Thinking about planting a fall garden? Start now — not in September.
In this video, I walk you through exactly what I’m planting here in Louisville, KY (Zone 6b/7a), and when you should start your own fall crops. From carrots and beets to broccoli and kale, timing is everything when it comes to fall gardening. I’ll show you how to work backwards from your first frost date, which crops can handle a freeze, and how to adjust for slower growth as the days get shorter.
🌐 My zone: 6b / 7a – First frost: ~October 29
⇻ What I cover:
– What to plant in July and August for fall
– When to start brassicas (like broccoli and cabbage)
– Which crops survive frost
– Fall planting schedule for Zones 6–7
– Mistakes to avoid when planning your fall garden
⇻ Garden Tools & Resources I Recommend
– Favorite Gardening Book: amzn.to/3Q6hDxI
– Hori Hori: amzn.to/4gtk8Vn
– Favorite pruners: amzn.to/3QeniS8
– Bucket Organizer: amzn.to/4gwNX7t
