Fall Garden Setup 🌿 Fall Seed Starting 🌱 Brussel Sprouts, Cabbage, Cauliflower, Broccoli

Welcome back to the Laidback Homestead! Today I’m up-potting my very first round of fall seedlings and getting round two started here in my Zone 9A garden in Southeast Louisiana. Between the heat, tropical rain, and unpredictable weather, gardening this time of year is always an adventure! I’ll be sharing updates on my Chinese cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, and even my cotton ball experiment, plus showing you which varieties thrived and which ones didn’t. If you’re looking for real-life gardening tips, fall seed starting ideas, and honest results from a backyard gardener, this video is for you. 🌿👩‍🌾 Whether you’re prepping raised beds, starting brassicas, or just love seeing what grows in the greenhouse, come along as I share my wins, struggles, and experiments with succession planting, hybrid vs. heirloom varieties, and more.
