I love the way you break it down per climate and explain so clearly.

[caroldavis]

I LOVE your channel!
I so WISH you had a book with both your words AND pictures! You say and show a LOT and at 65 it's a lot to remember! I've gardened for years, been out of gardening for a few, I'm an old country girl but have learned a bunch from you! So please consider making a book! I want the first copy!

My favorite famly of vegetables! Oops, I already screwed up. I just started three types of kale and collards. Well, only five seeds of each, so I don't expect them all to make it. I could still sow a few more in the next week or so.Another excellent video!

I plant 40-50 broccoli per year. We harvest main heads, blanch and freeze to enjoy over next 2 seasons. Just started my seeds today for fall harvest.

I kinda gave up on HEADING BRASSICA S. We would get these unseasonable warm days in NOVEMBER or FEBRUARY and they BOLT. I appreciate this advice.

Snoopervise 😂 . You and Dale are hilarious. Thanks for the tips on brassicas. I will definitely try growing some brassicas in the spring 2024

I’m 2 counties west of you and my fall garden is just beautiful this year. I followed so much of your advice. Drip irrigation, landscape fabric and compost. I have collards, cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, bok Choi, red radish, daikon radish, turnips, Swiss chard, kale, spinach, lettuce and mustard. It’s been extremely dry, as you know, and I’ve been irrigating often. I’m currently harvesting kale, radishes, collards, bok choi, and turnips. Cabbage, broccoli and cauliflower are about 2 weeks out.

My spring garden was beautiful as well.

I’ve had my own garden for about 30 years and grew up with gardens but I have gotten so much useful information from your channel. Thanks for your dedication and willingness to share your knowledge.

I'm in Idaho, zone 7a, which has wild swings in temps and is very unpredictable. I stopped trying to fight it and now only plant things that are easy to grow and I know will do well. I also have all my raised beds with season covers I purchased online that are a tight fit, anchored to the beds, and can zipper closed. When a freak storm rolls in, I zip them closed. Complete game changer.

[valerieleuba]

I am impressed with your beautiful garden. It gives me hope in NC that I could have the same.

[themaytagman]

Thanks for the help from your neighbor in Myrtle Beach

[Sunnylane]

Your channel is one of my favorites!!! Always giving such good advice & information! Greetings from Ohio!

Great video! The Millennium gardener is a Stud💪👊🔥💯

If your measuring stick uses straight lines for 6 inch spacing, you can add 8 inch spacing by using different marks, like arrows or stars. Of course you can use the back side as well.

[genecarr]

Never mind, I spoke too soon as you explained it later. Thanks for the great videos.

[JanetHancock-gf]

This video is so helpful! The breakdown for climate, seed types, everything. Thank you!

[WillWilsonII]

I have a hard time with Mizuna here. In California it did better and there wasn't tree frogs, which love it. I just let them eat it because they're hungry too.

[mr.lourod]

Down here in Savannah, Ga just started cooling off a bit. So great ideas for the beds. Thank You!! First Fall Garden for me. :)

[HON-E-BEE]

Love that u include Dale! I have 3 Boxers, Dave, Kevin, and Linda-May! They re always by my side . I think they're going to enjoy being with me in the garden all Summer. They LOVED being in my greenhouse especially in Jan when the sun would shine they'd find a nice spot on a bench, lay down and work on their tans!
Ty for the broccoli 🥦 tips and wish us goodluck!

Great video. I finished planting out all my brassicas this past weekend. My cabbage wasbthe first thing I transplanted out last weekend amd today, I saw they wer covered with Aphids. I first thought it ws dirt because my lawn man had cut my grass earlier, but after taking a picture and zooming in, I realized they were aphids. I sprayed them down with water and folowed up with neem oil. Hopefully that helps are, I'm goimg to have to pull out something stronger. It's heartbreaking to work so hard to grow your own food and some tiny little pests can sneak in and destroy it all. 😢
