How I’m Getting the Garden Ready for Winter in Florida

November 11, 2025 by Michelle Leave a Comment

Our average first frost date in my Zone 9B garden is December 15th … but Mother Nature had another idea. She's sending in Jack Frost more than 4 weeks ahead of schedule, so in this video I tell and show a few of things I'll be doing to prepare for that first frost.

About Michelle In The Meadow

I'm growing on a 1/4 acre suburban lot. I started gardening here 4 years ago and am glad you are here.

We have more than 80 individual fruit trees and shrubs and more than a dozen different kinds of annuals growing on this property. The slopes make for some interesting ways to garden, but we're trying to make the best of it.

On the first Sunday evening of each month (7PM Eastern), I go live on YouTube sharing updates and answering your questions.

If you enjoyed this video, please give it a thumbs up and consider subscribing to follow along on all the happenings in my Northeast Florida Zone 9B Garden. Until next time, my friends, remember to drink plenty of water, wear high-quality sunscreen and have a fantastic day.
