What are you growing down there in Fla? Stop by the thread from time to time and let us all know how things are growing.

I post the thread each Friday.

I am in South Florida so we pretty much have an annual growing season although I do plant according to optimum growing cycles as published by USF...they have a set of resources for information.

Right now I have tomato (variety), sugar snap peas, winter squash, peppers (variety), lettuce (variety), cukes, brocoli, radishes, carrots, onion (variety), spinach.

I am working on a gardening system that will work well on enclosed lanai’s starting with a dirt system and then I want to perfect a “portable” closed loop hydroponic system.

I think creating a gardening system for the elderly and making it affordable would be a really important addition to their lives.

You go to the grocery store today and you can’t even buy a head of brocoli for a $1 but you can buy two hamburgers from McD’s. Something is wrong with this picture nothing against McD’s...(I love Scottish food - :P ) but we need to fix this produce issue in our country.

It shouldn’t cost an arm and a leg to eat healthy.
