Thank you sooooooo much for this video and explaining how you plan based on plant height, sun exposure, and the best varieties for your area. I have learned so much from your channel. Just downloaded your planner. Thank you from a fellow central Florida gardener!

I don't do spicy, never liked radishes until a youtuber roasted them. She sliced them olive oil and season, I did it and love them. The spicy was gone.

[@HomegrownFloridaZ9a]

[@ellenconforti5693]

That was some video. A lot of work went into it and a lot of good information. I will have to watch it again so i can write down some of the veggies you are trying plus the ones that have worked for you. I think i will go with the peas this year also. I usually grow the pods to add to stir fries but the shelling peas sound interesting and i have a great trellis for them. The early jersey wakefield cabbage is one of my favorites. Love the shape. I will also try some of your other suggestions after i watch it again. Florida Gardener (Citrus County) Zone 9a Hi neighbor!

[@HomegrownFloridaZ9a]

Hi neighbor 👋 so glad you enjoyed it and got some new ideas. Fall is always my time to try new things. It’s like a reset after the tough summer season. All things are possible again!

[@heatheringram2976]

I didn’t think I liked radish either until I had them in France. They toasted them like potatoes and were amazing! They also sliced them like coins, spread butter on them and sprinkled with salt. Fabulous and not a bit spicy. Try these two ways before giving them away. Also the trombocino squash starts as a summer squash but will store all winter and turns orange like a butternut. It’s amazing They are 3’ long! I still have some from a year ago that are fine

[@HomegrownFloridaZ9a]

I’ll give that a shot. Thanks so much! I’m super excited about the trombocino squash. And I’ll definitely leave at least one to get mature.

[@kellyclemons7908]

I enjoy your channel - it's nice to see content that applies to my zone and climate (I'm in North Florida). Wanted to let you know I was really excited to try out that Seed time app, but they immediately bombarded me (before even letting me look around at the tools) to upgrade to a paid account. I was never able to even get in, even though I sat through the multiple videos, because I wouldn't click the upsell button. Just wanted to make you aware....it might be a great tool - it looked pretty cool when you showed it - but I'd like to at least have a test drive before I decide to pay for any bells and whistles. Worst case scenario, I go back to UF/IFAS for help with planning and organizing my garden. And continue to enjoy the information you share. Thanks!

[@HomegrownFloridaZ9a]

That’s odd. I didn’t have that experience. I’ve only just recently used the paid version but I used the free version for about 2 years. They do send a lot of emails but I never had a problem using the site on the free version

[@Happy2Run4Me]

I don’t really like radishes either but I found a way to make them where I like them. I quarter them and roast them like herbed potatoes and have them as a side dish. They are really good with rosemary and thyme and garlic. I was quite surprised how much I enjoyed them that way and all the spice was gone. I also like them sliced and cooked in with meat as a kind of scalloped “potato” hash as well. Also surprisingly good and I liked the texture as well. So maybe you might like them after all? ☺️😉You never know right? Also if they bolt, the seed pods are edible in salads and aren’t as spicy either. Who knew they were so versatile? 😁 Also, I think you’ll enjoy the Tromboccino squash. I grow it every year, it gets huge, tastes very good and if you let it mature can last and cure like a winter squash. I’ve also never had any pest issues with it! It does vine everywhere though so keep that in mind! It’s also called zucchini Rampicante and that’s because it’s rampant with its vining lol.

[@HomegrownFloridaZ9a]

I’ll have to give that a try. I want to like them so this might be the way. It’s funny you mentioned the other name because I just planted some thinking it was a different variety 🤣 I guess I’m going to have a ton of these squashes in my future.

[@liamthompson9090]

Maybe, one day, they will create "variable terracing" garden beds. As an example, an 8 foot garden bed that comes in two, 4 foot sections: the height of each section can be raised or lowered by means of a lever or hand crank (like jacking up a car). That way, your tall plants don't shade out the short ones.

[@HomegrownFloridaZ9a]

That would be amazing. You should patent that!

[@fishingpinky3165]

Patrina...after spending all day in the 90 degree heat here on the east coast of central Fl, all I thought about was coming in and watching this video AGAIN! I literally had to rip out 75% of my plants in my raised beds due to poor planning. I felt like I just wanted to call you and cry! Okra, Eggplant, Cowpeas, Zinnias, Basil etc. I didnt take the time to do what you did in this video and man...did I learn my lesson. So many of those plants were leggy, and shaded out by each other. I am sitting here now with my 2023 Wild Floridian Garden Planner and ready to take notes and PLAN my fall garden.

[@HomegrownFloridaZ9a]

I’m so sorry you had a tough day but the cool thing about gardening is you have a whole new season to try again and do it differently! It’s one of my favorite things. Also, it’s for fall which is the BEST gardening time here!

[@sonnyamoran7383]

I found that as long as they get 6 hours of sun, you shouldn't have a problem with n/s beds. Most of my beds get plenty even with tall center crops.

[@HomegrownFloridaZ9a]

My N/S beds aren’t so bad but the E/W ones can be a little tough. Just requires a little more planning on my part.

[@oreopaksun2512]

Wow! Petrina! So much work, and more great information! I will drag out my seeds and get down to the business of really narrowing down what has to be grown in the fall. But the summer garden is still going, including eggplants, sweet potatoes and tropical greens. Thai Red Roselle has proven much more resistant to aphids, and though they have not flowered yet, I think I will have enough calyxes to think about dehydrating for tea (I don't want to say 'jam' cause I don't want to jinx myself) so thats two containers that will not be available until winter. Lots to think about. Start with the big rocks....LOL, thanks for keeping it real.

[@HomegrownFloridaZ9a]

That’s right! Big rocks first. Hopefully you have enough for jam because that is such a treat 🫖

[@lindapedersen-hylka7170]

Where & when do you start your seeds. Do you plant them right in the ground or start in a seed tray. Should we be starting them now? I did good, so far, this year. I flopped last fall & I want to make this year a success. Thanks again for all your help & info. Love your videos.

[@HomegrownFloridaZ9a]

It actually depends on the plant. Most of the time I start in trays, but some plants prefer to be planted directly. Things like beans, peas squashes melons. Check out my garden planner because in the back of it I have a calendar by season that shows exactly when to start veggies. I started some tomatoes this week but most everything I’m going to wait till next month to start for my fall veggies and then September or October for my winter veggies.

[@heatheringram2976]

Petrina, I love your channel. I dream of moving to Florida to garden all year so I’m making a file of all the varieties that work for you. You mentioned that you don’t like to keep alcohol in the house because you once had a problem with it. I kind of do to. I’m great all day, but then cooking dinner is a big trigger for me. Do you have any tricks or tips if you dealt with dinner time triggers? I try to prep dinner earlier in the day to avoid that, but my schedule doesn’t always allow me to do that Thanks so much

[@HomegrownFloridaZ9a]

My trigger was dinner too. The first thing I did was stop keeping any alcohol in the house. I ordered my groceries for pick up or delivery rather than shopping to keep me from walking past those aisle. I bought cherry limeaid soda and maraschino cherries to make a mocktail to drink with dinner. I also made commitments to not drink for a day/week/month and eventually that became a year and it became much easier. It takes time but it is possible and give yourself grace. Perfection is hard to achieve so aim for progress.

[@heatheringram2976]

Thanks so much Petrina

[@dianaweatherford5005]

Love the vid and the planner! I am also beginning to plan for a fall garden, but I always get hung up on WHEN to start things. I'm just south of Tampa, zone 9b. When do YOU start planting fall crops? My everglades maters, okra and cowpeas are going strong, but everything else has petered out. I want to try those shelling peas, and I'm gonna try brassicas.😬

[@HomegrownFloridaZ9a]

I just started my tomatoes this week from seed. All the other warm season stuff like squash and cucumbers I’ll start in August. Then my cold season stuff like broccoli and kale, I start in September. In the back of the planner is a calendar by season that shows when to start and when you should expect to harvest. Hope it helps 💚

[@CristalMermaid]

Really good video, loved to hear what varieties work for you and the ones that you are trying. I have tried the cauliflower varieties that you mentioned and they did not worked for me, I live in the Orlando area and the only one that have worked for me is the Durgesh 41 from Baker Creek. I will be growing potatoes from seed from Botanical Interests this year to see if it works better for me than growing them from sprouted potatoes. I would like to try the Salanova lettuce this year, thanks for the video.

[@HomegrownFloridaZ9a]

I’ll definitely be checking out the Durgesh. Does it get pretty big? Glad you enjoyed 💚

[@HomegrownFloridaZ9a]

Usually things like beans, peas, squash, cucumbers… sometimes if I’m in a rush I’ll plant anything direct seeded except tomatoes which I always start in trays or pots

[@paulduff3555]

I planted tomatoes in the spring and they did really well even through the Florida heat. It isn’t producing right now but the plants are heathy. Should I leave them in and hope for a fall harvest or should I get them out and do something new?

[@HomegrownFloridaZ9a]

If you have the room, maybe leave them and see what happens. From my experience, they usually don’t make it to fall due to disease from all the rain but if you have a way to protect them, they may start producing again once the weather cools down.

[@georginablumel2852]

I have a request/suggestion. Can you do a page in the planner for the AeroGarden? I have the harvest 6 pod and I also have the seed starting kit for it. I was going to attempt to draw one myself, but I am really terrible at that.

I normally don’t do anything about them. Eventually some good bug will come and take care of them. I do try and grow a trap plant every season to lure them to it rather than the rest of my garden. If it gets really out of control and it’s a veggie I don’t want to lose, I’ll spray them off with water every day for a week and that usually knocks them back pretty good.
