FLORIDA GARDENING
Everyone knows it can be difficult to keep a garden flourishing in the Florida climate...here is some great information to get your garden going!  Florida summers are brutal on plants. The majority of vegetables and flowers you are familiar with growing in other parts of the country are started in Fall and Winter in all but the northern sections of Florida. There are some things you can grow in the Florida summer season. Your best starting resource is the information from the University of Florida Extension Service. The website provides lists of vegetables, fruits, flowers, and everything in between, when to grow them and what varieties to plant for your area of Florida.
