And houses make up about 60% of CO2, so the move from 50s-60s houses of 800 to new houses that are now being built to 5000 square feet is a real issue. I live up north, and they are building these silos that are 3 and 4 stories high, really poor for heat conservation.
@@HondoTrailside co2 isnt bad...houses dont produce co2...in regard to those silos you speak of, well all those millions of illegals biden is letting in have to live somewhere .
The county is regarding 1200sqft or more because they can't charge you as much property taxes on an 800sq ft house. Small house cost less to build and to own. Doesnt make sense.
I have to watch every Jim video twice because he gives such quality content for us FL growers. I have sections of my yard totally Jim-inspired. Thanks.
I got the pleasure to meet Jim early this year, a really down to earth humble guy, talking to him I felt like I knew him for years, he's truly an inspiration when it comes to gardening, best on RUclips in my opinion. Thanks for the videos!!
@@PeteKanarisGreenDreamsFL Another request for seeds and I must have more information on the ant contraption Jim's using. I have fire ants near my sweet potato patch... 😔
Jim is a bundle of knowledge and an inspiration. He is an American treasure for what he does and motivates us home vegetable gardeners.. please keep checking in with Jim videos. checking in from Virginia zone 7b. Rafael
Thanks Pete and Jim, you have restored my faith in being able to garden in Florida. Getting the free mulch from the county and sifting it for the black gold soil has changed everything. I now have gardens with at least 20 distinct vegetables planted and growing like crazy! 😁
Oh, and on the subject of saving seed from Arcadia/hybrids/whatever, I highly recommend Carol Deppe's Breed Your Own Vegetable Varieties. She's a traditional plant breeder that was trained as a geneticist, and her book covers just about everything you'd want to know about breeding and saving seeds, including how to dehybridize hybrid varieties.
Tarred bankline lasts me for years, I hand tie nets with 6" holes to use for trellises. I am harvesting peas, favas, and everything else I planted in fall. I need to get some moringa going, to go in the medicinal herb garden. I have hydroponic peppers producing that I just moved out a week ago. Unripe ground cherries can have more toxicities then ripe it exists in some small percentage in all Solanaceae family plants. That is why green bell peppers are more bitter then red. We do raised beds a lot here in mid TN where we have clay and breed rocks very well. It's funny, I started watching Jim with his European sythe video.
I had issues with root knot nematodes....I sowed mustard seeds in early fall (early Oct) and incorporated the mustard into the soil around early Feb and mulched. I planted French Dwarf Marigolds along with my tomatoes and my bad nematode issues were resolved. It's been two years now and so far I'm doing good. (Riverside, CA 9b) I just recently discovered this channel and thank you for the uploads!
So much variety in this garden of joy..tried and true....the flower experiment has paid off..the sunflowers look really abundant.. Happy trails back to Maine..🌳🏤🌲
That Florida sand eats compost quick. I saw huge changes when I learned to leave it on top. Watering it in helps create a fertile mulch from the unfinished parts.
@@PeteKanarisGreenDreamsFL Curious about the same !! My guess is the travel time, variety of states & climates actually helps a bit ! The man is a machine :) Thx, Pete !!
I'm sure his nomadic genes keep his interest alive in both places..his curiosity never leaves him..the balance is so natural to him..just like the gardens he produces with joy.
Hey Jim and Pete. On the subject of water, here in Miami, we have not had any rain and I need to water everyday. I use the water from the house that I catch from left over coffee, rinsing vegetables, etc. It is not enough. Out comes the hose, two times a day. To see the two of you together is such a good feeling. I learn and appreciate you both.
Yet another Great Video Pete. I was originally from Jim’s neck of the woods Vermont. Snow in April is a Poor Mans Fertilizer. Jim and yourself are very exciting and should I say very Knowledgeable. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you both for sharing.
Pete, I love your channel. We live in Canada (Ontario) and moving to New Brunswick, also in Canada - zone 5b which is same latitude as Maine, where you said you are heading to in August. I would love to see more videos about zone 5 ... Our house has some land to it and the plan is try to grow food all year. Any videos with information on that will be highly appreciated!! Thank you and keep up the great work you do in your channel!
Hi Jim and Pete. You talked about all the food to be thrown on the compost, my question is why do not you call a food bank and hear if they want to send someone and harvest a little at a time, (maybe next year) the idea that so much food goes to waste when many in the US have nothing, almost hurts ... (just have to tell that I am not from the US but Denmark, so do not quite know what is legal in the US) but could this not be an option, if not other things that are ready and that Jim can not take to Main? Jim your way of growing has been a great inspiration .. when I started as a home gardener, I just grew, the thing got into the ground etc, and the first year went super, but then there were a lot of well-meaning people who told that it was not how you did it, so I changed it, bought fertilizer pills like them, etc., and it just did not go very well, so I decided to look a little at what nature itself does, and what it really was I wanted , because when you as a new gardener "fail" many give up, but in reality they have not failed with just got some advice that might work for the big farmer, but not in the small kitchen garden .. now I have seen your videos ( I do not do quite like you, "other climate" but much of the same, and I LOVE it .. the garden and nature have become my sanctuary, my "quiet space" the place with joys and fun, and that is the meaning .. last year I got a lot of chips on my raspberry bed, the years before it was a boring harvest, last year I raised probably 10 kg a f .. huge beautiful delicious raspberries, even the neighbors were surprised, they gave and gave, and even with minus 15 degrees this winter, they now shoot last year shoots, and it spills up with new .. just because the moisture stays in the ground and the earth gets what they need .. and with something as simple as wood chips ❤️ Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge ❤️🇩🇰🇩🇰🇩🇰🇩🇰🇩🇰
looking at the fruit and the leaf pattern and comparing to my 160 varities of figs i have .. to me it looks like a Mt. Etna.. like hardy chicago. but as big as the tree is there in fl i wonder if if the root stock is LSU Purple because it the one of the only nemotote resist i know of .... thank you pete and jim for all the great videos
@@PeteKanarisGreenDreamsFL yes I do. tho i just really going in the 5 yrs . and still build up plant material and just got nursery certi. this season... i have fig ,,pawpaw, persimmon, black berry gooseberry current goumi honey berry.. alot of the odder things here in zone 6/7
i would love to order Jim's Broccoli seeds. Astro, I believe is the variety? Thanks for visiting him again. He is a plethora of knowledge and so humble. Just the neighbor you would want to have. I would love to meet him someday.
It's a black genoa fig Jim. I grow them here and propagate at least one from cuttings each season to increase the stock, though they fruit prolifically enough to have just one. I'm buying arcadia broccoli seeds now because you recommended it here Jim. We have the heat you face in Florida here too. Thanks for covering the visit Pete. Great stuff.
Pete, I know that Jim is your mentor, but I wanted to thank both of you. I love these videos you do for Jim, what a great guy and so full of knowledge. Love to see how you are using his techniques in your business, your plants look great. Jim's plants ofcourse are always WOW. Thanks for sharing, will be waiting for the AUG trip vids to Maine, ;-)
Thanks for the videos. I'm new to gardening, and in land o lakes florida to boot. So I need to watch there videos as much as possible!!! Thank you!😃have a safe trip home to Maine 😎
Great timing! I was literally just having a conversation about how most plants can survive on rainfall alone, all other things being ideal (mulch, etc.), but available soil moisture has a huge impact on production. Steve Solomon reports winter squash yields of 20 pounds without any irrigation at all (and we get 3-4 months without rain during our main growing season), but adding just 5 gallons of fertigation per plant per month increases the yield to 50 pounds per plant. So what I'm trying to do is incorporate as many water holding strategies as possible so that I can maximize production without added irrigation.
Mulch, roots and organic matter in the soil. Get the water to infiltrate not run off. Youve probably heard of Gabe Brown, a rancher in North Dakota where they only get 15 inches of rain and use no irrigation. Just cover crops and grazing from his cattle
@@deathlesszero There are way more options and there is way more nuance than that. As evidenced by Jim's experience. He's doing exactly what you call for and he still can't maximize his tumeric yields without added irrigation. I don't irrigate at all, but I've got a chinampa/hugelkultur/terra preta hybrid design that I'm working on, plus experimenting a lot with the works of Bill Zeedyk, Craig Sponholtz, Elaine Ingham, Paul Gautschi, and so many others. Plus using Steve Solomon's recommendations to reduce transpiration. You can hold way more water in the soil by combining these different techniques than by using them in isolation. And the goal, for me, is to maximize production without adding irrigation, not simply to just get things to produce at all.
You can take cuttings of the fig and get a clone quite easily. Just stick about 3 nodes of woody growth and bury them up to the third node in about late August (UK) in some soil or potting compost in a pot, over winter, and in the spring you should get a few plants, if you have done about 10 cuttings in a 10” pot. I get my cuttings from trimming a nice fig tree at a customer’s house and have had great success and have given them as gifts for friends, to try and get them interested in producing something edible from the garden. I guess you could sell them if you wanted.
PETE...JIMS GLADIOLIS R SOMETHING ELSE... ITS D STRIKING COLOURS IV NOT SEEN BEFORE...PLZZ KEEP D BULBS N TAG THEM N PLACE D COLOUR TONES ON D PACK N SELL...DONT FORGET TO TAKE NICE PICTURE'S OF D VARIOUS COLOURS WHEN THEY R IN FULL BLOOM. I WAS STUNNED TO SEE THAT JANSON VIOLET BLUE ...ITS VERY STRIKING. OF COURSE D TWO TONE GOLDEN ORANGE TOO R REAL BEAUTIES.
Sweet video! Love you guys! I'm always so amazed with Jim's energy and output. I'm headed back to Maine in July. I'm gonna be a great grandma in the end of August! (Don't know if I'll be as far down East as Jim ), but I'll keep my eye out for you! Coast of Maine is as beautiful in summer as Florida. ( Be sure to bring your warm clothes, though), south western Maine still has frost in the ground... Can't even get peas started, yet!
Hey guys! From Cape Town, South Africa :) about nematodes, if you find them to be an issue maybe try interplant with marigolds where you have a problem? They excrete an oil from their roots that takes care of the nematodes ;) love following you guys! Incredible stuff!
Does everyone see how we used to build houses?....small and modest, leave a lot of yard....
Heard that!
And houses make up about 60% of CO2, so the move from 50s-60s houses of 800 to new houses that are now being built to 5000 square feet is a real issue. I live up north, and they are building these silos that are 3 and 4 stories high, really poor for heat conservation.
@@HondoTrailside co2 isnt bad...houses dont produce co2...in regard to those silos you speak of, well all those millions of illegals biden is letting in have to live somewhere .
I like the old smaller houses with a nice yard and the old neighborhoods with trees! Sad about the destruction of trees in the new neighborhoods.
The county is regarding 1200sqft or more because they can't charge you as much property taxes on an 800sq ft house. Small house cost less to build and to own. Doesnt make sense.
Pops always used to say "Never tell people when you are leaving out of town because they will know your not home."
Luckily the neighbor stays at Jim’s place while he’s gone 😊
I have to watch every Jim video twice because he gives such quality content for us FL growers. I have sections of my yard totally Jim-inspired. Thanks.
Amen, wisdom on steroids!
Yes, he definitely earned his phd by the work and sweat he has put in, and learning by what nature has taught him good and bad!

I love in ground planting . I guess raised beds have their place ! I’ m with Jim just raise the soil.
Jim is definitely a fan favorite. Safe travels Jim. Looking forward to you heading up north.
Your fig tree looks very similar to mine in Western Australia and mine is a Ficus Carica commonly known as Black Genoa.
Oh no - I'm supposed to be getting ready for work, but just HAVE to watch this - ITS JIM AGAIN !
🤣😬👊
My favourite videos are these where he just chats. To some it might seem insignificant however these chats are just dense with info. Love it
Thanks Pete and Jim, you have restored my faith in being able to garden in Florida.
Getting the free mulch from the county and sifting it for the black gold soil has changed everything.
I now have gardens with at least 20 distinct vegetables planted and growing like crazy! 😁
That’s awesome 🤩
Is the the free mulch in st Pete FL and do you have to ask for any particular type of mulch for the top soil?
Jim is a garden wizard. Extremely impressed!
Jim’s market garden waste could feed lots of hens! Tanglefoot Oil? 🐜 Must have. Thanks Pete. ❤️🌱
