I live in New Orleans and recently skinned strawberries and laid them flat in a pot of soil and sprinkled some potting soil on top. Watered them frequently and eventually they took off.
@@SouthernDirtGardener we were planning on getting an expert to come and help us with the irrigation system, which we have bought thanks to different RUclips videos, but we don't want to setup and break something or worst, have no growing. We contacted an owner of a big place were you can buy plants, but we really didn't like what we saw at his shop, so we are willing to pay for someone with good hands on experience to come and see what we have done and what we have and to point us in the right direction.
Love your videos! I’ve learned so much from you especially since I’m new to Florida. Did you notice the little mouse living in your wheelbarrow handle? I saw him run in at 6:12 and then he was poking his head out after. You may have interrupted his lunch lol!
Omg that is crazy cool!! I had to go back and watch to see!! That little guy must be the one eating my Strawberrys!!! Thank you so much for sharing that with me.
I remember when I grew a garden mean harvest I grew gave most of it out specially to the lazy ness my neighbour from thce Philippines 🇯🇲 he is so lazy I try to help him out but he only talks alot about it but when I went there all he had was a garden full of rubbish so I won't go back to those dreamers ever again I'm always around worker not talker catch it I think I can hear my neighbour lmao 🙄😤🇯🇲 he would rather grow his whiskers wash and clean the bugs away cut your hair and get a real job lmao 🤣🤣🤣💯
@@SouthernDirtGardener Deal! I'm looking forward to your updates. Just this morning I was thinking about moving and wondering what veggies I can grow there and when? Thank you for sharing your experience.
Are you growing your chayotae (sp)? Squash in partial shade? I am in FL too and both my attempts to grow it failed miserably. I had it in full sun. Thanks.
Your pinapples look very sad. Mine are huge, and the leaves are green. I have about 40 pinapple plants. I started with 2 tops in 2022. Do you give your pineapples any kind of fertilizer?
This was a couple of months ago when I filmed. They experienced a hard freeze the last couple of years. They are decent size now and most don't reach irrigation. We don't fertlize our fruit trees as much as we would like to.
We're in zone 7b and tomatoes produce only in summer. So it was interesting to hear that is is difficult for you to grow 🍅🍅🍅through the heat of the summer.
I live in west central Florida and I am happy to say that after 4 years my garden is finally producing well. It took 2 to realize that the middle of summer was to hot for most garden plants here, lol. But I enjoyed your video and look forward to seeing more. Oh and loved the little green spider on the Chinese squash plant.
I've lived in Florida for nearly 21years now. But have only attempted gardening once and didn't do so well. That way quite some time ago though and I'm willing to give it another shot. This time I've been scouring RUclips for some guidance to be better prepared. I just found your channel this morning and this is the very first video that I've watched. I don't live too far from you, so hoping that the information you share will be beneficial to the conditions that I will be facing over here on the Gulf Coast. (I am about an hour northwest of Tampa Airport in West Pasco County). I have just placed an order for some of your seeds and wondering if any of these plants would survive in containers as opposed to being planted directly in the ground? My yard doesn't have very good soil at the present moment. Any helpful tips you could provide would be greatly appreciated.
I'm happy to see you're giving it another shot. The best time to start is in the fall. That way you're not battling the Heat and getting discouraged with all the bugs and rain. It was a game changer when I learned what to plant and when. Hopefully that series will help you month to month. I did receive your seat order and it's shipping out today. Yes, you can plant pretty much anything in a container. You just want to look up each plant and how much space they need in container size. Most plants will do well in a 5 gallon bucket but you need to make sure you have some drainage holes at the bottom. Things like watermelons and pumpkins will need a larger container. Good luck I'm here if you have any questions! Welcome to my gardening community!
I'm probably jumping the gun BUT I would love to know what seeds I should start for planting in my fall garden in JULY? I am getting ready to prep my new garden area (no dig small 4 x 8 space) and don't know what to start this month. I realize that it depends on what I want to grow but is there a "guide" to what to start indoors for a fall Florida garden and when to start them? Also, did I understand that you can plant sunflowers anytime here? I'm in Florida 9b and a new gardener. Your spaces are beautiful and I enjoy seeing your gardens and hearing about your gardening adventure. Thank you!
I love your monthly "what to plant" videos. It's so so helpful! Lots of inspiration. I have ordered a queens wreath vine. I can't wait to get it in the ground with a trellis. Any tips?
I always start out my videos with updates and announcements and I'm not just a cold straight to the point kinda girl. This channel is my family of gardeners that I want to offer all that I can to them. I hope you were able to make it through my dreadful intro of 2.02 minutes before jumping into the items you can plant this month. All of my What to Plant Month to Month is located in the description below. So, the answer is no! I will not ever change my personality to make a cold strait to the point video.
Have you heard a place called Clifford R d in our beautiful community you no 🇯🇲☝️in kT north you better off going to our local market in the middle of Broadway opposite the hair dressers get a haircut and get a real job walk the talk
Mine timer is set at noon to water for 50 minutes each day in the Summer. If it rains I rain delay a day or two on my timer. In the fall I water for 40 minutes at 9am. Every garden is different. I have heavy multch to keep the moisture in our soil. You could poke your fingers in the soil to check if it is dry. If it's dry then you need to water more. You don't want it too wet or too dry. This is something I never could find a clear answer on but this works for me. Hope this helps a little.
I'm sorry! Start with good seeds, starting soil and plant at the right time of the season and they should do great. Make sure to water daily and fertilize every 2 weeks. If you see that there is a bug problem spray with B. T.
I always love setting aside time to relax with a cold drink or coffee ( depending on the time) and watch your videos. Your tips and how you set up your garden has given me great ideas for mine . 😊 I am feeling you on the deer situation. They love my sunflowers, tomatoes, and now my Zinnias. 😔 Gonna have to plant them their own garden next season. Lol
I notice you have a lot of mulch everywhere. Ever since I started using mulch, I have so many little flying insects that seem to like to live in this stuff. They sort of look like mosquitoes, but they’re not. I call them water bugs because they seem to be attracted to moisture. They’ve become a nuisance and I’m starting to have regrets about using it. Do you have any problems with this? What kind do you use? I’m wondering if there’s an alternative or if I’m doing something wrong. There’s a retention pond in my backyard and I’m moving in the next couple of weeks next to a river, so maybe it’s because there’s so much water around me? Any advice will help. 😊 I’m in zone 9b in Brevard County, FL.
What kind of multch are you using and where are you located? Wood chips overtime will break down and make beautiful soil. It also keeps the moisture in in your soil and keeps the weeds down. It's probably one of the best things I ever did for my garden. Do you have a picture of the bugs your dealing with? Send a picture to: Summer@fastlanepromotions.biz I'll do my best to help.
have you ever planted chyote squash before ? cause ive grown them for 3 years now and i t gets pretty big and you will get tons of squash..i wish i could show you a pic of my vine but i dont know how how send a pic here. but i have one i have grown on a 10x10 canopy frame and its completely full and i got tons early this season...and more looks like there gonna come.. im in zone 9a flordia ...all i can say is even if your chyote looks like the leaves are dead and brown dont pull it when summer months come to 100 degree weathers just let it stay there..come cooler season your gonna see that vine start going and if its by a tree its gonna climb it ..they can get up to 40-50 feet and spread 20-30 ...i do toss some miracle grow on it when ever i can rem about once a month and come winter i dont rip it out i just cover to keep warm roots ..leaves,,mulch then once spring comes it will come back and your roots should be strong like tree trunk ...if u wanna see my chyote squash vine and how i grow tomatoes and squash under it you can look me up on facebook under( mj shingler )i have a few lol the one your looking for is pic of me i have my rings on that day hahaha and my hair done lol i hope you take time to friend me i would love to share and hope to ask any questions of some things ive seen you growing i cant even get started . like my seminole pumpkins.its my 1st time . dont forget to look me up .. :)
Thanks for all your tips! I think this might have been my first year growing them from this video. I think I attempted to grow them last season but they died back in the frost. Sounds like I need to just let them grow wild they might likely do better.

Mustard spinach is a heat loving green
