I will say i wish u would post more..especially with fall starting of seedlings starting in the austin area..just some walk thrus help motivate me..and as im pushing 80 and cant take this stupid heat i need all the encouragement motivation i can get...granted i love my veggies and flowers but at this time of year...it literally takes days off my already shortened life...like i have about 50 marigolds and celosia i need to get into the ground but i just cant seem to do it.
Thanks for telling a fellow CenTex gardener the planting dates you use. Gives me better guidance if I am on the right track with my planting. It was a great spring which makes up for last year. ;)
Am thrilled to see a central Texas gardener here on RU-vid. I usually specify “in Texas” when searching for a “how to” on growing, but only today, did one of your videos come up. Subscribed immediately! LOL We know that gardens in Minnesota, etc. don’t really relate to growing in our summer temperatures . This carrot video is current, but when do you plant your LAST succession? Was it February? I typically use the TAMU spring & fall planting guide (as a general guide), but am always willing to work outside the box, if something will grow beyond that guide. B-CS is my central Texas area 8b. Looking forward to some of your other videos.
Thank you!! My last planting was in mid-February, but one could plant through March with faster maturing varieties such as the Napoli which is 55 days to harvest. Late afternoon shade is beneficial too. I have also experimented with interplanting them with warm-season crops to extend the season. They can get a little shade from tomatoes or peppers.
Thanks very much! I've added these to my Amazon shop www.amazon.com/shop/newgardenroad?ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_aipsfshop_aipsfnewgardenroad_PN3RWJMBV973950WY3R5 The seeding tool: a.co/d/buWupto The seedbed: a.co/d/dOlOTg1
