Here in SE FL, my plum tomato plants are loaded with tomatoes ready to ripen. I also have eggplant, green beans and pepper plants in flower. My garlic bulbs have all sprouted too! Feeling blessed!
I hope you had an awesome Christmas! When the hurricanes came I dug up all the plants I had planted and brought them inside my secured pool area. Then when the coast was clear I replanted them (twice, once for each hurricane). I am now being rewarded with seven foot high tomato plants, my eggplants are going crazy. They’ve been in the ground since last spring. My cucumbers are doing well and my Carolina wonder and the Charleston belle I’m waiting on to see how they do but my Sweet banana peppers are kicking butt. Broccoli, cauliflower cabbage and beets are getting big. Carrots and onions haven’t been planted long cuz it was too hot so they are small. I’m not sure if my garlic is even alive. It was in the eighties for weeks after I planted them so they may be toast!
Central FL here. All my outside lettuce has bolted, even the "heat tolerant" ones lol. Glad I have Buttercrunch, Freckles and Marvel of 4 Seasons growing insides hydroponically. Debating if I should try to start more seed outside…
Going to pick up a spotted horsemint tomorrow. Excited! They’re so pretty!
I grew buttercrunch lettuce after seeing your suggestion and it is taking off like crazy, perfect and unlike my other lettuce here in Central Florida it's not bitter 🙂I have to admit I was surprised, I have had a lot of failures with other lettuce. Going to try Fourth of July tomatoes, started sowing the seeds. Can't wait. Thank you for your tips!
You may want to keep your Spanish needles if you live in the Tampa/Temple Terrace area. Atala butterflies have been reintroduced into the area, and I see them while walking to work at the USF campus. Unfortunately, landscapers came through last week and took out most of the flowers, and I saw butterflies looking for them afterwards. 😢
Ordered my 2025 planner. Can't wait to start using it! Fall planting didn't happen this year. I'm using this cooler weather to re-line my raised bed and start a new crop.
We are harvesting buttercrunch now, but it is a little bitter. Is it because of our intermittent warmer days?
And where do you buy your seeds, I can't find all of the ones on the Florida favorites list.
My everglades tomatoe starts are 12 inches😂
Great info, thank you! Red Sails lettuce has done very well for me in north FL.

I am assuming that here in St. Pete that the Tampa Verbena is the one that I want. Do you know offhand where I can get some?
I have the planner👍😁 I have always used my own free monthly calendar from the feed store system but this year I have your planner already tabbed and highlighted – shaking it up with some reorganization and expansion. Thank you.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Great inspiration.
Happy Holidays. I appreciate your very timely videos. I am in zone 9b central Fl. My head lettuce are ready for picking as well as my Juliet tomatoes. I have many parsley plants but the one that is for our consumption I keep in a pot covered with netting that does not touch the leaves. If the leaves touch the net the butterflies manage to still lay their eggs. If I have an abundance of parsley I pick it, wash and dry it, then chop it and put it in a ziplock bag in the freezer. I'm finding dill that has reseeded itself around the garden. I'm trying beets and leeks for the first time. They're looking good so far.
Happy New Year! I was excited to grab my first planner to make notes during this video. Thank you for your channel! As a CA transplant to the south, it’s quite a learning curve to go from avoiding anything that needs water to overwhelming plants and hurricanes. This year, I’m taking control of our property by planning and caring for it properly. We’re in south coastal Georgia, which is basically a suburb of Jacksonville. There is only a couple of sources for information specific to our area, so I really appreciate your resources and how easy you are to understand and follow along with. Thank you!
👍👍👍
I hate to ask but is there a garden planner like that for South Carolina where in the upstate and sometimes it's hard to get good information
I'm in the Tampa area. This video was so informative. Definitely subscribing!
What garden soil do you use in your beds?
Happy New Year! Thank you for this informative garden 🙂
Hi Gardening Friends. My garden is growing well
Thanks for the guide.
I'm new to growing flowers, but it's actually going to be an important part of my market garden.
I'm having good luck in Archer, FL with Prizehead, Cherokee, and Muir lettuce. Every Romaine I've tried grows too slow. As it is, I'll be replacing lettuce with Vates Curly Blue Kale by the end of March. That kale will take me into June, maybe July if it doesn't rain too much.
As for bugs, I'm finding it expedient to grow a veggie hedge around my garden. It's mostly left over seeds planted alongside sugar cane or rye or millet. Pests blow in on the wind and they stop in that hedge. The cane and millet is especially good at holding up grasshoppers and sunflowers completely distract sink bugs.
Living in Tampa area just moved looking for a good place to get transplants or seeds any help would be Appreciated
Where on Earth can you get Tampa verbena? I haven't seen it sold in years! Also, Brownes savory…have never seen, even at native nurseries. Where are your sources? Pinellas county…got just above freezing in late March for one or 2 nights the last two years in a row. Just enough to kill
Enjoyed your video. 💚 Happy New Year 🥳
I have a path next to the house, it's 6 feet long, 1 foot wide. Full sun in the winter, shade in summer. Any suggestions?
Hi – I am new to your channel. I attempted to purchase your Wild Florida Garden Planner, but I entered the wrong email and now I can’t get the link for it. I’m not on Instagram, but I asked my daughter to reach out to explain. I’d really like to get access to the planner so we can begin our vegetable garden this year! Please let me know if/how we can resolve this. Thank you!
Hi Jaqueline & Ben, do you have a vid about topping off an existing raised bed that has dropped/soil settled to plant a different new crop? I think I watched one but can’t recall the title.
I needed the motivation. Thank you
I planted Kale and the PLANT stayed alive producing all year for multiple years. I wish there were Cabbages and lettuces that acted that way. Just plant once and enjoy for multiple years
Always enjoy your vids. I'm a licensed home nursery and 100% organic gardening in Sebastian, FL (10A) and the BEST and most active polinator magnet I have found and use extensively is TRUE African Blue Basil. The bees go NUTS on it and can be hard pruned to shape and freshly flower. Unlike other basils, it is sterile and no need to dead head the flowers. A bit more powerful than genovese or sweet basil for culinary use, but in my garden, the plants are used specifically for pollinators, aroma, and look fantastic with their blue shaded leaves and stalky blue flowering. I also have Mexican Sunflower trees (Tithonia Diversifolia), but mostly for chop and drop, anerobic compost tea, and for attracting pollinators when they massively bloom. Happy New Year! (NOT looking forward to the Polar Vortex coming over the next two weeks!!)🥶🥶
How transferable is the info in your calendar for Eastern GA? Wondering if we are close enough to north FL. We are zoned 8a.
I’m in Fort Myers and new to this climate. I’ve always grown tomatoes cucumbers when I lived up north. I can only grow under my lanai. Do you have any suggestions for what grows well under a lanai. Thanks for sharing. Happy Growing.🌿🥗
In in Central Florida. So happy that I found you. I cant afford the planner right now, but I will be here watching. 😊
In the past I had problems with pest. We had slugs and snails. Once I saw them I couldn't eat the lettuce. I had my hubby harvest and clean it outside but I still couldn't do it. How do I prevent this?
Great info!! Do you happen to have a video on what raised bed dirt you use or how you make it?
Great video. I am in Central Florida. I need to start some flower plants. Thanks for sharing.
A good late cold weather crop is collards because they can grow well into summer, same with chard.
I put the weeds in my Jlf before they grow to seed and I refeed my plants with there nutrients
So inNorth Florida, what month do you start your cold weather crop seeds?
I'm in Panama City, FL and lettuce has already bolted! WTH? Thanks for all the hard work. Awesome videos:)
