James. you are definitely my hero and my guru! About a year ago I decided to see if I would like retirement, and started growing my garden. It has been a year of experimentation and wonder! I learned so much from you, and yes- decided to retire and garden full time! It just gets better the more I learn, and I am trying more exotic varieties, and learning new techniques. My freezers are full, I have the canning jars lined up, and the flood of food keeps pouring in! THANK YOU!
I love the way you word things and give inspiration to look toward the future. I'm in Southern NH and I did a big makeover to my garden this year and invested in raised beds packed them full of plants. We got so much rain in the spring everything is so behind schedule or diseased. Starting fresh with a look towards fall veggies has me excited. I started all my brassicas about two weeks ago and they already need to be potted up. I plan to plant them out in early September.
I'm in central Alabama, zone 7B. I have seedling growing for Late Nagasaki Cabbage, Cantaloupe, Crookneck Squash, and Zucchini. I have seeds for more zucchini, Hilton Cabbage, and Chicago Pickling cucumbers that I am waiting to sprout. My pole beans, New Zealand Spinach, Black Cherry, Sun Gold, and Sunrise Bumble Bee Tomatoes are producing fruit. My pole beans, peppers, and New Zealand Spinach are all producing well, but the peppers in my GreenStalk Tower are out producing the peppers in my raised bed. The soil temperature here is too high for Danvers to spout, so I have to wait for rain, or cooler weather to resow them. In a couple weeks, I will be sowing seeds for Komatsuna, shelling peas, Pak Choi, Golden Detroit Beets, and kohlrabi. In September, I will sow lettuce seeds, and winter tomatoes for my greenhouse.
@@LittlePieceOfHeaven.65 I was growing Park's Whopper, Debut Hybrid, and Tiny Tim. They were doing really well until they weren't. I was using supplimental heat during nights when the temperature fell below freezing. The heater turned off during the night, and it got cold enough inside to kill every plant inside it. Without a reliable means of heating the greenhouse, I opted to remove it from my garden.
@@LittlePieceOfHeaven.65 No, it was a complete loss. Come January, I did seed starts for Dad's Sunset, Thornburn's Terra-Cotta, Clasic Beefsteak, Ace-55, and Grand Marshall. I have more tomatoes than I know what to do with. The Grand Marshall and Thornburn's Terra-Cotta were my best producers.
Great timing & reminder for prepping the Fall Garden. Many new gardeners don't know that planting seeds & starts are a year round endeavor, not just in the Spring/Early Summer. Glad you covered the important info on the seed packets to help individuals make wise decisions and not just purchase the seeds based on the pretty picture or 'hey, I like blah, blah, blah let's plant some of them".
James, do you have any people stealing your produce? Your neighbors are probably so envious of all the abundance! Your garden has truly become a food forest! I wish you would extend your business to a seedling selling company. As a fellow Jerseyan, I would love to buy some seedlings from you one day.
Same. My old girl doesn’t make it outdoors until after 7pm. She snoozes through most of the heat and is then a night-owl. But the heat just knocks ‘em out.
Im in Michigan and have followed your food forest for awhile now. What you do is fantastic! Thank you for inspiring and encouraging us fellow gardeners, I've learned so much from you! And Tuck is of course a star as well as the guardian! Hugs from the middle of the Mitten!
I was writing down everything you were telling us to plant and I just realized I could save the video and just keep rewinding it❤💯😉tell tuck I said ruff ruff and hi😅 my poocharelli stays inside because he has problems in the heat,love from our family to yours 😃💪
I'm in Tulsa, and my spring peas were burned up by the middle of June. I'm going to give them another go towards the end of August, and zucchini and broccoli, too. I lost my oldest son last summer, and my job and my garden have saved my life and my sanity. Love your passion and videos, thanks so much for all you do!
Hello Tulsa Okie 👋 I live in N Oklahoma City. So hello Okie Neighbor...Dontcha just love his enthusiasm? 😊 I'm learning. I'm doing flower bed vegetables along with my flowers and container gardening...Not getting much of my squash. Well I got a few squash but they are dying off. I'm working on that reason. Just curious as to what your gonna plant now it's Almost August first?
One last thing I would like to say. Even in high 90's-100 degree heat and humidity that makes it feel like 190, my Zinnia's continue to just flower like there is no tomorrow. If anybody is curious, specific variety is Benary's Giant. They stand about 5 feet tall, have GINORMOUS thick blossoms and, something I rarely EVER see with Zinnia's, they had little to no leaf spot disease until recently, but it's still only at the bottom. I am amazed and Impressed, and I always have beautiful flowers for my table and even more in my yard for the pollinators.
I tried growing napa cabbage this spring and it bolted immediately. I’m going to try growing it again in late August. Plus I’m going to grow spinach, beets, and maybe some more turnips.
Came here for the happiness and left with a little enthusiasm, inspiration and knowledge. I've been digging up potatoes today looking forward to planting something in its place for another bountiful harvest. Will amend it with compost although it's full of worm castings perhaps due to weeks of rain, perhaps due to the leaves covering the soil, perhaps due to the occasional rotting potatoe from all the rain. I need to dig the bed deeper so it drains better.
This year is my second. James you rock man. This years had more failures than last but loving it. The main characters of season 2 have been the hummingbirds on my scarlet runners, and baby bunns the destroyer lol. He's a jerk but pretty cute, and leaves my pots alone.
Half way through watching this I ran out to my garden tilled up a spot and sowed some carrots and radish. You better be right or I'll be pissed Jimmy 😊 great content from joisey
I really enjoy your videos! Very educational! And now I know why my carrots I planted 2 weeks ago didn't germinate...I planted too deep and there was intense heat...while I was away on vacation.😏 I'm going to try again after watching your video. I like how you also showed the square foot with the string to make it clear how many seeds to plant. Thanks for the great videos!
Thank you great vid, I have gotten all my supplies to built the bed cover for my 8 above ground beds that you showed how to build, will be putting them together Labor Day weekend 😁 thanks for all you show us , so much appreciated
I love your enthusiasm! I’m working to grow as much food for my family as possible to help reduce our grocery bill, but my family is not very supportive. I have a lot on my plate (no pun intended) and we are more than 1/2 way thru the growing season! Ive turned into a midnight Gardner! My neighbors must think we’re like that family from The Burbs! 😆 But I can’t give up! I must keep going. Even if they don’t help. Your enthusiasm has inspired me to not feel so discouraged. Thank you so much!
It is too dang hot! I'm in GA zone 7 I can plant everything you said in Sept My last frost is Nov 3. Thanks for the recommendations on how to get the plants started. I have started some in my basement with grow lights, they can't make it outside, we've been in the 90s with no rain. My corn, tomatoes and beans are finished mainly because of the heat. Okra, flowers and herbs are doing good. I'm going to dig the ground where everything is done and put down some leaf compost and let it sit for a month. I do love my fresh carrots, I recently pulled the last of the spring ones. God Bless you and Tuck!
I'm in Cobb County. Just put in some dill and broccoli seeds and hope they'll be ok. I got started late, so my cukes are just now producing and still looking good. I did get shade cloth this season and it's been helping over my many green tomatoes I think on the 95 degree days. Today was strangely only about 87!!! :)
I luckily was still harvesting stuff all the way into January last year. Down here in Texas. We barely had a frost here last year. And I can count how many days it dipped below freezing on one hand. This year, some of my stuff have gone dormant until temps cool off.
Great info. We had a lot of rain so I didnt get 1/2 my seeds in before it got really hot. A lot of things bolted so I may try again in August. Nice to have a list of what will grow in summer.
James. Excellent advice. I have been gardening since I could first walk. I pick up little tidbits everytime I watch your video. Keep up the great content.
Yeah, no matter how much I’ve tried, I get too many in one space. And when I thin them is when the pests descend, due to the smell. Maybe will have to try the pelleted seeds.
Just found your channel awesome job you explain everything so it’s easy to understand and I appreciate that I gave you a thumbs up and subscribed and I will be sharing and I am a Yorkie guy too I have two and would do anything for my little friends thanks again man I am glad I found you 👍🙏❤️
we are in the same zone 5,6 so it makes it easy to grow the same stuff, my tomatoes have done so well this year last year was pretty bad but with your help I was able to remedy this :)
Love ur enthusiasm and energy gives me hope that once i am burned out i can keep going. Its been a great year in jersey and i now need to keep pushing! Thx for the push
James, I grow mostly in a greenhouse, in zone 3 and have found that the greenhouse schedule is pretty close to yours with no greenhouse. (Outdoors my first frost is Sept. 1). Very convenient! Thank you for your tips.
I'm from Toms River, just down the Blvd from you, but I live in Portugal now on the Silver Coast & while the literature says we don't technically get frost here, we will often get 2-5 nights of frost in January. I love that I can grow nearly year round here! I just started more beans, peas, leafy greens, celery, amaranth (I don't use it as a grain, I use it like a spinach or dandelion...the Greek way), dill, and a few other things I can't remember right now.
Thanks so much, James & Tuck!!! We have been so inspired by you and we got a bowl full of cherry tomatoes from our garden yesterday, which was very exciting! 🎉🎉🎉🙌🙌🙌
Great video on late summer planting. I am hoping to put in a few more things before the summer is over. Thanks for the ideas. Hey Tuck stay coo!! 💚💚💚💚💚💚
I bought a packet of Scarlet Nantes Heirloom Carrot seeds I'm super excited about. The giant curled mustard seeds I dusted around a couple weeks ago are really coming into their first true leaves. I planted a few more things just to keep the greens ample and going!
Yup, too dang hot! I agree. Here in mid Missouri we are in an extreme drought. Two years of it so far. So, we are too dang hot and too dang dry! But…hope spurs us on. Thanks, James!
Most cruciforms and some legumes can grow even beyond frost. I have had cabbage and broccoli grow over the winter. Also lentils will grow in winter. I also had some watermelons that survived 3 frosts and ended up producing full fruit, despite germinating August 27th. You never know what plants will make it, but many will handle cold weather just fine. Also celery can live in sub-zero temperatures if raised right.
One video that has new gardeners would absolutely love to see and would be so helpful is close-up shots and recordings of you planting different kinds of seeds...... Because we don't always know what a small indentation really means because we are all different LOL. . Plus, because we are new, we really don't have any clue what we're doing half the time and we really just need some straightforward direction. ❤ Thanks for all you do
We live at 3500'. Our first frosts come in early September 🙄😑. Learned about covering with flannel sheets at night. Took my green beans into 2 more weeks of grow time by doing this trick last fall. Hubby had heart surgery this spring (no garden work) so trying my first fall garden this year. Interesting 🙃. Your little dog is adorable. My Border Collie, Patriot, is not allowed in the garden - little bull in a china cabinet scenario. She also raids my strawberry patch 😆. Thanks for all your wonderful shared "fall planting" knowledge. LOVE the board on the carrot patch tip!!! I cover tiny seeds with vermiculite - helps SEE where they are.
I was told carrots were so hard to germinate in late July. I must have done it right cause i got some sprouts. I've never grown them before so we will see how they are once they get a bit bigger.
I love to let bok choi and green onions come up anywhere whenever they want to. BUT I found out that having a lot of brassica seeds sitting out there can inhibit germination of other seeds. I don't know a lot about that, and will listen for info about that if it comes up.
Hearts and a Fan for Tuck! Hey James, I learned that although I have a gardening diary, I have to add some more comments about what worked and didn't work. Would you share yours or an empty schema or template in a future video? I have to share that in my subtropical climate, I grow Perpetual Spinach and I also thought about the French "Roly Poly" carrot as an option for you at this time. Also, like you I have a food forest. Do you find that as your food forest(s) have grown over the years that your microclimate has changed? Stay cool! Cheers!
Great info and im glad you lettuce know what area you you are growing in. but don't do a tease about what plants you can grow in August before you designate your Zone. Still love your Channel!
I love your videos!!! My veggie patch is in long raised garden beds. Do you have any videos on how to build a small food forest if we don't have a beautiful backyard like yours?
It’s been a very hot and dry July here in Summerland BC, Canada. It’s was hard to keep things hydrated but the worst of it was the swarm of grasshoppers that invaded my garden and ate every green leaf in sight. I was determined to have my basil which they seemed to like best. I re planted some and covered them with netting but sadly those darn hoppers ate huge holes in the netting and had a feast ! In all the years of gardening I’ve never seen this before .
Love your garden. My earliest frost date per the Farmer's Almanac is year round. 😂 Different growing issues at 10000' in Colorado. Grateful for raised beds and several layers of hoop houses!
SHARE THIS VIDEO IF YOU ENJOYED IT! 🐕😁❤
Are you saying that I can start carrots in this 100+degree weather??

thank you for the encouragement some of my garden crops didn't make this its wonderful to know I can replant again! - keep you and tuck COOL!

Variety is key. Stay within your time frame. Don't forget some of your winter squash varieties. Keeping space in mind you can always trellis.

Wow! Thanks!! So informative. Best gardening channel. I’m recommending you to everyone I know.
Appreciate the lesson on first frost - I was being way too pessimistic about how much time we had left in the year. 😅
So informative and knowledgeable gardening upload ❤
Get some sowing going! Ha, love it. Thanks for the encouragement James!

My first frost is Dec 16 lol guess I’ll have to come back to this in 2 months
The weather has been so erratic and unpredictable that home gardening is harder to know if another harvest will be possible.

Thanks for all your wonderful shared "fall planting" knowledge. LOVE the board on the carrot patch tip!!! I cover tiny seeds with vermiculite - helps SEE where they are.
James, this was so informative! I am a long time subscriber and you always teach me something new. Love to you and little Tuck, stay cool🥰🥰🥰
Always packing it full of great tips! I'll soak my beet seeds and,also give the carrot board trick a try! Thanks!
I was told carrots were so hard to germinate in late July. I must have done it right cause i got some sprouts. I've never grown them before so we will see how they are once they get a bit bigger.
THank you for sharing your knowledge
That hoop contraption looks cool for your seedlings
I love to let bok choi and green onions come up anywhere whenever they want to. BUT I found out that having a lot of brassica seeds sitting out there can inhibit germination of other seeds. I don't know a lot about that, and will listen for info about that if it comes up.
Thank you James for sharing your wisdom. You have taught me so much. Say hi to Tuck for me. ❤🐕
Try some Kohl Rabi too! Thank you so much!
Bravo maestro! Nice garden👍👍👍👍🫡
Wonderful video🌹🌹🌹🌹
Hearts and a Fan for Tuck! Hey James, I learned that although I have a gardening diary, I have to add some more comments about what worked and didn't work. Would you share yours or an empty schema or template in a future video? I have to share that in my subtropical climate, I grow Perpetual Spinach and I also thought about the French "Roly Poly" carrot as an option for you at this time. Also, like you I have a food forest. Do you find that as your food forest(s) have grown over the years that your microclimate has changed? Stay cool! Cheers!
Great info and im glad you lettuce know what area you you are growing in. but don't do a tease about what plants you can grow in August before you designate your Zone. Still love your Channel!
I love your videos!!!
My veggie patch is in long raised garden beds. Do you have any videos on how to build a small food forest if we don't have a beautiful backyard like yours?
It’s been a very hot and dry July here in Summerland BC, Canada. It’s was hard to keep things hydrated but the worst of it was the swarm of grasshoppers that invaded my garden and ate every green leaf in sight. I was determined to have my basil which they seemed to like best. I re planted some and covered them with netting but sadly those darn hoppers ate huge holes in the netting and had a feast ! In all the years of gardening I’ve never seen this before .
Love your garden. My earliest frost date per the Farmer's Almanac is year round. 😂 Different growing issues at 10000' in Colorado. Grateful for raised beds and several layers of hoop houses!
The Red veined sorrell is a beautiful plant to behold that..
Get the sowing goin ... HELL YEAH
