How to PERFECTLY Time Your Fall Garden Planting
Рет қаралды 112,994
Күн бұрынSummer may be winding down, but your garden is NOT done for. Fall gardening is one of my favorite times of year. I love the fall vegetables, and choosing what to plant for fall is an inherently satisfying experience for me.
But...knowing when to plant a fall garden can prove challenging because of the looming frost date. In this video, I will walk you through a formula I use to perfectly calculate my planting so I get everything out of the ground before winter arrives.

This is exactly what I needed. I'm more of a care-free gardener, but since i have limited space I may need to get a little more strategic. My summer crops are just okay largely because I didn't have enough materials to make a large enough growing bed. Not that the COVID-19 hoarding has lessened, I'll probably expand the plot to include autumn veggies. Thanks again for a great lesson!

It's that time of year again. Been listening to your podcast, and found this video while searching for something to watch/listen to while I was starting my seeds. I'm with all the others who asked you in the past: will you share your spreadsheet, even if it's not "cleaned up?" I'm particularly interested in the plants/square footage numbers. As a brand new gardener, I have no idea how much space things take up, how productive each plant will be, etc. I'm having a hard te figuring on how many of each thing to grow. Keep up the great work!

I'm not sure if I can do fall planting. I have carrot and radish seeds. It gets way to hot during summer to try and grow them. But, it has only recently within the last couple of days started cooling down enough. I am growing in fabric pots; so, am not sure how protective they would be from frost. This is my first year for growing any kind of veggies since my hospitalization ended on March 1. I am happy with getting so many cucumbers and tomatoes from just a few plants. I've checked different sources online and it seems that the first frost for my area can be anytime from the end of September through sometime in October. I remember one year that it snowed on Halloween. Maybe I should wait until spring to do my radishes and carrots. What do you think?
