These are the garden products, tools, and supplies I actually use and recommend in my own Florida garden. If you've seen something in one of my videos, at a seminar, or in my garden, there's a good chance you'll find it here.
These are a few of the products and growing systems I use constantly in my own garden.
Raised beds are the foundation of my garden, and I've used Vego beds for years. I love that they're durable, modular, and available in so many sizes and configurations for different spaces.
GreenStalks are one of my favorite ways to grow a lot of food in a small footprint. I use mine throughout the year for everything from strawberries and herbs to beans and carrots.
I grow my citrus trees in these rolling planters. They give the roots plenty of growing space while still letting me move the trees around when I need to.
I start a huge portion of my garden from seed, so my seed-starting setup gets used constantly. I love Vego's reusable cells and trays, and I've built much of my seed-starting setup around their system.
I'm always asked where I buy my seeds! These are the seed companies I shop from most often, and each one has something a little different that keeps me coming back.
One of my favorite one-stop seed shops because I can usually find vegetables, herbs, and flowers all in one order. Two of my favorites to look for are Zeolights calendula and Orient Wonder yardlong beans.
A great source when I'm looking for varieties suited to Southern gardens and harder-to-find Southern heirlooms. This is usually where I get my Seminole pumpkin seeds.
A convenient option when I need common garden varieties quickly. They're sold on Amazon, so they're especially useful when I realize I need something and don't want to wait on a larger seed order.
I love supporting a fellow Florida gardener, and Jerra carries varieties that are actually relevant to our climate. This is where I always get my Texas 1015 short-day onion seeds.
My go-to when I'm looking for high-performing hybrids. I sourced all of my hybrid tomatoes here this year, including Granadero, Juliet, Celebrity Plus, and Big Beef Plus.
I love browsing Baker Creek for interesting and unusual varieties, but there's one seed that keeps me coming back: Monika cucumber. It's my favorite cucumber I've grown.
The tools I reach for again and again in my own garden, from everyday planting and pruning to harvesting and garden maintenance.
These are my pruning shears for bigger cuts, and I especially love the smaller size. They're designed for smaller hands, so I find them much more comfortable and easy to control than oversized pruners.
One of my favorite all-purpose garden tools. I use my hori hori for planting, digging, cutting through roots, dividing plants, and all kinds of little jobs where I don't want to grab a larger tool.
These are my go-to snips for harvesting and detailed garden work. They're lightweight, precise, and great when I need something smaller and more nimble than my pruning shears.
The watering tools and irrigation supplies I use to keep my garden watered efficiently, from raised beds to containers and seedlings.
For raised beds, I prefer emitter tubing because it makes it easy to run evenly spaced irrigation throughout the bed without placing an individual dripper at every plant. This Rain Bird kit is a simple way to set up drip irrigation in the garden.
I love having a retractable hose reel in the garden for quick hand watering, filling watering cans, and everyday cleanup. The hose stays contained instead of becoming one more thing I'm constantly dragging around and putting away.
I use watering ollas in my elevated garden bed. You bury the olla in the soil, fill it with water, and the porous terracotta gradually releases moisture as the surrounding soil dries. It's a simple, low-tech way to keep plants consistently watered.
