Winter fell on the first weekend of January this year in Central Florida where a cold front caused temperatures to dip just below 40° F for about half an hour. We've since returned to 80°, hot and humid, so I figured it was time to start planning my second growing season. Last year I played...

Yeah I raked the leaves and will be gradually added fresh soil and compost to the pots and pruning the ollas to leech water to the plants. Tomorrow going to plant seeds got lettuce, brocoli Rabe, carrots and herbs that the Indians used to grow in the desert.

Great looking soil. Do you add the fallen leaves for micro nutrients?

I never got the watering down correctly, for potted gardens. It's always too wet or too dry.

I water with the ollas in the center. I'll hand water until the ollas take and then just refill them. The soil I have get to from Arizona Worm Farm and I used starters for the shorter season will use the seed in the spring band will use seeds for winter veggies.

I still have 6 pots to til add soil land compost to. Just started last night night since it got cool and was around the low 100's and next week we'll be in the mid 90s so right time to get it going again after summer!

Got my raised bed going and planted my winter seeds even though it's still in the 100s.
