Hell. I grow cucumber and zucchini in Texas summer… Fall crop my butt
My cherry tomato plant survived the winter and is in its 2nd year but didn’t produce as well. (Smaller tomatoes) Do the tomato sucker clones produce just as good as the original healthy plant?
The pepper container plants, do you move them inside during a frost and then back outside? Or do you keep them indoors from the first frost on?
My squash plants this year were massive. They grew offshoots that also produced squash. They were still healthy when I cut them out but at the base was over 2” wide. I’m a big fan of the hand grenade variety after growing them for 2 years.
I live in the Panhandle, Florida (zone 8b). I started 2 Sungold and 2 Super Sweet 100 tomato plants on July 1. I am hoping for some good production this year. Thanks for the good suggestions.
You say not to plant potatoes in the same containers, but if you plant them in big plastic containers, can you just wash the cotainers out to reuse them for next year? Can you plant sweet potatoes, know?
Great video! Just put in more cucumbers and beets. I didn't know you could get starts off of tomatoes like that…thanks for the info!
What about turnips and various greens?
Thanks! This is great info for me I’m in SC 😊
This isn't related to this video but I would like to see a video on caring for raised bed soil prior to the next planting season. Tilling? Reusing raised bed soil, renewing, etc. If you have already done that please forgive me.
Great video. Thank you for sharing exited to try these💕
What size grow bags were your potatoes in?
I’m southern CA where it gets to highs of 110°F+ my poor garden has been beaten to hell and back and even the seedlings in my window are hurting. We hardly if at all get any rain, and we don’t cool off till about November pushing December.
I find it sooo hard to take a grown man seriously when he is wearing a flat billed hat.
In North Carolina, you have 3 growing seasons. So it's no surprise you can STILL PLANT. In Pennsylvania, we have 2 growing seasons….if you play your cards right.
You can also start sunflowers in July
Cover your cucumber seeds for you direct sow with cheesecloth or bird net, etc.. they ate all my cucumber seeds at the beginning of the year twice before I learned my lesson..
Why are my tomato plant ONLY leaves STILL? 😢 I JUST planted cucumber and zucchinis! They are just started flowering.
Good Morning
Yeay Garden in July season
Thanks you for sharing
Great info. What do you do with all of the harvests?
The second video I’ve seen telling me to plant more squash! Thank you again for keeping me informed and growing better and better every year.
Great garden brother super nice grow thanks for all you infogrow
Thank you🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
90 days till frost in Indianapolis.
I have kept a jalapeno pepper for 10years in a 5gal pot kept it in the house in the winter, outside during growing season, spider mites were my only difficulty and was the demise of the 10 year old pepper. In the house the fruit would be 1/3 to1/4 the normal size. And HOT🤠
Thank you fow the tip on using a sucker to start a new tomato plant. I didnt think of doing that, but will be trying it this week.
Thanks. I planted some tomato transplants the other day. They were big, but I still thought it probably was too late for them. Most of my plants haven't produced anything or haven't produced anything ripe, yet. Lots of green tomatoes. No peppers. 🙁
Thanks so much for this terrifically informative vid. I always wait too long before starting the vegetables you've mentioned here. This year I'm direct seeding, and or using suckers thanks to you. Plus those little melons sound good, so I want to try those. I'll use your links.
Yaaaaaaaasssssss 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Hoping there is less pest pressure on my squash in my fall garden!
Oh i thought it was too hot 4 potatoes
very good video,thank you!
Thank you for this video! We are in northern Vermont and even though it’s currently hot and humid, that will change suddenly and dramatically. We didn’t have time to plant our garden this spring so this is exciting and very helpful news!
If they use Baker creek seeds …take everything they say with a grain of salt.
Such a helpful information- thank you!
Thanks for the great info for newer gardeners. This really helps them understand there garden isn’t done after the initial planting.
Oh thanks! Live in a hot climate and looking to plant other things late July. Them small melons are really awesome idea! Can share a lot of these plants with the chickens! I had a sweet potato sprout, so I planted it, and it is taking off!
OK, huge question…. I am in Miami, FL, where we have summer 365 a year. It is a wee bit of an exaggeration, but you get where I'm going. Based on this video, and how hot it stays down here longer, when should I start planting the would you think? 😂😅 Thank you in advance.
