I know the Brazilian Spinach by the name Sissoo Spinach. I grow that and so many other tropical edible greens! Many can be made through cuttings very well. They make a wonderful summer edible landscape! Happy Gardening and thank you for your videos😄 From Florida Zone 10
Hi, Does anyone knows where to get the seed for the Brazilian Spinach? I would like to try it in my zone 9b east central FL. Thank you in advance.
Hello from Jacksonville! Another GREAT video! I just ordered your planner bundle set to use at home & with my students at school. Excited to use your informative planner this year! 😀😀
This is what I use: Logix 12535 Stackable Craft Storage Box with Handle, Locking Art Supply , Plastic Containers with Lids, Craft Organizer , Frost.
It is like an ammo box but less expensive.
Ugh I think I was late on my peppers. I have tons of plants, very little fruit.
I've been growing the Carolina wonder and Charleston belle both. They also have a Carolina cayenne, which produces large fruit all year long. The fruit gets smaller in the cooler lower light months and larger as it gets warmer again. The bell peppers do produce well, but I also found that the fruit is smaller. Some of them are even flat shaped, sort of like those flat peaches. They look odd. I cover them sometimes during the middle of the day with a white cloth, but they can handle the nematodes that seem to get almost everything else I plant.
Had a friend she had figs trees in south Miami
I just planted a papaya in this 90 degree heat about 2 months ago. It is doing well in the sun. Just planted some cantaloupe. It is vining 😅😃
I am in Antigua. I live in the hottest, driest part of the island (desert like conditions) with alkaline soil and I am growing things here that most people thought were impossible. I love to experiment and try things I love to eat and have low to no chill hours requirements. I grow Triple Crown Blackberries, Biloxi Blueberries, a variety of Figs, Asian Pear, Florida Prince Peach, Plums, Apple, a variety of Dragonfruits, a variety of Grapes, Thompson seedless, Thomcord, several wine grape varieties, and several Muscadines. In addition, I have many tropical’s: a wide variety of bananas, sugar apples, soursop, starfruits, tamarind, papayas, jackfruits, passionfruits, pineapples, fejioa, guavas, a variety of tropical cherries, and several variety of citrus.
I just bought some metal raised beds and currently setting them up.
I have spent the last few years building the soil organically via chop & drop, compost, and manures. I mulch everything heavily.
As a gardener in coastal alabama zone nine b with So much humidity.My sister and I joke that we have a short growing season and a long slow dying season.
I don't have a way to get cattle panels and I don't have a farm supply near me that delivers for free and would cost more then it worth to have them delivered to my community garden. What else could I use that I can fit in a car.
I have too many fire ants!😱
I put my seeds in old cd albums and recipe boxes…..the kind with index cards. The down sude to the album is that it makes the little book bulky.
Wait, wait, wait! Basil? What conditions? I have trouble with basil in the summer, thought everyone did. I try to eat it quick. I’m moving a plant around right now and fail to find an area it’s happy.
I’m in the Tampa Bay area and planted jalapeño & cubanelle peppers in the same bed as my bell peppers and haven’t gotten a single pepper from either. The bell peppers are feeding me and several other families. They’re terrific.
I have a great fig bush/tree. Homosassa.
Dwarf banana is now in the ground for 2 years, it is terrible dwarfed, not fruit.
Thanks for mentioning me!! Update: I finally got Malabar spinach to grow, it loves my self watering grow boxes. I still can’t get them to grow in the ground, but they are going crazy in my boxes!! So no need to try anymore
Garden is worse, the house is insured 😂
I'm growing pinto beans. Just an experiment, but worth trying!
I have Neptune tomatoes which are still producing tomatoes in zone 10b, Fort Lauderdale,and they are loaded with flowers.
❤❤❤
Aww, thanks for the shout-out!! Yea, we're getting ready to have our onion party started July 19th!! Get those short-day onion seeds ready!!!
Hello. Can you please do a video on container garden soil, solar ‘santinitizing” it to kill lingering bugs like aphids, ànd the best way to store the soil through summer. I’m down in Cape Coral and this past spring was my first Florida garden. I currently have Rosella, watermelon, sweet potato, guava, pineapple, and citrus growing. But I now know I can't work out in this heat! Too brutal! A set it and forget it garden video would be great too! If you've already covered these topics, can you share the links please. I haven't found them yet. TY!
Puerto Rican black beans are found everywhere. The POLE variety are what you're talking about. The pole beans are available @ Jerra, Urb Harvest, Etsy. ♡
I had Malabar spinach grow well in Chattanooga zone 7b. It’s doing even better in zone 9a. It can probably thrive in all of Florida in direct sun on the hottest most sun intense days.
I am in pal Harbor. I remember a while ago you showed a blue thistle type plant. It was beautiful. I think you said it was one of your favorite plants. I am 80 and have no car so I can’t look around.
Do you know where I could order seeds! How fast do these plants grow?
Go direct to Ferry Morris, lot more selection than at the BB stores.
When I lived in Deerfield Beach (Broward County zone 10b) I grew turkey figs successfully. They would get rust, but always recovered
Our Malabar spinach love the fabric grow bags with no pest at all (5 gallons) unlike in the past (raise beds) with no success. Most of our vegetables and fruit trees are fruiting, producing a lot here in Melbourne 32935❤️🤗
I’m not seeing the join button. I’m thinking I’ve already joined? But where do I find the member videos?
I really need help with my papayas! I had two that I bought at the end of August last year. The first died shortly after transplanting from being drowned by the rain! I managed to save the second by putting it back in a pot. It was looking very sad so this June I moved it back into the ground. It was looking great! The trunk was thickening and the branches were long, the leaves were dark green and very big. We get our first monsoon rain and it drowned! I'm so confused because this fruit is tropical and I live between the Everglades and Big Cypress. Help help help!
Southern seed exchange is amazing. Im leaning towards buying all my seeds from them. They're focused on our region
Luv hearing from you and this was fun too!
Hello, only recently found your channel. I too am in St Pete, however I’m down near the point, and am frequently watching patches of rain all around me, but not actually raining on my property, meaning my area is more drought prone than the rest of “Pinellas Island”. My zone is 10a.
Hello, I'm a new subscriber living in central Florida zone 9b and I am learning a lot from your channel, and I have been watching and enjoying several of your videos. You remind me very much of a lady I went to UCF with in the early 90's, but I know you're too young to be her. But she lived on the east coast near the Indian River, and I remember she liked gardening and was wanting to start an asparagus bed. I wonder if you are related? You look so much like her. Thanks for all your hard work and sharing what you know.
I live in Boca. Figs grow great here.
Absolutely love your papaya tree in the background!! Thanks for sharing this great information, I moved to FL 5 months ago and find your channel very helpful as I am trying to "learn" to garden again 😀
Yes, you can move your tomatoes around if they're in pots! I'm in the Orlando area, and have a cherry tomato plant in a pot, a roma tomato plant in a pot, and a green pepper in a pot. They were out on the pool deck in full sun back in April, but now I have them on the deck up against the house under the roof overhang (this is the north side of the house), and they never get direct sunlight there, but good indirect sun. They are all 3 producing all summer!
Malabar spinach gets black spot easily. Longevity spinach much hardier. What about pigeon peas? I started them this year and they are doing great. In Clearwater area. I have been growing cassava. It is great here all year and do fine in summer with no diseases or pests, and easy to dig up.
I grew cubanelle in zone 11 in a pot and they produces like crazy and or a very long time. Love them!
