The Florida Perennial Garden: Easy Plants That Thrive in Heat, Sand & Humidity

FOR FLORIDA AND TROPICAL GARDENERS: This book is written for zones 9b through 11. Central Florida, South Florida, and tropical and subtropical climates. Tired of replanting your garden every single year? There is a better way.Most gardening books are written for gardeners up north. Here in Florida, our brutal summers, heavy humidity, and sudden cold snaps kill the perennials those books swear will thrive in zones 8 to 10. I learned this the hard way. I killed $300 worth of blueberry bushes and watched expensive asparagus crowns rot in the summer rain before I accepted the truth: Florida needs its own playbook.This book is that playbook.Inside, you will find the perennial crops that actually survive and produce in our heat, sand, and humidity. Some you know from the grocery store. Others will sound brand new, until you realize a neighbor three blocks over has been quietly harvesting them for years. No theory. No copy-paste advice from gardening websites. Just real results from my backyard food forest in West Central Florida, where I grow more than 100 perennial crops.You will learn:Which fruit trees handle our sugar sand and clay soils, and why many nurseries sell you the wrong rootstockThe Caribbean and tropical crops that shrug off August heat while your neighbors' tomatoes give upExactly how to plant on mounds so your trees do not drown, because Florida drainage is terribleWhy cassava might be the most forgiving crop you will ever growThe truth about mulch in Florida. What works up north creates problems herePerennial vegetables that keep producing while you are at work, with the kids, or too tired to gardenWho I am: I am an independent author. No publishing house behind me. Just a husband and father of four in West Central Florida, writing and publishing these books through our own family company with one goal: get real food growing in as many backyards as possible. My wife Toni and I share the whole garden, wins and failures, on our YouTube channels GrowFitFL and RootedinJs. When you buy this book, you are not paying a corporation. You are joining a movement of everyday families taking back their food, one yard at a time.
