Susan, I could listen and learn from you all day. I wish I would have had some Teachers at school like you. Your way is so calm and relaxing and yet I take it in. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us 🤗🤗🤗. I’m in Devon, England.

I thought it was a good time to start fall garden crops beginning August, but the weather is nuts! We just had a wonderful cool week and now…Sat-Wed is suppose to be sizzling Hot! Talking heat index reaching 107*+😮. I whipped on shade cloth and need more mulch. That’s freaky hot for WI. Thankfully it will be short lived as I don’t do humidity at all.
Thx for tips and good luck!

Susan what was previously in these fall beds? What are you succession planting from?

[joycedagostino]

Great choices of your seeds. I always make note and appreciate you sharing the actual names as well as the tips for nutrients to give them a boost. Still getting up and down weather here but finally a bit of cooling occasionally which has helped and random rain showers too so some things may be a lot later than normal. Question, on the bone meal, do you add it at other times too or just incorporated into the soil? Thanks for your video

Hi Susan. I planted a rhubarb plant this spring and it is beautiful. Everything I've read said not to harvest this year. It was so hard. What do I do now? Let the plant and fruit die? Cut them off? Thanks for your help

Hi Susan


I got blight on majority of my peppers. I noticed some flowers but not sure if they will eventually turn to bell peppers. Should I just pull the plants out? My last frost date is Oct 22 zone 7A.

I love those baby turnips, but I’ve given up growing them. Every year they get root maggots😢.

Do you have trouble getting spinach to germinate? I sometimes do, last time I soaked them overnight and had better luck.

Hi Susan. I am wondering how many days you have left until first frost? I also live in a 5b/6a zone in BC. Our first frost date is around the end of September. Do I have enough time to sow seeds for a fall garden (we are not radish fans)? Thank you
