When is it safe to plant vegetables
15 Vegetables YOU MUST Grow in FALL or AUTUMN
hello everyone this is jack in this
video i'm going to cover 15 vegetables
you must grow in fall
so let's get started number one garlic
garlic is one of the easiest and
maintenance free vegetables to grow
which provides good value as well
you can buy seed garlic or you can use
organic garlic bar from grocery stores
do not buy conventional garlic to grow
because conventional garlic is usually
sprayed with gross suppressant chemicals
to start your garlic plants use bigger
garlic cloves
to figure out the depth and spacing all
you need is a thumb
and a hand that garlic should be planted
about a thumbs length deep
and a hand's length apart this basically
corresponds to planting garlic cloves at
least two inches deep
and six inches apart and row spacing
should also be
six inches apart i made a video on
complete guide to grow garlic so check
that video out if you're interested
you can also plant garlic in containers
as well as soon as the leaves begin to
die back
garlic is ready for harvest garlic is
ready to harvest in about eight to
nine months number two potatoes potatoes
love
cool weather below 80 degree fahrenheit
you can plant potatoes in spring and in
fall
when planting in fall make sure you give
predators at least three months of
growth before the first frost
plant the whole potato one inch below
the soil plant and row spacing should be
12 to 18 inches apart
harvest potatoes after three months and
you will get a lot of potatoes
potatoes are a lot of fun to grow
you can also plant potatoes in
containers as well
plant potatoes at least six inches below
the top of the container
this way you can add more growing medium
to the container as potatoes continue to
grow
this is similar to mounding the potatoes
number three onions which you can also
harvest as green onions as well
if you have mild winters you can grow
onions in fall and grow them all the way
up to maturity in late spring
zones above eight are suitable for
planting onions in fall
to grow them all the way up to maturity
however if you live in an area with cold
winters which is below zone 8
and you want to grow onions to maturity
you must grow onions in early spring
however you can always grow onions in
fall and use them as green onions
you can grow onions and green onions
directly from seed by sewing seed
quarter of an inch down
and the row spacing and plant spacing
should be four inches apart
the type of onions you should grow in
fall are called short day onions
i also made a video on how to grow lots
of onions so check that video out as
well
green onions can be harvested many times
depending on the size so keep enjoying
those green onions
number four green beans now green beans
take about two months before producing
so plant green means at least two to
three
months before the first frost this could
be in august or september depending on
yuzon
keep in mind that green beans planted in
fall are little slow growing than green
beans planted in spring
green beans can also be planted indoors
and then transplanted outside
i have a video on starting green bean
seedlings in rain gutters and then
transplanting all of the green bean
ceilings all at once directly in your
garden
this rain gutter idea is very convenient
for seedlings that are closely planted
check the video or if you're interested
i'll leave a link to the video in the
description
when starting green beans plant the
seeds one inch deep plant's fishing
should be three inches and row spacing
24 inches apart
while bush beans grow on their own pole
beans require a trellis or some sort of
sports structure
you can start harvesting green beans
just two months after planting
number five cilantro cilantro loves
weather below 80 degree fahrenheit
so as soon as the weather cools in
summer and the temperature starts to dip
blow 80 degrees fahrenheit
you can start planting cilantro and you
can start harvesting cilantro just
one month after planting plant cilantro
seeds quarter of an inch deep plant
spacing should be six inches apart and
row spacing 12 inches apart
cilantro is one of those plants that
does not like to be transplanted because
it develops a tap root so if you do want
to transplant cilantro you can use the
rain cutter idea
you can also grow cilantro in containers
or pots as well
next you can direct some root vegetables
in your garden in fall
or autumn and the root vegetables that
grow the best in fall
are number six radish number seven
carrots number eight beets
and number nine turnips these vegetables
can be grown in fall
and in spring to grow root vegetables in
fall plant seeds at least three months
before the first frost
plant seeds of all root vegetables one
quarter of an inch deep plant spacing
should be three to four inches apart and
row spacing 12 inches apart
carrots can be planted a little closer
at two to three inches apart
radish only takes one month to harvest
so if you start planting your at least
three months before the first frost
you can do succession planting and get
at least three crops of radish before
the frost hits turnips take
2 months to harvest and both carrots and
beets take 3 months to harvest
number 10 lettuce lettuce likes cool
weather and it will bolt in warm weather
so plant lettuce seeds and fall as soon
as the temperature drops below 80 degree
fahrenheit plant lettuce is
quarter of an inch deep and both plant
spacing and row spacing should be 12
inches apart
you can harvest lettuce seeds as the
plant is growing and you can also
harvest a whole head of lettuce in about
two to three months depending on the
variety
number 11 spinach spinach can also be
grown in spring or in fall
to grow spinach and fall plant spinach
cheese at least two months before the
first frost which could be in september
or october depending on your zone
plant spinach seeds one quarter of an
inch deep both plant spacing and row
spacing should be 12 inches apart
you can start harvesting spinach leaves
as soon as they're big enough to eat
which is about 30 to 40 days after
planting
number 12 kale to grow kale in fall
plant klc's at least three to four
months before the first frost which is
august
or september depending on your zone kale
is frost hardy and can tolerate frost
very well so even if you plant kale a
little bit later in october that will
work as well
plant kale seed is about quarter of an
inch deep plant spacing should be 12
inches apart and row spacing 18 inches
apart
once the kale leaves develop about six
to eight sets of leaf you can start
harvesting kale leaves leaving at least
three to four sets of leaves
number 13 swiss chard swiss chard also
makes a really good fall vegetable you
can start growing swiss chard about two
to three months before the first frost
which is usually august or september
depending on your zone
seed depth should be half an inch deep
plant spacing 12 inches apart and row
spacing anywhere from 18 to 24 inches
apart just like kale you can start
harvesting swiss chard leaves as soon as
the plant has about six to seven sets of
leaves leaving at least three to four
sets of leaves
if you want smaller babies fish or
leaves you can start harvesting leaves
about
30 days after planting if you want
bigger and mature leaves you can start
harvesting leaves 45 to 60 days after
planting
number 14 mustard mustard is really good
to saute along with spinach
you can start growing mustard in fall at
least two to four months before the
first frost which is anywhere from
august to october
plant mustard seed is half an inch deep
plant spacing should be three inches
apart and row spacing nine inches apart
this will yield the maximum harvest as
the mustard plants are growing
top of the flowers to encourage the
plant to grow more leaves
you can start harvesting mussel leaves
in about one and a half to two months
after planting
when harvesting mustard you don't have
to get rid of the mustard flowers since
mustard flowers are also edible number
15
fenugreek you can buy fenugreek seeds
from online store or even a spice store
before planting first soak the seeds in
water for two hours
plant the seeds half inch deep plant
spacing can be anywhere from one to
three inches apart and row spacing 12
inches apart
after two months the whole bed starts to
fill in and you can start harvesting
fenugreek at this time
fenugreek will keep coming back and keep
producing a lot more leaves
until the frost hits few other
vegetables that deserve honorable
mention to grow in fall or autumn
are broccoli cabbage and cauliflower
however
these are a little bit harder to grow as
they're more susceptible to
pests and diseases if you want to give
these a try they're also a very good
addition to the garden
i really hope you enjoyed this video and
i'll see you in another video
