One more time! Every year I rewatch your videos for the upcoming season…❤❤❤

[sunshinejenny]

I agree! They should have a separate label for intense FL sun. I have found that if a plant label says full sun/partial shade, plant it in partial shade in FL.

I made the mistake of trying to start my tomatoes too early. The heat and the rain just made them shrivel and disappear. I'll try again in a few weeks. Thanks for all the information. Very helpful. :)

Omg I'm so happy I found you, I live in Clearwater, Fl and I have been trying to grow tomatoes for two years with no luck💜🤩😍😘

[jtshannon]

So glad your video popped up in my feed. This is a great channel for Floridians.

I live in port saint lucie. And maybe I got lucky but I got 10-12 large cherry, and 3-4 purple cherokee through the summer. Been pulling large cherries off the vine for the last 3 weeks. Plant them as DEEP as possible.

Hi! Like the video! Would you be able to make a video series about growing tomatoes and peppers in central/south Florida? From starting seeds, prepping garden beds, treating pest organically, etc. I am a central Floridian and would appreciate any tips/tricks!

[trulylynn]

I grow mine in containers and they are great. I use the self watering so the tomatoes get the water from the bottom. Gardening by Leon has some good ideas here on YT.

I'm in Titusville. Thank-you for being here! ❤️

[donnaquillen]

I bought seeds from Florida Seed in Lakeland, Florida grown. My first time. Store bought plants, terrible crop. Excited I found you! I live in Homosassa.

Hello from Plant City. First time gardener. Starting with tomatoes LOL. Very glad I found your channel.

[ortizurbangarden]

This is awesome! I have to say that your videos have really been helping me start my garden. I used the UF IFAS website recently to help me pick varieties of tomatoes to buy. I did buy some Everglades seeds because you mentioned them 😊 I also had picked a full sun spot to plant them but now I’m rethinking because of your advice here. I live in Wesley Chapel so I’m too far from you. I’m a little limited on choices though for my tomato plants though because I live in a townhouse with an HOA so they may end up getting full sun just because I don’t have much of choice.

Wonderful! First year growing more than “pear”. Whoa Nellie!!! Figured out the hard way to when to harvest. So tire of the bugs and squirrels. Harvesting now (mid-June). Never planting again this early. Love your videos

Love your channel! I'm from St Petersburg - my grandma lived on 3rd Ave north

Great video. Your a natural at this video teaching thing. I live in Englewood just below you and have great success with my sweet taters and okra. (Raised beds) I prefer slicing tomatoes so I get them to grow but not big yields even with pruning. I gotta try some cherries. Sounds like less work. The other thing that grows well here is bok choy. Delicious! Perfect fall veggie to consider. Seeds grow quick and 45 so days to harvest.

[sunshinejenny]

Yes, I would like to see some videos about harvesting seeds in a variety of veggies and flowers. That would be awesome. "Tomato Groove" -- made me laugh. "Get Your Tomato Groove On" should be one of your wearables.

[laurenrhoads]

Very informative. Keep up the good work

Hi, I live in Central Florida. Seminole county. When can I start planting my tomatoes ?

[amandaritzau]

Im CACKLING! i do that all the time! "Is that a weed something i want?" My husband asked me "whats that" in my butterfly garden and my response was idk... i put something around there, but that could be a weed... im just waiting to see if the bees/butterflies like it ;)"

You don’t need background music. It’s very distracting
