Florida Gardening: What To Plant, When To Plant It!


Homepage

Florida can be a tricky area to successfully grow plants & trees we are often familiar with, from a flowering redbud to a healthy head of lettuce in the garden. Although Florida’s climate may be much too warm for some crops, it can be done successfully.

Understating the growing seasons of Florida is key. Some would say we have 12 months of growing, which is true… but to what extent?

Join Josh as he discusses what to plant, when to plant it & his preferred methods of maintaining such plants.

    Dude! This video is super helpful! Man I wish I would’ve found this earlier but I guess I had to learn some lessons along the way. I live in Pensacola and my garden is full sun all day so I’ve had to come up with creative ways to have some shade during the summer. So I plant okra in the summer and underneath them have other type of crops which could use the shade. I don’t believe in ever having bare soil but it’s really a challenge to do that here in Florida and I’m so glad I found your video and your channel!
    Subscribed and following!

    Great info. I'm a first time gardener and newer to Central Florida. I'm not allowed to plant in ground around my home so I am using 5 gallon buckets. I look forward to more videos.

    Here near daytona we had only three days of good rain in may and so far in June. Rain just kills us here. 1-3 inches one day then nothing for weks

    I'm in Pasco County, someone here told me when they say full sun for tomatoes, they don't mean Florida sun, lol. First time gardener. Having success with cherry tomatoes. Cucumbers were doing fantastic until pickle worms took them out. What do you use for sweet potatoes? Does anyone know where to get slips locally?

    This exact video was the catalyst for me to actually understand the true gardening seasons here in Florida. I was still thinking "midwest" type gardening techniques before seeing this. It finally makes sense! Thank you for featuring Josh and his revelational info!

    for your critters i use moth balls – seems to repel groung hogs and moles here, rats and roaches too with moth balls

    I grow sweet potatoes year round in 9a. We eat the leaves more than the potatoes. We steam them or use them in soups.

    For northerners: Summer is March thru September, Spring/Fall (depending on how you look at it) from October to February.

    HEART as in South LakeWales, associated with Warner Southern? I remember going out there several times while in college!

    Would be interested to hear the thoughts on peanut growing in place of/or alongside the sweet potatoes. Coastal zone 8 south corner of nc and I frequently use Peanuts for nitrogen and cover when traditional vegetables slow down in June. Usually plant the Peanuts densely in may beside Tom's, cucs, squash and just cut back the veg plants when they slow down and let the Peanuts take over and grow til september-october.

    Hello and beautiful day to you. Your video is mighty helpful and I thank you so much for your wisdom. I myself has decided to begin growing carrots, cucumber, radish, basil and thyme here in Land O Lakes FL and was wondering what should I be concerned about regarding critters/squirrels any type of danger toward the growing carrots and other harvesting veggies. I really appreciate it.
