Hi Friends, I cannot believe it is already June!! June means many things in the garden (like tomatoes coming soon) but it also means that it is time to start thinking about the fall garden- actually, not just thinking about it but seeding for it.
In June, there are many seeds to start for the fall garden, though some are best during the beginning, middle and end of the month- mostly based on where the plant should be going into the warmer weather coming our way. This video covers all of the seeds to start in June to enjoy a wonderful harvest in the autumn months.
There are also a few seeds that we should hold off on planting, like spinach, Asian greens and lettuce, because it will likely be to warm for them (depends on your growing area).
I hope this video is helpful and I would love to hear about what you will be starting for the fall/winter garden. Also, let me know if I missed anything.
Thank you for watching, Happy Gardening!!

Bruh I was tripping out at 3:40 wondering what that creepy laughing sound was in my new apartment that must be haunted... I paused the video to assess my environment, hit play again, and heard you telling your turkeys to calm down lol.

I planted more pole beans last week and they are jumping out of the soil. I am so ready to harvest them and can them this summer.

So happy to finally find a pnw gardening channel!! I grew veggies on the east coast (mid atlantic) for over 20 years. I've been in Western WA for the past 6 years. It's sooo different! I love how peas set fruit all summer here, and no squash vine borer! I usually wait until the solstice to plant my fall/winter garden, but I got my brussel sprouts in earlier this year, so im happy to hear you talk about them. Maybe I'll finally get brussel sprouts!!

The "fall garden crops" whoopsie.... OMG I've been failing at my fall crops for two years, planting in fall, and so frustrated! Now I know why! 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ It feels so common sense now that you point it out and explain it, but i had just always thought "fall crops" meant stuff you grow in the fall, not stuff you plant in summer to eat in the fall. Thank you!!

Thank you and thank you for your kind words. I actually hold Vashon Island close to my heart because I went there 8 summers ago and I was at the little bookshop and they had so many gardening and food preserving books. I purchased so many of them (they were used and for a great price). I still use those books so often and think about my little day trip.

Awesome guide! I was surprised to find a spinach in my raised bed that was looking happy as can be still, despite our 90° weather a couple weeks ago. All the others had bolted right away, but this one just happened to be between my peppers and tomatoes so they got enough shade to stay cool. And my lettuce hasn't gotten bitter yet either! Hopefully we don't have another 115° peak like we did a couple years ago.

so, I failed terribly last year trying to grow potatoes..then I learned they do not like heat. I am keeping some already sprouting purple potatoes in my fridge to hopefully plant at the right time . Since our climate is so screwy, I'd appreciate a video toward the end of the month when you think its time to plant potatoes in zone 8b, Im in Vancouver,WA

Loved the video, very helpful to have so much detail from someone in Zone 8b. Being in western WA area, I’m always worried about the rain hurting my summer crops. Can you make a video or share some content on what crops are rain sensitive and how we can shield the garden if that happens?

Hi Christy. I recently discovered your channel and immediately subscribed. Between your infectious smile, laughter and exuberance and along with your loquacious turkey, I am very much enjoying your videos. I live in Seattle and I’m wondering if you have any suggestions on a gardening book or two that gives advice specifically for growing vegetables year-round in western Washington. I am 78 and I live in a condo. At the back of our condo along the edge of the parking lot, there is a concrete retaining wall that is about 3 feet high with southern exposure. I have a P patch that is 3 feet deep and 40 feet wide. This is the first year that I am experimenting planting a variety of vegetables. It’s to be determined, which work well, and which don’t. Thank you for your excellent videos. Cheers, sincerely. Ray

have you ever tried growing Thai Basil? I gave it a go this year but it looks like a bust.. was just too cold this spring I think.. Our Dairy farm is a bit northeast of you just over the border in Canada pretty much straight north from Darrington Washington.. Zone 8B as well, i thought our 40C summer days it would thrive but spring was unusually cold , our other varieties of Basil are thriving but the Thai is all wilted and dying., we only planted a test patch thankfully. I love the stuff , wish it grew better.

🦃🦃Hi. I just love hearing your turkey's in the background!!! Do you have a video on long day onions? I tried onions last year and they did not get very big. I'm zone 8a PNW. I did plant onion bulbs this year. Do I need to remove the dirt from around the bulb in order to get it to grow bigger? TIA 🙂

@littlerootsranch Жыл бұрын

I believe I have a video on long day onions. Onions are heavy feeds so I plans them where I put chicken coop clean out before. Planting shallow is very important too. If you have a lot of dirt covering them, I would move some away, yes.

questions. Corvallis Oregon. Planting now, what do you think of eggplant, fennel, jicama, lemongrass, or artichoke for fall harvest?

@littlerootsranch 29 күн бұрын

Eggplant would do best as a transplant but you can always try- do an Asian eggplant as opposed to the rounder Italian ones. Fennel and jicama I am less familiar with. Lemon grass would be good as a transplant but remember they need lots and lots of water- they grow in bogs and can even tolerate being slightly submerged in water. Artichoke, I am not sure if you would get a harvest this year.

In my zone 3 to 4b....just got stuff planted now...its way too hot for many things and have lost many crops already from no rainfall. I did try fall planting last year...failed to ripen b4 it got too cold. Longer growing seasons are better suited for another planting...just not where I live.

@littlerootsranch Жыл бұрын

Ah, you are right about the length of the growing season being important. I have a really long growing season, comparatively, and a fairly mild summer. Our struggle is growing things that love heat like melons and sweet potatoes. We can grow peppers, but they don’t always get as big as other places can grow them.

There is always fun in experimenting. Also, if you keep them well watered, they might be okay. We usually have those big heat waves in the beginning of July and that is the worry. Hopefully we will go back to our regular weather soon.

@pattyhancock2273 Жыл бұрын

Do you start the seeds in pots and then plant in the garden or do you start all these right in the garden?

@littlerootsranch Жыл бұрын

Honestly, it depends on personal preference and space- either is fine. If I am really busy, I do pots by the house so I can make sure to water them and if I am behind, and have the space, I sow into the garden so I don’t have to transplant. Your plants will be stronger direct seeded but germination is higher in pots.

why wait to plant swiss chard? Just plant it as early as possible and let that baby produce till fall. Want a fresh harvest no problem. Just cut it all in August.

@troxycat Жыл бұрын

It's not a bad idea to have a backup crop of chard, especially if the leaf miners take hold and you don't catch them in time!

@littlerootsranch Жыл бұрын

A lot of times, the first succession of chard gets powdery mildew and the second succession will be younger and able to fight it off a little more. Our Junes used to be cold and rainy and then hot in July and cooling off for fall which could trigger bolting. The last couple of years June has been warmer, but I do expect us to go back to our normal weather this year or the next.

@@troxycat leaves dying never stop a Swiss Chard plant tho. You just cut off leaves and it produces twice as many. That and Kale are the super greens that could. ;0
