Really good book, but the USDA growing zones have changed since it was published, so double check the latest UF / USDA calendar for planting dates.

My "Edibles" Florida Gardening bible

This book is an absolute must have for any Floridian gardener. It's no longer being published, but it can be found used on various internet sites. Whenever I want to plan what I'm going to plant, I consult the growing schedule provided in the book, and plan accordingly. There is detailed information and illustrations provided for each type of crop. I have a few other more attractive books about Florida vegetable gardening, but this one is where the detailed information is.
