Biscuits in the mailbox heheh. How did you make a hillbilly character so sexy? Props and great video
Good stuff, made me laugh
Okay you are hilarious! You need to be my neighbor😂😂😂
You are so right I am in North Lauderdale Florida I have 8 gray's beds and I have been attempting this gardening thing for the last 3 and a 1/2 years and I can tell you it is frustrating and challenging the bugs the aphids is just a nightmare and I try to stay organic I do my best and still it's a problem I didn't know the first year that gardening in Florida starts in September and not in June that was a hard lesson the first year Anyways I'm 3 and a half years in and I am still struggling to get a good harvest
Homegrown Florida Boy here who just got addicted to gardening. I gotta admit. This was REALLY funny. I came for the info but stayed for the humor. Decent southerner impression, useful information, and entertaining. Great vid. Look forward to the next one :)
thanks
Loved this video and message... great humor Pat Wild.
Hi, i have a few of those ugly grasshoppers, and it makes me not want to go to the yard. Any suggestions.
Thanks for incorporating humor into gardening! I nearly spit out what I was drinking when she said snowbird season!! 😂😂😂
What kind of Molasses is used? Does it matter which brand I use??
Brand or type doesn't matter, but if you want to grow organic use organic.
what should I do with my lemon tress which I recently planted? do they need cover too because they are expose to the sun all day long here in Tampa.
Florida has the best growing of all states. I owned three nurseries and this state has a very large agricultural industry
Pat wild seems like a good time.
Most of the exotic tropicals will freeze in the winter in NW Florida...Zone 8B and 9a plus the soil is sand or clay very little organic matter.
I like the sting.
You're a maniac! lol
@@foreverfoodforest no. I'm a sherece.
Was just thinking today that I want to make merrigold garden spray! Was thinking dehydrate it them make a tea...strain and dilute 🤔
You can skip dehydrating and go straight to making Jadam Liquid Fertilizer with them. The molasses method doesn't work with flowers as they don't have enough liquid to extract via osmosis.
This was beyond hilarious and made me feel so good at all my hopeless gardens and wretched CSA’s I’ve joined! I thought we all were doing it wrong! Jk, I knew it was Florida because I lived in NC for a brief time and the produce there was amazing!! So what does that leave us? Indoor veggie towers? Or just live close to a Whole Foods or co op?
Hi, beautiful garden
Hi and thank you! Very informative video. Question: where did you get Ashwagandha plant? I am in south Florida.
We started it from seed. You can get Ashwagandha seeds from Southern Seeds ($1.95 for 30 seeds). I like their seed catalog because I feel like their seeds do much better in our climate.
Thank you I will give it a go Keith the Blind Gardner
Wonderful!
The good health of my pepper plants did not deter the 6 tomato hornworms that devoured almost 90% of 5 big healthy plants (habanero, red habanero, piquin, 2 ghosts and a reaper). BYT, the stress of defoliation caused them all to rebound into better plants than before ! Fruiting like crazy. Picked 1st hab today. Defoliation works on Japanese maple bonsai, as well. Thanks!!!
Thanks! Learned something new today!
I'm glad to have found this, as a person trying to do container gardening in Orlando and totally getting my a55 kicked, I can use the help.
Thanks for watching! Check out a video I posted about 2 weeks ago showcasing 10 plants for container gardening in FL.
Loved this so fun! And informative. Thank you
Which zone in FL do you live?
Central FL - 9B
My garden is suffering from slugs would this help?
Worth a try! This works on most soft body insects.
This is great! We're also in Florida and my wife has spent quite a bit of time and effort trying to grow tomatoes on our sandy sandy soil. Needless to say, it goes ok sometimes or nothing. Hearing about this nutrient rich solution we can make at home is just great. We've started working on our soil, but this little tid bit should put us in much better shape than we have been so far.
Thank you for watching! This works great for tomatoes especially as a soil drench because it provides nutrients and helps control root knot nematodes.
Awesome, thank you! I don’t have any nettles - any suggestions on where to find them, or do you know any commercial sources?
Great Question! They're a resilient weed and depending where you live, you can forage for them in nature. They usually grow in the shade along stream banks and other wet environments. In Florida, they're a little harder to find in the wild so I grew my own from seed and cuttings.
@@foreverfoodforest OK great! I’ll check with the county landscaping folks, maybe they’ll know where some is👍
This was a nice treat gardening with an awesome sense of humor!
Is your sister voting? She should just Hawk Tuah on those crops for optimal growth.
Hey Christina Lovely. And the info too. Thanks.
You're so welcome!
I have a question. You say at the end; 1oz of concentrate and 1 gallon of water. Buy in the video you’re only using 4 cups. What is it exactly?
1:23 nice raccoon!
Use used coconut for compost
What does your house smell like when baking those egg shells please share 🙏 Love this video! Thanks you ❤
Good. Please, can i have a private talk with you? My question is private.
Omg thank you so much for this video. I couldn't understand why my tomatoes and peppers kept dying
Thank you for mentioning the lizards … great roaches hunters!
So much nicer than the heck scape of Miami! Not the beaches but the rest of Miami.
Is there any type of rhubarb that will grow in Florida?
I like that half wild 😂
Thank you for a fun video. We Floridians, love our nature and weather. The outsiders are the ones complaining! I garden no matter the temperature, if one starts early, the body acclimates and the rest of the day is a breeze!
You think Florida is bad? Try Southern California High Desert. Growing in native soil here is damn near impossible for a garden.
We got mostly sugar apple trees (in containers), star fruit trees, sapodilla, figs, banana and dragon fruits and a curry tree 😁
I'm in NW Florida, previous owner of our home planted Fig and Loquat trees. The figs are always awesome when they get rip and we have to race to get to them before the birds eat them all. The loquats are so good when we do get them but the past two seasons they haven't had as much fruit. The fig and Loquat trees also do much better in our cold snaps we get, unlike the Lemon and peach trees we've lost due to a ice storm a few years back.
Fig heist 2024 🤣
Cute video. One thing... In NE FL we have ALKALINE soil, not even close to acidic. 5.,000 years ago, Florida was under the sea. Sea water ph is 8.0. The "soil" ph is about 7.3 in our area. Did you misspeak? It is a constant battle to get the soil ph to 6-6.5 here using vinegar, wood chips, pine bark and elemental sulfur. My 5 citrus trees are doing much better now that we figured out that they like acidic soil.
