I love the sound of thunder. It's so comforting to me. Even though it startles me every now and then. Lol.
Can't express how much I enjoy your videos. Thanks for the education.
Congrats on 9k subs!
C'mon peeps, let's get her to 10k!
Awww! thanks!
When I have half the space, WOW! I love the garden...
Thank you! It was cool seeing you a GWVL! Thank you again for your service! I'm in VRA and IC so we can chat more there if I can help.
22:03 doesn’t get more Florida then that ⚡️ 😅
😂 You're darn right!
I have been to some facebook groups specifically for FLORIDA GARDENING. many people ask for the questions you have already answered > Maybe you should join the groups and post some of your videos. That would be good for the groups and for your channel as well. Blessings
Thanks for the tips!
Would you mind elaborating on those peppers you grew, please? Not the jalapeños, aheesa, I think you called them.
What's the taste like? How to cook them? Are they spicy?where to get seeds? Etc. Thank you very much for sharing your experiences 🙏❤️
I am interested too
Found the spelling. I think it's ajies peppers.
Yes, Aji Dulces. I guess like a mild salad pepper type?
@@sonnybrown1399 Thank you guys and if you are also interested, I've grown Shishito Peppers successfully and they don't stress as much in Florida heat (zone 10 b)
@@mariap.894 zone 8b/N Florida and always some sort of peppers growing in my gardens. Still, yet to grow many varieties and always interested in "new" that works here. I pay close attention to David The Good channel as well
I was feeling bad about my August garden The heat came. We stopped being as active outside and everything went to pot. And we also need a chip drop To remulch our garden walkways. I see you got yours
Oh no! Don't feel bad. I think it is totally normal. Gardening in summer is the toughest in Florida. You'll turn it back around. 😄
Hello again 😁 This is what I've been waiting for, preparing your garden, motivation support and team work ! 😊 Thank you. I'm ready.
You got this!!!!
That is some hard work! Can't wait to see all your hard work paid off.
You and me both! 😂
I've only been to Florida once and loved it. Enjoying watching your garden. Your climate is about the opposite of mine lol
LOL! I'm glad you enjoyed. Shhhh... I watch gardeners in Alaska 😂
@@WildFloridian 😂😂
Loved this! I don't live in Florida but it was so Interesting to hear about how you prepare your garden 💚
Glad you enjoyed it!
Woooo!
Gots to absolutely have random piles of woodchips laying around...
I'm about to transition into winter gardening, but it's still too hot out-
Yay!!!!
I got a green house recently and im so exited to start seeds in the next few weeks. I have to prep the beds as well. They are so overgrown and full of weeds. I focused on the food forest during the summer. Waiting on blackberries and its finally settling in a year after planting.
Yay! Blackberries! I know I should get some... but the thorns. Are they bad?
@@WildFloridian I have the thornless variety. They are growing long vine like stems. I got 5 different types and my goodness all died back and now some are thriving. I have this one that is absolutely growing like mad. Im trying to figure out the best spots in the food forest since that's how I'm handling those types of plants.
Oh very cool and good to know!
I’m going to have to go hunting through your past posts. I just found you and I’m trying to get started growing vegetables in Punta Gorda.
Hi Linda are you growing roses ?
Yay Linda!
@@gerardbrennan7097 no. Food.
Any luck with the vegetables?
@@gerardbrennan7097 no. I thinks it’s the soil I tried to use. Also wild pigs and raccoons
We’re in the same boat, everything needs a major cleanup! I pulled my sad looking 12 pepper plants, they were still producing some but pretty stressed out sad versions. I want to try new varieties this year so need the space. 2 very prolific pepper repeats for sure will be Corbaci (sweet, lots of flavor), and pepperoncini (so good for pickling!). My banana plant is producing too (yay thanks for the advise!) and funny enough some of my lettuces are still going… not as well as yours but a surprise either way 😊 August finishes 1 year of gardening for me, onto year 2 of forever learning 🍅🙏🏼 Thanks for all your inspirational videos. Btw, DM me if you want some cool and unique seeds I can mail you… you’ve done so much for me and the community, thank you!!
I get the sad peppers! 😂🌶 🫑 I've never heard of Corbaci! Yay for your banana!!!!! 🍌 So it isn't just me with the lettuce.... huh... learned something new 😄 Happy 1 year Anniversary! You are too sweet! I would love some seeds. You can send it here:
200 2nd Ave S,
#431
St. Petersburg, FL 33701
I'm so excited for year 2 for you!
@@WildFloridianThanks 😁 Sent you some seeds that you should be getting any day now. I was going to include copies of the seed packets but time got away from me… and that would’ve been quite the project 😅 Enjoy!
A day on the front yard farm love it. LOL I say the same thing don't think I have enough mulch. Look forward to seeing cool crops.
Do you have roses on your garden ?
@@gerardbrennan7097 no roses in the garden any suggestions what to start with hardy to zone 10.
Well you can start with Cannas, snake plants, sedum and succulents
What other plants do you have in your garden ? Can you send me pic please if that’s ok
@@gerardbrennan7097 All great choices adding them to my list. Thank you!
Never heard of chip drop before. Just signed up. Can’t say no to free mulch!!
Free mulch is amazing!!!!
How do you get free mulch? What is a chip drop and is it available anywhere in Florida?
@@leem200 in kissimmee there is a webpage for the osceola county where you can get in contact and make an appointment. Maybe you should check your web page and find out. Blessings
Hello new friend
Great video. I found your channel when learning more about florida native plants. I love the front yard garden... Such a good use instead of the usual lawn.
I'm in saint petersburg as well but it's my first time gardening in florida. The growing season seems the opposite of everywhere I lived up north!
I've got a bunch of lovely seedlings in portable containers that i started about 2 weeks ago but worry about planting them in a permanent location because of the heat and heavy rain especially ( powdery mildew, nasty bugs, etc).
When would you feel safe about putting them in ground?
Cheers
Thank you! It depends what you are growing. I would keep young seedlings in semi shade. I think they will be challenged right now with the heat and humidity. Remember that in Florida classic vegetables get 4 to 6 hours of full sun because subtropical sun rays are stronger than sun rays up north. So they need less time. Also plants like peppers and tomatoes which are native to the Caribbean and Central America would naturally grown on forest perimeters. So the more you mimic that idea, the happier they will be. Best of luck!
@@WildFloridian I always started my seeds in August and they die. So I guess you are starting yours now. So was going to buy already started which is expensive. So Many things I do wrong. I guess its how we learn. Thank you.
Just found your channel and am appreciating your content very much. So informative! (I will be yanking all the lantana camaras around the property ASAP after watching your talk on those! Yikes!)
I'm a lifelong gardener, just moved to Florida from the PNW. Working on getting my garden started and boy am I in a huge learning curve. I have questions!! I'm looking for step-by-step instructions on how you started your garden area but haven't been able to find what I'm looking for in your playlists.
Did you remove the sod first? Did you lay down anything before your first layer of mulch or did you just smother it all out with the mulch? If I don't need to remove the sod, that would be a game changer.
Also, in one of your videos, you talked about laying down mulch and then bringing in soil? Can you explain the process or steer me to a video that explains it? 😁
Sugar Sand and crazy grasses. Oh my!
I’m so happy you found my channel! Check out the playlist on vegetable gardening. It shows a lot of the journey. I did not put card board down. Just a lot of much! 😄
In one small section I chopped and flipped the sod but mostly just smothered with mulch. And then I added some soil on top… which I didn’t do deep enough and caused some challenges
@@WildFloridian that is such a RELIEF! My achy back thanks you. Digging out 2000 SQ ft of grass is just not something my body is up for. Lol!
@@WildFloridian I wondered about that. As the mulch breaks down it's going to rob the plants of nitrogen. Seems like there needs to be enough of a soil barrier between roots and decomposing mulch, am I right? So I'm doing a little experiment... Laid down cardboard, then about 8 inches of mulch. Better to go deep than shallow, in my experience. I pulled the mulch back and created a 16" diameter hole down to the cardboard and filled it with good top soil, biochar, and compost. Planted some Echinacea in each hole. Covered planting area with mulch. What do you think about that process? I'm thinking of doing the same thing for my herb bed.
Thanks for the video! I’m trying to find Seminole pumpkin seeds. Are you able to post your source info?
He Theresa! The link is in the description of the video for Daisy’s Etsy shop.
@@WildFloridian I am not finding that link! What am I doing wrong? I’ve watched & listened to the video 4 times now!
Hi Theresa you can search on TH-cam how to find Seminole pumpkin seeds

In the description is the text that describes the video, you’ll see part of it on mobile and computer below the video and you can expand it, but not at all on tv. Hope that helps you in general 😉
7:46 a-who-say peppers? Never heard of them but would like to try them. Could you tell me the name of them please...loving your channel!!
Hello Lori how are you doing
Ajise Peppers 🌶🫑
@@WildFloridian Thank you!!
@@WildFloridian Where would I get these seeds? And when is a good time to plant them? Anytime in Florida? Thank you!!
Great video! Why didn't you want to take out okra? Curious, bc I started really late this spring and my okra is just now showing signs of produce. Question 2: have you ever grown potatoes in containers in FL? I want to try but have heard it will get mildew-ey.
If you search “Dan Permaculture” he grew potatoes in containers (Tampa area) and got a really good harvest this spring. Timing is everything here. Gotta choose a short-day potato and plant it during the dry season
@@elderberryjamz3654 May I ask what kind of potato did you use? Thanks in advance 🙏❤️
Thank you, @elderberryjams
@Brooke Hazard The okra is starting to put out flowers buds. I'm experimenting with Okra. So I'm just going to let it go and see what happens. I have not tried potatoes because I know they have a limited season and the white sweet potatoes taste just like regular spuds... so I figured stick with what is easiest and can grow year round.
How do you spell the name of those peppers?
Ajise peppers 🌶🫑
my papais die as soon as i plant them in the soil. The ones in the pot are doing great> Should i leave it in pot>?
Trying to motivate myself to do this today…do you find termites in chip drop? I’ve heard that and it makes me nervous
I see termites in mulch. Not crazy amounts but I have seen them wherever wood is breaking down.
Do you have an irrigation system with your garden?
Do you have Kim ??
Yes. Just a standard above ground yard irrigation.
@@WildFloridian Do you have a video about that? I've been thinking about doing it but I'm afraid is hard, is it?
@Maria P. it came with the house 🏡 we have paid a landscaping company to make adjustments and repairs... I haven't made the leap to learning about irrigation yet. So I don't feel qualified to give you advice. 😄
@@WildFloridian Thank you very much for the reply. Sending you lots of love and luck ❤️🍀
How do you protect your bananas from the squirrels?
I don't. I just take down the whole bunch when they start to turn yellow.
What part of FL are you in?
Central Florida - Pinellas County
@@WildFloridian sweet me too. I look forward to seeing more videos. I think they will be very helpful!
In which area of Florida are you?
What zone are you in?
9b/10a
Thanks I've just discovered your channel and need to catch up Thanks, for the inspiration. I have been getting my feet wet for the past few years, but I'm diving in now, planted my first mulberry and expanding out from there. Of course I'm starting out in my back to eden experiment, that is a few years old. So Thanks again.
Is there a better type of corn to plant in sw florida? And also do you sow in ground? Also cucmelon is it better than cucumber to plant in florid?
Hello Marilyn how are you doing
@Marilyn Earl Good question. I think David the Good has addressed different types of corn for Florida. I'm planning on growing sweet corn. I have... a couple of challenges I faced was grass grubs that ate the roots. Also I had a rabbit eat them too. Cucamelon is just native to the region... they are TIIIIIIINY. Like really tiny. I just am doing an experiment to see how they compare to regular cucumbers. I like to test things out.
@@WildFloridian I think I will try to plant corn in large fabric pots blocks of 3 or 4. I live in sw Florida zone 10
@@WildFloridian thank you for your reply.
What zone are you in? I'm in 9A,
I think.
Hello Nancy how are you doing
@Nancy Fahey I'm in 9b/10a... depends on the map. Pinellas county
I just love it when these gardeners pop in their devil's horn symbolism!!! That is when I stop watching!
What zone are you in?
9b/10a
