I`m trying in central Louisiana and battling extreme yearly freezes. I hope we get a break this next winter because I started over 15 new fruit trees, asparagus, strawberries and more. Armadillos are a really bad problem too.

[@cajunvegan7716]

I'm from Lafayette ❤ but live I'm Houston. Good luck

[@emeraldfox7175]

I'm in S.e.Louisiana and don't really have a problem

I'd love to know as well luv

[@growinginportland]

I’ve implemented some of those tips, but they’re great. I’m two years into creating my food forest in Portland, Oregon. I’ll be doing my first tour video soon on my KZbin channel. Would love to come and visit Florida one day and see this amazing place. Thanks for sharing all my best.

[@JerrasGarden]

Thanks for watching 😀

[@emeraldfox7175]

Too cold in Portland for these plants

[@deecooper1567]

Very impressive 🤩👵🏻👩‍🌾❣️

Lonnie has a lot of cool stuff. It's almost mango season, too.

[@JerrasGarden]

Yep! He is doing mango tastings right now so really cool opportunity to taste test different varieties

[@donaldbubenheimer7854]

I know Lonny! Heyyy Lonny!

I bought four Dwarf Everbearing Mulberry trees from Florida this year. They`re growing like crazy. There are a lot of things I wish I had but online prices are just too much on a fixed income. Even seeds are outrageous for tiny amounts. I`m growing Crowder Peas for seeds this year because I paid so much for so few that it isn`t worth eating the harvest and I only got half the number I ordered. It cost me nearly 100 bucks and over two years to get the real dwarf tomato variety I wanted for indoors because of scammers. Who knows what my fig trees really are because chances are they`re just whatever they had access to. I won`t know until they fruit if they`re keepers for my climate or even a variety that`s self pollinating because scammers really enjoy harming home growers.

Try getting good fresh fruit & veggies & save the seeds from everything you get.. then grow your fruits and veggies from the seeds you saved. Dry your seeds on coffee filters.. don’t forget to write the name of the seeds that you have saved.. bell pepper, poblano pepper, strawberry, cantaloupe, ect.. happy growing!

I love this video!!!

[@juhgfdsapiyhhnnxc3517]

Awesome

[@TheHybridWizard]

I thought UF classified Mexican sunflower as an invasive? I suppose if you are cutting it back often during growing season it will keep them under control

[@222mmax]

Thank you God bless you Maranatha

[@daveschreiner413]

Thanks!

Welcome!

I'm in St Pete and so frustrated I can't get a papaya to take.

[@lisafahrner8257]

Hi Jerra, Have you ever grown garlic? I have some but I don’t think it’s going to turn out.

[@bethb8276]

Jerra I'm wondering how the flavor of the Mysore raspberry was when you tasted it?

[@JerrasGarden]

Delicious! Tastes more like a blackberry than a raspberry.

[@OffGridHawaii]

Great tips! We just uploaded a video, 5 step to manage a food forest.

[@JerrasGarden]

I'll check it out!

[@cajunvegan7716]

Can anyone understand what she's saying about the type of raspberry ??? I wish they would spell the words.. this is what I've found work a search for zone 9.

[@JerrasGarden]

Hi. You can ask me your questions. Happy to answer. Regular raspberr;es dont grow well in hot climates because they require a certain amount of cold chill hours that we simply do not get. Mostly areas where it doesnt snow. So I grow Mysore raspberries instead. They are darker in color but look like raspberries. Flavor is more like a blackberry and mulberry combination. Very delicious. I often sell Mysore raspberry plants on my website.

Can i grow Yuca in north florida?

[@emeraldfox7175]

[@danielnaberhaus5337]

@@JerrasGarden i wonder if that's the same as uhi, a Hawaiian canoe plant.

[@paulinazajaczkowska1878]

how do you call the florida native berries ?

[@JerrasGarden]

The Tice mulberry is a Florida native. It is hard to find plants but @thereidfarm1 has some

[@paulinazajaczkowska1878]

[@DavidNeal-cr1kx]

WHY are neither of you growing Moringa for crying out loud??!!!

[@JerrasGarden]

It was not mentioned in this video but I do grow lots of moringa and have a few videos about it

[@lisettesyummygarden2299]

Lonny grows Moringa and a gazillion more things.

[@stephaniefuller]

I just harvested some, I like to make iced tea with it when it's hot.

[@sandyrobinette4091]
