1st round of maters winding down, 2nd round beginning to set fruit though some are blighted, 3rd round starting tonite. still a little over 4 months til freeze. yay living at 35N
😂 literally just came in from planting out more peppers. They were seeded with everything else in feb and have been sitting in cups on the porch waiting for the garlic to come out. Everything else was planted out in April.
MIgardener, please more videos like this one to encourage people right now. Food security is going to be an issue for people and places in America in 2025.
If I may recommend a topic: growing curcubits vertically to save space for melons. Balcony shade leaves, wind the vine back and forth on even a small balcony you can grow pumpkins and squash on a high rise building. I've done it.
Here in south Alabama it’s so hot but I still like to try planting because nothing ventured nothing gained
I still thinks too early for fall crops in 9a south Georgia i could try seeds during first week of August, for cabbage, kale, collards. My sweet onion seed probably end of August. Right now okra, peppers, sweet potatoes and cow peas do great in this heat.
Around here I have to plant out later, because despite the early last frost, the spring nights were too cold and a lot of my first round of seedlings didn't survive. Fortunately we tend to get Indian summers, so there is much more time than it seems.
You know you have a green thumb when you purchase a new property and one of the first priorities is putting in a garden
I grew up on a farm. My father would see the friends planting as early as possible. He would say got to wait till the ground warms up. He planned later and his plans would catch up to theirs.
Even cloning tomatoes. I will have 3 sets of harvests if I'm lucky.
The seeds KNOW what to do..Care and Nuturing ❤❤❤❤
I started my garden last year, and it was probably mid June before I actually was able to plan, just from all the prep work that I had to do, and this is basically what I did, just plant a bunch of stuff that has a short growing season and don't be too upset if I misjudged the timing.
Never say never. I'm in 5b/6a. Everything in my summer garden was planted out "late" by about a month+ – cuz life is gonna life. Already bringing in cukes and other stuff is well on it's way. Never let someone sway you not to try.
You are definitely NOT crazy for planting fall tomatoes and other crops. Here in the south, plants tend to get burned up and diseased due to the heat and humidity. Planting late and when it cools down a bit, they grow a lot better when the worst of the heat is over. I am talking about determinates as indeterminates need a longer period than what the weather will allow that late in the year.
Thank you!!👏🏾I already had my first harvest. I planted more vegetables yesterday & today. It's never too late. Happy Gardening everyone! 👩🏾🌾 Zone 7b.
I often plant "late" but in my experience, late is better than never
I watch Veggie Boys on youtube, who are family farmers on hundreds of acres and they're basically transplanting 2"inch seedlings NOW of tomatoes, broccoli, peppers, cabbage for late harvest … and they are confident that they will be ready in time to harvest. Zone 6.B/7 northern Pennsylvania.
What a joyous video 😊
I'm in zone 12b but still tried growing broccoli, kale and lettuce in the summer. Some success, some failures, but I get to be in awe of nature every day and grow together with my plants 🌱💕
Hi, I have a question about your muncher cucumber seeds.Are they an heirloom or hybrid seed? I only planted 4 seeds and getting more than I ever imagined and sharing with anybody and everybody that will take them. Thank you!
Hello to kind souls drawn to the calm of nature 🌱
If you ever feel like wandering through another quiet garden space, mine is always open.😊❤❤
Hope you'll watch out for too much UV radiation — what about a hat with a broader rim (when you're not recording)?
Nature's bounty
I am in the desert in California. It is currently 118 degrees. I planted a bed of squash, Melons and watermelons on Monday. They are popping up now. I have given them a shade covering and I water morning and evening when it is this hot. ( At least the heat kills most of the pest bugs. ) I hope to harvest by October. We will see. It’s a risk, but I can always replant in September. ( my first frost date is in December) you have a tighter window to plant in, but it can be still worth it to plant late. Thank you for this video to remind us that when life happens, and you didn’t get to the garden, you can still plant .
Very encouraging — I am encouraged
I had to wait until mid july last year. I got a harvest
I am putting green beans where my garlic is and I have started roma tomatoes to try for fall harvest.
You are at the best ever.
Great video Ty!!
I'm starting some determinate and dwarf tomatoes, and some bush cucumbers. They'll easily be ready. I'll have at least 90 days to grow them out when they are supposed to be ready much before then.
I never plant for summer harvest. The majority of my canning and dehydrating is done in cooler weather when they're fresh picked.
I'm replanting now as well.
One of my $5:sale raspberry canes is putting on raspberries lol. I was in shock!! Love it. I'm positive I'll get a great harvest next year. Best money I've ever spent. I'll be looking for more of your sales and stocking up. Your seeds are the only ones I do well with. Thank you so much for all your great helpful videos and seeds n stuff you sell. I can actually grow stuff now. Who knew lol.
You can plant something any time of the year. And, if you want to plant something you should. You are doing this for you. Remember that.
It was mid to upper 90s in June in Louisiana lol I still planted some stuff. I just put it where it's shaded from about 11am-3pm
THANK YOU!!!! Life does not ask us when it’s most convenient to do things. April 9th I developed a hole in my eye and all my seedlings sat for 2.5 months over grown in trays. I finally got a transplant and part of my healing was literally putting 1 seedling in a container of last year’s unamended soil every few days (even with safety goggles I can’t be around fertilizer, can’t dig or bend over). I told my husband that it doesn’t even matter if I get harvests, my therapy is a few minutes outside each day. Now I actually have the extra blessing of lots of baby tomatoes, peppers, zucchini, beans, & berries. The gift of rejuvenation that nature gives us is just as good as a huge harvest! I loved your encouragement today. I strongly believe there’s no wrong way to garden, just get out there 🙂
Dumb question. What happens to the fruits and veggies that are used for seed? Does the flesh of the plants go to waste?
I’d love some of that 80F heat to cool off 😂
We have temperature up to 110 and frequent 100’s. I use the suggestions you mention to succession plant pumpkin, squash, cucumbers and tomatoes. I sometimes pick tomatoes in January.Early Girl, Sweet 100 or Roma work well.
I like your attitude when it comes to gardening. GO FOR IT! You never know until you try. I agree, there's no "set-in-stone" standard for planting.
It's been years since I had a garden. I'm 74 now, living in Central Florida for the past 45 years. We had a nice garden in our first home here: corn, green beans, eggplant, tomatoes, collards, cucumbers, peas, carrots, kohlrabi, radishes, etc.
That was 20 years ago. We moved to a different county in Florida and I haven't gardened since. But now, I'm starting to feel the fever again, except that I don't have the stamina or the youth I had then. It's in the 90's right now, and I've started some seeds, bought some 10 gallon fiber grow bags and I'm going to line my plants against the railing on my front porch, which faces east.
Haven't done it yet, because right now I'm starting my seeds in cleaned 4 oz. soft yogurt containers (ideal for starting seedlings.) I have them outdoors in a box on my front porch.
Started 19 vegetables. So far, 9 have sprouted and they appear to be doing well despite the heat
I'm keeping a garden log/diary that I can reference back on for next year.
Anyway, I wanted to thank you for your wonderful encouragement. It's really appreciated.
