes, I heartily recommend trying to garden year round!

As far as bad soil, we battled the same problem. This year we finally are getting a huge harvest by gardening in wooden boxes that we built out of scrap wood and cheap wooden fence pickets. There is no weeding when you use good potting soil, or have a small truckload dumped to use for gardening containers. We put old fence panels for climbing crops. No weeding or bending over, and we are getting TONS of veggies! We saved up and bought that awesome landscape fabric to put all the boxes on in rows. Looks great and no weeds, plus lots of veggies.

I have been living vicariously through your videos this summer because I just don’t have the time or energy to be outside in this heat. BUUUUT … I’m very interested in a fall garden. SO HAPPY this video popped up in my feed today. I’m going to rewatch later so I can sit down and take notes. Thank you!!

Beets…I’ve had really good success with planting a bunch of beet seeds in a 4” x 4” pot and then transplanting the tiny seedlings! I saw them for sale like that, and ever since I’ve done that. Kind of like small leek/onion seedlings. Weirdly it works. It’s a tough world out there for little plants, and I have better luck starting everything I can and transplanting 🤷🏻‍♀️ ❤

Being someone from the frozen North (Rhode Island), we can do fall/winter gardens if we use greenhouses, sunny heated rooms or cold frames. The choice of plants is very limited, but I love freaking out the neighbors trudging through the snow to pick fresh kale from the cold frame.

Your growing salad greens in a bag of soil was my introduction to you. I didn’t try it at the time, but I have since watched many videos and implemented SOOOOO many things that I learned from you and MIgardner and the ladies at The Honeystead. Sometimes it was just the encouragement I needed to get back out there and not give up. Thank you for sharing your wisdom and experiences with us, as well as your laughter, which is always right there ready to bubble up so freely!

Fall gardening can be done in the north. I am in zone 5 and my average first frost is late September. It is mid July and I am currently direct sowing summer squash, bush beans, dill, carrots, and chard. I am starting seedlings indoors including short season cabbage, kale, kohlrabi, spinach, lettuce, and pac choi. I started indoors cabbage in late June and broccoli in early June, Around August first I will direct sow snap peas, arugula, spinach, and carrots.

@@yvettelabeef-knapp8671 I tuck seeds and seedlings into random empty spaces where a plant didn't make it or was harvested earlier in the season. It is a good method to get more production without adding more garden space. I don't worry about companion planting or crop rotations when I add these crops in places. For me it is bonus production and I don't stress if it doesn't work out.

Here in Chicago I don't know a lot of people that fall garden, but it's perfect! I have kale and collards sometimes through the winter. I tried brussel sprouts last year but planted them too late and ended up with mostly the leaves. Turns out they are absolutely delicious as well, so much so that I deliberately grew them just for the leaves and feasted all spring.😊

Here in Michigan in the fall, we clean up the gardens and get ready to hibernate. You and the ground needs that rest to take a break. So cut it all back or pull it out, put out some fresh compost to give your soil something to give it to live on when its cold and when it wakes up. Then call it a wrap.

In colder/shorter season places, we don't have spring/summer/fall gardens but.... I can start sowing/planting outside in middle May and keep planting until middle July. In middle July, I still have 90 days before I need to harvest frost hardy plants. Wrt leafy crops, one can keep planting as long as it's warm enough for them to sprout. Because they can be harvested at any size. They don't need to go to full maturity. I am thinking of having transplants to put out once temperatures cool after mid August.

when it comes to our fall garden, that is actually my begining garden dates. im in zone 10b, fall is when we can actualy start our tomatoes, cucumber and spring squash. Our "frost" isnt until january if we have one. Our summertime is when we take our season break. i still plant luffa, sweet pots and okra!

Here in SE Texas (zone 8b) our worst months for heat are usually Aug-Sept. First frost is mid-Nov. The heat hit early this year and has stayed. Miserable. Not many tomatoes maturing, though I have managed to keep the plants alive this year. Will try the tomato cuttings. My peppers were put out late and never took off. Trying to keep them going for fall. I always have better luck in fall with peppers. I put my Ancho in a pot last year and hauled it into my greenhouse. Still going strong and was loaded in spring. Going to try a California Wonder this year and maybe a few others, if I can ever get my cattle panel hoophouse finished. I have rats that invade the big greenhouse in winter and they went after the pepper and the citrus. Hoping the hoophouse will protect and rats won't go there, since it will be more open (no storage). Currently have sweet potatoes going well. Will be starting most of my fall garden in Sept. Our local cooperative will have onion starts in Nov, but I found a Texas onion company last year, and will be ordering from them. They have varieties for all parts of the country. Dixondale Farms Some of the herbs, like parsley and cilantro do well in the fall gardens.

Hi, I am in New Braunfels, Texas.......My tomatoes are the same as yours, and I also did not have luck with peppers. I've grown burgundy okra and also eggplant in the past but my eggplant had lots of blossoms but they all fell off. I only started 1 okra and it is doing well but I wish I had grown fewer tomato plants and more okra. Any chance you are located near New Braunfels ?

@@debsalerno1915 No. I'm north of Houston, in Grimes County. Hot and humid here.

Thank you! So many of my questions answered. I'm shooting for garlic and onions!

Thanks Jess you always give great info n loving the new office 😊

Mary's Heirloom Seeds is a great seed company too. She's in the south and has great prices.

BIG HELP! Thanks!

Snow is actually a good insulator. Plants covered by snow will stay at 32°F even if the air above is colder. However, where I am in east TN, snow rarely stays around longer then 2-3 days.

I had no idea the days to maturity for tomatoes and eggplant weren't from the time I planted the seed! I thought my plants were super late or I had done something wrong because that date came and went before I had any fruits. Thank you! I always learn something new when I click on one of your videos. ♥

We be MINNESOTANS! And yes, winter is a battle for survival.............because I too hate the cold and don't like to venture out to that chicken coop in the cold, windy, icy weather! But then it gives way to amazing spring weather which brings with it a ton of gratitude. The change in seasons is so spectacular, we just put up with the snow and cold!

Good idea. I always have a hard time removing plants that are still (barely) producing, to make room for fall plants…but I will this year. Thank you. I’m four months from first frost, and my tobacco always thrives until January. We’re spoiled.

Such a great vlog. Learned some good stuff and am excited to have my first "successful" fall garden! Thank you. Also, cool new office! Yay for you.

Sooooo glad you made this video. Cleared up alot for me. Fall gardening has always been a mystery too me.

I live in zone 9b, but in this weird little microclimate where it rarely gets above 70-75 until September/October (which is really great right now with the heat everywhere!). I tried the board trick for sowing carrots with varied success-this year I showed my carrot seeds and just mulched heavily with straw. It kept the moisture in the same way the board would, and I got almost 100% germination. The other bonus was I didn’t have to remember to take the board off as they grew through the mulch. It’s been my best year yet for carrots-you might want to try that and see whether it works for you!

You are such a wealth of information! Love the new digs and the freedom this will give you. ❤❤

Great video Jess, as usual ❤ And I can relate to the summer burn out, literally, as it’s over 35 degrees celcius here in zone 9b Spain. Watering and checking my garden twice a day if needed 😅 But I’m looking forward to my fall garden now! Oh and I love your new office, can’t wait for the tour 👏🏻

I heard someone used pine shavings to germinate carrot seeds, since it is a light mulch and sprouts can push through it. I'm trying that this year for carrots as well as parsley and cilantro 🙂

Thanks, Jess. This was so helpful and came at exactly the right moment. Happy harvest!

This was a wonderfully informative video bravo!!! well done!!!

I have never grown a fall garden but I am hoping to do some this year. I'm in North Central Arkansas. I really don't have a place to start plants but will try

Thank you! This is so helpful! This is the first year I've grown a pretty large garden and have been confused about some of the things you talked about. I look forward to the fall garden now! Although, I don't really look forward to seed starting all over again lol.

Excellent video! This will be my first fall garden. Summer Garden is doing great! I'm excited to keep going thru the fall/winter.

Very comprehensive. I will be returning to this many times. Thank you!

Thank you for this video! I’m in the same growing zone as you and this is a new adventure for me. Love what you do.

Bless you Jess !

My first fall garden time is coming up and I have been WAITING for you to talk about it. My first tomatoes ever are thriving because of your continuous explaining on how to make them thrive, thank you

The biggest issue here in the high desert is that there is really no lead up to frost. So anything you get going in july or august is going to immediately bolt and then by mid to late September youre getting good hard frosts so a fall garden is just not doable

This is the most informative posts I have ever seen. Thank you!!! I took notes as you suggested. 💖🙏🌟
