Thank you! Very helpful! I was so late starting everything this year. People down south are harvesting while my baby plants (NJ, zone 7A (not exit 7A!)) are an inch high, so it is good to hear I can keep dropping seeds. I actually started some sort of yellow tomato seeds a few days ago and they sprouted REALLY quickly - excitement!!
@@freakinfrugal5268 aaaaayyeee exit 7 ain't so bad. Not for gardening anyhow.
I live in a small town in the heartland and our lovely library gives away seeds all year long. Remember those old dresser type things that librarians used to keep Dewey book cards in? Our library keeps seed packets stocked in those instead.
One tends to lose one’s mind when consumed by the prospects of the garden...
Edit: why did my reply show up on the wrong comment
when you cut the heart out of that beautiful watermelon, I thought of my parents. When my father cut into a watermelon he would always give my mom the heart before slicing it for us kids :)
This video really gave me the confidence to plant those squash, bean, and sunflower seeds I have lying around thinking it was already too late! Thanks!
Hey Allie, hope you’re doing great! I heard a saying a while back that had stuck with me, and if I recall correctly it was Jess over at roots and refuge here on YT.. she said something like a seed cannot grow sitting in the packet! When she said that I laughed then it hit me.. wait that’s me!! So throughout the season (within growing reason) I will plant seeds all over in spaces where there’s nothing, even a zucchini 😆 it can always be raised up to grow!! Take care!🌻
They say gourds (and squashes) need to be planted by June bc they need 120 days to produce. Well...5 years ago, I planted some bushel gourds August 5th and had almost full-sized gourds by October. This summer I planted everything late. Planted summer squash seed June 5th and they're just starting to bloom. I haven't had ANY trouble with squash bugs at ALL this year and I wonder if that's why? In the past, I'm fighting them all spring.Here in NWArkansas we have very warm weather through October though it is cooling down at night and the days are shorter. But I think anything that needs 4 months or less, start it in July. You might be surprised!
That old dresser like thing at the library is called a card catalog. Great use for it.
RareSeeds lists all 10+1 plants in the comments below. Don't just read the list. You MUST watch the tips explaining why to grow each plant or you are missing out on huge value. I'm glad I watched the video and didn't leave after reading the comment. Thanks for the useful tips.

I think Shannie meant for cauliflower to be started indoors and then planted outdoors in the fall once the heat breaks.
Farmers are the new rock stars.
Yup apparently the only fighters and rebels left in society are people who raise plants and animals

Thanks I feel so blessed to be in zone 9b what a joy it is to plant
How could anybody give a thumbs down to a video about planting crops and growing healthy foods?? Some people really need to re-evaluate their lives if they have a problem with this. Great video Shannie, keep them coming!! One question for "late planting", we are in zone 9a (SoCal) so our growing is pretty much year round. That being said, we do container crops on our patio, so would these crops you mention be good in 30 gallon "Rubbermaid tote" style containers?? Thanks!!
Yes, these are container planting friendly varieties, just be sure to keep them well watered!
@@sacredcowbbq1326 you tube has an automated system that thumbs down/up videos??? That's insane. (You tube is insane.)
My farmer friend cooks the sunflower head (after removing the seeds) just like an artichoke.
You are a hardworking and tasteful woman, paying tribute to you.
I'm in southeast Idaho. Planted my seedlings mid-May, after planting seeds first of April......all in my home/apartment. I just move my veggies on a cart, from morning sun then back to the late afternoon/evening sun. I'm growing zucchini, squash, 3 kinds of tomatoes, okra, ginger, garlic, sweet potatoes, lettuce, green spring onions, red onions, jalapeno peppers, and beets. All ky veggies are growing beautifully...all healthy. Got my first jalapeno peppers, already! I get excited when i see my babies produce my food! All done in containers, in my 1 bedroom apartment...no balcony or patio...lol.
That’s awesome. I’m in central Utah and it froze like the first week of June. We lost some plants. It’s supposed to get down to 34 tonight in the middle of June. Pretty crazy weather. That’s cool ya got a jalapeño. I’ve not had success yet with those. Did you leave your plants inside over night when you exposed them to the outdoors to make them more hardy?
That's pretty cool 👍 you could also get some full spectrum lights for starting them out
@@koltoncrane3099 ....my plants stay indoors. I just move them sunrise to sunset, front to back of my apartment. Less insects, or disease leaving them inside.
In Los Angels, I've had great luck with Swiss Chard. Even in 100+ heat & full sun. Given enough water, it takes quite a beating. One plant has lasted 3 years
Squash chard and beets are cousins. So I plant a lot of beets and pick some greens as well to cook like chard.
We've settled on SC as the green of choice since it matches our preference for soups and rice dishes. Didn't know it could survive for 3 years, but it's a tough plant. Here in Iowa we've harvested SC past Thanksgiving even after the frosts have kicked in. It eventually gives up the ghost, but not after a struggle.
@@jillhumphrys8073 what do you if you really don’t have a cool place to store red tators after they harvest. I just washed some of them and stored them in a plastic bag, they seem to be ok in the fridge.
@@siry5164 depends on how many you have. I blanched mine and put them in the frezer
@@jillhumphrys8073 blanch? Not sure what that process involves, but I will try to look it up and hoping there red tators will last a long time frozen. Bless you for the tip
This was the best video ever...I had no motivation to keep going with the dog days of summer upon us but now I am out to my seed box and get some more stuff in the ground! Thank you
Same here! Most crops are just about done. I ordered some Lemon Squash. Now after seeing this video I ordered the corn, Swiss Chard, and coriander seeds.
New to gardening will give this a try thank you for the great advice.
My husband has become a Baker seed fanatic. We used your seeds this year and we've had an amazing garden with many unusual varieties of everything.. Baker Creek is sooo wonderful!♡☆♡
I needed this video! I completely missed planting a garden this year after getting COVID & other family issues. I was feeling defeated, but you reminded me about short season crops, which I've never done before. There's actually lots of things I can still plant, even in Minnesota! Thanks!
I've heard great things about Baker Creek Seeds on Living Traditions Homestead, they have a very successful & productive garden using your seeds. 💜
Shannie, you do a wonderful, professional job!
@g g She's a country girl. Not some big city high maintenance fake floozy. To each his own there gg...gay guy? lol jk
The Chickens chasing butterflies in the part about Zinnias is too funny!
She works for a very cool gardening business! She has a lot of positive spunk! My garden is planted and we are getting a pretty good harvest. I found three small watermelons today out in my garden, they're Sugar baby bush. I am inspired to replant some beans for a fall harvest, I think our beans are done out there, so time to plant some fresh seeds! I am also going to plant some more sunflower seeds, I have a ton of them from last year. The deer ate a lot of my sunflowers, but some are left. My pumpkin patch looks pretty good. Lots of different types of gourds, too. The tomatoes plants are getting big and we are eating most of them raw right now. We are eating the cucumbers, too. The corn I grow is the decorative, colorful, "Indian" corn that I put into fall wreaths and make into centerpieces and hang them as threesomes for good luck all around the farm. I MIGHT grow some more zucchini. The deer ate up some of them, we got some zucchini, but if it's not too late, then I will! Thanks for the late July encouragement. Never give up, never give in, keep planting and harvesting, and good luck out there!
Thank you for your kind words! I love reading this garden update, woohoo for watermelon season!
I throw cilantro seeds around like a crazy person. I never have enough considering I put it in everything!
@@may-brittdigre1303 Cilantro is my catnip and I just am crazy for it too!
I hate cilantro. I am one of those people for whom cilantro tastes like soap. HOWEVER, coriander is another matter. I like coriander. We have a special cookie recipe that uses coriander and tastes wonderful.
i love this monthly theme of planting crops, my zone is 9.
I'm in NWArkansas and we are zone 7A/B. There a a few things that I cant grow will grow in mid to southern Arkansas, as well as zones 9 and 10. I'm jealous! 😍
Just found your CZcams account! Where have I been?!?! So excited to learn so much from you!
I just ran across this. Since this my first time planting I was happy that I planted all the things you suggested. The nicest surprise was how professional and clear your video is. Plus the nice music and your wholesome presentation was refreshing. So you got a brand new subbie!
This gives me so much hope as a beginner!
Today's seeds are so easy to germinate, seeds are tried and tested for optimal success and this makes your job easier. Know your weeds, and soil's ph, know your bugs good and bad, know your local wildlife (deer or rabbits). Also important, feed your plants organically as recommended, but only if they were organic seeds sown in organic soil. If your seeds and soil are not organic you'll need to use chemical fertilizer. Most new gardeners don't realize there's a big difference, but all seeds put forth plants that are genetically designed to withstand many diseases. These seeds are grown and fed a certain way that supports the genetic design, if fed and cultivated wrong it can really affect the health and harvest of your plants. Last, but not least water regularly and have fun!
I suggest you start by growing whatever type of peppers you like. When we use the peppers, we save the seeds on a paper towel until they dry. Soon, you will have more seeds than you can count! Also, grow eggplant 🍆. It's quick, easy and delicious. My ace in the whole is cherry tomatoes. They produce like crazy with the least encouragement. Have fun!
I'm SOOOO HAPPY you posted this! I was wondering what I should plant for my late July garden. And the best part...I have everything highlighted here! LOL!
Love it! Thanks Shannie for all you do❣❣
OMG I LOVE that Nellies is in the background!!! One of my favorite shows of all time. That was a very unexpected surprise when i opened your video.
Sharing to a Deaf Farmers group due to captions and awesome information visually.
I love growing cilantro in yogourt containers on my balcony. They grow so well and so easily.
Thank you, Shannie! You did a fantastic job of motivating me to get back to planting! Baker Creek rocks!
Watching again this year for a refresher!
This was so helpful! I'm going to plant some more zinnias, basil, cilantro, and watermelon. Great job, Shannie!
When I lived in Minnesota I found that of course the growing season was shorty than the zone 6 I grew up in and now live. But because of long daylight hours I found that the plants grow faster and somewhat make up for the short season.
Originally from Springfield Missouri and we live in southern Oklahoma on the border of Texas and it's so hot 🥵 allllll fall. So glad I found this video.
This morning I planted purple pole beans and cucumbers. The squash and watermelon are SO tempting. Great video. Thanks!!
This was so wonderful! I’ve been a passionate gardener for over 40 years, and yet this video gave me just the re-charge I needed to start a new set of seeds and plants for a late-season garden. I’ve got lots of your seeds that will work and ordered several of your top tens as well. Keep being awesome and thanks for all you do. 💚
This is such a great encouragement for the hottest part of the season, thank you!!
Thank you so much! This is such a great video. You've got me pumped up to fill in those empty spots in the garden.
Very useful & practical tips.
Your experience is obvious.
And no trace of boasting!
Thank you
🙏🌞❤️
Shannie, I loved this video!! I hope you do a lot more of these! I agree with another viewer below about a list. I had to pause the video to mark these in my catalogue. Other than that, it was wonderful!! Keep em' comin'!
thank you I was planting today and organizing my seeds thinking what else and you just answered my question! 😍
Have been buying and trying your seeds for several years and have been very pleased with your offerings. Thanks for this reminder, we are on it!
Love it. My favorite seed company right here. Thanks for all that you do!
I planted cilantro about 7 years ago, and ever after, I have more than I could ever use -- ditto for dill. thanks for an encouraging video
I throw my cilantro in a blender & put it in a flat ziplock and freeze it
Awesome. I was hoping I could squeeze a few of these in, and I can! Thanks!
Love your videos. Quick and to the point with personality. Thanks!
Excellent presentation! I learned so much and such a bounty of info. THANK YOU!
Thanks Shannie, great info! I’m starting seeds today and there were a few things you mentioned I hadn’t thought of. Love your videos, keep them coming.
Thanks for the information about a second planting of sweet corn - much appreciated!
Yup I'm trying the purple opal basil this year so it looks nice because it's purple. Thanks for it. Glad to know I should replant cucs. Was planning to put in some spaghetti squash.
Just loved your jumping along at the start, you seemed to sweet to be true, thank you for the thoughts great work.
Such perfect timing! It’s like you read my mind!! Order has been placed. Thank you! ❤️
I have absolutely loved this video. I have to try the bonus seed. I live in zone 9 Central Florida and I really wanted to provide some watermelons into fall and winter for my family. thank you so much.
Thank You so much, this was very enlightening as most of the plants you've listed is also on my list of crops I'll be planting in about 2weeks 🙏🏾
Thank you! I wasn't thinking of planting any more seeds, but now have so many ideas thanks to this great video! I had no idea I could plant cucumbers still, or more sunflowers. Or squash.
You’ve inspired me to do a little succession gardening this year! So happy CZcams suggested this video to me!
Wow, what a sweet, encouraging video. Just what I wanted to know. I's July 10 and I just pulled up my corn. Wanted to plant another go at it. Thanks for sharing. Friends from NW Florida.
you made my day, not just a day, a season.
Thank you.
Great video! Beautiful garden!! You are so knowledgeable and your background says it all!!! Thank you for sharing.🌻
Ahhhh yes I just planted my purple basil today and I can't wait the seeds alone smell amazing
You are so right about later planting’s having less pest burden especially cucumbers and squash in my zone 4! I also Plant cabbages late including kale and everything in the cruciferous Family...
Thank you for your wonderful seeds. I've bought some a few days ago and expecting them this week.
That was a great educational video as well as motivating. Now to get in the garden and plant some magic. Thank you!
I have taken notes. I figured knee high by the fourth of July on the corn or it's over. Guess not haha. Thank you for the informative video. I am going to give your recommendations a try. I could darn near taste that yellow fleshed watermelon when you tasted it. Thanks again for sharing your insight.
Made my great Grandma Goes pickles Yesterday. 80 year old recipe, she was 99 when she passed
I found this to be very informative. Easy to watch and great delivery. Will surely do some planting based upon the recommendations. Update to follow. Thank you!
Great tips for a fall garden. I’ve ordered your seeds the last few years. They are amazing. I’ve never had a problem, they always come up.
Just moved here to Missouri, close to the Ozarks! So glad I found this video! And yes in Late July! Perfect! Thanks so much!
Thank you! After a tropical storm and a lot of subsequent rain, my raised beds were a disaster...rotted squash and zucchini, dead tomatoes. I was wondering what to use to replant them, so this helps tremendously. I'm in Zone 9.
I’ve loved your company for years and years.
Very informative video and helpful information. I’ve been growing for years and I still learned a lot. Thank you!
Great video! I started my first garden this year and I have 9 different things growing! I love your knowledge!
I've been gardening (and studying horticulture) for 60+ years and learned something from the first few minutes of your video. So very informative! Thank you! I will subscribe and watch!
Love to plant cinnamon basil...love that scent. I bought 2 one year, and they smelled different in the garden by the tomatoes than the one planted else where....same variety.
Hello from Georgia. Shannie, thanks for giving us this info; I'm going to try some of these as all of my plants are in containers. Stay well
Thank you for naming this video something useful. I am new to gardening and the naming makes it easy for me to come back to the video when I am planning in future years. Blessings.
I started using your seeds for the first time this year. Quality products ❤️ Everything is doing great.
I love this presentation! No unnecessary chit chat just tons of excellent info given straightforward. Brilliant!
That's right folks Cilantro seeds are coriander! Thank you Shannie!
No, What is called Cilantro in the US is called coriander outside US borders. The plant, leaves and seeds are called coriander. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coriander
@@FoodwaysDistribution it's called cilantro in spanish speaking countries.
Can I just take a moment to talk about how mind-blowing this was for me?! I absolutely despise cilantro and its Everywhere across all ethnicities of foods. I've read the whole "some think it taste like soap" articles but they don't touch on the fact that I literally cannot eat it. To me, it tastes like Cilantro not soap, but even not knowing its in a dish, a piece of cilantro hits my tongue and I'm like a dog getting grass out of their mouth - completely an involuntary reaction. Ialso Hate coriander in anything. So, TIL I am a consistent soul in this case!
This is great! I never know what I can grow from
Month to month thank you!
You gardeners just don't get enough credit!( Purple basil is AMAZING also!) Love all you gardeners! OMG never stop doing what you do.
Thank you for this inspiring video. After watching it a few days ago, I've planted some sunflowers, Red Kuri Squash, and some Zinnias.
FANTASTIC INFO AS ALWAYS. I would love to see a video about non vining types of food plants. like determinants, dwarfs, bush and such.
Awesome! Can't wait to get our second wave started down here in San Diego!
I saw you on Doug and Stacy! Love all the information and gardening wisdom! Just started gardening and I love it!
I love Baker Creek Seeds and have bought a lot from them. I recommend this company heartily.
It feels good to keep rare seeds available.
On year we were building- I live in Maine. I threw in watermelon and covered it and had melons in November. It was a warm year- and I covered the whole patch. Harvested 37 melons. Oh- and i just made some hills with composted manure, covered the res of the garden with carboard and mulch. So easy.
My tomatoes are growing so well. Thank you for the recommendations of plants to grow
7b here. This was very helpful as I plan for my July/August window. Thank you!
Yay!!, you had me at Missouri Ozarks- I never see gardening videos for where I actually live!
What a lovely, surprising, informative video 😄 Liked & subbed!
Those dragon tongue beans are lovely. I just started getting them last week. They have a nice mild flavor and are so tender as will as being unusual and pretty. Kids walking past my garden always want to know what they are.
They definitely live up to their reputation here in Denver Colorado.
I just ran out and stuck some Kuri squash seeds in the ground.
I find your advice spot on for getting the word out to so many people.
I've been a customer of yours for a few years. Always great seeds and interesting freebies. Subscribed.
Garden Girl knows her stuff and is enjoyable to watch and listen to. Will be placing an order for seeds ❤️
Whaaaat? Beit Alpha doesn't need to be pollinated?! Awesome... I would love to see more of these videos! Thank you!
Thank you Nick!!!!. I'm running out the door and couldn't listen to this right now. I appreciate the list and you for posting it.
Sure is nice to see somebody really knows their stuff. Thank you
Thank you so much! I wasn't able to get in much this Spring. If you need me I'll be the crazy lady out tucking seeds in every little nook and cranny of her garden!
I’m in zone 10a. Planted Japanese type cucumbers from seed last week in June and have mature cukes as of 7/26!
You're totally adorable and I thank you for the enjoyable video! Blessings to you sister, Angela 🕎❤🙏🌽🌱
I just ordered my second batch if seeds from you guys. Can't wait to plant!!!
My Grandma was from Houston, Missouri. She could grow ANYTHING. She was born in 1916 and grew almost 100% of their food through the depression. She was an awesome woman that could take a small patch of ground and produce so much there was almost too much to eat. Shes been gone 30 years and I still miss her.
Continue teaching and living that legacy:)
Awesome!
She sounds amazing!
ChevyDude65 Thanks I remember those days and wondering if you know how long it takes for garlic or onion to start to grow seedlings 🌱 in the ground I think it taking too long maybe because I planted the veggies I bought from the store some Organic with organic soil. Anyone know please? So new at this and 💦 watering them daily God bless
Aww great memories! Hope you learned from her and are able to apply in your life; my opinion but, there are so many amazing skills and life lessons available from our older generations from which our youth of today would be fortunate to learn. Please pass forward what you can to those willing to gain knowledge!
