What to plant in January and February
This is the best time of the year for growing veggies in Florida. You can think of it as our main growing season. If you would like to start a vegetable garden. Now is a great time. The days are starting to let a little longer each day since the winter solstice and plants love the potential for more sunshine. You can plant greens and flowering crops like: Lettuces, kale, collards, swiss chard, mustard greens, arugula, broccoli, cilantro, dill, parsley, oregano, thyme, cauliflower, cabbage, snap peas, snow peas. And you can grow root crops like: carrots, beets, radishes, turnips, parsnips, rutabaga, onions.
This time of year you can start your tomato, pepper, and eggplant seedlings. Keep them in a protected area in case of a light frost. You want to get tomatoes started early, because they will not grow very long past May in the Florida heat and humidity.

We are so pleased to announce that one of our farm family members is starting her own small farm adventure. Katie Harper is the smiling face who greets our community at Farmers Market. It has been our privilege to learn and grow with her for several years. Now she is branching out on her own with The Sprout Stand
NSB native, Elizabeth Dannemiller Merachnik, owns and operates Green Flamingo Organics. After gardening at Organic Farms across the country through WWOOF USA, Liz has come back to her home town to help bring organic produce to her community.
We are dedicated to making sure that all people in our community have the right to organic produce. In 2020 we started the Giving Garden, a garden space where 100% of the produce goes to our local food bank (Gifts of Love in Edgewater). If you want to get involved- contact us.
