So it seems my area is zone 6b for planting... gotta remember that!

Ordered my broccoli, carrots, onions, sage, thyme, parsley, basil, strawberries, marjoram, basil, catnip, peppers, and pea seeds. Need to find where the HELL I get raspberry and blueberry seeds. Durhurhurr. Still need to get tomato and mint seeds... and before you worry, karniz_archada, I am

Heehe - sadly chocolate mint only SMELLS like chocolate. But Orange/Lemon/Pineapple mint does in fact carry a scent and taste of those items. Only Pineapple mint isn't hardy for our winters... /sad
Blood meal is in any fertilizer section of Lowes/Home Depot. I think it's... Miracle Grow Organic I bought? Also get Bone Meal - bulbed plants like Tulips, Daff's, and GARLIC looooove bone meal. [also roses!]
Your cats might not actually eat the geranium. If anything look into getting a cloche for it then - it'll keep your cats out and it'll look reall purdy.
4'o'clocks are full sun baby. Gorgeous too. Do what I do: come fall, after the ground chills just direct seed the seeds where you want them to grow - you'll get stronger plants that way. Plus side is - they reseed like CRAZY. Never have to worry about replanting them! [there's about 20+ bushes currently in my garden that I didn't plant.]
Pretty shade-lovers/tolerators: Hosta, Astilbe, Ferns, Lily-of-the-Valley, Hellebores [my personal ♥], Creeping Jenny, Forget-me-nots, and lettuce! Lettuce doesn't mind a bit o' shade - will take longer to grow, but they're still pretty if you get a purple trout kind~
Flordia's southernmost point is Zone 9... So no, Georgia won't work either, hehe. And the winters' are too wet in the south for plants like that - they want a Mediterranean climate like California...
[I think I wanna move to California one o' these days... it's perfect out there for me...]

Hell - PROGRESSION garden journal! I have a four year old garden, your's is a first year! It'll be fun, mwahaha.
