6 Reasons Why Gardening in Florida is The Worst and How To Make It Better

- Why is Gardening in Florida so hard? There are at least 6 main reasons why gardening in Florida is different from gardening in Northern regions. Florida is located close to the equator with a subtropical climate which requires some adjustment if you want to grow the same fruits and vegetables that you did up north.
The heat and humidity make it challenging to garden outdoors from mid-May to mid-October. High temperatures make being outside for extended periods dangerous for some people with health conditions. Most of your garden variety vegetables are not used to Florida heat and will suffer in the summer. Good thing about the Sunshine State is that you can grow food year round! To make the most of your sub-tropical garden, grow annuals during the cooler months and in summer focus on cultivating tropical perennials like bananas, papaya, mangoes, avocados, and more.
“Full sun” does not mean “full sun” when growing in the Sunshine State. The noon sun is more intense here and will damage the delicate foliage of your plants unless they are specifically bred for this climate. Your plants will thrive in partial sun especially if they receive morning sun and protection from the sun during the hottest part of the day. If you can’t find partial shade, consider using a shade cloth.
Another reason your garden is looking sad is because of fungus. The rain and humidity create the perfect environment for Mold, Mildew and Fungus to thrive. It’s hard to get rid of because they live in the damp soil. One natural way to get rid of pathogenic fungus is to cultivate beneficial fungi by making your own compost. Thanks to our environment you can make a batch of really nutritious and biologically active compost in about 3-4 months over the summer.
Floods make gardening in Florida a real pain. Most of the state is at sea level and when it rains- it floods. Most plants can not handle living in standing water for long periods of time so by growing in raised beds your plants have a higher chance of survival. It’s not a stylistic choice. It’s a necessity. Also, invest in metal garden beds, because due to mold, termites and humidity wood ones will rot in 18 months.
Florida native soil is sand, if you can even call that soil. Nutrients leach out of the sandy soil when it rains and the soil has a hard time retaining water during periods of drought during cooler months. A way to improve Florida soil naturally is to add lots of organic matter in the form of compost, leaf mold, seaweed, and topping soil with woodchips. You can also use hugelkultur style of gardening or banana circle.
And who can forget about bugs! We have swarms of mosquitoes, caterpillars, grasshoppers, moths, termites, cicadas just to name a few and they make being outside unbearable. One way to keep bugs from eating your plants naturally is to grow your garden outside of the bugs swarming season. For us that means during the cooler months when the bugs are “asleep”. Starting seeds in April/May is a bad idea because that’s when most insects hatch and are hungry. Also keeping your plants healthy will deter bugs as healthy plants do not taste as good to them as sick and stressed ones.
Gardening in Florida isn’t hard - it’s just different. And if you know how to adjust you’ll be reaping harvests of swamp cabbage and bananas in no time! - บันเทิง

Thank you for speaking to habitat loss. Developers here do everything fast and cheap, keeping no trees and protecting no habitats. Then they plant a scant few species of young trees that aren't native and don't get cared for, therefore many don't make it or just remain vulnerable to problems. Florida is an empty promise for folks who think it's a great place to escape problems that are really just part of our entire cultural and economic systems. Florida is sold as a (sub)tropical destination for consumers and unsustainable lifestyles, when in reality it's a cultural and ecological responsibility. Stand up to representatives and councilpersons who don't put our ecosystems (and water table) above the clamoring demands of development companies investment buyers. We don't need any of the strip malls and overpriced neighborhoods being put up at breakneck speed, here. We need shade and root systems to hold soil and water at bay.
Start with BlackRock. The CEO is Bidens best friend and right hand man in the White House, his wife makes foreign policy, and his son and daughter also work in the White House, so right there you can demand Biden order BlackRock to stand down.
So true! It's scary to think what the future holds for Florida if these issues aren't addressed. People come here to escape and consume. The amount of garbage I pick up when out and about is infuriating.
“We don’t need any of the overpriced neighborhoods.”
Sounds like you got yours and everyone else can get screwed.
Easy to say we don’t need new housing while we have a housing shortage and people can’t find an affordable place to live.
Amen to that
i agree, the trees that developers/landscapers plant are mostly dwarf and hybrid varieties that barely grow and dont grow many or big leaves. the reason they do this is because they want trees that need no maintenance, dont drop a lot of leaves or branches etc. they are just planting the trees to check off boxes that towns have requiring you to plant a certain amount of trees per 10,000 square feet or whatever it is. but 99 percent of towns dont care what trees you plant as long as its technically a tree. its very sad....we are eventually going to lose our great trees like big oaks etc
I genuinely enjoyed your bad southern accent far more than I should have. 😂 Far more than I should have. Thanks “Pat Wilde”
As a natural born Florida Man there are tears in my heart for how true this is about habitat loss, hopefully we will all wake up and start protecting our natural magic before we help it disappear.Thanks for a good video.
I hope so too!
There already are millions of acres in Florida which belong to the state and federal government which can’t ever be developed. Most of the state is undeveloped, especially in the interior. Most people live in few cities close to the water.
@UberGastronomer I am praying the right lobbyist doesn't ever pay off the right government official.
I'm in S. Florida inland. I have 2 growing seasons. In September I start planting out tomatoes and green beans, in October I plant out leafy greens like lettuce, kale, spinach etc, in late October I plant out cabbage, cauliflower & broccoli. In early November I plant out bulbing oinions.All these grow through winter and into spring. In March & April I plant out cherry tomatoes, sweet potatoes, okra, black-eyed peas lima beans, yardlong or noodle beans, eggplant, peppers, tropical greens like Lagos spinach, amaranth, Malabar spinach.
where do you find these types of spinaches? i did baby's leaf and failed twice, even planting in february in semi-shade. oh, mustard lettuce loves us, btw, will go year 'round, and adds a nice spicy kick to salad (and makes great horseradish-like dressing)
@@Which-Craftlook online or at a local nursery. Big box stores will not have anything like this.
Mayan Spinach also. Gardening in Florida isn't difficult it's just that most people want to plant Northern classic vegetables in growing zone 11 and it doesn't work. I'm in 11a and I get tomatoes all year round. We have indigenous Everglades tomatoes that produce 365 days. Hot peppers will grow all year round and you can get dinner plate size cauliflower and broccoli as long as you plant it in the appropriate month and I live across the street from the beach in sandy soil. Even Florida grande peach.
@Which-Craft Lagos and Malabar spinach seeds can be purchased through Echo Global Farm website or at the Farm in Ft. Myers. But other some seed companies carry them too.
Pat needs an entire video LOL
I love the raccoon just frolicking on by
I love your guest star Pat Wylde! She should return in the next episode if she's not floating down the river with a cold one. Get them skeeters Pat!
Enjoyed! Haven't been so delightfully amused in a while. I am a renegade caretaker of a regenerative organic food forest farm in central Florida, and could not agree with you more.
Will add one thing - plant lots and seed cultivate / seed save your best. I have started 20 or more seeds from a single pack where only 1 did well, but the seeds from that plant all grew into healthy thriving plants.
Many seed varieties are produced in environments vastly different than Florida, so most of those seeds are not genetically suited for FL. Also beware that new local many seed cultivators are saving the seeds from their best plants for themselves, and selling you seeds from less successful survivors. Finding good local seed (and live plant) sources, and saving your own best seeds, is paramount.
One thing to note about developments in Florida is how they affect rain. As someone who used to live east of The Villages, I would rarely see summer rains unless they came from the south because the heated air over The Villages would cause storms coming from Tampa/Inverness to dump all the water there. By the time the systems moved into cooler areas east of the Villages the clouds would be mostly spent. And this isn't just some anecdotal observation. If you have a radar app, you can watch the storms on a daily basis. All highly developed areas (Tampa, Orlando, Gainesville, The Villages) will get heavy rains starting around 1 pm. Undeveloped areas will get little rain comparatively speaking.
That's wild, I'm a CFL native and that explains why we've been so dry the last few years with all the new developments around us. God help the Sunshine State, I'm a nurse and basically homeless 🙃
That makes sense. Did not see this trend; thanks for pointing it out. We're east of Orlando in a less populated area and rain is falling all around us in the more populated areas. Did not connect those dots thinking it was just nature.
Weather has been unusual this year. For the past decade+ I've been watching radar to track storms (not religiously, but pretty regularly) and every year the storms have moved as I stated, west coast northeast to east coast. This summer I have seen that pattern maybe 2 or 3 times. But, again, I don't watch it everyday.
Love your video!!!... In 1954, I was born & grew up in Plant City, FL...I live & garden in east Tampa, FL...I REQUEST THAT EACH & EVERY PERSON WHO DECIDES THEY DON'T LIKE FLORIDA TAKE ANOTHER PERSON WITH YOU UNDER EACH ARM AS YOU LEAVE...THANX SO MUCH!!!!
Love Plant City and their strawberries!
I grew up in Miami...you are sooo right!❤
I laughed so hard at Pat but her info was spot on!! I've had to add tons of leaf mulch to retain moisture and put in makeshift shading as the only way to save my garden from the extreme heat this year. Gardening in Florida is hard but can be done. Thanks!!
North Central FL here. Last yr I grew Kiwano horned melons through the summer and they did fine. Nice to see a channel devoted to our special environment. Thx.
Moved to southwest coastal Florida from Colorado thiree years ago, this season, I finally got control of a serious nematode and southern wilt problem but I planted too late. My tomatoes and cukes were growing like gangbusters with no wilting but then the intense heat stopped them in their tracks. Beautiful, healthy plants but no fruiting. Going forward, I am going to plant in late October instead of early March.
Sorry to hear about your cukes - we have a very small window to get them started and producing. I do succession planting every week starting in January. To avoid nematodes destroying your tomato plants, you can over-summer them in containers placed in the shade until temps cool off.
what did you do for nematodes and wit? TIA
@@wilsonline90 It's a labor intense process but it seems to have worked. The yard here was always sod and it was a rental house so the yard was super neglected. The yard was dry, sterile sand basically. Perfect envioronment for wilt and nematodes. I had wilt in Colorado but not like the 'southern wilt.' It almost made me want to cry when my seemingly super healthy pepper and tomato plants would just wilt overnight. Anyway, numero uno was purchasing wilt and rkn resistant seeds. There are actually very tasty hybrid tomato and pepper varieties. Amending the soil with a lengthy list of organic matter is critical. Turning the sokl over repeatedly to expose it to UV is important.
@@gerrylavelle8433 thanks. I heard clay might be a solution. But I have no idea where to get clay.
More Florida specific garden advice would be great.
Noted!
I like Pat. The tip to have your garden in morning sun and afternoon shade is definitely HUGE when it comes to vegetables in Florida. I am over in Pinellas County myself. I need to get back to posting vids. Great job!
I grew up down south! And that Florida Mam is right up my alley!😂
You can bake biscuits in your mailbox 😂😂😂love your content ! Funny and full of info. Love both of your accents
Nicely done - even the humorous portions were informative and I like how you emphasize the need for us all to avoid pesticides and herbicides. Keep fighting the good fight!
That was a cute video and very accurate. It’s a little different up here in Florida’s Great Northwest, I grow broccoli pretty easily in the winter, but from July to September, there’s not much use in trying to grow anything except okra and cowpeas, but they’re both great, so why not. If you have established tomatoes, and they haven’t died of disease or pests by July, they have to have shade cloth or they won’t set fruit, but I usually pull them in July. I usually start my spring tomatoes and peppers in January, and have they in the ground by February. The peppers are more hardy than the tomatoes, and will live through the brutal summer, and give me a second crop when the temps come down. Last summer, I took my meat thermometer out and stuck it in the soil in all my beds. My soil temp was in the mid-90s. Nothing will germinate in that except okra and cowpeas, and as we speak, here in July, my garden is full of okra and different cowpeas.
I need another video. I like your videos. They are light and informative.
Growing vegetables in the Summer is a no go in Florida. I grow fruit trees instead and converted a large portion of my yard to a bee and butterfly habitat using Florida native plants and ground cover. My tomatoes reseed themselves and grow back every Spring. I’m hands off with that which is great. My sweet potatoes are also left to regrow as they please. I no longer stress over it and try to fight nature. No chemicals are used and only organic fertilizers when needed.
Yes, it took me a few years as a northern transplant to “discover” the Florida gardening truth. Good job highlighting the essentials…and….I share your pain about the disappearing habitat. Can I just say that I enjoyed tremendously your southern alter ego….Make no apologies. Your creativity and sense of humor are delightful!
So nice of you!
Brilliant! Thank you. Great info with humor - you nailed it. 🤣 We have a tiny farm east of Orlando and have struggled with organic gardening. Raised beds are recommended. We are still working it out. Never give up!
I find your alter-ego very sexy. I’ve been in Florida WAAAAAAAY too long! 😂😂😂😂 Thank you for a fun and informative video.
Lol. Funny stuff!
I lived in South Florida for many years but spent as little time outside as possible!
Finally got the hell out after 10 yrs and came back to Virginia where the humidity is horrible as well but at least we have seasons!
Good luck!
Some good thoughts. I was born and raised here, but I feel like I'm still figuring it out.
Thanks for sharing this video! I recently moved to Florida and "learning" to garden in new climate 😀Also zone 9B
So good video. Thank you. 🙏 start garden , but it’s not so doing well , it’s hot and need a lot water
North East Florida here. You are spot on. Thanks for making this video❤
Loved this. Informative and funny
Love Florida. Its such a versatile place, if you can learn to think outside the box.
I'm working on permaculture and Florida native annuals like Seminole Pumpkin, Roselle and Cassava. Going great thus far!
Awesome to hear!
Yep this summer has been horrid for my backyard garden. I've had to leave it clear because it's unbearable for me and the plants.😢
Love this!!! So true!!! My mom and I are gardeners up in north west Florida, and we have been here almost five years and are still figuring out the seasons. Sometimes we are surprised by what works…. It’s constantly an experiment which I like. Also we do garden organically with permaculture practices
Entertaining and informative! We have been down here in S FL for six years, and all the rules have changed. Feels odd starting veggies in Sept, but definitely works. Glad to have found your channel, thanks for sharing.
Great content, love that its goofy and you enjoy being silly! And i learned something too thank you!
Absolutely right on with the sand. But it gets way hotter in most of the south. Love Bug season hits twice a year (May and September). Snow Bird season seams to be year-round now, but you kinda referenced that. Florida is becoming less and less Florida now, and at an insane pace.
The hate is not really a problem when it comes to gardening. in Florida we have a year-round growing season. thanks to how warm the winters are most of the time you can plant tomatoes in the fall and even winter
That was so funny with the 4 seasons. Everything that was said was true. Very concerned this year at the dramatic lack of butterflies and bees, the overbuilding and loss of wildlife habitat. Making very different plans for our garden this coming year to adapt to the horrible human changes that have taken place in our area of Central Florida. Currently growing avocados, watermelon, tomatoes, potatoes, pineapples, multiple varieties of peppers, squash, snap peas, lettuce varieties, stevia, catnip, chocolate mint, mint, oregano, rosemary, Thai basil, thyme, onions and corn. Also growing jatropha, hibiscus, lantana, buddleia, cuphea, aloe vera and awapuhi. The humidity has been horrendous this year but strangely the temperatures have not been any different from the last three years.
Thank you for talking about habitats/ environments. ❤❤
Florida is growing so fast and too many new buildings everywhere. Sadly !
I remembered 30 yrs ago travelling thro the KEYS. We can see ocean on right side and left side. The beauty was unbelievable untouched. Now, you can drive but you wont see a darn thing until you reach to the last KEYS. 😢
Loved this video! The fart in a fan factory joke is still the reason I'm a subscriber.
Thank you for the helpful video on gardening.
I like to sprout tropical fruit seeds after I eat the fruit. I just love that I can grow mamey, sapodilla and soursop seedlings on my patio. I haven't been doing it long enough to see the trees will last, but here's hoping! 🤞
Very enjoyable!!! Well done!
Thank you! Cheers!
Hey Christina
Your friend is almost as beautiful as you are. Thanks to you both for another great vid.
Perfect video!
This video was amazing 🎉and I learned a lot
Florida is a pain to try to learn how to grow. Not only is it divided into North, Central, South but inland is totally different than coastal in each divide. So say you are in North Florida. The panhandle is remarkably different that inland North Florida. And so on
Yep!🤦🏻♀️
So challenging 🤷🏻♀️
Well done and highly entertaining. I suggest using american beauty berry leaves and southern was myrtle to keep the bugs away in the summer from my skin. I use southern wax Myrtle in the winter.
I put the leaves in a crock pot with oil over night. Neither no see ums not mosquitos like the smell which i find pleasant.
Fun and informative video. I’m in south Florida and I just tried a few container veggies and fruits. Unfortunately, I started them way too late in the season and they are all burning up in the heat along with being eaten by squash bugs…. I will try again later this year but it would really help to have a step by step guidance. How much water, how much sun, and how to test the soil to align with what individual plants want. Thank you.
thank you great job on video ive lived in Florida all my life and many years ago old timers always said paradise has a price i will gladly take the skeeters over snow birds have a great day
First time I've seen your channel. Pat made me a sub😂!
Fantastic
Summer sweet potatoes! They are strong all through the heat
Southeast Texas here. We have similar challenges. The "full sun != full sun" advice was given to me by an employee at a local plant nursery and has completely changed the way I garden.
Save the old growth trees!! Permaculture is love. Thank you for the fun information. I was cracking up 💜💙🩵🌸🌟
Boy oh boy is Pat Wild WILD....
😂❤
Good. Loke to visit .
Great video as always, you should come north in Canada so that you can only grow from May to October.. :) With mosquitoes and every little possible insects... :) You would love it! Hope to see you soon!
A seasoned gardener in Florida will not suggest a metal garden bed. They hold heat in the soil way more and can cook the roots and dry the moisture up. Wood beds in Florida only.
Correct, must have a 50% shade cloth to protect both plants and metal containers from excessive heat.
One thing I just found out (the hard way). You can easily get 2 dormant seasons. One in the winter, one whenever theres even a short drought in summer heat.
Yes, but there are 3 different areas, North Florida growing is different from middle Florida 5:58 and South Florida growing Is different again. So keep that also in mind
Love your pet raccoon!!!
Lol! He's not really a "pet", more of a tomato and corn tax collector.
@@foreverfoodforest I like your sense of humor...."tax collector"
Have you done anything with terra preta? It’s an excellent solution to Florida rain washing out all your soil nutrients.
I’m moving to Florida next year, I currently live in Maryland and I love growing my tomatoes, watermelons and peppers. Would a shade cloth help with the heat allowing them to fruit?
It may work, depending on the variety and the amount of irrigation you can provide. I've had better luck with peppers than tomatoes in the heat. Jury still out on watermelons. If you grow in ground, watch out for root knot nematodes as will destroy your crops during summer, unless you grow resistant varieties. The good news is that you can grow tomatoes here from September to May as long as you keep an eye out for frost.
Just plant mango and avocado trees. They love south Florida. Pineapples and bananas are a lot smaller but no place in the continental USA is better for growing tropical fruit.
Cheers fellow earthlings
Look for substitutes. Grow Mexican pepicha when you can't grow cilantro which is usually from late April- mid October. Pepicha might self sow but I am pretty sure it isn't frost tolerant at all so it will not survive as a perennial herb. It does tolerate hot temperatures unlike cilantro so it can grow during the summer months.
Great idea. What else do you suggest?
@@shanonallen5395 Some mediterranean plants like perennial arugula (Diplotaxis tenuifolia) do well in Florida. South Sea Salad tree cultivars like Kiko's Crump (Abelmoschus manihot) is a good substitute for lettuce. African potato mint (Plectranthus rotundifolius) It's a mint but produces small tubers that might look like small potatoes. It dies back in the winter just like turmeric. It takes a little time to come back up from the roots in the spring but don't give up on it. Some Andean plants native to South America even do well in Florida like Yacon (Smallanthus sonchifolius) and Edible Canna Lily. (Canna edulis) Sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas) is probably the best perennial vegetable to grow in Florida. The other nice thing about it is you can also cook the leaves like spinach unlike regular potatoes.
You grow sweet potatoes in the summer in Florida? What month do you plant your potato slips in? Also what part of florida are you in?
I'm in Central Florida, Orlando to be exact. I stick the slips in the ground at the beginning of May and harvest sometime in November or whenever the foliage starts to turn yellow.
I'm in orlando, too, but i live in a multi-dwelling complex. do you have advice for container gardening on a covered balcony/patio? morning/midday sun only. so far, only the mustard lettuce and store bought green onions are willing to stay here. Pat needs to admit she's a transplant from GA, not enough surfer in her accent lol
She has a pukka shell necklace - is that not enough to give her surfer cred? lol!
Morning/Mid day sun is the best! Get yourself a good potting mix that holds moisture. You can grow Everglades variety of tomatoes, and maybe even some dwarf varieties of fruiting trees in big 25 gal nursery pots (my go to is Fignominal variety of figs, and Wurtz Avocado). Use vertical towers for strawberries/herbs/lettuces. You can grow turmeric/ginger in 10-15 gal pots. Grow blueberries in self watering pots! I don't know how far you are from the Eola Sunday Farmers Market, but Sherwood Gardens has a lot of great plants bred for our climate!
@@foreverfoodforest Haha! can't downplay the puca shell necklace, you're right! Thank you for the advice! No trees, since I'm in a condo and only have a small covered balcony, but I'm taking notes for sure! I'm in Altamonte, assuming the market is on Lake Eola - which "side"? Where is Sherwood Gardens?
Is there any cool vines like a kiwi that could be strategically used as a sunshade for the hottest months?🌱🌱💚💚
Sure are! Passionfruit, loofah squash, and sweet potatoes (if trained to go up a trellis) are some that can handle the summer heat!
@@foreverfoodforest Whoever the blonde chick is she seems fun
Love Pat Wild! 🤣
Pat looks like my neighbor
Took me half the video, to figure out the second character is played by the first,,,😂
Hilarious. Thank you from Tropical Mexico
Florida is the best, not the worst, for growing plants
Definitely on point with our 4 seasons 😂🤣
Enjoyed the video 💯 %
Where are you? We’re in Lake Worth, Florida.
Nice! You get to enjoy that coastal breeze. I'm in the middle of Orlando!
you remind me of Janeane Garafalo :)
The chemicals in the water are turning the frogs gay
I am saddened by the habitat loss. They spray herbicide in our canals and it makes me so angry. Dredging is too hard so they use cancer causing chemicals.
Much of Florida’s soil can have a basic pH because of the limestone
Yes, it really depends on your micro region. I'd love to find some limestone here!
Sounds about like South Texas gardening also
It’s very similar!
Being new to gardening is very confusing with the "sun /full sun" plants and veggies lol. I always ask, does full sun really mean fun sun? Like straight up baking in the Texas/Florida heat type of full sun lol. Still getting used to when and want to plant. Safe to say my bell peppers, although still in shade, didnt like like the heat we have.
Any way though, i love all your videos and learned to make LABS from you, so thank you!
💚💚💚
The worst? Really? I live in the high desert. It's June 6th, and i just barely started planting. 🤷♀️
Hot peppers!
I bet that Florida Ma'am was from Gainesville! 😂
lol! Close, legend goes that her family’s been farming raccoons for 3 generations in Micanopy.
Agree 100 percent
Hope everyone thinks like her.
up north only has a season to grow, and y'all have the whole year.
Spring prep soiland plant, summer maintenance, fall harvest, winter clean and reshape for next year.

It's so sad 😢
This state used to feed the country at one time until the carpet baggers decided to buy and develop all the farmers land then they want to develop everything. Then the politicians saw the money 4:00
First comment! You're hilarious.
Thanks! Just keepin' it silly!
mosquitos hate rosemary too, and you'll be safe from the neighborhood cats
safe from neighborhood cats? cats are the least of anyone's problems. squirrel deer rabbits ground hogs rats etc do way more damage and are much more destructive
@@cantwealljustgetalong2 AHEM. She was rubbing the catnip on herself to ward off mosquitos. I sincerely doubt squirrels, rabbits, ground hogs (which don't live in FL anyway) etc care about her catnippy aroma. the cats will (love it). please watch the video before you jump on people?
@Which-Craft ahh youre right. im sorry lol....i confess i didn't even watch the video otherwise i woulda understood what you meant. sorry about that!
@@cantwealljustgetalong2 no problem
Stop using pesticides yeah, but herbicides are also a big problem.
Very true. There are so many manicured lawns here that are doused in herbicides and fertilizers.
