This is a curated collection of seeds I have found to grow well in Florida over the years. It is designed to take the overwhelm and thought process out of figuring out which varieties to select that will actually grow well here. Some of the seed is saved from myself and other small local growers for harder to source varieties that you cant find online. The majority of the seed varieties will come from larger seed supply companies like Working Food or Southern Exposure Seed Exchange to keep up with demand.
