How to PERFECTLY Time Your Fall Garden Planting

Summer may be winding down, but your garden is NOT done for. Fall gardening is one of my favorite times of year. I love the fall vegetables, and choosing what to plant for fall is an inherently satisfying experience for me.

But...knowing when to plant a fall garden can prove challenging because of the looming frost date. In this video, I will walk you through a formula I use to perfectly calculate my planting so I get everything out of the ground before winter arrives.

I'm so grateful to live in a frost free zone. Very underrated blessing.

I love the spreadsheet. I was trying to do something like that, but yours is perfect.

That spreadsheet is the most beautiful thing I've seen. <3 <3 <3 Will it ever be available?

[nikkiniks]

Spent my night watching Epic Gardening and building/tweaking my spreadsheet! No better way to spend a quiet evening.

[nadinesoldivieri]

Did you ever make the spreadsheet available? I’d love a copy!

[christinesprague]

I absolutely love this video! Trying to create a plan for planting dates is something I’ve struggled with a lot because I don’t visualize numbers/time well. The fact that you gave the equation, talked through it, then did the same with your spreadsheet is an absolute lifesaver!!! I’m super excited to put it into practice!

That spreadsheet organization is AMAZING

This is exactly what I needed. I'm more of a care-free gardener, but since i have limited space I may need to get a little more strategic. My summer crops are just okay largely because I didn't have enough materials to make a large enough growing bed. Not that the COVID-19 hoarding has lessened, I'll probably expand the plot to include autumn veggies. Thanks again for a great lesson!

Thank you for sharing your spreadsheet idea! I'm an Excel geek and just created the spreadsheet with the calculations/dates. Love how it works and that I can see when I should expect my crops to mature. Thank you.

Love the spread sheet! Have one very similar to yours, but will be augmenting it soon. Really liked the "fill in number of plants" calculation. Waste no space!

Great solid Fall gardening advice Kevin. Loads of folks think that summer is the end of the gardening year. I garden 365 so much you can grow, also keep the microbial life alive in the soil as there are crops still growing rather than the ground lying fallow. Brilliant episode pal

Love the spreadsheet. Right now I have all of this in a journal.

[TheMusicbabe]

I would LOVE a copy of your spread sheet with the formulas! Wow! Love it!!

[yvonnechau]

Very helpful! This is my first year gardening began in the spring and so this will be my first fall garden in Dallas, Texas I look forward to growing new things!

You are such a sweetheart! Thank you for sharing your knowledge with the world. 🔆🌸🐝🌱🌱🌱❤️

Kevin, I know that I am an old man but I can also have a wishlist. A Birdies Raised Garden Bed is on the top of my wishlist. I am on a fixed small income (Social Security) but dream everyday just like everyone else. In my dreams I see myself tending my crops in a raised bed like you use. Wow, it is so awesome to see what you do in those raised beds.

I really like how how made the little “bubble” so we could still see you while you explained your spreadsheet. Really well done video!

[EnngTheGreat]

Hey Kevin, i love your videos man you helped me design my first garden this May by informing me of what vegetables can grow in shaded areas. I was curious if you have any intention to share your spreadsheets. They are excellent.

WOWOWOWOWOWOW. THIS. IS. EVERYTHING. Thank, boo!

[lindsaymarikofoose]

This just laid it out for me in a way that just clicked. Thanks dude.
