92 here in Waterford, MI, yesterday. A little cooler today, but it's supposed to be hot until Monday, I think.
My question for all you fall gardeners – since I've never done any fall gardening – are there enough pollinators still out to fertilize the plants?
I’m so excited to plant my fall garden raised beds. I can’t wait to start planting 🌱 my fall garden. I have been getting raised beds wood and it has been A LOT harder to do raised beds and my dad has to help me nail them together lol 😂 Yes 👍 it was harder then I thought not the planting part the raised bed part !! May be next time I will put different things like leaves 🍁 and sticks in before the organic raised bed bags I put 3 bags in each 3 raised beds that’s a lot of money in organic soil. Some of the organic soil has gone down in the raised bed so I’m working on getting that set up !! I have to get more wood for raised beds. It seems like there would be more space IN a ground garden like I use to do for like 20 years or longer. Everything is nice and neat in the raised bed and the weeds can be controlled better and I can put organic soil mixed with all the ingredients I need to be mixed with and choose what sort of things I want to put in raised beds. To cut on costs I definitely need some fillers I will have to do that with the rest of raised beds. It’s too bad I couldn’t get it together for tomatoes 🍅, peppers 🌶️ 🫑 banana peppers. Roman tomatoes 🍅 and cherry 🍒 tomatoes but I did buy the big husky cherry tomatoes 🍅 which were to expensive for 19.99 a piece some green peppers 🫑 and all of the rest of the stuff I normally plant 🌱 but I had to do some other things instead. Well there is always next year for a spring summer garden 🪴. I can grow some of things you’re growing. That’s so awesome 👏 that you already had some growing. This raised bed situation has been harder then I thought ❤ when I get it done ☑️ I’ll be happy 😃 about it ❤
Happy fall gardening szn y’all 🍁🍁🍁💚💚💚
What is your zone?
I did this today exactly what you’re doing I’m popping in my ceilings into a race bed that I had to clear out and add a little bit more and add the trifecta that I get from you Amanda I love that stuff plus I ordered some more seeds from you, but I popped in a bunch of Zucchini, I think those real cute small pumpkins. They were already started, but I put them in the in the race bed. I will be putting a few more things in by seed. I’ve already started the fall. I’m still getting a lot of melons. I’m in Texas. I’m still getting melons and I’m hoping I’ll get a few more watermelon watermelon Possum getting me though …
You need to write a cookbook
As long as you get the garlic in the grounf before the first frost it should work out.
I’m excited for fall carrots and broccoli! 🥦🥕
Always good tips, thanks Luke!
My goodness, I wish we were in the low 60s. My heart hurt at tossing all those beautiful tomatoes 😢.
Do you have brassica starts for sale at the MIGardener store/greenhouse right now? We messed up and missed the seed starting window.
i only do squash and zucchini in the fall anymore. Not as many squash bugs.
First frost in 1 month in Montana. End of Sept. Maybe Michigan is different. Not many options now.
OMG, look at those roots on the Zuccini
Hydrogen peroxide and water for powdery mildew as well. If you could please include in your tests . 🙂
👋 Is that why my Cilantro is just now growing I'm your neighbor from across the big lake M in zone 5 in The Badger state
My tomatoes ate still just growing green Tomatoes and 5 of my tomato plants haven't even grown flowers. I sure want lettuce cucumbers…thank you,glad I found your channel.
Please stress that planting in the fall typically implies planting seedlings that were begun several weeks before. Newcomers to your channel or new gardeners might think that they can plant seeds directly in the garden and still harvest veggies in the fall. It never hurts to provide facts at the lowest common denominator. Thanks for all of your great advice!
Yessss.. fall gardening. I am excited about the next video. So, if you have baby pepper plants and tomatoe plants, then would you not grow them?
My brassicas come back every year. I cut them off at the base, they grow back in the spring. I'm on year 3 for my kale and collards.
Still getting 90 degree weather down here in PA. Outright scorchers. Gonna wait a little bit and then start planting cold season crops in September, but definitely going to do some late season cucumbers.
It's funny, since I'm in Florida zone 9, this is our time to plant tomatoes and all other classic veggies
Loved this video Luke!! I'm working on getting all of my tomatoes harvested, and I am in SHOCK and still wondering what I did to deserve such a beautiful bounty from God. Dude……I haven't weighed them yet, but I'll tell you I've gotten at least 200 lbs. My upright freezer is full, of tomatoes , and I'm ripening a ton at my momma's house and still have so many left on bushes at my own home. This is crazy 😂😂😂😂 my beans are done, tomatoes are done, and I e started a second round of 45 zucchini plants. Transplanted brassicas a little over a week ago, and now figuring out what else I want to add in .thank you for helping me grow BIGGER❤
Thanks
“Weather’s gotten colder!” Not everywhere, unless dipping below 100°F for the last four days counts. I am glad to see summer waning though. It fries everything by mid-August here in Texas, but it’s been a walk in the park compared to last summer. We ALWAYS try to plant fall crops that do much better, once the heat dies back a bit. The trick here is having to hit that narrow window of not TOO hot for starting new plants or direct seeding and still having enough time before a POSSIBLE early winter. We never know whether we’ll even have a freeze one year or if it’s gonna go sudden full arctic blast. LOL
My first frost is end of September (also located in MI) so I'm probably too late for some of these.
Great video Luke! One thing that I will add to what you said about planting zucchini in the fall, there are a lot less pests you would normally see in the spring and summer months! I completely stopped planting zucchini and squash in the spring and save it entirely for the fall.
I will have to try leaving tomato plants in the ground this year. Great advice!
Need the tips on P. Mildew!!!! Thank u!! I'm in panhandle of Ohio.
ya its been 99 degrees here in TN whew !!
I live in Colorado. You have 20 more frost free days in your fall! What is your zone? Do your broccoli survive the winter without cover? I also saw you holding onions in your plugs?
Luke, I was visiting my sister in Alaska this summer, she grew peas and Broccoli and lettuce. I was surprised how long it took them to grow, so when you you said to start them in the fall now, the weather must be like Alaska to grow these vegetables,🥦!😊
I love this sweatshirt. Will it be available on the app?
Here near Portland Oregon I've been planting broccoli, cauliflower, brussels sprouts, leeks, onions, shallots, peas, kale, Swiss chard, mustard greens, spinach, arugula, romaine lettuce, head lettuce, salad mix, carrots, turnips and radish.
