Why you want to do this with seed starting! Fall gardening tips! Texas 8A
I tried and true method for starting your seeds to go into your vegetable garden. This helps with spacing, germination, plant strength, and planning. Follow along with us as we sow our seeds for our Texas fall garden.
Hi new follower here! 👋😁 I need a second opinion, do you think it would be okay to take shade cloth down now that we have cooler temps in the forecast?
Thank you for the updates on your fall/winter planting. I’m glad your cracks on the ground are getting smaller. Let’s pray for more cooler days for better gardening🤞
I am so glad I found your channel. I needed to know how to grow in my area. I appreciate you and your knowledge so much. I went out this morning to look at my rain gauge (first time to check it, I'm bad) and my gauge was overflowing. What I could see was over seven and a half inches. With all that is going on in the world, I am so glad I have that blessed hope. Vickie
We had just over 3 inches here in Lewisville on the North side of the metroplex. All my fall crops are looking so much better after the rain and the break from the heat!
Wow! those blackoil seeds!! 5/10 inch total here in the heart of Texas…in 3 small showers last 2 days. Thankful for every drop, and the temp drop outside! God bless, Jill !!
I was going to plant some bunching onions- I have a shallow planter, about 4" deep. 12" diameter. I read they don't need much depth. Hope that's right. I got some Miracle Grow organic soil. Someone said brand might not really be organic. IDK now if should use for veggies now. I'm in North Texas too. Other than Calloways, any other brands you like? I got some last year at HD had a lot of wood chips in it and didn't care for it. Supposedly all purpose potting soil. I'm growing in containers at apt since no land but also have small raised bed at community garden.
We have 4 pear trees in our back yard and all four of them have been withering in the heat of the summer despite weekly deep watering. But after this week's rains all four of them have perked up and look so much better! I hope next year will be more consistent rain wise. Our pear crop will not be great due to the heat. One tree has only half bloomed (literally) and those pears that have grown are really small in size. The other two trees have less than 20 pears on them each and one of the pears has not flowered in two years in a row so no pears at all from that one. Hope your fruit trees have done better, Jill.
Also, I'm wondering about using those tubs for regular potatoes. I was thinking of using 20 gallon feed tubs from tractor supply but those are more than $20 each. I can get the rectangular tubs with the yellow lids from Costco for $8 to $10 each. Should I plant my potatoes next spring in these tubs instead because they are so much cheaper? Would love feedback on this. Thanks!
So thankful for the rain. Unfortunately, I noticed this evening that mold started on my melons in the greenhouse. Will have to treat and just hope those remaining Kajari melons ripen! Blessings
I’m a newbie to vegetable gardening and I’m really enjoying your videos. I live in Northlake, North of Fort Worth. I’m not able to do much right now. Our place is for sale, due to apartments being built around our property. I can’t wait to be moved and settled so I can get started. Thank you for sharing your knowledge of gardening! Cindy
Your seedlings look great. We are going to get started planting seeds this weekend. We will wait until the second week of September to seed root veg. We seed the same yawl do to save seeds. God Bless.
So happy you are safe from the flood waters. I am doing the same seed starts. Great tip on the yellow lids! I have plenty of them! Enjoy the cooler temps my friend.😊
So happy I found your channel! We just moved in a little South of Gainesville. I don’t have infrastructure yet, but I did try out some carrots and radishes.

I am about to purchase some 27 gallon tubs & soil. You had shown planting seed directly in them, right?
❤️

Good afternoon, Jill. How refreshing the air is. So glad to have rain, but so sorry for those who endured flooding.
Thanks Ms. Jill. This was just the demo I was looking for. My cabbage, collards are ready.
PS. Happy you got the rain! God is good.
I did Peat pods in a tray for the first time ! Hope they work -thank you SO much for your helpful videos

Thank you for your tips…God bless!!!
When you broadcast your lettuce seed do you sprinkle some potting soil to cover them? By the way I live not to far from you all Navarro county.
Can you do a video on Broadcast Seeding please?
Amen for the rain in the Tarrant County area of Texas!
Please keep praying for the right amount of rain all over Texas, and NOT too hard of a harsh winter.
What are the top 3 or 4 hearty and very nutritional fall garden plants?
Keep hearing seeds are going to be in short supply next spring. Prepare now for next growing season.
