Florida Gardening: the Newcomer's Survival Manual, Second Edition Monica Moran Brandies 2nd edition

Even experienced gardeners who move to Florid need help in coping with their new landscape and garden. The climate, soil, plants, and pests are so different from those in other places that the old techniques won't always do the job. Neither will garden guides written for a northern climate. Here is a garden guide written just for Florida. This new edition is greatly expanded but has Monica's friendly, informative advice, just as it always did. Avoid mistakes and take a quick path to garden success. This books tells how to prepare for the move, avoid costly mistakes, evolve a landscape plan, make the right lawn and landscape choices, turn Florida sand into rich garden soil, use mulches and native plants to reduce labor and water, grow your own veggies and fruits, and decorate your home, patio, pool, and garden with amazing Florida plants.
