I planted a set of Tomatoes on November 16 and they gave me fruit in
February. Since then I have gone through that whole harvest and am well
into the next. I've been eating Zukes, Cukes, Broccoli, Beans, Summer
Squash, and Peas for three months.
I am clearing things out for our summer dead season and preparing the
early fall planting, which will be followed by the november planting.
Three harvests, with a 1 1/2 month down time around July. Another reason
why 90% of Floridians are Yankees...
Heh, heh, heh...
