Hi, Ben! North Florida Fall gardens are the best! I've got seed trays of broccoli, cauliflower, cabbages, rutabagas, collards and lettuces already sown, and today, I started three 162 cell trays of sweet, short-day, onions. In the next few weeks, I'll be direct seeding English peas, beets, and carrots to over-winter. I'm hoping all goes well, like last year.

I've got lettuce, arugula, radishes, cress, green onions, and kale sown for the fall garden. I'm in growing zone 3B, and have no problems overwintering fall-planted garlic. You just need to bury the cloves deep enough and cover it with straw or leaves. It's one of the first things to pop up in the spring.

@pio4362 4 года назад

Interesting to hear your comments on Rocket. I sowed it the same time as Lettuce in early June, and I barely got 2 weeks out of the wild rocket, whilst I'm still feasting on the lettuce! And I didn't even pick the rocket as often as I should, owing to newbie confusion (thought it was a weed at one stage). Will try resowing it soon then with garlic. The other day I sowed beetroot for 1st time, hopes it not too late in our temperate climate.

Brussels sprouts!!! And lots of other brassicas... Brassicas do incredible things in the cold, they get sweeter and bright and clean tasting. The best Brussels sprouts are those you dig out of the snow... They are incredible, absolutely delicious, the veggie I look forward to the most each year... (yes, I grow them all year round), but the ones dug out of the snow are completely different and I could never eat enough of them. Agribon frost covers and the green house keeps me in veggies all year round, but those brassicas get the full brunt of winter and make your mouth smile when they get covered in snow. Deep winter is my favorite time of the year for veggies... While I love fresh sweet corn and melons, and spring/summer what not, and I love fall and winter squashes, nothing compares to those snow picked brassicas. Nothing!!!

@The.Ghost.of.Tom.Joad. 3 года назад

Excellent stuff. As usual, we're growing arugula, romaine, and a mesclun salad mix of red kale, leaf lettuces, endive and chervil in pots which I'll move into the garage when a deep frost threatens. I live a mile from Lake Erie, and our early winters are mild since the lake retains a lot of heat. So we harvest fresh salad greens through late December when sans greenhouse, the cold and lack of sun tilts the cost/ benefit in the direction of buying romaine hearts at the grocery. However, we'll be harvesting our mature kale and Brussel sprouts through most of the winter, and they taste better after a frost, IMHO.

I agree, so many vegetables taste great after a frost. Great to be so close to Lake Erie - like you say, it's a massive storage heater for you!

@GrowVeg 4 года назад

Peppers (and chilli peppers) can do reasonably well on a sunny windowsill. Also salad leaves, though in midwinter you really need a grow light to give them enough light to continue growing healthily. Also worth trying pots of leafy herbs, from which you can take cuttings on the windowsill. Oh, and definitely try sprouting seeds: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-f1bAHlmIR88.html

Hi! I have just ordered a raised bed kit, for my first attempt at veg growing!! I have an Autumn kit of broad beans, peas, onion, shallots and garlic. I'm in Bournemouth, so winters are mild, but should I put out slug traps / netting / fleece, or just leave them be? I'm keen to get going, but as a complete beginner, would I be better off waiting until Spring to start?

@Outdoorsimplicity 2 года назад

I’m at the same stage as you, good luck! I bought some fleece. I saw a video that says to put a plank of wood at an angle propped up against the outer edge of the bed for slugs to hide under

@GrowVeg 2 года назад

You may not need netting/fleece - but add it if you do find birds are a problem and nip at your young seedlings. For slugs, just be sure to remove any lying debris so there are fewer places for them to hide. Or put a plank of wood down as Hayley suggests then collect up and remove the slugs regularly as they hide beneath it. I'd leave slug traps until next spring.

Not sure what you mean by that Cecilia. Could you explain in a little more detail, sorry.

... what hardiness zones are you talking?!? I'm in 4.5 USDA HARDINESS ZONE.

It does vary somewhat. The advice here is based on an 'average' of zone 8 or thereabouts, but the advice would apply to other zones to varying degrees. Your winters are very hard so winter salads would need some form of cold protection, and you would probably be best off starting fava beans in the spring. I would have hesitated about garlic (and onion sets) but Amanda Talon, who has also left a comment for this video, has this to say: 'I'm in growing zone 3B, and have no problems overwintering fall-planted garlic. You just need to bury the cloves deep enough and cover it with straw or leaves. It's one of the first things to pop up in the spring.'
