- Papaya is one among my tropical fruits and vegetables that I am experimenting on growing here in So. Carolina. This video will show the unexpected result. Please watch the entire video for more information.
I'm in west central Florida, about an hour north of Tampa. We had 24° this winter and everything survived but had to chop the papya down to shoulder height. Hope it grows back. Even if I don't get fruit, it's a beautiful tree and helps with some shade.
i was wondering what happened to you. last night i noticed you hadn't posted on your cooking (and gardening) channel for 5 months. glad to see you are alright.
I do appreciate that you are patiently following both of my channels' activities. Thank you very much.
Those papaya are huge. Hope all goes well with your move. Great to see Mig in the video again. Take care Jo.

Hello Chuck. The move is keeping us very busy. Many upkeeping are still being done on both houses. We are still trying to keep the garden work in the picture. Thank you, so nice to read a comment from you.
I love that you got such a great harvest in our zone!! You and your husband are an inspiration!
I own a small farm in Clarendon County, SC and Williamsburg County. Do you do farm tours? Id love to learn from you. Ill be planting some next year!
Thank you for the invitation. Unfortunately, the extent of my activities at present are very limited. I'd appreciate any question you might have, and I will do my very best to answer them.
What is the coldest temperature the Papayas experienced in the winter in the greenhouse last winter? Also did the ones outside survive? Did you protect them with anything during the cold spells?
I want to grow in 8b Columbus GA. I got on CZcams to see if anyone else had. You give me hope!!
Good afternoon Jo. Great to hear from you again. I thought you had moved to the Philippines. We hope to return this year. We had hoped to return last year as well. All we can do is pray. Stay well. Best wishes Bob.
What a wonderful idea Bob. However, I will not be traveling too far for a good while yet. I, however, am praying and hoping for you and Mel to finally make your move to the Philippines. I will be very happy to see you both settled there. Will keep praying and hoping for the best.
Thank you Jo. It seems to depend on the pandemic as of now. We are praying. Stay well our friend.
Hi what variety of papaya ??? I would like to grow these
Wowsa
What do you do in the winter to protect the ones in ground?
Can you please show us how you cook it tell me? I have papayas fruiting now (2 plants grew out of the compost bin) waiting until they get ripe in zone 9b.Thank you!
In my cooking channel "JoCanCook" I believe I have at least two recipes using green papaya. I will try to introduce another recipe soon as a find time. Let me know if you tried any of those recipes from my cooking channel. I will be presenting several recipes using papaya.
PAPAYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!
I'm glad you like papaya :-D
Impressive
How are your papaya doing now? With the cold.
I had a couple of cold nights in the low thirties and the leaves are wilted looking. The tree is about 4 feet tall in a container. You think it will comeback and survive?
Plants in a container oftentimes require more and careful attention. If it's outdoor, I suggest that you bring it indoor. Give it good watering of tepid water mix with fish emulsion and kelp extract. 1 gal. water and .5 tsp kelp extract, .5 tsp fish emulsion. If it's already indoor do the same treatment. I suggest that the indoor temperature is no less than 60 degree fahrenheit. Good drainage is a must. If the tree bounce back allow the soil to the dry a little then repeat the treatment doubling the amount of fish and kelp extract.
Another question what is your secret in growing beautiful papayas
Careful watering and fertilizing are important. However, because it is my intention to share what I do to keep my garden healthy and productive, I don't believe I have any secret as far as my gardening methods. I am more than happy to share everything I know and is learning in my organic garden. If I do, however, unintentionally neglected to share any method and process, I do try to mention it on another video. Thank you. I truly appreciate your question.
What is the name of your cooking channel
JoCanCook, Thank you.
When do you top your papayas
