Fascinating property! Some amazing owners there. Daniel is one lucky guy and you can tell by the joy in his voice that he loves what he does. So many amazing plants!! Love the driftwood stuff too!
I love how he says “we” he doesn’t own the property or the plants but he definitely cares about it like his own . It’s great To have employees who value their job.
I so needed to see this video. I've moved back to the farm where I used to live I've lost most of my plants. And I'm starting over. This is so inspirational I needed it. Everything is overgrown and full of smilex vines. But I am determined to make it a beautiful garden again.
Wow, this video was so good, I had to watch it twice. Had to keep rewinding to pause and look up the names of some of these plants. So many great ideas here! Glad you're back, Pete. Always enjoy your videos. If they ever do a tour, I'd love to see this place up close!
Wow! Unbelievable , those Ilang ilang are one of the best fragrance ever. It’s very expensive and we use those as garlands for graduation, hang on font car mirror as perfume and stuff like that, it’s also included as one essence of those expensive perfume out there.
Yesterday I searched up your channel wondering if you posted anything which i missed cause you were gone for so long. And boom today theres a new video. Good to see you back. Social media breaks are good tho. Sometimes we just need to detach for abit
Hey Uncle Pete, nice to see you 😊. Daniel does a fabulous job with this property 🎉. Wow,you'd never know this property got hit bye a Hurricane, great job bringing it back 🎉. Thanks for the wonderful Tour! Merry Christmas 🌟🎄🎅. JO JO IN VT 💞☃️
Good to see ya back, Pete! I always enjoy your videos, and this one did not disappoint ! I wish this garden was not private because I would like to tour it also. So, thanks, for taking us along on your visit. I have picked up some interesting tips on bananas. Can't wait for Part 2!
I loved watching your reverse stamping process, especially with such a cute plate! It came out so cute :D Tackling my craft room is my 2024 goal too, plus a closet or two. I like breaking it into 15 minute chunks so I don’t get overwhelmed or just lost in there the whole day. 😅
This place is amazing! Kudos to Rick for tending an investing in his property like this. Imagine if more properties in FL nutrued their outdoor space like this. I feel like the HOA developments are going to do us all in. They would never allow a property to look like this. Can't wait for part 2.
In my tropical warm house I'm expecting a sizable banana harvest again by around June, there will probably be around 100 bananas. Dwarf cavendish, the Central American fruit banana, these are the ones you can buy in stores everywhere, but of course they taste even better when harvested when fully ripe. Greetings from Germany
Really enjoyed this video. So much knowledge imparted here and the plants, sigh, so many unique specimens. We stopped spraying insecticides a few years back to as we value our bees and butterflies. I'm with @lsipp2889 and kept rewinding this. Now I'm going to rewatch and take notes, LOL. So looking forward to Part 2!!
I can’t believe you are in Englewood, I live there. We bought our home years ago with 2 trees and now a tropical garden. Hurricane Ian put a hurt on everything and our house.
This was awesome, just what the doctor ordered...now to get out and pound some dirt, even in Jax as I wait for some warmer weather...but bananas are going crazy, I have 18 racks coming on in my tiny bungalow jungalow and have already eaten one...time to concentrate on more butterfly flowers...this has definitely got me in the mood...come on spring...!
Hey Pete, when is your nursery opening? Also, St Pete has a HUGE bombax on the side of the museum just before the pier. It's big enough for kids to climb all over it and always someone in front of it taking pictures. Lit up nice at night. Beautiful red flowers.
29:45 Pentas - Years ago I got my first pentas from a Lake County Master Gardener (MG) sale. I was so impressed with how prolific they were with butterflies and hummingbirds, I went to my local big box store and picked up several more. And over the summer I noticed that 1) the ones from the MGs grew three times bigger and 2) butterflies and hummingbirds wouldn't feed from the big box plants. They would fly to them, but move on rather than feed. The MG ones lived through a couple of winters until we had a pretty hard freeze that killed the roots. So now I take cutting to keep them going.
My uncle gave me the advice to smack my seedling orange years ago. I think it actually worked. Who knows, normally you whack them once they are old enough anyways and you are frustrated with them. At the point they are probably ready to start blooming anyways.
The video was wonderful as always. I reckon south Florida has different code regs than us up here in northwest Florida out in the country where I live which is zoned agricultural I can build a tiki house or any type of open structure without permits. It definitely is different in neighborhoods where there are HOAs or possibly in the city limits but not out in the country where I live because we most certainly can build a tiki hut in our backyard without a building permit. Also if you don't have access to fronds they can be purchased online or better yet grow palmettos or other plants for thatch on your property.
Having walked many a sloughs,prairies, and forests in the state. They have some naturalized non-natives. They should throw some tickseed seeds in with the cosmos. Native porter weed grows horizontal. The nursery trade hybrid grows upright.
Funny that we, The Dutch (from The Netherlands), call the Dutchman's Pipe "Duitse pijp". This translates to German pipe. Don't know why that is but there you go. Lovely plant, I planted 2 last spring :)
Ohhhh yeah the bananas in my yard beat my sweet potatoes but love living with a papaya, i keep chopping it away but its root must live under the biggest banana, must like each other, im shocked.
These Farm tour videos showcase the property owners' unique preferences and passions. Money is a tool that's used by all, more or less. We have tour videos on both ends of the financial spectrum
Lignum vitae is Latin for "wood of life." Common names are almost always ambiguous, which is why I prefer scientific names (though taxonomy isn't stable either). In the USA, coconuts are always just called "coconuts" or "coconut palms," never "tree of life." The tree of life mentioned in Genesis (first use of that name, so far as I know) doesn't exist in this present world.
