    Isn't this like asking which is your favorite child? As a newbie growing in containers, I love anything that survives and gives me SOMETHING, even if it is just a story, to show for my efforts.
    So encouraged by becoming self-sufficient in green onions and ginger, I have recently branched out into garlic, chives, and latest baby: Egyptian Walking Onions. I also love basil, rosemary, sage, etc.; they take up no room, need little attention, add tons of flavor to meals, and the convenience!
    Bananas and papayas are such fun because they grow so fast, and love those garden snacks of Everglades tomatoes. My dog is a fan of home-grown greens, and will nibble off any leaves that she can get her nose into.
    Love your videos, they keep me going out there!

      Any fig tips? I’ve got two in pots because I’ve heard that they don’t do well in the ground because of nematodes here in Florida, but they aren’t doing well in pots either!! I’ve got an Italian everbearing and a Celeste, and neither have shown any promise, and are so scraggly looking. Just long stems with a tuft of leaves at the end. SMH

      @Eliza I know multiple people with figs in North Central Florida and they are thriving. Mine are small and still getting established. Give them lots of sun and water a bit at first. After that they basically take care of themselves. You can put mulch or compost around the base every once in a while as fertilizer

    • @erikjohnson9223
      @erikjohnson9223 8 месяцев назад

      For extreme South Florida. Not hardy. For those further north, calamondin or "red lime" (a kumquat X Rangpur hybrid), or even limequat would be wiser. I also like Yuzu but it is hard to source. All are Citrus and could be destroyed by HuaLongBing (Citrus greening). Ogechee lime (Nyssa ogeche, source of famed tupelo honey) might be a sour substitute for wetlands in North Florida, though it is dioecious so not good for small properties. Probably many tart fruit for South Florida, but the zest is hard to substitute outside of the Citrus family.

    • @erikjohnson9223
      @erikjohnson9223 8 месяцев назад +1

      HuaLongBing (greening) is the more serious concern. Plant varieties intended for North Florida (kumquats, calamondin, red lime, Owari and other Satsumas, possibly Meyer lemon) and frost will seldom be a problem. Turn your sprinklers on under the trees when severe frost (under 22F) is predicted. Water releases heat as it freezes (physics, but don't try this in long winter areas: too much ice will break branches).

      I didn't! That's sounds awful. You can harvest on the early end before they dry and let them dry inside. This can help get rid of the mice since you are taking away their food source. Could also be caterpillars... Long Tailed skippers host on bean plants.

      If you are in a Citrus state, quarantines mean you need need to buy within your own state. I used to live in FL and know Just Fruits and Exotics sells them mail order if they aren't available locally. One Green World and some other places (pricey but wide selection nurseries, often in the PNW) will ship to states that don't have a Citrus industry. Don't know for other Citrus states (CA, AZ, TX, LA, possibly MI, GA, and AL).

      If that banana has been there that long and not produced it may be sterile so you will have the look but not the fruit, but if you think it is a freezing issue I would wrap/ cover the plant if you can. If it is too tall on the nights it’s calling for freezing temps run your sprinkler on it and it will prevent it from freezing. Best of luck happy gardening
