I usually end up planting whatever of my store bought ones that end up sprouting. I don't get much from them, but they would have just been compost otherwise. But, they taste so much better than the store bought ones they came from. Even if they are tiny just boil them up whole like new potatoes. Excellent!

Thanks

All permission. Need cold. Why back full with the top of Bermuda you took off? Unfortunately you planted it way too low. The single most important factor in assuring your tree’s health and longevity is planting it at the correct depth in the ground. The roots flaring out from the trunk must be visible at or, better yet, slightly above ground level when the tree is set in the planting hole. This assures that the spreading roots will be close enough to the soil surface to get the oxygen they need. It also assures that soil will not cover the bark of the young trunk, causing it to decay. Setting the tree slightly above ground level will maintain a proper level in the event that it sinks a bit after watering.

One more thing to keep it from coming back. Poison ivy thrives in acidic soil. Eastern PI does not grow in soil above a pH of 8.5. If you mix in pulverized lime with the soil where you rip it out, it's less likely to grow back. Not a solution if you want to grow other acidic soil plants, but helps if it's a border area you have no plans for.

It can definitely put you in the hospital. Before I knew how to spot it, I hit a bunch with a string trimmer. A glob flew up on my neck and face, and the trimmer probably aerosolized it to some extent. The next day my neck and throat became inflamed and I had trouble breathing. Urgent care told me to go to the ER where they put me on high dose steroids. If you inhale burning poison ivy it's even worse. I've heard of people being in the hospital for weeks from that. Be extra careful with your face and neck as the skin is more permeable. Nasty nasty stuff. Now when I remove it I suit up head to toe, double glove and face shield. If it hasn't rained the day before I'll wear an n95 mask. Then I'll pull it out by the roots and bag it before trashing it. Helps to loosen the soil around it with a pitch fork, and pulling it up after a good rain. Get as much of the root system as possible. If you spray it or use goats it'll just grow back the next season. If you leave it be eventually it'll grow berries and birds will eat them and spread it. It's a persistent bugger and needs an equal level of persistence to fully remove for good. After removing, care needs to be taken to clean the residue off your clothes, tools and skin. Outer layer gloves come off to wash later, then clothes right into the wash. Then dispose the under layer gloves. Clean exposed face, neck, ankles and hands/arms with technu or GOJO, or dawn and a wash rag in a pinch. Wipe off with paper towels and shower with an abrasive soap and wash rag. Clean tools by soaking in half water/dish soap or spray it on and let sit for a few minutes. Spray it on shoes. Wipe with a paper towel. Wipe with bleach wipes after dry. It seems like overkill until you have a bad rash that lasts for weeks.

Lol! My cat always jumps into my garden with me, and I have to chase her out😂

where are you in Florida

As pruning stems stimulates growth above ground, pruning roots in transplants has similar effect.

Maybe a spicy sweet potato dish? Since they're all growing in the same area?

Ants don't like coffee grouds

Hi, would it be possible to buy seeds from you? And do you recommend to grow them in small pot until they sprout.

Thank you so much ! You changed my life .

Thank you so much !

Omg 😂 I gotta try using the force at home 😂😂😂

😂

Gonna try this. I usually have pretty good luck with tomatoes, but I started late this season. Wish me luck! Lol

Love it!! ❤❤

Love this!

Okra, Malabar spinach, watermelon coming on as well as peanuts. I have mobile shade cloth for my tomatillos, peppers and tomatoes. Yard long beans are doing well, kind of an experiment. Hillsborough county. South Tampa

🥵 🔥🥵 n Nassau Co FL. You are so right. Not much you can plant. I eat the sweet potato leaves like spinach and red leaf sorrel. Thank you for sharing!

Hey, new to the Jax area… my Yukon golds were planted Feb 24 and the plants are still going strong… maybe too strong- looks like all the energy may be going into making leaves rather than roots. My first time growing potatoes. When I do dig them out, can I cure them outdoors in the shade? My garage is really hot so that’s not so good, I think.

I'm over in the panhandle and Malabar did very well here, but it's quite a bit slimier than I like so I quite planting it. But with the berries they produce, I still have volunteers coming up for years. I've never tried Amaranth. Today, I dug my Yukon Gold potatoes that I planted Feb 10. I had 14 5 gal pots and harvested 18lbs of spuds. A few were big, most were small. They only lasted 82 days so I was afraid they weren'g going to produce at all. I was pleasantly surprised.

A portion of my beds this year are gonna be an experiment with 1 year old pigeon peas to see if they can help shade veggies below them and extend some of our growing season into the hotter months (hopefully). Definitely will top up the compost and mulch cause it is so hot already just baking the sandy soil 😅

Thanks for the video. I'm here in north Putnam County near the river. This soil will drive you nuts sometimes

I gave up on the traditional garden after multipal falures and moved on to avacado , pear and jaboticaba trees all on timed Irrigation and over 1 foot of mulch on each.

Hollis and Nancy are in your area and they have awesome gardens.

hey JB, ESO eating up your time? lol Sometimes the knowledge you gain is worth more than the yields.

There's a few other tomatoes that can take a little bit of heat, like Homestead and Hot Boy.

Where is the best place to get Everglades tomatoe seeds? We’ve been looking around Yulee and haven’t found anyone that has them

It's not illegal to grow wheat in your yard

Hi Jax neighbor! I’m near the airport too 😂 I just started 2 seeds in water. I’m thinking it’s a no go since I’d be putting it in pots, due to renting.

Dollar weed is the most exciting weeding there is here in coastal SC. " Hey Honey, look at the size of this root!" Thanks for mentioning pulling tops off. I started doing that as an experiment in my asparagus patch because you can't really go after the root/vine where the asparagus grows. Dollar weed is like a vine that grows underground. If you have raised beds you can try going around the outside perimeter of the bed to find where it's getting in.

I met your child Bri on a movie set and I’m so excited about your channel! I wanna garden!

That little thing does not qualify as a rototiller LOL!

Black Cherry is a great tree ! I have a few growing in North Central Maine and they get pretty tall....80-90 ft. I pick the first 20 ft or so and the wildlife LOVE what's left. Great choice for permaculture canopy. Did you know they also call that species "Rum Cherry" ? Lol. May want to build a small still 😁 Great video...love your setup.

I didn't see the avacado tree, get at me if you want some cluppings for grafting , i will be doing my pruning in june. I have 10 different varieties of avacados that do well here. I am off merril rd near jacksonville university.

Maybe wheat would grow better in a green house in Florida? I was looking at trying wheat but I'm in East Central Florida so not sure if it would survive.

I think figs like people a lot more than they like other plants. My grandmother had a 50 (or more) year old black mission. It had dirt under it. She had a green thumb, and there was nothing under that fig tree. It was taller than her house, and 2/3 as wide. On the opposite end of the house was a huge Valley Oak tree, it had a trunk at least 6' across. a few things grew near it, a few roses, a couple of shrubs, even some grass and flowers within 6 or 8 feet. Not under that fig, though. I was told figs grow better near the house, and they will never attack a foundation or buckle a sidewalk. I have one by my cement driveway, and that seems to be true. I was told figs have a latex sap that is very unfriendly to other plants.

Hi, Thanks for the video. I am in the northeast in the mountains. So we get winds that pretty much make a joke of anything tall I grow. Thanks for mentioning they can be cut back....i need short and wide so hopefully these work. Thanks again

They all had really nice root balls. I'm trying to hold out another week or two with mine.

13:55 scary position for the camerawoman to be in there, that's a dead straight line from cutoff to face lol. probably should've offset the camera a couple feet. (plus a better view of those fun sparks!)

They cant withstand the cold until about 6 to 8 ft of wood and a thicker trunk thats when there more cold hardy its better to put them in 30 gallon pots for a few years and bring them inside on cold forcasted nights then once you get them big plant them but its a good idea to get some 50 gallon metal drums put all your pots by each other i pit them on metal roof pieces so the plants roots get heated when the barrel burns the wood good luck

Thanks bro👏👏💯

Thanks for sharing on separating the plants. I buy those plants every year and never thought about that, I really enjoy being frugal as well. I got a bunch of seeds this year and I will keep that in mind when I buy plants.

What state are you in that you have 80s already?

Well done mate, I got peas, squash and beans in this month so far. I got potatoes on in the polytunnel in January and I'm planting a load more this month.

In Western Washington, you only need to lightly water your seeds because sure as shooten within 2 to 2 1/2 hours there will be a rain shower where 30 minutes ago the sun was out.

I have seeds started this year 2024 and am so excited! Coastal Mississippi, zone 9A. I was thrilled to learn that This plant is also the jute plant. It is food, Medicine, and fiber. How neat! I grow my own plant fiber and spin and weave with it, so this is especially exciting to me. One needs to let this plant get very large to process late season for fiber. Great video, Thanks. 🙏

I always have a large garden but have never had luck with potatoes. You have inspired me to try again because I have some sprouted ones in my pantry!

Pecans generally do best with a pollinator of a different variety.
