I am in Antigua. I live in the hottest, driest part of the island (desert like conditions) with alkaline soil and I am growing things here that most people thought were impossible. I love to experiment and try things I love to eat and have low to no chill hours requirements. I grow Triple Crown Blackberries, Biloxi Blueberries, a variety of Figs, Asian Pear, Florida Prince Peach, Plums, Apple, a variety of Dragonfruits, a variety of Grapes, Thompson seedless, Thomcord, several wine grape varieties, and several Muscadines. In addition, I have many tropical’s: a wide variety of bananas, sugar apples, soursop, starfruits, tamarind, papayas, jackfruits, passionfruits, pineapples, fejioa, guavas, a variety of tropical cherries, and several variety of citrus.

I just bought some metal raised beds and currently setting them up.

I have spent the last few years building the soil organically via chop & drop, compost, and manures. I mulch everything heavily.

Absolutely love your papaya tree in the background!! Thanks for sharing this great information, I moved to FL 5 months ago and find your channel very helpful as I am trying to "learn" to garden again 😀

my Poblano is almost 2 years old and is now over 6 ft tall. Started it hydroponically and transferred it to a grow bag this spring. It is still producing like crazy along with my Cubanelle pepper plants. Central FL zone 9b

I grew cubanelle in zone 11 in a pot and they produces like crazy and or a very long time. Love them!

Yes, you can move your tomatoes around if they're in pots! I'm in the Orlando area, and have a cherry tomato plant in a pot, a roma tomato plant in a pot, and a green pepper in a pot. They were out on the pool deck in full sun back in April, but now I have them on the deck up against the house under the roof overhang (this is the north side of the house), and they never get direct sunlight there, but good indirect sun. They are all 3 producing all summer!

When I lived in Deerfield Beach (Broward County zone 10b) I grew turkey figs successfully. They would get rust, but always recovered

Thanks for mentioning me!! Update: I finally got Malabar spinach to grow, it loves my self watering grow boxes. I still can’t get them to grow in the ground, but they are going crazy in my boxes!! So no need to try anymore

[SouthernLatitudesFL]

Aww, thanks for the shout-out!! Yea, we're getting ready to have our onion party started July 19th!! Get those short-day onion seeds ready!!!

Perseverance indeed. My squash is a mess, ug, and my tomatoes are gone. Figs in containers St Pete, are producing in the first year, and my sugar baby watermelons are almost ready. Banana peppers are doing great, but poblanos aren't doing well. Keep going and keep growing strong. Love being a member.

I have Neptune tomatoes which are still producing tomatoes in zone 10b, Fort Lauderdale, and they are loaded with flowers.

Malabar grows great here in Gainesville, but put it in the “right” place because it reseeds a lot if you don’t get the berries off

[greenoctopusbudgets]

Hello from Jacksonville! Another GREAT video! I just ordered your planner bundle set to use at home & with my students at school. Excited to use your informative planner this year! 😀😀

I know the Brazilian Spinach by the name Sissoo Spinach. I grow that and so many other tropical edible greens! Many can be made through cuttings very well. They make a wonderful summer edible landscape! Happy Gardening and thank you for your videos😄 From Florida Zone 10

I’m in the Tampa Bay area and planted jalapeño & cubanelle peppers in the same bed as my bell peppers and haven’t gotten a single pepper from either. The bell peppers are feeding me and several other families. They’re terrific.

Hello, I'm a new subscriber living in central Florida zone 9b and I am learning a lot from your channel, and I have been watching and enjoying several of your videos. You remind me very much of a lady I went to UCF with in the early 90's, but I know you're too young to be her. But she lived on the east coast near the Indian River, and I remember she liked gardening and was wanting to start an asparagus bed. I wonder if you are related? You look so much like her. Thanks for all your hard work and sharing what you know.

Malabar Spinish grows crazy in zone 11b Florida Keys.

Southern seed exchange is amazing. Im leaning towards buying all my seeds from them. They're focused on our region

[belkyhernandez]

I put my seeds in old cd albums and recipe kind with index cards. The down sude to the album is that it makes the little book bulky.

[SusanBlank-vp]

As a gardener in coastal alabama zone nine b with So much humidity.My sister and I joke that we have a short growing season and a long slow dying season.
