North Florida Garden Planning

I am itching to plant!  This warm weather we’re having in North Florida is messing with everything.  We have trees blooming and pollen everywhere.  Since it’s technically not planting season, I have started to think about what sorts of herbs I would like to plant.  This isn’t easy to figure out for me because I don’t have a good knowledge of plants, planting seasons, etc.  I really am at a loss, so if anybody has a good website/blog about planting things in North Florida let me know!  In the mean time, I thought the least I could do was get some ground ready for my future herbal garden.

I was either on pinterest or google image search last week and I saw this simple method of making a garden.  No tilling required!  All you do is get some cardboard, line the edges with stones to hold it down and then put dirt on top.  The cardboard is biodegradable so eventually it will decompose.  When I do want to plant deeper all I need to do is cut a hole in the cardboard below… and there will be no grass to get rid of since that’s what the cardboard is doing for me.   G and I had a fun time doing this project.  He was helping me shovel with his spoon.  What a cutie pie.
