St. Pete / S. Tampa - free 6.5 gal. nursery containers
Comments (8)Hi Tom, So you're in St. Pete on the bay? I could definitely use some of those containers. I'm in north Tampa, though, so I'd have to sort of plan out the trip. By the way, I was just emailing with Elizabeth from Daytona, and she asked if I had met an awesome gardener named Tom from Tampa - I wonder if you're that Tom. Also, your neighbors have coconuts? I've really been wanting to try to grow a coconut palm, even though I don't know if it would survive. Do you think they might be willing to sell me a couple? Are they dwarfs or talls?...See MoreLooking for peppers in the Tampa Bay,Fl area.
Comments (9)Try to keep your eyes open at the local food stores especially the specialty food stores. Also look for the Datil hot peppers. The center for them is around St. Augustine, Florida. How far is that from you? But local florida stores should get some. Forget nurseries. You will have to learn how to germinate your own seeds if you want the best peppers.

Comments (4)Wax myrtle and wax leaf ligustrum are both fast-growing plants that will get 10 feet tall or taller. Wax leaf ligustrum has dark green glossy leaves and beautiful blooms in the spring, but you won't want to plant it if you are allergic to it. Wax myrtle is so tough, it's planted in coastal regions as a windbreak for hurricanes. Hibiscus grows fast, but doesn't take well to pruning. Keep in mind that anything you plant will take a couple of years to get established and really start growing well, then they will take off. I suggest something like Fakkahatchee grass inbetween them in the meantime while they are getting established. Not hard to take it out once they are large enough, and you may just want to leave it as an understory plant. Lemon grass is also a possibility. It spreads extremely rapidly. I started with one sprig a year ago and had to thin mine this year it was spreading so fast. You can actually buy sprigs of that in asian food stores, put them in water to get roots, and then plant them out....See Morejuneroses Z9a Cntrl Fl
