In this video I’ll show you what crops you can still grow in your organic vegetable garden in September or early fall. I’m talking about cool season crops for almost any climate.

Nashville tn. Oct 24. First frost. This year blight was terrible due to rain. I am researching when to do garlic. I have never grown garlic
They are saying we are going to have a rough winter government wise this year. Wonder what that means. They say many new things are going to hit us. I don't like the word rough. Brian did you put food up from harvest?
I heard Cilantro tastes like soap to some people because of something in their genes.
In Richmond, Virginia, first frost date is around October 31.
already planted peas, lettuce and bush beans. My second planting of tomatoes are now developing fruit. Great Video!
Jacksonville FL Dec 24th is our frost date. I have bunching onions all year round. Instead of cilantro, I use culantro. It tastes just like cilantro but I find it easier to grow, and it can be used in soups without loosing it's flavor.
Arizona is a totally different ball game . I usually seed in September but this year we still have 114 degree ! Must wait .
From upstate sc, & 1st frost date is 10 November
Love cilantro but in Central California it always (Nov 19) bolts on me!!! I need to try winter planting.
#FirstFrostDate: Geneva, AL — Nov 14
Blah! 😝 I hate, hate, hate cilantro! It doesn't taste soapy to me, just tastes nasty. If someone puts it in my food, I can't even pick it out, because the flavor permeates the rest of the food. Thanks for the video though Brian. 😊
Love cilantro! What is salsa without it? Also eating cilantro aids in removing heavy (toxic) metals from the body.
My first frost is October 1… I suppose I don't have time for much but I just planted some radishes today and I think they'll be OK! I also planted some lettuce about a week ago.
You forgot carrots, here in NW Louisiana I grow the through the winter for early spring harvest.
I'm in east central Alabama (7a/b) and 1st frost date is showing 10/29
Cilantro tastes minty to me
Here in greater SanFran (Zone 9) … (said) frost date 12/10 and frost-free (2/1) … I really doubt this is a truth – because we barely (and rarely !!!) get down to 35-39 (40s with maybe some wind chill). "Frost temperature" is considered frost on the surface at 32F. We have neighborhood apples, figs, avocados, cherries, plums, olives, oranges, lemons, limes, loquat, kumquat, … all year long without issues – some places 100+ years long. So there really is no valid truth that greater SanFran (other than potential northern Marin county) would ever see frosts. In my 18+ years here, never seen frost … fog, rain, wind, glaring heat, yes, … frost no.
So know your grow zone, but also the real seasonal temps of your area. Here we could plant anything – onions, garlic, chives, shallots, scallions, radish, daikon radish, beets, carrots, parsnips, turnips, rutabagas, broccoli, broccolini/chinese rabe, cauliflower, jicama, potatoes, sweet potatoes, yams, cabbage, kale, collards, tree kale, tree collards, tree lettuce, … of course, they will need warm soil to warm up and then sprout, while the hardy brassicas will fluorish beyond expectations. In our local raised-bed community food garden, people have grown (to my astonishment) 6+ foot broccoli, cauliflower, beets that looked like tree burls (!), so a grow zone or frost date for (coastal) areas is not always accurate. Roots, tubers, bulbs, brassica (sulfur) species, all growing fine – without greater care and fertilization.
I just paid $1.18 for a bunch of cilantro at the store. I love cilantro and this is the most I've ever paid for it. It's usually around .68 Cents/bunch. What's going on with cilantro?!
Southern California, December- January, sometimes.
I grow cilantro only because my bride likes it
@NextLevelGardening Sir how long into the Fall can I grow cucumbers please??
Thanks for sharing Brian. I really don’t care for Cilantro. Not sure why.
Excellent information. Can you consider doing a short video that shows when it's time to get rid of a crop to make way for the next? Not the mechanics, but how do you know when to stop waiting for the last couple of cucumbers and rip them out so the next crop has a chance? It's a tough call. Or maybe not. Thanks, Brian.
Planted turnips, squash, green beans, cucumbers, carrits, sugar snap peas, cabbage, & cilantro. Planning to plant onions and garlic soon.
Cilantro baby, cilantro!
I'm in Crestline CA and first frost date is October 25. So I have 45 days left.

I am in the valley here is CA zone 9b. Our first frost is around November 20th. I love watching your videos as I am new to large gardening. I have always done the typical tomatoes, squash and zucchini but have ventured out this year. Defiantly have had some successes and failures. Looking forward to planting my September crop.
Zone 6a. Thanks for the tip on the pea shoots. First frost date is October 25, love cilantro
I’m in Delaware, last frost is Oct 31st. I have sugar snap peas behind my peppers where is gets shaded first. So far so good. We are still in the mid 80’s to high 70’s. Just had a heat wave for four or five days between 90-95.
Love cilantro!
Still too hot in Texas 8b/9a! We are still upper 90’s! October 1st is time to start everything you mentioned! Great video!
Like cilantro. Have never had luck growing it myself. Will try again.
Huntsville Texas. First frost date is November 17, 2023
Our first frost date, where we live in Oklahoma, is October 25. We have several things planted for fall, but I am still waiting until the end of September before digging up our sweet potatoes and leeks. We have zucchini and yellow squash just starting to put on blooms. We planted them last month for a second crop this year. The okra is 8 feet tall and going crazy! The peppers have gone insane, and I am trying to get them all processed, plus sharing them with family and friends. The cucumbers, tomatoes, and green beans slowing way down. We are getting a ton of basil and Armenian cucumbers! All in all, a successful gardening season. We love cilantro!
