[@thelvareza5508]

Thanks for the listing of different plants that can be sown here in zone 9b. Just starting out.

[@SouthernDirtGardener]

You're welcome!!

[@RCPrepping]

This evening I transplanted Thai Pink Egg tomatoes and Cayenne pepper.

[@SouthernDirtGardener]

Wow! That sounds like a cool verity!

[@fullgardening]

Very lovely Garden🌱🌱🌸🌺🌼🙏🏻

[@SouthernDirtGardener]

Thank you!!

[@lennapelayo3252]

I read on the comments of migardens videos that those who had issues with bugs put cedar wood around it and didn’t have issues anymore

[@SouthernDirtGardener]

I haven't herd of that. I will have to research it. Ceader can get expensive... Thanks for your input.

[@lennapelayo3252]

@@SouthernDirtGardener no problem yes it is very expensive but it may be worth the cost if you truly want those zucchini and squash My girl's love the chocolate chip zucchini bread and my daughter adores the regular zucchini bread show eat the whole loaf if you're not watching lol have a beautiful day

I bought some fennel seeds, this will be my first attempt at growing. I love to juice pears and fennel together. Yummy

[@SouthernDirtGardener]

That's so interesting I've never grown fennel. I might have to add that to my list to try. What else do you use fennel for?

[@palominoshine7838]

Fennel grows great in our zone and it’s also kind of lacy looking quite pretty, sage does well for for me too and oregano.

Just found out that I am in 10 A I thought I was in 9 b 🤣😂 September what a wonderful month for Florida gardeners 😗👏 Thank you Summer

[@SouthernDirtGardener]

Lol! If you are close you can still plant by both zones. I love experimenting with both 9a and 9b

[@judyandfriends123]

I grew a zucchini in a 5 gallon bucke and it did great. No pests.

[@SouthernDirtGardener]

I'm trying in my raised bed this year to see how it works out

[@CraftEccentricity]

Keep spinach well away from fennel. I have spinach growing right now. Its about 2 inches high, and its with peas, lettuce and pak choi in the same bed

[@aprilbatzle7956]

Also squash should be planted in spring time for 9b . it can handle the hot summer as long as its well watered . I have good luck with squash , pumpkin and melons

[@SouthernDirtGardener]

I have always planted squash in the fall and in the spring. As long as I can cover it in a frost it will be fine. Tell me your secrets about growing squash organically. My squash plants typically do better when planting in the fall over my spring because the pressure of bugs.

[@nspowers7130]

Thank you

[@SouthernDirtGardener]

You're welcome!!

[@riverasurbanhomestead7564]

Just subscribed! I'm right down the road in Venice Fl. All my seed are out and ready to roll as well. Good luck

[@SouthernDirtGardener]

Thanks for subscribing neighbor! I'm ready to roll also!

[@CristalMermaid]

I live in zone 9b and I also have trouble growing any kind of spinach. The only beet variety that grows well for me is the Chioggia (the one that has pink and white circles) and the Tender grey zucchini (I cover it with fleece to prevent caterpillars and hand pollinate it) I have heard great things about Alexandria zucchini but have not tried it yet. Good luck in your garden this fall.

[@SouthernDirtGardener]

Thanks for the tips I love self-pollinating. One of our friendly Gardner's commented and said we should probably wait till November to plant beets and spinach. So I'm going to wait on those two.

[@warriormamma8098]

I heard someone say they use black tulle to keep pests off garden and hand pollinate.

[@JoyAdele68]

May be planting your spinach and beets too early. Im in 9b and they do well but I direct sow in october for beets and november for spinach. Also, spread phosphate and potassium (sometimes I use wood ash) in the soil and side dress halfway through for nice big health beets! Good luck!

[@SouthernDirtGardener]

Thanks for the tips! I'll wait till November on beets and spinach.

[@SouthernDirtGardener]

And I have some wood ash and azomite that I'm amending my soil with.

[@aprilbatzle7956]

Squash and watermelon/ melon like a round trench around them . fill up the trench with water to water them try not to slash the plant or leaves . they also need Pollinators

[@SouthernDirtGardener]

Thank you fir the tips!!

[@canceriangal4443]

Can you please tell me what variety of cabbage and cauliflower

[@SouthernDirtGardener]

That's a great question. This video was a while ago I'm not very sure.

[@meghannmcgivney2109]

Try lemon squash and plant very early spring or now… before the vine borers get to them!

[@SouthernDirtGardener]

Thank you!

[@wandagengler5170]

Try malibar spinach, I had luck with that kind.

[@SouthernDirtGardener]

Yes, I have grown that before in the summer and it does great! I now have longevity spinach that grows all year long but I really like. Thanks for the information!

[@growagarden54]

Thank you for the video. Which seeds will you start inside and which will you direct sow? I'm in 9b CA.

[@SouthernDirtGardener]

I start most all my seeds outside in trays in the fall. I only direct so root vegetables beans and peas.

[@growagarden54]

@@SouthernDirtGardener I'll do that. Thank you.

[@LakePenelope]

Just found your youtube video, have you tried Malabar Spinach? Heat tolerant and very nutritious!

[@SouthernDirtGardener]

Hi there! Welcome to my channel! Yes I have and will try again.

[@trinhzphotography350]

Beets require a lot of Boron in the soil to grow well. If they are not growing well, you'll need to add a Boron supplement to your soil.

[@SouthernDirtGardener]

Thank you!!! I'll make sure I find some to add to the area where I'm planting. Someone mentioned to wait till November.... I'm so thankful for tips from my subscribers!

[@trinhzphotography350]

@@SouthernDirtGardener I should have also added that you want to text your soil for boron deficiency before ever adding it to your soil. I think planting in November is probably what is needed to get your beets going. Happy gardening.

[@SouthernDirtGardener]

Thank you!!!

[@nanascraftroom]

Would love to start a garden. My husband built a raised bed for me. Where can I get Money Maker tomato seeds please?

[@jefflaliberte4587]

I'm a Mastwr Gardener in Port Richey Fl.. I can't grow any kind of squash anymore.....

[@SouthernDirtGardener]

I feel ya and I'm no Master Gardener. I typically can grow a few squash before disease and bugs take over that's about it. I was able to successfully grow spaghetti squash and Seminole pumpkin. That's about it

[@metrellgamble]

The long stemmed succulent plant is an alligator plant.

[@SouthernDirtGardener]

Thank you!!

[@justgoodness333littlehomes5]

For brassica, are you starting outdoors or indoors? I have an open side low tunnel under 50% shade cloth outdoors. I'm about an hour south of you just across the 10a line.

[@SouthernDirtGardener]

I start everything outdoors in the fall. I have an area with dappled sun and stay there till their ready to go in the ground.

[@jamiebanegas8070]

I thought it would be too hot for carrots in September. Thank you

[@SouthernDirtGardener]

That's when you want to plant from seed. You can wait till the end of September if you want to.

[@jamiebanegas8070]

Thank you I have never grown them before but I want to try

[@ashleysteffner1880]

Are potatoes a good planting option?

[@SouthernDirtGardener]

That's a great question usually I don't plant potatoes till later in the season. I plant sweet potatoes in the spring.

[@EdnaBlossoms310]

Do you need soil that says “for sowing” or can you sow in potting mix soil? I bought potting mix and regular soil for vegetables/flowers and mixed it 🥲

[@SouthernDirtGardener]

Yes if I'm direct sowing my seeds I will mix a little bit of soil used for sowing seeds or a sometimes called seed-starting soil. If I'm starting seeds in trays I only use the seed starting mix

[@lisarusso6618]

Sorry, but when you say it’s time to plant these in your garden, are you talking about direct seeding or transplanting? Thank you.

[@heathersnapp2453]

I think she's talking about direct sowing. She spoke about her seeds as a "going to" instead of "I did". That's what I'm taking from this 🤷

[@SouthernDirtGardener]

To plant from seed or if you find plants in a store. Now is the time to direct seed or transplant established plants in the garden

[@rebeccaberlin4141]

Is your tower in full all day sun? How often and how much do you water?

[@SouthernDirtGardener]

Yes about 7 hours. I love my tower! I was watering every other day. All I do is fill my Reservoir to the Top Line and done. Its now set up on a timer drip daily that way I don't forget to water it, LOL.

I'm sorry I do not! Maybe next season.

[@floridastitcher1]

My kale did well in 9a also. How did you use yours?

[@SouthernDirtGardener]

I would say kale is one of the top two things that produce through the entire year that we eat a lot of. I definitely wish I would have started growing kale many years ago. When I tried kale from the store it was disgusting only to find out kale is much better when freshly grown

[@kimberlyd317]

Something always nibbles my sunflowers. Since yours are in the wide open, do you have any issues? When you do this videos can you separate the seeds you direct sow vs start in trays. Love watching your channel evolve!!! That chicken 😂

[@SouthernDirtGardener]

Thank you! Yes I do have trouble with birds and squirrels possibly deer rabbits eating my sunflowers tops. I feel like certain parts of the year I have more trouble than most. What I've learned is to plant enough for both our family to enjoy and the animals.

[@SouthernDirtGardener]

And I pretty much plant all my seeds in trays except for things like root vegetables or large seeds like beans and peas.

[@crystalh733]

Why do you pull the plants up instead of letting them go to seed?

[@SouthernDirtGardener]

That's a great question. Letting them go to see can take a long time. It depends on the plant and if I need the seeds or not. If I don't need seeds I rather give the space to replant.

[@LeahBrooksJeremiahGardens]

Summer, I grow Kolribi spinach Oct - May and it’s amazing and delicious. I grow it in the Tower Garden. I think you would love it & you could teach others how to do it. I’ve had a hard time with traditional squashes too but have found that Korean zucchini grows very easily here in 9B. I’ll upload a video of it later today. Here’s the spinach video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/m4C6gnWclNeme80

Awesome! Thanks for the info!
