Melissa,

    Thanks for your efforts. However the Fruit & Spice Park is about 500 miles South of me. Most of what they grow will freeze doorknob dead when exposed to the 17 degrees we had this Winter(What GW?).

     I knew the Blue Honeysuckle was probably a common name and unrelated to the Lonicera honeysuckle which grows wild here, hence I asked.

     Thanks again,

                              Richard

Quoting from wikipedia: "There are about 180 species of honeysuckle...in most species the berries are mildly poisonous, but a few (notably Lonicera caerulea) have edible berries."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honeysuckle

So, DON'T eat the berries of just any honeysuckle. The species we've been discussing is native to regions just slightly south of the north pole, so I doubt it would grow in Florida. Sorry. I bet there's lots of other great stuff you can grow there, though. Have you been to the Fruit and Spice Park? They have oodles of unusual things that are probably better adapted to your climate.
