Hi! "Northern" gardener here, Zone 5b Iowa. We're at about 50 days until frost and I just sowed peas, lettuce, kale, carrots, pansies, spinach and zucchini. Yes, more zucchini! Last year I had some harvest in 45 days and it's in a grow bag so if I need to move it inside for a night, I can. It's not too late for lots of stuff in my area!💚🌿
Thank you, that’s a great insight! I’m not super familiar with what it’s like to grow in northern zones. That’s great you can still plant so many things! Do you have covers?
Nice to see you got your own TH-cam channel Meg, Been watching you on Epic Garden with Kevin. Ether I watch on my phone or if I’m home I watch TH-cam on my TV. Joe from Springfield Missouri.
My problem is, having enough space for the fall crops. I still have summer stuff going and not a lot of room for fall brassicas. Might have to do them in containers and plan better for next year.
I always struggle with this too! This year I did a little better but still crowded. I’m going to take out some tomatoes that are diseased, and also when my corn is done soon these will go in it’s place. Timing is always so hard to work out! But brassicas do excellent in containers!
Excited to try the Tatsoi, I tried some bok choy in the spring but we had a quick change from cold to hot and they bolted immediately. Excited for things to cool off here for Autumn planting!
You will love the tatsoi! And yes, it’s so much harder for me to grow these cool weather crops in spring as well, because we barely have a spring where I’m located. Everything just bolts like crazy. But fall is always a great time to grow here!
Texas 8a My sunflowers were decimated by grasshoppers this year and turned black. Also covered in thrips and aphids. I won’t be growing them inside my garden again. I will grow them in a different area from now on.
Oh no!! I’m so sorry. Do you have any lizards in your garden? They usually take care of my grasshoppers! Little anoles are the best at helping in the garden
@@meggrowsplants I see an occasional tiny lizard but our chickens take care of a lot of grasshoppers but they are 12 feet in the air hiding from the chickens 😂
Hey Meg! What do you do about Spiders? If you see one in your garden, do you kill them? Or use a repellent? I'm a huge aracnaphobe! Today is my first time planting seeds, and I already saw a brown spider!💀
I bought it from Costco about 3 years ago. Here’s the link to it! www.costco.com/cedarcraft-self-watering-elevated-cedar-planter-with-greenhouse-and-bug-cover.product.100742725.html
It’ll go in the greenhouse! But if I didn’t have that I’d be just letting them germinate outside since it’s warm enough. Or you can def do grow lights as well
I stopped growing lettuce bc it would become infested with slugs, any tips on how to prevent that besides the beer trick...im in rhode island...blessings ❤
You can try planting herbs they don’t like, like rosemary, sage etc but honestly that hasn’t worked that well for me :( a lot of people like sprinkling a circle of diatomaceous earth around their veggies but just be aware that can kill beneficial insects too
So I did the chicken thing during Covid and now I’m starting to garden, so sort of backward from you maybe? I have to get steroid shots to be outside in the spring 😒. I think the hardest part for me to start a fall garden will be teeing out my first plants (assuming they make it all summer🔥) Anyway, enjoying your videos… I’m in 7a and relying on similarly located gardeners for some good insights :)
Meg plant grocery store onion bottoms around the kale, aphids should stay away. My curly kale stayed aphid free.
Good idea!!

I'm from Raleigh and I saw you on one of the Epic gardening videos and was SO EXCITED to find a youtuber in zone 7b 😆
Hiiiii! Welcome 🫶🏼🫶🏼 I love Raleigh!
Okay Meg! Another NC gardener needing inspiration for fall planting 😉I’m loving all the purple veggies 🥦 will have to try some
Nice to see you got your own TH-cam channel Meg, Been watching you on Epic Garden with Kevin. Ether I watch on my phone or if I’m home I watch TH-cam on my TV. Joe from Springfield Missouri.
I started my seeds last week and they’re already sprouting 😭😭👏🏼Greetings from Missouri!!
That’s awesome!! What zone are you in?
@@meggrowsplants Zone 6a. This is my first time growing from seed, so it’s been hard to be patient😅
Love seeing all the Baker Creek seeds! They are from here and I LOOOVE their variety! I have to try the ones you have from the other seed company!
They have lots of unique variety!
Im in South Carolina zone 8a close to Charlotte, Thank you for the reminder to get going on my fall garden like right now! Lol 😅 love your channel!

Me too my sweet potatoes are about to get the boot😂😂 I need that spot
Brassicas grow good in bags

Loving your videos Meg!! Keep en coming 🎉🎉🎉🎉.
Thank you so much!!
Your tiktoks inspired my to get my garden cleaned and to start growing! Killed a succulent recently so this is gonna be wild 😅 love from the uk!!
If it’s any consolation, succulents are so hard for me to keep alive!! lol. You got this!!
So much inspiration Meg - THANK YOU! ❤
& thank you for being here 🫶🏼

I’m in CLT too and having a terrible time gardening here! 😂 New to the south and its pests and storms!
🎉🎉🎉 Great Video Friend
Thank you for sharing 🙏
I love your videos!❤
I'd hate to see how much you plant when you're *not* tired! :)

Nice vidio great planting 😊
Is there a list of all of the seeds you mentioned? Thanks
Where did you buy/get your raised planter with the cover? I would love to try my first 'salad box' like yours!!

What would suggest for a 1 person gardening
What zone is Vancouver, BC?🌱
Great video! Will you be placing this tray under grow light or just out in the garden ? Thanks
It’ll go in the greenhouse! But if I didn’t have that I’d be just letting them germinate outside since it’s warm enough. Or you can def do grow lights as well

My growing zone is 12 but there's barely any information about growing in a zone higher than 10.
Love your work plz reply 😍😍😍
Hii. Thank you so much!
