Mike how’s it going man good finishing up very good so tell us a little about what you got here um well you got a lot on the tables yeah we’ve got a lot of different herbs we’ve added probably a dozen new herbs that we weren’t growing

Uh last time we talked here so lot of assortment of herbs a lot of vegetables heat tolerant veggies that grow in the hot part of the year in Florida which is the majority of the year so that’s important uh and we brought a decent amount of fruit trees as well just

Finishing up labeling these are the um well this plant has multiple names but Electric Daisy buzz button or uh toothache herb wow and so you take a little little flow like that you nibble on it and in a few seconds your your tongue starts to tingle and your mouth goes numb it’s

Really cool kind of a novelty but we somebody just did ask me what are the other uses for it and I mentioned that we did give it to our our kids when they were teething and it actually helped calm them down at certain points so a

Lot of lot of different uses for some of these herbs we got lipia Alba right here which is a Florida native and it makes a delicious tea this is a minty type and there’s a lemony type as well super delicious it’s like a native lemon balm but it grows way better

No clue how to what to do with it you need to use a PVC cutter to cut the fruit open a CH very good a Chay that’s the only way you’re going to cut it open so this you can eat the leaves and they’re pretty called derated CH harod IA

Expert so is it hanova or Jova Hova Han Hanover so it’s a city in Mexico right guala Guatemala okay my bad this is har everybody he has a lot of videos on uh the internet on truly tropical so I I named the HED uh I got from the same family in the

Town of Hova a Whitey Lama and a red Lama so I Nam them can white can red sometimes I name them after the name of the family or whatever but uh if the name’s too common like Jose or whatever then you know it’s one chooses a more distinctive

Sure hanova I thought it was down in Mexico but thanks for clarifying it’s in Guatemala but yeah it was hanova that I knew that’s that’s where most the alas come from is um Guatemala right Guatemala H well there’s an area in Mexico that I never visited that has a a great amount a

Variability uh in El llas there’s an experiment station with a huge collection I don’t know three dozen or more selections I’ve seen the pictures oh and they’re very different one from the other that’s cool which which region in Mexico chipas okaka I think ohaka ohaka okay so I gotta go
