Launching a fresh UA-cam series named "Ask Me Anything"! Drop your inquiries about gardening, preservation, cooking, or anything personal below, and I'll address them in an upcoming video.
?? Is it ok to use compost in containers? Do you need to put, like perlite in it ? I will have a good supply from my own compost this year.👍🏽 Thanks for all your great tips.
@@nancypetrullo9833 I’ll definitely cover that 💚
I’d love to know as a brand new greenstalk leaf owner and central Florida resident- where do you most like to purchase plants suitable for our climate?
You mentioned that… in one video, an Asian variety of spinach I think?
Also… can you make your own potting mix at all? I’ve sure loved your videos… so very helpful!!
@@donnamcfarland162 I will definitely cover those questions 💚
A few days ago I had the virtual garden consultation. I couldn't be happier! I learned so much, Petrina. I go back to the consultation video and always find something new I did not remember. I also check daily the incredible charts you provided. Things now started to make sense to this beginner gardener. Thank you for all the knowledge and support you gave me.
Aww Esther. It was so fun chatting with you about your garden. Thank you so much for your confidence in me.
Florida gardener here 🙋♀️
Hi neighbor 👋
Oh my goodness, Patrina can I reserve a front row seat for your ask me anything series? You’d laugh if you knew how many times a day I have an ask Patrina questions or I say to my hubby “Patrina says…”.
Thanks for all your hard work.
🤣 Love that. Ask away!
I’d love to know more about the best irrigation for raised bed gardening. You are my FAVORITE UA-cam gardener!!! I learn so much from you!!
Absolutely 💯
Thank you! Your videos are always informative. The examples of shading, watering, mulching are helpful.
Glad you like them!
North Florida, in the Panhandle, zone 8B. I am SO happy I found your channel! I struggled for years trying to figure out why my gardens here did not perform like they did for my aunts and grandparents in Virginia and Kentucky, that I grew up with. The things you are talking about for growing in Florida, I learned the hard way. 🙃 I’m retired now and ready to go at it again! I’m excited to take your “Florida” information and run with it! 😁 Thank you for your great information and so well presented. FYI- I’d love to learn how to safely preserve my garden food.
I’m so happy for you! I have a playlist on my channel for different ways to preserve. I’m planning on doing even more soon.
Thanks! Ha-ha! Although 2 bucks is harder to come by for this old pensioner than my new Florida friend somehow I know you know it's not about the 2 bucks but about appreciation. Very well done young lady. UR very helpful and so easy to visit with. I am grateful for finding you.😊
That is so kind of you. Thank you so much 💚
I like that type of video. Thank you. God bless you and your family. Duane.
More to come!
I've just started offering virtual garden consultations! Weather you're a green thumb or still finding your way, let's chat 👇

I just sub’d. I’m hoping after all the backbreaking work I’ve done to build beds, install irrigation, and trellises my wife will have an abundance of produce from HER garden. lol. I need all the help I can get
🤣🤣🤣 I believe my husband and you have something in common. Thanks for the sub!
Enjoyed the video. Thanks for sharing 🙏 😎 🏖 🏝
Thanks for watching 👩🌾
Thank you for the great info, I look forward to your videos. My questions would be:
1. When amending beds for new season do you blend the mulch in? I have oak trees that drop leaves for a long period of time into my raised beds so would I just blend into dirt when amending?
2. How do you organize how to prepare for upcoming crops to be started, ie: purchasing seeds etc? Sweet potatoes needing sprouts to plant on time..
3. How do you preserve all your harvest? You seem to have alot, that's more the personal side...lol
Great questions! I’ll cover these.
Awesome video!! I am always over watering! And I even bought a meter!! I need to use it!! 🤦🏽♀️ I'm in So. California and I will start my tomato and peppers at the end of February. I have two tomato plants in the garden now. A Big Boy and a Midnight Snack.
Ooh. Let me know how the midnight snack does. I haven’t grown them before
I’m terrible about mulch. I vow to be better in the upcoming season!
I believe in you!
❤love your videos of course!! Love your temperment/method of expression etc and of course double whammy you're in Florida and in my Zone!!😊
Awww thanks so much 💚
Love your videos. New to Lake Placid 9b, can’t wait to start my new garden! For your new series… how to get started (fresh canvas, dirt back yard/grass front/western exposure)? What got you started in gardening? What are your favorite varieties? What do you grow that produces the most AND is useful in your kitchen? How do you stop yourself from doing everything at once (newbish excitement)? I have a container garden now at rental and I went kinda wild with tomatoes and hibiscus but didn’t do so well because I was terrible with watering. Great lesson for me that a drip system is a must for me. Also, best times to harvest and best storage/preservation options? I’m sure you’ve probably answered some of these, I’ll have to revisit some your vids. ❤
These are all great questions! Thank you 💚
Learned something new today. Thanks 😊
That’s awesome! 💚
We are from Florida too. Like to grow a garden and find the right plant for your climate.
Super fine ❤
Thank you for another great video❤. I always learn so much❤I love this style of video and I look forward to the Q and A
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you sooo much!!! Great video. Will definitely reference
So glad you enjoyed
You mentioned about 12 different fertilizers in this video, but have you ever considered about how Native American Indians only used one dead fish per plant by just putting the fish in the hole then putting the seeds in over the fish then covering it up with dirt. I always wondered how this worked out for them.
Haha. I think it was more like 5 but I totally get what you are saying. I would think the whole fish would be similar to using fish fertilizer which has a ton of nutrients. If you fish or have cheap access to fish, it would definitely be an option for fertilizing your garden. Kelp is another natural fertilizer along with the blood and bone of butchered animals.
Yes, fish in a hole still works great!I plant all my fruit trees this way!😊
Love this style of video. Very helpful. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
Dang, I should have started my seeds already! I live close to your area, I think my timing has been off and my garden has done poorly. I wanted to do better this year but I think I am already late. I think I will direct sew seeds tomorrow and see what happens.
I have a playlist that shows what to plant for each month. Check it out and see if it helps. I also have a free garden planner with planting charts in the video description.
I always look forward to your videos, they’re so helpful to me (new to gardening in Tampa) 😊.
So nice of you 🤗
Thank you for this valuable information 😍
My pleasure 😊
Great video. Thanks for all the great info
You bet!
Hey, I am glad I found your channel.
I live near Weeki Watche springs so I’m assuming it’s close to you.
It is. Just down the road 😊
I've finally figured out which is the correct type of onion to grow in my area ( Florida panhandle)! My question is, one they vibe to maturity ( which in my sure when that will be?) How do I cure them? My understanding is in a cool dark space to show them to dry for storage. Any suggestions?
I’ll cover this whole process in my next series. Thanks for the question!
Thank you, Petrina. This video was very helpful. My question is about growing strawberries in zone 9b SW Florida. Do the plants themselves survive the summers here or will I have to start new plants every year? Thank you Donna in Sarasota. Happy gardening.
Gardening
Great question! I’ll definitely include that one.
Good practical and thorough information. Thanks Petrina
You're very welcome!
What is the spinach? Where do you get those seeds? It’s beautiful! I’m in Cape Coral and I feel like it’s never not hot here.
It’s called komatsu spinach and I believe Bakers Creek has it. 💚
Great information 😊👊🏾💚
Much appreciated
Hi, Petrina, I'm in Orlando, zone 9b. Besides Urban Harvest, what were the two other local seed companies? I'm apparently hearing impaired because I couldn't make out what you said. Please help. Thank you.
Sorry about that. It was theurbanharvest.com, jerrasgarden.myshopify.com, and flgardening.com
@@HomegrownFloridaZ9a Thank you!!!
Nice video
Thanks for the name of the seed company’s .looking forward to ordering.
My first FL garden 🥴
Good luck!
Besides just regular cooking of your cabbage, what else do you do? Ferment? Thank you!
I ferment it for sauerkraut and I pickle and can it for coleslaw.
@@HomegrownFloridaZ9a I’m going to look up canning directions for that!
My question: We live in "Old Florida", zone 9a, surrounded by trees. We use Vegega raised beds and have such a problem with squirrels! Any suggestions? They dig and also rip the liner in our VegTrug raised bed. Ugh.
The best solution that I have seen is fencing around the beds. If that’s not an option, my little dog usually scares them off and I will put the hair from my hair brush and my dog’s brush around the beds to leave our scent and that helps.
Great video. Where are you in Florida? I'm going to be starting my first home garden this year in the Tampa area.
I’m in Spring Hill. Just an hour north of you.
New subscriber here I hope you can help I have raised beds and it’s been hit or miss with my garden I really want to grow more to become less dependent on the grocery store and have fresh veg without those pesticides
@@kellyrivenburgh4090feel free to ask questions. I’m happy to help 💚
Do you have a link for the moisture meter? Not seeing it in your links or Amazon store and haven't found one like yours in a general search.
I’m so sorry. I’ve added to my store, the description and below. Enjoy! amzn.to/4bu5IDk
@@HomegrownFloridaZ9a Thank you!
I like your videos, but there were 4 sets of 2 commercials within this short video - that sucks.
I’m sorry to hear that. UA-cam makes those choices so I don’t have much control on what commercials they play or for how long. I’ve noticed the increase on channels I watch too.
I would like to know more on mulching in winter. I don't mulch until warmer weather sets in. However I have seen videos about it keeping in moisture. I don't mind watering more. I just think that mulching makes hotter roots. Am I wrong?
Great question! I’ll definitely include that one.
Great questions…mulching moderates soil temperature..so when it’s hot, it keeps the soil cooler. It also keeps the UV rays from killing soil life. In cold temperatures it keeps the soil warmer. For us in Virginia, it will keep the soil from freezing. My soil stays mulched all year long..worms eat it up, leaving worm castings. Can’t say enough about mulch!
@@billelrod1779 yes that is why here I wait until end of our short winter. Then I take the oak leaves from the fall and mulch the garden with them to help keep soil cooler in spring which is like Virginia Summer. I like much just run a different system. I also do more row gardening.
Do you grow cassava? I have grown it but I am unsure how to cook it. Amy advice?
I haven’t grown it yet but I have cooked with it. I’ll cover that in my AMA video!
Can you let me know the website for Hera's Garden. I tried to find it online, but I was getting really random things. I am in Orlando, so local seeds would be awesome. Thanks!
Here you go! jerrasgarden.myshopify.com/
Thank you so much@@HomegrownFloridaZ9a
I have this situation, I have raised beds with "good soil" but my plants dont perform. I am guessing that the water is the culprit. The water that I use is from well water and i have sprinklers because that is what the house brought. The water stinks like rotten eggs. I don't know what to do with this water. Is there something that I can do with this water to make it better for the plants, or should i use the softened water from the home that has more salt? Should i add more fertilizers to plants? Is there anything that can be done?
That probably means a high sulfur content in the water. From what I’ve researched, that really shouldn’t have a negative impact on the garden but there could be something else in the water that is hindering growth. I would suggest getting a water test. Usually pool companies will do it or you can buy at home tests. That way you can try ruling that out first. If it comes back with other issues, i would try collecting rain water. It’s really the best.
@@HomegrownFloridaZ9a thanks for the info. When I was renting I collected rain water and the plants did better, but I bought a house and use the well water. The well water here seems to be worst than in the other house. In addition, it has been a dry year for us. I will try to save rain water. Thanks.
I have smelly sulfur water that also has iron in it. Haven't researched if that is an issue yet . I also got a very detailed water test way before gardening so I should probably look at that but overall I don't think the water is negatively impacting my production.
Do you sell seeds?
No, I’m sorry. I don’t.
30:26 Hello, I’ve been watching your channel from up here in St Augustine, Fl, which is now zone 9B. I wondered if in the future you could highlight some tips towards us here in Northeast Fl. I think your tips and videos are great and very encouraging. Thanks in advance! 🥬
I’m actually in 9b too. Most of these tips should work across the whole state. The only place it gets tricky is on timing but I usually cover those distinctions in my “What to grow” videos. I have a playlist on my channel for those.
Thank you!
Really enjoy and appreciate your videos, Petrina. 😍🫛🌱🍅
Glad you like them!
