In segment one Joey and Holly talk about getting your fall garden ready to go
Planting for fall
Gardening is not over when labor day weekend comes
Note: Find out when your first average frost date is in your area
Fall like spring planting are going to be plants that do not like the heat
you need to start many of your late-season crops in the peak of summer. In most regions, Itis ok to start fall crops in the hot time of year as the days get shorter and cooler they will grow great
Fall (cool weather crops) can handle a frost but not a hard freeze
Know the "days to maturity" of the crops your are planting
Yes you can direct sow crops in the fall that you would normal start indoors in the spring ( Note this can be some what hard as the seeds may dry out verse starting them in a shady area on your porch in a starter try)
Have a plan where you will plant
Will it be where summer crop was harvested or do you have an open spot you didn't plant? Are you using new grow bags or containers
What can you plant
Beets - 70 days to harvest
Carrots 70 days to harvest
Broccoli 85 to 100 days
Lettuses 45 days plant later
Radishes 30 days plant later
Spinach 45 days plant later
Garlic plant Oct harvest late june Will talk more about garlic in a few weeks
Turnips 60 day t
Rutabagas 90 days
Peas 70 -80
Calufilower 50-100 days based on variety
Swiss chard 50 days
Kale 30-50 days
In segment two Joey and Holly talk about Powdery mildew
(what is it)
Powdery mildew is one of the easier plant diseases to identify, as its symptoms are quite distinctive. Infected plants display white powdery spots on the leaves and stems. The lower leaves are the most affected, but the mildew can appear on any above-ground part of the plant. As the disease progresses, the spots get larger
commonly affected plants include cucurbits (squash, pumpkins, cucumbers, melons), nightshades (tomatoes, eggplants, peppers), roses, and legumes (beans, peas).
HOW DOES POWDERY MILDEW SPREAD?
Powdery mildew spores typically drift into your garden with the wind, but if you’ve had powdery mildew occur in the past, new outbreaks may also come from dormant spores in old vegetative material or weeds nearby.
Unlike many other fungal diseases, powdery mildew thrives in warm (60-80°F / 15-27°C), dry climates, though it does require fairly high relative humidity (i.e., humidity around the plant) to spread. In cooler, rainy areas, it does not spread as well, and it is also slowed down by temperatures higher than 90°F (32°C). It tends to affect plants in shady areas more than those in direct sun, too.
What can u do
1. Space plants so they do not touch
3. Keep a look out
You can cut off up to 25% of effective areas (careful when caring it away)
Watering from overhead can help to wash spores off leaves. Note, however, that wet foliage can often contribute to the development of other common diseases, so it’s best not to rely on this as a prevention tactic. Only early in the day so the leaves can dry off
There are chemical you can use
Mix 1 teaspoon baking soda in 1 quart of water. Spray plants thoroughly, as the solution will only kill fungus that it comes into contact with.
Vinegar – the acetic acid of vinegar can control powdery mildew. A mixture of 2-3 tablespoons of common apple cider vinegar, containing 5% acetic acid mixed with a gallon of water does job. However, too much vinegar can burn plants
You can do this before you even see any problems

6. How can we find more out about you

Call in Moles and voles and cut worms
call in planting grass after pine tree has been removed
Q new gardener here I have two questions, One how will I know when I can harvest my onions? And two do I need to cage potatoes, they are getting tall and leaning?
A: Onion can be harvested at anytime but for bulb harvest you want to wait till the top of the plant falls over on crimps the stem it is done growing at that point regardless of the bulb size. Potatoes do not need to be caged they are strong stemmed and even if they do fall over they will be fine no worries
Q: I have a question about canning Mrs Wages salsa. I am new to canning and it says for pint jars.. could I use half pint jars instead just process the same time? Thank u
A: Yes you can do that.
