Companion planting series would be cool! And more on 7 layers of food forrest. You explain things clearly and drama free. I will be watching!
Check out my butterfly gardening series. I talk through companion plants that are a win for both... plus edible butterfly host plants!
Im trying to learn how to garden this year. I'm starting very small, with some everglades tomatoes and mini bell peppers, maybe with 5 plants max. Im glad there are lots of south florida gardeners to help me troubleshoot!
You can do it! 😄
Great video! Thankful that Florida that does have legislature that protects vegetable gardening from HOAs and such. I still follow my HOA rules since I don’t really have a front yard but was really grateful to my arborist friend in south Florida when she told me this. (FL statue sec 604.71)
Thank you! I'm a big fan of Florida Senate Bill 82! It looks like this statute may be related to it. Thank you for sharing it!
Great video. Food-sustainability was the reason I began farming/gardening. Variety and taste is just a bonus!
Thank you! Totally agree 🙌
Thank you for the in-depth conversation about Victory Gardens. And I also want to thank you for including wasps in the group of pollinators. I get so much help from the wasps in my yard. If any of your followers are in Brevard County, I have a RUclips channel that will help people know when to grow what in my area.
Hello neighbor, We live in Vero Beach. Getting caught up on another season of growing here too. Working on a YT channel.....more to come soon.
@@lorisilva10784 Great!
Thank you! I saw your videos! I'm super excited to learn about Roselle!
Omg!! Those sunglasses are the best!! 😆 🤣
I live in south Mississippi and my microclimate has gotten so bad with ground solar radiation over the past 5 years that we can no longer grow anything in full sun. We have had to move into our forest. We are growing in filtered sunlight and YES it's working! Our gardens were burning up by June 1 so there was no summer crop at all. We have always used a good amount of mulch from ground leaves and old hay but even that didn't work in full sun. I noticed just today that even our plants that are in more sun than others in the food forest are already burning up. We grow now in dappled sunlight during the summer. We have found that every microclimate needs to adapt to what can best be done.
Great video. As I winter in FL you have been a wealth of knowledge and inspiration. I get done with your video and think what do I need to garden now. Thanks!
I’m so happy it helps you Kim! You have been a wonderful support! ☺️
Omg you’ve got bananas. I’m in zone 3 🤣 🥶
OMG you have snow ❄️ ⛄️ 🥶 🥰😄
I'm new to your channel. Just binge watched this series of yours! Glad to see your still doing this topic! Im still in the research learning phase of permaculture and victory gardens. As well as homesteading And minimalism. And a few other things. Lol
Welcome Victoria!
Thats what ive been doing lately, following what the big box stores has been putting out. They put out sweet potatoes i buy and start sweet potatoes they put out onions and garlic well im starting those too. And i full on believe that every one starting a garden should totally buy starts. Then you physically see it every day. Theres no guessing game to it. Ive done that before. I Planted pepper seeds in my first raised beds and had what i thought was 1 come up. I babied that little plant, turned out to be a weed 😂
OH NO!!! 😂😄😂 I remember planting m first tomatoes and spending tons of time looking at pictures of tomatoes seedlings to see if I had weeds or tomatoes. I had both 😂
Super new here. Literally have never gardened at all. Thanks for the crash course. Already overwhelmed. Lol!! I appreciate that you said to start small. I need to keep that in mind. Small victory’s for the victory garden. Lol! Thanks for the video!
Hi Maegan! 👋 If you’re in Florida, hands down easiest vegetable for me has been sweet potatoes. I wish you the best of luck and feel free to ask questions 😄
@@WildFloridian I am in Florida. We’re in the Orlando area an hour south of Ocala. I have endless questions and don’t even know where to start. Do you have any step by step videos showing how to determine space and bed setup?
Welcome to the wild Florian crew.
Don't be overwhelmed..cause that can paralyzed you...start in a pot..but start..it's freeing and so rewarding...and HAVE FUN 😊
@Maegan Berry In the Victory Garden series I go into way more detail. Also in my vegetable gardening playlist you can see me build beds and arch trellises from scratch plus plan garden beds and list plants each season. There is a lot of information in those videos. 😊
I saw your first new videos from two years ago when you were putting up your cattle panels. Then I jumped to this video and I knew u leveled up when I saw your amazing banana tree behind you! I love the idea of a victory garden!!!!!
Level up! I've definitely leveled up over the last two years! 🥰😄🥰
My current zone is 6a, but given what the climate scientists say I'll be zone 10 in a few short years. I'm planting orange and banana trees.
Great video
this is great thanks
Glad you like it!
This is very timely and complete. I'm impressed. Your garden is wonderful, I really enjoyed taking it in and listening to you. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Victory gardens were promoted in World War I and II, in the United States, Canada, Australia, and Germany. Increasing the food supply was important but so was the positive effect it had on civilian morale. It certainly improves my morale to know that I'll eat every day, regardless of the money situation and so will my neighbors.
Thanks for your help.
I will look to see if you have videos on pollinators gardens
Lots of videos on butterfly gardening (which is a win for most pollinators) and I just did some wild flower videos. Enjoy! Also check out my Florida Native Landscaping series which introduces lots of native plants!
A good way to get around these laws and rules is doing beautiful food forests!
It sure is!
Trying to listen to your info but keep getting distracted by all your plants! Haha
I will re-watch and promise to listen this time.😉😄
Your front yard looks amazing and well loved!
Thanks for sharing!
LOL! I completely understand 😂
Super quality video. Surprised you don’t have way more subscribers.
I appreciate that! 😄
Whew...an excellent video!!! Something else we've added to our 9A-B Victory garden (besides vegetables) are tropicals: Chayote, chaya, cassava, jicama, longevity spinach, jamaican cherry, Roselles and Spanish Hog plum. They are super interesting to learn about and often have a history of feeding huge populations in other countries. We're not experts on them yet, but we are enjoying the challenge of growing them.
OoOo I love it! I want to get some Roselle this year! And that is very smart to add Tropicals... so under rated for most Floridians!
@@WildFloridian If you want, DM me an address and I'll send you some seeds. I started 9 seeds in a pot just week before last and they are doing great. Somebody gifted me the seeds to get started. I'd love to pass that along.

Tomato seeds round 2 after losing my crop in the frost in the frost. Brussels are a little too close to each other in my bed so I don't think I'm gonna get as good of a yield as I wanted broccoli was still super small again this year. peppers are doing good surprisingly good after that frost. Edamame and cucumbers coming in again after the frost. My fire bushes still look dead but I'm really hoping they come back soon my poor birds are looking for it desperately.
It was a cold winter 🥶 I love that you aren’t letting it stop you Celestial! My firebush is starting to get new leaves so hopefully yours will be starting to bounce back 🤞
awesome video and the message of the victory garden applied to the modern world
Glad you enjoyed it
Great video!
Thank you! 😄
Cool video!
Yay! Thanks 😊
I’m trying with a very small garden this year, but I have such a black thumb. Just went out today to water and apply some fungicide and noticed that one of my pepper plants was snapped in half at the base. I don’t know if it was wind, rain, wild critters, or one of my own pups that did it. In previous years, even if I did get a few veg, the squirrels and birds wrecked them.
Hang in there Sandy. Persistance will get you there.
Lots of great info. Thanks!
You bet! 😄
Perfect subject 😊
Thank you ☺️
Great video! I'm new here and just subscribed :)
A great way to use up lots of tomatoes is salsa fresca for nachos, tacos, etc. Have a salsa party!
Thanks Jaime! Tomato for Salsa Fresca! Sounds Yummy!!! I love it! Salsa Party!
Good job 👍 my husband, who hates gardening, actually put down his paper about 3 minutes in and was listening to what you had to say! He considers gardening "my thing" but he does what I need from him without complaining (heavy lifting and such) it would be nice to see him take more interest. Wait...maybe not, I like doing it my way 😬🤣🤣🤣🤣
That is an amazing compliment! I read it out loud to my husband! And I agree... keep your garden! 😄
awesome video, what type of raised bed is that? where did you get them from?
I like how you think.
Thanks! ☺️
I would love to go down there
Florida is a great place to visit!
Hi, I'm in Lakeland which is zone 9b. I will be planting a firebush and am curious how your plants survived the cold temps. of this winter specifically the firebush. Here in Lakeland we had one night that went down to 28 degrees. I think, if I remember correctly St. Pete was warmer that night. Just wanting to know what to expect. Thanks so much for what you do.
Usually St. Pete is warmer than Lakeland in the winter. The firebush looked sad when it was in the 30s. Now that it is warming up, it is dropping all the sad leaves and put on tons of fresh growth. My yard has a pretty good microclimate even within my neighborhood. Frost all over people's grass and not a bit on mine. BUT Firebush can take a good beating of cold and grow back from a stick. It just needs to be established. So if you are planting it now, it will be in good condition if we get a cold front this coming winter.
We had a "bumper" crop of turnips (Well, for us anyway). No way we could eat them all. So, we dehydrated them....and filled 2 quart jars😐. OMG, were did they all go?
🤣😂🤣 Right! Congratulations on your bumper crop!
I live in zone 10a
Howdy howdy neighbor!
@@WildFloridian you a good neighbor and lady and a great gardener
What are your thoughts on using Preen weed prevention for flower beds? We have been removing massive amounts of wends that are taking over our flower bed. I’ve heard of preen and purchased it in hope to reduce the weed take over. I’d like to plant flowers and other plants to attract butterflies and bees. Would preen be bad for them?
The general sentiment is that herbicides can be problematic for the caterpillars and bee larvae. I don't know Preen specifically. I would say use mulch or do a solarization before using an herbicide. And then if you have a really tough weed... then spot treat. I hope that helps and wish you the best in you butterfly gardening!
@@WildFloridian thank you for the response. I don’t know what solarization is? What do you recommend use to spot treat stubborn weeds?
Basically taking a black tarp and putting it over the bed. It will heat up and kill lots of plants and bugs in the area.
This is a great video about what’s really important. I’ve been developing an edible landscape. I have a postage stamp yard. Looks like pot gardening. BTW are you single?
Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed. That sounds like an amazing garden you’re developing. I’m married. 😄
@@WildFloridian wild Florida - I’m growing coffee . I can send some to you next year when the crop comes in . I just finished picking and roasting the last of it in February. I’m sure your husband loves your skills in the garden. Your videos are awesome
My local Home Depot and lowes do NOT have easy starts. Pain
That is a bummer :(
I Never say Never....but I will NEVER live in a HOA neighborhood ;)
Agree! But I feel for anyone who wants a new home… most new homes are built in HOAs. It seems great… until it isn’t

It will not accept either of my 2 emails to get the calander
I’m having my IT guy (my husband) look into the issue. Hope to resolve quickly
@Charlene Cochenet please send me your email. We’ll figure it out 😄

Ah yes, the original weapons factory. You just compost the whole garden with water, for a couple weeks, with some nitrogen fixing legumes.. then, with the liquid, you fractionally distill nitric and sulfuric acid, by heating the liquid to the boiling point of those compounds.
Then, combine with charcoal, by burning the leftover dried plant material, or by powderizing the leftover plant material, it can be combined with nitric acid, for smokeless powder...
You eat cows, which you shoot
Oh America, surely when you talk about regulations for growing food, you must realise your country has lost its way. 🤷♀️
Eat a ton of of food in a year or buy a ton of food a year? 😳🫣
Great video
Thank you Lauren!
