Really good list. Thanks for all your videos they gave me the push to start my tomato and pepper seeds this week. I was feeling a little burned out with all the pests, diseases and heat but now I am slowly starting to get on top of it 🎉
Killer growing skills with a dope garden that backs it up! Official first summer season under my belt and more success stories with your help. Keep up the great work!
I've been growing Long Island Cheese pumpkins earlier in the year and despite some worm pressure, they've been exploding. Now for my fall garden I'm growing Seminole pumpkins, more Long Islands, and as a test, Connecticut Field pumpkins that I will monitor heavily from pest pressure. Wish me luck on that one lol
New subbie. I’ve been having a time with my brassicas in this heat. I started them indoors and have been putting them outside for a few hours on my screened porch but even that it’s way too hot. I ordered covers to cover them. Amazing video. Thank you so much!
Thanks for subscribing! I just did a live garden class all about how to grow brassicas in warmer climates. You can find it in the live section of my channel.
Hi Jerra! I’m loving all your info! Thank you! I’d like to polarize one of my raised bed garden spaces before I transplant in Sept / Oct. I purchased your recommended husky plastic sheeting wondering if you have a video on how to properly put this down? I’m in FL 10a zone. Is it as simple as laying down and pinning or stapling around the wood slabs? Than you!
Hi. I took a weed eater to clear out the taller grasses and weeds in the area and then laid the plastic sheets down over it all. I used the extra long landscape hooks to keep it down on all the edges. Can also place heavy items around the edges to keep it down. I will have to make a video soon.
I have started some Malabar spinach from the seeds of my mature red stemmed Malabar vine plant, they are growing fast. I'm wondering if you have any recipes for them? So far I have tried them by first cooking up some bacon, removing bacon and then cooking the onion and Malabar leaves in the bacon grease, removed it, and added all three things to things like eggs, or potatoes. I enjoyed it but I'd like more things to do with it.
I harvest the leaves when they are very young and small to toss with some other greens to make a salad. Or I have sautéed with kale and mixed that together with diced up roasted butternut squash and roasted pepitas for crunch.
I dont really pay attention to N S E W....lol I just plant according to sunlight requirements. Study your garden space to see what spots get full sun or partial shade etc.... I have the Thai Lavender Frog eggplants planted in full sun.
Hi. I only recommend using heat mats with the warm weather crops. If your sowing outdoors, and its very hot like it is now, the warm weather crops don't need more heat from a heat mat to germinate quickly. Usually I use heat mats when I sow seeds for warm weather crops in doors during the winter.
I have a yellow Jamaican strawberry tree but at the present time, I don't have seeds or plants for it on my website. It is normally propagated thru cuttings. I will some day though ☺
