Comment by Gillian on September 8, 2009 at 4:40pm - I I live in tropical Australia. My climate seems very similar to Sarasota (I used to live in Jacksonville, and my daughter went to college in Sarasota) So I am one season behind y"all. I am heading into the wet season (it has been a very dry winter) and trying to grow some more tropical plants during the wet. Sweet potato, asparagus,eggplant, angled luffa, snake bean, jicama and peppers. For fruit I grow lychees, passionfruit, pawpaw and there is a mango tree on my sidewalk. Lots of herbs and spices, also cardamon, tumeric, ginger, lemongrass and curry leaf. I just started this garden in December when we moved here, and my "winter" garden was not really prolific with anything other than cherry tomatoes. I am building up the soil with compost, seaweed and just started growing comfrey. So hope its ok to join this group and learn from what you are doing. Maybe then I will be one step ahead!

Comment by Jennifer Brachfeld on March 11, 2009 at 8:23am - Hi there! I live in Boca Raton, and I'm currently growing cucumbers, eggplant, broccoli, carrots, beets, sugar snap peas, buttercrunch lettuce, spinach, green and wax beans, peppers, tomatoes and lots of herbs. Yum! I do wish it would rain, though! Does anyone know a rain dance? :)

Using sq. foot and container gardening because of space and soil issues. I am only growing a small amount since it is only my husband and myself.
