Time passes… we’ve lost so much and gained so much over the years, but this little food forest has been a constant blessing:
I posted my first post on The Great South Florida Food Forest Project way back in 2013.
And my first video on the project was from November of 2012:
To read all the posts and updates on this project, check out The Great South Florida Food Forest archives page here.
This food forest gave me lots of data on tropical growing which I later used to write Create Your Own Florida Food Forest, along with what I learned in my own backyard in North Florida. Between the two gardens, we had the state covered!
You can have greener thumbs by this weekend!

How the heck are you getting tithonia that tall?? I have never gotten one over 3ft, and I don’t think it’s a dwarf variety!
You probably have Tithonia rotundifolia, not Tithonia diversifolia
The one tropical fruit I miss deeply is Guava, which doesn’t grow locally. South Florida is one of the places it will grow well, but I notice your food forest doesn’t have any. Is that on purpose, or is it just that you only have so much room?
(I live in USDA 8a, and have the added problem of no rain in the Summers. Guavas aren’t grown here and they don’t travel at all. I am considering putting in a tall greenhouse. If they can maintain Orangeries in Belgium, I can build a Guavaria in Oregon.)
Nobody in my family really liked it, so I didn’t plant one. I love ’em.
Rock on, Mr. The Good.
