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.
Florida Weeds For Bees and Pollinators
Attract and help pollinators by simply letting some Florida native “weeds” grow in the yard. Many are easy to get along with and very pretty.
Growing a New Bean; Scarlet Runner
Planting a few Scarlet Runner beans this Fall to see how they do in my Florida garden.
Disgusted and Sad at My Changed Yard View
The lot next to me has been cleared and I now have no trees and a view of a muddy landscape. This changed my thoughts on gardening.
Thank you for sharing!
