So, I am thinking it is time to get my Fall garden started. It is hard to get ready for it, because here is FL it is still so hot! We have had a nice breeze the past few days..(Thanks Earl)! 
Where to start? I was so tickled with my Spring garden until the deer struck. I am going to try to plant things that the deer won’t eat, but then again ….I don’t think they are that picky. I typically buy my seeds just at Lowes or Home Depot. If I do I am taking my 10% off coupon with me! I may get fancy and order them from Burpee. Who knows.
I try to get the kids involved in the garden. It is a good way to teach them hands on how a garden grows, where food comes from and how seeds/plants work. I really hope it is a lesson they take with them through life. Homegrown food just tastes better.
So, what am I gonna plant?
This time around we are going to try our hand at…
- Spinach
- Lettuce
- Peas
- Collard Greens (not for me!)
- Herbs
- Okra
So, this weekend we are going to get dirty and weed the garden. Get a couple extra bags of dirt to make the garden nice and fresh. Then, start our seeds in our little green house.
I will keep you posted the whole way.

Do you have a resource that tells you what you can plant in fall in FL? I was looking last week, but didn’t find much. This is my first year gardening and my spring one didn’t do very well. I’d like to try again.
Shanna,
I don’t have a resource. The local stores tend to carry only seeds that grow in the area. When you flip the packet it tells you when you should plant, and where. I usually just go with it. You can do an internet search for your area. I searched, “Florida Fall Gardens” see what pops up. You may be surprised.
