We are in the back-to-school season, and that means fall! Don’t pull out your garden, plant it! With things like cucumbers, broccoli, carrots, beets, lettuce, spinach, beans, peas, swiss chard, and more! In this episode I will be going through all the things we are planting in our garden for a fall harvest.

My cherry tomatoes grow from june to december in Northern California
Growing Fall crops of turnips & beets from transplants in central PA. I think I planted my peas too soon. Germination was poor – too hot. Got some more chard in and would like to try carrots too. Also have this parsley root which I transplanted in Spring, and a strawberry spinach (from Monticello) that's supposed to winter over. Not sure what else at this point, because I have no idea what I'm doing! I've never planted for Fall. Just having fun with it!
Do your late turnips have any trouble with worms?
when I hear 60 days to harvest or to start now, does that mean transplants or seeds?
How do you keep the catepilars off your cabbage, kale and broccoli?
I always learn something new.
Thanks for the reminder to get those cool season crops planted, and the info on delaying peas and spinach for a bit. Hello from Zone 5 Mid-MI!
Perfect timing!
Question: are the sweet peas you will plant in a couple of weeks?
1 Swiss Chard
2 Kohlrabi
3 Turnips
4 Peas (wait until late Sep / early Oct)
5 Arugula
6 Kale
7 Spinach (same time as peas)
8 lettuce
9 beets
10 mustard greens
11 radish (wait 3-4 more weeks)
I am going to try broccoli raab/rapini as well 🙂
While planting radishes, my husband said, we should plant some a week apart, my daughter (10) said, but the package says 1 to 2 inches. She couldn't understand why we were laughing so hard
I call kohlrabi a “Bougie Radish”. They taste like a fancy mild radish to me!
Is the chicken wire for rabbits or squirrels?
Thanks so much, Luke! I was planning to grow broccoli, cabbage and cauliflower in my bed that previously had summer squash and zucchini, but then the squash and zuc got a vine borer! I’ve removed those plants, but can I still plant the broc/cauli/cabbage there? Thanks for the advice!
Fall garden aIert? I noticed chicken wire type fencing around your bean patch. My fall beans have been decimated by some hungry animal this year. They were on my deck in Michigan in a grow pot and Greenstalks container at around a 3 ft height. The plants above this level are still with us. This is my first year planting a fall harvest.
i also planted some collards recently for my fall harvest
I live in zone 7, long island NY. How much longer should I wait before planting peas, spinach, Kohlrabi, and radish? Our first frost date is Nov 6. Love all your videos, you have great tips. I love gardening, have been gardening since I was 10 years old with my father.
I'm looking for vegetables to grow that have a low lectin content. According to Dr. Gundry foods with gluten and nightshade veg's like potatoes, peppers, eggplant, peas, zucchini and foods like Quinoa and Buckwheat. Do you know of a way to decrease the lectins in these foods that can cause leaking gut syndrome?
Ok…. you got me going now. Lol! Gonna plant some kale, peas ,lettuce. Thank you.
I guess I pulled the trigger on spinach a bit early and that explains why a couple have started to bolt. But I just planted peas today and I’m hoping for a good harvest. Radishes just popped up the other day too. I already had carrots and lettuces in the ground. I was kind of considering trying cucumbers again as my first plants are starting to finish out.
I really don't have a weed problem! …not lying! Five of my raised beds are straw-/hay-bale beds and one is soil. Only in the soil bed do I get a few weeds sometimes.
Slow year for me. Only had tomatoes and beans. Now the heat is on in Central California..hope for kale. So far no carrots Swiss chard. Radishes.
Thanks for another great video Luke! I have recently directly sown turnips (2 types), radishes, beets, snap peas, bush beans, spinach, and carrots. As well as everything that's continuing from our summer garden. Can't wait to enjoy this fall garden! I also plan to grow into the winter with using hoop houses for the first time. I'll be growing spinach, tatsoi mustard, collard, swiss chard, kale, carrots, mache, sorrel, claytonia and whatever else I might be forgetting. I'm in Brooklyn, NY Zone 7B.
And some of the seeds I'll be sowing I bought from MI Gardener!
I'm in 9B in California, it was 112F today, probably can't plant any of this
What is broccoli rob
Thank you for sharing! I agree, fall garden is an awesome experience and a yummy bounty, hugs and love from Texas!
