One of the things I dislike about living in Florida is the freezing temperatures in winter. If plants are growing outside in your yard, and in pots, they may need to be covered to survive the cold night.
I had tomatoes, squash and peppers growing. Also one large eggplant plant and some small ones. I was not as worried about the peas and parsley as those things like cool weather.
My vegetables are in raised beds.
My basil is pretty dead, even though I covered it along with everything else.
The good news is that I still have some basil seeds and have planted those for this new growing season.
Christmas was the long stretch of cold weather. Since then we’ve had heat and some coolness, but nothing too bad. As I am posting this, it is March and there should not be any more freezing temps.
Mid-Summer and We Have Mushrooms
July mushrooms in my Florida yard. A very large reddish-orange one and some smaller types hidden in long grass.
Growing Native Milkweed in Florida
Year two and I’m still trying to fill my yard with native milkweed plants. After the freeze, my plant number has dwindled but seed pods are showing up, which will help.
Finally, My Sweet Potato Slips Are Here!
Finally I am planting my sweet potato slips, which just arrived mid-June. It’s very hot to be gardening, but I had no choice.
Thank you for sharing!
