Learning what you and yours actually will eat is an important part of learning to garden and use your space efficiently. Thanks for sharing your plans.
Market farmer here in the Augusta Area. I got the first wave of fall carrots planted already (napoli, purple haze, yellowstone). I will plant a 50 ft row of them every week until mid-September. Some rows get harvested @ Thanksgiving, and others I will harvest in the Spring. Got a quarter acre of pumpkins maturing right now, mostly jack-be-little and baby boo, with a few big pumpkins for the kids. If you are trying to sell pumpkins in the South and have not had any luck, try the small pumpkins, they work better. Already planted broccoli too, albeit in a shade house with 60% shade cloth and a misting system. YEEHAW. Fall garden is the best garden in Georgialina.
@@Daddyo_farms Basically everything: Lettuce, Collards, Kale, Chard, Bok Choy, Pak Choi, Cauliflower, Broccoli, Cabbage, Carrots, Pumpkins, Winter Squash, etc. etc. etc.
@@Daddyo_farms No. It would have to be hydroponic here in Georgia/SC. I have a friend that does it and as long as the roots stay cool the lettuce isn't bitter. I'm letting him keep that avenue because hydro is just too annoying for my tastes.
I had several types of seed I hadn’t gotten put up from last year that I didn’t know what they were, so I threw them all into a kiddie pool bed. So far, all that’s come up is lettuce. But I like lettuce, so yay!
Travis what I would like to know is your history into gardening you are the most knowledgeable of anyone I follow and your weather is somewhat close to Texas except right now we are in an oven.
A good late season cabbage for 6b/7a is Late Flat Dutch. Start early July, harvest mid to end of October. It's a large dense cabbage that's exceptional for making sauerkraut and for storage. No idea when it could be started in the South but it takes over 100 days.
A thing to note about Lacinato type kale, if you have a lovely perennial and shrub garden but no room for veggies this is something that you can mix into your garden without wrecking the aesthetics.
I usually only plant mixed greens, collards, carrots, and beets in the Fall. I usually plant cabbage in the Spring. I had one head that was a little over 20 lbs. The variety was Tropic Giant.
I started my 'gai lan' seeds yesterday. They should be put into the ground by the end of the month. I prefer 'gai lan' (Chinese broccoli) over normal broccoli.
Could plant them all now here across the pond, its bloomin cold! we are due as low as 15c thats about 60F next week! I want a summer :( my melons are struggling I reckon they will die off next week completely, tomatoes only just throwing out flowers, luffa plants gave up and keeled over a week ago, brassicas are doing awesome, peas are taller than me, no flowers! beans are meh, all round this year has been dire apart from courgette, they are banging!
That old timey blue collard is just the best tasting green, but the cabbage moths will eat it before the flash. I started some flash back in march and we have been eating them all summer. The cabbage moths have started in on them, but the plants are still hanging on.
i am in zone 7b/8a and am trying to re-learn to garden .. the hardest part of this is learning what to plant and when is the best time to plant it, which variety will grow best in my area .. i thank you for your information
Following your lead for most of the fall line up with only a few exceptions. Olympia F1 spinach slow bolting performs really well for my warm winters here along the Southeast Texas coast. Optima butterhead lettuce does well all season keeping it's flavor into mid to late summer with ample water. Excited to add Bravo to the mix hopeful it'll be a go to variety. Can't wait for that first pot of salt pork and mustard greens/corn bread for the pot liquor. don't get no better
Can't wait to talk schedule on a future video... that's really the trick to it all in the Fall. Things I'd like to see you grow are Broccoli Rabe (Rapini) and Kohlrabi. I'm new to these two crops.. spring was a total flop. Kohlrabi never headed in the spring and went to bolt very quickly. Rapini did the same. We got to eat a few of the Rapini heads before they flowered and they were absolutely delicious; but they bolted really quickly and it was a waste of space in the raised bed in spring. We decided that fall would have the optimal conditions for these 2 brassicas. But! I've never raised them and so I need to dial in the feeding needs and cold tolerance, etc. Really value your advice and would love to hear your thoughts on these two crops specifically.
Was hoping to hear what onion and garlic varieties you are trying this year! Just ordered my onion seed. Gonna try about six varieties and plant about 4000 total 😂
@@LazyDogFarm I was really debating that white phantom. Looking forward to videos next year on how they do for ya! I’m primarily sticking with DP seed cause they did so well for us this past year (upstate sc). But we are going to be growing DP sweet, Sapelo Sweet, Chianti, Georgia boy, and I am trying the yellow granex PRR as my smaller round onion. Grew Chianti, DP sweet and Sapelo last time and had amazing results!
@@LazyDogFarm I am in north Ga so I follow a lot of your schedule plus or minus two weeks. I have to start making my plan at the beginning of august so I plant at the end. Thanks for your reply and I look forward to the next video
I'm not a fan of turnip greens either. Much prefer collards. However rutabaga greens with the roots cut up in it aren't bad. Especially mixed with some collards
Lol.chard...i grow it every year. No one ever eats it but its a beauty...i think ill mive it to the landscape...thst and the.fancy looking kale...i habe to sneak it into my meals foe all the picky eaters i have. Ya know...i want to say...AGAIN...im pusbing 80...and one thing i have noticed with ZERO exceptions...if u feed kids lots of HOME GrOWN FOODS..their iqs are ALWAYS...AND I MEAN ALWAYS...MUCH LARGER THAN THOSE WHO EAT CHIPS ECT...AND OLD FOLKS ARE MUCH HEALTHIER...JUST SAYING MY OBSERVATION OVER ALMOST 80 YEARS
@@LazyDogFarm so if I planted before say here in a few weeks I’d still need to let them stay in the ground through the winter and not pull them at the 70 days of maturity?! First time growing carrots so thanks for the help!
I’d think in the shade would be ok, assuming it’s not terribly hot, based on your zone. In South Mississippi, it’s difficult to get it cool enough even in my home to get my brassicas going, although so far so good on my Brussels sprouts this year.
@@donpadawan Upper 90’s here, and rising. Can you sow your rutabagas straight where they’ll grow? I transplant root crops, but it’s said throughout the gardening community they do better direct seeded.
