#zone10 — Public Fediverse posts

Interesting selection of warm season #seeds from this Native Seeds Search in #Arizona. I think I have enough seeds for the summer, but the varieties here were fascinating to look through--a lot of things I've never heard of before. Some Texan and Mexican varieties that would probably work really well here in #Florida.

This is the biggest #mushroom cluster so far. Sorry, I can’t stop posting about this! It’s just so beautiful and fascinating.

Also, I’ve been looking through the mushroom hashtag and it’s mostly people identifying wild mushrooms which is great but it would be nice to see what others are growing and how it works in different regions. My buckets really started popping once the humidity returned, which is the point—growing what works easily in our climate. #gardening #zone10

Double infusion today. @deadnettlez inspired me to start a roselle oil infusion. I didn’t even realize this was a thing. The plant’s antioxidant properties make it great for hair and skin, apparently. I mean, I think I care more about the fact that it makes the oil #pink than anything else. I’m using coconut oil as my carrier. On the right, another batch of sun tea. #roselle #zone10 #TropicalPlants #HerbalRemedies #plants

Okay, we’ve got four sprouted seeds here. They took 3-4 weeks to germinate and it’ll probably be another several months until they’re large enough to be moved into their own containers. After that, it’ll be about three years until they produce fruit. #Zone10 #TropicalFruit #CustardApple #Sweetsop #Florida @gardening

This blog is a great resource for #Florida gardeners. Cody Cove Farm is in Central Florida, on the Lake Wales Ridge and they seem to be passionate about trying multiple varieties of #tropical and #subtropical cultivars and curating suggestions for the Florida home gardener based on their findings. I just purchased some seeds from their shop and hope to do one of their farm tours this fall.

I took the opportunity of a relatively cool, overcast day to feed the plantain tree. I gave it some chicken manure pellets and compost. Between the semi-regular rainfall and the olla, I haven’t had to hand water at all. I planted this guild of plantains, sweet potatoes and Thai red roselle in March. The largest plantain pup had two leaves on it at the time. I hope to see it flower by the end of the year. #zone10 #gardening #OllasByOsa #Subtropical #Florida #pottery

I planted some seeds this morning and then it finally decided to rain heavily for the first time in many days. Hallelujah! Here’s what I started. I’m #zone10 and this is an awkward time to start seeds—high heat and pest stress—so I have to be selective:

Seminole pumpkin (round two!)
Whippoorwill cowpeas
Rosita eggplant
Everglades tomatoes
Globe amaranth
Pigeon peas

I’m jealous of everyone’s cucumbers & big tomatoes. We have to wait until mid fall for that. #subtropical #gardening

My mom gave me this plant, which I know as gomphrena. It’s one of the few plants in our yard that has the energy to flower in this intense #zone10 heat. When I found out it’s also called globe amaranth, it all made sense. #Amaranth grows really well here in the summer. It’s just that the types we’ve grown bear no resemblance to gomphrena, so I was surprised to learn they are related. I’ve already collected seeds from this one. It’s not native, but it’s still a keeper. #Bloomscrolling #gardening
