Prep & Plant the Fall Garden

Prep & plant the fall garden with me-- in this video I'll share how I prep beds and plant my vegetable transplants for the fall garden (including brassicas, lettuce & chard) in my Ohio, Zone 6a garden... as well as a few tips for success and how to deal with common insect pests.

Cuyahoga County here. I'm kinda over summer plants and can't wait to sow fall plants. I'm loving this colder spell we're having.

[anissaferringer]

I hate this unseasonably cool weather! Need all the summer I can get ☀️

[TJtheHAWK]

Love this time of year. Gradually getting more fall crops in.. As you noted, the biggest challenge sometimes is finding the space!

[tarar]

I appreciate your content so much. I share your approach to gardening and "waste not want not" using what you have. Your garden is incredible, just wanted to send a note of appreciation for how you share your knowledge, experience, and real-life (not influencer-perfect) gardening adventures. ❤

Last time I left my garden hose out overnight the wild turkeys thought it was a snake and pecked it full of holes! Instant soaker hose 😅

[randyschaefman]

Thank you for all your Great Gardening information!
I love this cooler weather!

[TheGardenFamily]

That's quite a hose line! 😆 We got ours in the ground this weekend too, hopefully they get established before the 90 degree days show up next week! Hope you have a great end of the season Jenna!

Girl you havin all those slugs in your bare hand gives me the willies! 😱 You're a braver soul than me 😅

[JUANORQUIO]

WoW! That’s Incredibly Awesome! I Loved it! 🤩❤️✨

[PorchGardeningWithPassion]

Awesome! I need to make some choices soon regarding keeping summer crops that may or may not reach maturity before things get to cold for them or go all in on my Fall crops here in Lynden, WA. Choices

Great video! Thank You for sharing and GOD BLESS.

You always impress me with your energy and love I had that till a few years ago ....but my back is in bad shape and I now have difficulty bending down....

[howmygardengrows]

I've left my hose on many times. Lol. Also ran over it with my mower a time or two as well.

[esthersdaughterlong]

Great information Jenna.
I'm in Florida so I have 2 month's before I start planting. Amending the soil now.

Hopefully, you got cow poop you can trust. I have to re-poke holes in my soaker hoses. They get clogged with ground water minerals. I use sowing needles and pins clamped in a vise gripe and poke new holes. You can get water timers too. But they clog as well.

I still suggest installing a remote water faucet on a 4x4 post. Just feed it with the hose from the house you have now, but leave the line ON. That’ll give you a remote shut off of the water by the garden. The metal hoses in the garden are light and bullet proof. I also use quick disconnects on all my hose attachments, but first things, first.

I have to pull my onions yet and get in my Pak Choi. Hey, only 30 days to harvest! Those are fun to grow! Quick on rewards! My onions sucked this year. (Unlike yours – HUGE, world record ones!) I have leeks yet. Peppers. Tomatoes were the best ever – 14 varieties. Okra is doing great. Cukes and pickles very good. New sunflower varieties, all cool.

As you suggested many times and I did 2 springs ago and loved the results with following with "Bolt sweet corn" best ever.The cover crop seed company gifted me some big reddish as cover crop and 6a Mid Ohio and claybase soil so I'm seeing great results but I'm learning and improving thanks

[dustyflats]

Maybe you have them, but I find brass quick connects very handy and quick. I attach them to all hoses and spray attachments.
Lol, good thing it was a soaker hose when you left the water on. Yes, it’s been very dry after all the flooding rain this summer.
We normally don’t have slugs, but I have two clay beds and believe slugs may have ate most of the fall cauliflower seedlings. Not sure if I can get them going still—we will see.
It is cooling off in WI also and heating up by weekend and yes to bug netting and shade cloth. I didn’t mulch yet and may scrape up some pine needles.
Starting to wrap most things up and preserve harvest tomorrow. Picking tomatoes at blush to ripen has helped get better quality fruit as it was a bad tomato year with very early blight.

I'm in Wisconsin zone 5b and we have had abundant rain this year. Mixed blessing- virtually no need to water, but slug and earwig population has exploded and I lost a lot of brassicas .

If you use vinegar to dissolve the calcium deposits on drip irrigation and soaker hoses, and then rinse them thoroughly, the life of such hoses is extended.
