@@HomegrownFloridaZ9a I can tell right now only cabbage/lettuce/ rosemary/ basil are good for this...Never succeded to get fruits from cherry tomatoes. Mush beans also got sick of some fungi after 8 weeks and didn't get their maturity. Strawberry also got rotted ,spinach never ever germinated in this system.. So I am very sceptical about radishes who needs a short period of daylight... I try to shorten till 12 hours per day instead of 16 hours timer ( every day I should manually to switch on and off the power button..so exhausting and never know when to change water completely-.every 2 months I do it)
I live in Sarasota and I have a weird property because my sweet potatoes make very few tubers. Green beans always succumb to some sort of fungal wilt, my pineapples are 4 years old, no pups, no pineapples, okra never grew. Made 2 or 3 pods at most and they were horrible and woody. Kale, bok choy, cherry tomatoes and black eyed peas are always winners here though. Learning more each year. Thank you for all the great info!
I ALWAYS have fun hanging out at your garden, Petrina! Thank you for keeping the great content coming😊. I will share with my sister who is new to gardening.
Ok, you convinced me to grow radishes. I like the idea of cooking them. I'm going to give it a try. I also want to trim my hot pepper plant. It actually just stopped producing. I like knowing if I cut it back it will come back again. I really love my pepper plant. Thanks for all the info. Love watching your videos.
Beans to me are one of the easiest things to grow and there are so many varieties. You may want to tell people what ROI means. Took me a second to figure it out 😂😂😂 Great video. Keep em coming. 😊😊
I’ve found they do best when you put a bunch of seeds in a spot in the garden and basically forget about them. They like certain conditions to sprout and I’ve never been able to do it in trays. Eventually they just pop up. Usually around April or May.
The past 2 years I have taken a strawberry growing class at my local extension office. With the class I get 10 bareroot strawberry plants and I know they're a kind that will grow here. They always have the class right at the time we should be planting here. It just saves me from having to remember to order them and figuring out which kinds to order. Mint is supposed to be practically a weed but I can NOT grow it! I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong with it. I have trouble with thyme also. Maybe I love them too much lol. My boss has an amazing rosemary hedge in front of his house.
Since SoFlo is about to kick back into high-speed growing season, have you done a video on your irrigation setup for your raised beds? I'm about to get mine setup and I can't decide if I want to use drip/soakers or something like a shrubbler or wobbler emitter in my beds.
I haven’t done a video on that yet but if I could do it over again, I would opt for drip over my microsprayers. I think mine increase the possibility of disease more than drip.
I started with 2 jalapeños plants 3 yrs ago....promptly killed them. 1st lesson...don't overwater! I bounced back and grew a ton of peppers the next year. Every season now, I add new things.
Have you tried lavender or camomile. I have bith in my indoor hydrophonics . Looks very healthy but not flowering. I was wondering if they would do ok outdoors in a green stalk?
Chamomile, yes. The annual kind has done well for me outside. I have not had good luck with lavender yet but I keep trying. Hopefully one day I’ll figure that plant out.
Im new to gardening so going into it with fingers crossed. Im not crazy bout kale but id like to try. Can you tell me one that is sweet and grows in zone 9? I have subscribed to you and i think with your help ill do ok Thank you in advance.
I don’t believe the company ships there but I did find this Amazon link from another company selling their products. Hopefully this works for you - amzn.to/3NhAuVi
Used to grow green beans but the last 2 years i've had a bad problem with leaf miners. I'm using sticky traps and neem oil with limited success. Any other ideas?
So am I correct in learning that I can cut all my sweet banana and green peppers back and they’ll produce again as long as they look healthy? How tall should I leave the plants, 6” - 10”- 12”?
Yes, they should. I usually cut down to right above the lowest leaves. I’ve found if I cut below those leaves, sometimes they won’t grow back. If your area is frost free, no need to cut back.
We hire a tree company every 2 years and they trim all the branches that extend on our side. They have a small lift that they use and then they climb up the trees to cut them. We always let our neighbors know we are going to do it just so they are aware. Make sure to check with your county regarding the regulations since my county rules might be different from yours
Most of them are. I do have a few like the basil that’s an annual. I keep them in there year round. Once a year I add some compost but that’s about it.
I tried seed growing NOTHING germinated. Do i need that heat psd and all things they selling? Im new to gardening i. Y.. I did ok with plants but not that great haha Pretty plant but not to veggies
No, you shouldn’t need them. I start all my seeds outside. Are you in FL? Check out this video. It has all the steps for starting from seed. Let me know if you have any questions - th-cam.com/video/j-sjIxOOzbY/w-d-xo.htmlsi=QFWEXcrkw46vjX8E
What's your favorite beginner-friendly plant?
obviously cherry tomatoes and basil, mint/others are so hard to grow for me. radishes never get root-a real radish..(i live in zone 11b)

I am 6 months into my 1st FL garden. Sweet potatoes, sweet 100 tomatoes, and collards have been awesome!
Good picks! Those all do very well.

Every garden is different for sure. Bok choy hates me in my garden, lol
Just found your channel and am so happy I did! I'm in Central Texas on the 8A-8B line, and finding your information very helpful.
Welcome aboard! I’m glad you found me 💚
I always learn something new from your videos.

So glad you enjoyed. I always like to leave a couple leaves on my peppers just to make sure I don’t take off too much.
@@HomegrownFloridaZ9a Thanks, I'll try that.🤞
Radish top soup ;) If you roast radishes like you do say baby potatoes they will taste more like a potato.
Loved your video. This is the first year I'm growing sweet potato, it's great also how the leaves are edible.
That’s awesome!

Thyme eludes me too, lol. For mint, I neglect it and it loves that. I basically forget about it and it has survived for 3 years now. I barely water it

That is exactly how I do it. One plant at a time making small adjustments. My very first plant was a jalapeno too 💚

Where do you buy your strawberries? I have lettuce, snap peas & cilantro growing.
This year I got them locally on FB marketplace but in the past I got them from Berries Unlimited

I’m growing prism this year and it’s my favorite so far. Good luck 👍
Where did you get the large cherry tomato seeds? Those look awesome.
I typed in large red cherry tomatoes in goggle search and a number of companies came up that sell them 😊 I just ordered some from MIgardener.
I actually got mine from MIGardener too.
I will have to order some!

Leaf minors don’t affect the beans, just the leaves

@@HomegrownFloridaZ9a thanks, I’m jin Dunedin / 10A so maybe I’ll experiment and cut a couple back and leave the rest and see what I get.
@@2021-j2d that’s a good idea. Just in case.
Where do you buy your strawberry plants from in Florida I am in northern Florida
I use to get them from berries unlimited but this year I got mine from someone local on FB marketplace
How do you deal with the trees on the white fence , my neighbor does not trim his trees
We hire a tree company every 2 years and they trim all the branches that extend on our side. They have a small lift that they use and then they climb up the trees to cut them. We always let our neighbors know we are going to do it just so they are aware. Make sure to check with your county regarding the regulations since my county rules might be different from yours
Carrots, I still have some carrots growing in pots here in Chicago area.
Oh wow! That’s very cool
I live in Riverview, where can I buy the long bean seeds
I got most of my long beans from theurbanharvest.com. They are based out of St Pete.
Are the herbs in the greenstalk perennial? Does that mean you just leave them in there?
Most of them are. I do have a few like the basil that’s an annual. I keep them in there year round. Once a year I add some compost but that’s about it.
Thank you so much for answering! :)
@@tinal7573 my pleasure 😇
Return on investment is an accounting term. ROI
I probably should have elaborated on that one. It was a calculation we did often in my previous career. Thanks!
