Is it normal in Florida for veggies to grow so slow in Florida? Where I use to live, a new zuchinni would grow to maturity within a few days, for one example. I’ve had 3 tomatoes, 1 butternut, several zuchinnis cantaloupes and eggplants that have babies for weeks. At least they haven’t died. It’s an organic garden and I do fertilize.
I added Everglades Tomatoes to my lineup this last summer. They did insanely good. Now their volunteer / self seeds are coming up. Will pot these up for 2025. I also did the other 4 summer crops… okra, Seminole pumpkins, hot peppers & sweet potatoes. All highly productive and successful. One tropical type plant however gets the insane award. Thai soldier beans. I am still harvesting in Dec. I think on 4.5 beds I ended up with over 50 quarts canned.
I have two hydroponic small gardens when it gets cold i can still grow springtime veggies 🌱
Another good perennial vegetable that you didn't mention is longevity spinach it grows like crazy
The "Something Else" in the Butterfly Seasons poll were Hurricane and Tourist.
Very informative video. Thank you
0:38 I found my first everglades in the vines today!! Little baby everglades! I'm so excited! 🎉
Has anyone had any luck w/ poblano peppers (Sarasota zone 9b)?
I live in st.pete and have NEVER seen a humming bird how are yall doing it
I'm sad no one mentioned guava. The guava tree is beautiful, the fruit is delicious and the flowers are breath taking. Guava people. Someone please try guava.
Sugar Rush Stripey pepper is a beautiful orange and gold striped chili pepper type I am growing in my potted garden this year here in South FL Zone 10.
Along with beans in the summer, I plant Sesame. Black & Tan. they are quite prolific & it love our summers, and I enjoy the process. Just like the beans you have to plant a lot of it to get a hefty harvest. I need to add Sweet Potatoes and Seminole Pumpkin on my lineup!
Love all the tips from our neighboring gardeners. Going to watch this again with my pen & paper so I can make a list. Love trying new things. I'm a NY gal in a FL world so it took me years to figure out how to make things work. With your help, & others, I'm having success in my garden. Still having failures too but I look at them as learning experiences. Love watching your videos. Thanks again & thanks to all our neighbors for sharing their knowledge and experience.
The crop that is doing best during my first (half) year of gardening is a volunteer roma tomato vine. Second are my Floradade tomatoes. The best performing flower is my very, very short scarlet sage (overcrowded). I am planting around the existing garden my parents half abandoned, so the butterflies coming in are due to that, but can't choose a fave among the many swallowtails. Fave garden birds are cardinals, especially since they visit with their babies. But I can't ignore the Red Shouldered Hawk, they were just so unexpected (to me) and they haven't eaten a bird in my presence
I’ve planted muscadine 🍇 seeds in my garden ALL over! (FL zone 9a) and I’m awaiting to see what will happen
Maybe it’ll swallow up my fence I planted them by one day 😂
I’ve planted turnips that are doing really well, lettuce 🥬 Kale and Zucchini in the raised garden.
Zucchini grew quick from seeds compared to the others.
I’ll try my hand at the Everglades tomatoes.
I appreciate yall for the advice and motivation 🙏🪴
Remember if you grow muscadine they are highly toxic to dogs!
I'm still shocked that the caterpillars were eating my parsley. I will make sure to always grow some. Merry Christmas to you and your family ❤
Hey thanks for the shout out! My subs jumped! Appreciate that. I love all your research and effort to include many opinions.
Girl you did not just read the username at 25:39 that casually 😂😂😂😂
When I lived in OCala (just moved to Auburndale last week) I loved seeing the Migratory Blue birds, all my Pileated Wood peckers, and the Swallow tailed Kites. At one point I had seen over 30 Swallow tailed kites flying around getting ready to migrate.
Sun Golds deserve all of the hype they get! Super easy to grow and some of the sweetest cherry tomatoes. You need to try them this year! You'll love them, guaranteed.
For me year after year. The Boston Market cucumber. Makes the best quick pickle. From October through May. Plant in succession every 3 weeks toss a new seed somewhere in the garden.
My Goldenrod has no less than 50 bees on them at all times. I love it so much I'm planting more.
