Good Morning RD!
Still have plans for a fall/winter garden once I heal from hip replacement.
I’m dreaming of multi variety lettuce crop with winter onions, radishes and a few surprises. Any suggestions for a zone 9 Florida November/December garden?
Hope you are well!
Well, if this coming winter is anything like the previous, have an easy to set up covering made for your garden to protect against frost. A tunnel made from woven wire that you can easily throw a blanket over in the evening is one idea...
You also may wish to utilize a square foot garden due to the poor, pest-infested FL soil. Another option is a global bucket system. You can look both of those up to get the details.
I moved up to WI this past June, so I won’t be planting any Nov/Dec garden...lol
Well, I'm a complete rookie, but I had good luck last winter with calabrese broccoli, New Zealand spinach, Simpson black seed lettuce, and southern curled mustard. Kentucky wonder pole beans struggled with the frosts (so did I!), but once the weather cleared produced prolifically.
My cauliflower didn't do much, but what I did get tasted amazing. Utah (#57?) celery grew very well, but the stalks never thickened up.
This year I'm cutting back on the greens, because I had more than I knew what to do with, and growing (hopefully) more broccoli and cauliflower. Also trying a couple types of cabbage, as a neighbor seemed to have pretty good luck with his.
I'm almost in Tampa, with most of the garden getting full direct sun for only about half the day.
