- Hurricane Ian blew through last night, other than losing power there isn't much damage. We have relatives staying with us that are from the Port Charlotte area so they have no idea how their property is doing.

If you like the content I produce and would like to help support this channel there is one really easy way and it won't cost you anything. By using one of my Amazon links below any time you begin your shopping I will get a small referral reward even if you don't buy the product listed (when an item is purchased). These little bits add up and help me to buy more garden items to make more videos!
You can use my general amazon link (amzn.to/3qjBw6K) or check out one of the tools below. These are tools I use every day in my garden and highly recommend.
Tree saw - this Silky Professional F180 has a comfortable grip and cuts through branches with ease. I use this for things too large for the pruners. To date there is no rust on it, I put a loop of paracord through the hole in tha handle to make it easier to hang. Link: amzn.to/35Mb77Z
Pruners - The Felco F-2 Pruners are the choice of gardening experts everywhere. They seem to last forever, if you are a real heavy user you can buy replacement blades and make them like new again. Link: amzn.to/3qjzgMO
Snippers - For more precise work such as cutting delicate leaves off of new starts, these Corona stainless steel snippers work great. They have a long narrow blade to get into the tight spots on your seedlings or to prune smaller plants. Link: amzn.to/2TZmk2B
Trowel - Now this isn't really classified as a trowel but the Corona Scopp is my everyday all prupose tool that I probably use more than anything else (besides the pruners). This is not the best for digging in the soil but I don't really do much of that in my food forest. This is an excellent tool for potting, which I do a lot of. It holds a lot more than a traditional trowel and is a very well built tool. I've left it out in the rain many times and no rust. Link: amzn.to/3zRa5We
Knife - This Morakniv knife has held up well, it stays sharp and while the blade has lost its bright color it has not rusted. I use this for opening bags of soil and cutting ropes and twine. This knife is fairly inexpensive and includes a belt holster if you prefer to carry it that way. Link: amzn.to/3d9IPbD

Hope your okay!
We went through the eye of Michael here. I was literally outside watching as it went calm for a few minutes and then nearly blew me to the ground and then watched a pine tree take out the corner of my house lol
I've also seen more damage caused once the wind changes direction, I've got several trees now being supported by ropes or braces as a result of the last few storms. No damage to the house though!
@@GardeningSolutions after Michael we cut every tree down that was in falling distance of our house. We got really lucky because we have a cinder block house and I only had to replace three sheets of plywood and some shingles. I still remember my wife screaming you're crazy as I tarped off the hole in the roof in the middle of the hurricane 🤣
Greetings from Tallahassee FL. I gotta say, at least a lot.of the clover seems to have filled in! I just over seeded my 6 acres and still waiting. However that last thunderstorm last week seems to be helping
Greetings! The clover coverage has been spotty but has increased over time. We have had weird weather, either drought or flood. Recently I added a pump to my irrigation well so that should help with the dry times as now I can move a sprinkler around.
@@GardeningSolutions I spread 50 lb on my six acres and that was four weeks ago and I'm just now seeing some sprouts pop-up. Would love to see an update of what you do have growing as far as clover
@@GardeningSolutions and yes this is the weirdest winter I've ever seen in Florida. It's hot one day and cold the next
@@GardeningSolutions also I don't know if it will help or not because I have no proof myself but I was told that it's best to plant the clover in Florida during the winter time when the grass is dead
