HOMEGROWN NEWS
We are looking for members to help us with a few projects at the co-op. We are looking for folks who have skills and experience with the following:
• sewing & general crafting
• gardening & composting
• holistic health & nutrition
• events & marketing
• finance & accounting
We would like to form committees around these areas. Please send an e-mail to volunteer@homegrowncoop.org if you are interested in being a working member and having more involvement with Homegrown. If there is something that you are good at that you think Homegrown would benefit from please let us know!
“Florida gardens are unique in that many growers have their off-season in the summer. Florida’s summer sun takes a toll on traditional crops familiar in more northern gardens. One hurdle gardeners face is the desire for the summertime tomato. Tomatoes are not considered a summer crop in Florida, mainly because of physiological limitations — tomatoes will not set fruit if nighttime temperatures are above 70°F. Cherry tomatoes will sometimes keep producing in the summer.” -UF/IFAS Extension
