Thank you Jerra! Happy New Year🎉
Hardest thing is waiting to start for spring. Just biting at the ropes. In NW Florida zone 8B/9A near Pensacola
Great video😊. I’m in Florida too zone 9A. Gave me some ideas on what to start in January
Hi Jerra, How big of a grow bag do you use for your seed potatoes and how many do you put in one grow bag? I’m in SW Florida.
What zone?
I haven't been able to grow lemon balm yet. Maybe a second pack/second season of seeds will have me having a happy accident.
Thanks for the reminder about your recipe focused channel. I meant to subscribe last time and forgot🤦🏼♀️
Great video Jerra TY
I did not know about your cooking channel so thanks for saying that!
Love your video… always walk away with new ideas
My yard long beans keep growing back just ripped more out because the aphids love them 🤦♀️
Thanks for the reminder for starting seeds indoors for later. I always miss that part. Going to get a head start this year. I didn't know about your recipe channel, going to check that out now.
wow so much!!!
Snake behind you at 16:33 had me screaming.
There is also a yellow tomatillos.
I like that you describe the flavor and give cooking ideas for the harvest.
❤❤❤❤❤
A lot of great information. However, I would love it if you were to speak slower.
I'm in Roseville California CA
and I'm in zone 9B in Roseville California CA
Thank you
Where are you from? I'm from Australia, pretty hot in January haha, not sure it applies there..
My tomatoes have soo much green tomatoes on them. I'm hoping they make it . Through the cool weather.
Hello Jerra, I have a question(s) regarding the blue flowers.
2024 was my first year really amending my heavy clay soil in NE Louisiana. I used my 2023 soil test to bring up the PH and macros and got a decent fall crop, so excited about spring 2025. The garden is laid out like an American flag. Red and White clover should do nicely for my target of July 04, 2026. I am hoping to try your blue flowers for the field of stars, not ambitious enough to spot 50 white flowers…yet…maybe.
Google Earth photos have been in June lately, so I am hoping to time the blooms for the clover and blue flowers for my fly over picture in June and, obviously my July, 04 250 year celebration.
Do you have any advice regarding timing the bloom, or should I just buy and try?
Jerra, Love the video. thank you! one small correction to keep in mind. you reference your zone 10a/10b USDA zones, but reminder these have nothing to do with last frost date, nothing to do with the soring/summer temperatures, and are purely based on the absolute minimum cold only.. so some of us in the same zone as you (coastal San Diego) can grow peas all the way until July being in a zone with no frosts, yet also not hot weather until August. Us gardeners need a better alternative to the USDA zones to talk about garden varieties. The Sunset garden guide zones was quite sophisticated, taking into account factors like wind, humidity, frost dates and more. Sunset had about 25 garden zones, but I think has sadly fallen out of favor.
Would be great to address northern planting suggestions. Very disappointed to hear mostly about southern warm climates.
Jerra, Knowing how big each plant gets is so important and I never see it mentioned anywhere. Editing a picture of your mature plants with you standing next to it would be so helpful
Thank you for this video. Do you have list of flower seeds I could plant in January?
A lot of great info here ! Subbed!
My experience is my basal is prolific dumps.seeds every year only bought 1 years ago. Dill, on the other hand, forget it. Won't grow for me. 10a swfl
Amazing, Jerra! I just love your videos! 💜🪴💜
Great tips, thank you. I am in zone 9a, Tucson, Arizona. Going to order new varieties you’ve mentioned.🌵👩🌾🎅🎄🐓
Thank you so mcuh for the red solo cup advice! never thought of that and alsoso much more information!!
I have replanted tomatoes the minute the floods left after the hurricane Milton in October in Daytona. The tomatoes are very full of tomatoes and flowers still. What do I do? Can I leave them and wait?
I struggle with beets here in 9b central Fl. Also, cucumbers…any variety always get Powdery Mildew or infested with pickle worms no matter what I organically spray with or pick off. I have tried China Jade, Tromboncino and they all succumb. I will try this year with 2 varieties I bought from Eden seeds that claim to be powdery mildew resistant. Love your channel. Have learned so much from you.
Happy New Year Jerra 😊 I live in Sarasota zone 10a I started my tomoteaos in October and they are almost ready to harvest. I have already picked a few. So I do think you an grow them sooner in zone10a. Thank you Jerra you are a wealth of knowledge. I will check out your other channel.
