It always surprises me that you don't have a million subscribers (yet). Your knowledge and experience definitely warrants it! I'm in zone 6 outside of Toronto, so everything you talk about is very relevant and informative. Thanks!
I'm zone 6 outside of Toronto too (Oakville). I've found that the seasons are still off by a significant amount, especially in spring. Spring arrives almost a month earlier in Ohio compared to the GTA, despite similar frost dates. Summers are about 1.5-2C (3-4F) cooler, maybe even more where I am by the lake, so heat stress is a bit less of a concern in the summer. Fall is the season that's most similar between Toronto and Ohio, but still a touch cooler here, so I think it's good to start things 1-2 weeks earlier for the fall garden.
I cheating for her on a few websites I'm passing on lots of ways she's helped my garden like her number 3 type seed starting mixture as I'm having great luck and believe my plants are 3 weeks ahead also plants I gifted to friends using the Number 3 mixture she demonstrated.
@@johnjude2685 What's the number 3 type seed starting mix? I've struggled with starting certain kinds of seedlings, not sure if it's the seed starting mix or something else.
A cornstarch slurry works really really well for pre sprouting carrot seeds! Put the seeds and slurry in a plastic bag in a dark spot in your house, then cut the corner of the bag and pipe it directly into the soil once you see they have started to germinate. It works amazing for me in dry high desert for keeping the seeds moist long enough to get them going ☺️ it's also easier then dealing with sticky seeds on damp paper towel. AND you get better spacing and less thinning to do in the end.
It's 1 cup of water, 2 Tbsp of cornstarch, boiled then cooled before you add the seeds! I think I put maybe 2 Tbsp of seed or so in this mix, but probably could do even less. Still had some thinning but not nearly as much as I usually would.
Rain? Dang, I forgot about rain. How was it? I remember... I feel like it was wet. It's so hard to be sure now, though. Gosh, just hearing it again makes me so nostalgic!
For cabbage moths, set out containers of water with rocks in them. These attract wasps which are amazing predators of the eggs and larvae. They totally chow and it’s organic.
Awesome! I have some river rock - would that work? I grew mine in the house for as long as possible and then just put them in containers outside Because bugs always eat them and now I have them covered with shade cloth - so I’m going to try the rocks too
Yes! Depending on size. I cut plastic gallon water/milk jugs in half and use the bottom for wasp water. The rocks need to break the surface (like little islands) so the bees and wasps can climb out.
FINALLY! After much searching I've found someone from my neck of the woods! Such a huge help with further educating me for my specific grow zone and climate. Instantly subscribed...OH-IO!
Tamara I’ve been looking for someone from Midwest Ohio too!!! I have a TH-cam channel with gardening stuff but not near as informative as Jenna here! Great find!
I find that planting clusters of beats in the spring will generate a late summer and fall harvest. Since the clusters are competing they grow slower, establishing deep roots for summer. Once one plant becomes dominant it takes off. The largest one is picked and several others waiting to take it's place repeating the cycle. This allows continual harvest in the late summer and fall. The only issue is with mice that start eating the beats later in fall.
Collard Greens are my go to here in Southern Ontario. I'd say 1 in 100 Canadians actually know what they are but I grew up in Kentucky so I throw a end of Summer Southern food bash every year and it's a good time.
Wow! A great gardening video. Your preamble gives important info about your climate. Your delivery is excellent - excellent diction, excellent language. I can clearly hear every word, even with my mediocre hearing and the low-end audio my cheaper TV. Many channels give me the impression my hearing is pretty bad and worsening. Thank you
I have had a garden all my life but my garden doesn't look like yours you are an expert my dear keep on doing what you do I'm sure you will inspire future gardeners who will learn to do it right. I learned so much from my first time watching I just might bring my tiller back out for some fall harvesting . Thanks!
I live in Ohio.i usually just grow tomato plant and jalapeno peppers plants in buckets around my house.because it's a apt.my landlord lets me.this year I've decided to plant more in buckets behind my house.basil.mint.carrots.lettuce.and tomato and jalapeno peppers.roses and marigolds.next year I'm going to add potatoes and strawberries.
Since you live in Ohio, would you mind sharing how hot your summers get? I am in zone 6b in the high desert of Utah, so we get both snowy cold winters (and mid October frost like mentioned in the video) but also very hot summers. I am wondering what your hot temps in July/August tend to be like? I am nervous about following this planting advice and having all my seeds fry haha
My father always used a board to start carrots. This also prevents birds from digging in the moist soil. He then put the ends up on bricks, still shading the soil while letting the green tops come up 2-4''.
Because I've been so overwhelmed with things in my always too busy life, I thought my garden was just going to be covered over and forgotten until next year. As they year has gone on, some things have settled down and fallen by the wayside, and finding this video has been such an encouragement. July starts in just a few days, but I'm going to give a few of these a try. Gardening is such therapy anyway, isn't it? Thank you for taking the time to do this video!
Lake moderated Southern Ontario zone 6b: Cucumbers: almost ready to transplant for late summer/early fall harvest Summer squash: sowing now for early fall harvest Tomatoes: rooting suckers for early fall harvest Cauliflower, broccoli, cabbage: currently at seedling stage, should be ready to transplant late July/early August Carrots: just had some germinate, will sow more later this month Root parsley: just had some germinate Beets: sowed today Kohlrabi: sowed yesterday Turnips & winter radish: will sow this weekend Peas & fava beans: last year I sowed them in late August/early September which was way too late. Not sure how much earlier I should go... but yeah, I should probably sow them very soon. Just need to figure out where... The thing to keep in mind is even if you don't have space now, there's a pretty good chance you'll have space a month from now. It's hard to predict what pest or other misfortune will take out your plants, or which plants will fall victim, but it's pretty safe for me to say that less than 100% of my plants will survive through the summer. And even if there's no pest, some will get harvested to make way for other stuff, or bolt, or stop producing, or maybe even just get pruned such that there's an increasing amount of sunlight reaching the ground below (ie tomatoes).
I planted for a Fall harvest last year for the first time, I never knew you could do that (New Hampshire here). I was picking and giving away so much lettuce almost toward Thanksgiving, it was awesome! Peas like sugar snap peas do alright too if you time them right.
Thank you for all your videos broken down by month! Watching again for the second year. I am Zone 6B in PA so fairly close to your weather and Dirt type. (I grow mostly in containers and raised beds to avoid the clay 🙂
Your videos are so incredibly helpful and informative. I am also in Ohio, in zone 6a, and am working on creating bountiful fruit and veggie raised garden beds. Was feeling like I was a little behind, but after watching your videos for what to plant July through Sept, I realized I can still harvest quite a bit! Thank you so very much!
I’m so glad to hear this, Kelli! That’s one of the nice things about gardening here- we actually have a decently long growing season, and there are lots of opportunities for additional plantings throughout the season! I hope the rest of the season goes great for you!!
Hi Jenna, I'm also in Ohio, between Lima and Sydney. We do have a unique climate for gardening. We had so much rain and cold ground temps that it was pretty close to June before I got to start planting. About germinating tiny seeds like carrots, I saw on another video the guy used toilet paper instead of towels for all his seeds. I tried this for my tiny seeds and it works great. I just use no more than 2 sheets on the bottom and a single on top, then I moisten and put it on a paper plate and storage bag just the way you did. But, when they sprouted and I was ready to transplant I didn't take them off the toilet paper. I planted them right with it, I didn't break nearly as many seedlings this way. The guy on the video made picking the spouts out so easy, but nope not for me though. I can't wait to check out some of your past videos.
Hi Tina- sounds like you're very close to me! Great tip on the seeds- sounds very much like a homemade version of seed tape, which is excellent for small seeds. Thanks for sharing!
I am very new at doing any sort of gardening, and finally finding someone on TH-cam who lives in the same state as me has helped a lot! Not growing any crops this year, but it is helping me plan for next year! Thank you for putting your knowledge out here for us to learn from, and bounce ideas back and forth with.
I am also in Ohio. I am new to gardening. I have been binging on tour videos. Thank you. Can you when time allows do a video on what supplies/tools you like and where you purchased them? For example the netting. Thank you
1 year ago?? How did I miss this?! .... Jenna, this video is golden for me. So glad it popped up in my feed. I'm a zone 6 as well and we definitely like many of the same crops. Thank you, Jenna!! .... Just a note, last year I got about a month of spring planted pea harvests - this year, much less. Must be the heat. My peas grow quite tall, too, so I'm not sure how I'd shade cloth them -- unless I tried growing them in the arched trellis, which i could cover with shade cloth. Things to try and improve for next year.
Nice to have stumbled upon a fellow Ohio gardener. Very helpful to have growing tips from someone in the same area. I have not been very successful with a fall garden in the past....Will try again with your advice.
I am so glad I found your videos. I am in Ohio also and it is nice to hear information that is relevant to Ohio. Just with you could tell me what is happening to my tomatoes. Started with one plant and now looks like it is happening to others. Leaves turning yellow, brown and curling up. My San Marzano plant is almost dead. Never had this happen before. Aggravating because I just put in raised garden beds this year.
Thanks to my long growing season here in Northern Al, 8a climate. I can still plant another summer crop garden. In july, I save some space for fall planting, towards the end of August First frost date here is typically in November. Stays into the 90's until the end of August. I'm doing a 3rd plant of corn this year. One early spring, one mid summer, and one late summer in the place of the original first planting. I hope to have fresh sweet corn all summer and well into the fall. I mowed down the first crop, added some chicken poo and wood shaving down from my coop, and planted again.
I'm zone 6b/7a Charleston, WV so I'm really happy to have found you since you are the closest to my region plus you are knowledgeable and personable in your video. Will be watching more of your videos!
i just started some sweet corn yesterday in these slick new 1020's i found with 288 fricking cells each🤪, zone 8b, the seed pack said 70 days to maturity so it SEEMS like they should have time🤷♂idk i just love watching seedlings grow its so addicting😍
The local feed/garden store owner told me to plant potatoes this month, so I just got them in a couple days ago. According to him, taters planted in July won't get any blight. I'm in zone 5b, southwestern PA. June was unusually warm and dry here as well. Great for the tomatoes, terrible for the peas.
Here in Southern Ontario we got barely more than 0.5" in the past 4 weeks, so pretty drought-like as well. Not that hot though, late spring had some heat waves but the last couple weeks have been cooler than average.
I'm impressed your local store had potatoes in stock. I was just lamenting the fact that I'd like to plant for a fall potato harvest, but you cannot find seed potatoes here this time of year. So I'm using some of my early summer harvested spuds and possible some super sprouted seed potatoes I held from this spring.
I do all container planting, at least this year. It wasnt planned, but my 'hot pepper' plants I started from seed, just recently got big enough to transplant, I will be getting them into their larger pots and containers soon, I also just recently got a few extra cantaloupe plants that decided to sprout, I'll be taking those to a local community garden, hopefully they will produce into the fall. S IN zone 6 as well.
Hi Jenna! Thank you for the great information! Always helpful. I’m in zone 6b in W. PA , so I think your tips will really help. It’s nice to find someone that is knowledgeable and also close by in terms of climate. Enjoy your summer! 😊
Thanks Jenna! This is great info - especially as I am in zone 6 (pittsburgh area). I have been thinking about trying some fall crops - now I feel equipped!
Thanks for this video!!!! I'm zone 6b southeastern Ohio... We have had so much rain im over it... Thanks for posting this on my birthday during a thunderstorm 😂😂😂😂
Thanks for another great video from an Ohio garden! I just posted my first garden tour on the 4th, you are an inspiration for me, and reminded me not to give up on carrots! Such a struggle to get them going.
Im in Ohio too by the Lake in Cleveland, Today is Friday the rain just missed us seems when the rain does come its not a soaking kind. The ground is cracking seems like all my plants are behind. After a brief rain lastweek everything perked up 3 days in the upper 80's plants loved it.
I just watched your carrot trial, after having tried many of these methods, and not being terribly satisfied with the results. I just decided to broadcast my carrot seeds, no soaking, etc., cover them lightly with home compost, and water lightly every 2 hours. They are in a dappled shade area, and I waited till there were some cooler days in the forecast. Within 4-5 days, I had lots of tiny sprouts. Yesterday was in the 90s, and the next week or so, so hopefully they will do okay.
I wish every garden video posted their zone up front like this. When I buy seeds, I like to buy seeds from local sellers, better chance I think for success.
Agreed with the pea problem. Same thing here if not worse. Heck, the warm October screwed up most of our brassica production last fall. The beets looked fantastic Jenna! Thanks for the soil temperature tricks. Soon to plant the carrots and other fall things. 👍
@@GrowfullywithJenna I wouldn't start them any later than mid August. First frost around here is October 25, so obviously it could be as early as October 10 or 15. In 2020, used early Alaska in the fall and got ZERO production. We grew Sugar Snaps in the Spring 2022. Did well. The problem is that it is still a little hot in September, hi 70s low 80s. I think that is why the early Alaska crop failed. Anyway, if you started late August, they wouldn't be ready until after the first frost, meaning, they won't make it unless they are covered in a hot frame etc. I just took a quick look at the NC Extension. I could not find anything in there records and articles addressing fall peas. lol. I suppose it is not recommended around here. :)
TH-cam seems to have stopped putting your videos in my general mix... but I'm glad I dove into your "back catalog" as this perfect for my current garden (Mid summer in Australia). I'm looking forward to setting up my seedlings as per your suggestions :D Thank you!
I'm in zone 5 and I was gonna plant first week of Aug. All my produce wont be done in August. I just now have flowers on my tomatoes. I dont have room for anything until I can clear out the summer crops.
Yeah not easy to plant in early July in zone 5. Only space I'll have is where I pulled out cabbage, dill, peas, and cilantro. And that'll be July 7-14.
Thanks! The 'Tiara' variety is excellent for all small spaces too- so even if you only have a square foot left in your garden beds, you can squeeze one in!
I absolutely love your videos. I'm in Ohio and get excited when I get a notification of a new video. I'm learning so so much from you I just can't thank you enough.... Your the reason I actually started from seeds this year. You inspired me. Thank you 😊
Great video. I especially appreciate you taking the time to show how to pre-germinate some seeds and for throwing in the pop-up about parsnips. This spring was my first year growing parsnips and I can't believe how long they took to finally get going.
Hi, also from Ohio, 6b. So glad I found you. I plant entire garden in containers. This has been a season with high temps to crazy rains. I'll be watching for new things to learn!
I used the cornstarch gel method for carrots this year and it works well. Soaked the carrot seeds for a couple of days, mix up a cornstarch gel and mix the carrot seed in it once it has cooled off. Put it in a zip lock bag, cut a tiny corner off and squirt the seeds into the soil. It keeps them moist and helps space them out better.
I've been watching the Ohio weather....when I check mine....and you have had more rain than me....it has been hot and dry and windy....! It's been a challenge to keep things watered....I've tried the pea thing...and I've never been able to get enough light...and time before a heavy frost....beets....yes are OK...carrots not so in my summer heat.....and yes the board trick REALY WORKS.....for carrots....and beets....but I plant in mass.....so things shade themselves....as always a very informative video...👍
Interesting point about the netting. This year I put netted bags around my grapes, I thought that would stop the mice....🤣 They ate right through the netted bags....
I’m also zone 6. I just restarted peas. They were the only casualty of that really dry/hot period we had this summer. They’re my daughter’s learning crop and she has really gotten into the problem solving of it all. Her other crop is carrots so she’ll need to watch this.
This is my first attempt at a garden this year. Just moved out of nyc and finally have a large enough yard. I'm kinda trying a lil of everything, goin with the throw poop at the wall and see what sticks theory! Great video. I'll definitely be dropping in some carrots and beets this month to see how I do for the fall.

I’ve heard from quite a few gardeners up your way! Always wonderful to hear from my fellow Ohio gardeners!!
I am also in Ohio. I am new to gardening. I have been binging on tour videos. Thank you. Can you when time allows do a video on what supplies/tools you like and where you purchased them? For example the netting. Thank you
Ooh! I will certainly try to do this- thank you for the suggestion!
Hi from Sheffield Lake, OH! I have been looking for a garden TH-camr near me so happy to have found your channel!
Hello! Wonderful to hear from a fellow Ohioan!
1 year ago?? How did I miss this?! .... Jenna, this video is golden for me. So glad it popped up in my feed. I'm a zone 6 as well and we definitely like many of the same crops. Thank you, Jenna!! .... Just a note, last year I got about a month of spring planted pea harvests - this year, much less. Must be the heat. My peas grow quite tall, too, so I'm not sure how I'd shade cloth them -- unless I tried growing them in the arched trellis, which i could cover with shade cloth. Things to try and improve for next year.
I am wanting to grow a few fall crops this year. For me, it will be the first time to try a fall garden. Thanks for the great information.
Hooray! I'm glad to hear it, Tonya. Best wishes for a great fall garden!
Nice to have stumbled upon a fellow Ohio gardener. Very helpful to have growing tips from someone in the same area. I have not been very successful with a fall garden in the past....Will try again with your advice.
I'm glad to hear you'll give it another try- very best of luck!!
I am so glad I found your videos. I am in Ohio also and it is nice to hear information that is relevant to Ohio. Just with you could tell me what is happening to my tomatoes. Started with one plant and now looks like it is happening to others. Leaves turning yellow, brown and curling up. My San Marzano plant is almost dead. Never had this happen before. Aggravating because I just put in raised garden beds this year.
It’s possible they have late blight or septoria leaf spot. These are unfortunately very common diseases here in Ohio.
Great video from a naturally gifted teacher. I’m glad I stumbled onto this as I’m about to do my fall harvest planting. Thanks!
Thank you and happy planting!
Thanks to my long growing season here in Northern Al, 8a climate. I can still plant another summer crop garden. In july, I save some space for fall planting, towards the end of August First frost date here is typically in November. Stays into the 90's until the end of August. I'm doing a 3rd plant of corn this year. One early spring, one mid summer, and one late summer in the place of the original first planting. I hope to have fresh sweet corn all summer and well into the fall. I mowed down the first crop, added some chicken poo and wood shaving down from my coop, and planted again.
Nice! Taking full advantage of that long season!
Thanks! You're awesome! Your videos are to the point, and don't drag stuff out!
Glad you like them!
Your videos are so helpful! I'm also planting more green beans, cucumbers and zucchini to replace the ones getting tired.
I'm glad to hear it- thank you!
I seriously hope you can team up with epic gardening. You would be a great addition over there and your knowledge would help so many peiple
Oh goodness! That would be amazing, but I'm just small fries to Epic Gardening!
@@GrowfullywithJenna you greatly under estimate yourself. You are an untapped demographic that would be an amazing addition to the bunch over there.
Oh wow by the lake we had dry & cool June. Great video Jenna. I am planting my fall seeds now watching the video. 😀
What a difference that lake effect makes! Happy planting!
I'm zone 6b/7a Charleston, WV so I'm really happy to have found you since you are the closest to my region plus you are knowledgeable and personable in your video. Will be watching more of your videos!
Thank you! I hope you find some useful tidbits here! Always wonderful to hear from my gardening neighbors 😄
Cincinnati here - we start Fall crops now. The week after the 4th of July holiday.
i just started some sweet corn yesterday in these slick new 1020's i found with 288 fricking cells each🤪, zone 8b, the seed pack said 70 days to maturity so it SEEMS like they should have time🤷♂idk i just love watching seedlings grow its so addicting😍
So helpful. Mid IL right at border zone 5/6. I am doing ok with early planting, but want to up my game for Fall harvest.
The local feed/garden store owner told me to plant potatoes this month, so I just got them in a couple days ago. According to him, taters planted in July won't get any blight.
I'm in zone 5b, southwestern PA. June was unusually warm and dry here as well. Great for the tomatoes, terrible for the peas.
Here in Southern Ontario we got barely more than 0.5" in the past 4 weeks, so pretty drought-like as well. Not that hot though, late spring had some heat waves but the last couple weeks have been cooler than average.
I'm impressed your local store had potatoes in stock. I was just lamenting the fact that I'd like to plant for a fall potato harvest, but you cannot find seed potatoes here this time of year. So I'm using some of my early summer harvested spuds and possible some super sprouted seed potatoes I held from this spring.
@@GrowfullywithJenna just grocery store potatoes. The feed store only gets them in the spring.
@@faintlyartistic7803 Ah- OK.. that makes sense!
@@GrowfullywithJenna my Menards has fingerling seed potatoes right now.
I do all container planting, at least this year. It wasnt planned, but my 'hot pepper' plants I started from seed, just recently got big enough to transplant, I will be getting them into their larger pots and containers soon, I also just recently got a few extra cantaloupe plants that decided to sprout, I'll be taking those to a local community garden, hopefully they will produce into the fall. S IN zone 6 as well.
Good speaker. Great information presented in a easily followed manner. Thank you.
Thanks so much!
Hi Jenna! Thank you for the great information! Always helpful. I’m in zone 6b in W. PA , so I think your tips will really help. It’s nice to find someone that is knowledgeable and also close by in terms of climate. Enjoy your summer! 😊
Thank you! Hope you enjoy your summer too!
We need to keep in touch because I also have a small garden and I would love to start growing so let’s be friends and plant buddies
I need to get busy--thanks for the inspiration, Jenna!
What a lovely lady and a great garden - thank you!
Thank you!
Thanks Jenna! This is great info - especially as I am in zone 6 (pittsburgh area). I have been thinking about trying some fall crops - now I feel equipped!
You're welcome! I hope you do give the fall crops a try!
Me too!! I’m in Reading PA
I'm in Pittsburgh area too.
@@alice_rabbit8345I'm in Beaver County let's network
I’m in the Pgh area, too! So nice to have an eastern zone 6, even if we’re 6b.
Awesome. Will be doing this coming up shortly.
Glad to hear it!
Thanks for this video!!!! I'm zone 6b southeastern Ohio... We have had so much rain im over it... Thanks for posting this on my birthday during a thunderstorm 😂😂😂😂
Happy birthday, Jennifer! I hope it dries up for you soon!
Thanks for another great video from an Ohio garden! I just posted my first garden tour on the 4th, you are an inspiration for me, and reminded me not to give up on carrots! Such a struggle to get them going.
Ooh, I'll have to check it out!
Im in Ohio too by the Lake in Cleveland, Today is Friday the rain just missed us seems when the rain does come its not a soaking kind. The ground is cracking seems like all my plants are behind. After a brief rain lastweek everything perked up 3 days in the upper 80's plants loved it.
I hope you get some much need rain very soon!
Thanks for sharing what you do. It can be challenging to garden. Cook, clean, exercise and spend time with the kids.
You are welcome!! It can indeed be challenging!
Great video! The board trick works well for brassicas also.
Good to know!
Happy I found your channel. I'm in the Eaton area so all of this really relevant to me
I'm happy too! Welcome, and I hope you can find some useful tidbits here!
Your garden is enviable. Kudos.
Thank you!
I just watched your carrot trial, after having tried many of these methods, and not being terribly satisfied with the results.
I just decided to broadcast my carrot seeds, no soaking, etc., cover them lightly with home compost, and water lightly every 2 hours. They are in a dappled shade area, and I waited till there were some cooler days in the forecast. Within 4-5 days, I had lots of tiny sprouts. Yesterday was in the 90s, and the next week or so, so hopefully they will do okay.
I hope they do great!
Lol that intense afternoon shade!! Be careful yall
Great video Jenna!
😆
Great information to us gardeners in Ohio! Thank you!
I wish every garden video posted their zone up front like this. When I buy seeds, I like to buy seeds from local sellers, better chance I think for success.
I personally find it to be a helpful reference point!
Agreed with the pea problem. Same thing here if not worse. Heck, the warm October screwed up most of our brassica production last fall.
The beets looked fantastic Jenna!
Thanks for the soil temperature tricks. Soon to plant the carrots and other fall things. 👍
I imagine the peas could be trickier there with your heat! How late in the season do you think you could start peas there?
@@GrowfullywithJenna I wouldn't start them any later than mid August. First frost around here is October 25, so obviously it could be as early as October 10 or 15.
In 2020, used early Alaska in the fall and got ZERO production. We grew Sugar Snaps in the Spring 2022. Did well. The problem is that it is still a little hot in September, hi 70s low 80s. I think that is why the early Alaska crop failed. Anyway, if you started late August, they wouldn't be ready until after the first frost, meaning, they won't make it unless they are covered in a hot frame etc.
I just took a quick look at the NC Extension. I could not find anything in there records and articles addressing fall peas. lol. I suppose it is not recommended around here. :)
I'm in 6B in Utah. It's harsh here. Wind, heat, no rain, minimal shade. Thanks for the tips.
TH-cam seems to have stopped putting your videos in my general mix... but I'm glad I dove into your "back catalog" as this perfect for my current garden (Mid summer in Australia). I'm looking forward to setting up my seedlings as per your suggestions :D Thank you!
That darn TH-cam algorithm likes to do that! But I'm glad you came back to visit!
I'm in zone 5 and I was gonna plant first week of Aug. All my produce wont be done in August. I just now have flowers on my tomatoes. I dont have room for anything until I can clear out the summer crops.
Yeah not easy to plant in early July in zone 5. Only space I'll have is where I pulled out cabbage, dill, peas, and cilantro. And that'll be July 7-14.
I’ve had to really restrain myself from planting in every available space this year, specifically so I have some room available for later plantings.
Cabbages in containers, what a great idea! They take up too much space in our garden so this is a perfect alternative. Garden looks amazing!
Thanks! The 'Tiara' variety is excellent for all small spaces too- so even if you only have a square foot left in your garden beds, you can squeeze one in!
@@GrowfullywithJenna I’ll remember that, thanks!
Thanks!
You’re welcome- thanks for watching!
I absolutely love your videos. I'm in Ohio and get excited when I get a notification of a new video. I'm learning so so much from you I just can't thank you enough.... Your the reason I actually started from seeds this year. You inspired me. Thank you 😊
Thank you so much, Jamie!! I'm so glad you gave starting from seed a try- I hope it went well for you!
Great video. I especially appreciate you taking the time to show how to pre-germinate some seeds and for throwing in the pop-up about parsnips. This spring was my first year growing parsnips and I can't believe how long they took to finally get going.
Thanks, Randy! And yes- parsnips take crazy long! I thought I did something wrong the first time I grew them.
Hi, also from Ohio, 6b. So glad I found you. I plant entire garden in containers. This has been a season with high temps to crazy rains. I'll be watching for new things to learn!
Great to hear from a fellow Ohio gardener! It has indeed been a crazy season!
Thanks again Jenna. Very timely.
You're so welcome!
I used the cornstarch gel method for carrots this year and it works well. Soaked the carrot seeds for a couple of days, mix up a cornstarch gel and mix the carrot seed in it once it has cooled off. Put it in a zip lock bag, cut a tiny corner off and squirt the seeds into the soil. It keeps them moist and helps space them out better.
Thanks for sharing this!
I've never heard of this, but what a great tip!! Thank you!
I've been watching the Ohio weather....when I check mine....and you have had more rain than me....it has been hot and dry and windy....! It's been a challenge to keep things watered....I've tried the pea thing...and I've never been able to get enough light...and time before a heavy frost....beets....yes are OK...carrots not so in my summer heat.....and yes the board trick REALY WORKS.....for carrots....and beets....but I plant in mass.....so things shade themselves....as always a very informative video...👍
I hope more rain heads your way, Jim! Keeping everything watered in that weather is a major task!
Hello, new gardener here from Allen County, Ohio.
Hello there! Lovely to hear from a fellow Ohio gardener!
Interesting point about the netting. This year I put netted bags around my grapes, I thought that would stop the mice....🤣
They ate right through the netted bags....
Ugh... yes.. they will chew threw ANYTHING!!
Just found your channel and this video specifically right in time here in 6b. Thank you!
You’re welcome!
I’m also zone 6. I just restarted peas. They were the only casualty of that really dry/hot period we had this summer. They’re my daughter’s learning crop and she has really gotten into the problem solving of it all. Her other crop is carrots so she’ll need to watch this.
I'm glad to hear peas were your only casualty-- I hope they do well in the fall for you!
I just love your channel. I planted my cabbage at the same time you did following your advice and I have cabbage in June
Thank you, Debbie!
Good info, especially the checking the seeds expiration method, growing more carrots and peas and spinich now for fall
Thanks!
I tried cabbage, Broccoli and cauliflower in pots this year and they are doing great!
Great to hear!
Hi from Toronto Canada. Radishes, carrots, beets and beans 🥳🥳🥳
Hello there!
Dayton here. Thanks so much for the local advice!
I'm only about an hour away from you!
This is my first attempt at a garden this year. Just moved out of nyc and finally have a large enough yard. I'm kinda trying a lil of everything, goin with the throw poop at the wall and see what sticks theory! Great video. I'll definitely be dropping in some carrots and beets this month to see how I do for the fall.
Sometimes that's the very best way to do it 😄. Glad to hear you've finally got a large enough yard to garden- that's awesome, congrats!
Be Aware of rabbits or bunny 🐰, they ran around my garden and eating or just cutting whatever on its way.
Your videos are always so interesting, yet being very detailed. You’re a great Teacher! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much!
I love this and every videos you post Jenna.
Thank you so much!
Zone 7b and I will be working on my fall garden in a week
