Hi Kevin and Jacques! Just so that Jacques is aware, his biggest fan in the whole world is my 4 year old daughter who calls him “Jacques-y” and whenever I watch any video with Jacques, she recognizes his voice from across the room and comes running to watch with me. She’s an avid gardener and has her own raised bed, full of out-of-season sunflower, 5 cosmos, 2 “yummy-kale” and a potato she planted 2 months too late. I credit Jacques for her interest in gardening 😂 thanks for the new video, guys!

In the spirit of supporting my favorite garden bros, I bought a mixed pack of Botanical Interests sunflowers and planted them at the base of a hugelkultur bed. They got hit with a late frost, which slowed them down, but they bounced back and are coming on strong. Can't wait to see them bloom! I've also got some good cilantro going from you guys that is hopefully destined for the freeze dryer. But, MORE IMPORTANTLY, now is the time to be planting a winter garden in any kind of temperate climate! Cabbage, leeks, parsnips, turnips, rutabegas, carrots, and so on. NOW is the time to be thinking about the veggies you want to be eating in the winter months....if your climate allows.

So true about planning for winter garden now. I’m always late because who can think to start cool season plants when it’s 100+ degrees everyday? But it’s time to get seeds planted to have transplants ready for zone 8b.

Almost all of these are plants I started last week or will sow this week. I got a late start to my actual garden, but since I mostly grow nightshades (tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, tomatillos) I have lots of seedlings to transplant as well. :) I already planted sunflowers once though, and the seedlings were eaten by pests. So I’ll need to find away to protect them better. Last year some of my tomatoes and peppers were struggling, so I put bush bean seeds next to them in mid July and they took off! And I even got a bean crop too.
