Kevin. I like suggestions on month by month videos. I had a book like that once but it went through a house fire and I don't remember the name of it and they stopped making it. The man died years ago who wrote it so my only hope is Amazon but I can't remember the name of the man who wrote it. He did a victory garden and a flower garden book. I loved his personal touch to it as well as if he was speaking right to me. Can you help me?
Had one years ago that had "52 weeks" in the title. I think it was written by a Los Angeles Times gardening writer.
They, thanks for the kind words. I don't remember the name of the book, but I am planning on doing more "What to Plant in [Month] or [Season]" videos!
Sharon Walia i think I know who your talking about I'm trying to share it.
Sharon Walia is the author Mel Bartholomew? He does a lot of books on square foot gardens. Hope this helps.
Maybe you are thinking of "Week-by-Week Vegetable Gardeners Handbook" Mine is almost worn out!
Excellent video. I am in zone 3b. My father, before his death, had a 50x75 foot garden every year for 30 years & was in the soil as soon as it was workable in the spring. He always grew the cool weather crops that could handle a light frost, which included cabbage, cauliflower, peas & spinach. This would be applicable for late summer & early fall as well. Brussel sprouts are another great fall crop. As mid April into May set in, he started on early potatoes such as Norkotas..
A 50x75' plot is incredible! Thanks for sharing that planting schedule
You're Very Welcome. My father's garden was huge, but what they didn't use up, I always got. Like frozen asparagus. YUM!!
Very timely video, thanks for this. Timely videos are the most valuable to new gardeners like me, because I don't know enough about certain things to effectively plan ahead too far in the future.
Thank you so much Pete - I'm going to be making videos for every month starting with September. Thanks for watching!
Great video thank you for info I just moved from 3a zone to a 8 and I can't believe what they are still growing her this time of year I just replanted some tomatoes and peppers for late harvest plus some more garlic and onion, have to go back to my zone 3a and harvest everything and put it to bed lol
You're welcome! Yeah, welcome to the warmer zones my friend :)
We are loving our fall garden and make videos about our journey! It sure has been fun growing some of our own food!
Love it!
Thanks! I’ll plant pumpkins today. I’d love more videos on zone 8b Austin Texas!
Thanks. Please keep doing more of these videos.
You have a new subscriber! I’ve been watching your videos for quite some time now and even learning from you. Now I’m watching this video and realized that I didn’t subscribe, so now I’m subscribed. I must say that you’ve uploaded some real nice and educational videos, thank you for teaching me how to garden! 👍👌
Means a lot, thank you!
You’re welcome! Keep those videos coming! Good job by the way!
I loved this video! I really hope you do more like this video! I suggest doing more commonly grown foods and also 3-5 in each zone! Other than that! This is really fantastic! If you don't make a habit of making this type of videos, then I think I may have figured out what type of videos to make because I don't have a channel yet! I can't believe how much I loved this! I also love your microgreen videos!
Yeah, this video blew up unexpectedly - I'll be doing more crops per zone and outlining when you must plant to have good harvests as well. Thank you for the suggestions - I WILL be adding them to future videos!
Great educational video Thanks!
You're welcome!
When gardeners speak of "no debris in the soil," would it be best to use a screen to make sure the soil is fine, or do you/they mean just rocks and any bigger wood chips? Our beds are brand new and the soil/ compost does have some tiny wood chips mixed in it.
I live in zone 8 and just love squash!! I am growing 6 kinds f heirloom tomato plants.
I always get powdery mildew in Zone 10 with squash!
Epic Gardening I live up in Northern Washington. I am a big fan of Gardener's Supply, they gave really cool equipment to grow squash up off the ground. Love their website too, they mail me a catalog to shop in too!
This is awesome! Great information! I didn't see another video for other months in your play list, hope you do another one of these for other months 😊
I'll be doing more and making them better! Any suggestions on how to improve for future months?
Epic Gardening Epic Gardening no suggestions really, you did amazing, I truly loved it, because it will help new gardeners, and not only in one zone, but in many. Wait maybe a small suggestion, encouraging gardeners to try and experiment with planting, since not everything is set in stone, and it is ok to fail, because it gives you experience and knowledge. Thank you so much for your time, and I will definitely be watching your videos. Hope you have a great day 😊
Great suggestion! I also want to add more suggestions per zone as well :)
Little Bean's Garden a
This video is great. I am in zone 7b. For me garlic was an epic FAIL. LOL. Thanks!!!
You have to plant garlic in Autumn in your zone, it also depends on the bulbs that you planted ,am saving some of my bigger bulbs from last harvest to plant again,
Not sure, but Amazon has a book by James Underwood Crockett called "Crockett's Victory Garden" which is dated 1977. Also Bob Thompson wrote a book called "The New Victory Garden" (there was a PBS TV show by the same name but not sure if it's the same guy". Either of those might be the one that you're seeking.
Fantastic recommendation, thank you!
I have had luck with Watermelons in Zone 10. I have harvested in January. Sometimes, when there is a frostless Winter, they winter over.
I'm growing them now myself!
thanks for that great information!
You're welcome!
Zone 10... awesome. It’s not easy to find gardening advice for the warmer regions. I’m in Texas, zone 9b actually, so not really easy to find ideas for winter gardening. Thanks for your encouraging videos.
Totally - I'm in 10b so I feel your pain!
I'm in so 9anime. Dude in zone 10 you should be able to grow the same stuff you grew in the spring and summer through the fall and into the winter, just a day slower growth rate due to the position of the sun and the slightly shorter days. Congrats. You should check out some of the guys that grow in the Vegas area and in the Phoenix area. There in constantly blistering environments and they like to grow a lot of stuff that is native to your zones. Look up Jake mace and look up growing Your Greens
Yeah we can grow stuff year round for the most part . I guess what I’m looking at most is timing. I can get sidetracked and scattered with stuff going on at home, that the little nudge is sooo helpful . Appreciate you 👍.
DK Green I hear you. I'm trying to talk the Family 2 come out and start seeds with me so I don't have to do 150 seed cups on my own for fall and winter plantings. Maybe we should form an accountability group LOL
I live in zone 4 and I have just been infested with a tiny I am going to call it a beetle it is so dark and shiny it looks like an oil slick. It is a voracious eater and seems to prefer my brassicas. Do you have any idea what they are and how to get rid of them?
Mache is pronounce MOSH. Lovely video and I'm glad I found you. Thumbs up and a sub.
Ah foolish me! That's what I get for trying it without looking it up! Thank you for your support, means a lot Aunt Duddie!
:)
I just "happened" upon you and SO glad I did! I truly enjoyed this video and look forward to viewing all of yours in the Very Near Future. I'm in my 9th decade so don't have a lot of time in which to learn and/or RElearn.
Just wondering if you have, or will consider doing, a video on Edible Weeds? I certainly hope so!
Keep up the good work that is SO necessary in this Day And Age!
Blessings
Thank you so much Annie! Congrats on being 90+ and still gardening and using TH-cam, that is HUGE! So honored that you are a watcher of my videos. Best wishes to you :)
As far as edible weeds go...try dandelions or nasturtiums!
Great info. Thanks
Very welcome!
Great information! Thanks for sharing
You're welcome
Thank you!
THANK YOU SO MUCH 😊
You could not be more welcome!
Parisian market and such varieties of carrot grow wide and bulbous, not long, I've successfully done them in a shallow container in my potted balcony veg garden. They come in winter and summer varieties like normal carrots as well. If anyone is miffed about not having deep enough containers for carrots I highly recommend looking for seeds of bulbous cultivars like Parisian Market
Great tips - love growing carrots, but you're right they can be annoying. I'll give the Parisian varieties a try.
Found this lovely!
Thank you!
I want to see what to grow in AZ. What flowers and trees? What are the sweetest fruit from the kinds of oranges and mandarin trees?
I'm in 8b, Aug is too late for Halloween pumpkins. The general rule is to have them planted by the fourth of July.
Your zones are jacked up
How so?
Outstanding info..thank you 😀 👍 👍🏽 👍🏻
You're very welcome!
Iam new at this and I live in South Texas. Iam not sure of the soil I have, or how to prepare it. How can I enrich my soil and how to properly make my soil ph balanced. That would be a fantastic video. I so much appreciate that kevin. Thank you
I'll get on that!
I’m in Phoenix Arizona. We’re still in the triple digits and my “fall” peppers and tomatoes are not doing too well. We’re using a higher PH as with any nightshade. Squash and pumpkins are fine. 3 more weeks for leafy vegetables and greens
Triple!? That's crazy. Yeah, it's basically midsummer for you right now.
Great video but I was disappointed that you only featured one thing to plant per zone.
Thank you! I tried to pick a unique plant per zone that gardeners may not have tried before. For upcoming videos I plan to get way more in depth!
Maybe check the approximate length of time to harvest for other vegetables and back it up from your first frost date?
@@epicgardening ..That would be much appreciated!
I was assuming that as we progressed through the zones, it was a case of “for this zone you can plant All previously mentioned for the other zones, plus this new one” .. was I wrong? 😳
@@MusicCatElliott You can't plant beets in zone 9 yet. They need cool weather.
Nice vid!
Thanks!
Any recommendations for what to plant in the fall to over winter.
Bunching onions are extremely easy as well and grow in zone 10.
I have some in the ground right now!
Great video!
Thank you!
My beets are already planted...I’m zone 5.... i’m going to check if you have another in-depth video
I don't know if we have a zone Since it's hot year round. The winter here is about 70 to 80 degrees which it's perfect for lettuce and peppers, even though I grow all year. Great video. Loved and Subbed.
Where are you at in the world!?
hint: there are several carrot varieties (non-hybrid) that produce shorter, even round, root veggies! Great for those of us who have to use raised beds :-)
So true! Parisian globe!
I'm in Zone 6A. I've heard carrots can be planted late and harvested late. I believe it was suggested you lay mulch over them to "store" them. Are you familiar with this? When do you think the latest planting of carrots would be in this zone?
I've seen people grow carrots into winter with cold frames, so long as they get to a certain size by 1st frost
Remay cover or a plastic grow tunnel will stretch your season. close it before lows hit 40 degrees F, but open before highs are 70
Great info
Thanks!
8a here White Plains Georgia. Thank you for info of course! Poppye loved it!(wait was that his name)
According to Florida University I'm planting beans, peas and squash. Amongst a few others.
Thank you so very much for sharing this really , really helpful information.
You're very welcome!
Thanks for the info. Just a quick question? Why stop in zone 10? What about the poor sweaty souls in 11a and 11b. LOL.
May god have mercy on their souls 😜
Yep. That'd be me. Zone 11.
There way more then that to grow in zone 9 . I have tones of options for most of the year more so in fall and spring
Masha'Allah
Very nice thanks so much
Very welcome!
how about adding the states in every zone you are mentioningi in your video, that will help complete your information. Thanks
Would love it if you’d include all the zones esp. zones 12B
Will do on future ones!
Can i do garlic now in zone 9-I just planted some about 2 weeks ago
Just type the question in a search engine. How helpless are you.
Kevin, do you know the name of the typeface you used in those slides?
My frickin garden bed is packed.
What would you consider Knoxville, Tn. Zone wise?
In zone 3 I put out bok choy just 2 weeks ago and yellow greenbeen In my estimation I will harvest them in 2-weeks.
Keep me posted!
Nice channel! Great vids..Could you do a lemon mint microgreen video?
Oooh, I'll give it a try sometime! Never grown mint from seeds, only cuttings :)
Hi I'm new to your channel, and a relatively inexperienced 5b gardener. Gave a good crop this year, but would love to get a last minute fall garden going. I've never tried to grow beets so forgive these dumb questions. Do you grow them by seed or plant?
Not certain where I'd get the plant at this late date. Probably could find seeds somewhere. Thanks for the video and any help you can give to me.
I grow beets by seeds, though you can speed up the process growing by starts. I would caution against it though, because we're growing beets for their tap root and don't want to disturb that too much once it starts growing!
Really cool info. Where can i get these for all veggies?
Kevin, I noticed this video is dated 2016, this is 2018, are you still making videos? Were the time zones based on USDA or Sunset? I'm thinking USDA. The video was very good. Thank you.
Hey there! Yeah, definitely still making videos. This is based on the USDA hardiness Zone as you mentioned
Sooooo I'm in zone 7A and it's almost 100 degrees till mid September. We can't plant no damn carrots.
Yeah, the weather has changed. I go by The Old Farmers Almanac & it said 10B was good for planting root vegetables (especially carrots) on August 5th & 6th this year. There’s another root vegetable planting date next month. Planting happens just about every two weeks, almost year round, with above ground crops going in on the 24th & 25th next. I spend time at the end of the year getting an early copy of the planting dates for the year to come & then plan a year of planting with the Almanac before the new year starts. It has dates for every zone & tips on the best planting dates for some of the most popular crops. After that it’s up to us consumers to decide on crop rotation, companion planting, & other strategies on our own. The Almanac hasn’t let me down yet.
@@DiscoChixify where would I be able to get this year's Farmers almanac, I can't find one here in florida
@@lukassheridan5271 try a local tractor supply, ace hardware, or any local gardening store like Lowe's, home depot, etc
Hi how are you? I am stressed about my tomato plants died. All leaves fell off.. 8 today..in pots zone 6
Could be lack of water or if they were determint varaties just their natural end.
Already have tomatoes, peppers, regular and lemon cucumbers, sugar snap peas, pumpkin, watermelon, strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, cantaloupe, and several types of mint and other herbs growing in zone 8b but I don't wanna grow squash. If I did it would only be fed to the compost. Also the pumpkin and watermelon are kinda taking over half my backyard, I was unprepared for them to grow this much.
I wish we had plant hardeness zones in Europe. Great Idea.
Isn't it!?
Its only a chart of how cold it might get, how cold in your area? cross reference to u.s. hardiness zones.
You do. Try: www.gardenia.net/guide/european-hardiness-zones
Most of England is zone 8-9, anyway. That's why the zone map is only a meager starting point, as I'm in 8b (Austin, tx), but growing conditions here are widly different than say, London.
Kevin, thanks so much for all your valuable knowledge. I live in south FL zone 10b and am wondering if you could do a video dedicated to starting seeds in trays outdoors/indoors for areas that have no frost or very little risk. Most gardening shows talk of starting seeds based on frost dates but here the real threat is the heat, humidity and summer rains so when should we plant seedlings? Thanks so much.
I also live in South Florida. I’ve been speaking to nurseries and they’ve been telling me plant doesn’t begin until late August/early September so they don’t have any plants yet. I grew my tomato plants this summer so I have not gotten any tomatoes so I’m hoping that planting at the right time will fix this. As for starting the seeds, I’ve always leave them outdoors since I’m moving away from direct sowing since plants like tomatoes benefit from being planted deep.
@@Michael-zn2jc I did the same! I planted some tomatoes just to test early over the summer and they never fruited so obviously too hot out. I since started my seed tray in mid July and so far so good. I'll probably plant first week of Sept and hope for the best.
Tyson Matthews I still can’t decide if I’m going to go to a nursery where they may have tomato plants that are better for this area or should I gather clippings from my current plants and root them.
Irish weather is so unpredictable that I don’t know what to think.
Good video. There's some question about my zone. It's either 3 or 4. I live in Superior Wisconsin right at the tip of Lake Superior where there's a little bit of zone 4 surrounding the Lake. So some say 3 some say 4.
Hard to say, I'd type into the USDA Hardiness app online and then ask a local nursery what your specific microclimate trends towards!
Remember the property you're on will most likely have microclimate pockets. The hardiness number is only a very general starting off point, not canon. Even planting on the north or south side of your house, or against a wall, can influence what can be planted in a season.
Wish someone would do a video on Wat to plant in the UAE...😬
A money tree
Any advice on making soil more acidic? My soil's ph is currently between 1.5 and 2
Garden lime
@@Stormy1984 I just looked it up. Soil Lime will raise pH, not lower it
My apologies I read your comment wrong.
No one ever talks about what can be grown in Zone 12b. I am trying to build a new garden here in Hawaii, but all of my gardening was done years ago on the mainland. I have no clue what varieties will even grow here and what will not.
Pineapple 😁🍍❤👍
peety 63 yeah, but those just get stolen right before harvesting. I hate waiting 2 years to harvest and then have your harvest stolen, lol
I don’t anymore zone videos on the site. I’m zone 7a. Did I just miss it. Will someone send me links please.
I'll be making more on the site and TH-cam soon!
Interesting, but here in zone 9, I don't see the sense in planting tomatoes, zucchini (as some recommend), or any summer crop in August since the ones I planted in spring will just keep on producing. Unless, of course, you didn't get around to it in spring for some reason or the earlier one didn't do well. We have hot summers, and I tend not to do much in the garden besides watering and harvesting, unless I really have to.
Honestly here in Zone 10 it's like a second summer right now, so if you've got transplants you can totally make it work
I thought we didn't plant garlic until November here in zone 10? Still too warm yet... Hmm
I’m in zone 11 and the only thing I can plant now is fire and hurricane seeds :( soon thiugh
Ooh sorry....LOL
That link isn't pulling up anything! The zone link... Thanks for the info @Kev
Fixed! Thanks for the heads up.
no worries... cheers
I'm in zone 9A and I'm still cranking out cherry tomatoes. They keep producing. I have heavy mulch around them, totaling 30 plants in a gigantic bamboo teepee.
Yeah, if you have transplants you can still plant cherries as well!
please do what to grow in zone 11 year round
I'll work zone 11 into my next videos like this!
Epic Gardening thanks
Uriya Simon Mango, coconuts and malbar spinach. Oh and tumeric and lemongrass.
I didn't see the link that you mention to show me what zone I'm in. I am new to the area and my zip code is 75102 Corsicana Texas
Check the video description to see the link!
WHAT ABOUT MUCHROOMS? any easy growers?
great...but i need non gmo seeds...cant find any around my area.
Ben what type of seeds are you searching for - I have a fairly large stock !
www.epicgardening.com/organic-heirloom-seed-companies-usa/
I wish I would have learned which zone with more detail. Not real familiar with the map cause I didn't see the number on the map. Otherwise very helpful
Next videos in this series will definitely include more plants per zone and a new, updated map!
Wait you can grow pumpkins in uk zone 8
Zones are for US only - if you have a climate similar to a USDA Hardiness Zone 8, you should be able to!
I tried growing mache but it was so gross I had to spit it out... :(...
GARLIC who don't love GARLIC!.
Jack Woods Garlic needs to be planted in fall, not summer.
if you're in zone 10a you can plant all those
You're right about that!
What zone is Seattle?
Vipul Mahaju 8a
Nobody ever covers Zone 1. Why are we so uncommon?
👍👍
:)
It is very irritating that in this map, my area is completely oblitetated by the "Key"!!I can't tell what zone I'm in here! Atlantic Canada / northern New England / Maine!
From what I could figure out you'd be in zone 3 through zone 6 ?? !!! Seems like an awful big gap ?
This should help: planthardiness.ars.usda.gov/PHZMWeb/
One type of plant per zone only. Eh.
I agree - this year I'll be releasing a fall gardening video per zone
Well all the plants in the lower zones could potentially work in your zone.
What about zone 13 us Virgin islands
Probably too hot for some fall crops. Grow a mango tree coconut or something lol!
Sorry, that's an extreme zone that I don't have too much experience with! I'd go fruit trees?
So are we talking seeds or small plants??
Thanks for the video and good ideas. I'm eager to start on my Z6 fall garden and have romanesco seeds so those are going in today. Regarding carrots-I've seen folks have great results in 10" pots. I just harvested a pot yesterday. I used a loose potting mix and they were straight and sweet and the pots are mobile as needed. I'll never grow them in the ground. Here's the link to my inspiration: th-cam.com/video/2tFza61oQxY/w-d-xo.html (the great reveal). Now, they're not very long-about 6" but it's a great option for patio/balcony gardening or those like me where my ground space is dedicated.
Zone 10 only garlic?
No, not only...one of the easiest zones to grow in actually. Just a personal recommendation!
i’m in Zone 2A or 2B
Can please do U.K. Please
I will do what I can for the UK Rajdeep!
Epic Gardening thanks to help you we have 4 zones which are different to USA they are 6 ,7,8,9
If I can't sub to Sunset Mag, I'm subbing this. Thanks, off to plant carrots and beets (bit of a gambler heheh)
Thanks so much! Expect more monthly guides :)
Where's my Zone 12 in Hawaii??? 🤔
Thank You. I can't seem to figure out my Zone US Virgin Island. Sub-Tropical Semi Arid. Zip code 00830. Can you help me?
Hard to know, they only do for the 50 states :( Probably 8+
