Dehydrate them for the winter... yummmm....

Tumblers are crap.

Girl you just blow my mine with your jocaba,in a pot thats has fruit on it!I plant minds in the ground and its not growing it looks sad!I need to figure out what Im doing wrong😢

Yes, my green beans are not looking good!I had to plant the Thia long bean,are doing great😊.I need to buy sweet potatoes slips,kind of forgot to start them this year from a sweet potato 🤔.

I started a garden this year in central Florida with an 4x8 foot bed and I planted san Marzano tomatoes, cherry tomatoes and sunflowers and they are taking off right now! I also tried peppers but I think I started them too late as they stopped growing when I transplanted them, and now I'm gonna put some long beans in their place and hopefully they will do well. thanks for the vid!

My sweet and poblano peppers and cannelli beans are still doing good. Hanging onto a couple of my tomato plants just waiting patiently for a few of the remaining fruit to blush even though they're (barely) still setting fruit. Everything else is just about toast and I'm grossed out with all the white flies. I guess I'm going to have to get used to it LOL Hate to see how bad the bugs and disease will get with all the rain we're now getting. I'm so envious you have all that space for your fruit trees. Thanks for another good video.

With squash, once they flower stop fertilizing with nitrogen and get a fertilizer that is higher potassium and phosphorous - hubby and I grow pumpkins in GA (zone 7b) for the last two years and use Farmers Secret Bloom feed

Very informative

Supposedly you can get some plants to grow by using a shade cloth in high temps and hot sun (40% shade cloth is popular).. Thanks for the video!

Hi Patrina, what is the name of that Asian Cucumber? Thank you

You could probably grow 3 or 4 muscadines along the fence over where your fruit trees are. They can also be grown in a large pot and spiraled up like an ice cream cone. Or even trained to loop around a tree. They don't have to be grown the way we typically see them.

It's impossible because of funghi diseases,pests .. High humidity till 75-80 per cents + 32-35 segrees creates the sauna effect, If i can't breathe so plants also can't. Every year i believe with naive child approach if i start early in March it will produce a lot of veggies without getting diseases and this year made me really depressed and disappointed..In my 3 years of gardening I never face with such funghi diseases and lost of yield of 3 cherry tomatoes+ pepper got fruits but not tasty...

Knock on wood, my peppers, watermelon and sweet potatoes are all loving the heat. I'm looking forward to the fall so I can replant everything else. Hopefully we won't have an extended summer 🥵

Can you talk about your larger trees/plants that you put right up against your house? Any concerns about the roots causing problems with the foundation or the branches/leaves/fruit messing with your paint?

What type of plum tree?

Tomato soup, tomato juice, dried tomatoes. Take the green beans you don't really like and puree them with some tomatoes and other vegetables to make vegetable broth.

WOW I love your amazing pantry. And your harvest is insane. You are ready for whats about to happen in our country. I would be cautious of exposing all my food and stock pile on social media. I have been gardening now for a few years and the bigger my garden grows the more my neighbors have been snooping around my house looking at it. I have a small yard like you with 11 raised beds. I literally have a pinapple plantation growing around the border of my yard and with all the pineapples I have growing now my neighbors stare at my house when they walk by. I have given plants, seeds and vegetables away to my next-door neighbors in hopes it will encourage them to grow their own food gardens. I'm not trying to feed my neighbors just tring to spend less at the grocery store and start to preserve some of my harvest too. I don't see our economy getting better any time soon. I have been prepping now for 4 years for hurricanes and other emergencies. I have had people say to me when SHTF hits the fan I'm coming to your house. I laugh but I think they are serious since they are not preppers. Times are changing quickly.

Yes, ginger is a summer crop. Its tropical and loves the heat and humidity. You can freeze ginger, dehydrate it to make ginger spice, ginger tea, ginger candy oh and ginger ale. My summer harvest has been, bananas, watermelon, papayas, pineapples soon. Lots of long beans, french sorrell, red onions, garlic, peppers, ginger and herbs. I have 3 huge Jamaican Sorrell bushes growing and lots of sweet potatoes. I have a lemon meyers tree, lime tree and collamondi orange tree, some tomato plants and eggplants, I'm using this summer to work around my garden I just put in a rain barrel and pulling weeds our Florida crab grass. Propgating herbs, growing my flower and aloe beds and planting new seedlings for succession sowing. I'm dehyrating lots of herbs to make spices. Each growing season gets better. Keeping up on my garden is much easier for me to handle doing small daily tasks in the evening rather than letting my garden get out of control during the summer months. How old is your Avacado tree? Happy Gardening.

Zone 5 northern Missouri and these trees have grown and produced fruit here my entire life. The trees were as large as oaks. Never heard of anyone keeping them small in a pot.

I’m in the middle of Fl and I didn’t get many peppers this year either. Had a lot last year. I think it is “just a year.”

I'm having a great watermelon year too. When do the vines die back? I never had them live into June.

I put my Puerto Rican black beans seeds out last week, nothing has sprouted so we will see,my ginger and turmeric are doing great although the Ginger does have white spots on it not sure what’s going on there. If you get an abundance of either ginger or turmeric , you can always slice it up dehydrated and powder it for teas..

I live in tue villages n i have small garden too..as now i have Philippines plants.longbeans.okra,long eggplant, bitter melon.sweet potato ,moringga .cucumber.garlic,bell pepper.tomato, 3pineapple.ginger and jalapeño.

Hi neighbor! I'm in Citrus County and my garden looks very similar to yours as far as what is still growing. But, i have bananas. I counted them and there are 41 total. They are also the dwarf cavendish. So looking forward to those. I'm always checking for that big purple bloom and then if i forget about it all of a sudden it is there. I never get to see it form. It does take about 18 months. This is my 3rd batch so far and they're very sweet. I did watch your video on the new Sugarbelle Oranges and i did buy one of those and it's doing really well. I saw on the Millennial Gardener he had found a cucumber called Merlin that I am anxious to try. I will plant them soon. They don't need pollinators and they only get female flowers so there should be lots of cucumbers. I am also storing away black beans. I'm on my second batch. I do have them under shade cloth so i will see how they work out underneath it. Hoping we get some rain soon. Your fruit trees are looking amazing. I planted the seeds inside the loquat fruit and had 25 trees. I gave a lot of them away. I already have 3 trees but i think i will find a spot and have a loquat section. I hate to let them die so i will find a spot for them. Looking forward to planting my fall garden and some cooler weather. Florida Gardener Zone 9a

Ginger and turmeric yes plant them in March/April and harvest once’s the leaves drys out. I make a powder from my ginger, turmeric and a little black pepper and drink the tea every morning. It’s very good for arthritis.

Everglades tomatoes are beasts. I just started some a few weeks ago only in probably 88-90 degree heat and high humidity here in Sarasota county, and I'm pretty sure I got 100 percent germination. Im already sold on them. Oh, and they're growing on my lanai in probably 75 percent shade so theyre not getting adequate sunlight, and they seem to not even care. Same with thai basil, seems to love the heat and humidity. Surprisingly though my chives and sage are fine. However, all this stuff is growing in containers so take these results with a grain of salt I guess

Another excellent video!!it helped me feel better about transplanting my watermelons I have been growing indoors today 👊🏻🌻👊🏻

Great inspiration! Thank you! I did the same thing with my ginger and turmeric. All of a sudden they wake up and start growing. And, I’ve got a lot of them 😂. I’m do get a nice harvest so I’ve been dehydrating them then grinding up and use in cooking, teas, golden milk (turmeric).

When do you start seeds for fall/winter? Could you please do a video about that?

I hope your on well water and not chlorinating your plant.

Flash freeze before freeze dryer to shorten drier time

The heat is on! 102F heat index today, and it is going to get hotter. Everything is doing great, my fruit trees, peppers, tomatoes, herbs, summer squash, melons, pole beans, cucumbers, and tomatoes. Surprisingly, they are still flowering and setting fruit in the heat. In two weeks, I start my fall garden with planting a second crop of potatoes. I've already weeded out the raised bed to get it ready. My Sugar Baby watermelon aren't as productive as I hoped for, but the cantaloupe are going crazy. Fungi is bad in north central Alabama. To prevent fungi infestation, I spray every ten days with Immunox. Next year, I'll switch to Copper, then alternate. So far, my garden is completely free of fungi. My peppers are slow this year, but I've taken four harvests. After the peak summer heat passes, they will produce crazy fast. I just added five hens to my garden.

I've got sweet potatoes, red beans, lima beans, my lacinato kale is still producing. I moved my peppers to a more shaded spot in the garden & they are still producing a little. I planted peanuts for the first time, they seem to be doing great. My hot chili pepper plant is going on its second year, still producing, I'm about to plant some Puerto Rican black beans, just have to put together the trellis for it. I love seeing your garden, so many plants. I always look forward to your videos. Thanks again for sharing.

My turmeric took a couple of months and the ginger just now sprouting now .

I use my mulberries in smoothies and in my oatmeal and with yogurt

Thank you for sharing ✌🏽💖🤟🏽✨️🧚‍♂️

Ginger & turmeric are definitely a “time of year thing”! Mine just started coming up a few weeks ago (NE FL).

Love your garden! You have packed a lot in! Plants that are doing well for me in the heat: Black eyed peas (prolific!), cherry tomatoes (in partial shade), Tromboncino squash, onions, turmeric, rosemary, Datil peppers, cubanelle peppers, Jimmy Nardello peppers, sweet potatoes. Green beans are about done. I go out early in the morning to check on things.

I have Spanish lavender in the ground in full sun. Maybe repot yours with 1/2 sand 1/2 soil. I’ve never had luck in a pot.

I'm in south FL and everything I've tried hasn't made it lol. So, I'll hold off until fall. I'm a first-time gardener so I learned the hard way.

My mint just bolted overnight. Didn't think it would. 🤦

You are correct with turmeric and ginger. No sight for a good part of the year, then overnight they all get the message to grow.
