Each season I get a “how to plant” video of yours and re-Watch. Thank you. 😊

[@TheUrbanHarvest]

Love that!

You are invaluable for Florida growing, thanks much

[@forevercane2714]

Love the help.me and my younger son started 6 weeks ago.

[@pamelafelddergrant]

Just found you while browsing the internet. A+++ for excellent presentation on gardening. I tried to join up, but didn't get the email to download. Lookibg forward to following your info.

[@oksanabear]

my initial thought with my first florida garden was to grow my staples (tomatoes and cucumbers) and try a few new things (herbs and peppers) but i have a couple of extra bags of soil i'm going to experiment with now (carrots and peas). thank you for giving me the information and confidence to play!

[@TheUrbanHarvest]

Yeah happy to hear it!

[@forevercane2714]

Like always thanks. I'm going to just keep trying 🤣.

[@tinal7573]

Love your channel! Glad I found it :)

[@kadybug93]

I wish I found this a few months ago 😭 I planted my carrots a month ago and I’m in Jacksonville and I thought I was planting them early! 🤦🏼‍♀️ I’m going to see what happens but will definitely be trying again in October/November!

[@TheUrbanHarvest]

There's a good chance you'll get a harvest. May just not be quite as big as they could have been.

Aloha Elise! I saved my seeds from.ladt year! I practically need a magnifying glass to see them! I was thinking of mixing them in a bit of soil and spreading that? I saw a KZbin, where he covered his seeds with a board to help keep them moist until he saw them germinate, said they really need to be kept moist. Thanks for your thoughts! Cecily

Hi Elise, I just had to replant my carrots here in Pasco, something came through my garden and dug them up, I don't have all of my garden fenced in, I planted Baker Creeks Chantanay red core, I will cover it this time with some chicken wire and netting over the top, hopefully I can get some carrots this year, I follow you also on Instagram, I would love to visit your garden one day, have a great weekend!

[@TheUrbanHarvest]

I know you do! Love chatting all the time 😊 darn critters!

[@lindachick8889]

Just the video I was looking for! Thank you! You're a good teacher! ^__^

[@TheUrbanHarvest]

Glad it was helpful!

[@fadista7063]

Thank you so much! Going to attempt carrots again here in SW FL, this was very helpful 👍

[@TheUrbanHarvest]

Awesome!

[@andreawaltz1286]

I have a veggie pod here in Central FL, and I'm so clueless. This is helpful. I've planted a lot and harvested nothing yet, lol. I am not sure when lettuce is ready - basically when it looks edible?

[@saltyone4533]

Just found your channel and I LOVE it! Such a wealth of knowledge! My new favorite channel. Thank you Elise!

[@TheUrbanHarvest]

Glad to be able to assist. Happy gardening!

[@reesafitzpatrick7032]

Good to know! I moved here from Colorado & tried growing carrots in summer. As you already figured, it didn't go well. Lol

[@TheUrbanHarvest]

haha, yes in general basically flip flop your seasons.

[@robyoung7923]

Great Info & Idea on carrots. Will succession plant this year! Thanks!

[@TheUrbanHarvest]

Best of luck!

[@cyndibarnett29]

This is great information

[@TheUrbanHarvest]

Glad it was helpful!

[@ChefGracesPlace]

Great video!

[@TheUrbanHarvest]

Glad it was helpful!

[@mariedie8962]

thank you it was informative. Can you talk about eggplant and how to have a success with growing them. I am having a pest problem. I don't know whats eating the leaves. I try neem oil, and i try covering them, the are still getting devoured. Please help.

[@TheUrbanHarvest]

my video on eggplant: kzbin.info/www/bejne/h3_EloJ9jMata9E hard to say on pest without seeing but neem can take time. up to several weeks and covering them if the pest is already there wont slow them down.

[@sarahhawn9028]

Could you do a video on nemotode control? Thanks!!! 🤩

[@TheUrbanHarvest]

Great suggestion! Ill add that to my list I keep.

[@patrickmcdonald6904]

I see a lot about raised beds, but do people ever do below ground beds? Like dig out a bed, wall it with wood, and then fill in with soil? I would think that would help offset the heat right?

[@TheUrbanHarvest]

the wood would rot incredibly fast. and it leaches quicker when mixed with sand.

[@DavidUrbinaFitness]

Excellent video thumbs up 🌱

[@TheUrbanHarvest]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@olgag5385]

I cant grow swiss chart or onions here in north Florida. Not sure why. I grew a couple of carrots last year, trying again this year. Thank you for your videos.

[@TheUrbanHarvest]

Happy to help!

[@lawrenceboerner1002]

is davners carrots a good option? i already bought and planted them but am wondering if its going to be a fruitful as the half carrots you were talking about

[@TheUrbanHarvest]

Danvers is a half long variety. I grow those a lot!

[@seedsandsanity5525]

Hey there! It’s 12-28 and I am in Tampa. Is it too late to plant more carrots every other week? At what date should I stop planing more?

[@TheUrbanHarvest]

They take about 3 months depending on type. I would plant through January. Maybe pick a heat tolerant type and continue into Feb but that would be about it.

[@stillwaters7730]

Thank you for THIS!!!!

[@TheUrbanHarvest]

Sure thing

[@Ali-kk1se]

great video, thank you very much!

[@TheUrbanHarvest]

You bet

[@wendyzamora3752]

Hi Elise. Not sure if this was covered in another video but I was hoping you could help. I live in sw Florida, on well water and have been using water from the well to water my vegetables. Some of my veggies didn’t do so well last season and I’m thinking maybe the water had something to do with that 🤷🏽‍♀️ The only options to water my garden would be that or treated well water and I’m sure treated water would be worst. Is there something I can do to either of these two water options to make them better? I do have a rain barrel but it isn’t big enough to last a long time.

[@TheUrbanHarvest]

you can have it tested for salt content which is the biggest issue with well. Have good drain soil can also help counter balance that.

[@mitflipz4774]

Hi! Ty for the video! How often are you watering your carrots? Thx!

[@TheUrbanHarvest]

I water them same as the rest of my garden. About every other day right now.

[@paulpalmiotto5418]

Hi Elise! Thank you for this informative video. I noticed that you said that growing carrots in summer months will lead to poor root formation. Is this also true for radishes? I have been trying radishes but the roots don’t seem to form. I tried some seeds in late September but they aren’t really forming the bulbous root. Is this because of the Florida weather? Is there a better time to plant them or is Florida just not a good climate for radishes? Thank you!

[@TheUrbanHarvest]

They grow here in fall/winter/spring too. They need cooler weather and consistent watering but aside from that should grow great here.

[@juliannaspor9919]

Where do u get your seeds?

[@TheUrbanHarvest]

Southern exposure for most of them. Baker creek if not. I do have a curated collection of see on my website for variety that grow well in Florida.

[@nikkiholton6318]

What are your favorite half long carrots ?

[@TheUrbanHarvest]

I like danvers, super reliable and good flavor. also scarlet nantes but they have a slightly stronger flavor.

[@forevercane2714]

Trying just not doing well. But as we all know you learn from your mistakes.

[@TheUrbanHarvest]

cool and deep soil. youll get it!
