@homegrownflorida: July gardening in Florida is all about growing crops that actually enjoy the heat. This month I’m planting sweet potatoes, long beans, cowpeas, peanuts, ginger, turmeric, okra, roselle, tropical greens, and a few heat-loving squash varieties. And for my North Florida gardeners, it’s almost time to start thinking about fall tomato and pepper seeds. If you want the complete planting schedule, check out my ebook. #creatorsearchinsights #floridagardening #summergarden #growyourownfood #vegetablegarden

I need help with my loofa, it’s so small and very pale! I thought too much sun so moved it to morning sun vs evening. I’ve watered and fertilized but it still looks stressed 😩

I am new to Florida and am wanting to plant green beans. Probably long beans. Do you recommend planting them now? I live in northern Florida, in the panhandle. This will be the first time I’ve ever planted green beans so any tips would be much appreciated

Can I keep my pepper plants in the ground or do I need to pull up and plant them new ones? Thank you so much for your expertise!!

I started my seeds outside under my patio where they are away from the sun, I put a grow light on but I am in Texas and during the day is like 100 degrees should I still leave them outside or bring them inside. They look good outside but since I’ve never done it outside I am worried about the heat, as I said the sun doesn’t reach them

I planted my purple sweet potatoes in late March. I have tons and tons of leaves growing, but I do not feel any sweet potatoes actually growing in the soil, could this be happening?

I am shocked that I can plant Swiss shark in Northwest Florida now I’m excited can I ask? Does it need full sun or should I put it in a little shade?

Where do you source your roselle from? Our local nursery could only find fake roselle or Florida cranberry. I’d drive for roselle 😂

I’m so sorry…! I love following you and hope to replace lots of flowers with food and build a “community” food share thing with my neighbors (I know, big dreams). Okay to the “sorry” part. I literally had no idea of most of the foods you list off. I know Swiss chard and spinach and the basics but heck I had zero flipping idea about all these alternatives that will grow here. Thank you for the info!
