Hi edible gardeners and edible garden supporters!
Yes, indeed the rainy season of Summer is still here. It is still great weather for planting tropical fruit trees along with a wide variety of heat tolerant veggies, herbs and soil building cover crops. However, the cool season is practically just around the corner, which means that soon gardening outdoors won't be so sultry, and you'll be able to start planting cool weather edible plants too! I recommend late September or October as the optimum time for starting to plant cool weather crops. 
Before I forget, tomorrow, Saturday August 27th I will be giving a lecture on Organic Edible Gardening for South Florida. It will be from 1-3 p.m. at Flamingo Gardens in Davie, FL. Cost for the lecture is free with a paid admission to Flamingo Gardens.

Also, our special pricing for planting bananas in South Florida Edible Landscapes is still available, but ending soon. For a limited time, customers can choose from 4 varieties of banana plants and have it planted correctly for only $50! Planting includes weed removal, adding lots of compost, organic fertilization, and mulching... Its truly a great deal, but won't be this low for much longer! One can expect to harvest bananas about a year after planting and then repeatedly for many years to come :)....
Anyway, I hope that all of you are having great summers. Ready-to-Grow Gardens is grateful for your support in making what we do possible. Remember, there are many things that one can do to improve or prepare an edible garden in the summer. Many of you may need compost and mulch to improve the fertility of your soil. We now can deliver these in quantities of up to 10 cubic yards.
Also, remember that Ready-to-Grow Gardens offers the service of providing garden makeovers. This might appeal to some of you that could use help getting your garden planted and in top shape for the fall.

Also, if anyone would like to send me a written testimonial supporting RTGG I'd be grateful, as I'd like to include some on the website. Also, pictures of your garden are always welcome, and if you have a website and would like to add www.ready-to-grow.com as a link, that would be awesome!

Remember, supplementing your diet with produce grown in your own garden is one of the best things you can do for the planet, and yourself. If you'd like some help with this, Ready-to-Grow Gardens is here.
