Thank you so much for making this channel! I feel like the info I get from other sources don’t work well because everything is different in FL.

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.

This is incredibly helpful information, especially on the perennial greens. I'd welcome hearing more about perennial food plants and native edible species for FL. Thank you!

Exactly the kind of specific information so many of us busy hard to find time gardeners crave. Thank you for this video.

Thank you! Your video is very helpful. I hope you continue to make videos as we go through the seasons. I’m in Leesburg, Central Florida.

Malibar spinach loves the heat. The thick green stem variety produces a massive yield to preserve for the winter. The thin purple stem variety has a much lower yield but doesn’t take up as much space

I have been binge watching your channel, and I am loving it! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with rest of us in Florida . There are not much channels for Florida weather and I am so glad I found you. I have two new beds, and I am struggling to grow something in summer. I don’t want to block them for fall garden so I don’t want to grow sweet potatoes . My kids love spinach and arugula, they just munch on them like a cow lol can you recommend a leafy green that kids would love to eat. I tried Malabar spinach a few years back and I didn’t like it . Also, do you sell seeds? We are in Jacksonville.

Wow! That’s a lot of greens!

Thankyou so much for this information!!! I’ve been wondering what leafy greens would be great for the summer months here in Vero Beach!! I enjoy all of your videos and have learned so much from you, as I’m a beginner gardener!! God bless you!

I'm glad to learn about katuk and a couple others you mentioned in this video. I'm not sure if they will all grow as successfully here in Jackson Mississippi (Zone 8b) but I would like to give some of them a try. Our weather is so unstable, as crops get exposed to nearly everything you can imagine so it can be a real challenge to garden year round. But growing a number of different varieties of plants really helps overcome the occasional failure now and then. Thanks for making your videos and sharing your knowledge.

Most bean leaves are edible too and tasty young..blackberry leaves make a nice tea..lots of leaves make a nice tea lol

Another excellent video, thank you so much! I started growing leafy greens thanks to you and I have been enjoying them since.

Thank you. My dad and I were just wonderung about this.

You are my new favorite channel, thank you for your wisdom and great production quality of the channel! 🫑🍅🥒

I learned so much! I’m definitely subscribing to your channel. I’m in Gainesville and struggling with what to grow here.

I'm frustrated... As a fellow Florida gardener, I should have found this channel much sooner!

Thank you for this info. I'm in Houston and I found this very informative. I have had very low hopes for collards past early spring, but I'm going to give them more of a shot.

So many native edible greens grow wild here ..usually called weeds .a lot of them taste amazing.

Great video! You may also add Malabar spinach, moringa and chili pepper leaves (I like tabasco). We also eat the young leaves of bitter gourd & chayote.

My go to "Burg" garden expert! Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

WoW! Newbie here. My fordhook chard isn’t nearly the size of yours. It’s delicious though.

Thank you, your videos have help me so much this past year. Thank you from Fernandina

Most of my kale does just as good in the heat as my collards. Especially my dinosaur kale, as long as they get daily water.

Thank you! I live in Mulberry and last summer was hard for me trying to grow leafy greens.

Thank you. I am going to try opoppeo, amaranth to see how it goes. Thanks again !!

I love chaya . So tasty

Hi Elise Love your channel. You recommended amaranth to plant in the summer as a leafy green in Florida. There are many amaranths to choose from, which one would you recommend best for our central Florida summer heat? Thank you for all your videos !!!!!

Thank you so much for your helpful videos🥰

Awesome ..well done

This is wonderful video. Thank you so much!

Great tutorial Very informative

I must first say you are awsome and very helpfull! I hope you get a laugh out of your face when you look at the end of time stamp 20:26 in your video 😜

Very informative. I subscribed. Thank you

Echo global ministries ( North ft myers)has Ethiopian kale

My collards started bolting in our heat , so I harvested all of it. It's in full sun so I may try again in a shady spot.

I missed at what part of Florida are you at? Best videos, thank you

Thank you for video. It was very helpful. Quick question, can I grow swiss chard in a 1 or 1.5 gallon grow bag? How much dirt/height is recommended for the roots? Thank you in advance

I just read that pink eye purple hull cow pea leaves are edible too! I was unaware of this fact. I haven’t tried them yet but definitely will towards the end of my harvest. Have you heard of this before?

I wish you would show the spelling of the veggies you are talking about so that we can look them up to find them and buy them. It is hard to tell just by hearing the name. Thank you!

Can you recommend a good plant ID app? I have some kind of spinach growing up here in North Florida and I'm not sure what it is. I know it's not longevity, I have that growing in a container elsewhere in the yard. Thank you for these great informative videos.

I just moved to Florida and started following you to try and get some planting and growing guidance and advice. When do people start gardening here as far as growing tomatoes and zucchini etd?

Your raised beds has tin sidings ,that is going to cook both soil and vegetables ---am I right --Florida

I just found your channel and am in love! I moved to zone 8b in FL this month and really want to start a garden. Not sure what I'm doing but I am determined to learn. I'm interested in attending a class and I've missed the ones listed here. Will there be more?

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?

Swiss chard is great will it grow in full sun in June

Heart Village Nursery in Lake Wales has Katuk and Longevity Spinach. Look up their website and call before you go to make sure they have the items you want. I haven't been able to make it out there, so I'm not sure if you need to book an appointment. heartvillage.org/village-nursery/

I have such a hard time having the Swiss chard seeds to germinate. Any tips please?

Will these greens grow well in containers in Ft Meyers? Thanks for sharing 😊

Enjoyed your videos, especially being that o live in Orlando. Please tell me what type of mulch/covering you are using on your ground. Does it keep the weeds out?

I tried growing collards during summer and they all died. Too hot. I live in central florida (ocala florida) so be sure to know what to plant in your zone and when.

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.

I live in the riverview (south of Brandon area) and was wondering if you can recommend any nurseries that I may be able to find some of the plants that you mentioned. I am brand new to gardening and am trying to have a garden that provides the majority of our food.

Don't a lot of these greens contain oxlates? I recently had a discussion with a friend regarding this. What are your thoughts?

New sub here thanks for sharing

Hi there!! I have not been able to find seeds for the majority of the greens mentioned in this video. Do you locally sell?

Thank you can yo grow katuk in GreenStalk?

Can we grow stinging nettle in south Florida ???

What is the variety of Amaranth that you like to use? Both for the leafy vegetables and for the grain?

where is a good supplier of quality seeds for perennial vegetables or edible plants for the central Florida climate?

Have you ever tried New Zealand spinach ?

I wanna know where you bought you white picket fence. Irma took mine out. Looking for a wooden one.

I am in Palm Beach County - a tad hotter than you ; Will all these greens grow just as well down here ? Thanks loved listening !

I have purple sweet potatoe slips growing and I tasted one of the leaves the other day as I love All greens but it was so so bitter. Do you recommend a certain type for eating the leaves or do you add something in them to lesson the bitterness?

I looked up Ceylon spinach and all my results were for malaise spinach. Can you post a link to the green you’re growing? I’d like to try it in my garden if I can find seeds.

Are the leaves from Puerto Rican Black Beans edible?

Im in Tampa amd I was wondering if you knew of any sources for some of these. I have been looking for the katuk, longevity spinach and some of the others.

Where do you purchase your seeds in Florida? Do you order your seeds online?

What county in Fl do you live in? I know that can make a difference.

Where do you buy your seeds?
