It isn't too late for carrots if you plant a winter carrot, such as the Kyoto Red. They get sweeter after frost and prefer winter's cool weather. I love growing Daikon Radish in the Fall, and any that aren't pulled for eating are left as a winter cover crop to open the soil. Bunching onions can be planted in the fall and left to grow over the winter for very early green onions in the Spring.

Insects destroyed all cabbage, broccoli, despite insect netting. Animals ate half the raspberries, blueberries, tomatoes (tomatoes despite protective net bags over tomatoes-they chew thru the bags!). Animals ate 100% of corn, despite extensive netting. Beets in summer developed severe fungus. Potato beetle issues Zone 5b, partial sun (a clearance in the woods) Very difficult year

Oh you will love purple sprouting broccoli. Mine survived minus 20F under cover for an abundance in spring.

Good to see Im not the only one with tomatoes that are just turning.

Hello from west coast of Ireland. So pleased to have accidentally found your channel. 👏🏻👏🏻👌🏻👌🏻

I always make note of 'What to sow now ' then completely forget to sow them...duh! I have time today to sow much of what you've mentioned...just checking my seed box. Thanks Huw x

Hey Huw. I've sown purple sprouting broccoli early September last year and I had a very nice crop in May and June this year! Also, I didnt get a chance to cut down the plants and one of them is flowering again now!! 😮 So I'll have another crop in a week or so. This time I sown some seeds second half of July, but I didn't get a chance to repot them yet, so they're too small 🤦🏻‍♀️ so God knows what I'll get next year 😂😂

WELCOME BACK HUW!!!!! We missed you while you were out on break. Thx for this amazing video. We must consider zones while absorbing your advice. One commenter mentioned that it's not too late to plant carrots however, you are sharing cold frame and polythene visuals so thank you. I get it. You're appreciated!!!!!!❤

All these suggestions are very specific to your unique temperate climate. I live in Wisconsin, northern midwest usa, so temps are 30s in the summer and negative 30 in the winter at times zone 4, so believe it or not, my kale is dead by christmas typically but everything bolts in summer

You never seem to have any insect or slug damage, nor any fungus disease.If I grew Kohlrabi without a net, the white cabbage butterfly would ecimate the leaves with caterpillars, thousands of them. From Germany

Yep!,basically have been good, though a little munched. Lots of things have bolted😢,onions of course, garlic,beetroot and even my chard which had been a real surprise.

I live in totally different zones than yours. Your abundant garden makes me wishes to buy a plot of land which is so expensive here😢.

Good morning from Ontario Canada 🇨🇦!

Ooohhhh….tatsoi……I tended my seedlings with love, planted them out in a bed which has historically been a slug free zone….carefully protected….ALL eaten!😱

austrian sythes. I've got one love it. great garden. thank you

Some great suggestions so thank you very much Huw. Kind regards. Gary

I always love your videos. From SE Texas

I didn’t know Jack Whitehall loved gardening

Sow nothing here in 100 degree heat as you are waisting your time, wait for September. Relax and enjoy the sun, plenty time to grow new crops for Christmas.

as well as the usual staples, I like to grow crops with a story; peas and beans developed 200 years ago in the local area, native American trail of tears beans etc. after watching an earlier video I managed to source some Rhondda black runner beans, and in this video i see huw is growing Ceredigion variety (which seems to be available in Ireland!) any ideas about relative taste?

This year on my plots has been a nightmare!. A grow in the northwest of England, we,very had drought now drowning. We are now overrun with slugs and snails and catapillars, beetroot haven't grown, turnips plug plants eaten, a few beans are now growing after the third sowing. And we now have blight on the plots. I grow the no big way and spread about 3 tons of home made compost on plots. But this year has left me speechless. We have our annual veg show in two weeks, and we're wondering if anyone will have anything to show?. Very envious of your success in grows clean and beautiful veg. I seem to remember you published a book, is it still avaliable? And how much? And how do I get one. Cheers .

Thanks!

That was great! Thanks!

💚 Thanks Huw. Your garden looks SO beautiful, as always!💚

Ooo I’m on time

How come you never seem to have to take off netting 😂... It's like pests completely avoid your garden 😢

Very interesting

Nice! Thank you*

Your green vegetables are so nicely grown and mine wasn't like that , what is solution to grow clean and nice ?

I wish my veg looked half as good as yours

most of my pok choi, cauliflower, radish, cabbages basically everything is being eaten by caterpillars, help

Just curious, do you sell your beautiful vegetables and flowers at market? ❤

Huw where can you buy seed potatoes in August in Ireland. Love your programmes.

Me too!

I wonder if it would be too complicated for Huw to describe this from more of an international perspective. Like, if you’re in zone such and such you could sow this or that now. I think it must be or he’d be doing it for his viewers around the globe. Just a thought. Still, a great video though some of what he describes doesn’t apply to my climate…

Was that Reisetomate? I'm growing those this year. Translates as Travelling Tomato. It's a "tear and share" type, from what I understand.

I wish someone would do a what to sow for a zone 2 not the warm zones.

I am not familiar with ANY of the of the three leafy greens you mentioned: But the first eludes me. Is the LATIN "Plutonia" or was it "Flutonia"? I assumed that was the Latin, but I can find NAUGHT on any leafy green so named. It seems conclusive that I misheard. Could you please correct me/and or add a list of the plants above, for those of us who are likewise linguistically challenged? Thank you. [Later EDIT] I image searched the plant which followed your words, and it says this is Claytonia perfoliata, commonly known as miner's lettuce, Indian lettuce, or winter purslane, is a flowering plant in the family Montiaceae., which APPARENTLY is a different plant than the "lamb's lettuce" (listed second), as Google says the latter is Valerianella locusta, commonly called mâche or mache; common cornsalad; or lamb's lettuce, is a small, herbaceous, annual flowering plant in the honeysuckle family Caprifoliaceae. I rather assumed the photos was "lamb's lettuce", but it seems that, too, was incorrect. IF anyone (Besides Huw) could educate me, it would be greatly appreciated. Again, thanks.

What kind of soft close hinges did you use for this hoop bed Huw?

nice

See im looking to try veg for over the winter but I don't like onions or raddish or spring onion but love cabbage sprouts broccoli cauliflower runner beans swede. From what's ive been reading the only thing that will finish this side of Christmas is potatoes,is this correct??

can we do cauliflower to eat over winter then? for 'christmas' type thing?

Can you directly plant seed in the ground rather than pots

What about celery in hightunnel

Is Kohlrabi actually worth it? I heard that it’s just essentially broccoli stem? 🤙🏻👍🏻

❣️❣️❣️

When should spaghetti squash be harvested (mine still look like the one at the beginning of this video)?

If I plant peas or sugar snaps now in raised bed, open to the elements? Just moved in, cauliflower overwinter for April? Any tips please

I've got a question, which someone might know the answer to. Last year I grew yellow French beans. I saved the seed and sowed and planted them this year. Only this year they are purple. As far as I know French beans do not cross pollinate, so I was expecting yellow ones again this year. My neighbour on the plot next to me at my allotment did grow purple ones but the plants were a good 20m apart. Not one of the plants is yellow, they are all purple. Any clues?

🌱🌱🌱

What does 'run to seed' mean?

Is that Galaxy NOTE in ur pocket ?

i have autumn king carrots transplanted , they are okay through autumn until winter right ?

Everything I'm sowing outside is being destroyed by flea beetle... I've had to resort back to sowing in greenhouse 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤷‍♀️
