Cool Weather Garden

Let's take this week to think about our cool weather garden for this fall. The end of August will be here before you know it so we will prepare now.

We have written a lot of pages about fall gardens so there are other articles on this website for you to read.

Cool Weather Garden - 6/12-6/18/2023

Monday, June 12, 2023

Hello! It is currently 3pm and 96° Fahrenheit. It is supposed to be 102°. Early this morning, I got up and took care of all of the animals. Then David and I took Pamela and Sue Ellen into Jourdanton to be groomed. While they were getting clean, we picked up some things we needed as well as some prescriptions.

Meanwhile, back at the farm, our people were picking and picking and picking. I don't know how many baskets they picked but I will be dealing with it all for a long time.

There were blackberries, which I washed and put in the freezer. Then I washed all of the strawberries and I will cut them up tonight. There were two pails full. Then there was a pail of goji berries. I washed them and now they are in the food dehydrator.

I went through about four buckets of tomatoes. One giant tomato weighed 23 ounces.

I washed all of the tomatoes, picking out the ones that were split or rotting. Yes, they picked them all and brought them into my house. I gathered a pail of those and took them out to the chickens who loved them. I now have a kitchen windowsill full of unripened tomatoes because they picked the green ones, too. Fun times.

Next there are a lot of yellow squashes and some white squashes. I have not done anything with them yet. There is a huge basket of bell peppers, some rotten that I have to deal with and two full baskets of grapes. Why pick them all at once? I have no place to store them. We still have grapes in the store for sale from last week and yellow squash.

If it wasn't so hot, I would have started pulling up my potatoes but I wasn't home and I have no idea where we will put them all.

Our baby chicks are now four weeks old and just had their first taste of tomatoes, just a few small ones. I think they enjoyed them very much.

Our nine week old Leghorns also enjoyed them. They are spending lots of time in the shade during this horrible heat. Soon, we will be putting them in the big hen house. They need to get a little bigger first so the big hens don't attack them. We will do that by putting the Leghorns in a cage inside of the big hen house for about a week, allowing the hens to get used to them and then let them out. That should be happening sometime this summer because they are quickly outgrowing the little house where they are staying now.

The heat is truly miserable outside. Alexa and my computer both say it is 99° right now at 4:45pm. It is just about time to close up shop. I think I will wash a bunch of grapes and make my own raisins. I have been reading about how to do it. That would be great. I love raisins. If we could put up a bunch, I would be happy.

Tonight, I spent the evening cutting and freezing two pails full of strawberries. Then I took stems off of a lot of grapes. I have enough for two cookie sheets full of grapes to turn into raisins.

Cool Weather Garden (Plant Your Fall Garden)

Hopefully by now, you have been able to harvest some of your spring and summer garden, even if it is just cutting a few herbs to use in a recipe. Here in South Central Texas, we have been harvesting since February. We have been using rosemary, sage, and mint from the greenhouse. Our Purple Passion asparagus has been coming up since February. I cook it almost every single day and we enjoy it raw as well. Our green onions are ready to be pulled up starting on April 1. I have already used them. We have been picking strawberries since the beginning of March.

We have been picking tomatoes off of the plants in the greenhouse all winter long. If you have a hydroponics grow tower, you can harvest your garden all year long like we have been doing. Back at the beginning of March 2023, I planted seven types of lettuce in the grow tower and I harvested it on Friday, March 31. Now more is starting to grow. In the greenhouse, David has some different peppers growing in his hydroponics system and so we have harvested some peppers as well. If you diversify your planting, you should be able to harvest your garden almost year round.

Well, here it is June 12, 2023 and now that we have 100° plus days, we need to harvest what we can once it is ready and throw our efforts to our cool weather gardens. Fall will be happening in about 70 days or so and we need to be ready. Let's see if we are ready for our cool weather garden.

Tuesday, June 13, 2023

Good afternoon! It's 2pm and I have been playing Susy Homemaker all day long. They brought so much produce in yesterday that it has taken me since then until right now to empty all four hods and seven pails of produce. It was ridiculous. Now the squash, half the grapes, tomatoes, and peppers are still sitting on my island but today I made and burned raisins, made tomato puree and put it in the freezer, cut up peppers to eat, and washed everything else.

There are ugly white spiders in all of the grapes and they show up every time I go into the grapes. I baked the raisins in the oven for six hours at 225°. They still were not quite done. Then I put the heat up to 300° because I read online that you can do that but it changes the colors of the grapes. It did and then it burned some. Also, I had two cookie sheets in the oven when I probably should have had just one. I will try again in the morning and this time leave the temperature at 225° and bake them for six hours and that is it. And just one cookie sheet in at a time.

I spent all day on my feet and my lower back hurts so now I am working from my home office. I guess because it is just too hot to think about getting out in the garden that we are not having visitors out here. Now is the time to get the seeds for your fall or cool weather garden, while we have a good selection of fall seeds. Did you even know you can plant a beautiful fall garden here in South Central Texas? It will be your best garden because once the weather cools down, your cool weather garden will keep on producing until the frost.

The high was 101°. It was awful. I went out to take care of the chickens this afternoon and had a chicken emergency. The door on the Leghorn's coop broke so we had to move them. Matt got a large dog kennel and we put it in the big coop, away from the hens. I put food and water and wood shavings and we began moving the Leghorns. Foghorn and one of the hens escaped but Matt got the hen, delivered her to the cage and then got Foghorn. He finally got all nine moved to cooler safety. We will get the little coop door fixed and use that for isolation purposes if one of the chickens gets sick.

Meanwhile, back at the coop, I was planning to move the Leghorns in another two weeks to give them enough time to get a little bigger. The reason we put them in a kennel inside the chicken coop is so that the big hens get used to them for about a week. The hens are quite a bit bigger than my almost ten week old Leghorns so they would pick on them if we just tossed them in with the big girls. The Leghorns are right by the A/C so they should be comfortable compared to being out in the wickedly hot sun. I was completely drenched by the time we got them all moved.

Cool Weather Garden

I know that a lot of the northern United States has been covered for a lot longer than usual in snow which means that you have planted later than usual for your summer garden. This means you will harvest your garden later than usual. For the most part, you won't have planted until May and June which means that from June through September, you will harvest your summer gardens. Of course, if you are up North, you won't get much in your cool weather gardens before it is too cold. Maybe some quick roots, spinach, Swiss chard, beets, and carrots but the frost will be coming soon after Halloween.

When I was a kid, we would get tomatoes, peppers, and cucumbers in the middle of summer. My grandparents would start canning tomatoes and making pickles in the middle of the summer. My mother's parents canned a lot of stuff, every time they harvested, they would can so many things, especially on the weekend because my grandmother worked during the week out of the house. My grandfather always had a large, beautiful garden filled with vegetables that I had not even heard of.

By June, here in Texas, we are done harvesting summer vegetables. Back East and up North, most places are planting in May and June. For instance, in June, you can start harvesting greens and peas as well as your pole beans and bush beans. Some of your herbs may be ready, depending on when you picked them. In Texas, it normally gets to be 95° and higher which means just about everything stops growing until you put in your cool weather garden in late August and early September.

Right now, in June, we are currently harvesting goji berries, grapes, strawberries, blackberries, potatoes, tomatoes, cucumbers, squash, zucchini, and peppers of various kinds. The asparagus stopped months ago. It is too hot for too many other things to grow right now. The melons are starting to bloom and grow as are the gourds and malabar spinach. It is time to plant tomatoes indoors for the cool weather garden. It is also time to plant pumpkins for your cool weather garden right now outside, if you want them for fall decorating and Halloween.

Wednesday, June 14, 2023

Well, good morning and happy Wednesday! I got out nice and early to feed the animals, about 6:30am. Well, the leghorns were moved last night because the door to their coop came off the hinge. I did not put the lids on their food and water because they hang on the side and I thought it would be easier for me. Boy, was that dumb. They made potty in both containers so I had to clean them out and refill them. While I was doing that, one of the girls escaped inside of the big chicken coop.

I just could not catch her. I thought Matt could help me and then I checked my phone. It wasn't even 7am yet which means he was still at home about 14 miles away. I was hungry so I knew I had to do something. I grabbed the net we have and finally caught her with that. I let the hens out and they did not want to come out in their yard after all of that commotion. LOL!

By the time I was done with all of the animals, it was just after 7am and I was drenched with humidity. Of course, I had to come in and clean up and change.

Now, I have eaten. David made a nice breakfast. I have put up a few social media posts. Time to put on some makeup and go up front, open the store and feed the fish. Y'all come out to the farm and see us. Pick some zinnias to take home. Better yet, buy some zinnia seeds and plant them now. They love the heat. Zinnias will last through your cool weather garden and will go away when the first frost hits. They will come back early next spring because they drop their seeds.

A warm breeze blew all day and we had good cloud cover so it was not as hot as they said it would be.

It is 3:40pm and is only 94° instead of 106° like they showed over the weekend for today. We have had some good cloud cover all day but no chance of rain. No customers. It is just too hot.

---

David received an email from a customer wanting us to tell her about this milkweed that she ordered. She insists it is ours. We don't have labels like this or use plastic. We use paper envelopes with our logo and our name proudly displayed on our envelopes. Also, we put the number of our seeds on almost all of our packages.

David let her know this is not ours but she insists that it is. In fact, we get a lot of this sort of email. Some of the packaging will say the name of the seed company but customers still insist that it is ours and they are usually complaining that the seeds did not grow. The funny thing is they never believe that they are not our seeds. They cannot provide an order number or give us a name of a customer in our system. They just want their money back for something they did not buy from us. They need to go to the seed company where they bought it from. This happens almost daily. We sell our own seeds. We do not sell for other seed companies.

Here is another good one. We understand that prices on food, gas, and just about everything has gone way up. Our seed prices are still $3.95 for most packages. Postage has gone up a lot and a lot of customers tell us we are being greedy to pass that increase on to them. $3.95 really does not give us a lot of profit once you consider the cost of the seeds, envelopes, plastic bags, printer ink, mailing envelope and paper to print out the order and the mailing address. Plus, we have employees to pay, utilities, property taxes and many other taxes that only business owners pay. Yet they think we owe them free postage.

It used to be that we could mail a three ounce envelope for between $3.50 and $4.50 anywhere in the United States that would hold maybe up to six seed packages. Now, it is over $4 on up to more than $5, depending on where the seeds are going. So if you buy one pack of seeds for $3.95 and postage costs $4.60 to mail it to you, we are losing money on every order of one pack.

So a woman contacted me on the business Facebook page this morning telling me she is going to start her first garden as an adult. She wants me to mail her samples of some of our seeds for free and pay the postage. First off, we don't have samples of our seeds. We have seeds available for purchase. This is our livelihood. It is how we make money to pay our bills and taxes and eat. We don't give out seeds and we don't pay USPS to send our seeds to customers for free. What on earth is wrong with people? Why doesn't this woman get a job so she can buy her seeds? She can go to Walmart and get some seeds for a buck or $2. Last time I was at Walmart, they had loads of seeds just sitting there for cheap, much cheaper than ours.

Now this evening, David told me this one. He got an email today from a man who would like to possibly buy our papaya seeds. But first, he wants us to mail him one of our heavy papayas so he can taste it and see if he likes it and he wants us to pay to mail a heavy papaya to him. What? All that so he can pay us $3.95 for a pack of seeds? By the time we go to the store and buy him a papaya and then pay the post office to mail it to him, we will really be in the hole but he doesn't see it that way. You just can't make this stuff up.

Also today, some woman who gets $150 an hour to consult with customers about their gardens wants us to give her a discount if she buys seeds from us. So she gets $150 an hour and we get $3.95 a pack and she wants a discount. Wow!

See, we went into business so we could earn money to pay our bills and buy food for us, enough to replace the money we earned when we worked for other people. Our seeds are fresh, heirlooms that, if planted correctly, will provide you with a lot of food to eat but they don't see it that way.

Back when we had our first store at Trader's Village in San Antonio on the weekends, our seed packets were $2.95 a piece. People would come into our little shop carrying these fruity alcoholic drinks that were sold across from us for $15 a drink. $15 for some juice with alcohol that they would pee out but they had the nerve to tell us that our seeds were too expensive, seeds that could produce a lot of food for them. We still marvel over the many people who would tell us that each weekend while they sipped on their drinks that cost them five times what a pack of our seeds cost.

There have been many other examples of people wanting us to give them everything for free. Almost every day we get new examples. It is mind boggling to me. I have never asked any company to give me something for free. I honestly didn't know it was a thing. Growing up, if we couldn't afford something, we did without. We never asked for a handout. I would never have that much nerve or expect people to pay my way. I am sorry but if you can't afford $3.95, you probably need to find a new job that pays better.

---

The amount of produce our people found outside is just ridiculous. I still have so much from Monday and now there is so much more. It is now 7pm and 95°.

Cool Weather Garden

If you are back East or up North, you can start planting in July for an early fall harvest of broccoli, cauliflower, beans, beets, carrots, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, cucumbers, pumpkins, and winter squash in late October. You will continue to harvest your garden all summer long but you can plant things because the heat is not oppressive back there.

Here in Texas, we start most of the above listed seeds for our cool weather garden in late August for November and December harvesting. It is just too hot during June, July, and August for most things to grow. Okra, gourds, and zinnias seem to love the heat and they grow well as long as you keep water on them. Here, we don't get much summer rain like they do back East.

I have had a lot of questions about growing spinach in the heat and in cool weather gardens. Yes, spinach typically does better in cooler weather. However, you will find that the Bloomsdale Long Standing, the Malabar Red and Green and the Noble Giant are heat tolerant. Try them out.

Thursday, June 15, 2023

Good Thursday morning. I got up early and took the dogs out at 6am. My glasses immediately fogged up and stayed that way until I got back inside. It was awful.

About 15 minutes later, I went out to take care of the outdoor animals. By the time I came back in, I was sopping wet, with sweat streaming down my face. Nacho and his crew arrived, attacking the yard with four mowers all at once while I was out there.

Now Nacho and his team are extending our parking lot plant area so we will be selling more plants instead of less.

For the fourth morning in a row, we are blessed with cloud cover and a breeze so it doesn't feel as horrible as it really is.

It is now 4pm. The cloud cover is gone. The humidity is through the roof. Baby, it is hot outside! Matt took ice cubes out to all of our chicks a little while ago. Encino Pest Control just left. They sprayed the business and our home this time. Pastor Jerry came by to pick up some garden fresh vegetables for himself and some for the ladies who had to move two hours away right now. They are working on getting a new home since theirs was destroyed by fire less than a month ago. He will be taking the veggies to them soon. I also put a little David's Garden Seeds® fudge in the box for them to enjoy.

I just sent out a newsletter for David's Garden Seeds. Now I need to get one out for this website.

I finally got the Mrs. David's Garden Seeds® newsletter out. I made a roast in the Instant Pot and Matt stayed for dinner. We enjoyed the roast and watched a Perry Mason movie.

Friday, June 16, 2023

Happy Friday, everyone! It is now 2:15pm and the temperature is 99°. I got up early and took care of all of the animals before 7am. I went back in the house drenched so, yes, the humidity is still with us, possibly worse than it was yesterday.

I had to get cleaned up and dressed. At 9am, we left for my doctor's appointment to see about my crazy blood pressure. The last time I was there, three weeks ago, my blood pressure had come down to 172/102 from two weeks previous when it was sky high even though I was on blood pressure medication. So he doubled all of my new medications that he had put me on.

Today, my blood pressure was 172/82 so the bottom number is good. Now he is raising the dosage of the two meds more and adding in a third. I took the prescriptions to Walgreens and they said some time this afternoon. They just called and they have two ready but not the third so we still have to wait. Here, going to Walgreens is a 50 mile round trip. I can't believe we have to go back. Remember when they used to fill your prescriptions while you waited, just a few years back? Now they wouldn't dream of it. Whatever happened to good customer service? So I am waiting for them to call about the third medication and then we will go.

I got the medicines at 7pm tonight when they were finally ready. I can't take the new one because it is too close to bedtime. It makes you pee a lot. So it has to wait until morning.

I had to rush out and water all of my trees and plants this evening because the outdoor guy did not water the stuff in my area as David told him to do. A lot of the plants there now are David's plants and two reaper plants which are David's are now dead from the heat.

Cool Weather Garden

One of the biggest questions I get at the store from new gardeners is how to know when to harvest your garden. It is not that complicated. Get a paper calendar that you can write on. First mark the date that you plant something on the calendar. Every seed packet from David's Garden Seeds® gives the amount of days it takes until a plant is ready to be harvested. For example, let's say the pack says about 60 days until ready to eat. Count forward on your calendar for 60 days from the day you planted it and the day you harvest your garden for that crop should be about 60 days, give or take.

Do this with everything you plant. Of course, you will keep an eye on the things you have planted, watering, pulling weeds, checking for bugs or eggs on your plants. You do not just plant the seeds and walk away.

When you harvest your garden, you need to know that some things are better when they are picked small, not gigantic. You are going for edible food, not a woody baseball bat. Case in point, when we lived in Michigan, one of the ladies at church was a big gardener. She liked to grow zucchini and then bring them in to the church and give them out. She handed us a zucchini the size of a baseball bat and told us to enjoy it. That was nice of her but enjoy it? That zucchini was way past its prime. It was all woody textured with giant seeds inside. This is not how a zucchini from the garden is supposed to be.

Most zucchini should be the right color and be about six inches long. It should be firm to touch. Pick one and test it out. Don't leave the zucchini on the vine because they can grow too big in just a day or two. The goal is tender, delicious zucchini that tastes good for your family to enjoy. Check them every day once they begin putting on fruit. Not just zucchini, but everything. Don't be afraid to harvest your garden when it is time. On many plants, the more you pick, the more the plant will produce.

If you need help with starting your seeds, here is a great article on Germination that David wrote.

When your plants have been completely picked, you can pull up the plants and put them on your compost pile. Every serious gardener has a compost pile. Your compost pile should have a certain amount of grass clippings and leaves. It is fine to add the no longer producing or dead plants from your garden as well.

Here is an article on composting that I wrote to help you if composting is new to you. Don't throw away your kitchen scraps and lawn scraps after you mow. Use them all including coffee grounds and eggshells to start your compost pile.

For your cool weather garden, you should be planning what you want to plant. Make a list so you don't forget anything. Order your seeds now so there is still a good selection of what you want for your cool weather garden. Here is a link to some marvelous cool weather seeds.

Saturday, June 17, 2023

Happy Saturday. It is miserably humid. I got out there before 7am to feed and water all of the animals. I also did some extra things like giving wood shavings and cleaning out the hen feeders as the hens kick a lot of dirt into them. I cleaned out the water bottles as well, all filled with rocks and hay and mud. Chickens are dirty but they are fun.

So far, the leghorns are doing okay although the hens still don't like them. The baby chicks are doing well, enjoying themselves in the nice big coop. They are so cute. No one fixed the broken coop, even though I told people about it. The galvanized tub that we used for a brooder is also still sitting by the feed shed. We took the chicks out of it two weeks ago. Hopefully, the manager, Matt, who is here working today, will take it up, even though it is not his job.

Feeding the chickens today, I noticed that one of my blue feeding buckets was gone. I looked all over. Someone (not David or Matt) actually went into my feed shed and helped himself to it. So I went in and asked David about it. He said that a certain someone took it to put vegetables in and that it is in the commercial kitchen. I found it. We have five large hods and seven pails for the harvest. There is no need to go into my feed shed and take buckets that are mine. There are orange and yellow buckets all over for the workers to use. Leave my blue buckets alone.

Yes, it is nice to have help and we pay them well to do a job. But them doing a job should have nothing to do with taking things that are not theirs to take. David provides plenty of tools for them to work with. They should not bother my stuff and they have been told before.

I just finished cleaning and refilling the pond. See, if you think that David, Matt, and I don't do any work and that we just complain, you are wrong. We do the lion's share of the work around here. We plant, weed, water, harvest, and process things as well as run our business. We work hard but it is a big place with a lot to do so we can't do it all.

Now, I am going to start pulling and filling seed orders. Thank you to everyone who has ordered from us. Don't forget that we are having a 25% off sale right now so there are tons of orders. Monday is a federal holiday so the mail will not run. Your seed orders will be a little late because of the USPS holiday.

Matt and I pulled all of the orders that had been printed and I closed quite a few. At 3pm, I stopped and went swimming. The water was miserably hot as the temperature was over 100°. I got the eggs and took care of the animals.

I made stuffed peppers and eggs with cheese inside of blanco luogo summer squash for dinner. The Svengoolie movie was something to do with demons. It was a little freaky. We had never seen it before. The movie was from 1957, made in England.

Cool Weather Garden

So when should you start planting your cool weather garden? We are in south central Texas so we start planting the last week of August for most things. Yes, it is still hot but if you don't start your seeds then, you won't have time to get your plants established.

If you want pumpkins in time for fall decorating, the latest you want to plant them would be the beginning of July. Pumpkins take about 90 days, even the mini ones, so you don't have much time before they need to be in the ground. Order your pumpkin seeds now before you forget.

If you want cool weather garden tomatoes, you will need to start them indoors by the beginning of July under grow lights or in a temperature controlled (that is air conditioned) greenhouse. It is way too hot in July here for tomatoes to form outside.

Sunday, June 18, 2023

Happy Father's Day! Today was busy and so hot. I believe the high was 108°. I got up, fed all of the animals, indoors and out. Then we started cleaning up the house because David invited his friend, Patrick, visiting from Washington state on business, for dinner.

We went to church. The piano player was not there so there was no music, just a capella in several keys...A lot of folks were missing today.

We came home to lunch cooked and dishes going in the dishwasher. Our son, Matt, came over and cleaned up and grilled steaks for Father's Day. Thank you so much, Matt!

We watched a Perry Mason movie and then he left. David and I ran to Walmart for some dinner supplies. The place was packed. I thought people were supposed to be spending time with their fathers and kids but they were all at Walmart. It was so miserably hot out.

We got home and started prepping things. Then I had to go out and feed the animals again and get eggs. I was totally drenched by the time I got back inside so I had to clean up and change and then cook dinner. Matt came back and grilled steaks again.

We had a good visit with Pat and he brought apple pie, ice cream, and chocolate covered strawberries. He left around 8:30pm because he had a 90 minute drive back to where he is staying.

Cool Weather Garden

When you harvest your garden, watch where you step. Some plants like melons, cucumbers, gourds, squash, and zucchini tend to vine all over the place, making it easy to step on some fruits you don't see. It is easy to damage fruits as well as the actual plant. Here in Texas in the fall, you have time to grow all of these if you start early enough. Count back from your first frost date. If you don't know what that is, you can look it up online at Farmer's Almanac. Then count backwards the number of days found on each seed packet so you know when to plant. I would add another two weeks as a grace period in case the frost is early. Remember, these dates are guidelines, no precise frost dates.

When you harvest your garden, don't yank hard or you may end up pulling off half of the plant. Normally, ripe fruits will easily come off but sometimes, they don't. If that is the case, have some gardening shears with you in your basket or hod and trim the fruit off at the stem, being careful not to cut through other parts of the plant.

If you have pulled up carrots, beets, turnips, radishes or rutabagas, do yourself a favor and hose off the dirt before bringing them inside. You may want to cut the green off of rooted plants and place them on the compost bin if you are not going to eat them. If you have chickens, they would love to eat the greens.

If you are in the southern part of the United States, plan to overwinter some roots in your cool weather garden. The cooler weather adds a layer of sweetness to roots that you will love. Think carrots, beets, turnips, parsnips, rutabaga, onions, shallots, and salsify.  We normally plant ours again in November and pull them up in February and March and they are so good.
