My wife and I just harvested our second crop of tomatoes and our first crop of peppers, and are awaiting, our first crop of potatoes and carrots. I am also growing from seed, celery, and have at least two good looking celery stalks growing in our greenhouse. It has taken us a few years, yes, to learn how to plant and grow in a greenhouse, but definately worth the time and effort!

In the video where you show the beets, there was another plant growing with them called Purslane. It's a wild edible too and will self seed and come back year after year.

Zone 10a (FL) should be planting tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, okra, endive, tropical spinach, pineapple, bush and pole beans, cowpeas, squashes, tomatillos, bunching onions, and carrots in August.

Last year I planted spinach, beets, Swiss chard, and fennel as part of the fall garden. In zone 5 with a week of -10 degrees in January, all 4 of those plants overwintered and began growing again in the spring. I am always learning in the garden!

This was perfect timing. I was just planning out my spinach, kale, and lettuce for my fall balcony garden. Any my red amaranth I planted early in the season is huge!! The leaves are also delicious. As always, thanks to you and your team for helping us!

My garden was a total loss due to an extremely wet spring. Its good to know that we can still plant seeds in August.

Arizona here. My garden has burned the last 2 years in a row. 2x daily water system. 90% shade cloth, organing fertilizers. The 3 years before that, everything went GREAT.

Sweet potatos are amazing if they grow in your region, you can eat the leaves as well plus they store far longer than regular potatos

While many eat beet root and some the greens be aware the large stems from the leaves makes a very good substitute for celery in chicken salad or cornbread dressing.

Years ago my elderly neighbor in Dallas covered his vegetable beds with parking covers. They got early and late sun. Hail protection. He had a phenomenal garden and shaded him, too.

If you can make a hoop house, place a compost bin at one end which will generate heat to reduce chances of frost damage. Another option is to use incandescent Christmas lights around the inside of your hoop house for additional warmth when nighttime temperatures drop. Be creative, even used cooking oil lanterns can be used (with caution) for additional warmth. I’ve also thought about heating rocks or bricks for a few hours of heat (I haven’t tried this yet). Good luck and happy gardening!

This year I planted horseradish, I love it. My native plums are thriving. I planted redbud seeds yesterday, they make a large bean crop without irrigation. They sprouted from seed in Dallas, so I put out seeds.

Chard is the only leafy green that I’ve tried growing that doesn’t set seed when it turns hot. The leaves are huge and my chickens really enjoy it. I’ve also pickled the stalks. The larger ones stay very crunchy.

I LOVE to garden. It gives me so much peace and it is such a great way to try mew foods. Its great to be prepared, but still take JOY in natures bounty and the wonder of miraculous growth of your plants and yourself.

I planted my fall/winter garden the other day. So far it looks promising. I'm hoping to have a good harvest before the war comes to the States.

Great video Kris. Thanks for bringing us around, helping us focus on things we can’t control instead of things we cannot control. Sometimes it’s hard to know the difference.

Thanks for this reminder! I have most areas ready - just need to select my product!

Good list. Do note that several of the crops you recommended are high in oxalates. Anyone at risk for kidney stones should limit spinach, amaranth, sorghum, and beets (including their greens). Lacinto kale is the variety lowest in ox. I'd add chives for flavoring and they are perennial.
