Loving it! I like knowing what will thrive in our growing zone. I was wondering if you've ever tried kiwi?
It's GREAT! Just what I needed. I'm presently sharing the book with my FLORIDA friends and neighbors. Thank you for such a helpful and easy to understand book.
I gardened in Kentucky, Illinois and New Jersey with a fair amount of luck. Down here I haven’t! So I am trying to grow stuff down here more suited to the environment we have. Your book has been very helpful
Love, Love,Love your book. It’s so informative and I really appreciate the candid way of how you explain things. I especially like the ( can it grow in a pot) because that’s is my preference. The photos are especially great since I am a visual learner and the best part is the , secrets no one tells you, the kitchen tips, and so much more. The whole book is like having you as a neighbor and me asking what and how to grow this or that. Thank you so much. Oh and btw, on one of your videos you mention your husband is very excited about the little miss figgy fig tree, I laughed so hard because I have my first fig tree in a pot and I’m just as excited. Toni, thank you for this book.
If you’ve ever felt defeated by Florida’s heat, bugs, or sandy soil, this book feels like a friend who has already made the mistakes and is now handing you the shortcuts. Toni Jefferson keeps it real, she doesn’t sugarcoat the challenges, but she shows you exactly how to grow food that actually thrives here.
What I love most is the way she blends practical tips with encouragement. You can tell this comes from lived experience, not just theory. The writing is approachable, funny at times, and motivating. It’s not just about planting, it’s about creating a garden that works with Florida’s wild climate instead of against it.
This guide is perfect for beginners who don’t want to waste money on plants that will die in the heat, and even seasoned gardeners will pick up new insights. After reading, you’ll feel more confident, more prepared, and actually excited to get your hands in the dirt.
