Grow Food That Feeds Your Family in the South
Eleven years of growing food in Florida heat, sand, and rain. The Southern Garden Plan turns that into your planting calendar, your next job, and a yard that keeps feeding you.
$199 a year after the trial. A card is required to start. Cancel before day 7 and pay nothing.
Most gardening advice was written for somebody else's climate.
Follow a calendar made for Ohio and you plant tomatoes in July, watch them cook, and decide you have a brown thumb. You do not. You had the wrong map.
Sand, not soil-
The heat runs the calendar
Our spring is February. Our fall garden goes in when the rest of the country is pulling theirs out. Plant on the national schedule and summer eats the crop.
-
Sand is not soil
Water runs straight through it and takes the fertilizer with it. Building soil is the first job, and no seed packet tells you that.
-
The wrong plants
Half the vegetables at the big-box garden center were never going to make it here. The right list is shorter, and it produces for years.
The Plan starts with where you live. Then it tells you what goes in the ground this week.
Built by somebody who grows here.
I'm Jermaine Jefferson. I have been growing food for twenty years, eleven of them in Florida. My wife Toni and I feed a family of six off a quarter acre with more than 150 edible plants on it.
Years of testing, failing, rebuilding, and refining until we built a food system that actually works here.
Know what to plant this week. Build a yard that keeps feeding you.
One login. Your planting dates, your next job, and a straight answer when something goes wrong.
Step 1
Know what to plant this week
Planting windows for your state and region, drawn from university extension guidance. What goes in now, what waits.
Step 2
Build the yard in order
Week one you pick a spot. Then the first crops go in. Ninety days later there is something to pick, and the Plan keeps going from there.
Step 3
Get a straight answer
A leaf goes yellow on a Tuesday night. Take a photo, ask the Grow Guide, and get one answer instead of nine guesses from strangers.
One membership. One price. Everything opens.

Seven days free, and here is why we ask for a card.
The trial is free for seven days. We still ask for a card on purpose. A free door with no card fills a room with people who never walk through it, and this only works when the people inside are doing the work.
Cancel any time before day 7, in two clicks, and you are charged nothing. No call, no email, no talking anybody out of it. If you want to start with something that never asks for a card, take the free course.
GFC-Pro. Get certified to teach Southern gardening.
Some Growers do not stop at their own yard. They want to run the garden club, teach the church class, coach neighbors, or build a channel. GFC-Pro is the certification and the toolkit for that. One payment of $499. No monthly, no upsell.
Two years of showing up for Southern growers.
The Plan is new. The help is not. These are public comments from the channel, shown word for word.
You are a regular guy, not just pushing products, who just wants to make people better and live better lives... your channel has helped me tremendously!
I have had a lot of failures because of not knowing when and what to plant in Florida. I can't tell you how helpful you and your wife have been.
This is the first year that I feel I've actually started the garden in time. I started planting watermelon, Seminole squash, longevity spinach, pigeon pea, and a lot more last month and they are already looking great.
I have been gardening in Florida over 30 years... You have helped me considerably with your information.
You are both my favorite two channels on YouTube!! As a newer FL gardner you both have helped me so so much - thank you!!
It's real nice hearing someone talk Florida gardening like we actually live here.
