Urban Farming 101 in TROPICAL Florida.Basics to start with:Organic Seed sources,composting and container gardening

It was back in 2008 when a local newspaper published a two page report on my urban farming practice at a local communirty garden that is now history.This is a narrative for the daring urban farmer who wants to explore more on the subject of Urban Farming in the TROPICS.There are tons of information available in books and in the web.I find it more practical to learn as I PRACTICE HANDS ON approach.Gardening and farming after all is the only science that dates back into ancient times before books were written or records kept.

Here is where one want to start:Finding a good source for seeds.I find it helpful to check out the following seed sources from the web:

http://gurneys.com

http://attra.ncat.org/attra-pub/altseed.html

http://www.omri.org

Also the following could be of extra help to research:

enzaen.nl,fedcoseeds.com,harrisseeds.com,heinzseed.com,heightmowingseeds.com,jlhudsonseeds.net,johnnyseeds.com,mountainvalleygrowers.com,groworganic.com,seedstrust.com,seedway.com

The best way is to locate LOCAL ORGANIC FARMERS who harvest seeds and do exchange.I personally harvest my own as much as I

 can.It is better to grow from locally harvest seeds that have their DNA map is crafted and evolved by the local climate .
