South Florida Gardening
This site is a compilation of sites that relate to South Florida gardening.
Gardening in South Florida is very unique. We don't have to prepare our
plants for freezes and barely have droughts. We can't plant certain plants
because our climate is so different than other parts of the US. As time
provides, I will include pictures of my yard as they are created and
developed. In the mean time, enjoy the links.
