Thank you for your garden planning e-book and all of your help.
You are so welcome!
I downloaded your planner and I thank you so much for all the work you did on it and sharing it with us. I love it. thank you thank you!!! I am from Jacksonville FL
You are so welcome! I’m glad you like it.
Marketmore 76 Baker creek are such a wonderful cucumber just like the ones that you buy in the stores
I’ve been meaning to try that one out.
Hi, great content. Very helpful. I found Amish paste tomatoes have been very productive for me in S. Fl.
Thank you! I tried those before and they did good but not amazing for me. Might have just been a bad season. I’ll have to try them again.
My borage did fantastic in the top tier of my green stalk! Lots of pollinators visiting them and then visiting the rest of the green stalks
I’m trying out in my bed this year. I think my GS is too shaded.
The honeycomb hybrid is a favorite of mine to grow in the Tampa Bay Area.
Yeah! I’m definitely doing that one then.
Im a new subscriber. I live in Apopka 9b, I wish I would have found your channel 3 years ago when I started my garden. you explain things so much better than the other Florida youtubers that I have watched. Thank you! ❤❤❤
So nice of you. I’m glad you found my channel 💚
I need to work on my plans! Cheers! New sub!
Thanks for the sub!
I had so many radish leaves this year that I saw a recipe online for radish leaves pesto it turned out to be fabulous instead of using pinuts I used walnuts and pecan's and of course I put it in a Mason jar and vacuum sealed it I'm telling you it was delicious
Oh wow. That does sound amazing
Could you please share the link to your radish leaves pesto? Thank you.
I can't remember off hand now but there are plenty on the internet just look CZcams it
Another great video, of course. I watched it through but will watch it again with my notebook. Looking forward to planting for spring. I just ordered a few seeds. I would like to try peas. My garden is doing great so far. Garlic & potatoes seem to be thriving. My lettuce, kale, arugula tomatoes & carrots are providing me with lots of delicious meals. Thanks again for all your advice.
Glad you enjoyed it! It sounds like your winter garden is thriving 💚
Great strategies, thanks.
You bet
Petrina, this video is off-the-charts good! Sipping on a cup of hot tea and watching your process in action was simply a delight. I don’t have nearly the planting space that you do yet, but definitely hope to grow (pun intended)! Please keep up the video journaling, stay as consistent as you can, and if you are able, include how you deal with the challenges as they arise. It may be unique to your garden, but it’s still quite helpful.
Wow, thank you! And I definitely will 💯
I am blown away! Thank you for taking the time to share how your thought process. I love starting (too many) seeds and I do it well but then I always have a hard time trying to figure out where they go and what's already there... This has already made it easier and aligning the confusion and I'm only half way through the video.
That’s awesome 💚 Glad it was helpful!
I commented above, but I can’t help but come back on here to comment once again. I sat down the other day and planned out my garden like you did in the video and I am so thankful that I did that and I am so thankful for this video. I have a plan and it just helps take the stress off and I don’t have to think about it anymore. I just follow the plan. Thank you.!
I’m so glad! A little time spent up front really saves a ton of time through the gardening season.
Wow! New subscriber here in SoCal 9b and you just knocked my socks off. Great success so far this winter with broccoli, deer tongue and romaine lettuces, spinach, bush beans, lacinato kale, short day onions coming along nicely and I started my fav sweet pea flower seedlings. Can’t wait to follow your garden progress.
Welcome friend! That’s awesome. Sounds like you are having a lot of fun. Great job 👏
Thank you for this video its so helpful. Desiree
You are so welcome!
Hi from down here in South Florida. I sat through 11 seconds of advertisements so I can watch some of your video. So I hope your monetization level is matching what I had to suffer through, best wishes and happy growing.
I noticed YT seems to have changed their ads recently. When I watch them, I’m getting 30 second ads. I am monetized but haven’t noticed any difference from these ads
Hey if you don't like CZcams ads, then you can pay for a CZcams subscription. Otherwise, basically all CZcams videos have ads. Are you really complaining about an 11 second ad she gave you a whole hour of free information? She put hours of her time into this video to share free information with you, but you complain about an 11 second ad 😑 I'm sorry but you shouldn't sweat the small stuff and you could be saying thank you to her instead
You can use the skip when it shows up and not listen it thru.
Best hour spent planning, thank you so very much. My garden isn’t as big as yours but you just helped me plan for Spring! You are very thorough and informative. I really appreciate you and all the work you do. Thanks for sharing.
You are so welcome! I’m glad you enjoyed
Another great video❤. I also have way to many tomato and pepper seeds!
I think it’s a requirement of all gardeners to have way too many tomato seeds 🤣
I grew Anaheim chili peppers last year and they were very mild. I dehydrated them to use a base for my chili powder mix. Aji Dulce peppers are very small, sweet and thin skinned used in Puerto Rican cooking. I grow them for my husband. Last year I tested a few San Marzano tomatoes from different seed companies. Johnny’s Seeds did the best. St. Clare Roma tomato seeds also did well. As for bell peppers, I’m growing red, yellow, and orange California Wonder. The reds were phenomenal for me last year. If I need green peppers I’ll just pick them off those plants before they mature.
That’s what I do too! Sometimes I’m too impatient to wait for them to ripen lol
Thank you Trina for giving us great ideas how to fill out our planners. I got one for Christmas. I love how organized you are😁I wrote down several goals for my garden. I’m working on my Blackberry set up with the T post trellis and everything I’m growing several in grow bags 25 gal. Bags. That was another Christmas present. 😂 I’m praying they do well🙏🥹
I love garden Christmas presents! I got a new trellis and I’m so stoked
😂🤣😂 all I ever get for my birthday Or Christmas is garden or yard tools. This year was a machete for the banana plants. My next request is a rain gauge.
@@janicemoyer854 my family sometimes doesn’t even know what the tools are 🤣🤣🤣
Thats why i make the suggestions ’hint hint’ ‘wink wink’ 😂
I love eggplants. I would love for you to try my eggplant then you will start growing them.
Please send me the recipe!
I’m growing eggplants for the first time and I’d love the recipe also!
Petrina, this helped me so much! As a new gardener, it was so easy to follow you as you went through your planning and reasoning for what to do when. Tremendous help, Thank you so much!
What about the companion planting though? How do I know when to plant the green onions, parsley, etc?
Great question, you can start them in trays at the same time you start your tomatoes. They tend to grow a little slow at first but they should catch up my the time your tomatoes go in the ground.
@@HomegrownFloridaZ9a thank you!
Glad you are so organized. Been doing it for 55 years by the seat of my pants. A little chuckle on egg plant since I was somewhat the same way but had a bumper crop this year. Got Italian neighbors plus made up some pickled Sicilian egg plant and then made an egg plant pesto which turned out to be a real hit for a sandwich spread. So it will be in this years garden
I might have to try that eggplant pesto. Do you have the recipe?
I would let your watermelons grow out of the corners of the beds. Then you can move the green beans over 1 bed. This is a great video, I appreciate seeing your thought process!
Thanks for the tip!
i live in hernando county florida and i grew better boy beef steak tomato and it grew 8 foot tall! and they produced good size tomatoes and tasted great!
Awesome! I’ll definitely be growing those
Thank you Petrina for trying the heirloom tomato seeds I sent you. I planted the everglade seeds you sent me back in September and I'm harvesting these sweet delicious tomatoes every day while my other tomatoes are just now starting to produce. Thank you for sharing your spring growing plans and tips. I've got one more bed to fill and I'm trying cantalope for the first time this year so Im going to put them in that last bed. Happy gardening in 2024 Donna in Sarasota. 😊
Thank you for sending them! The lemon basil did amazing and it’s still producing. Can’t wait to see how the purple tomatoes do. I’m so glad you are enjoying the Everglades 💚
@@HomegrownFloridaZ9a my neighbors love them too. I hope your garden isn't getting hammered with this storm that's making its way across Florida right now. I keep running g outside to check on my garden especially my shade tunnel. Everyone is under a tornado watch right now. Stay safe.
@@user-hz7kv6js6l yeah it was pretty crazy. I had a couple tomato branches break but that looks to be the worse.
Thank you so much for walking us through your brain work... hahahaha. I loooove gardening, but my backyard right now is almost completely shaded by a mango tree, avocado tree and cuban lime tree... so... I'll have to think extra hard and research to find what can grow with minimal direct sunlight.
Thanks for your time and effort, it's really nice to watch someone "local". God bless you and your gardening efforts!
I’m so glad you enjoyed. FYI that the green leafy veggies don’t seem to mind lots of shade.
I am in zone 9A and I just found your your videos. I am in Palm Coast Florida.
Welcome neighbor 👋
What a beautiful seed selection 😍
So nice of you
My winter garden is doing great. The garlic is thriving and Im excited to harvest it when its ready. I love eggplant especially with a tomato slice. I fry them. Feel you on the corn. I had a horrible time last summer with mine.
This is my third year for my asparagus so I get fresh asparagus this year. I also companion planted strawberry with the asparagus too. My pineapples are on second year so I expect a few of them too. Dragon fruit doing well.
I have my container tomatoes in the greenhouse and they are still producing.
I have some teddybear sunflowers Im going to try this year. As well as some wildflowers and marigolds too.
However, I do need to get me a planner. As you saw in my video I row plant most things. I do have a couple raised beds and plan for more. But i do not plan good 😂. I will get the seed box out and start planning soon. I have half my row garden empty.
Got some grape vines going so Im curious to how well they will do. They are dormant now.
I will make another video of my garden progress and put it on my channel. I need to make some more. I just started it and already Im slacking. Been hunting too much.
Great video thanks.
I envy your planning 😂
Can’t wait to see it. I’ve been a planner my whole life, lol. I feel like it helps me to use my space most effectively since I don’t have a large space. At least that’s what I tell myself 🤣
Best video ever!!!! Thank you! This was so incredibly helpful, and I know that you had to have done a ton of prep work to make such a valuable video! I somehow had the idea that you had to plant many of the same variety rather than 1 or 2 of each variety, such as your peppers and tomatoes! I will be re-watching this, at least 1 more time, but I am guessing more than that.
I do have a question - about how long can you store your unused seeds? I had thought they were to be used up in 1 year or they would have a poor germination rate.
Good question. Seeds do start to degrade over time but it depends on the veggie. Onions about 2 years but tomatoes about 7 years. Even seeds that go “bad” faster will still germinate. They will just have a much lower rate so you may need 3-4 seeds per cell versus 1-2. They keep longer if they are kept at room temperature (vs super hot or super cold) and away from light (no clear packaging). MIGardener resurrected a tomato seed 30 years old so seeds can last a long time.
@@HomegrownFloridaZ9a Thank you! Happy to learn I don't have to trash old seeds!
Thanks so much for sharing. I am a transplant to northern Florida from "up nort". Getting ready to plant some tihngs this month!
Welcome to Florida! Spring gardens are a lot of fun down here.
You will love the ability to grow things almost all year with no assistance. I had to learn seasons just refer to amount of rain and intensity of sun here, not the same up there in the frozen tundra. Happy growing!
I have just started watching your show on Utube and I cannot believe how much you have taught me in 2 days…!!!
Where can I purchase the garden planner that I see you using?
It’s actually FREE! There should be a link in the description of my videos to request for it to be sent to you.
Top suggestion for a melon would be the Kajari melon. (if I spelled that right) I got my seeds on etsy from jerras garden.
I e heard of that one before. I’ll check it out. Thank you!
I’ve tried so many types of tomatoes here in south Florida. Like Naples /ft.Myers area. And I’ve never had great luck like I am right now. I started them in November and I’ve finally gotten a very large beefsteak tomatoes. I think they hate the humidity here. Good luck sweetie. I love your videos!
That’s so awesome! I’m having a great tomato season too.
This was great planning. Loved being part of your thought process. I have a newbie question: should I expect that my fall/winter garden of tomato plants, eggplants,broccoli and collards will not make it thru to my spring transplanting mid feb, for space planning purpose? Also never plant same type of family in same spot? I have it all scattered in my 2 beds. I’m in Zone 10a. And I used your planner last year and loved, so will help me review where I planted etc. being a former IT PM for man years 😊 Soooo helpful!!!
They should make it to spring but they might slow down. I always like having extras ready in case they get pests or disease. Also if you are where frosts occur that could take out the tomatoes and eggplants. I was in IT too and did a lot of work with PMs but I bet you could probably tell, lol
@@HomegrownFloridaZ9a thank you. And yes I can tell 😉
I read recently that root knot nematodes feed on signet marigolds so you may want to research which variety of marigolds to grow if you have to deal with RKN.
I did some research on this and landed on French tangerine marigolds as the best for RKN. I’ve been growing that variety around my peach tree just in case.
I started all my hot peppers on 1121 I've got habaneros I've got shashitos I've got I have fish peppers I have fish peppers And tobacco peppers they're A little over a month and a 1/2 old and they're doing quite well I decided to start early because of course as you know I'm in zone 10B and my summer start's probably in June so I don't have too many more months to go to get this going
.
I had great success with my tomatoes this winter so far I've got reasoning Napa valley chardonnay blue cream yellow pair just growing really really well and Roma tomatoes
I have 8 bushes of broccoli.. 6 purple coal Robbie 6 Lakes and a whole bunch of dicon Ratish's JQ cumbers straight 8 cucumbers and Chinese eggplants whole bunch of variety of eggplants I have 8 tomato plants as well purple and red and so I'll let you know how things are going so far everything's growing nicely
That was supposed to say 8 tomatillio plants
Kohlrabi
Jade cucumber
Sounds like it’s going amazing! Wow great job 👏
...shashitos peppers 🌶 - one has to careful when pronouncing this...
...anyways, I am trying to extend the growing season for Tomatoes 🍅 here in Daytona Beach ⛱️ : THE WORLDS MOST FAMOUS BEACH! as our Motto says ;
...any variety you know of that can get me thru the Heat of the Night 🌙 here in the Good Olde Summertime will be lovely...
Great video! Very helpful. I've been gardening for about a year now and the planning overwhelms me. I like your process. I'm curious what you do with all your peppers? Also, I had a major problem with stink bugs on my tomatoes last spring. Thank you for the tip of growing green onions with the tomatoes. How heavy do you plant the green onions to be affective?
I freeze them chopped and grab handfuls for meals. Chili, pasta, stir fry… Stink bugs are terrible. Go very heavy with seeding the onions. Don’t try to space them properly.
Love this, super helpful for me! My first bed of winter veggies is going well and I’m just finishing up my second of spring veggies now so this really helps. Any chance you could share a link for the fencing you are using in the first bed? Thanks 😊
I got mine years ago so I can’t find the exact kind but this would be similar. You can get it in a bunch of different sizes depending on how wide you need it - amzn.to/3tzyEZz
@@HomegrownFloridaZ9a thank you! I’m going to try this
If you like the san marzano you might try the Amish paste, for me in 9b it produces a bit more then the san marzano
I’ve tried that one in the past and it did good but I’m looking for the crazy producer!
If you want a tomato plant that cascades maybe the cherry falls tomato would work for you. I have no idea how well it does in Florida but botanical interest sells it. I’ve been considering it for my green stalk but first I am trying dwarf beauty king tomato from Jerra ‘s garden. She has seed company based in Orlando
I’ll check it out. I’ve been meaning to get some of Jerra’s seeds. I’ll have to do a little shopping soon
@@HomegrownFloridaZ9a I’ve just discovered her channel recently and ordered some sweet potato slips from her as well
LOL New Subscriber here & I'm totally with you, I don't like eggplant either! It is a member of the nightshade family, which, like tomatoes, are known to cause inflammation in the body. Many people do love them though. Your channel is wonderful!
Thanks for the sub and welcome!
Hello! This is wonderful, what planner are you using? I am in central Florida and have been looking for a good garden planner, thanks!
It’s my free garden planner ebook. There should be a link in the description of the video to request your own copy to download. Enjoy!
@@HomegrownFloridaZ9a thanks!
Hi. I just started planting and not sure what to do with some of the stuff, how to harvest and things like that.. I'm in Gainesville appreciate any advice😁
What specific plants are you growing? Are you trying to know how to harvest or cook with them?
Do you have tips on beans ? Ive tried green beans they did ok but id like to try new ones but im unsure. Im in zone 10b
I haven’t done one on green beans yet but I did one on fry beans which start very similar. I’ll put the link below. Probably the biggest suggestion is to use inoculant when you plant your beans. czcams.com/video/aWJHv1pL0jc/video.htmlsi=xbLqyKO8adkzYv3M
Where do you order your seeds from? How do you perserve the seeds you do not use?
I like the urban harvest, flgardening.com, MIGardener, southern exposure and bakers creek. I just keep them inside the A/C in a dark closet and they last for years.
Newbie here The used seeds how do you store them to use again in the future ?
I usually use up my seeds within 3 to 5 years, so I just keep them in an air-conditioned environment in a dark place like a closet
Hi, can you please share the name of the place that sell the corn.? Im from central Florida. Thank you.
Home Depot usually has Silver Queen corn but you could also get it from flgardening.com
A while ago i sent you a message about a fig tree that I grew from a twig a friend gave me that grew to 12 feet high and 8 ft wide and how we go 36 jars of fig jam from it. We are trimming it soon and I would like to know if you want to trade a twig from your Maringa tree for a twig from my fig tree? We live in Saint Cloud Florida so the climate should be the same.
Hi Jose. Can you email me at petrinahomegrownflorida@gmail.com
Any ideas where I can buy peppercorn seeds from a reputable seller? I’m in Brevard County. Thank you!!
I never thought to grow it but I just researched and here is a reputable place to get them - territorialseed.com/products/black-pepper-vine
@@HomegrownFloridaZ9a thank you! I’m having a hard time finding a reputable seller. Not comfortable with Etsy or Amazon.
yeah. amazon is my last choice. etsy is okay if i know them.
Not sure if you allow your flowers go to seed, but in the event that you do, how do you maintain your garden if you change your plans. I change my locations of where I plant things because they do not always work out or soil needs to be amended or bed need to be replaced. I allow all of my plants to go to seed and the seeds always tend to drop or pop.
I do the same so if something pops up in an area that I don’t want it, I pull it like it’s a weed. Also, you can wrap tule around the top of your flowers so that if the seeds drop they’ll drop into the tule and not into the bed.
You look like Jenna Lyons ( i think thats her name) from Real Housewives of New York City
I’ve had a couple people tell me that, lol
