| Beginning gardener looking for some interesting edibles to grow here in the FL panhandle. I have an indoor setup under t5ho/t8s in my garage to get things started and have near future plans for a small greenhouse as well as aquaponic setup. Currently doing raised beds and pots primarily. Was just wondering if anyone had some cool seeds to get going, stuff that doesn't grace the shelves of the big box anyhow. This will be my first serious growing season utilizing quality compost and actual research/study in the hobby. I'm excited to get my family more sustainable and teach the kids how to grow. I really like the idea of perennial type edibles but am still very new at this so open to suggestions! As far as trade goes, the only mildly interesting thing I have currently is Calamondin seed (Kalamansi) from a plant that has been growing for well over a decade, lived right through a few hard frosts here and there, and still produces (and needs to be trimmed, it's 12+ft tall!
Thanks again and glad to be part of the community! |
