In the Tampa Bay region, planting a vegetable garden or an edible forest is one of the smartest household projects you should be getting into. Many people who get started with a window sill herb planter for their kitchens end up catching a green thumb rather quickly this usually happens after they get to incorporate what they have cultivated into a delicious meal.
There is nothing like the feeling of cooking with the edibles you have planted, nurtured, and harvested. This is even better when you invite guests over to enjoy the fresh fruits you have collected from your backyard. If you have been thinking about growing edibles in your Florida home, the best time to get started is always now. Thanks to the regional climate conditions of Tampa, you can begin planting edibles in just about any season as long as they are native species.
The right way to start growing edibles is to head over to a garden center in St Petersburg, FL and choose Florida species. You don’t always have to begin with seeds; in some cases, saplings, seedlings, and other baby plants will work out better, especially if they are getting ready for pollination. When it comes to edible gardening projects, you can never go wrong with going native.
