Hi from North Florida. Put 2 pack cucumber seeds in ground second week of March they came up beautiful bright green leaves. Last weekend got down in the 30s those leaves are damaged can they still come back? Should I cut leaves off or just pull em out?
What is chop and drop?
My Everglades sprouted within five days. I purchased mine from Etsy, covered them with a plastic bag and had a100% germination rate. This was around the first week of March.
Whitwam Organics in Tampa sells the varieties of seeds and plants that grow in Florida. They also carry Florida native flowers. I’ve bought strawberry plants and Everglades tomatoes from them, you pick live plants up from a stand in Seminole Heights after you place your order and get a pick-up time window.
I messed up with my Seminole pumpkin last year—didn’t harden off the seedlings so lost all but one, and before I got a single pumpkin on the sole survivor the vines got chopped in a weed whacker accident 😭 Fingers crossed we have better luck this year!
I love Everglades tomatoes! My 3rd year and I have volunteers pop up…so basically free tomatoes here and there😂

Beet greens chopped and sauté with garlic and chopped toasted Walnuts. Try it and thank me later.
Seed the stars from Florida on Etsy
I got Seminole Pumpkins and Roselle from Hoss last year.
My sweet potatoes have horrible whitefly issues. I can use the leaves but I typically have to take them out before they develop tubers unless I want to risk whiteflies taking over everything.
I get seeds from Southern Exposure and from The Urban Harvest
In Jamaica we use Roselle as a Christmas drink called Sorrel
What kinds of plants do you all plant w your roselle/hibiscus plants?!?!?
I live in south Florida and have never had success with sunflowers which is crazy because just down the street they grow wild!
we started our Seminole pumpkins in 5 inch pots.
Hi I the cranberry hibiscus, and I know the leaves are edible, but can you make tea with this one as well? Or is there any other uses?
Bob and Ashley ?! I know them I used to watch their YouTube channel ALL THE TIME!!!! I miss them
I watched this video about 30 minutes after you first posted and here I am, 3 days later…watching it again! I appreciate you sharing your knowledge!
~Big Bend-Florida here~
Hi Jacqueline, I’m doing a 3 sisters currently. I have 4 20 gallon grow bags with corn, and in each I put a different squash variety and a dry bean. So far, everything is doing great. I think I planted the corn in January, but I didn’t get hit with a freeze. Also in Pinellas 10b, over in Seminole, but I tend to be warmer than you I think. I’ll keep you posted on how it goes. I’ve not been success with dry beans in the past and this is my first real try with corn. All the squash are winter small size squash. So we’ll see 🤷🏼♀️🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻
Also, when you say all those carrot and beet tops, etc are edible, would they be good to make into green powder? And if so, how would you store them until drying/dehydrating? Can they be frozen?
I really like your white raised beds, Where did you get them and what sizes are they?
So, I am seeing onion starts in the big box stores, but don't we plant onions in the Fall?
I interplanted sunflowers with my tomatoes to have a living trellis for the vines, similar to 3 sisters, but the sunflowers brought in all the leaf footed bugs which decimated my tomatoes. 😢 0 stars. Do not recommend.
Are the Florida crunch summer peas from southern exposure supposed to be like sugar snap peas that can be grown in our summers?! Or are they just another shelling bean like black eyed peas and Puerto Rican black beans?
How about this for three sisters? Okra as something tall, yard long beans climbing it and fixing nitrogen, and Everglades tomatoes ground cover?
Somehow I have a dino kale that is almost two years old. 😂
The squirrels keep eating or digging up everything in my garden. HElp please.
Yes I have put in netting but they figure out how get in . Help please!
For the first time, this year, the squirrels have dug up and eaten half of my green bean seeds! I’ve had to start some in trays to evade them.
Hi there, two questions.
How do I join these meetup groups?
I recently moved to Umatilla in a very good sized lot. It's very overwhelming that I have this massive barren yard and want to plant stuff everywhere. Any tips on how to stay organized with putting in plants over the coming months and years?
Hey im in Jax Fl.I grow lettuce,carrots….I order of Baker Creed seeds.I like your channel.
Mealy bugs loved my rosella…
Hi. Curious, are you exercising crop rotation? One of my mentors in the Master Gardener emphasizes the importance even in raised beds.
The Urban Harvest is a great place to buy seeds. 💚
My favorite way to eat Okra is raw. Love garden snacks. I tried cutting them to add to a salad…NOPE.. too slimy. 😂 Eat it right off the bush. 💚
My sweet potatoes the last couple years are just runner of leaves and vines. No potatoes. Help a girl out, how do I fix this. Would love to get POTATOES
Yes, intercropping is fantastic I do corn and peanuts or soybeans corn shades it well.
I am in zone 9b and have sandy soil. I have decided to put in some raised beds because I have given up on the 5 gallon bucket thing and figured out where to put my raised bed garden. But things like the luffa’s and hibiscus plants will they grow in my sandy soil areas? Or will I have to do beds for those too. I have maybe six inches of soil that is dirt and sand then it seems to get more sandy under that. It grows grass and pine trees and a few other trees. My fruit trees don’t like it. So I have them in giant planters. When they outgrow those I figure I will have to bring loads of dirt in and dig giant holes to plant them 🤣
What is your opinion of sunchokes? Jerusalem artichoke. Food and flowers both.
I'm trying like a two sisters this year, Seminole pumpkin below and pigeon peas above for nitrogen fixing, shade, and structure. We'll see!
