I'm not sure if I can do fall planting. I have carrot and radish seeds. It gets way to hot during summer to try and grow them. But, it has only recently within the last couple of days started cooling down enough. I am growing in fabric pots; so, am not sure how protective they would be from frost. This is my first year for growing any kind of veggies since my hospitalization ended on March 1. I am happy with getting so many cucumbers and tomatoes from just a few plants. I've checked different sources online and it seems that the first frost for my area can be anytime from the end of September through sometime in October. I remember one year that it snowed on Halloween.
Maybe I should wait until spring to do my radishes and carrots. What do you think?

This is my biggest weakness. Succession. I almost need someone telling me when to start and transplant and harvest. We are a busy family but I'm trying to grow as much as I can in 4 raised beds and a no till bed I created this year. I plan to freeze dry everything I grow. Trying to keep up our supply of food incase a famine. I really need help with how to succession plant because I'm limited on room. I'm still learning so adding more beds is just too much. We are a family of 4. Any advice is welcome!

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 do have a fall gardening question. I live in the south and I'm struggling to find information on how high the temperatures can be to transplant out my leafy greens in the fall without them bolting. It's mid-September and still in the low 90s. What high temperatures am I looking for to move these fall plant starts outside?

Thanks Kevin. Just this weekend Im planning out my fall garden. I pretty much figured out like you are teaching by working my way back from our projected first frost. I really like your spreadsheet so I froze the frame and built it. It will be very useful in planning my years of future gardens as well as a look back. Thanks.

I absolutely love this video! Trying to create a plan for planting dates is something Ive struggled with a lot because I dont 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! Im super excited to put it into practice!

I love your spread sheet and board chart you showed. I knew to do that this summer but I write everything down so I got too busy to keep it up and then got lost. I forgot what some tomatoes and herbs were. Im going try to get it done this week. Im just not good with that sort of thing on the computer. Thank you again

epic gardening You could make a spreadsheet like this for your viewers, with common plants with the values entered. All they'd have to do is enter their last frost date and everything would adjust accordingly. Somebody has had to done this already. If not I may do it myself.

Is the goal to harvest your plants before the frost? I live in Zone 10a and use a spreadsheet from Next Level Gardening and was going to start seeds in Oct. and plant in Nov. Should I be starting seeds now so they go in the garden by Oct.

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.

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.

Thank you for sharing your spreadsheet. I am very analytical and have created my own spreadsheet but I am drowning in information so I have tried different layouts etc. I can't wait to try yours!
