These brothers are so welcoming, kind, giving and so informative. Love their passion for growing food. Beautiful garden. Leaf of life is absolutely medicinal; great for cough and colds. My mom use to beat the leaves and squeeze out the juice add a tiny bit of salt and give it to babies when they had a cold or cough.
Way to go brother. Every home with a yard in Florida should have this. Instead call Chemlawn to keep your yard nice and manicured with plenty of pesticides. More young people need to connect with the natural environment. Screw grass!
There is a reason the native Florida Indians used sea shells. They built islands out of them Mixed with certain materials it's a great natural fertilizer
Strawberry tree aka Jamaican Cherry is a must to own. Mine fruited the first year and by year two, it's pumping out fruit consistently. I have banana, mulberry, barbados cherry, strawberry guava tree and this tree is my favorite right now. It grows like crazy and I'm always eating fruit from it. Nothing else in my collection is as consistent as this tree.
What a great video! Awesome tour and clear conversation. I’m several months into growing a few jabuticabas and wanted to chime in, in case this is helpful….what I’ve learned so far from nurseries and online is they don’t like too much fertilizer at once, as mentioned in this video. I had one a little shocked by what I think was a heavy hand right after transplanting to a larger pot. I also use the Hollytone (acid lovers) fertilizer. Our water in FL is alkaline and it will burn the leaves on the ends eventually (won’t kill them), so I either water them with rainwater or filtered water, or if I use tap - every few weeks I put a little acidifier/iron (and other mineral) solution into the water and it makes them happier, leaves normalize. I learned that from Flying Fox Fruits, he mentions giving them an iron flush to help balance the tap effect on their leaves. So just in case you water with the hose, but it’s more cosmetic I think. I know they don’t like to sit in water so I don’t see them doing well in a wet area. Their roots are pretty shallow (I believe, from what I recall anyway) and I don’t let the top of the soil dry out too much - but I try not to flood them either. I’m still learning and mine are mostly very happy so far, but my issue is more with dryness, random leaves drying and falling, just a few here and there, maybe normal for this time of year, not sure. My “overfertilized” transplant (red jabo) dropped most leaves, seems maybe what yours could be dealing with… and I give it pep talks 😂 …trunk has stayed green thankfully…and finally finally I see baby leaves. It was a painful lesson but my dear buddy “red” has been quietly regenerating. Good luck with your Jabo, I think they are one of the most beautiful and unique, special trees. They are a bit delicate to care for, yet hardy enough to make it worth it. What a beautiful collection of plants and trees presented in this video, so lush, even the shampoo gingers and galangal, I learned why my dwarf moringa is a bit yellow…I will back off on the water! Thank you again for all the helpful tips and best wishes for your Jabo and all the other lush beauties in your collection. 😊🪴
I had fruit trees but all our rain has been not so kind to them. And this next storm...oh boy. 🙄 my goal is a food forest!! 🤗 like the beautiful tour I saw. 😉 Thanks for sharing.
I am impressed with the lemon balm, in my yard I have not found a good spot for it. Sweet, love their collection of fruit trees. Orange sherbet is delicious, had one from Truly Tropical this year! I would love some ice cream bean. Never heard of Castury. Sweet growing his own Neem!
Fantastic! I have a quick question. I saw other videos of growers that really stress the importance of having enough space between trees. These guys have a lot of mango trees and others, some of which will grow very big and very close to each other. Thoughts?
@@naturalbeauty8026 Dropping the plants on the ground around your fruit tree is a form of natural fertilizer. You are basically growing your own mulch. That has been a big part of our success.
Maybe call the county or town, we have piles of free mulch inside a park. I’m not sure if it’s a city or county park but you can also call tree trimming businesses, sometimes you can get free mulch dropped off
Does that guy have a well. I am in Ocala and have a well and septic and it’s so hard to grow anything for fear of them messing with the well and septic.
The sad thing is when the gov sees this don't be surprised to hear Air Plains in middle of the night spraying your beautiful garden i would not be advertising

We appreciate the kind words Joan. Leaf of Life is amazing. We are thankful Andre pointed it out, we thought it was just a random succulent!
Amazing food forest!! Love it❤
Thank you 😋
We appreciate it. Thank you for watching, are you growing any food right now?
These guys seem real cool 👍
Thank you, let's keep on growing!
This house was a wreck before they bought it! We watched them doing it, then after they helped us get some plants to start ours. Such nice people.

Thank you for stopping by Andre! We had a great time giving you all the tour🤙🌱
Our pleasure!
Great jop. My friend. 🎉

We agree, very tasty and abundant!
Very inspirational. Thank you

I like to boil Chaya leaves, and dehydrate it and make a powder out of it or I freeze it after boiling the plant poison out of it. 😊
I cut my Jamaican Strawberry down, my yard is just too small for that and the tropical almond.
I cut my Jamaican Strawberry down, my yard is just too small for that and the tropical almond. Wow! Sugar Apples so want to try them, I love Soursop!
Thank you! The lemon palm seems to really like to grow with the cuban oregano. Are you growing any cuban oregano?
@@SouthFloridaSunshine Sugar Apples are really good. We really like the taste of all the different Anonna varieties
The Jaboticaba needs to be in partial shade, it's too hot there for it to be in full sun. Try putting it in an understory if possible.
Thank you for the tip! Those Moringas have been growing, hoping for some shade soon
Nice video!
🙏
Ayyyye the Fam. Love it yal. #GrowFood
Much love! Hope all has been well brother 💪
The fruit that you got from the fruit and spice park may be a soncoya. Look it up to see if what you ate matches up
We have a fruit coming so we will definitely see what type of anonna it is soon
Yes, the leaf of life is medicinal.
Have you ever used it?
Jacob like alot of water & no pruning
Hey that's my old neighbor!
Fantastic! I have a quick question. I saw other videos of growers that really stress the importance of having enough space between trees. These guys have a lot of mango trees and others, some of which will grow very big and very close to each other. Thoughts?
If you want a commercial orchard space out. If you want a food forest you can plant how you want
Amazing 🙌🫶🏼✌️
🙏🙌
Do they have a UA-cam channel?
I think it’s grow inn homes
We do, check us out 🤙
Thanks for the video. Which sweet potato variety was he referring to?
Not sure
Quick question, the chop and drop phrase, are you growing a plant to just use for mulch? I have been experimenting with gardening for only 2 years.
Yes. Exactly
Is the purpose of dropping plants on the ground for aesthetics or helping the soil, or both? Thank you so much for your time.
@@naturalbeauty8026 Dropping the plants on the ground around your fruit tree is a form of natural fertilizer. You are basically growing your own mulch. That has been a big part of our success.
where can I buy a lot of mulch? I am a new grower and it costs a lot at home depot!
Go to getchipdrop.com and get them for free

I don’t think you should let that stop you
@@andrebaptiste thank you.

Very nice!! I couldn't get the name of their Instagram page. I want to follow them.
Grow in homes

That’s crazy talk man. You need to get out of that rabbit hole.
