What Vegetables Can I Still Plant in August? IN ANY CLIMATE 

And just like that I clicked pause and grabbed the squash seed package,and went to the garden….. so now to watch the rest of the video.

Don't forget you can jumpstart a new tomato plant right now by cutting a "sucker" out of the armpit of an existing tomato plant. This is often called cloning because you get an exact replica of the parent plant. Stick the stem in water up to the first leaf in a sunny windowsill and wait about 2 weeks for the roots to form, then plant it. The more stem the better, so clip a leaf or two off. I've got 2 San Marzano clones going right now for fall!

Hi Brian, I've already started my fall garden with New Kuroda carrots, Purple Dragon carrots, Kyoto Red carrots, Uzbek gold carrots, Navone Gold rutabagas, Purple Top rutabagas, and turnips. I have five newly sprouted cucumber vines growing, and a batch of Danvers and red potatoes that will be ready to harvest in about a week. I will be resowing the red potatoes with potatoes from an earlier harvest. My zucchini are done, and dying, two plants. Tomorrow, I'll pull them up, and replace them with lemon squash, and yellow scallop squash. In August, I will be planting more turnips, Yod Fah, Chinese Cabbage, Bok Choy, and maybe some radishes. As the temperatures cool, in September, I will be planting the bulk of my fall garden. First, I have to prepare another 4x8 foot raised bed. I'm running our of garden space. LOL. I have a goal to produce half of the food I eat, or more, from my garden next year. I'm learning to can, freeze, and dehydrate, and have a deep freezer that is nearly full, and tomatoes and pickles on the shelf ready to eat this winter. I'm out of basil. Any guess at what I am picking tomorrow and dehydrating?

My tomatoes this year are the ones who are tired. They have been sun burnt, diseased and insect havens. I’m blessed to have gotten the few good ones I did. Today, I direct sowed bush beans and I’ve started some greens and my second crop of potatoes. I am praying for all the homesteaders and farmers who are suffering in these extreme temps, floods and drought this season.

Actually just started my tomato seeds today, inside where it's only 77F and well over 100 outside daily. Will plant out after turning the soil mid September. In Phoenix we must adapt and overcome. I've found this schedule to work very well.

This my first time gardening, Zone 9a. The start of spring was good but now nothing is growing. Its so hot here in Louisiana

Plant cucumbers halfway thru summer? Who knew?!! I will plant it in a few days. Maybe that will help against the powdery mildew I get on my cucumbers halfway thru summer when it's hot and humid. Thanks for the tip!!

Thank you for this video! SC heat and humidity has decimated my garden!!! Ugh. I pulled out all of my vine borer riddled squash and zucchini 2 weeks ago, but this gave me hope. Tomato seeds were started last week to try again after fighting caterpillars and blight. I found a few tomato starts also. I've had some trouble starting seeds indoors. So many were leggy or never sprouted. Live and learn...I tried. This video gave me hope that squash and tomato season isn't over for me. 😁 Thank you!!! 🌱

OMG, Brian! I could watch an hour long video of your garden and that music. It’s stunning!

I loved the end of your video with all the flowers and pics of your garden growth with the music in the background. Nice touch!

I just planted a bunch of seeds today on trays to start my fall garden. I will have a winter garden. I have 12 raised beds & use the hoop house approach. Love having fresh vegs all winter & no bugs!

Your garden is looking great! I have hardly harvested this year due to the heat. It has been getting to over a hundred by 8 in the morning for weeks on end now. Finally the temps are dropping a little, but we luckily we got rain this morning. The first time I won't have to water my garden since Spring. It's been a crazy season all around for us.

I started a fall garden in 2020 and loved it. Last year I planted my crops earlier than Burpee says and had problems with white flies, and fungus gnats, but as the weather cooled down my garden thrived and love the cooler weather and the fewer bugs. Fall is my favorite time to garden! Thanks for your tips!

This past week I replanted zucchini and cucumbers. The cucumbers germinated in 3 days. This coming week i will be planting lettuce and replanting beets and carrots.

This year I’ve had an amazing crop of snake/long beans - 3 harvests a week and still going strong - you can almost watch them grow - I think these could be planted now as they don’t take long before sprouting. I’m in Tennessee.

Thanks for the pep talk! Bring on FALL! 🍁 Spider mites decimated my garden while on vacation. 100+ Temps in Zone 9a for weeks on end even with shade cloth have been very discouraging. Can’t give up! ❤️‍🩹

Thank you! I wish I could like this twice, once for being so timely and twice for all the extra small details you (always) include. You’re so helpful to me and have made a huge difference in my garden this year! I’m no longer afraid and avoiding the tough stuff about gardening because I know where to go for accurate advice and options. Thank you!!!!

We (eastern Washington) got a few beautiful cooler days..75. But now we're going back to the upper 90's and 100's. I am SO WAITING for the Fall's cooler temperatures.

Your garden looks amazing and love hearing your rooster crowing !

Thanks for the Fall garden encouragement - loved the garden visuals and relaxing music at the end.

I bought a Sweet 100 Cherry tomato starter plant the first week of July. Then I went to this local veggie farm, the third week of July, and got an heirloom Cherokee Purple tomato, and planted a thick slice of it in a starter pot of soil, I now have six strong seedlings that are growing by the minute. Oh, and I'm a fulltime mobile dweller and am growing those, and a few others, right in here with me. 😉🙌🏾🥳

Fall garden planned for this first-timer! After watching one of your videos I was inspired to get ready for fall 🙂 I've got broccoli and brussell sprouts growing under the lights right now.

So past ready for Fall!!! Here in the South we are eat up with heat, lack of rain, humidity, stink bugs, Japanese beetles, yellow jackets, all kinds of wasps and a variety of other pests!

My summer garden did not do to well. You have convinced me to try fall garden. Hopefully it will give me a better result.

Thanks Brian!! I love these types of videos that target a specific time of the year.

Winter gardening is wonderful and I have more success with it than my summer garden. I really liked the video tour of your garden with the guitar music!

THANK YOU for this video and all the others you do! Love the continuous education you share with us!

I'm still excited about my summer garden. Just getting my summer quash. Ran my personal size butternut and my beans on an arch this year. So cool. I've had a bumper crop of red potatoes. Dug up 161 taters yesterday. I love my fall and winter garden. Have my seeds all picked out. Also in warm climates you can grow early potatoes, too. Looking for companies where I can get the seed potatoes. So far the companies are sold out. Thank you for your great information. Happy gardening everyone 👍😁🌱

This year has been terrible from the heat. I have barely had any tomatoes and my squash is minimal. 4 to be exact. 1 zucchini. The heat had just about burned my garden out. Thank you for the great information. Going to start again. Today was the first day we received rain since April. Love all your video. Thanks for giving me hope!!!

Yes, I already have my fall seedlings under grow lights! Can’t wait for your fall video.

Glad to see you're pushing through and positive despite the critter issues.👍😁

Last year I was too late, but now I am ready to rock and roll for the Fall 😉

I still watch your channel all the time, I'm in the tropics so everything I have to plan it by ear, rarely anything below 80°, hot and dry or hot and wet

Absolutely doing a fall garden thanks to your guidance!

Thanks Brian! I'm in Alberta Canada and oh boy. What a crappy season so far. 😂 between all the aphids on my petunias, mites on my peas and spreading to some other flowers and my cucumbers, PLUS the ants in my yard and worms on my strawberry leaves I am at my wits end! So far all the bad storms with hail have missed us thank God that would be the icing on the cake. 🙄😒

Thanks Brian!

Garden looks great Brian!

Yesss! This gives me something to look forward to.

Thank you so much for making these videos. You are really helping so many people. Blessings!

Your garden is gorgeous! So glad you were able to figure out the mushroom compost thing!

Your garden looks amazing, in spite of all your troubles this year! You inspire!

This is my second year gardening and I feel all the pests found my garden, last year was not this bad. Even grasshoppers found it and I hadn’t seen a grasshopper in many years. I’m ready for the fall garden but our first frost date is early November 🤞🏼We get a little longer. 👍🏻

Great video! I have renewed enthusiasm for another garden try this season. Thank you.

I've never done a fall garden and I can't wait for the video! I definitely want a fall garden this year

So glad u did this, I was just thinking about this. First time gardening this year. My summer crop was amazing

I just starting prepping new containers for my fall garden. You gave me a few ideas for last minute additions. Thanks!

I recently went to my local nursery and was puzzled by all the cool weather starts, but now understand thanks to you Brian. I have never done a fall garden so this may be my first year to do so. Thanks again!!!!

Ugh thanks for the pep talk! I am discouraged and this gives me a boost! 👍🏼

Yes planning on Fall gardening in Alabama!

Oh !!! You just don't know how happy this video makes me, after all the disappointment from my summer garden. I will start planting some seeds tomorrow. Thank you for your advice. 😃😃😃😃

Definitely planting a fall garden and very excited about it! ❤️

Excellent presentation and simply amazing

You’re enticing me to plant a fall garden. I get too busy with preserving the summer garden harvest, that I just don’t garden; but I always think I should. Thank you

Your garden looks beautiful Brian. Thumbs up❣️

I would love to see you do an entire garden tour. Discuss varieties, why you grow it, etc.

Great info as usual thank you! I've just started seeds to transplant and also doing a direct sow for a Fall garden. I'm planting all the cooler weather crops but also zucchini cucumbers and tomatoes. I have several tomato varieties that are supposed to do well in cooler weather. Im in So Cal so hopefully I'll have a good harvest!

Thanks Brian! Just sowed some cucumbers. I’m still enjoying my summer garden. Looking forward to your videos and hoping I’m still excited to keep gardening in the fall.

Thanks for the inspiration. This is the year I'm going to do the fall gardening.

Thanks for this, Brian! It's enough to motivate me -- drained of enthusiasm by back-to-back heat waves. These seem doable so I'm ready. AND I loved the montage at the end. Have seen you labor, struggle, and persevere through some real challenges and the place looks great...amazing even. Liked the lush, leisurely overview. Taking notes and looking forward....

This was great! Thank you.

I love fall gardens.

Thanks Brian 🌸💚🙃

I love your garden

I'm in Montana and our first frost date is Sept 1st (we have only 90 frost free days) but the good news is we usually have a good month of great weather after that first frost. We watch the weather like a hawk and can cover tender veggies if it's just a night or two of frost. I might try a zucchini in a grow bag now and see if I can get a few little ones for my friend who loves it with tomatoes. I can throw the bag into the greenhouse if it gets too cold. This is my first year with a greenhouse, grow bags, and a grow light seedling system (Though I've been gardening for 45 years). I'm having so much fun! I love your videos...I'm a SoCal girl born and raised, but married a Montanan, so here I am. It's definitely a challenge with our cold and dry winds...

Thanks, I have a mostly empty bed and this gave me a few ideas of what to try.

I have been so discouraged by my gardening efforts this year. Thanks for the pep talk!

I am thinking of a fall garden, but I am already going everything that you mentioned! Thanks Brian!

I live in southern California and my gosh I'm so tired of all the summer problems from heat to pests. I plan to start a fall garden so I'm very happy to see this video. Thank you for the encouragement and crop ideas.

Got the yellow squash, cukes, melons in and are thriving in this triple digit heat. Also got the winter squash planted and they are just popping up. Pumpkin tomorrow. Glad to know about the Dill. It is not available at the nurseries at this time of year so I'll start some. It is on my list of companion plants now thanks to your awesome book! Many thanks!

Thanks for the encouragement, Brian. I'm planting squash asap.

Thank you. I feel like my green thumb never sprouted but you’re giving me hope. I’m blaming 100°+ temps but know others around here have wonderful gardens growing. Maybe fall gardening will give me that boost to finally have more than a small handful of produce to harvest. I look forward to seeing your next video.

We are starting to see productivity from our spring garden that got delayed by the early heat. Our beds are still full of those crops so we are waiting on our fall root vegetables but we have started germinating our other fall vegetables in our little indoor grow tower. Hubs wanted to pull the spring crops but I told him to wait and now like I said we are seeing productivity. It may have taken me 90 days to grow radishes, lol, but hey I didn't give up and now I'll have radishes coming out my ears.

Zone 9b here. I've been secession planting all along. 2nd crop of potatoes are growing and i pulled clippings from sweet potatoes when I trimmed my current crop also propagated my favorite tomato plants.

My summer garden is still going pretty strong, even with the heat and drought here in Texas. I have tomato starts planted already for my fall garden, second round of blackeyed peas and okra just about ready to start blooming, planted those after I harvested all of my sweet corn. Cant wait for full on fall gardening when it isnt so blasted hot.

Yes. I am.planning on a fall garden.

This was my 1st year for this garden. I was so excited. I started seeds(for the 1st time) and was getting good results. I was set to harvest. Went out to pick and they were all gone. Someone came in and picked all they could reach. I planted on a trellis and I needed to use a ladder to finish picking the. The bug got my zucchini 🥵 I replanted but not 1 came up. And again and nothing! I have always had a great garden in Indiana, but still learning Texas. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Yes I would love to fall gardening.

Planting seeds for my fall garden this weekend. Putting the rest of my summer crops in the ground this weekend as well.

Great video! Thanks for the update on what plants to put in. I’m getting my garden ready for fall planting as well as some more summer veggies. Can’t wait for Xmas-getting 2 cattle panels so I can truly trellis veggies.

My second wave of tomatoes, summer squash, chiles, and eggplant are in, my second wave of sunflowers and calendula are sown, my napa and red cabbages are sprouting, daikons, beets, turnips, and bush beans planted.

Hi from Southwest TN. Thanks

Very good Brian! I’m going to plant beans for sure💚

That's awesome! Thanks Brian! I moved and didn't have a garden at all. Right now we are all sick so maybe in a couple of weeks will feel better and ready to plant.🤗❤🤗

So helpful. Already planned to plant my bush beans tonight, but made a list while you were talking. Thanks for naming varieties on the tomatoes. Have a good week. I'll have a busy one thanks to you, ha ha, after all the ideas you gave. I'm a mustard, turnip, kale type of person... never had swiss chard but if I can find the seeds, I'll give it a try. It's still upper 90's to 100 degrees here in east texas, but will have plenty of time before our first frost date.

Perfect timing on the video. I am going to plant beans and cucumbers this weekend. I want to do some no dig peas also. I have to retry potatoes too. I'm pushing the time limits in zone 4, but I'm going to get a cover/lid built for one bed, at least.

Had a great spring harvest (9b), but now I am so over the bugs. Had to pull all cucumber, zucchini & cantaloupe. Yes, I have companion plants, but the heat, humidity & bugs just destroyed the plants. Can't wait to do my fall garden & have some success again.

Thanks! I had no idea I have over 100 days until my first estimate frost.

thank you Brian! xo from Sonoma

Yes i am researching with you now! I am in California, just got my vegepod

Thank you! I am going to try fall gardening. I was so depressed from the squash bugs, vine borders (I had both!), catepillars, And the heat.

I love your voice and mannerisms that go with all the great info. Thanks!

oh my goodness, what a rich beautiful garden panorama at the end!

Definitely feeling defeated by cali heat baking my summer crops.. im glad you said these fall crops will be easier to tend! Now im excited again lol

I too prefer the fall garden. Summer in Louisiana gets too hot and my plants suffer even with consistent watering. I recently started cucumbers, squash and a second round of cherry tomatoes and a 2nd round of bush beans. Thank you for the tips.

yes im going to do a fall garden

Never weary, already planting for fall. I'm in the SE and fall gardening is the best. I also built myself a small greenhouse and I keep tomatoes and peppers (and other things) growing all year.

Abso-sweetly weary of this heat and weeds!! Planning my fall garden now!! Love your channel!!

This is my first time growing anything. I had cucumbers, butter nut squash, butter stick squash , pumpkin and cantaloupe on a trellis. Tomatoes and water Mellon. Now only have Tomatoes water Mellon and squash. Oh and sweet potatoes.

ALWAYS ALWAYS learn from you!!!

Thanks so much for your video, especially the part about tomatoes!
