Last year I planted spinach, beets, Swiss chard, and fennel as part of the fall garden. In zone 5 with a week of -10 degrees in January, all 4 of those plants overwintered and began growing again in the spring. I am always learning in the garden!
Cannabis. Grow cannabis. Everyone will want some in times of crisis.
This was perfect timing. I was just planning out my spinach, kale, and lettuce for my fall balcony garden. Any my red amaranth I planted early in the season is huge!! The leaves are also delicious. As always, thanks to you and your team for helping us!
In Texas I planted lettuce indoors all summer.
I have never planted sorghum so I just ordered seed.
This year I planted horseradish, I love it. My native plums are thriving. I planted redbud seeds yesterday, they make a large bean crop without irrigation. They sprouted from seed in Dallas, so I put out seeds.
I like my okra 2 – 3 inches. Every year here in north Florida, (aka LA) okra, with a little water and compost, it grows and grows.
I planted pinto beans in zone 6 and after only a week or so they're sprouting! My area is experiencing high heat, humidity, and back to back thunderstorms, but the plants seem to be doing alright. I think I'll also plant peas. Seeing the beans do well gives me hope for my gardening journey 🙂
Sweet potatos are amazing if they grow in your region, you can eat the leaves as well plus they store far longer than regular potatos
Invest in a large live trap now! I lost 90% of my early corn crop to raccoons! I have 3 later plantings that are starting to produce now, but that was a third of my expected harvest! Definitely and underlooked prep.
Don't over look dandelions. They are everywhere and very nutritious. Probably growing wild in the front yard😊
I just planted more peas and bush beans about two weeks ago from seeds. I plan to plant carrots, cabbage, lettuce, and spinach in the next couple of days. The heat and thunderstorms that we have had are causing my plants from producing as well as they should.
Thanks Kris!
Zone 10a (FL) should be planting tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, okra, endive, tropical spinach, pineapple, bush and pole beans, cowpeas, squashes, tomatillos, bunching onions, and carrots in August.
Kale chips are a family favorite! 🤩
My wife and I just harvested our second crop of tomatoes and our first crop of peppers, and are awaiting, our first crop of potatoes and carrots. I am also growing from seed, celery, and have at least two good looking celery stalks growing in our greenhouse. It has taken us a few years, yes, to learn how to plant and grow in a greenhouse, but definately worth the time and effort!
Growing in my area is tough. A successful harvest could be the difference of 5 miles because of weather conditions.
What about in the safe ‘we’ll survive’ region? Australia/NZ?
August to October in most places..do not plant now IF you are expecting a harvest this year.
He did not mention that and he is not a gardener. A new gardener trying to help with.poor info.
Years ago my elderly neighbor in Dallas covered his vegetable beds with parking covers. They got early and late sun. Hail protection. He had a phenomenal garden and shaded him, too.
Wow, we learned a bunch from this video, Chris. Thank you so much and God Bless
Well said and well-done Chris. Perfect timing too, just getting ready to plant some pole beans, beets and parsnips.
I LOVE to garden. It gives me so much peace and it is such a great way to try mew foods. Its great to be prepared, but still take JOY in natures bounty and the wonder of miraculous growth of your plants and yourself.
Thanks Chris for bringing the late season plants 🪴 to our attention! I Remember Lettuce & parsley season is on the way! ☮️&🌱
Thank you Kris. I will try to plant around my other garden plants.
If you can make a hoop house, place a compost bin at one end which will generate heat to reduce chances of frost damage. Another option is to use incandescent Christmas lights around the inside of your hoop house for additional warmth when nighttime temperatures drop. Be creative, even used cooking oil lanterns can be used (with caution) for additional warmth. I’ve also thought about heating rocks or bricks for a few hours of heat (I haven’t tried this yet). Good luck and happy gardening!
Another excellent video. Thanks!!
I live in an apartment so this is not applicable to me but thank you for this anyway. When anyone prepares, it helps all of us by leaving fewer needing government help in the event of a crisis. I appreciate all you do.
Now is also the time to get a few seeds for next year’s garden.
Grow what you like to eat
I built my greenhouse and started planting for fall,
Great video Kris. Thanks for bringing us around, helping us focus on things we can’t control instead of things we cannot control. Sometimes it’s hard to know the difference.
Actually okra grows quite well in poorer soils. We fertilize once when planting and then when it's a few inches tall. The key is regular water and trimming the branch under off that you pick the okra from. Pick regularly as it encourages more okra.
This is a great idea, I might need to take some vacation days off!
Do you ever plant chia? Also plant garlic in fall for spring harvest. What about ginger or turmeric?
Good list. Do note that several of the crops you recommended are high in oxalates. Anyone at risk for kidney stones should limit spinach, amaranth, sorghum, and beets (including their greens). Lacinto kale is the variety lowest in ox. I'd add chives for flavoring and they are perennial.
Giveaway!
Thank you for this Kris. I'm growing in my apartment and now looking forward to trying some of these vegetables, some I have never heard of!
thanks for the video on planting in august. great
I'd add Bok Choy and Broccoli to this list.
what a great video, had some really good options given
Love parsnips boiled then with butter and honey
Love pickled okra ❤
Thanks for posting PRACTICAL information!!🙌👏🏻
Insects are decimating my amaranth 🤬 If I want to eat it how can I spray for insects????😫
I might have to turn to cannibalism
We've had to keep our goats in the garden area until we get the livestock enclosure built. It's amidst done!! Within the next couple weeks, I want the goats out of the garden and to be able to start getting it cleaned up and ready to use again.
