Here’s a quick look at the bare area I transformed into a patch of edible landscaping. I decided to add flowers as well, as the owner wanted more pollinators and butterflies, so there are zinnias, periwinkle, and dune daisy mixed in. The yams are huge now – I can’t believe the speed of growth – plus the okra and celosia in the pots are looking great. Will post a longer video soon.

  1. David that was so short!! Have you been watching my videos lately? The garden is in and jamming!!

  2. That sugar cane mulch looks great. I may try to get my hands on some of that as we grow a lot of sugar cane around here. Take care.

  3. Thank you for the update.Ā  Are you worried about the okra blocking outĀ other plants?Ā  I planted some this hot season and they grew to about 8 feet tall.Ā  I can't wait to experiment with more edible plants in some garden beds.

  4. how do you treat fusarian root rot on fakahatchee grass I m stymied uf said chemicals don t want to do that

  5. This reminds me a bit of a tree guild David, was that your intent, or just a happy accident?

  6. Hello! I'm a new subscriber and I really enjoy watching your videos. Do you follow companion gardening when knowing where to place your veg, fruit and flowers or you choose where ever that works? I'm also new to gardening and I want to start in my backyard, but there are so many systems and guides that I don't really know what to follow. I do like the idea of just planting right into the soil (of course with any needed amendments, I have soily sand in the back), but as far as how I should set it up, I don't know where to start.

  7. Nice! that looks awesome, I also really like the combo of the okra, peppers and celosia. Did you grow your own sugar cane for the mulch? and if not where did you get it from?

  8. Love it! Bagas is my primary mulch. Good stuff. Takes a long time to break down even in the tropics.
