Fall Plantings

The oppressive heat is over, and our best growing time is here. This is when Floridians can grow vegetables and not worry about the heat killing them. Sure, there's a chance a frost will come, but for most winter vegetables that's not a problem.

I still have an abundant supply of cayenne peppers, basil, and rosemary. The basil is in pots, while the other two are in the square foot plot. A few weeks ago, I added broccoli, bibb and red leaf lettuce, spinach, green onions, and tomatoes.

I also bought a stevia plant, and I fully admit it was the novelty that made me do it. I have no idea what to do with it, so I guess Google will have to help me figure it out.
