Can you believe we have a 'tropical' state in America!!?? !! We have dozens of papaya right now and the trees/vines/bushes have been dripping with bananas, mangos, passion fruit, dragon fruit and peanut butter fruit. I've been making my own greens powder from katuk, sissoo, sweet potato leaves, hibiscus leaves and moringa. Katuk is my FAVORITE! I also fell in love with the Jamaican strawberry tree this year (cotton candy berries??!!) and use the leaves as a base for tea with cranberry hibiscus and bidens - so delicious and medicinal. Florida is a mystical and magical land full of plants that love to connect with us ;)

Problem is the soil or lack of it. I had a garden while growing up in Kentucky and we never had soil issues. Here in the area Pete lives, same as me, it's sand. I had to add good soil to a lot of my garden. Compost has been hard to get down for me but I'm trying. One cool thing is growing avacado trees. They grow so well here.

6:30. I grow a lot of sisso here in my country Malaysia. We call it "bayam Brazil" (Brazil spinach). I bought a plant for RM4 (USD1) from a Malaysian govt nursery, and I never have to buy seedlings again ever since, after every harvest I save stems and stick them in the ground, so easy to grow, so easy that it's no challenge at all planting this veggie! Haha! . Katuk (we call Asin-Asin, Cekur Manis( - I grow a lot of that too, one time growing and it provides me food forever. Papaya - I grow that too, still growing and no fruits yet. Edible leaf hibiscus? Wow, I like to grow that if I can find it in Malaysia! I also have talinum in my garden, it's a volunteer crop, it comes to my garden uninvited, so I let it grow, it's tasty too, tastes like spinach.

(Hovering between 60F to 90c most of the year) I highly recommend growing Roselle (Gongura leaves in India) used for everything from fresh dips to spicy curries & Pigeon Peas (25% protein!). I grow them hydroponically in 55ltr containers, they grow in almost any type of soil with no care. Also grow lots of herbs and spices to augment health and to prevent deficiencies, most of them will grow really well in Florida weather. Pigeon peas and Roselle leaves cooked together along with some garlic, ginger, turmeric & black pepper tastes absolutely amazing.

What a great episode! Just a few gentle reminders : green papayas are good to eat in a salad etc - BUT ladies trying to get pregnant or pregnant ladies should eat only small amounts or avoid as it can lead miscarriage. If the papaya is ripe - eat in moderation as overconsumption can give a person diarrhea.Over consumption of moringa leaves is not good for people who suffer from high blood pressure. Food is medicine - but the flip side is that some herbs & vegetable & fruits can negative side effects if overconsumed or a person has some pre-existing health conditions. In south east asia where im from most of this knowledge is fading - i was lucky to have a grandmother who taught me some of this folk "medicine".

Pretty sure the name is Hispanicized Mayan, since it is native to the Yucatan and domesticated by the natives there. It definitely isn't from the Levant or Hebrew culture, though there is nothing wrong with people from that or any other culture trying it nor adopting it. The species, or in some taxonomies, subspecies, name is "chayamansa" (applied to the domesticated form which lacks the urticating [nettle-like hypodermic stinging] hairs ubiquitous in the Cnidoscolus genus [there are species of Cnidoscolus in the Southern USA, btw; Florida's is called "devil's potato"). Chaya is basically short for "chayamansa." Given that the wild, urticating form is called "mala mujer" (Spanish for "evil woman"), I doubt panacea -based names would take hold. Rural people, at least, understand nuance. Since the Fall of Man, nothing in creation is completely perfect at all times and in all ways.

With our sandy soil you shouldn't get rot, unless you are over watering at the end.

Hope this is helpful, a year late. Cheers

climate is only one problem in Florida. The other problem is sandy soil and the cost to improve soil and BUGS. Florida is a bug paradise, every kind of bug you can think of. Only talented farmers can grow in FL without massive insecticide

Thank you, very helpful info. I'm in NW FL, zone 9a, 9b. A couple years ago we got down to 18 F, so very short winter frost is an issue. What zone are you in?

I have all except Miami Spinach and Edible Hibiscus and I'm not sure if what I have is yucca or taro as I haven't learned to use it yet. Green papaya is fabulous green, maybe even better than ripe. Female papayas, bananas, and katuk live in a colony together and a little ways away is a male papaya (that produced a fruit this year!) near my moringa in dappled sun. I've got Chaya as part of a privacy border as well as inside the yarden for eating and I've never seen a flower. Okinawan is doing well here, Longevity disappeared a while ago. I'm in north central Florida. Thanks!

I am new to Florida, and my neighbor saw me growing mahogany splendor hibiscus and she said it's edible. I was growing it for the foliage for my bouquet. I am glad I saw this. Thank you.

There are also plenty of native plants in Florida that should be considered first. They are already suited for the climate, require less water, and can be equally as productive and nutritious

Hello from Idaho…my wife is from China and she has grown sweet potatoes primarily for the greens, very delicious. Incidentally, we are moving to Cap Coral in September (2021) so this video will give us lots of gardening ideas.

I would think so. Hillsborough County doesn't get quite as cold although the last few La Nina winters have been quite mild up here. Satsumas grow really well.

I have a garden in Florida, I have cassava, I make pasteles with them, you can freeze them, but I have Gandules, different varieties, they have 9 grams of protein per cup; I have sweet potatoes they are red outside, red and light yellow inside, I think they came from Jamaica, at least an old lady Jamaican gave it to me five years ago, God blessed her hearts 🥰, as a spin is h I have longevity Spanish, love it 🥰, Chaya, it’s poison, how much nutrients loose after been cooked for 10 minutes? I am concern about kids come and eat it? It’s a no,no in my garden. I have the red hibiscus, flower is as red as the leaves, does anyone knows if it’s addible? Or maybe good for tea? One thing I have in my garden is Gandules, very prolific buches, you replace them every 3 years. Thank You for the video, let’s not forget we all can canning almost everything!!! Be prepared for hurricane season everyone!!!

Just subbed 👍 + set 🔔 I live near Cape Canaveral 🚀 I have a screened in Liana. I had planted various plants I germinated from veggie/fruit seeds at house I sold in Kissimmee. I love to start my own plants 🌱 I bought 2 wood earth boxes. Any ideas for growing like I do? Thank you.

Always grow relative to your zone. Florida has 4+ different zones. Check out a grow zone map. I live in S. Florida and my zone is 10B. Some things overlap, but you need to be aware. For example Central Florida (Orlando/Tampa) gets freezes, South Florida doesn’t. Most of these he mentioned grow well throughout the state… I’m not sure about papaya in N Florida.
