    I am on the Treasure Coast of east Florida and I have been growing a large asparagus plant continually for 3 years now and this year I got a pretty decent harvest from it with very tender and tasty shoots. I didn't know it was supposed to be difficult because I have had no problem at all. I got the plant(s) in a 6 pack from Walmart and just put the container right in a self watering planter box. Iij n fact I was even able to get 2 new plants this year from planting the seeds of my current one. The new plants are very small right now but are doing well.

    I finally found you Josh! Really interesting you're mainly growing Sh3640 and namwah, because I spent the last few years trialing a bunch of bananas varieties in 9A(citrus county), and Namwah, SH3640 and Orinoco stood out to me as being the best at recovering from heavy frost. Though, the Orinoco is just a guess because its a banana I find growing and fruiting in wild near kings bay, and it makes very square angular bananas, so I figured it was Orinoco. Even out of these 3 Namwah seems to be the best at handling cold ime. I really want some of the plants you showed in this video for my 1acre food forest, Ill keep an eye on your store, but I would rather pick up.

Also there is a 60 well 40 foot( they pruned it) mango tree across the canal. Been there for 40 years the lady said. And its very Exposed. I would love to come over and see what tou got going on. My food forest is only about 2 years old and most of it is only a year to 6 months old but its really starting to take off. I could gain alot by picking your brain... guess thats what your vids are for, glad i found your channel. Still would love to see it in person that would be dope.

    Thank you for sharing your botanical natural food garden. Many of the crops you grow I do know them because I used to live in a topical island. And most of life while growing up surrounded by the jungles. Where food was everywhere especially the breadfruit trees and just many many plants like coconuts are always available. Sad thing tho, there are more different types of pest that migrated into the island and is killing the coconut palm called the Rhino Beetle. And many other types of insects that I’ve never seen before. Anyways, you have such a beautiful food garden.

      Así es, se hace para que la fuerza de la planta se concentre en la que va a dar el fruto. Tampoco hay que dejar que demasiadas plantas crezcan. Por la misma razón, así dará frutos más grandes y más rápido. Se puede propagar la planta tomando los brotes. Recomiendo buscar videos que muestran como se hace.

    Hello!! New subscriber. I am in Brevard 9b/10a. I am growing UC-157 F1 and F2 asparagus for 4 years straight. I am very interested in checking out your website for the perennial kale and other things. I garden in a half acre. We harvested 466 lbs of food last year!
