We wanted to offer another update to last year's frost damage video, to highlight some of the more tender tropicals/subtropicals that we grow here in central Florida. We are in a very unique microclimate, zone 9b, in Spring Hill/Pasco County, just 25 miles north of Tampa. While we generally have very mild winters with only a few nights of frost threat, we still wanted to take a gamble growing a wide collection of tropical botanicals. In the earliest weeks of 2018, we were devastated by a freezing windy night, where the temperature was 26 degrees for over 6 hours. If you missed our video documenting the massive damage around our permaculture farm, the link is here - • FARMAGEDDON! Frozen D...
If you are new to our channel, welcome to our home base. The main purpose of the property is to serve as a model & species bank for others in our own community or who also live in a similar climate to our own zone 9a (just north of Tampa). We grow tropical & temperature fruits, spices, herbs & perennial vegetables that come to us from similar climates from all over the world!
The component to our success with these tropical species is our oak canopy that we use as a living greenhouse. The old Oaks allow us to push the subtropical edge, growing sub/tropical species & collecting as much diversity as we can find. Using permaculture ethics as our backbone, our primary focus is building soil, encouraging maximum biodiversity above the ground & below. The only irrigation used on the farm is for our nursery. Heavy mulching, constant cover crops, dynamic accumulators, nitrogen fixers & other beneficial species = a booming perennial agriculture system!
