Florida Fruit & Vegetable Gardening 101

There may be a lot to dislike about 2020, but on the positive side,  lots of people have taken up gardening!  This includes The Zest’s producer, Dalia Colón, who’s had her share of gardening fails in the past. But she’s ready to give it another try, with advice from Robert Bowden. He’s the executive director of Harry P. Leu Gardens in Orlando. It’s a 50-acre botanical garden that's home to thousands of ornamental flowers, fruit and vegetable plants. Bowden is also the author of Florida Fruit & Vegetable Gardening: Plant, Grow, and Harvest the Best Edibles. He spoke to Dalia about gardening do’s and don’ts, the best plants for beginners and what’s unique about gardening in Florida.
