Prep & plant the fall garden with me– in this video I’ll share how I prep beds and plant my vegetable transplants for the fall garden (including brassicas, lettuce & chard) in my Ohio, Zone 6a garden… as well as a few tips for success and how to deal with common insect pests.

I have been looking for some hoops like you use in your garden but haven't seen what I really liked yet. Can you share where you got your hoops? I checked your Amazon store and didn't see them.
Where did you purchase your metal rods for your tunnels?
Maybe you have them, but I find brass quick connects very handy and quick. I attach them to all hoses and spray attachments.
Lol, good thing it was a soaker hose when you left the water on. Yes, it’s been very dry after all the flooding rain this summer.
We normally don’t have slugs, but I have two clay beds and believe slugs may have ate most of the fall cauliflower seedlings. Not sure if I can get them going still—we will see.
It is cooling off in WI also and heating up by weekend and yes to bug netting and shade cloth. I didn’t mulch yet and may scrape up some pine needles.
Starting to wrap most things up and preserve harvest tomorrow. Picking tomatoes at blush to ripen has helped get better quality fruit as it was a bad tomato year with very early blight.
I’m curious – what is the purpose of planting the cover crops?
I've left my hose on many times. Lol. Also ran over it with my mower a time or two as well.
Great information Jenna.
I'm in Florida so I have 2 month's before I start planting. Amending the soil now.
I'm in Wisconsin zone 5b and we have had abundant rain this year. Mixed blessing- virtually no need to water , but slug and earwig population has exploded and I lost a lot of brassicas .
I’m not a fan of this cool snap in NE Ohio. My kids started back to school this week, and my 11yr old had outgrown his jacket and hoodies. We’re going to have to hit up Kohl’s this weekend and have him try on stuff. Yes it’s going back to our typical August temps, but only for so long. He’s a very tall kid, and I put off buying the new long pants as long as I could. Didn’t want to size him up in June only to have that all outgrown by August. It must be all these garden veggies I’m feeding him. Or the fact that I have cousins who are 6’5”.
…..want to know the name of the giant onions your shown us in another video ; and fine agai this video I don't find again…..🌝 thanks 😍
i don't think i understand what a cover crop is
How late can I plant cold weather crops?
Thank you for all your Great Gardening information!
I love this cooler weather!
Great video! Thank You for sharing and GOD BLESS.
Best growing season!
I appreciate your content so much. I share your approach to gardening and "waste not want not" using what you have. Your garden is incredible, just wanted to send a note of appreciation for how you share your knowledge, experience, and real-life (not influencer-perfect) gardening adventures. ❤
Girl you havin all those slugs in your bare hand gives me the willies! 😱 You're a braver soul than me 😅
You always impress me with your energy and love gardening…..👍 I had that till a few years ago ….but my back is in bad shape and I now have difficulty bending down….
Your channel looks interesting… I cannot work with the constant ads, many of which are exceedingly long. Bye!
Just planted a bunch of beets, chard, and spinach. Hoping to try harvesting beets when it’s cold to see if they come out any sweeter. Kale is still going crazy, so I won’t be planting more of those. Tempted to try growing some in the house over the winter.
Moving soon into my forever home in Lenawee County, MI. My fingers are a very light shade of green, unlike yours, but your friendly, encouraging way of explaining gardening gives me such joy and excitement to try on my own. And try I will! Many thanks for sharing your experience !!!
Thank you so much Jenna for all of your help and information. I'm a newbie recently retired RN who has found a love for gardening. I am learning 🙂 I have 6 raised 10×10 garden beds to start planting now for Fall harvest. I live in Inland NW Idaho in Zone 6-6b and Winters are very cold and snowy~ sometimes getting to negative degrees. So, hoping my Fall season will produce some veggies and I can learn what to do with my garden during Winter. I enjoy your videos and have just found them on YouTube~ thanks sooooo much , Patty 🙂
So grass clippings won’t grow weeds? I’ve always been hesitant to use my lawn grass clippings because I didn’t want to add weeds, so I’d buy straw.
Slugs definitely fall into my “you’d be sort of weirdly cute if you weren’t my arch nemesis” category
Great timing! I'm hardening off my seedlings now. As always, thanks for a great video.
