🌳🌳 Welcome to Mike's In The Garden! 🙌🙌
Hi, I'm Mike and its my MISSION to show you how easy it is to grow food!!
I've started my Food Forest on less than a .25 acre in Orlando, Florida! I've been documenting everything from when construction began summer of 2022 when all I had was a grass lawn, to now having over 40 different plants, fruit trees, vegetables, herbs & spices here in my Central Florida Food Forest!
This channel is designed to help educate myself and to show others what I'm growing and how I'm doing it, what grows well and what doesn't, as well as learn from others and their experiences.
I knew next to nothing about gardening and by learning about permaculture, watching others and actually going out and experimenting in my own yard, I want to share what I've learned to help others and continue to educate myself!
This channel will provide valuable information from many different individuals with backgrounds in permaculture and gardening. Most will have knowledge of growing in Central Florida and overall gardening practices in general.
My focus is on Permaculture and perennial plants that will keep producing year after year. I have many annuals as well and want to inspire and transfer this information to anyone that's interested.

Idk why but it’s funny how he’s just straight up eating his garden 😂 I’m just now starting mine I’m excited !!!!
It brings joy to my day! 🤣🤣
i'm glad you mention that a "weed" is useful to bring in pollinators.
we need to change our ideas of what a "weed " is and their importance.
thank you.
This was like watching a show from HGTV lol. It looks so different from when I was there last time, which wasn’t that long ago. Love the new additions, one of the BEST gardens out of anyone that I know. Always enjoy your content Mike!! 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼🔥
Aye! Thank you my friend 👊👊
awesome garden and vid!
🙌🙌🙌
You’re the GOAT man literally!!
Hahhahahah!!! The thing literally "Blue" UP! As fast as it moves, you could make it into some kind of "Porter" for your garden items. Wow, what a "Weed" that thing is! 🤠👍
Gardening is so much fun, stress relief and keeping your self useful and healthy. I also add a dove cage to my yard for collecting waste to the plants. ❤❤❤❤
Very impressive!
I’ve heard Florida Prince Peaches grow well in Florida weather.
Super cool garden bro , probably would wash stuff before I eat it tho, birds poop on plants , vultures are birds..
Love how u just be grubn on the leaves 🌞🙌🏾 appreciate ya sharing ya knowledge and experience 🕺🏽🏁
Thanks Buc! 🙌🙌
Peaches….UF Best, UF Sun, Floridaglo, tropic beauty, tropic snow and Florida prince are good producers for central Florida.
Figs….there are definitely varieties that do better in central Florida (even though you’re unsure of your variety) but for the most part the first crop or 2 of figs is not very good tasting. Once they establish themselves you’ll know what you have. Also, planting figs in Florida soil is not the greatest thing. They are really susceptible to too knot nematodes. I’ve had zero luck in Florida soil. Of course your soil may be and most likely is better than mine. I don’t like potting any trees/plants but figs are a must for me.
Great video. Love to see the garden again in the summer!
Awesome!! Thank you Scott 🙌🙌
Nice work!! 👍
Thank you!
The plant you found by the side of the road looks like my leaf of life. It's quick to spread.
That’s exactly what it is. Thank you! 🙌🙌
Moringa is very good to put it in chicken soup.😋
I checked the comments first but don't see this experience mentioned. With a tiny lot, it's better over the long run to choose a few really well-loved tree varieties and situate them carefully. Careful with planting close to fences, house etc. You might benefit from the work of YT Fruitful Trees. He's more to the South but started with lots of tress and has had to eliminate. I know it's hard to leave any out. Dwarf varieties can work but also can turn out to be full-sized.
I love Fruitful Trees! Have learned much from him. I’m kind of working with what I have and plan on keeping these “dwarf” size as best I can. My goal is to get stuff planted and growing!! Thanks for stopping by Charlotte! 🙌🙌
Love the shirt 😂that is exactly right.tfs.

Cool pool
I watch tons of videos from people growing things in FL and not one of them has mentioned the Japanese cherry tree. We have 2 and it fruits like crazy all summer. The only down side is that once they're ripe, you have to pick and eat them in the same day because they don't last. They're not sustainable but they're good. My hubby is diabetic and he can eat them.
That’s awesome! Never heard of the Japanese variety. Had a Jamaican cherry tree but it blew into the pool before I was able to get it in the ground and it never flourished after that. Thanks for sharing!
@@MikesInTheGarden that was supposed to say Jamaican, not Japanese. Lol sorry. Phone has a mind of it's own.
@@MikesInTheGarden ours took 2 years to produce. We got them when they were only about 2 feet tall but they grew fast. 2 years later they're 8 ft tall and both produced for several months. They're just starting to flower again so I'm hoping they produce again this year.
@@stacieransom5677 that’s awesome! I will get another one soon. They taste so good!
The blue plant is porter weed it reseeds, definitely attracts bees and pollinators.
You'll want to cut back that moringa before hurricane season as they are brittle and will snap in strong winds. Recommended height 4-5' or short enough to where you can easily cut it off.
Initially, pineapples take 2 years to fruit, then they fruit annually.
Thank you. Hopefully soon! Some are just over 2 years old and the plants are ginormous!!
Nice garden, but when you plant an ataulfo mango seed, you don't get ataulfo mango tree. The mango you get once the tree fruits will most likely taste nothing like ataulfo.
Damnit! I did learn later that I’ll need to graft on to get the variety I want. Hopefully soon I’ll have at least one or two varieties to graft. Thanks for sharing.
wow that's crazy, can you please explain why this is pls
I tried a hybrid peach tree specifically created for FL climate and it failed.
The purple bloom is “Blue Poterweed and is medicinal.
Thank you!
I had no idea it was medicinal! Butterflies definitely like it.
👍🏾🌿🌾🥬🍑🍉
How do you start your fruit trees from seeds
Trim that moringa to make it bushy
Can't hear you
Turn up the volume!
🤣
Clchewing food in my ear. Worse than people eating chips on online game chats.
I cant hear you
