Hey Jerra! I caught your last live during hurricane Beryl, and remember you saying something about a community garden in Galveston. I just so happen to live in Galveston county (I'm not on the island anymore, but still just a few minutes from the causeway) ...had no idea you lived here before! Small world. Anyway, what is that garden called? I've searched for community gardens before, but the only ones I've actually found are basically like fancy country clubs, with waiting lists and you have to pay monthly to rent a space (the opposite of what a community garden should be, IMO). Would be awesome if it still exists, I'd love to check it out.
I'm def inspired and thank you for talking about what can grow in our green stalk over the summer as I grow leafy green in fall and flowers but now? I wasn't sure I have the original size and the leaf size I may try zinnia and marigolds in the leaf size Thank you Going to buy the snake gourd
I hope to watch you on Sunday. I can’t plant anything right now🥲🥲I’m having knee surgery soon. It’s going to kill me not to be able to do any gardening.
@@bprov31 the thing is, I live in TX and the heat is very intense here, especially last year. So the plants looked wilted and so I would water them daily because the sun would immediately evaporate the water. But then they turned yellow/brown and I read somewhere that when they turn yellow it might be too much water. I guess I’ll have to try out your tip. Thanks ☺️
I get asked how often or what is my watering scheduled - but I don't adhere to one. Instead, learn how to assess your soil. This is because soil moisture varies so much depending on the type of soil you have, what kind of mulch you use, the time of year, how hot or cold it is, the type of crop that is growing etc.... After so many years, I can look at my soil and the condition of the plants, and know if it needs water. Oftentimes they wilt because it's too hot, not for lack of water. If they don't recover by evening, then they actually need water. Stick your finger in the soil, if it's dry to your 2nd knuckle, that's a pretty good indicator it could use some water. The number 1 cause of yellowing leaves is usually too much water.
Greenhouses outdoors for the most part is not necessary in FL. I have a few mini ones that I zip closed with plastic when sowing seeds outdoors during the winter or I bring them inside to sow seeds during the summer.
I really love your videos, Jerra. I received your seeds a while ago but had family members get sick myself included. Sigh. But, this video inspired me to at least try to sow some seeds tomorrow. Keep being you! 💜🪴🫛🫚🌱💜
Its a GreenStalk garden tower. I LOVE them. Can grow so much in a tiny space. You can get $10 off your order by following my link: lnk.rise-ai.com/USsJq73mUsGimFp
Shade will only reduce the temperature a tiny bit. I have tried in my garden, and it always stunts the growth especially for things in the brassicas family that I will be starting from seed next month in August. I'm zone 10A though, but I know Texas gets really hot too.
Thank you for this guide. I was wondering if I should start sowing now in July to plant in October. I will definitely start in July.
Go for it!
Thank you for all the information. There's so many varieties it can be so overwhelming.
You are so welcome!
When you grow beans for dry beans like black beans, do you let them dry on the vine?
I direct sow seeds spring, summer, and fall. I let them dry on the vines before harvesting the pods and removing the beans.
I love your format for giving plant suggestions in categories. And your suggestions work for our hot Texas climate. Thank you 💚
You are so welcome! I used to live in TX too for a few years, so yea, I understand the heat issues.

Going to buy the snake gourd
I know all these vegetables. It’s so yummy
Yes they are!
I hope to watch you on Sunday. I can’t plant anything right now🥲🥲I’m having knee surgery soon. It’s going to kill me not to be able to do any gardening.
Hoping you have a speedy recovery
@@JerrasGarden Thank you. I filled in my email address to get your garden form and haven’t received it yet. Should I send my email again?
I like your videos. I’m a visual person, would love to see your garden as you talk about what to plant.
I try my hardest to show things not just talk about them 😀
Just found your channel. Do you have any videos on how often to water each type of plant? I think last year I overwatered my tomatoes.
I did ththe same last year.
Put your finger in the soil a few inches. If you feel no moisture then water.

I think green houses maybe too hot in sw fl. I was think of trying a greenhouse with shade cloth on them

your passion fruit vine!!! We need a video on passion fruit plant care.
I'm in process of making it LOL

Aww thanks and thanks for watching
I cannot get moringa to germinate no matter the heat pad or sun. 😢
Brenda, are you in Florida or a colder zone?
@@hfrench789 in Daytona beach florida.
Here is my tutorial showing my setup to get better moringa germination. It is hard. ua-cam.com/video/2nHDF2v01rk/v-deo.html
It may have been a lucky fluke, but I got the dwarf moringa seeds from Baker Creek and the very first one I tried germinated with no problem.
@@JerrasGarden thank you
I love you from Cambodia ❤❤❤
what zone are you in?
10A
What’s the spinable trellis your purple hulls are in??

I didn’t see the Indian snake bean seeds in your shop. Do you usually sell them? Thanks!
At the moment I do not have Indian snake bean seeds on my website. I do have Indian snake cucumbers though.
@@JerrasGarden Thank you!
Can we start nasturtiums in July?
Depends where your located. If your in a hot climate, like zones 8 and up, they grow better if started from seed in fall.
Is it possible to start seedlings under shade cloth instead of inside? I don’t have a place inside for them.
Texas 8a
Shade will only reduce the temperature a tiny bit. I have tried in my garden, and it always stunts the growth especially for things in the brassicas family that I will be starting from seed next month in August. I'm zone 10A though, but I know Texas gets really hot too.
I’m in Texas 8b and have my fall seedlings under a shaded patio. They seem happy.
@@lizlucey3812 thanks!
