Gardening In The Sunshine State Tips From Florida Experts
University of Florida horticulturists advise starter solutions when transplanting annuals like zinnia to boost establishment. They detail fertilizer mixes for sand and muck soils, seed starting in light-rich flats, peat pots for easy transplanting, and careful seeding in trenches with moisture control. For lawns, apply 16 pounds of 6-6-6 per 1 000 sq ft, avoid overfertilizing, and fertilize ryegrass now. Plan gladiolus planting every three weeks, harvest five weeks after bloom, then store bulbs with dusts to control pests. For more gladiolus details, seek Agricultural Extension Circular 188.
