  1. Excellent stuff. As usual, we're growing arugula, romaine, and a mesclun salad mix of red kale, leaf lettuces, endive and chervil in pots which I'll move into the garage when a deep frost threatens. I live a mile from Lake Erie, and our early winters are mild since the lake retains a lot of heat. So we harvest fresh salad greens through late December when sans greenhouse, the cold and lack of sun tilts the cost/ benefit in the direction of buying romaine hearts at the grocery. However, we'll be harvesting our mature kale and Brussel sprouts through most of the winter, and they taste better after a frost, IMHO.

  2. i wait till tomatoes and peppers are going down then pull everything and plant green beans in every available space. When they are going down i pull them and plant carrots, onions, collards, broccoli, cabbage, spinach, chard, and im gonna try garlic

  3. Thank you for your great video. Just plant some winter lettuce, red mizuna, rocket and fast asian greens. I’m thinking about rapini too. Our Canadian zone 5 is always full of surprises.

  4. Hi! I have just ordered a raised bed kit, for my first attempt at veg growing!! I have an Autumn kit of broad beans, peas, onion, shallots and garlic. I'm in Bournemouth, so winters are mild, but should I put out slug traps / netting / fleece, or just leave them be? I'm keen to get going, but as a complete beginner, would I be better off waiting until Spring to start?

  5. Hi, Ben! North Florida Fall gardens are the best! I've got seed trays of broccoli, cauliflower, cabbages, rutabagas, collards and lettuces already sown, and today, I started three 162 cell trays of sweet, short-day, onions. In the next few weeks, I'll be direct seeding English peas, beets, and carrots to over-winter. I'm hoping all goes well, like last year.

  6. September is rely the big start to growing non-tropical things in south Florida! I'm putting in beans, peas, lettuces, arugula, spinach, kale, carrots, radishes , cabbage and Seminole pumpkins. Last month I started tomatoes and peppers, which won't frit in our hot summers.

  7. Winters are generally very cold here but I plant my garlic around the 2nd week of November and they do very well. Cutting scapes occurs about mid-June and harvest is in the 3rd week of July. It may be the variety that I grow that contributes to the success.
