I know it’s only the beginning of July.

I start many seeds this week for fall. That means I better get organized!  

One way that helps me is too create charts and drawings of what I will be growing and selling.  It gives me peace of mind once it is down on paper, otherwise all I do is think, “I need to do this!”  If you get that anxious feeling too, this might help.  Here is a picture of my chart click on it to see larger..  If you live in Central Fl.  you can use this too.  For crops not listed see the Fl. Planting Guide below.

  • Adding new beds, growing areas etc.
  • Address your watering plan and supports needed
