Printed with non toxic algae ink on 100% post consumer waste paper. The packaging is recyclable or compostable once the mailing sticker is removed.
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.
Think of root vegetables as your garden's underground treasure chest! This collection brings together carrots, radishes, beets, onions, and turnips that actually thrive in Florida's unique climate. While other gardeners are battling summer heat, you'll be harvesting sweet, crisp roots during our mild winter months. These varieties are specially selected to handle our clay soils and subtropical conditions—no guessing games needed. From rainbow-hued Chioggia beets to super-fast French Breakfast radishes, each variety has been tested right here in Florida gardens. Whether you're new to growing root crops or looking to expand your winter harvest, you'll find reliable performers that deliver delicious results from October through March.
