Hey Guys, Here's a planting guide for Zones 5-7. These are crops you can plant in August and harvest all fall and some you can even overwinter in a hoop house or cold frame and have something to harvest in your garden all winter long!! My July Video has almost 600,000 views. Let's see if we can do even better with this video!! Happy Gardening!!
Hi, I'm new to gardening and just started watching your videos. I'm in the central midlands of SC (I think zone 8-A?). I want to plant Brussels Sprouts, spinach and squash...is it to late for me?
Brussels Sprouts and Spinach should be fine. In Zone 8 A summer squash would still be okay (zucchini, crookneck, etc). But I'm not sure about winter squashes. Do you have frost and if so when?
Angela Smith ....give it a try....that's how you learn in your zone... Might be too hot overall tho..look up bolting in your gardening references....bugs too will be hard as well... But just try everything you want...be mindfully of plant needs and spacing..... Keep Growing....
Down here in zone 8-9 I plant my fall garden at the start of sept. I plant mostly greens, mustards, collards, kale, turnips, beets, cabbage, chard. If I don't plant them early enough they won't grow during the winter but larger plants continue to grow and be harvest able all winter long.It's kind of a dance. Plant to early and they go to seed before winter. Too late and they won't grow in the cold weather. I also plant broccoli and cauliflower although the cauliflower takes up a lot of space for small harvest but the leaves are also edible. Lettuce does well as the temperatures fall later in the year. I've never had much success with spinach but I've found that new Zealand spinach does well in the greenhouse year round. Fortunately I can grow tomatoes, peppers, and cucumbers through the winter in the green house due to the mild winters here with a little extra heat added. When I have the seed I always grow pimento peppers as they are sweet, grow quickly and make lots of fruit. Unfortunately it takes some work to locate the seed and most seed companies put pimento on the labels of almost all varieties of peppers leading to getting seeds for all sorts of peppers that aren't pimentos. For those not familiar pimento are small bell pepper like fruit(often golf ball sized or slightly larger) but single or double lobbed unlike bells that are often three or four lobbed fruit.
Broccoli, kohlrabi, cabbages, brussel sprouts, The above all from starts in the north Kale varieties Lettuce varieties Asian greens, bok choy, pac choy, napa cabbages, etc Spinach, on August first Swiss chard Carrots Beets Turnips Also: arugula, chicory, sorrel, radishes, parsley, endives, leeks, dandelion, mosh, radicchio, menzoa.
I love winter gardens in z7. I have planted kale and spinach seed in January and it did fine. Its hard to start seeds when it SO hot, so most things are easier from purchased plants. Frost cloth is the greatest invention ever.
I honestly think that most of what this video contains is going to be very applicable to you in the UK. My understanding your your climate makes me think that you are mostly in that zone 5 to 7 range.
Kale is also 'Better after a Frost' ! I am in Zone 3 and just Love carrots I dig up over the winter.. just don't let them Thaw Out ! Just 'cook them frozen'.. Very Sweet !
You nissed Japanese 'Komatsuna' from your list - a leafy vegetable much like spinach, but super easy to grow. It is closely related to Oil seed rape - looking identical except the leaves are lighter in colour and also edible ! Same flower as rape, same thin seed pods and it likes cooler climates, but will grow year round.
Thank you so much. If I can find seedlings I'm going to plant some veggies. On severe money budget and can't afford store bought, so happy I still have time to plant something. Great information & video.
Mostly shade works fine, also works alright other leafy vegetables, just give everyone of the plants a little more space, then you might in the sunshine.
We had Vates kale overwinter without any protection. 2 plants made it all the way through the winter and we harvested from them up until they went to seed in early May.
This is why my broccoli my broccoli is just growing leaves and no broccoli in the stock kale I have doing well lettuce doing well also and my cabbage thank good
I was just starting to get some sugar snap peas. I woke to find all the pods and leaves gone. The plants are up high onmy deck in half of 55 gallon plastic barrels. So I am pretty sure it was not a rabbit or chuck. It looks like a tree with all the branches cut off. I am really wizzed off ! Put diatomaceous earth on now but we just got torrential rain and it all washed off. Gee gardening is fun ! NOT ALWAYS !
Just caught some really big grasshoppers in a sticky mouse trap. Striped legs, maybe 3 inches across ! They may be the culprits ! Never seen any so big around here. Could have come from mexico with the people over the wall ! ?
...after waiting patiently, and nurturing these plants, giving them the sun and care they need to flourish, it’s heartbreaking, not to mention sucky, when you go out and see it all destroyed. Sorry that happened. It’s happened to me. My culprit was my baby grandchild, all you can do is wait until next season!
Helllo Everyone, I live in Zone 9a, or Simply Las Vegas NV.. I would love a list of things to plant in pfrepping for fall, and spring , or just When to Start.. Thank you!!!
Alice, Interesting. That must be something specific to the seed company you buy seeds from. I had never noticed this before so I pulled out all of my seed packages and none of them have a zone map on the back. Dang!! Who do you buy your seeds from??
I have a question, Will you teach on grow bags vs back yard soil for those of us who need to make good of the space and resources that we may have? Thank you for the answer to my question.
Awesome! Blessings to everyone if you haven't yet repented and accepted Christ Jesus as your Lord and savior please do so before it's too late it's not God's will for none to perish Acts 2vs 38 John 3vs 16 Romans 10 vs 13
I live in Arizona it’s summer here I start planting tomatoes 🍅 okra chili 🌶 bell pepper garlic onion spring onion some sweet potato 🍠 herbs 🌿 How to plant the carrots 🥕 I use container gardening. Thank you 🙏
Enjoyed your video sir. For zone 7a you can plant Squash and Zucchini for a fall harvest starts are best but seeds will work also. I find it does better than the spring crops. Also you can do onion sets and get the tops. Hope this helps. I'm trying Mizuna as well I will let you know how it does.
Thanks for this. I am in zone 6. I have not been able to grow spinach so far. I tried Noble Giant and Bloomsdale. Are there any other varieties you recommend? I have tried starting from seed indoors, I have tried starting them in seed starting mix, wrapped them in wet paper towel prior to planting either outdoors or indoors, or just planting outdoors. Nothing works. Sometimes they germinate, but perish soon after.
@@StoneyAcresGardening I always monitor them closely for adequate water. I water from the bottom up in the trays. Outside I have drip irrigation. I have grown other crops, however I am fairly new to vegetable gardening. This is my third year.
Thank you so much for explaining the zones. Almost everyone on CZcams talk about zones, but I was so confused as to what that is. I live in Canada so I guess I have to figure it out!
There are hundreds of gardening books from paper back to beautiful hard covers..in library, bookstores and on internet as well as CZcams. Most all round gArdening books will show a map with zones in addition to crop rotations and times. It is nice to have old fashioned book on hand as quick reference. One thing most master gardeners will share..not all zones are equal at times..sun shade walls city country..funny weather, valleys Rockies, soil all make a diffetrence. What this video and the gardening books share that is most helpful is the success rate is better if planting at certain times of the year according to zones. And experimenting is good..but sometimes loss of plants happen anyway. Good luck!
I’ve been looking for a zone 5 help I really appreciate that you say planting seed vs starts because it’s always confused me when I hear plant it here at this time, well seeds or inside starts????
"Garden zones are a North American thing" LOL no it's not just an North American thing - We are also using zones in Europe :) A better way to explain it is to say it's a way for us to understand how the climate is where we are, so it's easier for us to know what and when to plant!
What about other zones? I currently live in 8 or 9 depending on which map i look at. I plan on moving to zone 4-5 maine...do you have videos on these other zones???
It really depends on the year. But I often don't water at all from around the first of December until the middle of February. You are really just storing them in a cold frame or hoop house for the winter, and as long as the soil was moist before the really cold weather settles in then you really don't need to water. Before November I'm watering at least once a week, unless it rains or snows, then I might leave the lids off the cold frame and let nature take care of it.
You need a barrier, you can plant a hedge of some kind to block the wind, evergreens might be your best option if they spray in the fall/winter. Maybe even a secondary lower growing hedge beyond that one as well, choose hardy pesticide resistant varieties.
@@shantielives I said nothing of the sort, plants that block prevailing winds to shield your garden, that is what I meant. I said nothing of gmos. There are hardy plants that are not genetically modified to be so.
This recent spring was my first growing season. None of my root vegetables developed roots (carrots, turnips, even radish!) Any suggestions to improve root development? I need to fix this problem before planting fall root vegetables. Thanks! P.s. I'm zone 9a.
It's really tough to diagnose from a distance. But my initial thoughts would be maybe not enough water, or they may have been planted too late in the year and it got too hot? Carrots, Turnips and Radishes are all cool season crops that would prefer to grow in temperatures under 80 degrees.
@@StoneyAcresGardening the last 3 yrs my carrots didn't even look like they came up. When snow melted in the spring had very sweet carrots. Going back to chantany carrots. Lots more reliable
Jennifer Turner they are cool weather plants and they also don’t require a lot of nitrogen or you will end up with just foliage and no root. Don’t use a fertilizer with a higher nitrogen level than 5.
I am in zone 4b according to the USDA website (southern MN). Do you think trying some of these plants now in August might be worth a try? Our really cold temps usually don’t hit until the end of December or into January, but we can be in the teens for temps as early as the end of October, just depends on the year.
Karen Hiebert find out your first frost date and count backwards from there. Check days to maturity for whatever you’re wanting to plant and see if they are frost tolerant, frost hardy or not frost tolerant. You may have to buy starts for some things if you don’t have time to grow from seed ( broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts won’t have time from seed ) but leafy greens are fine and bok choy matures quickly, also spinach and lettuce,Swiss chard, kale, bok choy, sugar snap peas, etc. you have time to plant. Good luck!
Are canadian garden zones equivalent to usda zones? You said it was a north american thing; but i see discrepancies between the two systems when I look at zone designations along the border ...
LOOK FOR CANADIAN HARDINESS ZONES . WE CAN STILL DO A SECOND PLANTING OF SOME CROPS UP HERE BUT YOU REALLY MUST CHECK YOUR ZONE FIRST AS SOME AREAS IN CANADA ARE QUITE NORTHERN
Besides Nurseries, try your local Mom and Pop hardware store, you can also try places like Tractor Supply, Southern States or the big box stores....Walmart may even have some still. BTW, for those on Food Stamps, the EBT card allows you to purchase seeds and starters
Can you tell me why my beets did nothing the tops are maybe two or three inches high. Kohlrabi did nothing carrots are about the size of a pencil. All were planted early spring
Thank you for this. Im south NJ. zone 7a. I wanted to ask if. With the carrots. Can they be started from seed ?!? Or. Do you need starter plants for those, as with the broccoli ?!?
MizzRivera86 ...your gonna need a lot of lights...better to plan a grow box for next spring....z6 here.... Not really worth the hassle in the house during winter time...IMO...now you try anything you want...all you can do is learn....
Thanks for your videos. I planted my kale and lettuce seeds in July and they are seeding. When do I separate or thin out the plants? They are only spouted seedlings now. I am a new gardener and appreciate your input. Another question, I tried Brussel sprouts this spring, early summer and the worms got me, any advice on bugs? I want to protect my lettuce from the beginning. Thanks
Cindy Smotherman cut them to thin so you don’t disrupt the roots. This is when you plant Brussels sprouts ( start them inside) diatomaceous earth is good for worms or you can use row covers. You can crush egg shells and put around the base of your greens, soft bodied pests can’t crawl through them without getting cut and dehydrated. Good luck!
The packages lie, I'm in zone 6 and all the packages said to plant April- june. I did carrots and beats, no beats came up and out of 26 seeds, i got 1 carrot.
That is the time frame for spring planting of carrots and beets. I would look at making sure you had good quality seed. Also beets and carrots like lots of moisture to germinate. You can replant them again in the fall as I talked about in this video.
Hi it’s so nice to have someone instructing in how to grow what and where and when. I would like a course if am able to get on my phone Don’t exactly remember details Thanks am Marjorie. Bye.
i live in the north of the netherlands: winter: minus max - 20 C (dec/januari/febr/)first frost end of october.Sea climat. How does Europe match with America?
Your climate should match well with the regions he is speaking of. Netherlands is farther north, but sea climate offsets our primarily continental climate. Similar to garden region 5 or 6 would be my expectation
Joke Sprang - look at this video. Eliot Coleman harvest veggies in Maine, about 44 degrees north latitude, similar to Paris but much colder. Very informative! czcams.com/video/cBKr9kPrpzU/video.html

Kale varieties
Lettuce varieties
Asian greens, bok choy, pac choy, napa cabbages, etc
Spinach, on August first
Swiss chard
Carrots
Beets
Turnips
Also: arugula, chicory, sorrel, radishes, parsley, endives, leeks, dandelion, mosh, radicchio, menzoa.
If you use a cold frame, some of these might grow right through the winter.
Root crops can be mulched inside the cold frame, and dug up as needed.

I live in zone 7. My aunt always planted fall tomatoes and cucumbers. She took cuttings off the tomatoes in July and planted for a fall crop
Wow! That's awesome! It's too cold where I live to do that, but I love that you're able to!
Yes love the fall carrots well always plant in the fall and no bugs., cilantro and parsley
thank you for helping this Brit gardener to understand US garden zones a bit better!
I honestly think that most of what this video contains is going to be very applicable to you in the UK. My understanding your your climate makes me think that you are mostly in that zone 5 to 7 range.
Thank you for helping us to eat well during the fall and winter 👍🌻
You should add collards to your list of greens they're excellent and they take a good Frost and become sweeter
i appreciate your mentioning you zone. good information on many videos but, most presenters never do that. happy gardening...
I may have missed it but garlic is also a good one to plant before the ground freezes.
Robert yes. But August is much too early. In Zone 6 we dont plant garlic until mid October.
There's a CZcamsr in zone 7 and she plants summer squash and zucchini in late July to avoid vine borers. I'm going to try this.

Did someone said "Sativa" now we cooking it up....lol
Thank you for sharing this video with me. I hope to plant some these items.
Thanks for sharing. I can plant some in our garden.
You bet
If you plant lettuce now, you can plant it in garden containers and put on the edge of shade and you will have great lettuce.
Very true, Great idea!
Mostly shade works fine, also works alright other leafy vegetables, just give everyone of the plants a little more space, then you might in the sunshine.
Going to get started on this really quick, as I miss the flavor of homegrown veg. Thanks for sharing!
Home grown is the best
Onions, green onions but do not expect them to become big but tops are great!!

question - for this video, are all these recommended crops to be planted in August from seedlings (starts) or can some be planted from seeds??
Great question. Broccoli family crops would be from transplants. Everything else from seeds.
My question too! Thanks! So we can direct sow the seeds into the soil?
Thanks
Well I'm 2b or 3 so I don't know why I keep getting my hopes up when I see titles like this.
Sorry
I’m in NJ I need to get ready
Yep fall gardening starts soon!! When is your first frost date??
My zone is 6b according to my zip code 08536
Pretty similar to me. Start planting about 6 to 8 weeks before your first frost. Probably just another week or two.

Many zones have been completely different in recent years. Completely disturbed. It is no longer about zones. Unfortunately
M-am gandit si eu la cateva plante,mai mult la spanac si salata,mulrumesc pentru incurajare.
You're Welcome!
If overwintering, how often do you water? I am new to gardening and live in Idaho and I am trying to figure this all out. Thank you for your time!
It really depends on the year. But I often don't water at all from around the first of December until the middle of February.

I live next to a golf course that often sprays weed killer that at times blows down wind to my yard. What can I do to protect my garden?
Ruti Ann that is wind drift...the sprayer is responsible...whomever applied the weed killer should owe you damages....
You need a barrier, you can plant a hedge of some kind to block the wind, evergreens might be your best option if they spray in the fall/winter. Maybe even a secondary lower growing hedge beyond that one as well, choose hardy pesticide resistant varieties.

Are these all from seed except for the onions and broccoli?
Yes anything in the broccoli family would be from starts. Onions would be from starts also, but you would only get green onions this late in the year.

Spring in most areas
Where do you find starts at this late in the season?
On the dark side of the he moon ! LMAO
Nurseries
Besides Nurseries, try your local Mom and Pop hardware store, you can also try places like Tractor Supply, Southern States or the big box stores....Walmart may even have some still. BTW, for those on Food Stamps, the EBT card allows you to purchase seeds and starters
What about peas? my mom planted then in the fall but you did not mention them.
jacob Stahl
He mentioned them in the July vid.
What are some leafy greens that will survive during summer heat zone 9 ? Thanks
Kale and collards would do ok. And Malibar or New Zealand Spinach
@@StoneyAcresGardening Chard?
@@steveum7630 chard will do okay as well. But not great.
@@StoneyAcresGardening Can't get Malibar or New Zealand spinach around here any other type of spinach you might recommend? Thanks
@@steveum7630 Any other spinaches would be cool season crops. You could order them online.
what are you speaking of to put over the spinach, I didnt get that. thanks.
A cold frame or a hoop house.
Can you tell me why my beets did nothing the tops are maybe two or three inches high. Kohlrabi did nothing carrots are about the size of a pencil. All were planted early spring
Where do you find row covers
Most seed companies sell them and you can also get them on Amazon.
What about rutabagas?
I honestly can't give you an answer on that one. I've never grow them myself and don't know much about them. Sorry.
Thank you for this. Im south NJ. zone 7a. I wanted to ask if. With the carrots. Can they be started from seed ?!? Or. Do you need starter plants for those, as with the broccoli ?!?
Carrots are always started from seeds. Root crops don't handle transplanting very well.
2:43 talks about the seeds to plant in your zone.
I live in zone 9-B, 1/4 mile from the ocean, so it’s windy. I need help!
Steve Wightman get wind breakers put up
Any suggestions on apartment planting but inside?
MizzRivera86 ...your gonna need a lot of lights...better to plan a grow box for next spring....z6 here....
Not really worth the hassle in the house during winter time...IMO...now you try anything you want...all you can do is learn....
Thanks for your videos. I planted my kale and lettuce seeds in July and they are seeding. When do I separate or thin out the plants? They are only spouted seedlings now. I am a new gardener and appreciate your input.
Another question, I tried Brussel sprouts this spring, early summer and the worms got me, any advice on bugs? I want to protect my lettuce from the beginning. Thanks
Sooner rather than later in my opinion. The sooner you get them thinned out the less damage you will do to the remaining plants.
Cindy Smotherman cut them to thin so you don’t disrupt the roots. This is when you plant Brussels sprouts ( start them inside) diatomaceous earth is good for worms or you can use row covers. You can crush egg shells and put around the base of your greens, soft bodied pests can’t crawl through them without getting cut and dehydrated. Good luck!
Thanks so much for the suggestions!
The packages lie, I'm in zone 6 and all the packages said to plant April- june. I did carrots and beats, no beats came up and out of 26 seeds, i got 1 carrot.
That is the time frame for spring planting of carrots and beets. I would look at making sure you had good quality seed. Also beets and carrots like lots of moisture to germinate.
You can replant them again in the fall as I talked about in this video.
Im sorry but i had to lol😂
Hi it’s so nice to have someone instructing in how to grow what and where and when. I would like a course if am able to get on my phone Don’t exactly remember details Thanks am Marjorie. Bye.
Yes you can watch my courses on a phone.

How do u plant carrots? I have the tips cut in a plate

I'm not sure what you are referring too. You plant carrots using seeds.
Can most of these also be planted in pots ?
Sure
Hi I am living in Vancouver ,it it possible to plant
What about watering in the fall and winter? Our secondary water system is turned off at the end of September, first of October.
I usually water by hand as needed on October and November. After that you are usually okay without watering.
ourstoneyacres thank you

When to plant garlic?
Fall, we don't plant ours until October.
Last week of october. Just think halloween in zone 6 for planting garlic
@@budbruni4696 Thank you for the great tip.
I'm zoning is 8 when best time to do this
6 to 8 weeks before your first frost. I will be doing a zone 8 video this year.
i live in the north of the netherlands: winter: minus max - 20 C (dec/januari/febr/)first frost end of october.Sea climat. How does Europe match with America?
Your climate should match well with the regions he is speaking of. Netherlands is farther north, but sea climate offsets our primarily continental climate. Similar to garden region 5 or 6 would be my expectation
Missouri has typical first hard frost in mid October, but so does Michigan due to lake effects of being surrounded by the Great Lakes.
Joke Sprang - look at this video. Eliot Coleman harvest veggies in Maine, about 44 degrees north latitude, similar to Paris but much colder. Very informative!
czcams.com/video/cBKr9kPrpzU/video.html
Joke Sprang I live in Missouri and it sounds compatible with my zone 6a
I'm kinda lazy ,what can I plant in November an February...
Start your broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, and brussel sprouts in trays to put out as soon as the threat of Frost is over.
Very nice & informative video, I am in Raleigh, NC I would like to know my zone help plz. TIA
