It is a fantastic time for gardeners in central Florida to get ready for spring! EarthBox gardening is such a great option for maximizing space and getting great yields. The weekly EarthBox gardening classes are a perfect way for beginners or experienced gardeners to learn more.
We recommend slicing tomatoes such as, Tasti-Lee, Loretta, Celebrity, and Charger tomatoes as solid choices for central Florida. The Tasti-Lee, with its sweeter flavor, and the versatile Celebrity, known for its durability and high yield, are definitely favorites. Charger and Loretta are great for both heat tolerance and disease resistance. These varieties should do well in the warmer spring conditions.
Light watering over the top in the first couple of weeks really helps to establish strong roots before the EarthBox’s water reservoir comes into play. Encouraging deep root growth at the start gives the plants a good foundation for healthy growth and productivity. Once you start filling the water tube, the consistent moisture will be perfect for steady, even watering.
