Where to get seeds for the small Thai eggplant?

[@soilbellefarm3210]

What kind of bananas are they please

[@amberwalters6274]

Thank you for the work you do! I have enjoyed watching your videos over the last two months. You are so engaging, and I get excited to start my gardening journey. I love the tours you show us! Renee was so well-spoken, and I especially loved her bits of tips she gave us!

[@jonnahdee9202]

I feel so inspired!

[@Beherenow-p5e]

Thank you Awesome.

[@Bside7680]

What was the name if that sweet edible red flower ?

[@reneeperry416]

It's called Turks Cap.

[@lionmelendez765]

I'm so glad I do not live in a HOA neighborhood. By the way your garden looks great, but if you keep your banana plants in a circle with only 3 plants you will get a bigger yields. Thanks for sharing.

[@0anant0]

When you say 3 plants in a banana circle, how big is the circle (diameter)? I have about 9 small plants that I need to plant. Thanks!

[@lionmelendez765]

@@0anant0 depending of the size of your banana plant, you need to have space between them that will allow their racks of banana grow n not damage the other plant. Remember they demand fertilizer 2 or 1 week before Spring, summer and Fall, mulch the area and water often specially in summer.

[@0anant0]

@@lionmelendez765 Thanks for a quick reply! All my plants are less than a foot long and mostly are dwarf varieties. Planning to get a chip drop for soil/mulch. Was wondering whether I should plant them in ground or keep them in 15gallon grow bags (where they are now). I am in Zone 9B. Thanks!

great vid

[@Conny-tk8md]

Wish I could hire these guys to design a front yard food forest for me!

[@PeteKanarisGreenDreamsFL]

I think they do offer that service if you’re local....

[@joleenahood603]

I've been wanting to grow a food forest in my front yard for a long time. What do people do about their septic and drain field areas? Do they just plant on top of them? I have a bunch of fruit trees I'd love to get into the ground, but am afraid the roots would be a problem. Is there a solution?

[@PeteKanarisGreenDreamsFL]

Most people avoid deep rooting fruit trees on the septic field. Shallow rooted vegetables, annuals and cover crops would be ok.

[@mingsong]

What was the one with cyanide?

[@reneeperry416]

Hi, Ming. It's called Chaya or Mexican Tree Spinach. It's really delicious and nutritious. Just be sure to boil the greens in water for at least 10 minutes.

[@mingsong]

Renee Perry thanks Renee.

[@judyhowell7075]

Welcome to Pensacola!

[@treemanfoodforest7550]

You have everythings like you live in Thailand, tropical zone, as the same.

[@easthillediblegardening5625]

Hi, Wilas. There are so many Thai vegetables that I love! There are many Thai here and I enjoy meeting them and finding out what they grow here that works. During our hot and humid summers we can't grow many of the plants that can be grown in the rest of the U.S. Tropical vegetables such as those in Thailand do great for us then and they love our summers. I actually have a bunch of other Thai plants in the backyard that are not shown on this video.

[@kolapyellow7631]

cherry egg plants yummy make dip

[@VeganChiefWarrior]

did she say 9a? awesome im in temperate zone 9b just!

[@PeteKanarisGreenDreamsFL]

BetterYouBetterWorld yes they are in 9a.

[@derekclawson4236]

Super awesome garden Renee! Thanks for the video Pete! I'm now here in wewahitchka and ready to start something similar. Moved up from Sarasota where I once had a six year old food forest. Starting over entirely here but in time will be bountiful like yours! Thanks for the inspirational video tour!

[@easthillediblegardening5625]

Thanks, Derek!

[@rgruenhaus]

Hello from west Pensacola! I had bananas several years ago in my front yard now just roses. A meyer lemon tree in the back yard.

[@easthillediblegardening5625]

Hello, Robert!

[@judyhowell7075]

Renee I met your sister at Physical Therapy go you! I have a garden and chickens. :)

[@ljm1622]

This is all so interesting! Where would one get the unconventional perennial vegetables such as Okinawa spinach and Puerto Rican black beans? I live in St Pete, Florida. Thanks!

[@saowsakonkohnAlaska2371]

You are making a very great video Pets?❤️👍

[@bigrich6750]

How is it that I love to garden, live in Pensacola very near East Hill, and have never heard of East Hill Edible Gardening?

[@MsFishingdog]

great video.

[@PeteKanarisGreenDreamsFL]

Jerry heath thank you!

[@smokeydabeecharlescoleman8365]

Is her Loquat fruit splitting because of high watering habits near the bananas ?

[@reneeperry416]

I don't think so. That loquat was trouble before the banana circle was installed. It's an Italian variety. Coming from a dry Mediterranean area I think it just can't cope with our normal rainfall which is over 5 feet per year.

[@dianakrueger4106]

Thanks for the great video. Inspiration for us to start our own edible garden

[@FensterfarmGreenhouse]

Great tour. She has given me a lot of good ideas for some of my greenhouse space! Chuck

[@theladyinblack3]

I’m thrilled to find this! We plan to move to Pensacola in a few years, our son and his family live there. I want to have a garden so this series is going to be so informative for me! Thanks!

[@robertjackson9601]

Nice tour Pete. wish you would do more of these in N. Fl.

[@vintagetrishgarden]

Great video and wonderful to see Renea's design-she kept reminding me of Jamie Lee Curtis :)

[@marcm5006]

Thanks for another great video Pete! You always have such good attitude about everything man.. Your channel is VERY motivating! You have no idea how much you’ve helped me with my back and front yard and just overall plant knowledge! Thank you ! 👊

[@PeteKanarisGreenDreamsFL]

Wow thanks Marc! Just catching this comment. And YOU have no idea how good that feedback feels. That's my whole objective here. Happy New Year buddy!👊

[@marshsees1532]

Hi Pete, thanks for putting these videos together. Great job....love learning about this!

[@jeff6899]

wow...nice...banana's barely in zone 9a ! :) ...looks like they have just enough of a microclimate around them...that open 9a sun is probably a haven for the longevity spinach...now that it has cooled in my 9b desert (but we are STILL well above normal here in Phx, AZ !), mine is growing like crazy...love the video, Pete...as usual !

[@vermontjeff2535]

Great job , your neighbors has to be jealous of your property . I know I am 😁

[@easthillediblegardening5625]

Thanks, Gator Guy. I'm not sure my immediate neighbors get it, but plenty of people out walking around tell me they love it which I enjoy hearing.

[@TruckTaxiMoveIt]

Sheep mulch? Hmmmm, is there such a thing as cat and or dog hair mulch?

[@easthillediblegardening5625]

Hi, Truck Taxi. It's actually "Sheet" mulch! But I suppose you could use sheep's wool if you had an excess!

[@GingerWithHellaSoul]

Permaculture mullet! Lol. I’m guilty of having a front yard food foreSt with a strict HOA, luckily another more respected member also created a food forest in her front yard! It’s better to ask for forgiveness than permission.

[@PeteKanarisGreenDreamsFL]

DAVID KARHU nice! Keep it up👊

[@SouthernSpirit4Life]

Great video Pete!!! Just Subscribed.. SouthernSpirit4Life

[@PeteKanarisGreenDreamsFL]

SouthernSpirit4Life thank you! This north Florida trip was a big hit. I'm currently in Costa Rica filming y'all some epic permaculture sites.
