Organic edible / ornamental gardening & environmental pursuits in central Florida and north Georgia. My wife & I have been together for over 25 years (high-school sweethearts), we have 3 kids, and live on central Florida's east coast. Our channel features organic gardening, nature, environmental, outdoor and homesteading based activities in both central Florida and north Georgia. We home-school our 3 boys and try to include them in everything we do- it makes everything more fun! Hope you enjoy our channel- thanks and take care out there!
Great video and to the point. I have been trying to decide as well. I love the fact that there are airbags for the rear occupants. Even though our kids are grown now they still will ride with us on long road trips. Safety is a must.
Thank you for saving these beautiful plants and cuttings and giving them new life and not being destroyed at the dump. I just think the whole process of them being compacted and dumped is so cruel.
We are good, we got very lucky. There were so many tornadoes all around us made it scary and dangerous for the people around us. We just have some cleanup and didn’t lose power. Thanks for reaching out! Hope you were out of Milton’s path
This wasn’t our area we live, but this was in South Georgia, when we were driving out of Milton back to north Georgia we drove through so many damaged properties and down trees. People without power too since Helene.
It truly is- the devastation in western North Carolina is unbelievable as well. We have property in the western most part of NC- we were spared but the Asheville area was just decimated...
This I why I like our concrete monolithic dome earthship. I suppose a tornado could hoover everything out of it if it was a direct hit, but probably not. We have so many close calls from that here. Should make monolithic bermed construction the norm in storm prone areas.
Thanks for the well wishes! We made it out- it was a 13 hr drive though. We’re safe now and have our fingers crossed for all of the west coast Floridians.
Hey guys, from West Coast FL Tampa Bay Area North. We're staying. We have too many pets, the chickens, the budgie birds and the dog. Our friend we could have stayed with is in North Carolina so they're recovering from Helene. We're battening down our windows with plywood and trusting the Lord to get our little Noah's Ark through this. Glad you guys have a place in Georgia.
Hopefully you guys won’t get any surge from this, praying for you guys and praying for Florida. Driving up today we saw so much destruction in South Georgia from Helene. Must have been a good bit of tornadoes that touched down
@@IslandsnHighlands Thanks. We will be keeping an eye on the radar. We have one of those little Noaa radios too. We just finished getting all the chickens packed up and putting our truck at a friends house since we can only fit our one jeep in the small garage we have. I might post a video of what we have done. I did post one a few days ago of my chickens and my dog Olive running around with them. Thank you for the prayers. Means a lot. We've got you and your family in ours too. Yeah some places got it so bad like North Carolina.
Sorry, we need to start putting more planting videos together. These babies will root just laying on the ground! They are so easy to root-just stick in the ground or a pot and you should be good to go!
I moved to Melbourne from Colorado last October. This is the first hurricane I've had to prepare for. I started putting my panels up yesterday, but I still have the second story to install. Stay safe.
Sad to see how Florida is being affected by the hurricanes. Stay safe you all. I think you live on the south east Florida? How is the forecast says for your area?
We're just south of the Cape on the east coast- we currently are under a Hurricane watch with a 2'-4' storm surge warning. Not nearly as bad as the Tampa area on the west coast..
@@IslandsnHighlandsvery cool, I’m just a little north with my miniature version of your garden. In Titusville. Had been looking for people near my area to learn from and it’s great to have your channel! I do believe this is my first comment on the channel. It will be interesting to see what happens since my 14’+ Blue Java got beat up in the one two weeks ago, not to mention the fruit! Stay safe guys loved the video!
@@IslandsnHighlands Banana Tree can be saved by this method. We use this technique back in my country. Place a long, thick stick (v shape at the top)firmly into the ground next to the banana tree, securing it tightly to the tree using a rope or stick alone should work. This method can help protect the banana tree during storms to a certain extent.
Good luck guys. Your garden is so beautiful I hope you don’t get too much damage. Most of your plants will regrow anyway, especially the banana trees. I heard it’s going to turn slightly south before landfall and quickly turn to cat 2 lasting about 12 hrs all up.
