In this
guide, expert botanist Ginny Stibolt and Master Gardener Melissa Markham
provide simple and accessible advice for successful vegetable gardening in
Florida, where soil types vary and cool-weather crops are grown right through
the mild winters. They offer advice on what to do with over-abundant harvests,
strategies for developing a community garden, and suggestions for opportunities
beyond the home garden. They also address integrated pest management,
appropriate raised bed types, irrigation, seed saving, just-in-time harvesting,
and food safety.

This second edition is updated with the latest scientific knowledge and
growing techniques; new crops for growers to try; more detail in the growing
calendars separated by north, central, and south Florida regions; and color
photos and illustrations throughout the text. Readers will appreciate this
reliable resource that will help them and their families become more resilient
by controlling some of their food from seed to table.
