This month’s feature is Vegetable Economics.
Vegetable gardening has many highly desirable benefits. These range from it being a good source of exercise, an opportunity to produce fresh produce which may be hard to find in retail establishment, and being able to assure it is produced in a specific way.

All were grown in the demonstration garden at the UF/IFAS Wakulla County Extension Office on Cedar Avenue and Master Gardener Bill Osborne coordinated the project.
