Woop woop I can't wait until I start fall Corp first I might do is carrots
🌹
Kim, hello! I do not have luck with cauliflower. Please, if you can, give me some tips to be more successful with cauliflower. Thank you for your help!!
I'm super late getting my summer crops out due to family illness. I have 4 more that need transplanting, but just as I was getting them out yesterday, we heard an explosion that last night turned out to be a huge tree from the woods. It fell on the patio and crushed 3 outta 4 of my pepper plants, which killed like 30 bell peppers. I couldn't assess the damage last night in the dark, cold rain and fallen lines on the back patio. Everything is just a mess and I'm so over it.
I’m still hoping to get something out of my summer garden! In my area of NJ, we had a cold, rainy spring and early summer. Then straight to 95+ heatwave. I feel like I’m a full season behind – I have cucumbers I planted in early July from seed (thanks, Kim!) that are just now starting to bloom. Also a bunch of grow bags with some of your container collection are just getting rolling now. I guess I’ll have to wait and see if there is time to do any “fall” growing in my tiny raised bed, or if I just let the summer ones go till it’s over. 🤷♀️
Just ordered my fall garden collection! Thank you for making this collection. Seeing the new seeds has gotten me excited for my fall garden again!!

Hi Kim and CameraGuy, I started two trays of seeds (broccoli, cauliflower, heat tolerant lettuces, spinach, and some herbs) on July 25th and most have already germinated. I used some of the seeds I purchased from your store and cannot wait to get the broccoli and Igloo cauliflower in the garden. I have a question about mildew on my collard greens. Do I have to remove the entire plant if the powdery mildew is on a few of the leaves. Thank you in advance. Happy Gardening!
Runaway Arugula I can get behind! The biggest surprise this season is spinach growing wild like vines! Big shield shaped succulent dark greeen leaves I never planted. I'd like to make my east side yard a "Lettuce & Green Alley"
I wanted to buy a false collection, but it’s forcing me to try to buy other seeds. I don’t think that’s fair anyway so I won’t buy.
We dont like to eat brassicas, but KALE yes, that dazzling blue is geourgeous. Do those white butterflies attack it? Do you cover it?🎉how tall is that kale, what can i plsnt underneath Kim?
