I planted my carrot seeds underneath all my cucumber foliage this year and I am pretty sure I have close to 100% germination rate. It’s amazing. Gonna keep that relationship going.
Shanni is so knowledgeable and presents the content with such confidence. Very pleasurable to watch and learn from this lady. Thank you Baker Creek for the excellent information. Thanks from Mansfield!
Great suggestions especially love the recommended varieties! I will throw some tips as well :) for carrots, a variety that does well in heavy clay is called Danvers. A tip I just saw on James Prigioni's channel was to sow them then "mulch" them with a flat board on top for a week - sounds like the best way to keep it cool and moist while they pop for sure! Thanks Shannie, you & Baker Creek are killin' it!
Calendula repelling pests is probably the reason cabbage moths haven't bothered a kale plant which is surrounded by Calendula, Basil, Chives, Thyme, Sage. Combined must be enough to camouflage/ disguise scent of the kale plant.
I LOVE these videos! I share them too as a lot of my friends ask how I grow what I do (freely I’ve received so I freely share the info!!!). I bought many seeds because you guys did a special video on that variety (orangelo watermelon for example). Keep it up! You’re doing a fab job!
😎Komatsuna - an Asian green 😊Carrots - Oxheart - strong roots go deep ☺Bunching onions 😃Calendula flowers - pest repelling qualities, medicinal, and has edible flowers 😄Kohlrabi 😍Cabbage from starts - mulch them and keep watered 😊Beets - harvest after a frost 😄Broccoli - plant transplants, taste does improve after a light frost 😃Parsley - cool weather plants rareseeds.com
These videos are so great, I hope you continue doing them for years so when you upload I know what to do. I can do perennials but annuals take more knowledge and experience. i'm just learning on my own over the internet.
Kalibos cabbage is beautiful! Between the deer, rabbits and squirrels, I don't see myself being successful until I find a way to keep them away, but your videos make me wish I could grow whatever I like.
Shannie, i am si grateful to you and Baker Creek, my all time favorite seed source! I purchased a lot of seeds this spring hoping to plant a large garden but constrain our house and deer pressure delayed my planting. I am so encouraged by your July snd August planting tops that I am going to go for it and try to plant some late season crops. Looking forward to Calendula, brassicas, carrots beets and parsley this fall. Hoping you will have more videos throughout the year. I had mixed success this year with my starts. Some are doing great while others totally died, so I would like information about how to tell when is the best tone to set them out. We did have a heat wave in our area but seedlings planted a few feet apart had very different results. There are a lot of videos on you tube but I trust you more than some I have seen from random sources. Thanks again!
Would love to see more videos like this about fall planting, maybe including the more northern zones. Hard to subtract time when it's already August, at least until someone perfects that time machine. ;)
It's difficult to plan for fall plantings in Wisconsin. Our weather is so wild anymore. We can have all fours seasons in one week in the spring and fall. Or, we can freeze really early and that's that.
Good They put your name up Shannie so you can get credit for your fine work! That's a beautiful bouquet of flowers and I like the stripped overalls. They are something different! Lighting is slippin" they need to show your beautiful highlights! This is coming thru VERY dark lighting panel! I LOVE THE ENERGY and STRONG VOICE!!! You've stated your audience✔️ You've given us some goals✔️ Good Rareseeds listed the plants like John Lord does✔️ Lighting got A LOT better at 1:35. Great you swayed your body to distinguish "the heat of the summer" and the "cool of the fall"! We can visualize this! At 2:32 they should've given you some Maui Jim polarized sunglasses:-) Great you kept the carrot situation simple✔️I'm growing (8) different round carrots. I LOVE the gift of carrots bc they don't require a trellis. They can sit in the ground forever. I can feed the tops to my Rex rabbits. I eat the tops occasionally so that I can learn to distinguish between them. I don't like to think of my onions as having a "pungent" flavor. I like to think of them as "Vidalia sweet":-) I love the "take charge personality":-) "Find yourself a 'lil shady pc of the garden..." I love Calendula too. I like the Flashback and I didn't think I'd like that over Alpha. I like how they drop their seeds and sprout the following year. They are a Great Investment for us poor folk. Oh! Now I'm in the polytunnel at 5:45! This is a place where you ONLY take your MOST TRUSTED AND MOST VALUED! I get to "see your inner workings". "The Swiss Plot" TH-camr prepared a tasty looking Kohlrabi dish. "Buttery" nice wording! The slugs will eat A LOT of those direct seeded brassicas. I transplanted your Long Island Improved Brussels and they are doing marvelously. I am trialing at least (6) different Brussels and so far Long Island Improved is winning! I take a chance on transplanting when I have True Leaves BUT i put cardboard a wrapping of cardboard inside the hole bc I plant them w/ my long handled Sneeboer bulb planter so I don't have to do a lot of bending. I am using an Ocean Spray bottle w/ a small hole i drilled in it for a slow drip. That purple cabbage is pretty. I am trialing Mammoth dill against Bouquet. So far Mammoth is winning but it could be my Bouquet seeds are older. I am certainly not comparing apples to apples. This was another excellent presentation! Thank You:-)
Should I water? This video wasn't very clear on that point... ;) By the way, I am in love with my King Tut Purple peas! Grew great large shelling peas. I am hoping we have enough good weather for my Winged Beans to set! Fingers crossed. Thank you for the great seeds, and all the free gift seeds which came with! The Chocolate Peppers had a 100% germination rate, simply amazing.
Just germinate your carrot seeds in a paper towel in a baggie. About six days for the varieties I’ve tried - Danvers and shin kudoba or something like that. Takes a few extra days if you don’t pour simmering water over them first. Paper towel should just be moist. Spread them out so the roots don’t tangle if they get leggy. Best to check them everyday and sow them all when a quarter or half are sprouting. Sow as usual, with no regard for the root. It still take about theee days for them to pop up. I like to use shade cloth or a board for this period unless it’s mild weather.
You can’t break the root, of course, but orientation doesn’t matter. I use tweezers with a pointy tip to pick them up. Since they have sprouted they are delicate and must be covered quickly. Definitely have the soil damp before any sowing (but that goes for any seed).
@@RareSeedsBC Oh yay! I have some of those seeds from a couple years ago, haven't grown it yet. I will this year. Super excited. Thanks for the quick answer 🤗
I love Baker Creek and get so excited watching these videos and learning what I can still plant. So I make a list and go to the website to order and sadly, everything you list for July or August is out of stock! :( What a let down.
Thank you, very helpful. One question though - you said you're in zone 6, but I believe I saw a banana plant growing behind you in the opening scenes. Wouldn't they die in a zone 6 winter?
Live in Belton Missouri going to have to take a road trip to come check Baker Creek out just love their seeds outstanding quality thank you want to be Master Gardener Russ c
Aid your carrots' ability to germinate at any time of year by covering the sown soil with a single layer of damp burlap. It will allow light & water in and prevent the soil from drying out or the early roots from being disturbed when watering. Check every few days & lift the burlap when your seedlings are a centimeter high. Enjoy!
How do you avoid cabbage moths on cabbage and broccoli? I tried growing both this spring and the cabbage moths laid eggs and the caterpillars stripped the plants. Do you need to keep these entirely covered throughout the growing season? That's the only way they seem to grow well here. All the netting and materials to cover make them too expensive. What do you recommend to have a successful crop?
Am I understanding this right... you start your Kohlrabi, Cabbage & broccoli seeds indoors in August then transplant when big enough? Everything else is direct sow outdoors? And BTW...Love these monthly videos...very very helpful!!
Yep although in CA zone 9b I have some microclimates in my yard where brassicas like Broccoli Raab, Pak Choy, Mustard etc are popping from the ground even with no mulch, I just water them once a day. It might be worth it to toss a few in the ground and have some started indoors as backup just to see which does better
Awesome video with great planting ideas! I live in zone 9 (Southeast Louisiana) and would love to plant broccoli. It doesn't usually get cooler here till around mid November. Would you suggest me wait till September time frame to try and plant?
I suggest you don't wait, use the tips in the video to beat the heat for a month. And/or experiment with staggered plantings and see what does best. CA zone 9b here.
Komatsuna, tat soi and bok choy are same family, plant at same time? Moth worms get my spring planting if the heat doesn't take it first (zone 8a). Trying for fall again, with fine netting. Have some napa cabbage hanging on/heading, but many holes in outer leaves - so hate to use pesticides/sprays, even organic ones/neem, on greens.
Not sure about Komatsura, but the others should work in containers, even carrots as long as your container is deep enough for them or you are growing a short variety.
We have a couple of videos on Garlic and Turmeric as well. Garlic: th-cam.com/video/FMbwQ_ENyDU/w-d-xo.html Turmeric: th-cam.com/video/oGxJrr-GtwQ/w-d-xo.html
You can get woodchips from contacting your local arborists or through the service chipdrop: getchipdrop.com/ Chips are better bigger plants, for direct sown or smaller plants I like to use dried leaves which are gentler on seedlings.
Thank you once again for the good tips. We have a few of those crops going from spring palnting. Just one week of warmer weather caused our broccoli raab and a couple of Swiss card to bolt. Our broccoli head was smaller then a tennis ball but we harvesteded it becuse it was starting to open up. Our weather went back to being cool and now we have lovely broccoli side shoots appearing. We eat mostly cool season crops so its not all bad we live in the North with a short season and can't seem to grow pumpkins, cucumbers, squash, tomatoes, and peppers. On another note: Frugle Food storage tips video would be like gold. We have yet to put in food storage like a root cellar and a cool dark dry pantry area. Im sorting out what we can and can't grow here on our new property and how to store it all. So theses first 2 growing seasons have been trial and error. A little of this and that, like half a bed of potatoes, the other half beets, vates collards, swiss chard, leeks, a few onions for pest control and half a bed of carrots with the other half being red and yellow storage onions. Some of the cool season crops planted early in our high tunnels were moved outdoors and then they bolted. The Swiss cahrd in the raised bed with A- fram style cold frames are not bolting yet the micro climate is way different. It's all just a fun experimental experience so far. We are in scary times tho and we do need to learn frugal, on a dime ways to store our food crops, off grid.
You should do a monthly subscription box of like 5-6 seed packs you can grow the following month.
Love your channel!💛
We'll pass along the suggestion. Thanks so much!
Genius!
Totally agree I’d totally buy it
Yes! I would sign up. Kinda like plow box
would love too see these kinds of videos on a monthly basis🙌

Or presprout them in a baggie, that is the best way. Works for parsnips too.
I have been peeling and grating beets to sprinkle on salads. My new fav.
Wow I never peel beets. Just scrape off the rough part on the shoulders and cook the whole thing.
Thanks for helping this rookie gardener
Parsley is also a favorite food of the Swallowtail butterfly so be sure to plant extra for them! ❤️
Thank you. I just got even happier. I got a beautiful calendula seed variety. It's an amber color one. Yeah. I am going to start those tomorrow.
Calendula repelling pests is probably the reason cabbage moths haven't bothered a kale plant which is surrounded by Calendula, Basil, Chives, Thyme, Sage. Combined must be enough to camouflage/ disguise scent of the kale plant.

I love your monthly seeds and planting tips!
Totally loving these videos. Thank you so much!
Your suggestions are so encouraging, and really help me to stay motivated to get in a Fall garden. :)
Thank u for sharing your knowledge! I just got carrot seeds, I will plant them in a box, and make sure to place the box in a shaded/lighted area!
These videos are so great, I hope you continue doing them for years so when you upload I know what to do. I can do perennials but annuals take more knowledge and experience. i'm just learning on my own over the internet.
I planted 4 types carrots on July 30, from Baker Creek, with a plastic tote cover over them. Kept moist and they all germinated in 3 & 4 days!!!
Nice! I've had Broccoli Raab Rapini seeds from Baker Creek pop in ONE day! Definitely top tier germination rates from all their stuff :)
Kalibos cabbage is beautiful! Between the deer, rabbits and squirrels, I don't see myself being successful until I find a way to keep them away, but your videos make me wish I could grow whatever I like.
Red Dragon Chinese Cabbage is also very beautiful.

What an excellent video --- practical and intelligent tips. Love it.
I would really appreciate a follow up video on proper fertilizing each of the vegetables you recommend throughout it season of growth.
generally we fertilize with fish emulsion, but we will pass the request on!
Thanks for the video, I am in Zone 9a, now I will know what to think about in a month from now 😀
Excellent video. So clear and informative. Thanks. I certainly got a lot out of this.
I love these videos!!! Can't get enough! ❤️❤️❤️
Super helpful. I'm loving these suggestions. I'm encouraged to try some new things. Thank you!
I wish you would sell this as an August package...or fall planting like you last video.
We'll pass along the suggestion. Thanks so much, and glad you are enjoying the videos!
No-till gardens grow great carrots. No need to "loosen" the ground. Just cover with compost/mulch and plant.
Really enjoy these videos. Thanks and God bless!
Your so stinking cute😁 I really look forward to these videos my entire garden is from Baker seeds love em Thank you for all the information!!
I would also like to see these videos more often
Lots of great information for a rookie like me! Thanks!
Would love to see more videos like this about fall planting, maybe including the more northern zones. Hard to subtract time when it's already August, at least until someone perfects that time machine. ;)
Thank you so much for sharing
My husband hates cabbage but he'll eat stir fried strips of kohlrabi with other veggies. Kohlrabi is very yummy.
Thanks, Shannie!
Another great fall harvest video.......thank you!!
thanks guys your videos are so brilliant so practical and just amazing. Thanks
It's difficult to plan for fall plantings in Wisconsin. Our weather is so wild anymore. We can have all fours seasons in one week in the spring and fall. Or, we can freeze really early and that's that.
Love this video! could you give me more suggestions on flower seeds to plant for August.
Keep on with summer flowers like zinnias, cosmos and sunflowers.
@@nathanho233 Also you can grow vine flowers or plants up your sunflowers, such as Morning Glory 🌻 🌺
Baker Creek seed packets are lusciously beautiful in design. While I don't like the glossy paper so much, the beauty outweighs the glossy paper issue.
You are beautiful and amazing Shannie ! You always do great vids ! Ty4Sharing

take the soft egg cartons, put them over your newly planted moist carrot seeds
What is the vine growing right behind Shannie at the very beginning? It's gorgeous!
Red Malabar Spinach!
@@RareSeedsBC Oh yay! I have some of those seeds from a couple years ago, haven't grown it yet. I will this year. Super excited. Thanks for the quick answer 🤗
I live in Ohio, I’m in a zone 6 but I wish I was in a zone like California, or someplace I can grow year round lol
I need a greenhouse! 🌱💚
Cattle panel greenhouse is super easy, cheap & durable, build instructions all over YT, highly recommend :)

Thank you 🙂
Thank you for making these videos.
Fun fact: Kohlrabi is the same species as cabbage, collards, Brussels sprouts, broccoli, kale, savoy and gai lan: Brassica oleracea.
Best plants to grow in Florida. I'm from the Midwest and it's difficult to grow anything in the heat.
we do have a list! please send us a message on one of our social media pages or via email at seeds@rareseeds.com
Love your ideas
Thank you so much!!!!
Are there herbs and flowers that can be planted by seed this time of year? (particularly perennials)
If your winters are mild enough, or if you container plant, lavender, sage, rosemary and chives are all great perennial options
I love Baker Creek and get so excited watching these videos and learning what I can still plant. So I make a list and go to the website to order and sadly, everything you list for July or August is out of stock! :( What a let down.
apologies, we are having trouble keeping up with the volume of orders, but we are restocking daily.
Would you start doing container growing videos too???? Please doooo
I planted two calendula plants and they took over half my garden lol.
Thank you, very helpful. One question though - you said you're in zone 6, but I believe I saw a banana plant growing behind you in the opening scenes. Wouldn't they die in a zone 6 winter?
You should check out other TH-camrs who visit Baker Creek. Roots and refuge went and did a video walkthrough there and it is very well done.
I’m in zone 6 Ohio we have (hardy) banana trees, you cut them down in fall and mulch good, and they’ll return in spring
Live in Belton Missouri going to have to take a road trip to come check Baker Creek out just love their seeds outstanding quality thank you want to be Master Gardener Russ c

Bt, is an organic pesticide that works well for cabbage moths!

Yep. Those all have roughly the same dates to maturity, so that should work just fine!
Depends on where you live!!!!!!!🥶
Thank you! I am limited to container gardening, would any of these do well in pots?
Not sure about Komatsura, but the others should work in containers, even carrots as long as your container is deep enough for them or you are growing a short variety.
Looking at your outside raised beds. What are they made of?
Great video!
If you think you can’t eat beets you should try Chiogga or Golden beets.
GREAT INFO - THANKS
i am new to growing... what about gingers and garlic.
We have a couple of videos on Garlic and Turmeric as well. Garlic: th-cam.com/video/FMbwQ_ENyDU/w-d-xo.html Turmeric: th-cam.com/video/oGxJrr-GtwQ/w-d-xo.html
I'm over in St. Louis. Any tips for timing and techniques for a fall crop of snow peas?
I really want to buy purple broccoli seeds
I have had good success with planting out endive and radicchio seedlings in Aug. Komatsuna for me was a snail and slug magnet. No thank you.
Should we start these indoors in July to plant outdoors in August? Or seed indoors in August?
Either way is an option, either direct seeding, or transplanting in August!
I never have any luck growing bunching onions should they be in shade
They can take quite a bit of sun. We recommend 6-12 hours per day.
Do you have a video on how to do a wire trellis on wooden posts like the one at the end of the video?
We don't, but thank you for the suggestion!
Please Answer! Nasturtiums! South west Georgia? Can I plant? Thank you so much in advance
Zone 8b
What do you suggest as the best mulch
i would say woodchips! :)
You can get woodchips from contacting your local arborists or through the service chipdrop: getchipdrop.com/
Chips are better bigger plants, for direct sown or smaller plants I like to use dried leaves which are gentler on seedlings.
Is the music bob Bennett??

We do not, however we do offer free seeds to any non profit organizations such as community gardens and school gardens!
