It's good to see your vids again David. Not bad soil in spots. Compost makes a world of difference. I went from sand to soil in a couple of years, it's always getting better.we all reap what we sow.
Thanks now I feel better. I transplanted two papaya saplings which were together in a 4 inch pot with mint plant all around it in the same pot . What's funny is I did "Yanked it out" and transplanted it in a new agricultural land I bought which is far away from my home so I hope it grows on its own as it's monsoon season here in India.
LOL! I love your ending. Anyways, I came to see what you had to say after I transplanted a few papaya yesterday...all of the other videos are like "Don't do it...ok, do it suuuuuper carefully...ok, read the transplant its last rites." LOL!! Mine looked great but this afternoon look a little sad...just a little. I will hold tight, I'm sure they'll perk up! Thank you for making me feel a bit better.
Best of Luck David with the property. I'm glad your landlord allowed another year, God grant you the path to property ownership. Rachel's right, you look great! ;)
I once had papaya seedlings popping up in one of my raised beds which was weird because we've never had papaya and the compost I used was my own. Unfortunately it gets too cold for them in the winter here so no point in trying to grow them, though.
So happy to hear you can stay another year but what about the land you all want to buy? Could you buy the land your farming now? Sounds like whatever the owner had planed fell thru. Oh and that is exactly how my dad always planted papayas here in Central Florida. 👍
The land we're working right now is worth about $100,000 US - too much for us to attempt. Lord willing, the other land should be purchased by December at some point. That is cool that your dad used the same method.
@@davidthegood Wow maybe there gold there. That's nuts. Yes our whole back yard was full of papayas, pineapples avocados oranges tangerines grapefruits and had those Wild Cherries that grow in the bush that are red and in turn real purple can't think of the name. That is where I got my garening bug. Lol. I can't wait to see you all get your land. 🙏 Prayer and lots of luck it works out👍
Well that's good to know they will bounce back I threw some papaya seeds in a whole bunch of buckets I had over the summer and well they sprouted I have over a hundred of them and the one was really big and I figured it was time to transplant it where I had my flying dragon orange tree. Well I potted it up and it started sagging like it was ready to die so I put a bag over it brought it upstairs into the window hoping it's going to do better.
I took about 10 seeds from a papaya fresh from the fruit. 5 seeds germinated and i thinned it to two seedlings in a 4x4x4 cup. Bothe seedlings are upright and appeaer strong. They are 5 inches tall. How much longer skould i wait before uppotting them.
Papaya and corn companion planting😀I will keep it in mind☺️Ihave bought a couple dollars worth of super sweet corn from the U.H. @ Manoa along with some kabocha pumpkin squash from the green garden guy...I wanna plant it next spring in my compost pile....not with papaya though,,because I live in Pittsburgh...for now...but maybe sun flowers, beans, peanuts, and brassicas...🐌🐝🦆🍄🥜🤙
Yay on the land! But then you have chosen a lifetime of gardening adventure so it won’t always be what you plan but it will always be an adventure - especially if you find a truckload of valuable coins!!! LOL
I have to do the opposite when I plant most trees. I mound them up and keep the crown a couple of inches above ground level, then make a trench all the way around, about 18 inches wide, starting 6-8 inches away from the base. I fill the trench with organic stuff. That way excess water doesn't sit around the tree and rot the roots, but it stays and collects in the trench under the organic stuff. I also find that not giving it quite as easy access to water and nutrients makes it work for it a bit more sturdy tree. By the way, the dog barking in your video was really concerning to my dog. She gave a paws down. I gave a thumbs up.
I haven't planted papaya in the ground yet but I've had no trouble replanting them in pots,many people say it's easy to ruin their root system which is why my late grandfather was the sort of person who planted them in tin cans on his old banana 🍌 farm them once they got big enough he would plant them in the ground,tin & all. That was until the turn of the century when he developed an allergy which his doctor said was due to eating the papaya which has latex in it,the latex may cause allergies. I have quite a few of them growing in pots now,they do tend to die back in our humid subtropical climate at winter time as it can get down to 2°C (36°F) overnight but our summer has been mostly a mild 20-30°C (68-86°F) this year & they love it. My climate is Cfa in Australia,the USDA plant hardiness zone is 10b,if you drive 100 kilometres (60 miles) inland, they are in a 10a zone. Last February it got too hot 🔥 for them to be kept out in the full sun at 45°C (113°F) but this summer is more ideal for them as we're also out of El Nino & in La Nina so mother nature waters the plants, we're out of a drought now !
You can grow a massive amount of food here in less space, thanks to the abundance of root crops. You also never have a down season, other than when it's dry. If it's dry and you have irrigation, you can grow 365 days per year. There is a much larger variety of fruit trees as well.
My papayas grow from seed to 6 or seven ft. tall and have lots of fruit in one season here in central fl but all die in the cold. However, I have one growing between bamboo and the house and here it is late January and it is 10 ft tall and flowering but no fruit, no bees. I guess it too will die later in the winter, but I still have hope it will survive because of its location.[t
I had 3 out of 5 papayas I transplanted die. They all got root rot. So I just transplanted another one and now I'm hardly watering it at all. Wish me luck
Papaya grow everywhere you put the seeds here. Wild,No maintenance hog food. I myself don't like ripe papaya, I use green papayas like a squash in soups. Our pet pig loves crunching the seeds. Rot the stinky ripe ones and you have great hog bait. Coffee is ripe here. First round pick starting today. Aloha
I believe it's very cold sensitive; however, you could try it against a south-facing wall as I write about in Push the Zone (amzn.to/2oSxOSG), or perhaps put it in a big pot and wheel it in during any close-to-freezing or freezing events.
It's possible. I take the Postmillenialist/Preterist view on Revelation and think Nero was the Antichrist, but I do think history obviously runs in cycles. The multicultural nature of the US now means there are multiple nations fighting for supremacy within the borders and that won't end well.
be careful of the coin, we mght finally be able to figure out where you are. I am in CA also and understand why you don´t publicize it. On topic, I really think Papaya are one of the best things to use as ´first plants´ for kids. They grow so easy and fast and if you plant them at beginning of rainy season, you can get fruit in 5 or 6 months
No doubt. I forgot where you are are, I'm still new to your channel! I remember when we moved to Indiana from Mississippi, wondering why people kept talking about the "piney plants". I finally asked what they were, and was told that's what they call peonies! We've moved to several states, and are back in Mississippi, where pawpaws and papayas both grow well. Ans where a favorite flower has just come into bloom, known locally as naked ladies, shrimp plant, red ladies, and hurricane flowers.
Glad you have a sense of humor. I'm really enjoying your channel, and enjoy the fact that your kids are in the garden with you. I grew up that way, my kids did too, and now my grandkids.

I love how you threw in the gospel... God bless.. I’m going now to trAnsplant my tree... hope it does well
I tried for a whole year to grow papaya here in the hot high desert and finally I have succeeded at it , I thank the lord for giving me patience
What variety did you grow in the desert?
It's good to see your vids again David. Not bad soil in spots. Compost makes a world of difference. I went from sand to soil in a couple of years, it's always getting better.we all reap what we sow.

You guys Crack me up... love the laughs and the knowledge. Thanks!
Papayas are so good
I have few growing in my growing tent
Beautiful garden.All the food you can eat and organic. ❤❤❤

What an adventure! Digging and find treasure👍😎
Love seeing you again, missed your vids.
Thank you.
He's Back!
Reminds me of the garden in lost!
Glad you have such good soil. Do you get snow there?
No, not here - this was in the tropical Caribbean.
@David The Good ok. Yeah my friend lives in Monte Plata D.R. they can grow potatoes to coconuts and jackfruit. But it's really hot and humid there.
Glad you are back‼️
A tip : you can watch movies on Flixzone. I've been using it for watching loads of movies these days.
@Edwin Robert Yup, been watching on flixzone} for months myself =)
@Edwin Robert Yea, been watching on Flixzone} for years myself :D
@Edwin Robert yea, I've been using flixzone} for years myself :)
yes, you are looking
Best of Luck David with the property. I'm glad your landlord allowed another year, God grant you the path to property ownership. Rachel's right, you look great! ;)

Can I just use seeds from a papaya from the grocery store in New Smyrna Beach FL?
Yes

I transplanted some papayas some make and some don’t looking pot my to big trees before winter ❄️ watching this they should be fine
oaxacan is pronounced "wahakan" fyi Love your videos. Might try papayas, thanks
Noni fruit. I ate it once. ONCE!
Did it taste bad or something?
How do you eat that😔😭 like srsly I have the tree but it stanks idk what to do
seen many videos of yours .is it possible to know as to which plant is going to be male? Can we chop it off , does it change the gender if kept?
Love the channel!
Yay on the land! But then you have chosen a lifetime of gardening adventure so it won’t always be what you plan but it will always be an adventure - especially if you find a truckload of valuable coins!!! LOL
Just casually strolling around the garden, eating Noni, no big deal.
I have to do the opposite when I plant most trees. I mound them up and keep the crown a couple of inches above ground level, then make a trench all the way around, about 18 inches wide, starting 6-8 inches away from the base.

Cool another year.
what!!! this is the only plant i've seen that you just pull it out like that.
Like a tomato, can you translate the papaya deeper into the soil?
I haven't planted papaya in the ground yet but I've had no trouble replanting them in pots,many people say it's easy to ruin their root system which is why my late grandfather was the sort of person who planted them in tin cans on his old banana 🍌 farm them once they got big enough he would plant them in the ground,tin & all.

I like papaya:)
David, you may have answered tis in the past, but what has you down in the tropics?
Freedom, plus amazing agriculture.
How does agriculture compare there vs. temperate zones? Certainly different stuff! What about pests?
You can grow a massive amount of food here in less space, thanks to the abundance of root crops. You also never have a down season, other than when it's dry. If it's dry and you have irrigation, you can grow 365 days per year. There is a much larger variety of fruit trees as well.
What WON'T grow there? Can you grow wheat, for instance?
Green tombs up
My papayas grow from seed to 6 or seven ft. tall and have lots of fruit in one season here in central fl but all die in the cold.

Good luck. Sounds like you found a microclimate.
What part of central fl and when they die do they come back?
Can you give us an update please
I had 3 out of 5 papayas I transplanted die. They all got root rot. So I just transplanted another one and now I'm hardly watering it at all. Wish me luck

No thumbs down on this one yet, they must be on holiday. 👍
Ok so I’m in Roatan and they have noni fruit growing wild how do I know what f this stinky cheese fruit is ripe ? I wanna try it
It starts to turn from white to translucent gray-white when ripe. It's also soft, instead of hard.
hey david, where do you live?
Central America, non-disclosed location.
David would Noni grow in Central Florida (Kissimmee)?
I believe it's very cold sensitive; however, you could try it against a south-facing wall as I write about in Push the Zone (amzn.to/2oSxOSG), or perhaps put it in a big pot and wheel it in during any close-to-freezing or freezing events.
Thanks. I was in Rarotonga in the cook island and I was amazed at everything they do with the Noni. Thanks for the reply. Clement
Arrg, thar be Pirate Treasure! (I was hoping you'd find a bunch of gold coins LOL)
Did u ever find out what that wierd fruit was
Lol....the phonetic pronunciation of Oaxacan is (whoa-hawk-in).😁
Score on the cion
Your ants are fast as hell mine walk like an inch per minute. they must be eating the right cacti
What was the "real" reason y'all left Florida to go down there ??
Because I believe the US is going to fall apart.
@@davidthegood .... Yes Bible prophecy is showing that. I think the USA is the last days Babylon ! Good choice David !
It's possible. I take the Postmillenialist/Preterist view on Revelation and think Nero was the Antichrist, but I do think history obviously runs in cycles. The multicultural nature of the US now means there are multiple nations fighting for supremacy within the borders and that won't end well.
@@davidthegood True
The Kalergi Plan is what's going on.
you ATE noni?😬
We have those nasty prickly bushes here . I hate them. They can get really big and they pop up everywhere.

Gotta show a pic of the coin!!😟
What is nonee fruit not sure how to spell it😂
It's "noni" - a great little tree.
hate to tell you, but pawpaws and papayas are completely different trees, otherwise, good video
You don't have to tell me that. Common names differ from place to place. In the tropics, nobody knows anything about Asimina triloba.
No doubt. I forgot where you are are, I'm still new to your channel! I remember when we moved to Indiana from Mississippi, wondering why people kept talking about the "piney plants".

Yeah. If you don't have the Latin name, it can be tricky figuring out what in the world people are talking about.
Glad you have a sense of humor. I'm really enjoying your channel, and enjoy the fact that your kids are in the garden with you. I grew up that way, my kids did too, and now my grandkids.
wuh - HA - cun
As in from wuh - HA - ca
Don't make me tell you again!
I can't say that.
Ahhh, strawberry ants, aka crazy ants. They kill fire ants. But they are also an invasive species.
I'm trying to get rid of a noni tree. The fruit stinks like dirty socks baking in the sun.
You should try eating one. They are amazing.
Loosely related, acasia
Eww, you ate a noni! we used to throw those at each other as kids here in hawaii cuz of how disgusting they are. :P
