Hi Jackie, I’m in Miami and plan on starting more Everglades tomatoes, and eggplants from the big box stores. I don’t have much luck with bell peppers and the Cucamelon from seeds continue to grow but no edible fruits yet. All in raised beds. My guava tree is full of black fungus and the tangerine and lime trees are not growing 😢 but not dying either. But I’m NOT giving up, lol. I’ll just keep planting!!!

Id like to grow pumpkins for the sole purpose to decorate this fall. When should I start sowing seed and planting? And do you ever do vertical gardening?

Had a hearty tomato patch going and got hit by spider mites! Had to rip out about half of my EG and spraying soap to knock it out and save my Cherokees and sweet 100s. My Seminole pumpkins are taking off! I'll have to look into the Ping Tings, how do you cook them?

I’m doing roselle for first time this spring

Are cubanelle peppers good in stir frying? Cause that’s what I mainly use peppers for. 😊

Where did you get your roselle?

I am originally from Alaska but moved to Tampa area. I have a Jalapeño that I got from my local garden center, how well would it do in the summer here?

How are you protecting your crops from raccoons, Squirrels and birds?

Could it have been a cat? That got into your beds? We have a cat problem in my neighborhood and they destroy everything so I have to practically cage in my garden with goat fencing. It sucks. :)

Are Puerto Rican black beans a good bed companion for sweet potatoes?...side note: I'm so happy I found your channel. I live in Central Florida and could never find good reference material for gardening. Thank you for being awesome!

i had elbow and shoulder surgery ive started some stuff hydroponically and bought some stuff im just doing my best

Jacqueline, when you say you will “replace” a plant like your cubanelle peppers do you mean that you will cut down the old existing plants or dig them up,roots and all and then will you plant more of the same ie: cubanelle in that same bed or would you rotate crops?

UV Index is something I really wish the big box stores would consider. They sell sooooooo many plastic garden tools that just don't last here in Florida. Even the ones that are UV hardened or resistant only last about 2 years. But walk into a big box store and try to find a metal watering can... one that isn't meant to be a cheap decorative item. They are few and far between. I think I got my current metal one from Rural King about 6 years ago and it is still going strong.

Hi Jacqueline! You've been a big help to me as I've been gardening with elementary students in our two-year-old school garden in Longwood, Fl. I'm really glad I found your channel. I've learned A LOT from you, especially about natives! Question for you. Do you worry about growing sunflowers with certain plants? I've heard they can hurt some crops. How big a deal is this in raised beds? 🌻

Hi! I am a passionate native gardener in SWFL (10A) . You’ve inspired me to give vegetable gardening a try. I love your raised beds . Will you kindly share your source?

What type irrigation system are you using in the new white backyard beds?

Tomatoes produce several hormones when pollinated and fertilized, including auxin and gibberellins (GAs), which stimulate fruit set. Auxin is a plant growth-regulating hormone that plays a key role in cell expansion, division and differentiation, fruit setting, and development. I use it on my flowering plants

I’m also a seed impulse buyer. I don’t need them… but I buy them anyway! Cause why not 😂😂😂

How do you drip tree root from getting up the raised bed ?

It's so wild to me how different your veggie season is from ours! But also cool to see some of the same plants in a totally different environment.

Jacqueline, when would you suggest planting cubanelle? I started mine from seed in January and have them in grow bags. I'm in Trinity, north of you. Any info would be great.

My roselles went in the ground this weekend. They were started in February.

¡Hola! from Ybor! 😊 I had bad luck with strawberries, an everbearing variety; they are full of leaves with small little fruits. Not sure if I should rip ‘em out or not. What do y’all think?

Hi Jacqueline. The garden looks great as usual.

My PingTung eggplant has become a perennial for me. Just planted Seminole pumpkins. I now have raccoons eating my harvests- they ate all my loquats😢. Thanks for the reminders on what peppers to choose- I’m always hopeful for sweet peppers, but white flies tend to be a battle.

So motivating thank you

Also for those wanting to buy plants, check to see if your local nurseries sell veggie seedlings. We have one in Lakeland that sells for little plants for around $3!

Great video as always❤

Great ideas to get started on . I need to get my roselle started. I got some tomatoes and peppers started. Potatoes are in the ground and my garlic and elephant garlic are doing great 😊
