The four seasons in Florida are the Love bug season, The Snow bird season, the Hurricane season and Summer.
🤣 So true
South Florida resident here....our seasons are different from north and central Florida. We only get 40 & 50 degree temps for 2-3 days in Jan.
Haha. Yeah. I’m jealous how much cool fruit you can grow! I get too many freezes 🥶
We are in Zone9b central Florida. We vegetable garden outdoors 365 days a year. There is always something to grow. Less things in the hottest months, but always something. Your channel is a wonderful educational experience.
Thank you so much! I love growing year round.
Companion planting that works for me in florida
Tomato - Basil/Marigold
Cucumber - Dill
Broccoli - Catnip
Cabbage - Borage
Lettuce - Sweet Allysum
Carrot - Garlic/Onion
This is an awesome list! Thank you
Hi ! In Ocala for 61 years ! Just found your channel ! Love your videos !
Welcome neighbor 👋
Thank you, very helpful. I just learned I've been doing everything wrong 🙃
Lol. That’s a common Florida thing 🌴
Lol, Petrina, the Florida Tourism Board has a bone to pick with you, especially about that "Bug Season". I am good with that: sometimes, I would like more breathing and gardening space here for just us Floridians.
Good job on hitting so many key pointers especially about knowing your growing seasons, but I think flexibility is key: extra seedlings kept in seed trays is perfect - weather might get warm faster, freeze unexpectedly, and get freak storms. And having backups, yeah, we just keep on rolling no matter what Mother Nature throws at us. And flexible palate might be good, too, because those tropical greens DO grow like weeds during the Dog Days of Summer (Katuk, Chaya, Moringa, Malabar Spinach, Egyptian Spinach, Ethiopian Kale, Perpetual Spinach, Longevity Spinach, Okinawan Spinach, New Zealand Spinach....), I wish I could love eating them like spinach, alas, nope!
And a HUGE sense of humor, cause we have to enjoy the garden for what it is, shrug off what does not work, and plant again. And, GOOD NEWS! We get two shots at that fabulous crop, not just one.
Please, in your videos, give us opening shots of your fruit trees in winter, and Roselle in the summer/fall, so we can all get clued into the quick change of our seasons. Shhhhh! It will be just our little secret cue to get out into the garden.
😂😂😂 So much truth! We really do just roll with Mother Nature here and I will absolutely give you guys heads up when the roselle and peach tree have deemed the seasons have changed 😆
Such helpful information!! Thank you!!
Glad it was helpful!
You sweet lady, please, please keep, keeping on. I appreciate everything you do.
Thanks Sonnya 🥰
Very helpful for a new FL gardener. I appreciate the tips!
My pleasure. I hope it is helpful
This is the video I needed when I started gardening in Florida a few years ago. Thank you!
😀 FL is a different animal for sure!
I love gardening and now I am moving from Cleveland, Ohio to Tampa, Florida. Thanks for the information.
Welcome to the neighborhood 💚
Halfway through this video and I haven’t stopped shaking my head in agreement. I’ve gardened all over the US but being completely stumped growing in SWFL. Thanks for these tips. Going to give my garden another try this summer fall and winter.
Yay! 🙌 Definitely keep trying. Once you get it, it becomes second nature. 👩🌾
New to gardening. I really appreciate the info!
Glad it was helpful!
This is so helpful. We are new homeowners, and have only lived in Pinellas County for a few years - transplanted from NJ - and I've been wanting to try for a garden, but I didnt know where to start. In NJ, you just toss a seed in the ground and it grows. I will be following your account for more inspiration.
Thanks so much for watching. Florida can be a little challenging but once you get the hang of it, I think you will love it.
She is spot on! 👍
Howdy from North West Florida! Gardening is definitely different from Northern California. Im loving the heat and humidity but retraining my green thumb has been a challenge. You have been a great help!
Howdy neighbor 👋. I’m so glad you are finding the videos helpful 👩🌾
I’m new in the Florida gardening, and thank you so much for sharing this with us 😊
My pleasure. Happy Gardening 👩🌾
19:51 I cover determine tomatoes plants with netting to avoid flying sucking fruit bugs like stink bugs.
Great tip
Really helpful video- would have loved to watch this 3 years ago when we moved here from New England. You and the Wild Floridian are my “go to” channels for my FL gardening tips!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you about the good bugs. We know the good bugs take care of the bad bugs.
Hi Petrina,
Im Australian but living in Ky. Don’t ask why. Im not even sure. But the weather is the pits for gardening. It’s only 6 months. The spring is too short to grow in before things bolt in may. We want to move to a part of Florida that resembles Australia. So we can have a great winter garden and then the typical summer garden. 40-55 degree days in winter, mild spring and fall. Summers are hot everywhere anyway. Would Tallahassee or Gainesville be good choices? Or do you have suggestions? If you could pick the perfect place to grow where would it be? We don’t want to live near the coast and hurricanes
Love your videos, thanks Heather
That’s such a hard question but I would say anywhere from Gainesville to Ocala. Gainesville still gets cold weather during the winter that could kill your plants (ie 25 degrees) but Ocala generally stays just above freezing at night. The summers are pretty much like everyone else winters because the heat humidity and bugs are pretty extreme so it’s very hard to grow traditional veggies. You can still grow things but they will be specialty plants. Either of those 2 places will allow you still grow traditional fruit trees which is nice but they get a little too cold for the tropical fruits like mangos and bananas without a lot of protection. I’m just south of Ocala (about an hour) and I love this area but I am closer to the coast. No matter where you pick, hurricanes will happen but you would be surprised how well FL handles them due to our infrastructure and we are just used to them. Pick a house that is a full block home with a new roof. Those two things will make a world of difference.
If you let seaweed dry in the sun and then put it in a blender, it makes a nice powder
Same thing with bones, and/or egg shells
I’m am not in FL. Our weather is the opposite to yours - hot and dry with LOTS of 🐛! They never go away. Last year I was fight against aphis and, worse, leaf miners yikes! Your bug strategy still sheds a light for me. I just found your channel and love it. Subbed.
Awesome! So glad you enjoyed the video. Bugs are the worse 😂
Thanks for the great tips. As I've said before I'm a NY gal in a Florida world. I've been here 5 years now & I'm finally getting some things right. I have cabbage, kale & broccoli coming up now. Also everglades tomatoes, strawberries & lots of spices doing great in my garden. I like the tips about companion gardening. I'm going to start that. Love your videos, they've been helping me a lot with my transition. (I'm actually visiting up in NY now. Brrrr, lol)
I’m so glad you are enjoying them. It sounds like you have a yummy harvest coming soon. Stay warm up there 💚
Nice! Which spices do you grow?
@@tealeaf4451 oh my, so many. Different kinds of mint, bee balm, oregano, parsley, basil, rosemary, thyme, sage, pineapple sage, sorrel and probably more I can’t remember.
@@tealeaf4451 I'm growing Parsley, Thyme, Cilantro, Rosemary, Dill, Chives, Oregano & Cuban Oregano. Going to try Basil again. I always grew Basil in NY but for some reason it keeps dying on my here.
Thank you both! I started a good amount of herbs this year but I want to get some more, mainly medicinal ones.
I’m brand new to gardening and I enjoyed this video !
Welcome! Glad it was helpful
5th generation native west central been around growing vegetables most my 70years it can be a challenge mainly in the dry years which are becoming more and more. Then when we do get a good rainy season you have fungus problems don't forget all the pests above and below ground
Haha! Truth! I love it though
Moved to Florida a few years ago. We just built an above ground pool with some extra deck area. We screened the entire thing with a supposedly “Bug Proof or No- See-Um proof” screening. I’m going to bring my raised beds (they are on my exterior deck and on rollers) into my screened in pool area during summer,and see if I can mitigate some of the pest damage! Plants should still get plenty of sun,or at least that’s the theory. Fingers crossed. Thanks for the video! Very informative.
I tried that in my screened in patio and I got a crazy amount of aphids but none of the lady bugs could get in to eat them so it got out of control. I don’t think my screen is bug proof so I would definitely love to hear how it goes for you.
Excellent video. You give a lot of good info in the description box below this video. Thanks.
I’m so glad you enjoyed it 💚
Thank you for all your tips. I could not get ahead last year because of bugs on my cucumbers . Will try these tips this year
Awesome. I hope it helps 💚
Great video! I wish I would have found your channel back in 2020 when I started really getting into my Florida gardening in zone 9b. I have made all the beginner mistakes and have learned to be a better gardener from it. Another summer tropical that I have had a lot of success with are my pineapple plants and ginger. I just started growing banana plants and papaya trees last summer. So I'm hoping to get some fruit this summer. I also started some blueberry plants and a Meyers lemon tree in a pot. I started companion planting and have not had any issues with bugs. I have a few raised beds I grow Aloe plants in. I make liquid fertilizer from these plants to feed all of my garden with. I spray the leaves and water using the aloe fertilizer once a week. I have to say, since I started using aloe in my garden, my plants don't bug me anymore. 😂
That is very cool. I didn’t know that about Aloe. I’ll definitely look into that. Thank you!
Petrina, Dill is a great bouquet filler! If you grow any flowers pair them together, looks great!
That’s a great idea! Thank you 💚
So much great information! Thank you! It sounds like you can't just go to Walmart to get seeds then? I assumed the varieties offered vary from state to state, but maybe not.
You can but I’d do some quick google searches because I’ve seen them sell things like long day onions that will never bulb here.
Excellent video! Loved all your information. Wish I had done succession planting, but I will going forward. I had red spider mites take out my potatoes, tomatoes, and egg plant this year!! Ugh.
Hopefully this year will be a great year for you!
Excellent video and your narration, as usual, is fantastic!! I just wish you had a similar video for region 10b!!
Zone 10 is just a bit south of me so everything should be pretty close to the same but you guys warm up sooner this time of year. The temps should be the same for the seasons but yours happen sooner. That’s why I like to base season changes on temp and reading natures queues since that kind of works everywhere 🌴
Thank you for sharing I live in Pensacola Florida
My pleasure 💚
Learned so much. What peas did you say??
Are you asking about the summer veggies, cowpeas? Those are black eye peas but they come in a lot more varieties than just the one you see in the store.
Thank you for lots of very helpful information🙌
It’s my pleasure!
This video was very helpful.
Glad it was helpful!
This was super helpful, thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Great info…thank you!
You are so welcome 💚
Just found your channel and love it ❤
Yay! Thank you!
Very interesting great video
Thanks for watching 💚
Petrina! I got pollen gunking up pool filter. And got aphids and scale all over some plant babies.
Have we missed spring and jumped into summer? .....with nights in the 40's. WHAT is happening to our seasons?
IKR! It already feels like summer. Makes me so worried for actual summer.
I tried M.I. Gardener here in Miami FL and not 1 seed germinated. (and i tried all year long) Keep in mind he’s based out of New Jersey so perhaps it just too hot here! IMO San Diego Seed Company has more of a compatible growing zone and her seeds hybridize to my zone easily.
Try mart heirloom seeds
Works every time
I have a peach tree that is essentially just beetle food. There's so many beetles here they infest all my peaches. I'll have to try doing some companion plants around it, but I don't think there's anything I can do
I’ve heard of people using mesh bags over the fruit. Also check out Kaolin clay. Apparently it deters beetles from eating the fruit. Might be worth a shot.
@@HomegrownFloridaZ9aI will check it out!
Who are the good bugs? I assume ladybugs, but what else? Thanks.
Yes and parasitic wasps, lacewings, assassin bugs, praying mantis
Neematodes ...I had none up north ...they schooled me quick here.😅
They are tough! They love our sandy soil.
If feeding the soil in summer w the black eyed peas won’t they actually grow? Then once you weedeat them how to you prevent more peas and how will you know if that bed is ready for other plants? Thanks
You can keep it from reseeding by weed whacking it down once you see flowers but the pods haven’t formed yet. I just keep planting and regrowing until fall planting starts in September. Leave the dead plant material in the bed as a mulch that will feed the soil over time.
Odd take: I want to grow a garden to feed the bugs :) yes, I love being able to harvest and eat my own grown food, but I'm also happy to feed the insects :) they are here on this earth with us, and they deserve to eat their favorite veggies and fruits ❤ please respect insects(✿^‿^)
That’s a new one I haven’t heard before but I totally get it. I keep adding native plants and milkweed so I can watch all the bugs. It’s a whole insect city going on
So would it mean not to plant in the summer season to be safe for these bugs??? 🤪🤪
Haha. Never safe from them!
I heard our sargasum seaweed here has a lot of traces of metal in it and isn't good to fertilize with it when it comes to plant that you eat. But is great for plants that you don't eat? Whats your take?
I did read about 1 study that they did on growing vegetables with half seaweed and half soil that displayed higher levels but it sounds like it’s still undetermined as to how those levels could impact the health of those that consumed it. My take is to use a combination of organic matter to feed my garden, rather than just 1 ingredient. If there is concern about using it, there are lots of different organic fertilizers on the market that you can purchase to feed your garden safely.
@@HomegrownFloridaZ9a i really do appreciate how you take the time to respond to all of us. It means alot. I mean you seem to be fine after using it. I'm sure a lil sargasm won't hurt anybody right haha.
Cheers from Boynton Beach keep up the great vids 😊
It’s my pleasure 🥰 I love talking with other gardeners. We all learn so much from each other. Thanks for bringing this concern up. The more we know, the better choices we can make for our families 💚
Great Information! Always Learning Something New! 🫶🏽 Thank You❣️
You are so welcome👩🌾
What are good companion plants for cucumbers?
Green onions, dill, chives, marigolds, borage, and basil are some of my favorites
@@HomegrownFloridaZ9a thanks
My greatest problem with my garden is the sun burning my garden to smithereens!!! How do I prevent this in central florida?
If your plants are getting 6 hours of direct sun or less, heavy mulch will keep the roots cool and the tops won’t have much trouble but if your plants are get over 6 hours direct sun definitely mulch heavy but you also need to create some shade. You can do that using a shade cloth or by creating shade with other plants. I’ll put a bunch of roselle plants or a vertical planter on the west side of my planting area to create shade. Putting plants that love sun to catch the majority of the afternoon sun will give your plants the relief they need.
@@HomegrownFloridaZ9a these are the greatest tips anyone has ever given me.....THANK YOU!! I also like the tips about bugs because aphids were eating everything. I'm going to see if I can do more research about companion planting.
Yay 😃 I’m so glad you are finding it helpful
Try 40% shade cloth that's what I use, and my plants love staying cool in the shade
Why didn't you mention anything about nematodes, you know those little worms that eat the roots of plants and kill them?
I didn’t mention them in this one but I do have a whole video on pests where I go into them.
I wish i could talk to you
No. Born and raised. Will die here. Not many of us left. Please don't complain about what is or is not. You have a choice. Not being rude just stating a fact. We love it here and our gardens do beautifully.
Hi Sonnya. I apologize if the video came of negative. It certainly was not my intention. I absolutely love growing in Florida and was also raised here most of my life. The purpose of the video was to help new FL gardeners adjust to the difference in growing in a sub tropical environment as opposed to a more temperate climate.
@@HomegrownFloridaZ9a Not negative at all. Just not positive enough. I get so tired of hearing how bad everything is here. The 'not from here' has choices. They do not have to come here. If it's so bad here, darn it, move!! Thanks for everything you do. You try so hard to explain our 'seasons'. And you do a wonderful job. Thanks!!
@@sonnyamoran7383 Thank you for the feedback. I like the idea of doing a video on all the great reasons why Fl is an amazing place to garden.
Talking about issues in order to resolve them is not the same thing as complaining. People have gardening issues. This lady is trying to help them live a better life. That is what one would desire from her. Thank you to her.
@@liamthompson9090 Most definitely. I agree 100%. I'm talking to a few so called friends that I turned on to this gracious lady and came back to me with awful comments. Needless to say are no longer friends. I tried to help them, then sent to 3 other channels and all they could do was moan, b____, and complain. "We know absolutely nothing about gardening......" I got a few things off my chest and I hope they are reading each and every word.
‘Right now “. Doesn’t cut it. You need to date “right now”. For those watching in the future
The date for the video is in the description. I hope that helps 💚
Did you actually watch the video? She talks about all the seasons and what season she did her video in.
