Growing a Fall Garden for the First Time 

"It should be a Human Right to have acces to a good soil. And it would be good if people took good care of soil" Thanks for that refletion, Siloé. Here in Chile, we are facing a constitutional process and your words bring me inspiration in that way.

Idealism is not always unrealistic. The knowledge of healing the earth is not common knowledge. Thank you for caring. ☺

I love your compassion🌱Very inspired in a person who understands the value of nature🌱❤️

Many people have forgotten how dependent we are with the land. Thanks for helping to remind them!

I started a winter garden the last week of July and have been very happy to have the greens going into fall. I am cleaning out beds for garlic and some more fall/winter greens. I absolutely agree that a piece of land to grow food should be a human right.

I wish you great success, and I'm always happy to hear about people growing fall gardens! There are so many plants that survive frosts, like Brussels sprouts (though those need to be started earlier than fall as do slower growers like cabbages or leeks), spinach, winter purslane, lamb's lettuce, leeks, savoy cabbage, parsnips, Jerusalem artichokes... I harvest all winter and into spring. You're an inspiration, and I wish everyone had that connection to the land and nature that you do.

I absolutely love your videos. My growing zone in not even close to yours but I get true inspiration to get out there and work in my garden. Hope you have a great day. Happy growing.

I saw a new video and quickly clicked! This is the first year I've started seriously gardening (containers on my apartment porch) and I am experimenting with fall planting; I'm glad to see you are also doing fall planting and hope to follow along with you as your fall garden progresses. I really enjoy your gardening videos, they are works of art as well as being educational. You deserve so many more subscribers.

It is my personal opinion that we already have the human right to grow our own food. Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness. Certainly, food security falls under at least one of those categories. What I think really needs to happen is an awakening of the American people to take back their own food production. I think it needs to be a cultural shift. Especially in the state of uncertainty in the world right now. And while I currently live in an apartment and are unable to grow all of my food, I do grow some, and I try to buy as much from local organic farmers as possible. I hope one day to close my loop a little more, but this is where I'm at right now. Thanks for the content. I'm really glad I found you. Your garden is beautiful.

My list for next Autumn (fall) are Brussel sprouts, broad beans, lettuces, radishes 'French Breakfast', coriander (cilantro), swedes, carrots (the cold make them DELICIOUSLY SWEET!). We're in spring now, but I am keeping in my head, to start sowing at the end of summer :D Hi from South Australia.

I have a planted my fall garden. German Feldsalat also known as Rapunzel salad, broccoli, carrots and radishes.

Fresh greens in the winter is so wonderful. There are varieties that tolerate cold better than others. Many asian greens do better in cold as do some lettuces kales, spinach, mache and corn salad. A cover helps keep rain and frost off of them.

Your words align so well with what I think. If only edible plants and trees were as common as avenue trees, it would solve so many problems. Oh, for an ideal world....

I grew up in the south Bronx and I learned how to vegetable garden at NYBG when I was 9. I decided then that I must live in a house when I grew up so I could garden cuz there was zero land or even sun in the windows of our apartment. I did without a lot of stuff but I got my yard (more important than the house really). BTW that looked like pokeweed and it can be toxic and hopefully u didn’t sit on any berries in those light colored pants. In UK they call it Indian Ink Bush and it is a big deal but where I live it is pretty invasive and has a giant tap root.

This is also my first year trying a fall garden! This August I direct sowed mostly kole crops, plus a little lettuce and broccolini and Asian greens. Harvested yellow flowers with my kale as you suggested, also for the first time today. Thank you for the abundant inspiration!

That is so true, only if people had a little land to grow and understand its best and better! Like anything else, I have learned to grow in summer and fall. Awesome video! Thank you for what you do! God bless!

Care of Land, Care of People, Fair Share. Blessings Abound.

Love the channel

Lets grow a fall garden!

Hi Siloe, I agree that all people must have access to land. Even people that live in apartment buildings should have access to community gardens. Every community must have community gardens with a decent amount of land for each member. Enjoy your fall garden. I can’t here in Alberta Canada as winter is coming. We almost don’t have fall here. One or two weeks more and that is it.

I try to look around to see what thrives and run with it. I never liked roses, but there are rose gardens in Boise so I gave it ago. I have the most beautiful roses now, love them.

Do you ever play stardew valley? Thats how I got recommended this channel lol

We didnt do a fall garden this year this will be fun to see how it is going for you this year.

When I get sad about how cold it gets here I remind myself it's not that bad it doesn't even snow here 😅 hoping to get some time to get into the greenhouse and pot up some spring seedlings although I have no idea if this is going to be an October planting year or if I'll have to wait till November this year 😅

👏🏻 parabéns

It has always seemed to me that replicating everyone else's square monoculture of grass & severely pruned shrubs implies a lack of creativity & respect for what nature decided would grow best there. I admire those that take time to understand the land & learn from it more than those who demand it bend to their will. Could be from a childhood being made to cut the grass & shear the hedges when all I wanted to do was play in the woods!

I don't do much of a fall garden because my freezer is usually stocked for the winter. I grow a few things, but not much.

I’m trying my first fall garden this year. We just got a frost last night and I was not happy to see what it did to my plants. I’m always ready for fall and yet I’m never ready for fall if that makes any sense.

Are you gonna grow nappa cabbage? :D

Moved to the country side during COVID. Deurbanised. I think deurbanisation should be a human right.
