Join me as we check out my vegetable seedlings as we tour my Central Florida Vegetable Garden. It’s been 4 weeks since I planted my winter vegetables and I’m excited to show you my progress in my raised garden beds.

Consider to protect from squirrels to apply Trulle to your seedlings to protect them.also helps with protects from bugs
Girl, the squirrels ate my butternut squashhhh. sigh, there is another one on the vine and I have barricaded it to see if I get one.
I planted my seeds for brassicas and tomatoes in trays in Sept and transplanted out to beds when they were bigger,then covered beds with insect netting to keep moths and birds out. Fingers crossed they look pretty good. Many of my tomatoes are full grown now and giving me fruit. Beets got eaten by iguanas we think. I also killed my first round of strawberries. The superstars of the fall are my pac Choi. I just got your 2024 planner- can’t wait to start using it!
I had trouble with my green onions too😮, and bulbing onions… Not one bulbing onion, and just a very few green onions. Gary from the Rusted Garden mentioned recently bad chive seed might have been going around last year. Perhaps with the onions? I used packets from last year. And the squirrels don't help, of course😅
Thanks for the garden update, looking good! My strawberries, all died too. I think I overwatered them. Your kale and broccoli and other plants that are squiggly and had fallen over but are now growing up right are perfectly fine to leave the way they are. That happens to some of my plants every year and I just leave them alone and they grow and produce like normal. Good luck!
Soon your beds will be bursting with food! We have pea pods already, and lots of blossoms. Tomatoes are about 2 ft tall, beets and turnips are really big and bushy. Eating lettuce, chard, onions and kale now. Radishes are done. Squirrels are wreaking havoc here, too. Lots of gaps in the rows, and "divots".
I can't seem to get onions to sprout or grow to anything other than a little seedling. I am going to go buy cocktail/pearl onions to grow. I don't know if they get larger or not, but at least I will finally have green onion tops to eat. 😅If they grow anyway 🤣Everything else is doing great, I'm harvesting greens, kale, chard, and other brassicas, green beans, some corn, a few tomatoes and peppers here and there as they ripen. I have a couple of sugar pie pumpkins that are about ready too. I hope no more really cold weather for a bit 🤞
Excellent Salt n Peppa reference! Push it real good 😂
I am also having squirrel troubles. They have destroyed the carrot bed. I resow and they come in that evening and tear it up. I too have a full time squirrel chaser. A Goldendoodle so I see a ton of Shilow traits haha. I have got to order a planner.
I can't remember where I saw it but they said to pinch the first flowers off the peppers and strawberries. This allows for more energy to go to establishing the roots and growth of young plants.😊
If you know you are going to have squirrel problems why don't you make chicken wire lids for your beds? All you need is a pvc frame and a dome made of chicken wire attached to the frame with zip ties. Easy and weather resistant. You can later cover them with row cover if the temperature drops.
I just wanted to say that I am loving the Members Only videos. If you haven't join yet you should. 😊😊😊
You probably already know this but onion seeds don't last long. It's recommended to buy new ones every year.
There is a remedy for excess squirrel population. A Fish and wildlife person once told us to depopulate the squirrels when there's a large population of them. We did and they quit eating our apples.
I have a question about your desert rose plant, what do you do when it rains a lot or in cold weather? So you move it or protect it in any way? I noticed that it was out in the yard. I have several plants and I'm new to growing them. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks for showing us your good and not so good new veggies. Honestly helps others (especially new gardeners) determining what to do or what not to do. Happy gardening 😊😊😊
My ferry morris onions haven’t come up either. Weird!
I like the sunshine mimosa as ground cover in the one bed, I may try that in my beds I have 2 that need to be liberated from pots now.
My cherry tomatoes are going nuts! I have a new crop of lettuce starting, and bunch onions oh and the garlic for June! North Florida zone 9a or am I zone 9b? I wanted squash but they failed me! The plant is there all ugly leaves and all! :p so is the zucchini! Oh well!
Just curious if you have fertilized your peppers. They just look hungry to me. Should be no need to restart them.
I love how you are now showing how you're using your planner. I got the2024 printed edition and I can't wait to start using it! Just a suggestion for the future: I think it would be really cool if the planner started when the growing season does on the FL timetable. Maybe run from September to August rather than a calendar year, kind of like an academic calendar. Just a thought to consider. Thanks for your transparent gardening adventures. I am learning so much from you!
I love how you bring out your planner and show how you use it. I’m making my lists now. It’s so easy and fun to create
