killer intro Jim Bob

Do you deal with dollar weed I'm in clay county and they take over my beds every season

Happy Halloween!

Good information! I got some seeds and the instructions stated that they had to be stratified for 6 weeks. Now I know I can proceed to plant right away!! 😅

The wild rabbits go crazy for the young sprouts. I have to protect the pigeon pea plants from the constant threat of being killed by the rabbits. So I put chicken wire around each plant. I make a round protective cage using 2' wide chicken wire cut in 6' lengths. Most recently the rabbits have been eating the bark off the mulberry trees, girdling the trunk. So, I will have to wrap the trunks to protect them also. The rabbits also love loquat bark.

I really enjoyed this video! Thank you for sharing this!

Half expected to hear what plants we need to grow for use as toilet paper Lol My ears perked up For the struggling 8yr old tree: Would you try a protective cage/cloche made of finer hardware cloth for a while? I'm betting she'd appreciate the help to get solidly upright on her feet so she outrun whoever keeps knocking her back Her trunk could lenghthen higher than the challenger can reach And also bulk up enough on strength & resilience to take their grazing in stride Would love to see it if you haven't already tried it

Great video. Just planted my persimmon today

@brendalloyd1740 Lol, you should get a sink filter or that filter gallon jug, too much plastic! 😅

What if I hoard all the Dasani water? 👀

I love garlic ❤️

Hey Jim Bob, no follow up on the avocado trees, so I assume they are dead. Avocado trees need a strong root system before putting them in the ground. You shouldn't dig a hole. Just mound them with lots of organic material and put a 50 shade cloth over the top of them about 2 -3 feet over the entire tree. This is just to get them started. Once established. They can take the Florida sun. Cheers!

Watching your videos everything's very nice but you really need mulch on all your beds. That mulch is gonna keep your garden beds moist and I have the scorching sun on the dark soil plus when it's cold and winter time it will keep the warm and protect your plants as well, best wishes to you🙏❤️☮️

We are trying to get rid of dollarweed here in NJ. We dissected our raised beds and then my wife poured salt around the base and also inside close to the wooden sides. It's like a freakin cancer, so hard to stop it. 😮

Hey Bro I’m just north of you and I’m wondering how your grafted avocados ended up doing and where I could purchase them locally Thanks for the videos and the info

I love the winters in north fl. Mixing the greens and carbon seems to work better than layering in my piles.

Do you guys plant a fall garden as well.

No entendi nada 😂 y no tiene susbtitulos para traducir pero me gusto esa compostera me gusta que es block y se puede desarmar para que las gallinas se entretengan

I’m going the same thing at my back door leads to the drive way. Hope it turns out as good as yours. Thank you 😂

Subscribed!

Thank you for posting videos on gardening! I’m on the westside of Jacksonville!

Interesting, complete video Thanks. Only feedback i have is to have a tissue handy😂

Thanks for all the great information Jim Bob! Your channel has become one of my Bibles since starting my garden here in Jacksonville. Can you provide an update on how these little seedlings did? I also planted some from a store-bought papaya… Planted directly in the ground. They had grown to be about 3 inches tall, but have plateaued… Not getting any more growth out of them! I planted them about a month ago, so I am becoming a little discouraged. Would be great to have it reconfirmed that these can succeed as a perennial here in JAX! 🙂

Hi....beetles are destroying my egyptian spinach plants at night...ive been hand picking them but there are so many..do you have any suggestions as to what I can use to keep the beetles away?thanks

Why did you make 3 sections? Are you going to put the same type of stuff in each one ?

How is your tree doing?

Can't believe it's already summer! Hopefully the heat doesn't kill the plants. 😭

Jim, Bob, thanks for all the great information! Just started gardening in Jax this spring - your channel has been one of my Bibles! I just bought some moringa seeds and am planning on salting them around my yard… It looks like your tree thrived in partial shade -do you think these could survive as an understory tree? Happy to see these can make it through our winters. Thanks again for all the great work you do for the gardening community and the environment !

Cute curious cat lol

I never had poison ivy before until now. What do you do with your clothes gloves and shoes after you have the oil on them. Wouldn't you get the rash if you touch them?

Oh my gosh,what are the red flowers with yellow edges? Blanket flower?I grew some once but couldn't remember what they were.Beautiful. I planted an apricot tree last fall, it's little but got about 100 apricots😊I was so thrilled.Your property is Beautiful.❤Your idea of bed trellis is awesome.Thanks for sharing your video,it was great.

Looking good Jim Bob. I had such a hard time growing in Se Garden (Stuart). We sold & moved up to upstat SC. I have a decent first year garden going on.

We are in jacksonville and our tomatos are doing great but we have them under %50 shade cloth.

How did this turn out Jim? I got two toilets in pulled from a customers house & im trying to figure out what to plant in them

Thank you for reading the list of plants to plant or sow for February. God bless you Maranatha

Like getting worms

@6:40 you said roots don't like air..... so why do gardeners use an aerating tool in the garden ?? I also did some reading, the articles mention plants roots need oxygen to thrive.

What time of year is best to tranfer from pot to ground? Fellow Jacksonvillian here! Lol

I usually end up planting whatever of my store bought ones that end up sprouting. I don't get much from them, but they would have just been compost otherwise. But, they taste so much better than the store bought ones they came from. Even if they are tiny just boil them up whole like new potatoes. Excellent!

Thanks

All permission. Need cold. Why back full with the top of Bermuda you took off? Unfortunately you planted it way too low. The single most important factor in assuring your tree’s health and longevity is planting it at the correct depth in the ground. The roots flaring out from the trunk must be visible at or, better yet, slightly above ground level when the tree is set in the planting hole. This assures that the spreading roots will be close enough to the soil surface to get the oxygen they need. It also assures that soil will not cover the bark of the young trunk, causing it to decay. Setting the tree slightly above ground level will maintain a proper level in the event that it sinks a bit after watering.

One more thing to keep it from coming back. Poison ivy thrives in acidic soil. Eastern PI does not grow in soil above a pH of 8.5. If you mix in pulverized lime with the soil where you rip it out, it's less likely to grow back. Not a solution if you want to grow other acidic soil plants, but helps if it's a border area you have no plans for.

It can definitely put you in the hospital. Before I knew how to spot it, I hit a bunch with a string trimmer. A glob flew up on my neck and face, and the trimmer probably aerosolized it to some extent. The next day my neck and throat became inflamed and I had trouble breathing. Urgent care told me to go to the ER where they put me on high dose steroids. If you inhale burning poison ivy it's even worse. I've heard of people being in the hospital for weeks from that. Be extra careful with your face and neck as the skin is more permeable. Nasty nasty stuff. Now when I remove it I suit up head to toe, double glove and face shield. If it hasn't rained the day before I'll wear an n95 mask. Then I'll pull it out by the roots and bag it before trashing it. Helps to loosen the soil around it with a pitch fork, and pulling it up after a good rain. Get as much of the root system as possible. If you spray it or use goats it'll just grow back the next season. If you leave it be eventually it'll grow berries and birds will eat them and spread it. It's a persistent bugger and needs an equal level of persistence to fully remove for good. After removing, care needs to be taken to clean the residue off your clothes, tools and skin. Outer layer gloves come off to wash later, then clothes right into the wash. Then dispose the under layer gloves. Clean exposed face, neck, ankles and hands/arms with technu or GOJO, or dawn and a wash rag in a pinch. Wipe off with paper towels and shower with an abrasive soap and wash rag. Clean tools by soaking in half water/dish soap or spray it on and let sit for a few minutes. Spray it on shoes. Wipe with a paper towel. Wipe with bleach wipes after dry. It seems like overkill until you have a bad rash that lasts for weeks.

Lol! My cat always jumps into my garden with me, and I have to chase her out😂

where are you in Florida

As pruning stems stimulates growth above ground, pruning roots in transplants has similar effect.

Maybe a spicy sweet potato dish? Since they're all growing in the same area?

Ants don't like coffee grouds

Hi, would it be possible to buy seeds from you? And do you recommend to grow them in small pot until they sprout.

Thank you so much ! You changed my life .
