The Florida Plant Guide

What to plant, and the month to put it in the ground. Written for Florida, not for a magazine in Ohio.

Most gardening advice is written for somewhere else. It tells you to plant tomatoes in May. Do that here and you will spend the summer watching them die. Our seasons run backwards from the rest of the country, and nobody warns you.

Sixty one pages, free, and it covers all three regions of the state.

What is inside

  • A month by month planting calendar for North, Central and South Florida
  • Plant profiles with the varieties that actually hold up in this heat
  • Soil, water and pest notes for sand and humidity
  • Companion planting that works in a Florida bed
