Since we are new to Florida, can anyone tell me what we could plant and when? We would like a small garden and have no idea what to plant. Where we came from, corn wasn't ready until late July/August and here I understand it's over here. We'd like some cucumbers, tomatoes, lettuce, carrots and maybe some other veggies. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Plant a veggie garden of any size and I'd suspect the local critters will discover it and declare it "The Neighborhood Buffet". They'll probably be having their meals there on a daily basis. :D

And no fences are allowed per the deed restrictions........

Bill :)What about inside a birdcage? I remember recently hearing that a small percentage of space inside the birdcage is allowed for a modest amount of plantings. I think it was around 10%, but not sure. I think it may have come from our swimming pool/birdcage salesman but can't remember that for sure either. :confused:

Be sure to buy the type of plants that are meant for our area of the country (heat resistant). We have tried to plant tomatoes 4 years in a row. The first three in the ground and they didn't turn out well. This year we bought Phoenix plants and put them in a large pot with amended soil on the patio. We have loads of tomatoes this year and they are all beautiful. When we first moved here into a new area there were no bees to pollinate the flowers either. I think that may have been part of the problem.

Yes, containers are the way to go!

In my yard here, I can't even get weeds to grow. Gotta test that soil! :laugh:
