Friend lost quite a few plans thanks to the frost last year in Auburndale. Now I'm a little more north of that and wonder how that will effect mine. Are you in north Florida and do you get a lot of bad freezes there?
I live on a lake which makes irrigation a little bit easier. I'm wondering how nutrient rich the muck from the lake is. I use the lake water for watering the lawn when we aren't in drought, it always does great on the general plants so I'm interested in the benefits to my plants. If anyone is interested I'll post more detail in another thread once I start getting results.
I just planted from a pretty successful germination.
I'm in East Central part not north area. We usually get 3-7 days of frost on any given winter. But its spoty as in my front lawn will frost but not the back near the trees etc. Just covering with a light sheet or under an over hanging tree is often ewnough protection.

I remember that day, occurred around Feb or so. I got pictures of the car electronic temp sensor saying its 16. This was in Belleview on 484. I grew up in Ocala but lived in Orlando for the past 10 years or so until I moved back. Its amazing the temp difference between Orlando and Ocala driving between the two every day.
On topic, I dropped my sprouts in pots last night and this morning they already started coming up through the dirt.

Despite the stress they look very pretty!Trust me, I can laugh about it now
On a completely different note... I'm officially going back to school. I will be spending time with the head professor and touring the campus in two weeks! I'm so thrilled to be getting my life back on track and starting my Masters Degree. I can't wait to sit and experience structured learning instead of the random 'I want to know ...' shit I've been doing for the last decade. Here's to my future life as a career student!

Hey RT glad see you are happy about the future. Never liked structured learning...I was a straight C/D student..I like to learn by doing...I guess thats the old way
