Plant These 16 Crops RIGHT NOW in the South (Before It's Too Late)
Most gardening videos you're watching right now were not made for us. They were made for people up north just getting out of winter. If you live in Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Texas, Louisiana, or anywhere in the Deep South, we are in a completely different season. It was a windy one out here today. You might notice some camera shake but the content is worth it. Summer is about four weeks away. The window is closing. In this video I walk you through 6 crops I'm putting in the ground right now plus 10 more proven crops that love Southern heat and keep producing all summer long.
