Collards, kale, mustards, green and red cabbage, lettuce and salad greens , butternut squash, beans, sweet potatoes, beets, rutabaga , celery and carrots . I’m also planting onions, garlic, ginger and strawberries to over-winter for next year. Whew 😄😄😆
I absolutely love this video! Trying to create a plan for planting dates is something I’ve struggled with a lot because I don’t visualize numbers/time well. The fact that you gave the equation, talked through it, then did the same with your spreadsheet is an absolute lifesaver!!! I’m super excited to put it into practice!
Thank you for sharing your spreadsheet idea! I'm an Excel geek and just created the spreadsheet with the calculations/dates. Love how it works and that I can see when I should expect my crops to mature. Thank you.
Great solid Fall gardening advice Kevin. Loads of folks think that summer is the end of the gardening year. I garden 365 so much you can grow, also keep the microbial life alive in the soil as there are crops still growing rather than the ground lying fallow. Brilliant episode pal
@@epicgardening Just wrote a script for a new one. and a follow-up video for a shredder I want to build. Leaves are just about to start to drop here, temps are dropping and the wind is building. It won't be long. Both leaf mould videos I have are a few years old now so time I made a new one that is on point. But they are still valuable info. You definitely want to make use of those leaves. They are such a valuable resource to the gardener. Got a new compost video coming out Friday too :)
This is exactly what I needed. I'm more of a care-free gardener, but since i have limited space I may need to get a little more strategic. My summer crops are just okay largely because I didn't have enough materials to make a large enough growing bed. Not that the COVID-19 hoarding has lessened, I'll probably expand the plot to include autumn veggies. Thanks again for a great lesson!
Love the spread sheet! Have one very similar to yours, but will be augmenting it soon. Really liked the "fill in number of plants" calculation. Waste no space!
Hey Kevin, i love your videos man you helped me design my first garden this May by informing me of what vegetables can grow in shaded areas. I was curious if you have any intention to share your spreadsheets. They are excellent.
Very helpful! This is my first year gardening began in the spring and so this will be my first fall garden in Dallas, Texas I look forward to growing new things!
Me too. Usually my garden doesn’t look exactly like the drawings on my graph paper, but I get by. Of course, I’m not too old to learn new tricks! So let’s see that spreadsheet please!
Kevin, I know that I am an old man but I can also have a wishlist. A Birdies Raised Garden Bed is on the top of my wishlist. I am on a fixed small income (Social Security) but dream everyday just like everyone else. In my dreams I see myself tending my crops in a raised bed like you use. Wow, it is so awesome to see what you do in those raised beds.
Hey Kevin, I know this a video from last year. Have you made your planting spreadsheets available yet? I'd love to get one set up for our home and school gardens. Thanks and keep up the great work!
Thanks Kevin. Just this weekend I’m planning out my fall garden. I pretty much figured out like you are teaching by working my way back from our projected first frost. I really like your spreadsheet so I froze the frame and built it. It will be very useful in planning my years of future gardens as well as a look back. Thanks.
That spreadsheet is very helpful! I need to make one to help me with planting and harvesting. I almost always forget to harvest my radish and beets until they flower and start having seedpods so I end up throwing them or just save the seeds. Thank you! ❤️🙏
@@epicgardening hey. I'm just getting started and I would be extremely interested in a copy of your planting spreadsheet. Do you have one available yet? It would be a great to be able to purchase a download!
Oh my goodness. Been watching you for a just about a year now and just found this one. Such a great video. Love the calculator and spreadsheet. #inspired. Huge help. Thank you!!!
It's that time of year again. Been listening to your podcast, and found this video while searching for something to watch/listen to while I was starting my seeds. I'm with all the others who asked you in the past: will you share your spreadsheet, even if it's not "cleaned up?" I'm particularly interested in the plants/square footage numbers. As a brand new gardener, I have no idea how much space things take up, how productive each plant will be, etc. I'm having a hard te figuring on how many of each thing to grow. Keep up the great work!
Excellent , I am doing all kinds of fall gardening experiments..in a mixture of containers and hot beds/cold frames... Appreciate your Calculations with Planting, Maturation times, harvesting etc...well done 😎👍👍
👋🏾Hi Kevin, watch and love all you videos and enjoy your instagram account, this video is “super helpful”, as I’ve just had my garden converted solely to grow organic fruit and veg and have 127 sq ft to plant, have started a spread sheet, but yours is amazingly accurate with all the growing info i need. Gonna start a new spreadsheet, but am very excited for your in-depth video on this spreadsheet. Love from UK - London👍🏾
Hi! I love your channel. Did you ever make the spreadsheet available to the public. I want to start a square foot gardening bed in my backyard, only problem is we have a two story house and my backyard is north facing. I'd try planting in the front yard, but we have an HOA, and they frown on stuff like that. Anyway, I'd love the spreadsheet, please let us know if you ever offer it. Thanks!
I love your spread sheet and board chart you showed. I knew to do that this summer but I write everything down so I got too busy to keep it up and then got lost. I forgot what some tomatoes and herbs were. 🤔 I’m going try to get it done this week. I’m just not good with that sort of thing on the computer. Thank you again
Great information Kevin and that spreadsheet was awesome. It's also a great way just to organize your seeds and so that you know what you have. Could stuff man.
Thank you for sharing your spreadsheet. I am very analytical and have created my own spreadsheet but I am drowning in information so I have tried different layouts etc. I can't wait to try yours!
@@epicgardening I was the same way (I had a spreadsheet too). Maybe in 10 years, you will have a different system as well. Kinda like old vines and trees, I've settled to my environment. 😁
This is my biggest weakness. Succession. I almost need someone telling me when to start and transplant and harvest. We are a busy family but I'm trying to grow as much as I can in 4 raised beds and a no till bed I created this year. I plan to freeze dry everything I grow. Trying to keep up our supply of food incase a famine. I really need help with how to succession plant because I'm limited on room. I'm still learning so adding more beds is just too much. We are a family of 4. Any advice is welcome!
Chinese pumpkin, bottle gourd, fuzzy melon, bitter melon, pepper, eggplant, long bean; there are also tomato, luffa, cucumber and green bean...... Central Florida
@epic gardening You could make a spreadsheet like this for your viewers, with common plants with the values entered. All they'd have to do is enter their last frost date and everything would adjust accordingly. Somebody has had to done this already. If not I may do it myself.
OMG! That spreadsheet is so smart! I might be coming into an opportunity to be gardening on a larger scale maybe even for market so that would incredibly useful for me.
@@epicgardening I'm looking forward to using it and being more mindful of my planting times. Rather than whatever whenever type of mentally I started with since our frost date is really late if we even get one. As always thanks for sharing your ideas and knowledge
Is the goal to harvest your plants before the frost? I live in Zone 10a and use a spreadsheet from Next Level Gardening and was going to start seeds in Oct. and plant in Nov. Should I be starting seeds now so they go in the garden by Oct.
Do you have a video on how much drip irrigation is necessary per size of bed? I just switched from overhead sprinklers to a drip system especially for tomatoes and I’m so nervous the raised beds won’t get enough water unos that we are in the dry season in 19a/FL.
Is the spreadsheet available this year? Would love to download it, even if it costs a few bucks. I'm sure many other people would be willing to pay for your effort as well.
great video! could you share a link to that spreadsheet you used with all the formulas? I'm useless with excel and it would be awesome to be able to copy yours using the same formulas
I'm not sure if I can do fall planting. I have carrot and radish seeds. It gets way to hot during summer to try and grow them. But, it has only recently within the last couple of days started cooling down enough. I am growing in fabric pots; so, am not sure how protective they would be from frost. This is my first year for growing any kind of veggies since my hospitalization ended on March 1. I am happy with getting so many cucumbers and tomatoes from just a few plants. I've checked different sources online and it seems that the first frost for my area can be anytime from the end of September through sometime in October. I remember one year that it snowed on Halloween. Maybe I should wait until spring to do my radishes and carrots. What do you think?
You are so good!!!! I was looking at my summer herbs and its time to harvest... I wasn't thinking about fall planting...I live in a townhome so my space is small... any suggestions on what I can plant in pots... I'm in North Carolina
Plants grow more slowly with a weakening Autumn sun, so even a 45 day crop will take much longer to mature so keep that in mind and plant earlier than you think
Epic Gardening last year I planted like 40 kale plants without taking that into account. They were tiny in winter and covered in 2ft of snow for a few weeks. Luckily most of them survived and just kept growing in the spring, but I didn’t get my initial Fall harvest because of it. Lesson learned.
I love this ~ hopefully I will make my own similar style tracking system because that’s how it works in my head but I often fly by the seat of my pants🤪
When I lived in HI it was basically just plain easy to grow all warm weather crops. I think cool weather stuff is pretty challenging- shade cloth probably would have made a big difference. But calendar dates just barely applied. I would be more concerned with really rainy seasons, or hurricane season.
@@epicgardening hahahaha.. somehow I still have a few going ,they are going into decline though.. still chopping away.. first load of catfish comes on saturday.. lol
I do have a fall gardening question. I live in the south and I'm struggling to find information on how high the temperatures can be to transplant out my leafy greens in the fall without them bolting. It's mid-September and still in the low 90s. What high temperatures am I looking for to move these fall plant starts outside?
My home town is in the area Vancouver Canada and San Diego is almost Mexican border.My area is bet zone 8-9 and I love to grow fall & winter Veg. or herbs I`m new, could you please give me a direction about growing fall & winter Veg. or herbs I really appreciate for your help. Best regards Mike
Believe it or not, I built a spreadsheet to keep track of my fall planting timing and plans too💕. Great minds think a like 😄. I love your square foot planting calculator. That’s pretty cool 😎
