Hi Lynn !! Welcome !! Where did you live before you moved to Florida ?

Welcome Lynn :-)

hello and welcome frolm upstate new york. we hve alot of gardeners from florida and they just love to talk.

I was in SC for about 4 years, then London for 4 years before that. Born in Ohio. Started most of my gardening in SC in the clay, now learning all about sand :)

Oh yeah, I got the clay--- I think I would like the sand---easier to dig and pull weeds, faster growth, and better drainage.

Ha! I think after comparing them both, I agree with you soapwort243, sand is much easier than clay. It takes very little effort to dig holes and pull up weeds. However, I think you spend that spared effort in watering 3x more often then with clay too :)

Hi Lynn and Welcome to DG.
Hope is right, you'll have lots of gardening buddies in no time at all.
You're right about watering so much here in the sand!
I don't know if you've found it yet or not but there is a Florida Forum and several people that live in your area are on there regularly.
