Very informative , thank you!
Nice information
Suggestion, use a photographers’ app to track the sun at your location to estimate the amount of sun you will get.
Very happy I found this im zone10a fort Myers Florida
hi what is the tree with the red fruit/vegtable on it behind you?
Hello, Tampa beginner gardener here. Iβve an existing large garden bed box that gets full sun all day till 6pm. I am thinking nothing will survive our FL summers, unless it has shade. What grade of mesh would you suggest for a summer garden? I have seedlings of carrots, beans, green onion, cucumber …again a total neub here. Any shade advise appreciated, I know thereβs different grades but no idea what needed for this zone.
Are you in St.Petersburg? Good luck thanks for the information.

Thank you so much for sharing!
Nice efort
On one side of my house it gets no sun at all but the ground is clear and I would love to take advantage and grow any edible that could possibly grow there, any suggestions pleaseee?
Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Great info. I’m starting a garden again after about 20 plus years and have forgotten a Bunch!! I have watched many good garden channels, but could never find one for our specific area. It’s nice to re-learn what grows here & when. Thanks!
Thank you for info. I have had to change the way I garden since moving to Florida.
I’ve selected a site that may have too much sun. Any recommendations for adding a little shade?
