    Happy New Year! Your native plant series inspired me so much that I bought your 2024 Planner and can't wait to plan and plant. I live in St. Pete too, so I feel like I'm learning from a neighbor! We've been in this house for 30+ years, and I've had so many different plants and trees, but since COVID, I've been slowly transforming my garden to natives to attract more butterflies and bees. Thanks in advance for all your help! I hope 2024 is fantastic. 🙂

My varieties are Floridade, Florida 91, 4th of July (just blooming now), Roma and Amish paste. They are almost ripened- hopefully they will be picked before any frosty days in early Feb. Thanks for the reminders to start peppers now!

      Not over the chips. Wood chips take about 3 months to 9 months to become available for veggies in Florida. So you may not need to add anything. If you were going to add compost, pull back the mulch near the plant, add the compost, and then push the mulch over. That way the yummies for the plant can get to the roots faster.

    • @WildFloridian

    So I have a wuestion. I got some beach sunflower from a local nursery in St. Pete. After the heavy rainfall this week it is developing (or possibly already had but it's now coming out) the sunflower rust. It already has blossomed for the first time, but I am wondering in your experience if you have ever dealt with it and what I should do going forward. I don't want to spray it with anything, if you have a natural alternative that would be great. I did read that it affects sunflower plants only so the porterweed and firebush, which are looking good, should be fine. So if anyone reads this comment and knows what to do, thanks in advance. I thought because it's native it would be fine but it appears all sunflowers are prone to this if they were grown commercially and if the conditions are right, like the heavy rainfall we had.
