One thing I just found out (the hard way). You can easily get 2 dormant seasons. One in the winter, one whenever theres even a short drought in summer heat.

I need another video. I like your videos. They are light and informative.

sorry if I missed it, but what does the spray do for the leaves?

Looks good. Keep it up, before you know it your food forest will be pumping out so much food.

Moved to southwest coastal Florida from Colorado thiree years ago, this season, I finally got control of a serious nematode and southern wilt problem but I planted too late. My tomatoes and cukes were growing like gangbusters with no wilting but then the intense heat stopped them in their tracks. Beautiful, healthy plants but no fruiting. Going forward, I am going to plant in late October instead of early March.

gorgeous women

So *RACEST!* 🤣

Be very careful of vinegar it’s used as a weed killer. So it can kill your plants

I'm in orlando, too, but i live in a multi-dwelling complex. do you have advice for container gardening on a covered balcony/patio? morning/midday sun only. so far, only the mustard lettuce and store bought green onions are willing to stay here. Pat needs to admit she's a transplant from GA, not enough surfer in her accent lol

mosquitos hate rosemary too, and you'll be safe from the neighborhood cats

Can you leave them in tour tent, to give off carbon dioxide for the plants?

So glad I found your channel! Please keep putting out new videos!!

thank you great job on video ive lived in Florida all my life and many years ago old timers always said paradise has a price i will gladly take the skeeters over snow birds have a great day

I grew up in Miami...you are sooo right!❤

I grew up down south! And that Florida Mam is right up my alley!😂

The States just don't seem to care about its environment. Our country is so greedy Use and abuse until there's nothing left and don't try to restablish the land after it's stripped bare. Greed is ruining our beautiful planet.

You stated 1oz to 1gal. But you measured out “1 quart” in your video. Can you confirm it is indeed “1oz to 1gal” Tnx

Hope everyone thinks like her.

Fantastic

A seasoned gardener in Florida will not suggest a metal garden bed. They hold heat in the soil way more and can cook the roots and dry the moisture up. Wood beds in Florida only.

Save the old growth trees!! Permaculture is love. Thank you for the fun information. I was cracking up 💜💙🩵🌸🌟

Florida is the best, not the worst, for growing plants

I love the raccoon just frolicking on by

I like to sprout tropical fruit seeds after I eat the fruit. I just love that I can grow mamey, sapodilla and soursop seedlings on my patio. I haven't been doing it long enough to see the trees will last, but here's hoping! 🤞

Hubby & I go get wood mulch from our yard waste processing plant a few miles away. We’ve brought home about 15 truckloads and pitch fork it right out of the truck wherever we need it in the garden. Great resource.

Brussle sprouts also make great trap crops

I love “shopping” in other people’s trash piles. I also trade plants/seeds with coworkers and at local Take A Plant/Leave A Plant stands around Brevard County (we have several). I also propagate everything in my yard. Free is best. 🌱😋

I do this with my chickens’ eggshells and use an old coffee bean grinder to make a powder. I then sprinkle that powder over their food for extra calcium.

Growing vegetables in the Summer is a no go in Florida. I grow fruit trees instead and converted a large portion of my yard to a bee and butterfly habitat using Florida native plants and ground cover. My tomatoes reseed themselves and grow back every Spring. I’m hands off with that which is great. My sweet potatoes are also left to regrow as they please. I no longer stress over it and try to fight nature. No chemicals are used and only organic fertilizers when needed.

I use wood chip and grass mixed together for compost , I’ve started putting 50% wood chip and 50% compost for my planter

❤

Appreciate your clear recipe to make the mother” solution of vinegar & egg shells and then the all important recipe for dilution !

I can't decide which character is more stupid.

Thank you for such a wonderful tutorial video on how to make natural fertilizer using weed plants. Below is a list of comments about your video: 1. I noticed you just pulled out a taro plant which I don't think it's considered as weed. 2. I used to live in Miami and it's common to suddenly pour during the hot Summer day like what you went through in the video. 3. If you plant your lemongrass in ground, it will grow into a much bigger bunch and will also look prettier. 4. The turmeric plants you had shown look like from two different types, i.e. small turmeric root usually yields smaller plant while large one yields bigger plant. The leaves on a turmeric plant are very pungent and edible. I use it to cook "Rendang" (**). BTW, I find the best natural fertilizer for plants is your own urine. ** (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rendang)

Look for substitutes. Grow Mexican pepicha when you can't grow cilantro which is usually from late April- mid October. Pepicha might self sow but I am pretty sure it isn't frost tolerant at all so it will not survive as a perennial herb. It does tolerate hot temperatures unlike cilantro so it can grow during the summer months.

North East Florida here. You are spot on. Thanks for making this video❤

will definitely try this ❤

For LABs, I use Kefir. Organic Kefir is sold at Whole Foods in quart size.

Great video! I'm also in Zone 9b and all plants grow fine when grown at right time of year and adding 1 gallon of compost per square foot. I also add non-clumping plain cat litter, rock dust and biochar. Insects are a plant health issue which is difficult to overcome where photosynthesis efficiency of plant needs to be increased to point where insects leave plant alone. KZfaq search for tom dykstra and insect pressure for info on this. Dykstra also has a great video on florida citrus history found searching tom dykstra and florida citrus. I almost forgot to mention. You need to add 7th reason - fire ants.

Have you done anything with terra preta? It’s an excellent solution to Florida rain washing out all your soil nutrients.

One thing to note about developments in Florida is how they affect rain. As someone who used to live east of The Villages, I would rarely see summer rains unless they came from the south because the heated air over The Villages would cause storms coming from Tampa/Inverness to dump all the water there. By the time the systems moved into cooler areas east of the Villages the clouds would be mostly spent. And this isn't just some anecdotal observation. If you have a radar app, you can watch the storms on a daily basis. All highly developed areas (Tampa, Orlando, Gainesville, The Villages) will get heavy rains starting around 1 pm. Undeveloped areas will get little rain comparatively speaking.

Much of Florida’s soil can have a basic pH because of the limestone

throw a pinch of Epsom salt in there with it, your fruiting and flowering plants will love it ✌️💚

Can i soak weeds with roots and some soil attached to it? I'm pretty new to gardening so I have no idea😢

Great video as always, you should come north in Canada so that you can only grow from May to October.. :) With mosquitoes and every little possible insects... :) You would love it! Hope to see you soon!

Because I live in a very confined area I do all container gardening and this really reduces my pest problem, what I do use iis D.E. and do occasionally have to hand pick tomato worms but have only had a few of these because the D.E. reduces most of this problem. Thanks for what you do.

Thanks you art great and I look forward to upcoming videos

Good video. Thank you for spreading a good positive message.

First time I've seen your channel. Pat made me a sub😂!

Love Pat Wild! 🤣
