About me: farming over 75 years, in the good old earth and now in the earth boxes, this is the way to grow. I get 50 lbs of tomatoes from each plant. Some many beans from an area of 2 square feet you won’t belive. And no weeds or hoeing. Raise the best citrus had sold all my fruit from the farm. Honey so sweet that I was known as the KING bee. Had to sale the farm because I feel out off a grapefruit tree and broke my back and was told I would never walk again. But I fool the doctors and I now have a small place and still my citrus trees and my bees came with me and have my garden for corn only and raise everything else in earth boxes, tomatoes, peppers, all kings of green, beans, herbs, you name it I got it. Started raising blueberries in containers.

My zone is: Polk,Fla
