December Planting Guide for Florida

Mary Smith |

It's almost December so we're finally posting our planting guide for Florida.  If this is your first time reading our blog, we offer a monthly planting guide for the entire US throughout the year at Mary's Heirloom Seeds.  December means more planting in Florida!
