I used to not like turnips much either. My mother used to boil them with potatoes. HOWEVER, I started cubing them with onions and fry them in a skillet with a little oil or butter, like home fries, and they are delicious. Browning them like this really sweetens the flavor and cuts the bitterness. If you've never tried them like this, you should. It may change your mind. You can also roast them on a sheet pan, cubed again, with onions and a little oil. I've also added sweet potatoes and white potatoes. It's great.
Turnip adds a wonderful flavor to my chicken stock. When I remove the cooked vegetables from the stock, I smash them up with butter, salt and pepper and it's so good!
Mash them with bacon grease, put them in soups and stews. I pick before they get bitter. The way you do it sounds wonderful. I will have to try them that way. Never had a turnip I didn't like except the year I left them in the ground too long and they turned bitter and woody

Hi! First time watcher here😁 excited to find you. we bought 11 acres in Northwest Florida in January 2021. We have not been able to plant yet due to having to clean and clear damage from Hurricane Michael. Hundreds of trees down and stumps to grind. Each week we get closer to moving forward. We inherited 3 goats which turned into 6 in April. Also 3 chickens but we have bought 15 more. 😁 So much to learn. So much to enjoy. Looking forward to learning all y’all are teaching.
Growing in FLA is not like growing anywhere else in the us because we are tropical and sand. University of Fl has a seed planting guide for when to plant seed in Florida that is worth it's weight in gold.I highly recommend getting it from their web site.
We have a 4 season garden here, its pretty mild only snowing for a couple days every 4 years or so. With our 40 ft green house, IF I remember to get stuff in, then we have food all winter. The first year we had lettuce in there all winter. It even survived the freezing temps. Now to get stuff in the ground on time!!! Thank you for the reminder!
Freezing is really fabulous - I love doing it with tomatoes, too - and the true advantage to it is that I don't have to heat up the house in Summer and can spend the time in Winter then the stove is on anyway and the days are calmer!
I just discovered you two yesterday, and I have to say, it's quite refreshing to have someone knowledgeable talking about homesteading. Like your grandmother, my parents grew up during the Great Depression, and I've always had a big garden. In the past 10 years, I've discovered dehydrating with my Excalibur dehydrator, and this year plan on adding more fermented veggies to the mix. Thank you for the fermented ginger carrot video. I just pickled some carrots, but will ferment some in about 50 days when the next carrots are ready. One more thing to plant now, for me, is another row of red potatoes. I haven't bought potatoes in the store in years! I like to have some in late so they store well and I use them as seed potatoes. Thanks again, Debbie in New York state (far from any city)
Here in South Georgia red potatoes don’t do as well for me in the fall garden so instead I plant Yukon Golds for the fall garden and get a much larger harvest I find! Best wishes on the red ones!
@@feliciaalvarez9552what is the best way to get them to chit? I just bought some tiny potatoes (forgot name) at our local farm stand and thought I could use them for seed potatoes. I’m still waiting to see if I got any sweet potatoes to harvest. Leaves are still pretty green.
I love frozen rasp..... I grew up w rasperries(im 62)... I have 6 children and did 100 jars pickles...etc. Have dehydrated...canned and frozen for 40 some years....butchered... made cheese...never fermented though....Yum !
Thanks for all the amazing information. Y'all have such sweet spirits. FYI- One yard revolution on YT is in Illinois and harvests twelve months a year. He's a great resource if you're learning to grow under cover.
How funny! I literally just got Clyde’s planner in the mail yesterday with my Baker Creek fall order of seeds. This was perfect timing as I have just planted cabbage, sprouting broccoli, and cauliflower seedlings (started just a few weeks ago)in the garden today along with seeds of carrots, dragon bush beans, bok choy, radishes and Napa cabbage. Whew! It was like you were reading my list right back to me! 😂 I’m hoping to get some more lettuces, spinach, sugar peas and kale in the ground soon too. Looking forward to a “prayerfully” excellent harvest this fall and winter! Our first frost is about late October...maybe mid November if we’re lucky. I’m in the very northwest corner of Washington State ...zone 8A. Love your channel, and am enjoying canning, preserving and fermenting right along side of you! Thanks for all you share! Blessings for a major fall harvest this year in your new homestead!
Hands down best bug control I have ever used was Guinea fowl in the garden. Unlike chickens they don't eat your vegetables, but I had a double 50 ft row of bush beans and there was not one hole from a bean beetle in a single leaf. They would walk down on opposite sides of the row, even with each other and get any bugs on the beans as they went. They are not the smartest fowl in the barnyard, but they're great watch dogs, seasonal layers, and you won't have a tick or a beetle on your property. They won't eat squash beetles, but I don't think anything eats those. Love your videos, I don't say that about many CZcams videos. Yours are really well done, thank you.
Last week I planted cabbages, radishes, beets, and lettuces in my front flower garden. As my flowers die back I hope to have some pretty "foliage" in front of my bushes. This is the first time I've done this so I'm excited to see how it works.
I started sowing carrots and leaf lettuce about two weeks ago, romaine lettuce last week, more carrots, leaf lettuce and blue lake green beans ( bush ) this week. When the beans start to sprout I will sow more seeds. I am in the mid Atlantic area. First frost into November.
I’ve enjoyed just watching your beautiful scenery! Refreshing to watch nice people! I’m having surgery but getting ideas for next year. Love that little goose in one of your videos. You have a beautiful family! Take care.
My cucumbers and long beans are having a second wave of growth, I planted sweet potatoes back in the beginning of july, kale is doing great and oakra puts out a few at a time i love turnips and beets peppers tomatoes and a small table top of strawberry plants lots of herbs and just bought a few fruit trees in containers on drip systems chickens provide eggs and poultry
I'm an urban gardener, living in the city of New Bedford, Massachusetts and only have a small yard to plant in. The house I live in is for sale, so this year and last, I planted in 7 gallon clothe planters which I put inside milk crates that my neighborhood store gave me. This makes it easier to control the type of soil that I use and when I have to move, my garden will move with me. I found a company that makes cold frames for 4×4 gardens that I plan to use this fall and winter to grow my greens.
I had to do this for a couple years as well. Lots of things grow well in a decent sized container. I even took a small tree with me when I moved. Tomatoes, green peppers, salad greens, radishes, carrots…this year I am trying out a potato bag. Next year I plan to use a couple of larger cloth planters for my kitchen garden, because my sunny spots are at a premium, and in the winter, I need that space for plowed snow storage, so the beds will have to move in the fall. I am also looking for some inexpensive wheeled carts for small mobile beds to chase the sun (I live in a deciduous forest).
I'm in Western Montana and I just put some carnival sweet pepper seeds in a container. The peppers are smaller and develope pretty fast once they set, so I am pretty sure I will get some for adding to my canning and pickling this fall.
I’m a newbie, I have my first grow bags cherry tomatoes and potatoes, I feel really rewarding, the Good Lord has given us the best tomatoes ,,, now,, I have pumpkins growing by accident they grew from our fall front yard, there are about 4 separate plants and I don’t know what to do about pumpkins
You mentioned Bush Beans as a fall crop, the two varieties I recommend are Provider & Royal Burgundy because they do better with cool night temperatures in late summer as fall arrives. I'm in 6b and planting some fall crops while the tomatoes are coming in. I used to live in ID and east coast growing is a different experience with humid weather and more insect pressure.
Zone 8b, first frost is first week of November. This past week, we sowed spinach, cabbage, broccoli, and carrots. Sunday, hopeful to sow lettuce, turnips, mache, and beets. I let ALOT of my greens self sow - lettuce, parsley, chard, kales, arugula, to name a few.
Thank you for all the great advice! I was so happy when you said,” the kids garden”!! That’s so awesome!! Me and my grandkiddos always grow our gardens, they pick out whatever they’d love to grow on a row, last year, specialty carrots!! They have oranges, purples, reds, yellows!! They loved it! Plus their favorite veggie!! Kids always should learn to know this!!
We adopted our son from Russia 30 years ago, right after the fall of the USSR. He was 5. His orphanage (ages 1-5) was excited that they were finally ALLOWED TO GROW THINGS! The USSR didn't allow individual gardens. At 5 Vinnie was great at pulling the right plants-weeds. Children can learn younger and faster than you think they can.
Cutie Elizabeth! Thanks y'all. Love your videos! Always helpful and full of info! Thanks Josh for the computer skills with the canning class. I am thru the waterbath section and have stockpiled mason jars, lol. and thank you Carolyn for your most ecxellent teachings. I just love you guys! Peace, joy and much gratitude to you both and your family!
Elizabeth is so cute! Great timing for this video. I have never done a Fall garden before. I did try to grow garlic last year but it was a flop. I am going to keep trying to I get it to grow til I figured it out.
Thank you and please talk more about long term fermenting. I would like to store my fermented food longer. This method works great. But so many are talking more in terms of a few days or weeks. I want to use this method much longer like several months.
Love this, you've given me a few ideas to add to my garden! In the last 2 weeks I've planted carrots, broccoli, cabbage, radishes, lettuce, and cilantro. I'm also thinking about adding turnips, swiss chard, and maybe kohlrabi this week!
I just love you guys! Just about every video you guys start out saying, “welcome to pantry chat 21..?.” Never remembering which one were on. 😂 I personally think it’s so funny because I can’t remember nothing! It’s nice to see I’m not the only one. You guys are great and I can’t wait to watch all your videos. Working on them all. And I just love every single video you guys put out. You always hit a certain something that I may know, however I may not know “why”. You guys give so much knowledge, I appreciate you guys. Stay grateful, thankful, and blessed xoxo
My first frost date is November 30th so I get to grow lots of stuff. I’ve been able to plant heat loving plants (because it’s HOT and humid here in the south). I’m planting cowpeas, pole beans (I’m trying yard long beans this fall), and in October I start onions from seed. I plant my garlic in November. I usually try to get my brassicas to grow in the fall because they bolt very quickly for me in the spring. I’m also trying to get more out of my extended growing season for determinate tomatoes. I started this seeds early July and only planted quick producing varieties. My next round of succession planting of pole beans go in next week. Rattlesnake beans are on the menu along with Lima beans (bush) and I often have to plant in partial shade for my plants to survive or even germinate. It works though! Winter squash is also getting planting here in July as well as another round of sweet corn. Whew. I’m tired. 😂
Just wanted to thank you for all your really informative videos. I just got into homesteading this year, and all of your videos have been super helpful, thank you again and god bless.
I have never done a fall garden..this year will be my first..so thanks for both for all the list and great tips..loved the little visitor..she is a little cutie..Hello Elizabeth :)
It is my first year trying a fall garden too. I've always just bought a few tomato plants in the spring and a few other things and just let them do their thing and that was the extent of my gardening. This year I'm trying to be more proactive in the garden and trying new things too. I think for my fall garden itll mainly just be greens, radishes, and beans. But I'm going to try replanting potatoes and carrots and see if they can produce before winter.
Im in zone 9a inland Southern California. We have 316 growing days with our first frost around December 1st and last around February 28. July and August are too hot for most things to start. (120°F) We’re trying so many different growing methods this year. Traditional in ground growing, raised beds, hydroponics, aquaponics, a hybrid of the two in an above ground pool with fish and also wicking beds. Our orchard goes in this fall.
Hello, Loved, loved, loved the chat, E is adorable. I miss that as mine are grown. I have been winter gardening without a greenhouse here on Whidbey island, central island, for almost 10 years. Lots of trial and error and experimenting. I use a frost blanket to cover my food when the temps dip low and it has been quite successful. My go to for information is from Charles Dowdy WINTER VEGETABLES and West Coast Seeds in BC has a great booklet they offer on Winter Gardening. I plant winter hardy seeds with varying harvest dates to extend the harvest. Our winds can be quite wild and change direction from coming from the south to coming from the north...which can be challenging. I also deal with the short tailed field mouse, vole, who thinks I am planting for him. So I generally put out a trap line in and around my winter garden. My other critter challenge are the crowned sparrow which have a sweet song, but wreck havoc on the greens. They seem to be increasing in number and love the garden. So covering with a nett or something like it is a must...especially early on when they are first coming up. (My husband pulled a trampoline net out of a dumpster and it works great. I plant my brassicas as starts under lights, no heat, in July and then plant out in August. Then I have to shade them for the remainder of the month and into September otherwise they will bolt. (Another brassica to plant is kohlrabi...great stir fried or slawed. And is fast growing) I plant all you mentioned and I also do a dense planting of beets for their greens only to stir fry or add to soups. I loved your chat because it's nice to hear what others are doing and for your sharing this information that others may not know. Much of my acquaintances and some family think I am crazy and that it is too much work. But I love the challenge, it gets me outside and we are healthier for it. Blessings.
I miss raspberries! I am zone 9a, I think it would be helpful if you said what zone you are in as well. Yes, ask your neighbors! That is great advice. I too, live in amicroclimate.
I fermented a lot last year, inspired by your videos. So much of it left. Going to can tomatoes this year as I still have fermented salsa left. Now you have me talked into fermenting carrots!!
Oh I have not gone huckleberries since I was a teenager. We used to go up on the mountain and pick them. Oh I remember sneaking into the freezer and grabbing a few.
I first started watching your videos last Sept. when we bought our small Homestead. I had all these big plans to get it working as soon as possible. Planted lots of seedlings and couldn't wait for the frost date to come and go. Tried to get chickens but the pickups kept falling through. None of the veggies came up and our beautiful garden now has 10ft tall weeds growing in and amongst the raised beds. I cant get to the back of the coop right now for the weeds! When you said you should take time to get settles in, unpack, and get to know your land I suddenly stopped feeling like I failed! Thank you so much! We have some elevated beds for Mom to.plant and yesterday I put in carrots, chard and radishes. Thanks for the advice, you all rock! I'm in zone 7-8, upstate, SC.
And the baby ccollard shoots and the roots have the most nutrients and great herbal medicinal properties and of course have to be used is small amounts.they just grow wild and everywhere here in Alabama
Hi from wet SCOTLAND i watch a few of USA homesteaders i call it crofting our places are tiny compared to yours but next year i go of grid so studying you all xx
Lovely, informative podcast! Love to know how to keep perennial herbs such as basil, rosemary, and thyme coming back yearly! You mentioned composting, can you touch upon that a little more in your future podcasts? I grow these herbs yearly in pots. I have to buy it every year. It dies and don’t come back. I try bringing it indoor one winter and still it did not survive. Buying from the farmer markets ready planted seedlings becomes very expensive. I tried developing from seeds, no success. In addition, I have a tough time keeping thyme alive. They keep dying. I put in sunny shaded area and still not much luck! I keep having to buy more. I live in New York, next to the Big Apple - Manhattan! I am very hands-on baking breads, making homemade pestos, nut butters, granola, growing herbs, tomatoes, beans, and fig trees, as much as I can. Thanks for sharing your wonderful growing tips!
Thyme and rosemary can take a month to sprout from seed. Basil is an annual so unless you're growing holy basil or have a magic thumb it doesn't live long even in gentle climate rare-to-frost-four-seasons growing areas. However, it is easy to grow your own basil seed. I can't help you with rosemary or English thyme -they are effortless perennials on the Pacific coast (at least from Mendocino County (and probably as far north as coastal BC if you are anywhere near a "banana belt") to the Mexican border.
In case it went I in one way and out the other, she hit the nail on the head when she said that if the soil is healthy there won't be a pest problem. That also solves the weed problem. No need for weed killers and fertilizers etc. If the soil is healthy!
In Galicia, in Northern Spain, they make a vegetable soup with potaoes, onions and such in it that includes the leaves of turnips and is very good. There they call the leaves of turnips grellos.

Don't forget if you have green onions growing, cut the bottom off--about half to 3/4 inch and stick it back in the ground. It will continue to grow. If you buy store bought green onions with a little bit of root you can do the same thing. If you forget about them and it snows, unless the freeze is deep, you can dig up the bulb pretty late in the year. I'm in PA
I’m at 6,500 ft in colorado and i grow something year round! I do have covers and sometimes i double cover for a few extra degrees of protection. But i had bok choy last year that did great even in the below zero temps! I just put in more lettuce, and chard and carrots. I’m starting cabbages to take the space of the peppers and tomatoes when they come out around the beginning of october. I agree - seeds are cheap! Just try and see what happens! You guys are great! Thank you for all that you share!
We only moved onto our new garden patch in South of France in June; so have been looking to grow late! It is now early September and I planted loads of stuff you have mentioned by July/August. I use hens for fertility moving the dome around on the beds - I have five beds of permaculture - with the chooks still on bed six - having fun and a bit of hard work lots of roots in the new beds! I have tried not to dig too much though. I did not know what mesclun was, but planted it as saw in the shop so glad you mentioned this. Ready to plant some onions peas and beans soon. I am the only one around here who is planting anything!! They are saying it's the end of the season; just tomatoes and peppers grown mainly - no greens!! I also have lots of Chinese leaf. The lettuce never took off though! I did get some courgettes but a bit late for them. Rocket has been doing well and radish.
Make a soup with bacon, butter, chicken stock, onions, celery, kidney beans, potato flakes or refried beans to thicken, lovage (cut up) and turnips...nutritious and delicious.
Perfect timing on your video…we are going to try some of this on our new homestead property. Love your guys’ channel and what you’re doing there!!! Take care :)
Northeast AZ - First Frost Oct 15 - Planting everything this week. Microclimate behind my apartment. I hatched chicks this Spring instead of planting a Garden. Now that the chicks are fully integrated into the established flock, I am dividing the yard, containing the chickens away from the garden area, and hoping I get something. Container garden in case I move.
You mentioned nurturing your soil a couple of times. Can you give specifics on this topic sometime? How to know when I have the proper mix of needed nutrients
I bought test strips from the feed store to test my soil and I just look up the right PH for the crops I’m growing and amend accordingly! I use my chicken flooring mixed with soil to mulch too.
@@strawberryme08 You can look online to find ideas. If it is a bit too acid, you can grow berries of all kinds and potatoes quite well. You can add agricultural lime to neutralize the pH somewhat. Adding compost of almost any kind will help with acid or alkaline soil. If soil is too alkaline you can add peat moss, or ground up dead leaves.
they are easy to do, you can buy stuff to thicken the juice w the peaches if you want, clear gel n I may get this wrong unless go look at bag, thermogro, they both thicken n you can do it when cooking the peaches n add in or just use sugar.
I used to not like turnips much either. My mother used to boil them with potatoes. HOWEVER, I started cubing them with onions and fry them in a skillet with a little oil or butter, like home fries, and they are delicious. Browning them like this really sweetens the flavor and cuts the bitterness. If you've never tried them like this, you should. It may change your mind. You can also roast them on a sheet pan, cubed again, with onions and a little oil. I've also added sweet potatoes and white potatoes. It's great.
Turnip adds a wonderful flavor to my chicken stock. When I remove the cooked vegetables from the stock, I smash them up with butter, salt and pepper and it's so good!
They also make nice veggie noodles, especially for Asian inspired dishes.
Mash them with bacon grease, put them in soups and stews. I pick before they get bitter. The way you do it sounds wonderful. I will have to try them that way. Never had a turnip I didn't like except the year I left them in the ground too long and they turned bitter and woody
My husband hates them. I will try you way. He like French fries. Thanks.
Put a bit of vinegar and butter in when you mash them. Takes the bitterness away tastes better

if you build a cellar don't dig...
build top ground to get the
underground coolness...build cellar then bury, create a hill
Welcome to the panhandle ❤️ Praying we don’t have another storm like Michael ever again 🙏😊
Great suggestion Edie!
For brasscia family we sprinkle used dry coffee grounds on plants as they grow this deters the white cabbage moth
Need to remember that! Thanks for the tip.
Wow! Definitely gonna try this
Thanks! Great advice.
I have to try that! This is my first year brassica “farming” and I have had so many issues with moths.
Hi K A
I’m watching this long after you made your comment! How close to the brassica plants do you sprinkle the coffee grounds please?

After butchering meat do you boil it first before canning? Please
Can you explain how to can please.
My mother always freezes her berries and makes her jam in the winter. She doesn't have time in the summer either.
It is hot project to do in the summer.
I do also and it is cooler.
my mom used to do that too......
Yes, I would like to see a pantry chat on perennials for the garden.
Yes, I would like to see more on perennials.....it is nice when plants keep hanging around and you do not have to keep buying everything

This makes it easier to control the type of soil that I use and when I have to move, my garden will move with me.
I found a company that makes cold frames for 4×4 gardens that I plan to use this fall and winter to grow my greens.
They have a video on small spaces gardening
I had to do this for a couple years as well. Lots of things grow well in a decent sized container. I even took a small tree with me when I moved. Tomatoes, green peppers, salad greens, radishes, carrots…this year I am trying out a potato bag. Next year I plan to use a couple of larger cloth planters for my kitchen garden, because my sunny spots are at a premium, and in the winter, I need that space for plowed snow storage, so the beds will have to move in the fall. I am also looking for some inexpensive wheeled carts for small mobile beds to chase the sun (I live in a deciduous forest).
You’re still learning and growing! Smart 😊
Good to know I have enjoyed what I seen🦋 and🦋 heard so far.

That sound's wonderful I can see it in my mind kind of but it's better to see picture's.
I'm in Western Montana and I just put some carnival sweet pepper seeds in a container. The peppers are smaller and develope pretty fast once they set, so I am pretty sure I will get some for adding to my canning and pickling this fall.
Love the guest appearance by Elizabeth! 🙂 Blessings to you and your homestead!
I’m a newbie, I have my first grow bags cherry tomatoes and potatoes, I feel really rewarding, the Good Lord has given us the best tomatoes ,,, now,, I have pumpkins growing by accident they grew from our fall front yard, there are about 4 separate plants and I don’t know what to do about pumpkins
You mentioned Bush Beans as a fall crop, the two varieties I recommend are Provider & Royal Burgundy because they do better with cool night temperatures in late summer as fall arrives. I'm in 6b and planting some fall crops while the tomatoes are coming in. I used to live in ID and east coast growing is a different experience with humid weather and more insect pressure.
Which crops grew best in idaho?

Collards
Privider is a great bean!
thanks!
Thank you two for the information and a special thanks to the young one who came in and quietly entertained us with her expressions. :D
Love to see how Carolyn's kitchen garden is doing; what worked,what didn't in the next few weeks.
Zone 8b, first frost is first week of November. This past week, we sowed spinach, cabbage, broccoli, and carrots. Sunday, hopeful to sow lettuce, turnips, mache, and beets. I let ALOT of my greens self sow - lettuce, parsley, chard, kales, arugula, to name a few.
I would love a pantry chat about your watering system! :)
So glad I found you! Brand new gardener here and I was trying to figure out what to plant for the fall! Super informative!
You can always look at your state seeding charts!
Also the Farmer’s Almanac!
I was just wondering myself if it was too late, these 104 highs will sure be a challenge though!
I needed this video badly. Thank you so much. I just finished my raised beds. though I was going to have to wait for spring. I'm so happy.
The list of plants starts at right about 20 minutes.
Bless you
THANK you!
Thank you
Thank you
Thank you so much!! ♡♡♡
Thank you for all the great advice! I was so happy when you said,” the kids garden”!! That’s so awesome!! Me and my grandkiddos always grow our gardens, they pick out whatever they’d love to grow on a row, last year, specialty carrots!! They have oranges, purples, reds, yellows!! They loved it! Plus their favorite veggie!! Kids always should learn to know this!!
That’s awesome because my mama and my grandma had us in the garden teaching me, my sister and cousins! I’m glad I can grow my own food!
We adopted our son from Russia 30 years ago, right after the fall of the USSR. He was 5. His orphanage (ages 1-5) was excited that they were finally ALLOWED TO GROW THINGS! The USSR didn't allow individual gardens. At 5 Vinnie was great at pulling the right plants-weeds. Children can learn younger and faster than you think they can.
Cutie Elizabeth! Thanks y'all. Love your videos! Always helpful and full of info! Thanks Josh for the computer skills with the canning class. I am thru the waterbath section and have stockpiled mason jars, lol. and thank you Carolyn for your most ecxellent teachings. I just love you guys! Peace, joy and much gratitude to you both and your family!
Elizabeth is so cute! Great timing for this video. I have never done a Fall garden before. I did try to grow garlic last year but it was a flop. I am going to keep trying to I get it to grow til I figured it out.
Thank you and please talk more about long term fermenting. I would like to store my fermented food longer. This method works great. But so many are talking more in terms of a few days or weeks. I want to use this method much longer like several months.
kimchi lasts for months -- ignore what people say about six weeks
I would love to see your freezers and storage areas, if possible. TY so much, lovely channel.
Why do people want to look in other people's homes?
Love this, you've given me a few ideas to add to my garden! In the last 2 weeks I've planted carrots, broccoli, cabbage, radishes, lettuce, and cilantro. I'm also thinking about adding turnips, swiss chard, and maybe kohlrabi this week!
I just love you guys! Just about every video you guys start out saying, “welcome to pantry chat 21..?.” Never remembering which one were on. 😂 I personally think it’s so funny because I can’t remember nothing! It’s nice to see I’m not the only one. You guys are great and I can’t wait to watch all your videos. Working on them all. And I just love every single video you guys put out. You always hit a certain something that I may know, however I may not know “why”. You guys give so much knowledge, I appreciate you guys. Stay grateful, thankful, and blessed xoxo
My first frost date is November 30th so I get to grow lots of stuff. I’ve been able to plant heat loving plants (because it’s HOT and humid here in the south). I’m planting cowpeas, pole beans (I’m trying yard long beans this fall), and in October I start onions from seed. I plant my garlic in November. I usually try to get my brassicas to grow in the fall because they bolt very quickly for me in the spring. I’m also trying to get more out of my extended growing season for determinate tomatoes. I started this seeds early July and only planted quick producing varieties. My next round of succession planting of pole beans go in next week. Rattlesnake beans are on the menu along with Lima beans (bush) and I often have to plant in partial shade for my plants to survive or even germinate. It works though! Winter squash is also getting planting here in July as well as another round of sweet corn. Whew. I’m tired. 😂
Just wanted to thank you for all your really informative videos. I just got into homesteading this year, and all of your videos have been super helpful, thank you again and god bless.
I have never done a fall garden..this year will be my first..so thanks for both for all the list and great tips..loved the little visitor..she is a little cutie..Hello Elizabeth :)
It is my first year trying a fall garden too. I've always just bought a few tomato plants in the spring and a few other things and just let them do their thing and that was the extent of my gardening.
This year I'm trying to be more proactive in the garden and trying new things too. I think for my fall garden itll mainly just be greens, radishes, and beans. But I'm going to try replanting potatoes and carrots and see if they can produce before winter.
Glad to have watched this now in 2020. I am going to try this this year. Thank you for shayour knowledge.
Im in zone 9a inland Southern California. We have 316 growing days with our first frost around December 1st and last around February 28. July and August are too hot for most things to start. (120°F) We’re trying so many different growing methods this year. Traditional in ground growing, raised beds, hydroponics, aquaponics, a hybrid of the two in an above ground pool with fish and also wicking beds. Our orchard goes in this fall.
Photos are such a keepsake because you can never get those moments back. ❤ I have lost 😡 some of my favorite pictures it was devastating!!!
Skip to 19:55 if you just want the list of fall vegetables.

Welcome! :)

Hello, Loved, loved, loved the chat, E is adorable. I miss that as mine are grown. I have been winter gardening without a greenhouse here on Whidbey island, central island, for almost 10 years. Lots of trial and error and experimenting. I use a frost blanket to cover my food when the temps dip low and it has been quite successful. My go to for information is from Charles Dowdy WINTER VEGETABLES and West Coast Seeds in BC has a great booklet they offer on Winter Gardening. I plant winter hardy seeds with varying harvest dates to extend the harvest. Our winds can be quite wild and change direction from coming from the south to coming from the north...which can be challenging. I also deal with the short tailed field mouse, vole, who thinks I am planting for him. So I generally put out a trap line in and around my winter garden. My other critter challenge are the crowned sparrow which have a sweet song, but wreck havoc on the greens. They seem to be increasing in number and love the garden. So covering with a nett or something like it is a must...especially early on when they are first coming up. (My husband pulled a trampoline net out of a dumpster and it works great. I plant my brassicas as starts under lights, no heat, in July and then plant out in August. Then I have to shade them for the remainder of the month and into September otherwise they will bolt. (Another brassica to plant is kohlrabi...great stir fried or slawed. And is fast growing) I plant all you mentioned and I also do a dense planting of beets for their greens only to stir fry or add to soups. I loved your chat because it's nice to hear what others are doing and for your sharing this information that others may not know. Much of my acquaintances and some family think I am crazy and that it is too much work. But I love the challenge, it gets me outside and we are healthier for it. Blessings.
Meg McGinnis
Keep up the great work you are doing, it will keep you healthy indeed and happy too. Gardening is also a great family activity.
I love Charles Dowding! His No Dig methods make more gardening possible for seniors especially!
Elizabeth is too stinkin cute 😀. I love all the information y’all give us. How many acres do y’all have?
Do you have the recipe for your "Raspberry Jam-Zinger" that you mentioned?
I’d love the recipe too!
Me three
I LOVE EVERYTHING RASPBERRY & WOULD LOVE TO HAVE YOUR RECIPES!?! 🙏🛐🙏💖🤗🌼🌈✨✝️🕊️✨
I miss raspberries! I am zone 9a, I think it would be helpful if you said what zone you are in as well. Yes, ask your neighbors! That is great advice. I too, live in amicroclimate.
In another video they said northern Idaho. Way cooler than 9a. FYI.
This weekend we are putting in a new garden bed, then starting our fall planting! Lots of leafy greens and root vegetables!
I fermented a lot last year, inspired by your videos. So much of it left. Going to can tomatoes this year as I still have fermented salsa left. Now you have me talked into fermenting carrots!!
Wonderful!
Wonderful to hear your kids have their own garden!!!🎉
Oh I have not gone huckleberries since I was a teenager. We used to go up on the mountain and pick them. Oh I remember sneaking into the freezer and grabbing a few.
What a nice couple. Esp. her husband. Very good man. Wonderful family.
I first started watching your videos last Sept. when we bought our small Homestead. I had all these big plans to get it working as soon as possible. Planted lots of seedlings and couldn't wait for the frost date to come and go. Tried to get chickens but the pickups kept falling through. None of the veggies came up and our beautiful garden now has 10ft tall weeds growing in and amongst the raised beds. I cant get to the back of the coop right now for the weeds! When you said you should take time to get settles in, unpack, and get to know your land I suddenly stopped feeling like I failed! Thank you so much! We have some elevated beds for Mom to.plant and yesterday I put in carrots, chard and radishes. Thanks for the advice, you all rock! I'm in zone 7-8, upstate, SC.
I planted a second round of pickling cukes and zucchini a few weeks ago. Also planted carrots. I am zone 5a in northern MA.
New subscriber & gardener.last year my 1st garden was a big flop so I thought I'd give fall planting a shot this year.thanks for all the gr8 info
What about collards? They’re our favorites! They grow for us, in Georgia, all through winter. It gets sweeter after a freeze. ❤️
And the baby ccollard shoots and the roots have the most nutrients and great herbal medicinal properties and of course have to be used is small amounts.they just grow wild and everywhere here in Alabama
Yes. I grow collards all winter in fl

I discovered pickled turnips and fell in love!!
What a well behaved contented child! She's beautiful and a credit to you
Hi from wet SCOTLAND i watch a few of USA homesteaders i call it crofting our places are tiny compared to yours but next year i go of grid so studying you all xx
Lovely, informative podcast! Love to know how to keep perennial herbs such as basil, rosemary, and thyme coming back yearly! You mentioned composting, can you touch upon that a little more in your future podcasts?
I grow these herbs yearly in pots. I have to buy it every year. It dies and don’t come back. I try bringing it indoor one winter and still it did not survive. Buying from the farmer markets ready planted seedlings becomes very expensive. I tried developing from seeds, no success.
In addition, I have a tough time keeping thyme alive. They keep dying. I put in sunny shaded area and still not much luck! I keep having to buy more. I live in New York, next to the Big Apple - Manhattan! I am very hands-on baking breads, making homemade pestos, nut butters, granola, growing herbs, tomatoes, beans, and fig trees, as much as I can.
Thanks for sharing your wonderful growing tips!
Thyme and rosemary can take a month to sprout from seed. Basil is an annual so unless you're growing holy basil or have a magic thumb it doesn't live long even in gentle climate rare-to-frost-four-seasons growing areas. However, it is easy to grow your own basil seed. I can't help you with rosemary or English thyme -they are effortless perennials on the Pacific coast (at least from Mendocino County (and probably as far north as coastal BC if you are anywhere near a "banana belt") to the Mexican border.
In case it went I in one way and out the other, she hit the nail on the head when she said that if the soil is healthy there won't be a pest problem. That also solves the weed problem. No need for weed killers and fertilizers etc. If the soil is healthy!
Between the extreme rain and now heat, my small harvest is in despair in Florida
Same in louisiana
Southeast GA too
In Galicia, in Northern Spain, they make a vegetable soup with potaoes, onions and such in it that includes the leaves of turnips and is very good. There they call the leaves of turnips grellos.
Sounds great!
Love your channel! I haven't had luck gardening this summer here in the desert. I really think a fall/winter garden is going to work for us.

I am in south Carolina and my frost dates is in October. I have already started bush beans broccoli, cabbage , bunch onions , dill. and planning to do more as potatoes, peppers, squash, and maybe beets . I love my veggies and am interested in your training on fermenting them . Thank you for your videos. they are so interesting and have so much new information to learn. Keep up the work and teaching to bring us new ideas on caring for our home, food and gardening. LOVE ALL YOUR VIDEOS , I can't say how much I have enjoyed watching you and your family.
Potatoes? Neat!
it still gets into the high 90s here in SC during October.
Enjoyed your video! Thanks guys! :) You sure put your hearts in to everything you do!
Loved this video. You guys have such great personalities. Can't wait for a video about over-the-winter gardening!
We’ve had literally about two weeks of sunshine since June and I’m worried what will grow in my region zone 9.
I’ll leave all that in Gods hands 🙌🏽
I'm also amid to late Frost date. Starting broccoli, chard, radishes, carrots, beets, lettuces, kohlrabi and turnips in my greenhouse
Is there a good solution for how to plant to keep the mid-summer bugs from attacking all of the new tender leaves?
Thank you ! I will plant a fall garden. Retired now so can stay home. Worked school food service for years
Love your videos and everything i'm learning. Thank-you guys for the time you put into these for us!! I look forward to watching them !
Thanks for this. We soak our harvested greens (and other veggies) in a vinegar-water bath always.
This video was great, this is my second year planting something after the first harvest. Thank you.
We're a zone 5 (early October) and we've planted dry beans for winter soups!
I’m zone 5 too!
I'm new to the bean family except for bush beans. What do you plant for dry beans? And when?

Don't forget if you have green onions growing, cut the bottom off--about half to 3/4 inch and stick it back in the ground. It will continue to grow. If you buy store bought green onions with a little bit of root you can do the same thing. If you forget about them and it snows, unless the freeze is deep, you can dig up the bulb pretty late in the year. I'm in PA
I’m at 6,500 ft in colorado and i grow something year round! I do have covers and sometimes i double cover for a few extra degrees of protection. But i had bok choy last year that did great even in the below zero temps! I just put in more lettuce, and chard and carrots. I’m starting cabbages to take the space of the peppers and tomatoes when they come out around the beginning of october. I agree - seeds are cheap! Just try and see what happens! You guys are great! Thank you for all that you share!
We only moved onto our new garden patch in South of France in June; so have been looking to grow late! It is now early September and I planted loads of stuff you have mentioned by July/August. I use hens for fertility moving the dome around on the beds - I have five beds of permaculture - with the chooks still on bed six - having fun and a bit of hard work lots of roots in the new beds! I have tried not to dig too much though. I did not know what mesclun was, but planted it as saw in the shop so glad you mentioned this. Ready to plant some onions peas and beans soon. I am the only one around here who is planting anything!! They are saying it's the end of the season; just tomatoes and peppers grown mainly - no greens!! I also have lots of Chinese leaf. The lettuce never took off though! I did get some courgettes but a bit late for them. Rocket has been doing well and radish.
Sorry all I can do is smile at Elizabeth :-) She is adorable
Make a soup with bacon, butter, chicken stock, onions, celery, kidney beans, potato flakes or refried beans to thicken, lovage (cut up) and turnips...nutritious and delicious.
Sounds great!
Perfect timing on your video…we are going to try some of this on our new homestead property. Love your guys’ channel and what you’re doing there!!! Take care :)
Oh and your little girl is precious!
Northeast AZ - First Frost Oct 15 - Planting everything this week. Microclimate behind my apartment. I hatched chicks this Spring instead of planting a Garden. Now that the chicks are fully integrated into the established flock, I am dividing the yard, containing the chickens away from the garden area, and hoping I get something. Container garden in case I move.
LOVE your husbands efficiency techniques. He makes it so interesting
Great podcast! Greetings from Central California 😇👍🏼
I don't have the room to plant late season crops until the garden fruits and dies out. I'll try in late Sept
thanks 4 vids
You mentioned nurturing your soil a couple of times. Can you give specifics on this topic sometime? How to know when I have the proper mix of needed nutrients
I bought test strips from the feed store to test my soil and I just look up the right PH for the crops I’m growing and amend accordingly! I use my chicken flooring mixed with soil to mulch too.
@@gwengwen4535 but if it’s the wrong oh how do you fix it 🤷♀️
@@strawberryme08 You can look online to find ideas. If it is a bit too acid, you can grow berries of all kinds and potatoes quite well. You can add agricultural lime to neutralize the pH somewhat. Adding compost of almost any kind will help with acid or alkaline soil. If soil is too alkaline you can add peat moss, or ground up dead leaves.
I'm so excited for the canning class!!! My neighbor is giving me a bunch of peaches, and I have no idea what to do with them all
they are easy to do, you can buy stuff to thicken the juice w the peaches if you want, clear gel n I may get this wrong unless go look at bag, thermogro, they both thicken n you can do it when cooking the peaches n add in or just use sugar.
Thanks for offering this information because mid summer sometimes feels too late.
I love the southern curled mustard
Love what you two are doing!!! I love planting as well and am wanting to start canning !!!
