Harvesting Summer and Planting Fall

Come hang out with me on The Laid Back Homestead for a hot fall garden day—harvesting a surprise volunteer watermelon, planting broccoli, cabbage, and cauliflower, and getting beds prepped for cool-season veggies. I’ll show how I space and prep plants, add fertilizer, and deal with bacterial wilt while planning a new hydroponic build for spring. If you love real-life homesteading, fall planting, and garden harvests, grab a drink and spend the day in the garden with me. 00:00 – Intro & Garden Chore Day 47:09 – Begin Harvest in the Fall Garden 1:14 – Watermelon Harvest Tips: How to Know It’s Ripe 2:22 – Harvesting Grow Bags & Future Hydroponic Plans 4:21 – Planting Out Broccoli and Cauliflower Seedlings 6:50 – Final Garden Harvest & Wrap-Up Reach us at: thelaidbackhomestead@gmail.com #garden #homestead #harvest #gardenchores #homesteadlife #organicgardening #gardentours #thelaidbackhomestead #backyardgarden #smallspacegarden #containergardening #hydroponicsystem 🌱 Welcome to The Laid-Back Homestead! 🌱 Here we inspire everyone to grow food in ANY space—backyards, balconies, or indoors.
