I just scrolled down your comments here, and every one is saying what I was going to say: NO ONE ever talks about weeds except to say, "spray them" or "pull them". What a TREAT to have you list so many of these plants that we all see daily, and not only give names, but other characteristics, too. So many of us see them and ask ourselves what we are dealing with, where did it come from, etc. You could definitely do another of these videos and we would EAT IT UP!

I plan to reference this video when my HOA sends me notices about my "weeds" 😂

[ronrampfel]

In my humble opinion, one of your best videos ever. "They're just weeds.". It's what almost everyone thinks. But they're not. Spurge! Been dying to know the name of that one. Awesome to see someone addressing the detailed side of the less glamorous "everyday plants". I learned so much from this video that I've been Wanting to know.

Thank you! I saved this because it is the BEST FL gardening video on weed ID I’ve ever seen. Usable info and easily identifiable pictures and descriptions. 👏🏻

I’m new to your channel so maybe you do these videos throughout the year…but just wanted to let you know I found thus video SO helpful! We moved to a new house in FL and there are SO MANY different plants growing on our property due to the previous owners planting lots of bird and butterfly attracting plants. This helped me recognize a lot of them!

Once, we found an oak growing up through the hedge that was so big, we decided to plant it in the middle of the front yard as a tree. It's now a real tree, complete with a swing hanging from it.

Great video! Have lived in SE Florida my whole life and am very familiar with those weeds, but never knew the name of most of them. I’ve never seen a video on weeds before, and I really enjoyed learning more about them.

Asiatic dayflower flowers are so yummy. The little 'peas' are sweet. There's a recipe for creamed dayflower peas on the internet, but you'd have to have the patience of a saint to collect them all. This plant isn't invasive in my area, which is east central Florida. In fact, I'd love it if it grew more. I ate bitter melon last night. It was cooked with eggplant and fish and served over rice. It's really common in Asian cooking.

I liked the comment that said " You're my favorite person right now!" Me too! And another who asked for more weed identifiers . If you wanted, feel free to come on over to my house, Bushnell, and stalk around pointing out more awful weed! I am fighting that Gorgeous vine with pretty heart shaped leaves with those potato-y roots....and a spiny Tarzan vine that races up the oaks... We can not fight it Almost 5 years here in Central Florida.
I earned my Master Gardener badge my second year here to try and help me understand Zone 9A Florida versus 9A California. Truly, your video was SO MUCH BETTER! I'm going out now to pull up another 50-100 sweet baby oak PS: I think Biden's Alba is lovely, but seeds, Cheers, Ellen

Best info ever!!
We have noticed the Brazilian pepper popping up all over our neighborhood ..

Just moved to FL in the spring and felt so lucky to find sunshine mimosa in my sod. I transplanted it, watered it, waited all summer for a pink puff to bloom.
No pink puffs showed up, figured out I have been taking care of shyleaf this whole time. Cute plant, but shows that ID-ing can be tricky. Thanks for the video.

This was great! I've lived in Florida my entire life and knew very few of the plants you showed in the video. Thank you for this information 🍀😁

Thank you! Great job!
After watching dozens of videos to try to identify a weed that I’ve had my gardens for years, I finally found it in this video and it’s the cucamelon. They started spreading in my yard after I brought some horse manure home for my vegetable garden and I think there were a few weed seeds in it. I think the chipmunks and maybe birds spread it all over the place. I think I found it before and read the fruits were edible, but I’m not a big cucumber fan.

One thing about cutting oaks that are firmly established, is to cut them off BELOW the crown (where the root meets the stem, or trunk) of the plant. Once you do this, it won’t grow back.

I’m always conflicted about Brazilian pepper because although it’s invasive it also makes the best honey ever and I raise bees. I always rip it out but some people in my neighborhood have huge pepper bushes so thanks for sacrificing your yards guys!

I live in SW Florida, and I'm still pulling every single weed I can find and identify because my weed control just is not working. It seems as if the weeds are feeding on the weed killer. Your video has helped me a ton, so thank you very much. I am five thirty-gallon trash bags into my weed war, and I am only about half finished. These darn weeds are relentless I tell you. But this is how desperate I have become, wish me luck! 😅😅

[TheMomentEnds]

Thanks for such a comprehensive presentation. Brazilian Pepper is the just the absolute worst to get rid of.

[freedomgrows]

I add wood sorrel to my pestos. Delicious! Thanks for all the info, chicky!

[LoriHakaMyHeartCries]

I found another youtuber that is located down near you. I'll have to go back and see if I can find her YouTube name. Although I really enjoy all the knowledge that you both share and it is really helpful, I wish I could find a youtuber that is knowledgeable like you, but is in NE Florida. ✌👍🌿 okay I went and looked " the urban harvest..." is the name of her channel.

[beckyboopz]

Excellent video!! Please do another with more plant weeds!

[margoz]

Very informative ! Thanks so much from a Florida “weed lover” . I love cultivating my volunteers and often wonder what the heck is this 😂
