I planted Puerto Rican black beans in Fort Myers last year and my whole crop was wiped out by a bug that bore a hole in every single bean. Any help to prevent that from happening again this year is greatly appreciated!
Where can I find Cranberry Hibiscus?
Is sun hemp good for fighting nematodes?
I love your channel and this video!!!
Yes, somehow I had a peanut plant pop-up in one of my pots. Which ever animal planted it must have come back to get its crop. It dug out that pot and all my other pots about a year later
Love how you deliver the information I enjoy it
Hi, I falling love to you.
I am from tropical Japan like Florida.
Also plant tropical fruits and vegetables here in tropical Japan.
We are tropical friend now.
Keep in touch and come here for camping, cooking, outdoor activities.
I welcome you. You don't need to pay for hotel, stay my house.
Dear wildfloridian
I’m from Maine. We blanch the beet greens and eat them like cooked spinach with vinegar!! Yum!! New this year at planting in the sand!! Oh my goodness!!! Sand everywhere!!
PS. You can blanch and freeze the beet greens too!
Omg my Everglades tomatoes come up everywhere! In awful soil! They get HUGE and grow so many tomatoes! My daughter thinks they look like weeds and hates them. But I get a pint of tomatoes every week.
I grew roselle last year in 2 pots. I ended up with 3 plants. They were so very pretty! I made cranberry sauce, but didn't care for it. So this year I will dry the calexes for tea . Even if I don't care for the tea, I will probably always grow them . Here in N FL they are considered an annual.
Where do you get the sun hemp? Also I noticed is that your front yard where you have your onions? Reason I ask is because I'd heard a rumor that a couple years back they approved in Florida that you could grow food in your front yard. I definitely want to make use of this space because my front faces South.
This time of year in Florida I noticed ants nesting under my containers. they come up in my soil. Do they hurt the plants, or are they eating bugs? The plants seem okay now.
Because of you i decided to get Everglades tomatoes once and now they grow wild, on their own and require little maintenance.
I need to slow this down a little.😂
I made jam with the rosella. It is great! I also put out a FB note to our local group and had a couple of people come and pick their own roselle! They were very appreciative. I started making roselle syrup – it was kind of messy straining it through cheese cloth, but worked out well. I have not tried drying it because I don’t have a dehydrator, and having the oven on for hours didn’t make sense to me.
Last year with my onions I let the greens dry, then I braided the tops together and they became the ‘hanger’ for them 😂
I am so glad you're talking about using the greens from these crops. It seems like most Americans have no idea but they are edible. Most of these greens could be stir fried come on made into soup or just cook like you would collard greens. Some of the time they're healthier than the crop that you're growing in the first place.
Interesting about Sun Hemp 11:09 as a spinner/weaver/etc it is a good bast fiber "Fiber Production: Traditionally used to make twine, rug yarn, and fishing nets."
Super helpful breakdown! I’ve been struggling with what to plant before the summer heat kicks in. Thanks for the tips!
Hi! Thank you for all the effort you put into your videos. I love them, and I have learned a lot from them.
If you have the time to respond, I hope you can help me. I have an eggplant that has produced a lot, but the eggplants start deep purple and when they get to half their normal size, they start turning green, and if I leave them they get yellow and never reach the normal size. I would like to know if this has happened to you and if you know the reason for it. Thank you again!!!
How do you start your Sweet potato’s from seeds or from a store bought?
