Transforming Florida Yards: A Regional Food Forest Guide by Dr. Amanda Pike is the best book I’ve found covering the idea of turning your yard into a bountiful food forest and doing so in a hot, humid climate.
I learned about Amanda Pike and creating a food forest by following her on Facebook group Transforming Florida Yards. She shares her amazing original recipes and gardening tips in a personable manner. Did you know that green papaya is a great substitute for zucchini?
The book not only describes the process for planning a food forest, but is filled with information sheets on unusual heat loving, edible plants.
I highly recommend this book for anyone living in a place where it’s hard to garden because of the heat and humidity.
God bless,
Pam
