The time for planting a fall garden in my area is 6 to 8 weeks before my first fall frost. For me, that is August 1st! At that time of year, my garden is loaded with tons of productive warm-season vegetables like potatoes, tomatoes, peppers, and more! I really don’t have much empty space for planting a fall garden in August. So how do you get a fall garden planted on time when you don’t have much room? In today’s video, I have 3 suggestions for you that will help you get that fall garden started without sacrificing productive plants in your garden.

I just pulled my beets (zone 5b, NH) and planted cucumbers👍🏻 I even planted potatoes in the fabric pots I harvested already, they should have some later on. I hate to see empty beds and for the first time ever planted a cover crop of black eyed peas where the garlic was. I planted new beets and later on will do some lettuce. Maybe I should try for Fall carrots too. 👍🏻
What is your zone Rick? Wondering why I am behind you by 1 month in the middle of Zone 7 (on the line between 7A & 7B). I am using 80% chance frost date.
Don't forget about me in Zone 3. I know there's probably only me there.
This was very helpful, thank you (zone 7 Long Island)
Rick, how do you get your carrots to stay moist in this heat? I had a hard time with it in the spring, I can't see how you can do it in this weather when I can't be out there every few hours wetting them down.
Why can’t we start brassicas now ?
This is very helpful. thank you. When would you suggest planting parsnip seeds for a fall/ winter crop?
Thanks for your video. I started broccoli seeds a couple weeks ago in my basement and gave seedlings. When should I plant the seedlings outside? First frost mid to late October. I think you said in the video where to find info on individual plants, cant find it. 😮
This was very helpful. Thanks.
I’ll be pulling potatoes soon so hopefully the seedlings will be ready to plant. I’m shocked I actually planned this year.
I'm a new gardener in zone 6b, and I was under the impression that I should plant garlic in the fall for a good summer harvest. Can anyone give me tips?
What is a cover crop?
