Fall through Spring Gardening for Florida Newcomers 12:15 pm      

Many newcomers to gardening in SW Florida will be surprised to learn how different the fall through spring seasons can be.  

When I moved to Florida from Ohio in 1981 to start ECHO’s agricultural ministry, I too was astounded at how different year-round Florida gardening can be.  This slide-illustrated talk will feature the three seasons from fall through winter and spring.  (There is not enough time to cover the VERY different summer gardening.)  We will look at how the gardening seasons change from early fall, to later fall, winter, early spring and late spring. Special attention will be given to temperature changes, protection from freezes and frost, and changes shadows will have as the sun moves north and returns.
