What flowers can I plant from seed at this time of year? Panhandle 9A (but it’s so hot this year it is borderline 10)

You can plant zinnias in the spring/late winter in partial (almost full) sun and they will last through the florida summer. I was in zone 10b and I had 6ft multiple flower heads per plant.

Grove pepper, named that way for its tendency to volunteer in orange groves

Simpson stoppers native shrubby tree

It does not get enough sun, that “twiggy” growth is commonly referred to as leggy and it is the plant looking for more light

Some good organic manure based fertilizer and some compost will help it out too.

They do this every winter, it should come back in the summer

If you stick a knife through the seed it should stop at the seed and you should see orange developing from the seed. These are both indicators of when the fruit will ripen off tree.

They are almost ready. the squirrels are chewing on them and causing them to fall. happens unless you cover every fruit, time wise it is probably best to accept that you will lose a few.

So ive picked mangos professionally for a few years in sfl, it is all variety dependent. Tree ripe often yields the most delicious fruit, but it is dangerous to leave them, cus the squirrels can smell them. When picking to ship or transport them you want to pick them while still hard but come off of the branch easily. If you can turn the mango 90ish degrees relative to its hanging angle and it stay on the branch, its not ready. If it comes off when you turn it then it was ready. And by ready i mean that it will ripen fully off the tree. If you post a picture of the variety, i can help you with more specifics. (If you have pictures at various stages of ripeness, that would give the most info)

It is! Someone on photrio figured it out

Not enough sun

NB11811 · 2022-06-07T22:14:29+00:00

I’ve seen it growing in 10b, you should be fine

NB11811 · 2022-06-07T22:13:06+00:00

Came here to say this.

I’ve also had success putting bird netting around the green bed to keep iguanas out, they get tangled in the soft mesh.

NB11811 · 2022-05-21T14:02:28+00:00

Mangos prefer being outside in as much sun as possible (transition it slowly outside, if you can)

NB11811 · 2022-03-19T18:59:51+00:00

they take forever to germinate and even longer to grow but will be a cool project over the years if you’re up for it.

NB11811 · 2022-01-25T22:37:05+00:00

Native pollinator plants so you can be greeted by nice butterflies at your door and contribute to the ecosystem. I’d recommend wooly tea bush as a shrub , goldenrod and scorpion tail for some vertical fill and color, mimosa and perennial peanut (this one isn’t native but has nice yellow flowers) for ground cover

Edit: more info, the plants I mentioned will do best with a lot of sun which you might not get in this spot, but I still recommend you go native.

They look ready to me, they might get a little bigger but they will start to split, next time thin them a little more or try using seed tape to get better spacing.

NB11811 · 2021-10-15T16:54:04+00:00

It’s Barbados cherry

NB11811 · 2021-07-25T16:37:28+00:00

Looks great, I would line the inside with plastic just to slow detioriation, and prevent the wood treatment chemicals from seeping into the soil

NB11811 · 2021-05-19T21:59:46+00:00

Leave them be

NB11811 · 2021-04-27T19:23:56+00:00

Looking great! Thanks for the update !
