I’ve been gardening in Florida’s Great Northwest, aka The Panhandle, for 50 years. The best growing season for me is fall, winter and very early spring. In terms of direct seeding or starts, I write off summer, from June to August. While there are things that will germinate and grow, the heat, humidity and pests, cause disease and fruit does not set. This is my time to renourish my beds and work on my compost. I start my tomatoes and peppers in January and try to have them in the ground by February. There is a chance of frost until about March but generally that doesn’t happen. By mid-June, I’ve gotten all the tomatoes I’m going to get, and the tomato plants are succumbing to disease. The peppers quit setting fruit until the weather cools, but then will have a nice second harvest. Toward the end of August, I start my winter vegetables - brassicas, lettuce, peas, etc. Our first freeze usually isn’t until December and by then, I’m harvesting my fall crops. Most of my brassicas will go right through a freeze with no problem. In December after the first freeze, I plant garlic bulbs. Putting them in the ground before that just doesn’t work. Up until December, we have days in 60s and occasionally 70s, which is too warm for garlic, but everything else loves it.

Sir, I am well impressed by your presentation of Macadamia farming prospects. Am a retired free lance, merchant investment banker and now realised, I wasted my preciouse age and I feel n need to stay away from Market temptations. With zero bank balance. Having good access to merchant banks with good credit ratings. With honesty and integrity. I am planning to aquire a 350 acre "Mango Orchard" in India. Out of 350 acres land, 100 acres are free land is available for new plantion. The other 250 acres already have 12,000 "Mango Trees" of 10 years old with goodharvests every year. My concerns are, "Mango Yield" is not economically sustainable. Hence, the other 100 acres, I am conemtemplate " Macadaia & Avocado " fruits. Both fruit's seem. Taking 5 to 7 yrs ofguestation periodto produce fruits ? Again is challenging from for a Retired man like me.? Where I am looking for sure fruit yields, with new technology or AI applications for labours. But, how a secured sure fruits harvestings and for which fruits, apart from Macadamia or Avocado I should think in terms of sure and quick harvesting patterns. I SHOULD THINK ? I will indebted to hear your comments. Since my age at hand is good health and focuss to recover the losses, I have made by loosing my preciouse time. At this age born of 1949 and having access to credit worthyness. I should refrain from unnessary liabilities and cause the lender a displeasure for lending me or assisting me to acquire 350 acres of " Mango Orchard". Am very eager to even intensify and modernise, existing "Mango Trees" Technologically for higher yields and supporting the ground realities to enhance the fruit yieldings. My Name:- Constance S. Lopez. Email:- constancesl@ yahoo.com. Whatsapp:- ±919819792947. Sorry for this long message. Would appreaciate your response to my appeal.

The house I live in here in Florida- when we bought it 12 years ago there was a little piece of metal fencing sticking up from the ground in the backyard. I finally dug it up yesterday and it's an entire roll of fencing. I am so sad. (I can't get it out!) There was also a car battery and a whole bunch of other garbage. Now I'm hesitant about planting my garden.
