How does your garden grow?

I like having a garden, but I'm no expert.  That's why I love the resources available from the UF/IFAS Extension office.

One of my favorites is their Florida Gardening Calendar - a month by month guide to what I should be planting and doing each month.

They also offer a wealth of general information like which plants grow best in our area, when to plant, gardening techniques for lazy gardeners (who, me?), pest control and so much more. 

If I can't find an answer on the site, I can always call the Master Gardener 'hotline' at (352) 955-2402 or 'Ask Wendy.'

Of course, we don't want to forget the many, many gardening resources available here at your library as well!
