One thing to help keep your garden tools, and gloves close and dry is I put up a large mailbox 📬 that I had extra in the middle of my yard / garden. No need to look for anything I know exactly where it all is.👍🤝💥
you had me as a subscriber as soon as I hear "got this seeds at the dollar store" 😂 that's where I got mine from and was looking how to grow them in containers 🤩
Hello Anthony it still amazes me how these happenings occur. Thank you so much for watching. I am manifesting growing success for you and your wife. Be well ❤️
I also live in Florida zone 9b. Our sandy soil has made it very difficult to grow until I discovered compost at the local landfill. They used to deliver it in a huge truck, but now I have to go get it. They make it from all the bags of leaves and tree limbs set out every week. Nearly my whole garden is now containers and one thing I started doing early on is to put earthworms in every one of them. It turns out that earthworms thrive in my containers. Although it does get really hot here, I love that I get to grow all the year long. I happened to find you while scrolling through the suggested and now you have a new subscriber. Today I’ll be starting sugar baby watermelons, too. Thanks for sharing. I’ll definitely be following your garden adventures.
Thank you for watching and subscribing. I need to check for a free local compost option. Our lawn items get mixed in with the regular trash in my area. I love to know how your watermelon journey progresses.
Yes I love gardening so much. I was so shocked to see seeds at dollar tree for 25 cents mind you my new friend I had purchased 120 dollars worth of seeds at Lowe’s never again. Love your personality new subscriber keep it up🥰
Thanks do much!! I too could not believe it. At first I thought they would have a low germination rate but that has not been the case. I too have paid tons at Lowes and Home Depot. Now I go to the Dollar Tree first. Thanks for watching and subbing!!
@@sbf_fl Yes very..very smart that’s what I’ll be doing now dollar tree first. I look forward to more videos and you from the south too that’s perfect my zone. Happy gardening💕🙌🙌🦋🦋🦋
Enjoyed your video on planting the sugar baby watermelon in tub I purchased some seeds and I’m gonna give them a try, thanks for video and info, God Bless
Blessings, I am a new subscriber, The Creator had me find u while perusing garden videos, drawn to ur pleasant energy. I will continue to view ur content as I enjoyed this video. Peace
Your voice is like melted butter on warm toast. So smooth and soothing lol. So happy I saw your page in my suggestions. I don't have my own place yet but I'm using all your gardening tips to create my own oasis when I do! #newsubscriber 🤓☺
Thanks for the video! I'm definitely going to be ordering me one of those Garden belts today. And I'm trying my hand at the sugar baby watermelons this season as well.
I am about to plant my watermelon seedlings in exact same way in the same container! I really enjoyed hearing your voice is very calm and soothing and I will definitely subscribe to your Channel
I enjoyed your video thanks for sharing.I’m growing watermelon for the first time ever this year and mine will also be in a container. You’ve got wonderful watermelon weather so you will be snacking on watermelon this summer way before me😁.
My grandmother used make pickled watermelon rind. I haven't had any since. I loved them. I plan on growing watermelon in 20 gallon grow bags. I've watched several videos and read many blogs on subject. So I hope it works. I am a new subscriber today.
You are so right. The 20 gallon grow bags work perfectly. It is the smallest size I have ever used. I too love the pickled watermelon rind. Thanks for watching and subbing!!
Hello. New to your channel. I’m in zone 9 New Orleans La. I enjoyed watching your channel today. I have subscribed and look forward to more info. Keep up the good work. I’ll be watching more of your videos
Hello Steffie!! Welcome to the family!! Thank you and thanks so much for watching. I have subscribed to your channel as well and look forward to watching over the next few days. Blessings to you and your gardening!!
Great video I love it! I'm too, trying to grow my own food. It. Is challenging but at the same time rewarding. Im going to try grow watermelons. I subscribed to your channel. Blessings from Orlando Fl!!
Thank you for this video! Gave me the idea to use our old dog kennel that’s cracked because the water can come out...great video although overstand about watermelons. I was thinking about using the tubs to plant something just need to figure it out still...take care
Watching from Australia. I just started gardening a few years ago . I finally got 9 pumpkins on my vines and then the possums ate them all overnight. We live and learn so next year I will bag them in netted bags. Might try watermelons now.
Wow! I had a family of raccoons 🦝 visit my backyard and I didn’t know who had left the garden gate open . Then one day my 2 feet tall ceramic (heavy) water fountain ⛲️ had the top half flipped on the concrete pathway and cracked into several pieces. I couldn’t figure out how that happened. Sure enough when I saw them grizzly raccoons I put it together. Now I’ve been spraying garlic infused in hot water outside of my gate so they’re discouraged.
Its my 1st year 2 grow sugar baby watermelons. So excited!! Some are growing in my son's old car tires LOL. Then I have some n the ground. New sub here. Peace n blessings 🙏🏽🕎
New subscriber. Thank you for your knowledge. I’m growing sugar babies this year as well. Do you have a video on growing collard greens? Blessings to you and your family 🙏🏾
This is my first year growing watermelon too and I'm excited to follow along and have a great harvest this year! Though tbh I've tossed my hands in the air with the ever changing seed sowing depth and will just sow at double the length of the seed like I do for everything now lol. Hopefully that won't come back to haunt me this year. So far nothing has failed to sprout so I'm hopeful it's not a mistake. Thank you for the... two year old video!
Hello Iron Druid! I like your method of seed depth. I have found that the most important is that it is covered. I tend to do 1/4 inch for tiny seeds and 1/2 to 1 inch for everything else. Also, sometimes my seeds 2 or more weeks to sprout when the package says 7 days ( i almost threw out a whole tray due to that). Lastly, the packets come with SOOO many seeds so I just try again, lol. Thanks so much for watching!!!! I manifest many blessings for you and your garden!!!
Man i should have used some markers. I planted these same seeds from dollar tree they germinated fine but I'm out there everyday trying to figure out what's a weed and what's from seed. New subscriber here. Looking forward to some of those watermelon updates.
I'm in FL, but will be moving to NC in the near future. Anyway, I have been buying veg seeds from Dollar tree for years! Lol! I've had a lot of luck with many of them. Kale was a real winner from Dollar tree seeds, I would harvest a bunch and it would just keep on growing back for months! What part of FL are you in?
Hello Janice!! I too have recently started buying more and more seeds from Dollar Tree. I am in Miramar. Thanks so much for watching!!! Happy gardening!!!
My neighbor from Germany just gave me a watermelon 🍉 plant in a styrofoam cup. She said to separate the stems before planting. There are at least 2-3 plants she started from seeds. Not sure whether to plant in container or ground. I'll have to see what works in a rainforest climate.
Hello Donna. You definitely have the climate. My biggest challenge is moisture level…keeping the soil moist but not wet. Most watermelon only need a minimum of 1 inch of water per week to be healthy. Best of growing blessings and thanks so much for watching!!!
I tried this last year in about the same container and I also used pure composted cow chit. They did great and I too did 3 plants in one container they grew n grew n grew and produced crazy amount of melons' too! The problem was blossom end rot I just couldn't keep up with adding calcium Then! here in Texas where also gets hot and with all the melons I couldn't keep them watered enough I mean they were drinking 8-10 gallons a day. This year 1 tub 1 plant
@@sbf_fl The foliage did great but It was hard to keep enough water. And notice I said blossom end rot will need lots of fert especially calcium. Notice I said this year I just did one plant per container and in the next few days before the Texas heat hits I will be installing a water system on a timer because Im old and when I get home from work I want to sit my butt down. lol When they set several fruit I will set it to water twice a day. Oh by the way have you seen some of the video's where they sit the melons inside square blocks when small and make the melons grow square? pretty cool
When I lived in California there was a place where you could go and get compost your self. Thay had big piles of soil compost woodchips ,and I dont remember what. This was back in 1980 I think. I took my husbands van and a big trash can. I filled it up , then tryed to lift it up in side the truck. My young sons where with me and between the three of us we got it in. This one raised bed had little plants and a dead one. I pulled it out. Left a big hole so I filled it with compost (mushroom compost) and later the leaves on my little creeping Charlie, went from about a quarter size to 3"-4" And the spider plant had hundreds of babys. I pulled out a spider plant and put it in a pot mabe 30 babys hang out side the pot. I put some Charlie in a basket on the wall . It grew about 3 feet hanging out the basket. Thay were the most beautiful plants I ever grew.
That is absolutely amazing. I wish that we had someplace here in the south florida area that did that. I would definitely take advantage of it. Thanks for watching!!
That is an excellent idea. Waste not, want not. Will definitely start doing this cause I always feel badly cutting off a perfectly good plant. Thanks for watching!!
How did your watermelons turn out in the tote container. I was considering doing watermelons but don’t have the space in my garden so I want to do it in containers. Love this video.
Hello there! Unfortunately, my plants didn’t make it. I believe it was too much rain and inadequate drainage. Also not enough full sunshine with the banana plants. But I am not giving up. I have plant 3 five gallon containers of sugar baby watermelon seeds and the should be germinating shortly. I wish all the best of growing success. Many have been successful and I know you and and I can too. Thanks so much for watching and Be Well!!!
I just came across your video and I too reside in South Florida. I am familiar with the Davie area and would like to get more info on your horse manuer resource. Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Hello…I tried to google maps to get the address because I drive there by sight lol but it looks like it is 11250 Orange Dr in Davie. I hope that helps. Will try to get the ranch name from my buddy. Thanks so much for watching. Much gardening success!!!
Hello there l just came across your channel and l looked at the ‘fig patch’ behind and then listen to you speak and l must ask is your country of origin Trinidad or anywhere in the Caribbean you don’t have to answer that question if you don’t want to l enjoyed your video nonetheless all the best 😃👍
No problem at all... Nope I was born on the best island in the world - Manhattan. However, I can not begin to tell you how many people over the years have asked me the same question. Thanks for watching!!
Thanks for the content! Have you been hearing about the changes that are coming down the pipelines for food production and animal husbandry? Soon it will be illegal to use fertilizer like we are nowadays... as well as produce our own meats...
Those totes make a nice big container but its too bad you cant get a tray for them to collect the drainage water as it would dry out fairly quick if you dont water often.
If you put the totes on chairs, cement blocks, etc and only put drainage holes on one end about an inch from the bottom, you can collect the drainage in buckets to reuse. It like compost tea. Watch CZcams videos from Robbie and Gary.
Great idea. The only thing is I am at 75-77 when I wake and 88-90 by noon. But the deep watering every other day has been doing the trick so far...fingers crossed.
Zone 7b ATL here and I can't germinate watermelon seeds to save my life. I gave up and bought crimson sweet watermelon starts and planted them in my garden. 🍉😛
Sorry to hear that but I too have problems with certain starts so I go to Lowes, Walmart and Home Depot. To me all that matters is that I grow it myself. Thanks for watching and just keep on growing!!
I like how you include the peaceful moments of silence while gardening in your videos
Thank you so much!!
One thing to help keep your garden tools, and gloves close and dry is I put up a large mailbox 📬 that I had extra in the middle of my yard / garden. No need to look for anything I know exactly where it all is.👍🤝💥
That is an excellent idea just like how I place buckets around for trash.
Did you mount the box on a wood or metal post?
That is brilliant!
Good tip
I just did this, put it on a T-post. Easy and sturdy and cheap and easy to move, if I want!
you had me as a subscriber as soon as I hear "got this seeds at the dollar store" 😂 that's where I got mine from and was looking how to grow them in containers 🤩
I didn't even know they sold seeds.
Awesome! Thank you!
I now check Dollar Tree first before going to Lowes, Walmart or Home Depot.
Finally someone who uses a more accessible, affordable option. I’m gonna try this! Thank you! You’re so peaceful to watch! 😊
My wife just came home from the dollar store with the exact same seeds! Then I found you ☺️. Enjoying your videos. Thank you ❤️

I’m just half way on this video and I am loving it already
I grow bush watermelons, cucumbers and cantaloupes in storage totes.
Do you trellis or let run on ground & what do you fertilize with?
What size totes do you use? I am running out of space and what to be as compact as possible
@@sbf_fl I use 20 & 30 gallon storage totes and 17.5 gallon round tubs from Walmart.
This is my first year growing watermelon too and I'm excited to follow along and have a great harvest this year! Though tbh I've tossed my hands in the air with the ever changing seed sowing depth and will just sow at double the length of the seed like I do for everything now lol. Hopefully that won't come back to haunt me this year. So far nothing has failed to sprout so I'm hopeful it's not a mistake.
Thank you for the... two year old video!
Hello Iron Druid! I like your method of seed depth. I have found that the most important is that it is covered. I tend to do 1/4 inch for tiny seeds and 1/2 to 1 inch for everything else.

I didn’t notice this was from March until I read the comments. How are the watermelons doing?
The plants you weed out you can give them away to a neighbor or plant them in a near by park or public space?
That is an excellent idea. Waste not, want not. Will definitely start doing this cause I always feel badly cutting off a perfectly good plant. Thanks for watching!!
I'm so glad I found a zone 10b that relates to our heat and soil. Do you have problems with iguanas?
Yes indeed!! I am fortunate that i am the 2nd house in from the canal and that my neighbors yard is lush with greenery and flowers. LOL
I like how he said watermelon is supposed to be put into a mound, then planted, it grows down etc, etc. Amen! 😆 🤣 😂

Nice video. I'm looking forward to watching your channel grow. I want to transition into gluten free / paleo from keto. 😊
Go for it! I started on Keto but it was too extreme for me. Being hard headed i needed a plan that wouldn't be counter acted if I strayed on occasion.

Those totes make a nice big container but its too bad you cant get a tray for them to collect the drainage water as it would dry out fairly quick if you dont water often.
Drill or melt your drainage holes 1.5/2" from the bottom to hold water for your totes.
@@DragonPrepper great idea
If you put the totes on chairs, cement blocks, etc and only put drainage holes on one end about an inch from the bottom, you can collect the drainage in buckets to reuse. It like compost tea. Watch CZcams videos from Robbie and Gary.
Great idea. The only thing is I am at 75-77 when I wake and 88-90 by noon. But the deep watering every other day has been doing the trick so far...fingers crossed.
Put the totes in kiddie pools and water from below. Add BT to the pool for mosquito control or add feeder fish for cheap and easy aquaponics.
I’m going to try and grow these I’m in Hawaii so weather is good year round pretty much but summertime hottest
That is fantastic. I can make my last planting of watermelon each year in mid October. Thanks for watching!!
My best plant's are growing in forest mulch that I collected from rotted tree, leaves and year's of untouched forest floor.
All natural...pure. Thanks for watching!!
do you have drainage in box as well?
Yes, there are 8 half inch holes spread across the bottom.
awesome! i'm gonna try doing the same :)
Thank you and best of luck!!

On heavy clay here - feeling jealous of your Sandy soil!
Oh my! After watching so many many videos with clay soils I will never complain about sandy soil. Thanks for watching!!
Zone 7b ATL here and I can't germinate watermelon seeds to save my life. I gave up and bought crimson sweet watermelon starts and planted them in my garden. 🍉😛
Sorry to hear that but I too have problems with certain starts so I go to Lowes, Walmart and Home Depot. To me all that matters is that I grow it myself. Thanks for watching and just keep on growing!!
@@sbf_fl thanks and that's so true. My Walmart bought watermelon starts are growing well so I am happy. 😃
I tried the plastic milk jug greenhouse method for some sugar baby seeds, worked great 100% germination on some $.50 WalMart seeds!
@@HomebasedHundo cool, I'll try that method next time! ☺️✅
In ga as well my daughter planted watermelon seeds straight from the watermelon it grew like crazy.
Awesomeness!!
Thanks!!
Nice
Thanks so much for watching…blessings!!!❤️
Seed banks everyone should build, you never know when
If you need to move fast for survival there important.
How is your okra bed doing?
