Love watching you, I would like to know what the name of the lemon/Lime Bush. And will it grown in zone 8b and 9a ? I would love to grow one here.
Peppers! My habaneros are popping like crazy 😁
Blackeyed pea/cowpeas/red ripper can be grown now, I like them green, we call them field peas.
I live in the big bend (zone 8b) and use Ty Ty nursery in GA. They sell many of the fruit tree varieties created or endorsed by UF for my zone. I have bonus sweet potatoes growing in my compost bin from last season’s clippings. I have never heard of Puerto Rican black beans but I am going to check them out. Thanks for your videos. I always learn something new.
My sweet potatoes are doing insanely well this summer. I had to pull one that weighs 7 lbs. Kinda scary it got that big. The only place I could find different organic varieties was from Whole Foods. I got Hannah (white variety) Japanese (red outside white inside) and purple stokes (all purple). I made the slips myself. Way cheaper than ordering specialty varieties online.
Your eggplant looks so good! Mine is huge but hasn’t set any fruit 😭
I got a lot of my fruit trees from "A Natural Farm" It's in Howey-In-The-hills. There's also a place called, "Plants Galore" in Inverness that has pretty good deals and prices. Florida Hill Nursery is where I found a lot of different banana varieties.
Love Murray's Flowers & Fun Finds in Ocala
Where do you get your Puerto Rican black beans to plant? I can’t find any. Do you direct sow them?
In the SWFL area, I prefer ECHO and FruitScapes for fruiting trees and edible crops.
Thanks for being the public service announcement for gardeners in Florida. The humidity and heat combinations are resulting in more of those dangerous "wet bulb" conditions. Also for people who like to garden late in the day, watch out for mosquitoes; not only are they plentiful, but cases of Malaria have been found around Sarasota.
The preparing and clean-up to have your garden be storm-ready is especially important. My neighborhood been hit by a downspout that was forecast as "chances of thunderstorms" that took down huge oak limbs, including a 30+ year old live oak, lanai screens, fences, etc. We've experienced hurricanes that left less debris. The extra heat is making more dangerous weather conditions, so we may not have any notice to do extended prep. I will watch your storm prep video again to make sure I haven't missed any pointers. Thanks again to your Dad for making the video, and please send him wishes for his continued health.
Hey fellow Floridians who have dealt with root knot nematodes, what solutions worked for you? I already added compost to my raised beds before planting seeds so that didn’t work. I just lost several plants (cucumbers, okra, cantaloupes, bush beans 😭). Are beneficial nematodes worth it? Looking for ideas.
I brought native goldenrod in here several years ago (9a). It is well behaved out in the pasture but if it gets into a flower or veggie bed with supplemental water it will take over and strangle everything else. Spreads by root runners and is almost impossible to control. Beware.
Don't forget southern peas. Biggest producers for summer crops and good for soil.
You are always so charming and provide such great information. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you great video love that you added tips for us northern gardens on how to add plants during the hot weather along with survival in the garden. Great job!
Good tips for the heat! It is crazy.. I’ve just straight up avoided the garden for a couple weeks there (thankfully we had a ton of rain too) The grass around my beds is so overgrown 😩 but my eggplant and sweet basil are looking pretty good right now!
Hi! Do you have a business email we could reach out to you on?
I’m in South Florida 10a Palm Beach County and my figs are doing well. Growing in a large pot from Dollar General and I’ve harvested 15 ripe, delicious figs. Okra, peanuts, leaf and grain amaranth, and eggplant are also doing well.
My only easy grow has be purple hull peas. Potatoes fizzled, sweet potatoes fizzles, zucchini made only male flowers. Frustrated. Homosassa
Sarasota had 4 reported cases of malaria so long sleeves, hat and avoid dusk time in the garden.
I am in Central Florida zone 9a and i like purchasing my citrus from Backyard Citrus in Florida. The trees always look so perfect when we get them. I have also tried Seminole Pumpkins thanks to you and the Everglades Tomatoes. Both are doing well. I also just purchased a Mulberry Tree last month and i swear it has grown 3 feet already.
Thanks for all of the great info.

I made a native flower garden in my front yard, it's doing great. I saw that video you did with Petrina, great one, & I am starting to incorporate some natives in the back with my veggies. You two ladies have turned me into a real Florida Gardener, thank you.
My sweet potatoes are growing like crazy. First time for me so I didn't know what to expect. Wow, I'm loving it. I saved that hurricane video you did with your dad, I guess it's time to watch it again. I was jotting down the names of some of the plants you listed today. Going to try to get a few to put with my veggies. Thanks again for all you do for us.
GODDESS❤
Where can I find Puerto Rican black beans? I have searched and cannot find them! Also, I'm in zone 9a, can I plant hibiscus seeds directly outdoors?
