7 Fall Veggies I Planted THIS WEEK That You Can Start Right Now



This video shares 7 fall veggies I planted this week that you can start right now in your fall vegetable garden. Fall gardening season begins in August. Early August often is peak summer heat, but late August can be much cooler, so it is important that we plant fall vegetables in proper order for a successful fall garden. This video will get your fall garden off on the right foot.

If you’ve never grown a fall garden before, I urge you to try this year. Fall weather is the perfect time to be outside, and the cooler temperatures, fewer storms, calmer winds and low humidity make gardening in fall a pleasure. The veggies we sow in August will reward us with big fall harvests. Don’t let the summer heat make you quit. A little work now will reap huge rewards in the perfect fall gardening weather!

  2. Being in mid Florida, Im still a good month before even thinking about planting fall vegies.

  3. Question, if I may.
    I have a single raised bed in a community garden on the Eastside of Seattle. Currently I have winter squash and tomato plants ripening. I think I need to amend my soil once I harvest, but I dislike the idea of missing out on fall planting season.
    I understand if I plant say fava beans as a cover crop that I can use them to amend my soil, but I’m much more interested in trying to grow some corn rather than beans.
    Is there anything I can plant now as my squash and tomatoes finish out their season? Or am I better waiting until I harvest and totally do a three month or so soil amendment under mulch and a tarp come October or so? I would love to be productive year round, but I’m unsure how to do so in a single raised bed.
    Thanks for your time!

  4. The heat in central Florida is to much for me to risk! We need to stop the chemical spraying and weather manipulation with working our atmosphere back into a good natural state of being for improvement for humanity!🙏

  5. Lost 2 cucumber plants to vine borer. Going to work the soil and plant something else. Thank you for the suggestions

  6. I knew you were from the East Coast (no NC accent..)!! Upstate NYer here. I love your videos. You explain things so thoroughly and concisely. Thank you!

  7. Im on my second planting of radishes and they're about ready to be harvested,s im going to try a third planting here in colorado

  8. Where are all the figs? Did I miss the vids? That the #1 crop! Show us the goods 😉

  9. Thank you for introducing me to Kaijari melons, I love cantaloupe and honeydew so I will try to remember to look for seeds for this melon. thank you!!!

  10. I'm sorry, we've canned 105 quarts of tomato juice, 85 quarts of green beans, 70 pints of salsa, 2 cases of tomatoes, 1 case of bread and butter pickles, 2 cases of kosher dill pickles and 1 case of blackberry jam and jelly .Frozen cabbage, stuffed green peppers and corn ( with a second crop of corn coming) . I would like to do a second crop of some things, but, I'm very tired of this canning and freezing, and quite frankly, I'm out of jars,so,I'm done!!! Enough is Enough!!

  11. Dale and Daddy time.🙂
    I have a second round of popcorn growing well…even with a heat index of 110.🍿

  12. I've been trying to plant and sow my cucumbers but the heat is proving to be to much. Today was 104 plus actual temp. The ones I have already planted are doing ok under the shade cloth plus are in full shade during the hottest part of the day but the heat is causing them to drop most of the flowers. The heat is just too much right now for the direct sowed seeds and the young transplants. The seeds will come up fine but the base will start to shrink up after a week or two in both the seeds and transplants. I'm in SE Texas so I have time to wait for the temps to drop back into the 90's.

  13. Is there anything I should do for potatoes for critters? do groundhogs seek these out? do chimpmunks or squirrels dig for these?
