Time to pick those tomatoes...
My garden is growing every day. I have Everglades tomato that is full of blooms (and lots of tomatoes too), Cherokee Purple tomato with its first two blooms, bell peppers, hot peppers, zucchini, sweet potatoes, cucumbers (full of bugs, I just cut it all the way back), Cranberry Hibiscus, rosemary, basil, lemon, grape, bananas, cowpeas, okra, and more. Btw, I talk to my plants. 😂 People may think I’m crazy, but I see a huge difference in just a day or two.
I do too! Usually it’s kind words but sometimes it’s threats 🤣
@@HomegrownFloridaZ9a Haha, I’ve been known to express a little anger here and there too. 😂
The heat is on! 102F heat index today, and it is going to get hotter. Everything is doing great, my fruit trees, peppers, tomatoes, herbs, summer squash, melons, pole beans, cucumbers, and tomatoes. Surprisingly, they are still flowering and setting fruit in the heat. In two weeks, I start my fall garden with planting a second crop of potatoes. I've already weeded out the raised bed to get it ready. My Sugar Baby watermelon aren't as productive as I hoped for, but the cantaloupe are going crazy. Fungi is bad in north central Alabama. To prevent fungi infestation, I spray every ten days with Immunox. Next year, I'll switch to Copper, then alternate. So far, my garden is completely free of fungi. My peppers are slow this year, but I've taken four harvests. After the peak summer heat passes, they will produce crazy fast. I just added five hens to my garden.
Congratulations on your new chickens!
Okra, eggplant, sweet potatoes, field peas, true yams, basil, parsley, sage, ginger. I am so envious of all the space you have.
Love it!!
Everglades Tomatoes have lasted through the summer for me in South Florida! Since they are native to this state, that may not surprise people, but there are a couple of tricks that help. #1 Initially, plant your seedlings down in a hole with good drainage, about 6 inches below ground level. #2 After there is 6" above the ground, fill in that hole with good dirt. #3 Some dappled shade in the middle of the day is a big help. Good Luck! I have given out many Everglades Tomato Seedlings around my neighborhood. Spread the word of your good results. PS- they will self reseed, usually where you don't want them to be! Just transplant.😊
We moved to Citrus County last Oct 31. I brought plants with me. Papaya, Banana, Lemon grass, Rosemary, tomatoes, basil, peppers 3 kinds, thyme, 2 kinds of Oregano, Cardamum, Moringa, loads of flowers, and Chaya. I am having to learn this yard. My old one had Papaya, Banana, Peaches, Moringa, Chaya, Casava, Passionfruit, Blackberries, Raspberries, Beans, Peas, Okra, Eggplant, Loads more in a much smaller yard. However I am dealing with a yard that has about 20 yrs of round up in soil. So Raised beds and Pots. SMH IDK what people think... Anyway Being very careful what I put in and where.
That’s tough but I think you can shape that soil up with some love and care
Yes, ginger is a summer crop. Its tropical and loves the heat and humidity. You can freeze ginger, dehydrate it to make ginger spice, ginger tea, ginger candy oh and ginger ale. My summer harvest has been, bananas, watermelon, papayas, pineapples soon. Lots of long beans, french sorrell, red onions, garlic, peppers, ginger and herbs. I have 3 huge Jamaican Sorrell bushes growing and lots of sweet potatoes. I have a lemon meyers tree, lime tree and collamondi orange tree, some tomato plants and eggplants, I'm using this summer to work around my garden I just put in a rain barrel and pulling weeds our Florida crab grass. Propgating herbs, growing my flower and aloe beds and planting new seedlings for succession sowing. I'm dehyrating lots of herbs to make spices. Each growing season gets better. Keeping up on my garden is much easier for me to handle doing small daily tasks in the evening rather than letting my garden get out of control during the summer months. How old is your Avacado tree? Happy Gardening.
That’s amazing. It sounds beautiful. Great job! My avocado is 3 years old, I think. It’s a grafted tree.
Ginger grows during warm months then tops get brown during fall /winter and that’s when you harvest the ginger. You can also leave it and it will keep producing. Try grating it, put in ice cubes tray, freeze, then ziplock bags. Make ginger tea, candy, put in smoothies it’s an anti inflammatory with pineapple. Tumeric and greens. You can try it with the mulberry smoothies.
@@RuthSosa-v4dI’m definitely going to try adding to the smoothies. Thanks for the tip
Rookie gardner in southern half of Tx, (S.A.) planted Cucumber (they're weird looking & round & small), Watermelon with lots of flowers & 2 fruit so far), red Peppers with 4 fruit, Blackberry bush that gave 5 pieces😂 so far, radish, cilantro & chives... i love your channel, Thank you for inspiration! So glad I found Ya!
Thanks so much for watching 💚
I learned something about growing turmeric…I was growing it for 5 mo nothing happened. Watch a lady on you tube she was talking about planting the skin only with the nodules I unplanted all the turmeric cut all the nodules an planted them now it’s only been a couple weeks I have turmeric growing😂
Nice trick!
I did not read all comments, so maybe someone else already mentioned this: maybe sweet potato slips that were rooting in water became too adapted to growing in water, so moving them to soil is a kind of shock to them. So, either you can give them plenty of water (and that will not remove their previous adaptation, just reduce the shock until plant adapts to new environment) or try to root them in soil next time (which works as well as in water). Good luck with your garden and thanks for your channel!
Thanks! I did start taking cuttings from the vine and planting them in the soil immediately and that did help this variety. Still had a large failure rate but not as much as in the water.
You are correct with turmeric and ginger. No sight for a good part of the year, then overnight they all get the message to grow.
Thanks for the confirmation. Now it all makes sense.
Yup. I always think winter killed them and then the last week of May they all come up.
Ive been harvesting broccoli still in 100+ temps. Im shocked! I definitely thought it would have bolted by now!
Wow that’s incredible. Where are you located?
I live beachside near Daytona Beach. My Thai Basil and Thai bird peppers love the heat and are profuse producers that require little care in or out of containers.
That’s awesome! Congrats
I'm not familiar with Thai Bird Peppers...can you tell a bit about them?
@@patriciatinkey2677 Hi Patricia--Thai bird peppers are small (approx. 1" long), VERY HOT peppers that were originally brought to Thailand from Portugal in the 1500s. They are a staple in Thai curries and other spicy Asian dishes. They can be harvested when they are green, but I prefer them bright red and fully ripe. Because their flavor is different from SW or Mexican chilis, I do not use them to make salsa, or in Southwestern or Mexican recipes. If you find fresh Thai Bird peppers in an Asian market, you can use their seeds to start a plant. Alternatively, several Etsy websites sell the seeds. My plant is in a large pot, it is over 2 years old, it loves the Florida sun and water, and it produces year-round.
You could also put some mulberries in the freezer, and then eat them like frozen candy.
Great idea!
I made a couple gluten free mulberry pies this year that everyone said was the best pies ever!
Added very little coconut sugar and the crust was almond flour. Can’t wait for the next harvest now :)
That sounds amazing! 😋
Have my first cantaloupe growing, I'm so excited. I grow tomatoes in partial shade this time of year and they do ok.
Nice!
Ginger always takes a very long time to get started for me in Destin. Turmeric is nearly twice as long. This year my Turmeric is catching up to the ginger fast! Everglades is always a Rockstar for me as well.
Yes I noticed the same thing too.
Ginger and turmeric yes plant them in March/April and harvest once’s the leaves drys out. I make a powder from my ginger, turmeric and a little black pepper and drink the tea every morning. It’s very good for arthritis.
I can’t wait to be able to do that. Thanks for the confirmation
Love your garden! You have packed a lot in! Plants that are doing well for me in the heat: Black eyed peas (prolific!), cherry tomatoes (in partial shade), Tromboncino squash, onions, turmeric, rosemary, Datil peppers, cubanelle peppers, Jimmy Nardello peppers, sweet potatoes. Green beans are about done. I go out early in the morning to check on things.
Yes I do lol. I hate empty spaces. You garden sounds like it’s doing great
My sweet and poblano peppers and cannelli beans are still doing good. Hanging onto a couple of my tomato plants just waiting patiently for a few of the remaining fruit to blush even though they're (barely) still setting fruit. Everything else is just about toast and I'm grossed out with all the white flies. I guess I'm going to have to get used to it LOL Hate to see how bad the bugs and disease will get with all the rain we're now getting. I'm so envious you have all that space for your fruit trees. Thanks for another good video.
Yeah I feel the same. Summer is basically bug and disease season
Great inspiration! Thank you! I did the same thing with my ginger and turmeric. All of a sudden they wake up and start growing. And, I’ve got a lot of them 😂. I’m do get a nice harvest so I’ve been dehydrating them then grinding up and use in cooking, teas, golden milk (turmeric).
I learned something new this season with them. Can’t wait to harvest them!
Great garden tour. So cute hearing the baby bird in the background.
I know! I think that’s the cardinal babies. We love watching the parents in the garden.
I'm in south FL and everything I've tried hasn't made it lol. So, I'll hold off until fall. I'm a first-time gardener so I learned the hard way.
Summers are tough here but fall and winter are where it’s at!
Hi, I'm in S FL, too. I can just about guarantee one thing that will grow! Get a bunch of organic green onions from the grocery store. Look at the bunches & get the one with the most roots on. Put them in water as soon as you get them home. Add some moisture holding dirt to where you want to plant, but having a bunch of sandy soil mixed in.( they don't want to sit in a puddle after being established.) Plant them where they will get about half a day of sun in summer. The angle of our S FL sun is more from the south in the winter, bit that's ok- more sun in winter is good. Water them every 3 days for 10 days. After that they should keep going for about 2 years! Best to just keep snipping off the oldest green shoots to use in salads, dips, egg dishes, etc. I haven't been out of green onions since I planted the first bunch 4 years ago.😊 They may give you seeds in the 2nd year, or some I had went 2 & a half. If you want some of the white part, they will usually regrow if you cut them off 2-3 inches above the ground. Only once a week watering needed after they settle in. Good luck! I call green onions the "Confidence Builder Plant". It was the first thing I grew except tomatoes.😊
Ginger & turmeric are definitely a “time of year thing”! Mine just started coming up a few weeks ago (NE FL).
I learned that the hard way 😂
@@HomegrownFloridaZ9a haha it's ok. You'll have plenty for freeze drying!
@@KK-FLgreat point!
I grow bananas in the ground, and so maybe it is different than in pots, but I have never heard of cutting off the babies. I thought they benefited from each other. Maybe ask Jackleen, wildfloridian, she grows a lot of bananas
Yes, it’s only because it’s in a pot. Jacqueline has given me a lot of tips. She’s the banana queen!
You could probably grow 3 or 4 muscadines along the fence over where your fruit trees are. They can also be grown in a large pot and spiraled up like an ice cream cone. Or even trained to loop around a tree. They don't have to be grown the way we typically see them.
That’s a great idea. Thank you
Knock on wood, my peppers, watermelon and sweet potatoes are all loving the heat. I'm looking forward to the fall so I can replant everything else. Hopefully we won't have an extended summer 🥵
Oh man. I hope not. I’m looking forward to a short summer
The disease hit my watermelon patch!I had to mixed hydrogen peroxide!Its works great Im getting new growth,on my crimson sweet.Im going to plant sugarbaby asap, because time wait for no one😂!🙏The Garden of Eden!!
I’m expecting disease on mine any day now since we have so much rain
I just tore out my everglade tomato. Up here in the Panhandle, I'm still learning from my move last year to the South. I was zone 4 for 30 years. New pests, new critters, thanks for sharing your info. I feel better about what I'm doing. I'll try to post a few videos on my channel about my own garden and what I just tore out and what's working out.
It’s a bit of an adjustment but you got this. The biggest difference is the timing, soil and pests but all are manageable.
With squash, once they flower stop fertilizing with nitrogen and get a fertilizer that is higher potassium and phosphorous - hubby and I grow pumpkins in GA (zone 7b) for the last two years and use Farmers Secret Bloom feed
Thanks for the tips!
I have Spanish lavender in the ground in full sun. Maybe repot yours with 1/2 sand 1/2 soil. I’ve never had luck in a pot.
I might have to try that variety. Mine is still hanging in there but not doing much.
I’m in the middle of Fl and I didn’t get many peppers this year either. Had a lot last year. I think it is “just a year.”
That’s what I’m chalking it up to. Just a weird year.
Yes, my green beans are not looking good!I had to plant the Thia long bean,are doing great😊.I need to buy sweet potatoes slips,kind of forgot to start them this year from a sweet potato 🤔.
I really like the Thai soldier beans. They love the heat
Supposedly you can get some plants to grow by using a shade cloth in high temps and hot sun (40% shade cloth is popular)..
Thanks for the video!
Yes, I’ve heard others have had success with shade cloth
Had mixed feelings when I saw your Seminole pumpkin up the palm tree because I thought I was being so smart when I did this at my Mom's. I was glad to see that it actually worked but a little disappointed that I wasn't so brilliant....or maybe you're just brilliant too.
I vote that we are both brilliant 😜
I started a garden this year in central Florida with an 4x8 foot bed and I planted san Marzano tomatoes, cherry tomatoes and sunflowers and they are taking off right now! I also tried peppers but I think I started them too late as they stopped growing when I transplanted them, and now I'm gonna put some long beans in their place and hopefully they will do well. thanks for the vid!
It was a tough pepper year this year.
I have a friend with a mulberry tree and they make mulberry pie and mulberry pancakes….
Mulberry pancakes with mulberry syrup sounds amazing 🤤
Another excellent video!!it helped me feel better about transplanting my watermelons I have been growing indoors today 👊🏻🌻👊🏻
You got this!
I put my Puerto Rican black beans seeds out last week, nothing has sprouted so we will see,my ginger and turmeric are doing great although the Ginger does have white spots on it not sure what’s going on there. If you get an abundance of either ginger or turmeric , you can always slice it up dehydrated and powder it for teas..
That’s a great idea
Ground cherries are the only plants that has consistently given us fruit during 100+ degree weather.
I love ground cherries. They reseed themselves every year
Thank you for doing this video. I'm in new Port Richey and of course having the heat problem. From what I have read, I thought I was going to have to wait till September to plant again.
There are some things that really love our heat. Give it a shot
Everglades tomatoes are beasts. I just started some a few weeks ago only in probably 88-90 degree heat and high humidity here in Sarasota county, and I'm pretty sure I got 100 percent germination. Im already sold on them. Oh, and they're growing on my lanai in probably 75 percent shade so theyre not getting adequate sunlight, and they seem to not even care. Same with thai basil, seems to love the heat and humidity. Surprisingly though my chives and sage are fine. However, all this stuff is growing in containers so take these results with a grain of salt I guess
Sounds like you are doing an awesome job!
Use milk 8/1 ratio water . Spray at night or early morning
Great tip!
Those cucumbers are great!
I love them!
Hi neighbor! I'm in Citrus County and my garden looks very similar to yours as far as what is still growing. But, i have bananas. I counted them and there are 41 total. They are also the dwarf cavendish. So looking forward to those. I'm always checking for that big purple bloom and then if i forget about it all of a sudden it is there. I never get to see it form. It does take about 18 months. This is my 3rd batch so far and they're very sweet. I did watch your video on the new Sugarbelle Oranges and i did buy one of those and it's doing really well. I saw on the Millennial Gardener he had found a cucumber called Merlin that I am anxious to try. I will plant them soon. They don't need pollinators and they only get female flowers so there should be lots of cucumbers. I am also storing away black beans. I'm on my second batch. I do have them under shade cloth so i will see how they work out underneath it. Hoping we get some rain soon.
Your fruit trees are looking amazing. I planted the seeds inside the loquat fruit and had 25 trees. I gave a lot of them away. I already have 3 trees but i think i will find a spot and have a loquat section. I hate to let them die so i will find a spot for them.
Looking forward to planting my fall garden and some cooler weather.
Florida Gardener
Zone 9a
I’m looking forward to my banana and loquats too. Fingers crossed 🤞
Arrgh! Now I'm smacking myself on the forehead for not planting any of my Loquat seeds! Oops! Thanksfor mentioning this. I will next time 🤣🌱
If you don't see anything coming up right away, don't get discouraged as they take about a month to start to pop up. They're really easy to grow and they seem to grow very fast.
Petrina, just an FYI- Walmart has the Pro Mix, the compressed one that you used, for 13.48 ea. They're on sale. I bought one a couple of weeks ago and it was 17.99 so this is a good deal. They're going fast according to the wrbsite.
@@ellenconforti5693 ooh. Thanks so much. I go through that stuff fast
Thank you for sharing ✌🏽💖🤟🏽✨️🧚♂️
You are so welcome
Great video..... putting in sweet potatoes, watermelons and summer tomatoes this week.....
Nice! Enjoy your garden time
When do you start seeds for fall/winter? Could you please do a video about that?
Absolutely. I usually start over August and September
Hi. New subscriber here. I'm so glad that I found your channel. I'm in central FL as well. This is my 3rd year gardening herbs, but I'm just getting serious and gardening with purpose. Lol, I have a follow-up question. Do you start your seeds in August/September, or transfer starts outside at that time? Thanks for all of your insights.
that’s when I start my seeds. If you are starting from transplants, add a month
My turmeric took a couple of months and the ginger just now sprouting now .
They just pop up when they feel like it 🤣
I have cherry tomatoes still producing, although struggling and they are in heavy sun. Get a little shade by African marigolds. Wish I knew the variety because I would totally plant them again. Hoping to savage some seeds and get some propagates.
Definitely save those seeds! That’s a heat tolerant tomato
I use my mulberries in smoothies and in my oatmeal and with yogurt
Like a parfait. Great idea!
Thank you!
Can you talk about your larger trees/plants that you put right up against your house? Any concerns about the roots causing problems with the foundation or the branches/leaves/fruit messing with your paint?
I try to choose plants that have minimal root systems next to the house. Berries are usually fine. I also trim them to keep them small. Bigger fruits I place away from the house.
@@HomegrownFloridaZ9a Good stuff. I have some blueberry and blackberry plants that I might put against the house. Thanks!
Loved the complete tour!! How do you know which plants will do well inside the screened-in patio?
I mainly aim to keep plants that are sensitive to cold temperatures inside the patio to be able to move them easily during winter. Also the water from the pool does warm the air a bit for those sensitive plants
@@HomegrownFloridaZ9a oh ok, nice! Thank you!
I've got sweet potatoes, red beans, lima beans, my lacinato kale is still producing. I moved my peppers to a more shaded spot in the garden & they are still producing a little. I planted peanuts for the first time, they seem to be doing great. My hot chili pepper plant is going on its second year, still producing, I'm about to plant some Puerto Rican black beans, just have to put together the trellis for it.
I love seeing your garden, so many plants. I always look forward to your videos. Thanks again for sharing.
Your garden sounds awesome! Great job and thanks for watching
Pertaining to your website. I couldn’t find a place to leave a message, so here I am.
I like the website and its ease of. Use. I 😅really wanted a hard copy garden planterbut I guess you dont sell them. I did order ecopy. Anyway good job on website.
Thanks! Yes, I only offer the ebook. You could download it and print it at home or through staples.
I'm having a great watermelon year too. When do the vines die back? I never had them live into June.
Same here. Mine are usually dead by now.
You may have mentioned this, I don't recall..
Are you growing Blue Turmeric? I am growing both orange and blue varieties, but the blue turmeric has that purple stripe going up the leaf. Thank you for your videos😄
It’s actually black turmeric but it sounds similar to the blue
@@HomegrownFloridaZ9a That is interesting. It will also be interesting to see when you harvest it, if you will have nodulose roots on your turmeric. Both my blue turmeric plants had this. At the end of each root, it had an egg shape ball. From what I read, is called starch roots. Happy Gardening, and harvesting your turmeric, when the time times!😄
I had a great pepper harvest, but I ended up pulling them early because I have HORRID white fly problems here. I don't like the yellow sticky traps because inevitably the anoles get stuck on them and I have to perform a rescue with olive oil to get them unstuck. If anyone has any better ways to get RID of white fly, please let me know!
I’ve had them before. I usually have to spray them off with water every other day until the population decreases. I’ve seen other people use insecticidal soap sprays.
What variety of avocado & what growing zone are you in?
Moschata squash are very much anti bug... Seminole, Tromboncino...
You might also consider shading certain crops, for improved performance.
I use to have a tropical garden in SOFLO circa 80's (moved away for a good many yrs). We are currebtly in the midwest, have gotten in triple digits, asparagus beans do outstanding... I'm able to grow lots of okra, & italian lettuces/romaine varities... hapoy gardening!
Thanks : )
It’s a Day Avocado and it’s amazing. We love it. I love the moschata squash varieties. I’m trying out 2 new varieties this fall 🤞
My Seminole squash is suffering from heat. I tested front sunny yard vs partially shaded back yard. Both are sad. Second year trying and haven't gotten any squash yet. Im thinking of putting more seeds now. July 30th.
If you let it keep going, it will bounce back in fall and produce a lot. Mine mainly just grow big this time of year and then produce during fall.
@@HomegrownFloridaZ9a thanks!
My mint just bolted overnight. Didn't think it would. 🤦
I didn’t either 😳
hello, growing bell pepper, poblano, and cubanelles. All doing well. Please tell me what has happened to my bells. at least 5-7 on this little bush. it was toppling over so I secured it and the peppers were kind of more in the sun. now some of them have a tan area on the fruit. Is this because of new position or is there a problem I need to address. HELP I dont want to lose my plant.
That’s sunburn. It’s probably from the repositioning. You want the leaves to cover the fruit so the sun doesn’t hit the peppers directly. You can still eat them, just cut that part off.
Nice Sunflowers! How do you manage to get any seeds from them before the birds?
They take some but they always seem to leave me plenty. I guess I have polite birds in my area.
informative
Thanks!
@@HomegrownFloridaZ9a you are welcome
What variety of Avocado and Mulberry trees are you growing? Planning to buy some at Green Dreams nursery soon.🙂
I have a Day avacado and a Thai Dwarf Mulberry. I love both of these varieties
@@HomegrownFloridaZ9a Thank you🙂
I was wondering what if any fertilizer have you been using in the heat of Florida? Thanks it’s brutal.
Mostly just compost at this point. I try to avoid fertilizer during the summer since our rains end up just washing it away
my roselle’s are huge we had some wind it split one in half but it’s still growing on its side😂 question have you ever grown watermelon in the fall season? I just finished my first raised bed and now am growing water melon started the seeds in the beginning of the month.
I’ve never tried in fall. I mainly grow them in spring. But I would love to hear how a fall planting does for you
You can still get a good harvest if you plant your watermelon late!Our summer here in Florida can last long !I do know that Crimson Sweet does well and Sugar baby!
How did you start the Roselle? In seed trays or direct sowing?
I start mine in trays but they can also be direct sown.
QUESTION 🙋🏼♀️
How do you deal with fire 🔥 ants 🐜? I want to make some raised beds to grow in, east Texas, bad trouble with fire ants 🐜. Any suggestions ?
Usually if I find a pile in my beds, I try to annoy them enough that they leave. So I pour water on them or poke the pile with a stick every day and eventually they leave. At least that has been my experience
Do you think we can grow watermelon now in Spring Hill and if so what kind in a raised bed,, thank you thank you😊
I would probably wait till August to try planting watermelons for a fall crop. Aim for smaller icebox melons since we never know what our winters look like. I have an Amazon store link in my video description with the raised beds I use in my garden.
@@HomegrownFloridaZ9a thank you
My mulberry only gave 3 fruits, it's big, I know I need to trim it. Can I do that at any time?
I usually aim for summer and winter to trim.
Do Thai Soldier Beans or Puerto Rican Black Beans have to be on a trellis?
I’ve grown the Thai soldiers without a trellis but if you can provide a tomato cage, it would be helpful. The PR black beans really need something big to climb.
@@HomegrownFloridaZ9a Thank you!
It's impossible because of funghi diseases,pests .. High humidity till 75-80 per cents + 32-35 segrees creates the sauna effect, If i can't breathe so plants also can't. Every year i believe with naive child approach if i start early in March it will produce a lot of veggies without getting diseases and this year made me really depressed and disappointed..In my 3 years of gardening I never face with such funghi diseases and lost of yield of 3 cherry tomatoes+ pepper got fruits but not tasty...
I struggle with fungal diseases too. I started spraying mine with hydrogen peroxide and water.
The russian bacillus subtilis spray didn't work for me...Only sulfur spray but only for peppers plant...My tomatoes were already too much damaged. What proportion of hydrogen peroxide??
And don't forget you have much morning sun + more space in ground.I have only 5 sq.metres + 2 sq.metres 2 balconies with afternoon sun!!

Hi Patrina, what is the name of that Asian Cucumber?
Thank you
Suyo Long 💚
Thanks from me, too for asking thquestuon I needed an answer to!
What about using shade cloth? I have started using a 40% shade cloth which so far really seems to be helping.
I have a huge amount of trees on my west side so it adds natural shade which does help.
First year for me using shade cloth here in MS. Everything is holding up better so far from what I can tell, especially the tomatoes.
Same for me. The shade cloth really made a difference. My bell peppers were being burned alive and now are setting fruit.
What type of plum tree?
Gulf Beauty and the Gulf Rose is in the pot
Girl you just blow my mine with your jocaba,in a pot thats has fruit on it!I plant minds in the ground and its not growing it looks sad!I need to figure out what Im doing wrong😢
I was told they like slightly acidic soil so mine is in just peat moss and I add some soil acidifier once a year
Thanks 👍
