RE: Picking the Right Vegetables to Grow
Really great tips! Thank you.
I do have an orange tree, a banana tree, and i finally was able to start a avocado & a coconut. The avocado has been like my child lol. The coconut is not growing so well. Any tips on where to get decent seeds? Im thinking about lettuce, potatoes, carrots, corn squash etc. Also how do i know the quality of the soil i have or does it matter. I live on whats left of an old orange grove.
Hmm... I admit I tend to not worry too much about soil quality but it does have an impact. But since I'm in it for the long haul I just keep growing and keep adding mulch (wood chips, fall leaves, etc.) which makes the soil a little bit better each year. I just released a blog post on mulch you might find useful. I will be making a Steemit post about it tomorrow.
As far as seeds I find Baker Creek to be a good source for vegetable seeds. They have a lot of options and some rare/old varieties.
Good luck!
Really appreciate it thank you 🙏
