I like listening to the old timers share their knowledge and experience. Thanks for sharing 👍

That makes two of us. Wish I could spend more time with him. MAKE it a great day!

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.

[@baneverything5580]

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.

What a wealth of information!!!

[@Louisianagardening]

He really is. He doesn’t plant until after Easter, but I’m ready to learn more this spring. 😃

[@SouthernGardeningGal]

So good to hear your voice, Mr. Bourque!

[@Louisianagardening]

Sure is! Can’t wait for spring when he’s back in the garden. He doesn’t plant until Easter, so we’ve got a ways to go.

[@JohnJohnson-up2hk]

Priceless! ❤

[@Louisianagardening]

Glad you found it helpful!

[@kickfitlafayette8119]

Can’t wait for the new garden space at the gym! Any fruit trees going in?

[@Louisianagardening]

We will definitely put in a few Japanese plum trees!

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

[@Louisianagardening]

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
