Thanks, very helpful
Thank you for the list!
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!
So true!!!! You are doing awesome!
This is why I love bonsai. Every tree tells a story
Roselle ( florida cranberry) . It grows like crazy. You can make teas, jams and cranberry sauce. It has more vitamin C than citrus. Very healthy. I'm in 9a/10a they grow in full sun but die in the winter.
Marmalade recipe pretty please! The one and only time I made it, it set way too hard! And I am a chef. 🙄 I love to make a Calomondin meringue pie. I just follow lemon meringue pie recipe however I put little strips of the Calamondin skin in the filling so you get a little bites of it. OMG it is the most delicious thing ever!
If you have room, check out:
Achachairu
Atemoya (best fruit I've had)
Lychee
Longan
Custard apple (annona reticulata) San Pablo from Lara farms
Mango (k3/Kathy)
Papaya (solo)
Tampa tropical asian nursery. It has a ton of great fruit trees if you're looking for good stuff
Love the videos!
I agree with the Atemoya (sugar apple) one of my favorite crops
Why did you like Atemoya so much? Have some unused space in the back of my property on the Space Coast and I’m looking to plant some fruiting trees
I consider myself as a seasoned gardener, but I am always learning something new from you, especially pertaining to Southwest Fl. Thank you so much.
Yay! That's great! I'm glad I gave some new ideas! 🥰
Cranberry Hibiscus flowers make the best tea! I dehydrate them. And they leaves have a great cranberry flavor and are great on a salad! Also Borage! The young leaves and flowers taste like cucumber!
We call the ajise pepper ají cachucha. That plant survived through the hurricane here in Sarasota. It is currently blooming, which is blowing my mind
Thank you so much!!! I learn so much from you and you are so funny 😊
Great content as usual. I definitely need to plant more things to attract native bees this year.
Native Porterweed really attracts bees and butterflies -- and it's everblooming. The bumble bees really love it.
Yay! That makes me so happy! You should get native bees!
Yes, native porterweed is great for the native bees!
@@WildFloridian I have it! Haha. I sometimes forget what I have!
Great list of favorites - thank you
Glad you enjoyed!
This is awesome !! I am currently trying to get a food forest going here in Bunnell zone 9a which is proving more difficult than I thought. So far only plants that seem to enjoy my sandy soil is Barbados cherry, fig, and banana… I really want more things but some plants are so finicky !
Mulberries are super easy and so good!
Try Persimmons, Pomegranate and Citrus as well. I live in zone 9a as well but I'm more central, Bunnell is more coastal so the soil is definitely more sandier in your area
Thank you! It takes time to convert sandy soil to something most edible plants like. Keep going! 😄
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
Funny im English, living in Massachusetts, moving to Florida and hoping to have some tropical fruit, so I’ll definitely try making some marmalade out of those ❤
I wasn’t sure if you’re related someone who is Filipino because we put Calamansi/Calamondin on sauces and lemonade.
I always have questions I wish I could ask you! Lol.. For now.. How do you deal with mosquitos in your yard? I mean, it's Florida.. There are mosquitos, right? The last few days I've been eaten alive!
Peppermint oil is a game changer for keeping the mosquitoes off. Plus it is amazing when fighting nausea and stomach aches too!!!
I live in Central Florida semi-retired would like to grow more fruits and vegetables in my yard I need ideas on things to grow and how to keep them growing
Wow thank you
You’re welcome 😊
Persian Lime, for sure. Great list!
Good choice!
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.
Where can I buy Seminole pumpkin seeds so I can try it
You need the Thai or Bryce's World's Best style mulberry. Super prolific! Way more prolific than my White mulberry. I prune after every harvest and get more in 2 months. Quarts.
What part of central Florida are you in. I’ve tried 5 different citrus and all have eventually died or were killed by frost. Finally got our first banana flower.
St. Pete
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).
Living in Oregon. Never heard of that first tree you mentioned. I found it spelled I hope correctly, in a comment block.
Calamondin, or calamansi.
Oregon! That's my husband Ben's stomping ground! I may have spelled it incorrectly. Calamondin or calamansi.
Which, by the way, I now want to try growing! I found a few places that ship them, Carol. I'm in Central Florida so hope to find one at the large nursery near me. Maybe my Christmas present to myself! :)
Calamondin Tree took me a few minutes to find. In the future if possible can you please put the difficult names in the description. :) Calamondin sounds great, especially because any orange tree pests shouldn't be able to target them, right? Haha I'm adding them to my list!
Citrus pests attack all Citrus. Calamondin is a Citrus (a hybrid of a kumquat and a sour mandarin orange).
When do you plant your bananas?
Spring and summer in general. But I live in zone 10a.
My everglades tomatoes are refusing to grow...😅😅 like 2 months trying and they are tiny and nothing happens 😐😐 got florida seeds from online
I loved growing the PR Black Beans this year too! I had some trouble with something (mice?) eating the beans out of the pod right before they were ready to harvest! Ugg! Did you deal with that too?
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.
@@WildFloridian Thanks for the help!
I’m in Central Florida and moving to new property that has no fruit trees or flowers so I’m wondering if anyone has any small seedlings in that category. Thank you.
Relatively few fruit come true from seed.
Thanks, thanks for these videos!!!
Do the carpenter bees make nests in the eves of your house? We had quite a few holes, maybe at least 10 plus, in the eves of the house from carpenter bees this spring. Ugg. Not good. I wanted them to stay in the garden!! Any ideas on how to control this?
Paint?
1st!
🎄🦩🥇
Hi! @wildfloridian !! I live in St pete, new to the area, any local nursery recommendation to get these fruit trees/ bushes?, thank you 🙏
For Tropical Plants, I use Jene's Tropicals. For the veggies, you can use Wilcox or Urban Harvest. Native Plants... Wilcox and Little Red Wagon
@@WildFloridian thank you!!
I really want to plant a calomondin now! Do you do anything about citrus greening disease with these? Thanks! 🎄
Apparently planting citrus trees near oak trees or under the understory of oaks reduces the chance of citrus greening
@@Eryalb Wow, this is great news, thanks!
@@MaryPothoven You're welcome!
👍🦩🦩❤🙏
Where can I get a calamondine 🌳
You can find them at many Home Depots or Lowe's or tropical nurseries.
@@WildFloridian thank you!
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).
Soooo, I have this banana tree that always blooms this time of the year and it always freezes. We have been in this house over 28 years and I have NEVERRRR harvested bananas from this tree. Like clockwork it is blooming now. What can I do to ensure it does not die and this bunch grows to maturity?. Thanks!
Which gardening zone do you garden in? I am in Central Florida, zone9a. Our bananas produce tons of bananas. We have them growing in somewhat sheltered locations, two bunches by the house, one under a tree and surrounded with bushes near the base.
@@MaryPothoven I am in 9b. The plants are next to the house. I have no trees in my yard. Hoping my plantain will do better.
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
@@duckyloves4202 it's not tall at all right now because every year it freezes and comes back. It produces but so late in the year it freezes, so I've never been able to harvest any. Thanks for the sprinkler tip.
Your banana plant should be having pups. Once the plant produces a bunch of fruit it needs to be cut down. The pups will then take the lead.
bee balm, not bees balm
Thanks
In the North, we call it "horsemint" or "thymol plant," because we reserve "beebalm" mostly for Monarda didyma and it's hybrids.
This would be better if you showed the plants
Do you have problems with rats?
An outside cat has wiped out rodent problems for us. 🐱😊
No, we have rats in the neighborhood, but agree with Mary, there are outdoor cats around. So i don't see any evidence of significant rat activity.
In FL, rodents usually attract corn snakes and other predators, solving the problem. Rats tend to be an issue in environmental disasters like megacities, especially up north.
Marmalade recipe pretty please! The one and only time I made it, it set way too hard! And I am a chef. 🙄 I love to make a Calomondin meringue pie. I just follow lemon meringue pie recipe however I put little strips of the Calamondin skin in the filling so you get a little bites of it. OMG it is the most delicious thing ever!
Yes, would love more details on the calamondin marmalade.
