Thank you for no background music. Nature’s sounds are better 😊
I'm a master gardener...65 years old. That was one of the best videos I've ever seen. Need to talk to you about seminole pumpkin....there are so many out there that are not true to farm and must have cross pollinated with something else m I need some seed fast! It's time to plant! THANKS. Great job !
West Central Florida....Port Richey...by the way.
Thanks for the tips. I'm a 5th generation Florida native I have been around growing vegetables and fruits most my 70years. They're things you were saying about all the different greens I had never heard before you can bet I will be trying soon. I do love my greens. 😊
wow thats saying something! glad it is helpful and you got a few nuggets from it.
I am gonna try your sweet potato method by buriring the vine.thamks
I have been growing my collard greens since 1999 from a bunch of greens 🥬 I bought in thanksgiving, my plant grew to over six feet tall and just as wide and I got baby ones on the side of the stalk and I just replant them for more collard greens 🥬
Had a rough fall last year, so I pretty much let everything go wild. My eggplant as well, even though it was potted. Came up with green leaves this spring, watered and fed it, now it's looking good with an eggplant already growing!
I've let my Tromboncino squash spread out. I just did not have anything handy to have it run up. It has done just what you said. The old parts look terrible, but the ends of the vines look great. It also provides shade and cover to that bed, so not as many weeds in there. Best happy accident!
I just can’t thank you enough!! You are so knowledgeable and share your expertise so perfectly. THANK YOU
You are so welcome!
Can't wait to try growing sweet potatoes this summer. My boyfriend is going to be so excited to hear they grow well! Thanks so much for this list. Gives me a tons of new ideas.
You are so welcome! Have fun!
I'm a Florida local and I bought a bunch of your seeds. Great video
Thanks for your support!
Yes girl. I diagram every season out based on what my family eats. I forgot okra this year. I love planting edamame after corn on a rotation.
That’s a neat idea about burying the sweet potato vine! I’m definitely trying that.
yes, works like a charm.
You are the first person I have ever seen eat radish pods. I first tried them about 30 years ago and I have always wondered why no one else ever seems interested in them.
lol guess im open to try new things. have to work with the seasons rather than fight them!
Thank you! I’ve started a few things. I’ve succeeded and failed. Your video is so helpful.
Golden Hubbard winter squash did incredibly well in my North Fl garden. Close to 250 lbs from 4 plants and if it wasn’t for the freeze, I think they would have given me one more round. It took a little while to get it going, after 2 months, it had overtaken an unused area and pathways.
they are prolific arent they?! winter squash are amazing!
I love your channel! You provide such comprehensive information without rambling on with a bunch of fluff. I never have to watch you sped up. Thank you ❤
I'm so glad! Try my best : )
I loved the rat tail radish I grew last year.
It was wonderful for you!
Fantastic video! You're such an amazing resource for Florida Gardner's. Tip 2 was also super helpful!
Glad it was helpful!
I found a florida native collard green on southern exposure seed exchange. It's called variegated collards
I've grown them, they do well for me. give them a try!
Great video, thanks. I'm in Houston, always looking for new ideas. Thank you for the okra suggestion in particular; I'll check out Burmese.
One thing I would add is Perpetual Spinach, aka perpetual chard. It's fine from 110F-18F in Houston. Super productive and can replace spinach and celery. Container friendly and idiot proof.
In zone 10b south Florida, our summers are brutal here. Thank you so much for the info! Visiting your seed shop shortly! 👩🌾🌱🥬🥗🌼
wonderful!
Being plantita is so much fun🙂 I like sweet potato too hoping to gain more harvest in my yard just like yours🥰
Excellent list for practical food growing in the Florida heat! Definitely sharing!
I started my garden this year and hopefully it will give me tons of harvest. 🤭 Thank you for the tips and tricks! 🤗
I hope so too! You bet.
How has it been going?
Thanks for the ideas! It gets so hot here I don't like going outside even. It's great that some plants can make it.
Yes plenty can. Ill be posting a cover crop video here within the month. If your not subscribed to the channel do so you can get the alert!
We have such a unique zone thank you much.
i wasnt able to start seeds or plant much this spring... and i was planning on leaving the garden bare this summer.. im in tampa. but this came out at the right time! thanks so much, im going to start on my summer garden asap! :D
You can do it!
Nice presentation! You introduced at couple veggies that I have not ever grown before, specifically the Rat Tail Radishes and the Chinese beans. Since Jackson, MS is in zone 8 b, I may give them a try this summer. Thanks for sharing your gardening tips!
Glad it was helpful!
Great list! I also grow peanuts, tropical yams, boniato and Taro (malanga and yautia)
Very nice! I keep saying Im going to do peanuts... one of these years : )
@@TheUrbanHarvest once you plant peanuts you will always have peanuts 😂
@@CristalMermaid just like sweet potatoes!
@@TheUrbanHarvest that’s right
I’m trying peanuts this year!
this is my favorite youtube channel. i’m so happy i found you!!!
We started our first garden this year in N FL zone 8. You are an awesome resource for growing food! ❤❤ Thank you!
That is awesome! Happy to hear it.
I had to pause a little trying to Picture the Outcome, When You Spoke of Tons of this, or Tons of that.
A Ton of Sweet Potatoes Piled High in a Corner of the Garden,
Was a Cute Picture in My Thoughts.
All Joking Aside, You Produced a Great Video, Facts from Experience, Right Down to Bee Observation, Shifting Planting Positions for Pollination.

You Rock.
Glad it was helpful!
There is a japanese dwarf eggplant I love
Thanks for this fast paced video.
I just planted watermelon, tomatoes, peppers, & lettuce. Whoops. 😂
lol its all a learning process. Depending on sun the tomatoes may make it. you should be ok on pepper and watermelon. Do you have my what to plant when cheat sheet? www.theurbanharvest.com/gardening-equipment/
My growing climate is completely different from yours but I love your growing ideas. They are applicable anywhere. And I'm curious to learn about growing in hotter climates. I never knew eggplants are perennial!
yes, i did a whole video on it. im glad its been hekpful!
How I can get a seat I want to buy the deceit the Indian Spanish
Thank you for a great video and some great information
Glad you enjoyed it
Nice,,,👍
Thanks
👍👍👍 The Urban Harvest - Homegrown Education

Just placed an order for the hotter weather seeds I could find on your site....historic heatwave here northern middle Tennessee....Farmers Almanac didn't even predict this. Thank you.....
I just bought Egyptian Spinach, Thai Roselle and Amaranth based on a previous video of yours on this subject. I am really benefiting from the recommendations on Summer/year round gardening here in zone 9/10. Thank you!
Collards do great
Wow. I love the video straight and simple. I guess u r in St. Augustine. I moved to St. John’s last year and started bit of gardening. Do u have nursery in St. Augustine
This. Video. Is. AWESOME!!!
Where did you find the beautiful planter pots? Thank you.
Hi, Iove your channel and tips! I am in South Florida. I've tried growing some things without much success... mostly because of the bugs, powdery mildew and lack of knowledge. I want to keep trying. Could you please tell me everything you would start w if you were gardening in this area. Any suggestions on your classes for beginners? Thank you
Dang...! What where that ONE thing we need to know at the end there?
Now you got me in a mystery...!
9A Ocala. Lub yz..! Subbed
More great tips. Thank you!
You bet!
That's what I've always done .... 1st of year, plant potatoes and greens and onions. Then a spring garden of tomatoes and cucumbers and peppers. In June, all is done and I wait for august/September for fall garden. A couple times I forfeit a fall garden for watermelon. I would like to grow year-round. Part if the problem I find is I don't eat okra, winter squash or eggplant and I don't grow beans ... I buy dry beans and peas. I'm all ears hoping you tell me some good new info.
great tip for growing sweet potatoes. cheers from Australia. 😊
Glad it was helpful!
Nice tip on the crab meal, thanks! 👍
great!
Great video - you have some very different vegetables you are focusing on in comparison to what's possible in the Uk. We just don't have the climate out here for some of these vegetables
growing what is best suited to your area is the way to go! so much less maintenance and higher yields!
During this video when you are talking about the Seminole pumpkins, what is the shrub/ small tree beside you? It has big (pot-looking) leaves lol
I have that same plant but don’t know the name. Thank you
I'm fairly new to gardening. But so far so good. Talking about the Pea and Bean Booster. I already planted my black eyes, PR black beans, cowpeas, conk and zipper peas. Can I add that once they come up? Will that help or is it to late?
yes it would likely still help. scratch the surface a bit and sprinkle it in then cover back up. but it will produce without, yields just might be a bit lower.
Very informative 👏 👌 👍
Great!
@@TheUrbanHarvest 🤗🤗🤗
Great video! Being from Southern California (Orange County) where we can pretty much grow anything in a home garden I have often wondered what goes well in Florida during the spring and summer with your daily deluges of rain and often very strong thunder storms. We have been to Disney World several times during the summer so I know what they can be like.
Although you did not put these in your video, how to the typical summer crops (tomatoes, cucumbers, zucchini, corn, pole beans, strawberries, etc) all hold up out there? With all that rain I would think the roots would just get waterlogged to the point or causing disease, fungus and rot. - Can you grow these types of crops at all? And if so do you need to put them in containers so the excess water drains freely away, and/or do you need to use well-drained soil such as cactus mix?
Again - great video (I just searched for what kind of vegetables home gardeners can grow in Florida and yours was one that came up). A couple of the gardening channels I regularly watch on YT is “Garden Answer” - they are located on the Oregon/Idaho border and are about a Zone 5 but actually have similar summer weather to So. Calif. being that are of Oregon is considered a “high desert. And the other channel I watch is “Epic Gardening” who are located near me in San Diego, so a Zone 10b or 11.
we grow those crops in fall to spring here!
Thanks so much for your very informative and helpful video. Do you have a video demonstrating how to wind up the sweet potato vine?
Glad you found it helpful! With the sweet potato vine I recommend burying it to promote more root growth, just make sure to leave the leaves exposed!
Hi, this is great infor. I wonder if these crops would do well in south florida. So far, i have sweet potato, carrots, celery, and some herbs growing. I didn't have much luck last year with my squash and cucumber in the summer (too many aphids and caterpillars) so I wonder how do you deal with those pests. Thank you. Love the channel.
I have a video here that explains it: ruclips.net/video/2izmpVV2lvE/видео.html
Great tips but I have my garden in a screened in porch in South Florida. What tips do you have specific to my type of garden? Could you make a video about this garden type,? Thanks so much,!😀🌻🌳
Aside from hand pollinating its not much different but it is a topic that is requested so Ill try to get something on the calendar about it.
Wow!! That was so helpful!!
I am new to Florida and living in Fort Myers. I love growing vegetables and herbs. But I have to learn what grows that’s here. I want to grow tomatoes, but it will be under my lanai so I won’t have access to the bees and I will be growing lots of basil, but I’m getting nicks information on. I’m told by one gardener it should be in the shade and another that it should be in the sun. Can you help me? I would appreciate it. Thanks for sharing.
With sweet potatoes, When you wind the vine up, you theoretically cover up the old leaves correct? Sorry for all the questions ,but hopefully it will promote your page.
I have a video on sweet potato planting tips: ruclips.net/video/Ibg7_1sm67E/видео.html
Like always you are great. Thanks for the help.
Always welcome
Excellent thank you
Glad it was helpful!
Which of these can't be grown in a container? I don't have beds made yet. Especially Egyptian spinach. I got seeds, but I don't know if I can plant in a container due to the tap root. If not, what can I do in my Florida garden to plant without a prepared bed.
Hi, Do then need my luffa to be planted where they can be pollinated? Can I pollinate them myself? have you posted about iguanas? Will they eat potato vines. In Sanibel they are a big problem.
Outstanding
Would I be able to grow sweet potatoe and radish in the same plant bed?
Love all of these suggestions and I didn’t know that eggplant are perennials! Any suggestions on powdery mildew on squash and cukes? I’ve been hand watering and so fa so good, but every summer powdery mildew decimates my cucumber and squash!
I need vine vegetables or fruits that will grow good here in Southwest Florida Zone 9B; to cover my chain link fence for privacy and at the same time create food. Please give me recommendations. In loving kindness, Bonnie
Thanks for sharing 🙏 😎 🏖 🏝
My pleasure!!
Sorry if I missed this. In what part of FL are you? I've lived in Central, South, and North and the climates are different.
Nice video ... first timer as for Florida gardening (zone 9a) I have been leary with the use of fish fertilizer due to the fear of animals digging up my plants ... have you experienced this ?
never had any issues with it myself no. But my friends dog is so sensitive to it and bone meal they cant even consider it. So I suppose it depends...
I’m in zone 10b. Will these all live through my summer heat? Thanks
What part of Florida are you in? Or what zone? Great video.
9b/10a. St Pete.
FANTASTIC video and I’am so happy I have planted a few of these on the list. Question, I have okra growing for the first time and I’m wondering if each plant produces one or several okra fruits? I’m definitely buying some of your seeds too…..thank you for your most helpful and informative advice. 💐
oh lots of okra per plant usually only 1-3 a day but once it starts producing you will have that almost every day. I usually harvest whats ready each day for a week or so and store them in the fridge then cook them up once I have enough.
@@TheUrbanHarvest that’s Fantastic….I love everything as far as veggies/fruits go but have only eaten it a couple of times. I’ve heard it’s super nutritious too and for that reason alone can’t wait to implement it into my diet. Thank you so much for your detailed response, it is much appreciated🥰
I'm wondering why your rattail radish pods look like the seed pods from my mustard greens. I bet they are related
Great videos overall but this one cut off at the end. 😭
Does the pickle worm infest Seminole pumpkins, if so, is there a pumpkin we can grow that is more resistant? I am ripping out pickle worm infested Howden pumpkins. 😢
I have one question I got some beans from you Puerto Rican black beans did not sow yet and then will get some of the whipoorwill cow peas, my question is with all the rain we are getting in South Florida would you advise still sowing the seed now? Maybe in covered area? I did just plant some peppers I also got from you finally this past weekend but man all of my garden is naturally taken on some serious rain so kept them under covered part. Thank you for all the information you bring to your channel and thus to us!!!! I have learned a lot.
Yes you can still sow. If your concerned about them rotting before germination you can plant them in starter pots and transplant as soon as they get their true leaves.
From which climate zone are you instructing from?
Are the radish seeds then to sprout? Do you have videos on how to grow seeds for sprouting? If you do please share or create one. I will share on the sprouting pages i am active on. I think sprouting will be key to survival. I was thinking about amaranth and sprouting the seeds.
I prefer micro greens to sprouts and have a full one hour class on why and how to… ruclips.net/video/VZNfHep0QY8/видео.html
From what climate zone are you instructing from?
Awesome!,
Thank you! Cheers!
I bought some of those numex peppers from the Saturday Market in St. Pete, and they were amazing. Any chance you'll get more of those seeds in stock on your site in the near future? Or the Puerto Rican black beans?
My Everglades tomatoes are starting so slow. I planted the seeds in a tray three weeks ago.
And they are still only 2” high. I pay attention to the watering needs. Not to much or little.
And they look healthy but are tiny.
Any ideas? Thank you.
I started my everglades tomatoes back in January then in March is when you want to plant them out when you see temperatures in the 60 to 70 degrees, my two plants are huge with a ton of fruit, just give them time they will grow they love the heat.
Would what you’re suggesting work in South Florida? West Palm Beach/Lake Worth
Thank you for the information! I'm in NE FL zone 9a and a novice gardener. I've found that there are only a handful of YT channels that understand & speak to the unique challenges of gardening in FL's heat and humidity. Was surprised to see okra in a Greenstalk planter! I thought the olants would be so large -- in excess of 5 feet tall -- that they'd never produce in a small container. Do you keep them in the Greenstalk, then transplant them into the garden? Do you provide a certain amount of hours in the shade for your summer vegetable plants?
I wish I knew where to start…always worried about plant foods or fertilizers being toxic. How do you learn what is safe ?
Can you grow Avocados in Florida
Definitely
Such a wonderfully large amount of options! Would it be too late to start the mid-May? (I'm moving next month.)
Most of them yes you can. Ive got a what to plant when cheat sheet by month which will help guide you: www.theurbanharvest.com/gardening-equipment/
@@TheUrbanHarvest yay, thank you!!
I just received seeds for Suave Numex and Aji Dulce peppers I ordered from you… I’m an hour south of you… is it too late to plant them or should I wait until August or so? Thanks!
You can in pots so they can get a bit of protection from afternoon heat and attentive watering.
Hi again! Circling back to this video As I’ve now created and prepped more real estate and raised beds. Is it too late here mid June to direct sow any of these crops you mentioned? My beds are in direct sun all day. Do you have any recommendations about shade while they are germinating and or at a young stage? Is that something that I should be concerned with? Thanks I hope to seed in a day or two - Definitely more okra as I harvested my first pod yesterday and it was absolutely delicious! Yay! Edit - I am in Southwest Florida in Lehigh acres which is just east of Fort Myers. I think we’re technically south Florida more than central, lol!
I LOVE your shirt! Where is it from?! I need one ASAP 😁
I got it years ago, honestly cant even remember where. sorry!
Wait… what is the one thing I need to know?!? Looks like the upload or YT got weird at the end. Thanks for the list! I’m excited to try those Puerto Rican black beans I got from you and I had bought some Luffa based on your suggestion last year or the year before! Question on Egyptian spinach… what is the flavor profile? Similar to baby spinach/spinach? And what about texture? Thanks!
i think you will love the beans. I just did a video on egyptian spinach which should touch on that: ruclips.net/video/SrDdtmmDQDE/видео.html
I just watched! I’ll be ordering some seeds from ya in a minute! Thanks!
❤
My garden was a disaster last year..... what can I do now to get ready.....I live in Inverness, FL
Fertilizing your soil now with compost is a good start to enrich your beds that way your soil is enriched. You can start tomatoes now too those are in season!
Does the inoculant for cow peas affect to soil if you reuse the soil for other plants?
Only beneficial as the nitrogen and soil life the peas/bacteria provided help to nourish the next round of plants. They are naturally occurring we just added extra : )
