Welcome, y’all! I’m a native Texan growing all the good things in South Louisiana's cajun country and learning more about growing in our unique climate everyday. On this channel I'll be helping Beginner Gardeners get started on their gardening journey and highlighting growers, gardeners and farmers in the Acadiana area of Louisiana to bring more education and awareness to growing practices and options that are successful in our community. I hope to empower you with the knowledge and skills to successfully grow for yourself and your family in whatever capacity works best for you.

Soooo… you have a valentines potato planting date sha?🙃
Is that Romanesco Broccoli? I just planted some today.
Good stuff! Thank You!
They're also pests on dragon fruit plants. @SpicyExotics has a video of how to use a shop vac ... seems to work well th-cam.com/video/1T8SLYuREfE/w-d-xo.html
I also live in 9B in South Louisiana. I just planted 40 blueberries, one mandarin Satsuma, three Owari, one Hamlin Orange, And eight Arctic frost satsumas, one Persian lime, one Lisbon lemon, and one LSU purple fig. I planted the blueberries bordering the sidewalk so people walking by can pick it
I'm waiting to plant at my next house. I currently have a fig tree that I'll leage with. The next owner. I agree a little something all year round.
I just planted pumpkins a week ago and a few days ago planted these Stripped Cushaw. My garden is about 1/4 acre and first time I garden so anxious to see how things go in the fall.
Thank you for this video, can't wait to harvest some of mine.
Im so confused tho.. What are we doing with old soggy boxes w/out labels?
I`m right on the 9a line. Even figs freeze here in recent years. But I planted 6 here since 2022, 4 dwarf everbearing mulberry, and 2 pineapple guava up close to my camper so I can run a cord out with a light and plastic to try to protect them next winter. Maybe it won`t get near zero for a few years again until the trees can get established. This yard had no soil so just to have a garden is a slow process of hauling in forest soil in a wagon with disabilities. But I have to if I want fresh food because I have no car.
Yes, I just planted my Cushaw squash seeds today, 5-9-2024, I hope they thrive.... Thank you for making this video....
I just subscribed to your channel. I love it. After two years off, I’m resurrecting my garden. Planting several varieties of tomatoes, eggplant, squash, onion, cucumbers, cucuzza and bell pepper. Blackberries are looking good also. All of these grow well here in Baton Rouge.
I’m glad you are here! Welcome, neighbor! What’s your favorite tomato variety?
@@Louisianagardening I like them all! I like Louisiana creoles and Paul Robesons.
I’ve never tried the Paul robeson’s but I hear they are delicious. We love sungold cherry tomatoes. We have lots of kids in our gardens so we usually grow cherry tomatoes.
Oh my gosh now I'm walking around the house and in my garden singing baby squash and it's all your fault😂🤣
🤣🤣🤣 you are so welcome! How’s your garden coming along this year?
Give me another month and I'll know. They're just starting to grow after being planted a month.
I was really hoping for some visuals considering there's such a lack of information on zone 9A and 9B. I guess Floridians just don't like the film how and what they're doing
We’re in south Louisiana and this gentleman lives a good drive away from me. I’m honored when I get to go visit. I don’t know that it’s that so many don’t like filming, but the time that editing takes. I’ve made many videos that have never seen TH-cam because of editing time and my family/homestead/business getting priority. Hopefully I can get back to longer for videos again soon.
@@Louisianagardening I do love Louisiana I'm hoping we have compatible results given that I am in Central Florida
Love having 1 go to seed and 1 not ❤ collect seeds for next year while still enjoying the produce (on purpose or not lol)
Awesome! Have you ever successfully start sorrel from seeds you saved? Mine have never germinated.
Thank you! I have tomatoes from seed growing right now they are only a stem with 2 small leaves any suggestions on when is best to transplant to a individual container? New Sub here from luling Louisiana. God bless you & your family ✝️❤️❤️
I wouldn’t move them until they have at least one set of “true leaves” that look like tomato leaves. Once you get those in you are good to go! Are they looking like tomato leaves currently?
@@Louisianagardening thank you so much for your reply, no I don't believe so. It's only a very small plant stalk with only 2 leaves on each side. Super tiny 😂 if I was to guess maybe a inch or 2. I'm new to planting tomatoes from seeds. I'm used to buying them from the store ready to replant. I'm glad I subbed to your channel I think I'm going to learn a lot for our little camper homestead. Again thank you you are so kind to reply back, your a blessing praying you get tons of subscribers!!!✝️♥️🫂
Thank you for the encouragement! I share a lot more on Instagram if you use that platform. It’s Charity Gardens also. 💛
@@Louisianagardening ok thank you so much!💛
Have you ever done sweet peas?
I haven’t yet! I’d like to one day, but I read they are toxic if eaten.
Solamnaceae, nightshade family! 🤔😁👍🏻🍅❤️🍅❤️🍅
The hairs aren’t roots, they’re trichomes and they’re to protect from sun/frost and disrupt insects
What do the trichomes do? These appendages play a key role in the development of plantsand occur in a wide variety of species [2]. Trichomes are a protective barrier against natural hazards, such as herbivores, ultraviolet (UV) irradiation, pathogen attacks, excessive transpiration, seed spread, and seed protection.Feb 1, 2021
Indeed, but planting deep still helps because the stem has bumps which do indeed become roots. It's just not the hairs that do
? What do you do with a wet, dirty cardboard which will never got the same conditions and capacities in carrying weight than before! And it will also mold! So totally useless!
I use it to suppress weeds in my garden. I wet it, peel the tape, lay it out and then cover it with leaves. By the end of the season the earth worms have completely broken it down and my garden has less weeds. Down here in the south where we have lots of snakes, it makes my garden safer for my kiddos and helps us get better harvests.
That's probably the biggest reason I haven't used boxes when I had them. But mainly, I never have them when I need them or always have them when I dont.
The members of our gym bring them to use all the time. I’m basically their recycling program! 🤣🤣 If you have neighbors that use Amazon let them know that you’ll take their boxes. 😃
But then they're all wet 🤔😕
I use these to cover my walkways and smother weeds in my garden. I’ll cover them with wood chips, leaves or pine needles when I have them available. It’s the best thing I’ve found for weed control in the garden that isn’t landscape fabric.
@@Louisianagardening ah, makes sense, plus obviously a good way to recycle into something useful too 👍
Yes! I’m doing my best to recycle our cardboard and it’s helped me be more productive in the garden. I call it a win win.
Like Picking SCABS off your leg.
🤣🤣🤣 exactly! I find peeling this tape off the most satisfying. Like pressure washing.
I just throw mine in the recycling
I use them to battle our weeds so I can grow fresh veggies. Many members of our business bring us their cardboard that would normally end up in a landfill so I guess now I’m their recycling. 🤣🤣
Ohhhhh... Ok .. gotcha👌🏽
It smothers weeds so well and also helps bring in the earthworms. By the end of the season the cardboard is completely gone.
One part you forgot is that it's going to mold
I cover my cardboard with leaves, pine needles or wood chips and the following year it is completely disintegrated. The only time I ever see it mold is when it sits out uncovered. The works come in quick quick and break it down.
Best part here, that cardboard smooches down to almost nothing.
Yes! They bring in the worms too!
Giiiirl 😂 last year i used to take them off while watching my favorite shows on tv because it would take so long. Game changer !
I’m glad you found it helpful! It really does take so much time and this makes it so much easier. It takes some forethought, but I’m a Mom and rarely get to start and finish a project the same day anyways. 🤣🤣
Keep the cardboard coming! It's getting used up out there.
Absolutely! Y’all keep it coming. 💛
This is a great tip! Thanks for sharing. How long do you leave it outside usually?
If there’s no rain on the forecast I’ll water it down well and leave it out for at least 24 hours. The heat really helps!
Great short! I live in 9A and I wasn’t sure what grows here. Will regular haas avocado do okay here? I ask because I believe Lila is a small fruit and mexicola has a big seed. Lmk thoughts Thnkx!
Totally depends on the growing conditions. Where in 9A? In a tight city that stays warmer? Maybe so. If you have a good bit of land that’s wide open and windy you may lose them in the winter without protection. I’m in South Louisiana and cannot grow them, but a lady in my town has a huge avocado tree. She’s got a townhouse right behind her on the north side that creates almost a zone 10 climate in her backyard.
@@Louisianagardening yeah it’s a big land I think I’ll loose it you’re right in winter. Hm maybe if I frost protect it during winter then when it gets tall enough I won’t need a frost protector. Thanks
Good info… but I’m also wondering whether the sunflowers will attract more to my garden…
I’m testing out that exact theory this year! I have a different garden space with no sunflowers and I had none last year in that garden. I’m beginning to think they may attract them. I’ve never seen them out in fields of sunflowers though.
You got a kobolt wheelbarrow you must be rich
I think he just knows some investments are worth it when you use the tool every single day.
Thanks ma'am
Happy to help!
Awesome presentation! Thank you! Planting cherry tree this year!
Fantastic! I hope it produces wonderfully for you!
Sweet Potato replacement! Wow, now I really want to grow these. Hmm, how many squash can I squish into the garden? (see what I did there?) :-) :-)
Very clever. They are delicious!
I will say that they don’t keep as long as I thought they would.
@@Louisianagardening They do look very much like a large Cocozelle Zuchinni. ..but the flavour sounds quite different, and Cushaw's are considered a winter squash aren't they? Shame they don't store longer.
Yes. All of those. Let mother nature dictate how the garden grows. We are merely helpers in the endeavour. Happy gardening.
Absolutely. I’m honored to be part of the process.
I planted plum trees 2 years ago that are still alive but don't seem to be growing. Should I dig them up and do this?
It might be worth it. Is they area they are in wet or stay damp?
Priceless! ❤
Glad you found it helpful!
Thank you for featuring this crop. It will be my first time growing this squash. Blessings...daisy
It’s fantastic. The Seminole pumpkin was also a fantastic pumpkin I grew in another location this year. I didn’t get a chance to make a video for it, but I had no squash vine borer issues, it produced over 30 pumpkins and they are absolutely delicious.
@@Louisianagardening Yes, I have seeds for the Seminole pumpkin and plan to grow that as well. I pretty much gave upon squash due to the vine borers, so I’ll be curious to see how we do this year. Thanks for your input!
Absolutely. Best of luck with them! I’ve also found that stagger planting them (one plant in March and one in April or one in April and one in May) really helped me miss the borer life cycle on years when I had a lot of pest pressure also.
Yes! I start seeds at home and have a similar set up! It's a lot of work but I always get excited to start seeds!😊
That's wonderful! It always seems like it takes forever to get everything out and get started, but once I do, I am always so glad I did. What are you excited about growing this year?
100%
Feels so good to be getting a jump on spring!
That chicken tractor is missing it's wheels!
Yep, none of my have wheels actually. I just slide them across the ground. 🤣🤣 I definitely want to get wheels on them eventually, especially the bigger ones, but this one is totally manageable for me right now without them. I’m building a moveable tractor for our meat birds soon that will have wheels on it and another tractor for the chickens we will put at the gym soon. Which wheels do you have a preference for? It seems like there are several options available.
@@Louisianagardening I have the little Tractor Supply coop and I put some Harbor Freight 6 inch wheels on one end with lifting levers. They work pretty good in my smooth yard.
I have never heard of lifting levers. I’m gonna have to look that up. Unfortunately, my yard is full of high areas and low valleys. It looks like a topography map of rolling hills. It definitely makes coop placement tricky sometimes, but I’m hoping to get some areas leveled out this spring.

@Louisianagardening Yeah, just google "chicken tractor lifting levers" and the first images you get will be it. You can just get taller wheels for rougher terrain. With the levers, the wheels are out of the way when not in use.
Cue the quad burn
This is the smallest coop I move this way. The other one is twice as big, wood and metal and requires a lot more effort to more. My quads are definitely burning by the time I am done.
Getting those sled pulls in! 💪🏽
You already know! Farm Strong! 555
I’m covering and crossing my fingers! 🤞🏽
My chickens got into my garden and pulled out all of my mulch. 😭😭
Both, I think. 😂
Good choice!
How did your gardening season go this summer/fall?
If i send you a SASE and a little money will you send me some seeds?
🌱
Sad to say these seeds will never see the light of day thanks to the chickens.
The birds always eat my crops
That’s no good. Tried scarecrow or shiny objects hanging to scare them away?
