I did my sweet potatoes last summer with 3 slips in a five gallon potato grow bag. I got a lot of greens which is why I grew them. This spring I took the remaining vines, cut them and stuck them back in the dirt of the same pot, added some fertilizer, and wow, they came back and is growing supper fast. I never got sweet potatoes last year, but that's ok, I love the greens in my cooking. I'm not big on raw veggies.

Thanks Elise for this great info. Just got done with our first time growing tomatoes here in Tampa Bay. I noticed our plants got very yellow and started dying off very quickly. We didn’t plant until March, in 20 gal pots inside our pool cage. 2 early girls and 1 heirloom that started strong and limped across the finish line. Was not the yield I was hoping for but what we did harvest was delicious. My question to you is that I bought a gage for the soil and found ph between 7-8. I read tomatoes need 6-6.5 nothing we did seemed to lower the ph. This next season we will try again but would like to know what amendments to use in our pots to help them? Wondered if the things you used in your blueberry planting video would be appropriate?
@TheUrbanHarvest4 жыл бұрын
That was a little late, Our prime tomato growing season is fall (Aug/Sep). Spring tomatoes have to planted very early and you have to be ok with and know they will only produce a short while. Ph correction is usually a very slow process, if you "kept trying without results" you may have over corrected. Dont do a thing this summer and retest in fall. Also home Ph meters are notoriously variable, so perhaps send it to IFAS for a more reliable test. But in my experience 7 is just fine for tomatoes. My compost sits at 6.8-7 and I grow lots of them just fine! As for amendments blueberry amendments are not fitting for tomatoes. I like to add nutrients high in nitrogen and calcium for tomatoes.

thanks for making this video. I'm getting the opinion that maybe I might really be able to leave California for good and still survive in Florida. It is vital to me to grow my own food if possible and greens are my number one ingredient for green juicing and salads which is basically my entire diet hehe. I suppose in Lake County I could also grow lemon trees which I eat a lot of, and I hear there's a Florida avocado but doesn't have many fans. So I suppose I'll have to import my avocados from California. (I eat 3 a day, roughly). One question, I also exist on a ton of celery, is celery not a good option during the summer heat of Central Florida? I suppose carrots will do fine, cucumber and radish too. What else do I eat a lot of? Broccoli and sweet peas, sweet onions. I'm assuming sweet peas and onions will do alright but I'm guessing broccoli will bolt. Is that true? Thanks for your attention.
@TheUrbanHarvest3 жыл бұрын
We grow avocados here, there are a number of varieties even haas types that do fine. All of the crops you mentioned are cool weather crops here from fall through spring. None of them will grow through the summer heat so you would have to preserve them in some way or use substitutes. I use fordhook chard for celery, rat tail radish for radish, chives and scallions for onion, etc.
