🌿 Florida Vegetable, Herb & Flower Planting Guide (Hardcopy)
Your complete Florida gardening reference — tailored for our unique growing zones. This full-color, beautifully printed guide takes the guesswork out of when and what to plant so you can grow confidently all year long.
✅ What’s Inside
- Covers vegetables, herbs, and flowers for every Florida season
- Month-by-month planting schedules that tell you exactly what to transplant and direct sow
- Monthly preparation reminders for prep actions such as seed starting, pre-ordering strawberry starts, or vernalizing seed garlic
- Region-specific timing for North, Central, and South Florida
- Includes both "What to Plant Now" and "What to Prep Now" sections
📍 Choose Your Region
Select from three versions designed specifically for Florida’s unique microclimates:
- North Florida — cooler winters and shorter summers. For the purpose of this guide, North Florida is considered all of Florida North of State Road 40.
- Central Florida — balanced growing seasons and year-round potential. For the purpose of this guide, Central Florida is considered all of Florida South of State Road 40 and North of State Road 70.
- South Florida — tropical timing for heat-loving crops. For the purpose of this guide, South Florida is considered all of Florida South of State Road 70.
If you're on the border between North and Central, I recommend North. It is more cautious about avoiding frost in late winter.
If you're on the border between Central and South, I recommend South. It is more cautious about waiting for temperatures to drop before planting cool weather crops in fall.
Choose your region above, and grow with confidence — no more guessing what thrives where you live!
How Seed Starting Is Shown in This Guide
You’ll notice that “Start Seeds” tasks often appear one month before the planting window for a crop. This is intentional. Many Florida crops need to be started early so transplants are ready as soon as planting conditions are right.
While many vegetables can be succession-sown, this guide does not list repeated seed-starting cycles. That choice was made to keep the guide clear, beginner-friendly, and aligned with the timing you’ll see in my videos and other Florida gardening content.
Instead, the guide focuses on the two main seed-starting waves Florida gardeners typically follow:
-
Late summer (fall planting with both warm & cool season crops)
-
Mid-winter (warm-season crops like tomatoes, peppers, and eggplant)
This approach keeps planning simple without overwhelming you with extra pages or conflicting timelines.

So helpful! Not only does it tell me what to start and when it tells me what to start in pots from seed vs direct sowing. Knowing sun/shade and water requirements would also be helpful. My garden is shaded on the south side and parts of the west side are 12+hrs of sun. I also need drought tolerant plant idea for my front yard which gets too much sun and not enough water. HOA requires a green lawn but there's a county water ban🤯
Thanks Jenn!
Love the laminated pages. Appreciate the content is broken down month to month.
I enjoy that the veggies are also broken down into the variety
Love the book My plan is to refer back to it every Sunday to plan my week.
Very comprehensive and detailed format. Easy to read and understand! I’ve planned my fall garden based on this book.
This guide is perfect for me. I gardened in the Pacific Northwest and really needed help with the timing and variety differences.
The guide is very easy to use and is very helpful in planning my garden crops for the year!!
This is a wonderful book that helps me when to mnow when to exactly plant and what! Love it
The guide has really useful information for the home gardener. I tried planting vegetables before and they all died because of the heat. Now i can grow them with confidence. The best part is that it has all the info without unnecessary facts or pictures that just distract from what you need. Its precise and concise. I love it.
Gives great guidance on what works best for Florida planting.
LOVE THIS! This is exactly what I have been trying to fiind I am not an experienced gardener and want to grow a food security garden in our area. Simple and chart based!
I was very disappointed in this book. I bought the central Florida edition for my sister. It is just a list of plants to plant and things to do in the garden, month by month. No additional information about what kind of soils the plants need, how to vernalize garlic, how to fertilize, etc. I just googled "What to plant now in Central Oahu," where I live, and got a similar list from Google AI. I don't remember how much I paid, but I think it's too much.
Practical and easy to use. Great for those who don’t want to be overwhelmed. I love it.
Since I'm a transplant myself. Florida seasons have me befuddled. Your guide is great and to the point. A lot of options for plants and when to start gardening.
Very helpful to someone who is a transplant from Northern IL. Thanks for your hard work in putting it all together.
Helpful, convenient and easy to use.
Lots of great information for south Florida.
It's so easy to follow. It's a great reference for a beginner like myself!
All good!
It’s awesome and really easy to understand
Thanks for putting the time and detail into the book
Very informative…. And I learned gardening wise, Gainesville is considered “North Florida; so now I can say I have lived in South Florida (Naples), Central Florida ( Orlando-north), and North Florida! Had a Butterfly Garden in Naples and lots of citrus, a few container gardens of veggies in Orlando on a roof balcony where deer and bear couldn’t get them— that ended when a snake slithered out of an overhanging tree limb and landed next to me. Guess I will givecit a go in Gainesville now— lots og info. In this guide!
MY WIFE LOVES THIS!
Very informative!
Finally, real Florida planting advice. Thank you !!!
It's a great book, and seems water resistant.
Love this book. I have finally found out why my plants are not doing well. Planting is definitely different from the Northeast to the south.
Im 73 and a gardener for most of them. I find your guide the best for central florida
This book helps get my gardening process organized. I love watching the authors videos on youtube. She is an exceptional resource for central Florida gardeners.
I love it! Ordered a second copy as a gift.💜
Excellent reference guide specific to the area.
Love my North Florida Planting Guide. It takes the guess work out of standing in front of the seed display trying to focus on minuscule print stating which months things thrive. And there’s always only a 3 month window of growth. The Planting Guide tells me when to get the seeds. I’ll be prepared now!
Not what I thought it would be. Just gives me dates to plant.
Very helpful!
