Putting YOUR garden to BED for Winter?!? | Florida Winter Garden Tour 2021 

Very very true, here in CA too! I randomly began to do wild flower planting for winter. And I'm still waiting on the winter tomatos, and the cabbage -mainly for the butterflies, and the Mexican sunflowers!!

Oh yeah!!!! The wonderful birds have gifted me with some PineApple sage too. They get giant, and the red is sooo beautiful especially with a Passiflora vine behind it.

I am new to your channel and I am loving what I am seeing. I never really put much thought into growing plants native to my area in Florida. The information that you give is very helpful. Thank you.

After watching your video, I feel the urge to jump out of bed and tell my garden good morning. Have a great day from Merritt Island.

I totally get what you mean about the cold this year! Here in south FL we’ve been waking up to 60 degrees on the morning and in the 70s late afternoon. So strange! Last year December we didn’t have any cold. The winter for us was for a week in February 🤣🤣🤣

Enjoyed the tour you gave me new ideas for my garden. Chuckled at the snake comment I've been there before. 🌱🌱🌱

I love your beautiful garden. Just wanted to mention that goldenrod is such a great plant that has so many uses. I dry it for making tea and I make a tincture with the fresh leaves that can be used for medicinal purposes.

Looking forward to your canning channel.. I love canning! Hello from southern Florida zone 10b. 👋

Bunnies also love raised beds, they eat my brassicas from raised beds and bypass red lettuce grown on the ground

I would love for my mulberry to look like yours! It is so lovely! I kept seeing yours from your mulberry video and suspected something else was wrong with mine. Not sure if it was nematodes, virus (according to my father in law) or some kind of soil deficiency. I removed and disposed of all the dead leaves, amended the soil with Biotone, and planted some Marigolds (there have been several experimental studies showing their use as deterrents for nematodes). Finally this week I saw new growth! I hope we are on the mend.

Its nice in the north. Sometimes we need a break. Lol

You are ONE early riser! We’re enjoying some fresh satsuma juice this morning.

That flower at 24:30 !!!what's the name, pleaseeee? I think it starts with an S. Does it bloom year round? . It's so beautiful!!!. Thank you very much 🙏❤☺👍🌻 Lovely yard❤❤❤🥰🥰🥰

I just bought some dune sunflowers, excited to get them planted 🌻

Sluggo? -for the pumpkin

I've never been able to grow Seminole pumpkin in the winter. They always die. They do better for me when I direct start them in March and grow them through the spring and summer. I'm in 10b (West Palm Beach).

I love your videos, and just subscribed today. Quick question... I live in NW Florida, is it a bad idea to try and grow Okra this time of the year? Thanks, and hope to see lots more videos from you!

Great video update! Have you ever used the dwarf yaupon hedge that your dune sunflowers are growing on (or another yaupon) to make yaupon tea at home? I've made it before and the process is pretty easy, just want to see if anyone else has had success. I've also been buying some from a company in Florida already prepped and bagged (Yaupon Brothers). Also, the philodendrons you were pointing out are 'Xanadu' philodendrons.

Hoping by next year wife and I wont ever put our gardens to bed. Every fall so sad we can grow minamal inside. I bet the neighbors wonder what the grow lights are growing LOL Hope to be rerooted next year in Central Florida

Oh boy... I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but Goldenrod is a very risky plant to introduce to any ecosystem. I grew it for many years and was delighted by how many insects it attracted, how long it bloomed, how eye-catching they were from across the garden, etc. I gave a bunch of "babies" away praising it's benefits, I sold some at my plant sales, and I composted some due to how prolific they are at multiplying and spreading near and far. It was lovely watching the one plant turn into three that first year. Then a dozen. Then it started to look like a patch. Then thinning them out became an ongoing chore. Then... I researched and to my dismay, I discovered that I was contributing to a potential global problem stemming from this lovely perennial herb. The thing that struck me back then were reports of Goldenrod decimating wetlands and destroying entire ecosystems. 😳 When I learned of this I was furious. Why would 'they' sell these at the nursery? Why are they even ALLOWED to be sold at all if they're so risky? How is the average gardener supposed to know they're about to unleash a monster in their own backyard? Think I'm exaggerating? Read it and weep along with me, because Goldenrod is good for many things but the risk of destruction following it's path from my garden b d out into the world is shocking and unacceptable. And I don't think in this case, that we should take this great a risk. Risk peppermint taking over your beds and creeping into the neighbor's lawn, risk the poppies spreading around the neighborhood, but this one cannot be loosed. Powerful plant. blogs.scientificamerican.com/extinction-countdown/goldenrod/

I have a question .Can you grow mulberries in the Florida keys? great video

Is it too early to ask for Spring vegetables to got in soil/containers?

I can not get seminole pumpkins to grow for anything, doesn't matter what method i use they just die... actually all my squash family plants do. i'm in okeechobee now and they just seem to hate it. when i lived in psl they grew like crazy. ugh! lol

How do you propagate "firebush" aka "hummingbird plant" aka "hamelia patens"

I’m in north Florida…do you know if I can sow the dune sunflower seeds directly in the ground now or is it too cold here? Zone 8B

1st comment again!!!

looks like your tree is infected with citrus greening

Its nice in the north. Sometimes we need a break. Lol
