Why I Am Starting My Fall Garden NOW | Veggies, Herbs, & Flowers!

I think you can braid hardneck garlic by soaking the stem/neck atleast thats how we do it in croatia but im not sure if it works for all types of garlic...

I live in San Diego on the coast. I have certain plants come back each year. Fennel (prolific), broccoli raab, calendula, cosmos, even most of tomatoes re-seed each year. Love living here! Endless supply of food. A while back, to save water, we collected our sink water in a dish pan. We have successfully grown peppers and tomatoes in our potted plants because of the wash/rinse water from our sink. Thanks for the video. Maybe we will try more flowers. Love the color!

REALLY appreciated the in depth discussion of varieties. I've seen a lot of these "what to plant for fall" videos and this one was actually worth my time.

I liked the long format video. I am using that idea for my 1020 seed trays, but I may use mosquito netting to deter bugs as an add-on.

Love-in-a-mist makes nigella seeds. They are an spice used in Indian food. You can eat the flowers too. They will self seed and be a nuisance if you let it.

Love the long versions great info throughout. You are a great teacher.
Thank you!!!❤❤

I grew 'Twister' cauliflower and was so excited to get beautiful heads...until they started getting pink fuzz on them. Looked it up; it's called 'ricing', caused by heat (PNW Coast here, so nope) or moisture (more likely). I followed a suggestion I saw online and clipped the leaves over the head. It helped some, but I still ended up harvesting heads when they hadn't reached full size as soon as I noticed the pink creeping in. Hopefully, this helps someone else avoid it from the get-go. Any advice is appreciated.

Your channel is amazing ! As a new Gardner your are loading me up with valuable knowledge! Thank you God bless

I've tried to grow White Lisbon spring onions for 3y. Never succeeded.

Hello Jaques! It’s killing me as I sit here watching this video and going through my seeds and being So Excited for next weeks Heirloom fair up in Ventura ! Are you guys going?? I’m going with my son and his best friend. Any advice? 💚🌱💚

I like these longer videos

I love these seed starting videos and love the long and short versions.

I like the long ones, I put videos like this on in the background while I'm doing menial tasks in the house 👍🏼 got most of my fall seeds started in 8a

I had watched all your videos and followed your introductions, yet my seedlings always died. I'm not sure what im doing wrong. Sometimes the seed doesn't germinate at , i purchase from botanical seeds 😢 they do germinate when i direct saw 😊

Jacques, thank you for touching on cold hardiness in spite of not living in a cold climate. As a zone 4 gardener, I greatly appreciate it. 😊

Love it Keep it up man

how to pronounce lobelia: low·beel·yuh

Thank you for a lovely video. It's always a pleasure to see how your beautiful garden is progressing.

The king Henry and Johnny jump up violas are very beautiful too. I put them in pots for spring here in WI zone 5b/6a and then I moved to in ground hoping they come back next spring. I just ordered another pack from botanical for more planting next spring

I was super lucky with my snapdragons, I just got the seed packet and popped a bunch in some cells, keeping them moist, and they sprouted with a 100% germination rate as far as I can tell. I even went and thinned them by cutting the seedlings down with scissors only leaving 3-4 per cell and they are just now looking like they are gonna bloom soon in their upgraded 3.5in pots

Longer is great videos are great

Just ordered seed trays, can’t wait to get mine 🎉😊

Long version!

hi jacques 🤗
yes! ‐ the longest videos you can tolerate. I listen to your longer videos when I'm planning my garden or during long garden work days. your voice is calming, yet motivating ‐ just what I need when there's hours of work to do. mixed in with rapid fire uploads, it's the perfect mix.
another super great garden. tfs

When do you move the seeds out of the cell if they outgrow it?

A chicory you will love. Plant it, a very hardy lettuce. Once you plant this you will grow in the spring and fall.

Jacques, you talk so much about using your vegetables and herbs in soups. Do you have any videos on soups? Where do you find your recipes? How do I use all this celery!?! Thanks!

I really appreciate how in-depth you go onto each variety..about its growth habit, how well or poorly the crop grows where you live, how it’s used in cooking. After hearing you talk about this been heavily harvesting side shoots from several broccoli- game changer for me! Extremely helpful information. Now.. I want to hear more about growing quinoa!

Is lobiela the new chamomiley? 🤭

Not sure if you’ve covered this, but HOW are you not covered in mosquito bites!?! Tips!?

Awesome video loved it 😊

Yeah Santa Cruz my hometown We grow a lot of artichokes and strawberries around here🌱💚❤️

I like the long videos too. Great to listen to while gardening

I always grow mini broccoli because it only throws off shoots and its easier for me to just harvest what I need for dinner. I also dont need to worry about the heat ruining the big head right before I go to pick it.

I like long form!

@Jacques… “Lobelia” is actually pronounced: Low-Bee-Lee-Uh (NOT: low-bee-ella) 👍

“Love-in-a-Mist” is actually an INEDIBLE Nigella variety.
However, Nigella “Sativa” seed is edible—commonly used as a spice in (East) Indian cuisine. Nigella Sativa goes by many names, including: fennel flower, nutmeg flower, Roman coriander, blackseed, black caraway, or black onion seed. I’ve tasted them all…but Nigella Sativa doesn’t taste like ANY of the aforementioned seeds.

I loved your flower suggestions, I bought the seeds as you talked about them, so I am excited to grow them this Fall. I like to take a vacation from growing veggies in the Fall, so appreciate that you talk about both!

Try Fennel Gratin - it is unbelievably delicious!!

Thanks for all the great seed ideas. I actually watched this video as I was planting my own seed trays here in zone 10a SW Florida 😊

I grow dill and fennel for the positive insects. I’ve always wanted to grow leeks, it’s a big part of French cooking, but I’ve always been afraid to.

I like the longer videos. Sometimes, I use them to fall asleep. You have a really steady and calming voice. I'll come back later and watch it again later if I miss any of it. But I've learned a lot. We don't have a lot of seed choices where I am, so seeing new and interesting plants and flowers is fun. I just tried golden beets the other day, and I actually like them. Don't tell Kevin he was right. 😂

I love his explanations!!!!! 😊

where did you find the garleek seeds? can't find them anywhere online.

Thank you, Jacques. 😊

I love that you don’t act like you know everything! Sometimes gardening can feel overwhelming because you feel like you need to know everything, so thank you for reminding me why it is fun ❤

"This plant-growing tutorial is really helpful! I'll try applying the plant care tips you shared. Thanks!"

I use to have trouble growing green onions too, until I tried the red beard bunching onions from MI Gardener. No disrespect with Botanical (as I have many of their seeds too), but the red beard have excellent germination and they actually grow well here in Southern Cali. Now I have green onions all year round! ☺👩🏽‍🌾

I love your videos and enjoy them very much.
It's really sad that I live in zone 7 and not much applies to me.

can you please do a video of kinda like this where you went through most of the vegetable seeds but noting when is the best time to plant them whether it be 6 weeks before last frost state or right after the last frost and do we germinate indoors whether it be through paper towel or soil w heating mat and if it is directly sown outdoors what do we need to do.. im so confused when to plant eggplant, tomatoes or strawberries and if it needs to be germinated in the fridge or direct sown
