Food Forest / Edible landscaping and DIY projects in South Florida/Zone 11 on a standard urban 1/5 acre home lot (that's ~9000 sq. feet to u and me) from a native Floridian perspective. Just showing U what we have found that works.
Not all Florida is equal in terms of what you can grow. Our focus will be on the tropical side of Florida (where you can grow coconuts) as those conditions change the game.
While we have traditional annual beds, our food forest/edible landscaping gardening focuses on esthetics while integrating food crops as our environment allows. We try and grow a wide diversity of fruit and vegetables, but ultimately, we grow what we like and eat what we grow.
Wildlife enthusiasts who encourage native animal diversity on our property and hope to share our interactions with those visitors.
See ya later!

Swales are an Untapped Potential for Growing Food
Untapped potential in most of Old South Florida. Swales are a big area of land that most people just grow grass. U could be growing some type of food crop in the swales (technically it's under the swales!). I might try pumpkins next year.

Growing Food does not have to be ugly, unkempt, or look like a farm. Here is 20 feet of our property where there is a ton food blending in with the cosmetic environment. Many others growing in the area that were not highlighted include: pinapples, sisso spinach, mint, and sweet potatoes, among several others. #floridagardening #ediblelandscaping #vegetablegarden #gardening #growyourparadise #ga...
Summer is Nutrition Building Time in South Florida
Переглядів 6721 день тому
In South Florida Zone 11, the best summer gardening is heavy mulching, cover crops, and just hitting the beach. Sure, U can grow a few crops like okra and seminole pumpkins (i grow pumpkin in other areas), but for me, the best use of the annual beds is to feed fertility. Sweet potatoes will even be innundated with white flies by the end of August. So I mulch very heavy as my main practice. Will...
Shouldn't These Seeds Be Red?

Tag read "Pomegranate" with a $20 price tag on a 3 gallon container. So I bought it, and it is growing really well. It produces a ton of fruit relative to its size, but is it worth growing to maturity? Is it an ornamental? White fruit/seed version? I dont know much about pomegranates, so if anyone knows what I am growing, please let me know. #floridagardening #ediblelandscaping #vegetablegarden...
Perfect Sugar Apples
Переглядів 215Місяць тому
Sugar Apple tastes like Apple Pie and a favorite fruit of ours. What's better is they start ripening after our mango season and we should have fruit for a couple months.

Still a bit heavy when fully extended. Try a bamboo pole it's much lighter and easier on your shoulders.
@pms-hd3od Yes it can be a bit heavy (luckily Im a big guy 😀) and bamboo is great! The problem with bamboo is finding a big piece in the suburbs and storing a 15-foot piece. Also, if not processed correctly, it's going to crack and spinter overtime.
Looks like it was ready to fight for it's life! I love it ❤️
Well it worked!
Womp womp
Love the content! Stay consistent. That's the key to being successful at anything!
@@DeavtheDev Thanks. Appreciate it!
Seen this in India and SriLanka , in fresh fruit marketside, just naturally growing, and totally fine to eat ✌️ Your videos are just so good they remind the tropicals.
@@UHDNaturals Thanks for the information. Hopefully they get a bit tastier as the tree matures. Hope to keep improving the video quality and commentary.
😋
It's adorable ❤. How long does it take from planting to harvest? I'm in Maryland and wondering if I should try using a planter that I can take in when it gets cold and freezes
@jessicamgallion8977 cute, but it's supposed to be full size ☹️. Good thing was free from a store Pineapple top. Pineapples do great in containers, so u could give it a try, but u will definitely need to bring in 4 the cold. Might take over 2 years to get a fruit.
@@stokedonearth awesome. Thanks for the info
🥰✌🏼
❤ thanks for your video.How long was your vernalization process and what did you feed them?
Welcome & Thanks 4 watching! Vernalization was only a few weeks at best, definitely a point of improvement 4 next year. Plan to target 10 weeks. Feed was mainly dr. Earth to condition the area per packaging. Think one more feeding during, plus I chopped and dropped a banana trunk. But I also had 3 tomato plants interplanted. There's a link 2 the 1st 90 days 2 see some of the process.
I think this is the video where I Ioose the most subscribers. Especially ones that have any taste in music. The moral of the story holds true. If you can get through the "I was just learning the guitar" Jam.
Not come across that plant before - thanks for sharing!
No problem. U have a nice tropical summer garden... great work.
@@stokedonearth Thanks for checking it out!
👏👏
How have you been growing your soil?
Organics on the ground. Mainly chop and drop and wood chips. And a living mulch of sweet potatoes in this particular area. Guess I have a new video idea...thx
Buah busuk = lalat,termasuk lalat buah. Bahaya ga? Terimakasih
Google Translate is not working 4 your post, but the key sugar apple pollinator in my area is a beetle.
Video skills kind of suck for detailed pruning it's really hard to understand what you're trying to do and why you are doing it
Yeah one of my 1st videos and not the best. Moral of the story...after your main fruit set, usually u prune off new blooms because they won't have time to develop before the vine goes dormant. Thus just wasting energy that could be focused on the developing fruit. But I left them this past year and got a solid second harvest. Seems my warm season is getting longer to support 2 harvests. Individual milage will vary. Looks like a candidate video to re-edit.
@@stokedonearth thank you for the response
In the lighting section
@billkraemer4710 I found mine in the painting department of my local big box store. Could be used/sold in lighting as well. Thx
That’s smart ❤❤
Blessings gratitude
Khoai lang của bạn phát triển thật tốt cho cứ to quá ,bạn rất khéo chăm sóc 🤝.
Thanks.
I recently discovered this pole, my inlaws bought a house and it had a push-broom with one of these as the handle in the garage. I used it to get Lego out from under the stove on our first visit. I got fairly well acquainted with it, seems like a handy tool to have around for many reasons!
You never mention what the blue piece is called, what it’s used for, or where I might find it like you did with the painters pole. Which I feel like is the important part as it does the picking. But either way thank you this is awesome!
That is the fruit picker.
Thanks. Yeah, I should have included that tidbit... I added it to the video description as below. Thanks 4 the advice. The basket is "Twist-On Fruit Picker Basket" that I bought off of Amazon for around $20. My guess is the big box stores also carry a similar part.
@@stokedonearth awesome thank you so much. Now that you mention that I should’ve checked the description first
@@maverick9300 yes that much was obvious. What I meant was he didn’t mention its intended purpose like how he did the painters pole being for ceilings (though you can use those on walls as well because they are for roller brushes). Knowing what it’s at least used for helps in knowing where to buy it which is what I was I was getting it
Great advice! Thank you!
Thanks!
Only problem everybody don’t live where they can grow coconuts. 😢
My friends granddad had one of these. We actually still have it. We use it for picking pawpaws. They has several pawpaw trees. I wonder if this would work on walnut trees ??
I bet it would work for walnuts, but I have honestly never seen a walnut harvest. It's all about the basket head being able to grab the nuts. Pole is strong enough to use a saw head to cut branches.
After you pick mango can you just wash it and eat it? Or do you have to wait a few days, thank you!!
They are good to eat immediately and usually have several days to a week on the counter shelflife. Just depends on the level of ripeness u desire.
@@stokedonearth thank you my cogshall mango is almost ready
@@thecrusadesofbangbang I just posted a video where I cut a few fiberless mangos (including cogshall) open. So u can see the ripeness we enjoy...
Hope to hear updates on your citrus. Recently heard of the oak tanin/oil treatment.
I have huge challenges with my citrus in South Florida between massive amounts of citrus leaf miners and general soil/nutritional conditions. They are not the healthiest specimens and not a great benchmark 4 the oak tannins success.
@@stokedonearth im in Coastal SC. I have a potted Bears lime. For years It struggled with no fruits. Similar issues with leaf miners & white flies. However, two years ago i intuitively hand stripped all the diseased leaves, A new flush of healthy leaves ensued. Now i hand clip any leaf that begins to yellow, i control rapid growth clipping the tender tips. The small tree now looks better than any I've ever seen, and is producing lots of fruit. no leaf miners, all healthy large green leaves. I believe the success comes from stripping diseased leaves which disrupts the reproductive cycle of the pests. This year i started the same program with my sickly grapefruit tree which has had leaf miners & Im adding oak leaves as a base compost.
@donaldjhill sounds like a good, albeit laborsome, strategy to minimize the total population. U get the added benefit of a cold period that also kills the bugs. We are open 24/7/365 here in South Florida...in fact our largest flowering/flush happens in the winter.
I saw the papaya tree loaded.
U saw that! Was a volunteer. I have not yet harvested a ripe fruit but based on shape and size, as well as its low fruit development. I'm pretty sure it is a Red Lady. I grow 4 different varieties on purpose, so I get lots of volunteers. Great problem to have!
Not only lady bugs but also daddy long legs there official name means aphid sucker!! Awesome
They seem to be in my house more than outside. Guess they like the AC
I always seem to get lazy non indigenous Lady bugs
U gotta put out the buffet feast like my yardlong beans...
I spray with the jet setting on my water hose almost every day. I do my best to miss the pretty ladies. It seems to help.
I use the flat setting to do the same with the hose.
Wasp also love aphids. They keep my peppers and tomatoes clean.
Everyone is welcomed
Neem works well too if the ladies can’t solve it
Totally agree, but I am more of a survival of the fittest...with a few blasts of the hose.
My garden looks like that after a rainy night but not from bugs but from slugs or vineyard snails respectively
Yeah, we went from near drought to monsoon rains. Should have seen how many afids were on some other plants.
Is there any hope for your tree?
I hope so...been 10 years, so I pretty invested and I only got fruit 2 seasons. I'm holding out for a cure as to why I haven't chopped it down.
Those look like Potentilla indica.
U could be right. This is zone 6-7 where I was so a bit out of my element.
@@stokedonearth Did you happen to see any flowers? If they were yellow, then probably P. indica. We have a ton along our foundation and landscaping blocks like that, but the flowers are all already gone, so you may not have seen them. The fruits look similar, more seed (or achene maybe?) than fruit, and no real flavor. Either way, they are cute plants, I enjoy seeing them every year.
@@Alexander_Evans did not see any flowers
Fiberless mangos are the best. I didn't know how much I loved mangos until I had one in Cebu, Philippines. They have the best mangos.
Wow
WHY ARE YOU GOING TO KILL THAT BEAUTIFUL COCONUT TREE😢
Stay tuned next week 4 a video of the reason and process
Marble= pea
Yeah, they were pretty small at that stage, but they will get a bit bigger.
Thats pretty amazing
Isn't maypop, your variety, self infertile???
How can someone throw something so beautiful
It has been about 1 year since I found the branch and rooted it. They propigate easily from cuttings and was a branch someone cut off their tree pruning.
Where are you
Southeastern florida
Aren't you supposed to cross the two strings around the stem on either side so they hold the plant in all directions
Yes you do cross on opposite sides, but I found that the 1st 2 rungs when the plant is small are not tight enough and mine were flopping from side 2 side. I stop doing this extra after 3 levels as the plant seems to stabilze when it gets more branches to "hold on" to the string.
@@stokedonearth I see! Thanks for the advice
Is this dragon fruit????
Yep. Purple Flesh type.
Hell yeah big ol nuts 🫡
His are probably bigger
🥰🥰🥰
Wow huge cado tree! 🌳
Nice
I've done this before lol
Our problem is cold. Think this winter we hit 45 degrees for a minute :-)
