Hello from Northwest Florida, Zone 8b

Hello all! I'm a gardening newbie with hardly any experience, little time due to working full-time, and limited financial resources.

I live within city limits and would love to become less dependent on local supermarkets when it comes to veggies and fruit. My goal is to be able to grow the majority of my food when I reach retirement age in 10 years. Smile

First book to read in my opinion.

And, this is the second book to read I believe. This book really opened my eyes to the Living Soil Food Web.

Yes This is a book everyone who deals with any type of plant, tree, or shrub nourishment should read.

Hi Nico. Welcome from Atlanta, GA! Glad you've joined us.

You've gotten some good info already. I would also encourage you to look at the archives - especially for posts from DStack & Yolos.

DStack is down in the Miami area (I believe), so a little warmer. But he'll have some good tropical info.

Yolos is south of Atlanta, but well north of you. I THINK she's in 8a.... Again, she'll have some great info...
