The best blooming tree for February in Florida has to be the yellow tabebuia (trumpet trees). They’re stunning in full bloom and it’s just around the corner.

Oh yes!!!! There is a pink tab that I see each year. I forgot it usually blooms around this time of year too.

Thank you for the great advice. First year veggie gardener in Zone 9B Houston. Keep those tips coming for us beginners.

The best pollinator thing that I did was adding a few mason bee "houses" Nests" These cute little green and blue bumble bees are everywhere in my yard now.

I really want more fruit this year. I already have mangoes, passion, mulberry, bananas, papaya - already producing. Strawberries, blueberries, pitanga and loquat in the works..

One vegetable I am finding prolific is sugar snap peas. I planted them last month and they are now providing peas. I am also starting my green beans- so they can go in when my brassicas come out. I wish I was more successful with lettuce. I keep trying different varieties, but haven’t found one that doesn’t bolt when we have one warm day. Thanks for the great content as always.

With lettuce, Try a shade cloth or plant in part sun and keep well watered.

My favorite pollinator plants right now in central FL are powderpuffs (calliandra), blue porter weed, jatropha, Panama rose, and camellias. There’s a proven winner’s bidens alba called Campfire Marshmallow but I haven’t seen it in garden stores.

I completely ignored the strong elnino for this year. I started my second crop of Tomatoes way too late. They took nearly two weeks to germinate and now its been two more weeks and thay dont have their second set of leaves! So I am nearly a month behind now. I am digging up my broccoli after 4 harvests and feeding the plants to the chickens. Hopefully this gives the beets that I planted inbetween some vigor. I am actually happy for the wet cool season because With mulching I have not had to water in 10 weeks. Amazing.

Thank you so much! I learn so much from you. I actually take notes as the video plays 😂

Also, check your local farmer's market for starter plants. I get a lot of organic starts there.

Nice dear ❤

Great video, I was supposed to be looking for videos to help me garden in my area and one of your videos came up. I think it was one about wild flowers, and I was like, "Huh, wonder what flowers Jacqueline likes?" Now I have binged a few of your videos and forgot what I was looking into. 😅 See you in Elite.

Good afternoon, where do you get your Seminole pumpkin seeds? Hope you’re having a great day.

Just starting my gardening journey. Is it a must to start your seed trays inside? Can you start your starter trays outdoors?

Wheres that green onion soup recipe 🤤

Do you start seeds inside? If so I would love to see your setup. Do you use grow lights?

Hi. What kind of soil you recommend for growing vegetables. And what brand of compost (if does exist) you recommend as well. My veggies always struggle. I tried every brand in the stores.

Know where I could get my hands on a Barbados cherry? I'm in Tampa...

I have mulberry trees all over my yard, but they are gifts from the birds, so I have no idea of their variety; however, the berries are surprisingly tasty. Any ideas of how I can determine the variety?

If they fruit more than once a year, it's likely Ever bearing Mulberry. They are super easy to propagate, too!

Agree with Melanie. Long berries are probably pakistani mulberries.

Is reclaimed water good for watering a vegetable garden?

You mention you just throw sweet potato’s whole into the ground and mulch? Are these store bought? Is it just like how you plant regular potato’s? I struggled with sweet potato’s this year. I put them into a 25 gallon grow bag and the greens were normal but the roots were very small compared to what I normally see in the store. How has your success been with that method?

I answer most of these questions in this video. kzread.info/dash/bejne/pId7uI9rqcfTpbw.html On why you got lots of greens and not many tubers. A couple of thoughts. 1.... Weren't in the soil for long enough. 2.... Not enough sun light.... 3.... Soil was tooooo good... maybe need sandier soil. Just some things not having seen your set up that might have contributed. Or something else!

I planted Dino kale by seed in my GreenStalk the beginning of January and it has just popped up. Am I doing something wrong?

@WildFloridian

Brassicas can take a couple of weeks to pop up. Also cooler temperatures may have kept them dormant or a lack of water. So overall I think you are doing well.

Will Seminole pumpkin grow in dappled shade?

@WildFloridian

Mine were in some decent shade this last year. Maybe a couple hours of sun. They definitely keep running towards sun. So... it depends how dappled and deep the shade is and do they get any direct sun.

Sweet potato leaves need to be cooked or else you might get stomach issues.

I’m in SFL and my garden does not look anything like yours. I direct seeded several plants in Nov and Dec. nothing is even close to being ready. I’m quite disappointed. We were 10b and 11 now.

Big hug. You all had a bit of a drought this year. Many of my things aren't quite ready. You may find that things take off shortly. Many of my plants were itty bitty and then boom.

She does a lot of transplants vs direct seeding so maybe try more of that in addition to your direct sowing. I’ve always had trouble direct seeding myself, transplants have been my go to.

I sent you a message on Instagram too! Have you ever considered doing client home visits to help plan and design a garden?
