I'm thinking of trying some plants from seeds for the next growing season as I will be in the villa starting in September. I figure I can play with the seeds as they cost next to nothing, and if they die, well, then I'll go get some plants to put in...I will only need a couple.
Moving from Ohio to Florida is going to be a huge learning curve on the planting/growing seasons. But now it will be more of a hobby and something to play around with instead of a necessary food procurement project. There is always the huge farmers market/flea market 5 miles down the highway if my stuff doesn't pan out.
Right now our courtyard is basically concrete patio/walkways with decorative stone everyplace else, a few bushes and trees, but nothing exciting. I want to plant flowering perennials interspersed with vegetables for variety. At least that's my plan....gotta figure out the irrigation system, too. Lots to occupy my time, that's for sure
