If I'm able, next year will be a banner year for me in my garden. I've never done succession planting or cool crop planting. I also plan to do canning. The knowledge and encouragement you share help me tremendously in maintaining hope and confidence to make this happen. Winter will be full of rewatching your videos over and over again. Thanks for your hard work, Gary, and for sharing it all with us. Good health and happiness to you and everyone you love!

Your my favorite gardening teacher . I love your videos thank you

You are becoming my go to tutorial for my new garden! I have learned so much! Thanks so much!

Good afternoon from Coastal Georgia Zone 8B! I hope everyone is doing well and staying safe during this pandemic crisis. I’ve been harvesting pole beans, black eyed peas, and purple hull peas. The summer heat was very harsh on my squash and zucchini, but I was already started seed indoors for my fall garden. I’ve also started cabbage seeds as well. I’ve been e joying sugar baby watermelons, delicious tomatoes and cucumbers! Oh boy!!! DELICIOUS!!! It felt so good to harvest the first watermelon from my summer crop. It’s a beautiful volunteer vine that produced a 36.8 pound watermelon! There are still 6 more that are still growing on the vine. I will have to share the picture on the Facebook page! Thank you, Gary, for sharing so much valuable gardening information for us gardeners who are still learning to grow our own food. Wishing everyone a blessed day!!!

I haven't had much luck with Danvers, I'm lucky if I get 20 percent germination, watering daily to keep the soil moist until they are established. New Kuroda do better, and Purple Dragon, Kyoto Red, and Uzbek Yellow do surprisingly well with nearly every seed germinating. The rutabaga seeds and turnip seeds have all sprouted and the seedlings are doing well. It is too hot in Alabama, zone 7B for peas. I'm going to wait two more weeks to plant them. Golden Sweet, and Oregon Green sprout faster, and mature quicker than sugar daddy. I have the beds cleared and ready, just waiting and hoping for cooler weather. My first average frost date is Halloween, so I have a little more time. I just cleared out my zucchini and sowed Lemon Squash, and Yellow Scalloped Squash to replace them. I should have time to sneak in a harvest, or two, or three. I'm looking forward to fall and winter gardening, using low tunnels for frost protection. I swear the summer heat is killing me. Fortunately, I can take refuge inside my trellis tunnel. It is a lot cooler inside it.

I just started my fall garden. I’m excited for this series!

Literally just came inside from direct sowing my first peas and first fall carrots (Delaware, zone 7a) Brassicas have been started indoors :)

Thank you for the fall garden demonstration! I'll be cutting it close, but I'm gonna give cabbage a shot for the fall. Love the videos.

Great Fall series, thank you!

Great informative video! Thank you!

I feel quite lucky because here in Thailand I can grow most summer crops all year round. My problems are not with frost but with extreme sun and heat. Corn is my crop of choice as it does extremely well all year round. Thanks for all your wonderful videos Gary, I love them.

I use mason ladders as hoop supports.

This is a great experience for me thank you so much

Your videos are always on time!!

Thanks for the reminder. I think last year I started carrots in PA in August, and they grew fabulous! Not a pea fan, but started my bush beans this week. I am hoping to put smart the Mexican bean beetle that destroys my crops every spring.

We've had record breaking heat in Texas. There not much to grow. Waiting for the weather to break. Although my sweet potatoes are thriving lol

Thanks Gary for this information. I'm a first year gardener and I also live in Zone 7 so I can follow along with your garden plan. My summer crops are still yielding veggies in my raised beds so I'm starting with fabric pots for my fall plantings. Looking forward to your other fall planting videos so I can follow along.

I am really excited to replant my cool weather crops, as bad weather, bad seeds, and my lack of experience really limited my yields. I replaced much of my seed with new from your excellent shop, and I am so happy to see such good germination! Thank you for your help with my order, by the way. And thanks for these straightforward and useful videos; they are incredibly helpful.

Its still way to hot to plant carrots here in Georgia, Ill wait till end of August, First of September for the cooler weather crops.

thanks Gary !!! always look forward to your quick straightforward videos that r always right on time!

I've never planted for fall before. This year I really want to plant some different lettuces but particularly Romaine because my mom and I really like it. It's difficult at times to find it fresh in stores or the sell by date is coming up soon. Plus, once you open a bag it gets rusty overnight. Well, at the least the compost pile is thriving. I also want to plant some carrots this fall and maybe some peas. I especially want to plant some collards as I love them. Maybe some turnip greens if I can find the right seeds. I'm near the Atlanta area and it's still very hot here so I may wait toward the end of August to do anything. I've bought shade cloth if I need it, but usually September starts to cool down to the 70s at least and our first brisk and cool day will be about mid-October. I don't remember seeing frost on the ground last year until way into December, but that can be unusual. It's usually November for sure. Always look forward to your videos! Keep them coming!

I live in Maryland as well and although the peas sprouted exceptionally well, none of them survived after putting them outside.. it seemed that something ate all the leaves. It is the only crop which none of the plants survived. Maybe there will be better luck planting end of summer..

If you're worried about carrot seeds drying out, just place some weighed down cardboard or flat lumber over the soil untill the seeds germinateand break the surface. Keeps the soil moist and out of the heat

Awesome idea, Gary! I live in Virginia, also zone 7 and was looking for information on Fall gardening. Will be sure to follow! Thanks for sharing!

For some reason I love root plants, especially beets but I never get anything. Not even radishes! I don’t know what I do wrong. I live in Washington State. I just got my first cherry tomato. We had a heat wave in the high 90’s all week and especially the zucchini took off but my crops are super late. Doesn’t look good. I’ll try again carrots and more peas. I do have peas about a foot tall right now. I try to add more every couple weeks. Trying to stock up. Thanks for years of great videos!

hi from arizona zone 9b! we have planted our fall seeds this week. we are looking forward to your updates!

Thanks. I really need motivation to start new crops. This is motivation! And it’s also great instruction. I planted carrots three times this spring unsuccessfully. Hope springs eternal. I will try your method.

Always good info Gary. Thanks!

Thanks great information n video Your gardens look Fabulous

🇨🇦❤️Hi Gary from Garry!

I am excited to hear about beets. I have yet to have any success growing them 😞

love all your videos 🤗 i wanted to ask a question, i pulled up some squash plants that had powdery mildew on them and through them away, should i treat the ground with peroxide and water just to make sure its gone before i start getting the ground ready for fall veggies? thank you christy from va

You have such great, helpful content, thank you!

Another great video! I've planted under shade cloth for the first time to try extending my garden season because of you. I've watched all your video's and I can't find anything about how you deal with stink bugs on tomato plants. Do you have any recommendations?

Thanks for your informative videos Gary!! Love how you show step by step did you plant your call starts from a few weeks ago?

I have started brasicas and leafy greens, indoors and they haven't gotten their true leaves yet. Starting my root crops in the ground soon. Zone 7b NC

I am soo planting along with you ♥️I’m way overthinking my fall seeds here in southern maine..I’m pushing some limits of first freeze maybe..I’m looking figure out how long I can extend with covers and in my greenhouse. As soon as sun lowers and I can plant.. I’m planting peas and carrots!

Thanks Gary, planted 100 peas in my raised bed tonight following your instructions in this awesome video. I’m in 7b Philadelphia suburbs. I have a question about end of season, do you pull pepper plants out by root in raised beds? Just watched the broccoli video and I hope it’s not late to start seed. THANK YOU!!!!!!!

Hello! So excited to have found your channel. We moved from Oregon to Maryland last year. Really looking forward to learning tips from locals like you!

I just put in my peas and beans Wednesday. When would you start kale and lettuce ?

I found large (larger than normal) grubs in the soil of one container a few days ago. After removing quite a few, I added garden diatomaceous earth in the few top inches of soil to eliminate them. I am curious how you control them?

ZONE 7 HERE- my pepper plants are so gorgeous, but the flowers keep falling off :( i havent got any peppers this season. i feel so dicouraged. this year was a total flop for me.

I assume none of these are bush peas, or do you trellis bush peas for extra support? Does the same apply for beans?

Gary, how do you store your extra seeds? Any videos?

Being zone 4 my issue is that a lot of my summer stuff is JUST starting to produce. Tomatoes still aren't even ripe. I'll be taking out a few things this week but I don't have anymore room. :(

Hi Gary, what is your first frost date?

No fall garden yet for us in 9b 😂

Hi Gary, Jo Anne from Baltimore County again. I started carrots in the spring and they have large green tops but when I pulled one out, it was really small. Should I let them go or pull them out. I am starting my fall garden today. Thanks for your advice!

Zone 9a here on the west coast so, I'm holding off on the fall. When do you think we should start, Nov 11 to 30 first frost date here. We haven't had a hard freeze for a couple years. Last spate of teens, and ten was in in 1990! It got as cold as 29 here last February.

What about zone 3

приветик 💙❤💯👍👍👍

The edges of the bed dry out faster. I have to water more than once per day to get seeds to start. I end up over watering towards the center of the bed resulting in fungus gnat and aphid infestations. Unfortunately, I only get direct sunlight from around 2 pm to 5 pm while its in the mid 90 degrees. A few years ago I had amazing luck with peppers. All I seem to get, now, are infestations. My neighbors all started gardening on their patios and I am wondering if that is a part of it, as well.

Hi Gary. What do you use to avoid chipmunks ?

Thinking about feeding my tomato plants when the rain stops. In the past week we have received some 10 inch of rain with 2 last night and another inch today more tonight. Tomatos love the rain but I noticed more blossom end issues when depleted by to much water. What blend would you recommend to kick up washed away fertilize areas. I currently have around 500 plants with hundreds of tomatoes already missing due to wildlife issues, I believe I've cured much of that issue but lower production and much of mid level is gone but plants are at six feet and I'm starting to win.

Is it too late to start Brassicas, indoors, for zone 6a? I just planted Bush Beans, Carrots, Spinach, and Lettuce varieties. Will get peas in this week. We're still experiencing 90+ days, here in Central Missouri.

How do you recommend taking care of a severe infestation of baby squash bugs? I put in 2 squash plants last week and now they are dead. I went and pulled them out and there were literally hundreds of baby squash bugs. I have extra plants but don’t want them to get destroyed too.

Hi Gary, I think I have a cantaloupe vine growing very nicely but it doesn’t have any flowers yet. I live in Philadelphia (7b) and my frost date is Nov 11. Should I wait and see if it blooms or cut it down and try something else?

no one puts fertilizer on sale in my county! Poo😐🤨

How long should zone 8A wait to start a fall garden?

Its over 100.AGAIN...AND NO RAIN FOR ANOTHER MONTH AT.LEAST....and that is normal...BUT...WE HAVE HAD OVER 100 DAYS AND ZERO RAIN SINCE END OF APRIL!!!!..WE.ARE WORRIED ABOUT DRINKING WATER...NO.WAY IN HELL ANYONE IN TEXAS.CAN DO THIS.

Southern California is not worth planting vegetables this year…
