Fall Gardening Tasks (Q&A)

Fall can be a great time to get your garden ready for a successful gardening season. Gardener Scott discusses tips and suggestions for gardening activities in fall, offers gardening tips, answers common gardening questions, shares gardening philosophy, and more. (Sept 30, 2024)


⚠️ PLEASE READ THE LIVESTREAM GUIDANCE HERE: ⚠️

⚠️ As I see questions, I’ll do my best to answer in the order they appear. However, if someone gives a "super chat" or “super sticker” with a question, their question becomes a priority and moves to the front of the queue. Channel members will also receive priority.
⚠️ Because I have a limited amount of time, if I miss a super chat question this week, it will be answered at the beginning of my next livestream next week.
⚠️ Your super chat/sticker is a donation that I appreciate very much.
⚠️⚠️ I’m answering YouTube questions to give actionable tips you can use to become a better gardener. While I have many years of gardening experience and training, please understand that every garden is different and my suggestions may not be the best action for your garden. I encourage you get information from other sources too.

Thanks for your understanding and support!

In UK I either plant winter brassicas or top dress empty beds so they’re ready for spring

I was busy working on a new 12'x50' bed in my yard so I had to wait and watch the replay. Your info and advice is always appreciated. I agree with you about using fall as a prime time to amend and prepare your beds for next year. I turn in the heavy mulch I put on everything during the growing season and let that rot in over the fall and early spring. Next year I will put a new layer of partly composted material as mulch and start the process again.

Hi Gardener Scott watching the replay thanks for sharing 👍

A great book to look into is by Joseph Lofthouse "Landrace Gardening". It goes into details about how not every plant/seed may not be adapted to your growing environment, so he sows every seed he has, and lets nature take care of it, weeding out the weakest and letting everything cross pollinate to get the best genetic adaptation to YOUR environment. Each successional year progressively becomes better and better.
Obviously there's taste testing involved with vegetables.

Good morning but we must run, But hit my like and I'll check video.Yes I mulch leaves and garden waste and grass clippings and dressings my garden

Please do a video on black walnut trees. They're toxins what you can and can't go near it. Also tree of heaven. Both affect a lot of gardeners here in New York

Florida has 2 distinct seasons, summer and construction, construction season lasts all year.

Gardner Scott I thought that I had to wait until all the branches had lost all their color on an asparagus plant before I could cut it down. I was under the understanding that the energy of the plant had to completely go into the roots in order for the plant to come up the next spring in a good amount. Can you clear that up for me?

I’m looking to apply beneficial nematodes to combat persistent pests. Is it best done in fall? Spring? Both?
