and food safety.

growing techniques; new crops for growers to try; more detail in the growing
calendars separated by north, central, and south Florida regions; and color
photos and illustrations throughout the text. Readers will appreciate this
reliable resource that will help them and their families become more resilient
by controlling some of their food from seed to table.
