Growing broccoli and a purple sprouting one, cauliflower, Napa cabbage, Rapini, red giant mustard greens, radishes and daikons, bunching onions and leeks, carrots, different lettuces, kales, spinach and chards. I’ve slowly since mid September been filling in every 2-3 weeks. I’m just trying things out and seeing what works. So much to learn. Last year my fall garden was a total flop. This year I carefully planned a layout, selected seeds of things I like and some new to try, made better hoop covers, for bugs.. then suddenly temperatures shot up for a couple weeks so they needed shade cover, and now frost cover. I’m in Sonoma County 9a-10a, that’s what Google says at least. I have to say everything looks amazing and all the leaf stuff has been delish! Thank you thank you! For filling my brain with just what I need!
I cant even begin to tell you how much your YT videos and website have helped me be a successful gardener! I am so grateful 🙏🏼 Right now I have happily growing (all SD Seed Co seeds!) broccoli, rapini broccoli, cauliflower, fennel, carrots, beets, parsley, cilantro, red onion, celery, alyssum, kale, lemon mint bee balm, and mammoth sweat pea! 😍 I live here in SD and my garden is in OB. I am also succession planting this year, thanks to your advice! PS please tell me you're going to sell that shirt on your website!!
Fallbrook 10b - Started nasturtiums, sweet peas, alyssum, four o'clocks, and scabiosa. Planted beets, carrots, radishes, spinach, and lots of lettuce. Overwintering peppers soon. May try the black magic kale per your suggestion. My fruit trees are loaded this year, with many persimmons, pomegranates, apples, avocados, and citrus. Enjoy your videos and all the information you provide.
Hallelujah for a gardner that understands our crazy planting schedule! 9b SE Texas Thank you! In ground garlic, onions (on Monday) carrots, kale, lettuce, spinach, beets, dill, fennel, nasturtiums, parsley, cilantro, oregano , mustard. Overwinter in green house lots of stuff. Blessings!
Low desert 9b. Had to replant most of our fall/winter garden. The temps started to cool down, but it got really hot again. The second planting is off and running. Peas, lettuce, radish, carrots and broccoli. Thanks!
I just received my 2025 gardening calendar, and it's packed with so much information! It has already helped me, and it will be my constant companion next year as well. :) It's a wonderful resource for this area. Thank you for putting all that information into one place.
I planted peas and the birds ate them in the first week I put them outside. I do have sage growing right now from seed. It is itty bitty but can’t wait until I can harvest them next Fall and sharing them with neighbors. I will be planting more poppies: native California, Hungarian bread seed poppies and I think that’s it. Let’s see how my husky cherry tomatoes overwinter. I’m still getting fruit on them. The garlic and mustard greens are doing ok and my 2nd round of beefsteak tomatoes that I planted in August have flowered but let’s see how much fruit they’ll be able to set. I got some beans that I’m going to harvest in a couple weeks (just waiting for them to dry on the vine). I only had 10 bean seeds and the plants are producing well. Hoping I can replant them again next season and get a decent harvest. Thanks for all the info guides!
I am in San Diego County but at 4000 feet elevation up in the mountains. So we get colder than in town. Can I still follow all your videos, what changes should I make?
Very helpful video! I was worried that it was too late to plant Brassica’s. I planted broccoli but apparently it was too soon because it bolted so fast! I’ll get the hang of this!
Great shirt and video. I am in zone 9b up here by the San Francisco Bay Area. I just pulled out my summer garden and I’m getting ready to plant my fall seeds. I have the roots and leaves you recommend. I wonder if snap peas will grow now.
I purchased a Napa cabbage and kept the bottom stem. I've been keeping it in water and it's sprouting. My question is can I plant it outside in raised bed? Zone 10b 😎
It’s kind of funny you say fruits. I am still picking berries and our tomatoes are going on and on. I have actually harvested all of my tomatoes, but then I got sick and didn’t look at them for 2 weeks. When I looked again, they were full of tomatoes again. Our fruits are confused this year, so we are still getting strawberries, raspberry and a few mulberries. My mayor lemon tree are unfortunately also ripening fruits, so we will get very small lemons once we harvest in January/february. We have a small indoor nursery in a bathroom we don’t use, so I started all of my cold season plants in early September. I am happy I did, since I messed up some and had to start over. Now we are planting nice large brassicas, lettuce, beets, kohlrabi, parsnips and radishes. Some we direct sow. As for carrots. We grow carrots all year round. I grow them in container in partial shade. I have 4 containers, once one are empty I start a new crops and move on to harvest the next one. Indoors carrots don’t last very long, but they do great if kept in the soil. This way we always have carrots to pick for dinner. Lettuce we use to prevent weeds. I buy mixed cutting lettuce seeds, and spread them out anywhere there is bare soil. Lettuce grow very fast, so they are an excellent competitor for weeds. Since we have done this for 4 years, we now have lettuce volunteers everywhere, something we and our neighbors don’t mind the least.
Thank you for the great video! I live in zone 12b and find your info so helpful. Question: is there a good way to adapt your zone 9/10 tips to a hotter 12b? For example, follow the tips, but advance it by a few months? Thank you!
12b in the house! Are you PR or HI, or somewhere else? I've never grown there, but I would imagine you have a shorter winter which means you really want to start brassicas early so they can mature without hitting spring and going to flower once it heats up again. Hours of sunlight might be different depending how closer to the equator you are than us in San Diego. Thanks for watching! - Jeff
@SanDiegoSeedCompany thank you for your helpful reply and stoke! Aloha from 12b in Hawaii. Fall has been such a nice change from the summer heat and my peppers, eggplants and cucumbers are finally thriving. I can't wait for my do-over of tomatoes 🍅❤🍅 and I'll definitely try your recommended brassicas!
I planted my first round of brassicas over the past month as I pulled out my summer garden. But I have so many extras. Wiill those be too big to plant after the first round is done?

I love your t-shirt!! 8b here, but planting some cauliflower 😋
Amazing info on the seed packets. The calendar is my gardening bible 😅

Never give up in the garden!

Yay! Can't wait to hear more :)
Haha, had to laugh because I thought your watermelon was a slice of pizza 🍕. Love the channel!
I did also🌝
Pizza would totally be a warm season crop!
PPSSHHHH. DUHHH!?!?!?!
I’m I Napa Valley. Growing peas ,mixed lettuce, beets, carrots, turnips, kale, chard, garlic,onions and potatoes (and leeks)❤
I have cabbage, brocoli, cauliflower, garlic and potatoes going in my beds. Onions going in later today!

On fruits… my loquats are flowering now. They fruit in feb in san diego which is crazy
Good clarification, the rule applies to annuals only 👍🏼
My eggplant (3rd year in the ground) has 4 fruits on it. I also overwintered peppers and Ukrainian tomatoes with a lot of luck. I’m here in the OC.
1st time coming across your videos and loved this one. Very good info.
Happy to have you!
planting perennials/native flowers in fall! I don’t have to water (hardly at all) until spring 😅
I am in San Diego County but at 4000 feet elevation up in the mountains. So we get colder than in town. Can I still follow all your videos, what changes should I make?
This is a great channel for you, just watch out for frost and cover any plants you have outside those nights.
Very helpful video! I was worried that it was too late to plant Brassica’s. I planted broccoli but apparently it was too soon because it bolted so fast! I’ll get the hang of this!
No, you can still get them going! They'll grow pretty slow through December and January but good to start some now still if you have the room
Great shirt and video. I am in zone 9b up here by the San Francisco Bay Area. I just pulled out my summer garden and I’m getting ready to plant my fall seeds. I have the roots and leaves you recommend. I wonder if snap peas will grow now.
Great time for snap peas, but watch out, they'll grow really slowly until the daylight hours increase in January.
I purchased a Napa cabbage and kept the bottom stem. I've been keeping it in water and it's sprouting. My question is can I plant it outside in raised bed? Zone 10b 😎
Yes you can, but they 2nd head won't be as big.

Great information. Thank you!! What about shallots? Do you have a vidoe on starting them from seed. Can I direct seed in November or too late?
All the info in this video applies to shallots too, enjoy! th-cam.com/video/Axostnmurz0/w-d-xo.html
@@SanDiegoSeedCompany Thank you

Can we still plant strawberry runners in Zone 9a in November? Do they usually have enough time to root?
Yes, plenty of time!
I planted my first round of brassicas over the past month as I pulled out my summer garden. But I have so many extras. Wiill those be too big to plant after the first round is done?
Pot them up so they don't get root bound and put them in the ground when you have the space.
need that shirt lol
No fruit November! Gotcha 😅
Sick shirt pot head 🤘🏾
Surprised I'm the first person to mention Potatoes are from South America! (nerd alert)
Also the rats have eaten the heads off all my kale plants :(
No alert need, we're all nerds here 🤓 Thanks for dropping facts!
lol I thought it was tomato, pizza & eggplant
I actually like the taste of kale. 🫤 But, the bacon and garlic I cook it in probably helps. 😆 🥓🧄🥬
