Listen to this man! He got me started and now I’m on track to grow 500 pounds of food this year! Thanks David! May your thumb always be green 👍

In Central Florida, I can grow everything in the fall/winter and have abundant of vegetables (including tomatoes) from November through May. By June, my flowers and sweet potatoes cover all the beds. And I just sit back and relax until the fall comes. :)

I might of had the Everglades tomatoes in my back yard, I bought a packet of seeds, threw them in the sand and threw the waste and bad tomatoes on the ground, and I fed the neighborhood off that packet for the good part of a decade!

I have a small suburban veggie garden in Cape Town, South Africa. I started in August 2021 by digging out the tough kikuju grass and making barriers with cement slabs and large cement bricks I had. I am a pensioner so with a lack of funds I covered the area I dug out with cardboard. A couple of years ago we almost ran out of water here so I wanted to make a water smart veggie garden so I cut holes in the cardboard and inserted "grow tubes" (made from soda bottles cut into short tubes) in the holes. I planted my seeds inside the grow tubes and using a 5 liter bottle with a hole in the lid only watered inside the grow tubes thus using very little water. I had a good harvest. One area i dug out has no growing in it, instead I lift the cardboard and dig in my kitchen scraps to fertilize the soil. Earth worms have started coming to this patch. Lots of mistakes have happened along the way, but it's been worth the effort.

I live in Florida and when my husband and I started growing our own fruits and vegetables it was a learning process. You will have to learn what grows well in your area. It's trial and error all the way. We are learning every year during every season what works for us in this hot climate. My advice don't give up trying to garden if you have a lot of failures. It's ok. It's part of the learning process. Thank you so much for your videos. 😀

Wow! How genius is this advice?!? I've lived in Florida 30 years trying to grow various things with minimal results. Never even HEARD of a Seminole pumpkin or these Florida cherry tomatoes. Truly an "Ah-ha" moment. Going to try again. Thanks!

Kudos to the huge butterfly supporting actor

I grow Everglades in pots around our property. That way, when you walk by you can just grab a few!
My sister is now grows them in Texas and my brother is in So. Carolina!

Everglades tomatoes are the best here in central Florida, also I grow a ton of lemongrass and Moringa trees are amazing, great video David, thanks for sharing 🌱🌱

[karen-hillshomestead]

I loved the butterfly that was hanging out with you! :) I live in SW Florida and I grow my large tomatoes during fall/winter, usually with no problem. Once March rolls around they start suffering. My Everglades tomatoes grow whenever and wherever they want. :)

Came to Florida from Maine! Found David the Good's book, "Crazy, Easy Florida Gardening". That was how I started. My only problem is the wildlife who love everything I grow! Those Everglades tomato are indestructible! I started with one six inch plant. I saved three seeds from the first fruit. The plant died from the defoliant in my well water. Power line is thirty feet from well head. That's another story. I've learned how to compost my enemies, (and most everything else) so, even though my land floods frequently, I'm still growing stuff to eat! Thanks, David!😁🙏💞

I loved the video cause it really applies everywhere. I live in the mediterranean coast of Spain, but most of the written common wisdom -paper or internet - is done with the castilian mindset (temperate, continental). So people asks me "are you planting this and that in this month?". Well, plant like your grandad! Plant what fits, when fits, 90%, and leave yourself 10% for play

I love the little butterfly that came for a visit

"like back in my Yankee hellhole" 😂🤣 that one got me good. We deal with similar Yankee transplant mentalities here in SC. Its more than just gardening..

[charitysmith]

I’d be rockin the avocados, mango, papaya etc….also roselle!

[steph]

I'm so happy to see your daughter still has her Etsy going! I just bought some everglades tomato seeds! (I'm hopeful she'll get some other local seeds posted soon.)

[geannfreeman]

I just ordered some Everglades tomatoes from your daughter. I have some but I want to share some with family. Thank you David!

Funny how Florida is such a challenge for the home gardener (myself included) yet agriculture is like our second biggest industry. Citrus, SUGAR, and winter crops when the rest of the country is frozen. If you ever drive down to the Keys, do yourself a favor and take a side trip through Redland (Homestead, FL) or if you're going to St Augustine take a trip through Hastings, FL. TONS of farms cranking out produce. Just don't expect to yield any huge heads of broccoli LOL
