    It is admirable how much you are teaching your son Teddy. He is very articulate and is a great role model for the kids. Great job!

      Thank you! We made a video recently potting them up in fact! We also used to make “planting pirate” videos a while ago showing us planting them in our yard. More propagation videos are in the works!

    I just can't believe you can go around so often and have such a large haul! People just throw them away left and right

    • @IslandsnHighlands
      @IslandsnHighlands  10 วันที่ผ่านมา

      I know it, I think because these plants grow so fast and there’s only so much space people have in their yards-but it’s awesome for plant hoarders like us!

    I love your son’s knowledge and enthusiasm for plants ❤🪴🪴 I know many times you collect plants you already have could your son pot up rooted plants and sell them for a few bucks, instead of throwing them away? I think he could have a nice little business for himself! He’s a great kid well done!🪴🌱🪴🎋🌺🌸

      @IslandsnHighlands  26 วันที่ผ่านมา +2

      Thank you! He loves plants and learning about them. We don’t throw them away-we plant them in pots and right back in our yard. In fact Teddy sold plants about a year ago at a plant market and did very well.

      Aww thank you-that is so sweet. How can you not be enthusiastic about the wonderful natural world we live in? We recently made one video showing how we pot up our cuttings-also very early on in our plant pirate videos we used to make planting pirate videos showing us planting our cuttings in our yard! We have more propagation videos in the works!

    It’s impressive. How well your son knows the names of these plants.
    Do you need rooting hormone or can you just stick them in the ground to see what happens? ? I’m blown away at how beautiful your garden is.

    • @IslandsnHighlands
      @IslandsnHighlands  26 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Thank you! We just stick them in the ground a lot of the time-however to give them a bit more of a chance we stick them in water for a few days (which will help them root better and faster). We also put them in potting soil in pots as house plants to keep a close eye on them and baby them. Fresh cuttings need to be treated like seedlings for the first few weeks they are planted to give them all the chances to live

    The only thing missing is the music when they are driving the Batmobile from the 60's Batman show when your driving the golf cart. Nice haul as usual, why not leave a note asking for a monstera cutting.

      @IslandsnHighlands  18 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Yes-funny story-Doug Flutie lives near us and actually drives the Batmobile around our area! He has given our boys a tour of it!! Night rider would be a good spinoff also! And thanks for the idea-we should leave a note for the monsters cutting!

    Tomatoes can be propagated via cuttings aswell!! they root so easily

    • @IslandsnHighlands
      @IslandsnHighlands  26 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Yes for sure! I broke that baby up and planted a huge patch. They struggle in the heat this time of year but if I can nurse it now we should have and abundance of tomatoes this fall

    Make sure you wear gloves because you are dealing with trash you donot know about .especially for the little guy. Protect his hands.

    • @IslandsnHighlands
      @IslandsnHighlands  26 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Yes, this is a great idea especially for Teddy. Will have to remind them next time to pack some gloves. It’s so early in the morning our minds aren’t totally sharp at our departure

    ❤❤🎉🎉 I’m learning the names of these plants from you guys. The Everlage tomatoe is awesome, just spread the seeds then you have them.

    • @IslandsnHighlands
      @IslandsnHighlands  26 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Yes! Everglades tomato seeds do not germinate unless fermented in the fruit so the best way to grow is to plant a tomato. And a tomato will grow a HUGE tomato plant
