Right now she grows:
Kale (2 varieties)
Swiss Chard
Squash (4 varieties)
Tomatoes (4 varieties)
Peas
Fava beans
String beans
Cucumbers
Beets
Carrots
Radishes
Onions
Lettuce (2 varieties)
Arugula
Spinach
Bell Peppers
Jalapeno peppers
A bunch of different herbs
Pumpkins
Watermelon
Strawberries
Blueberries
Figs
Will any of those make it in FL? We currently live in Western Washington. The climate is a tad different.. lol
Thanks.

I had couple acres in Oklahoma where I spent 20 years. I ordered Rainer cherries trees from nursery in Washington state. Best tasting cherries I’ve ever tasted. Had yellow, yellow red, and red ones. Mmmmmmmm. I get them in store down here is season, good but not like fresh off the trees. Jalapeño peppers do good down here. That type of stock plant can take the heat better. I also have milder jalapeño called La Bomba that’s been going for three years. Had to bring pot in garage couple nights due to frost/freeze. It does get down close to freezing down here in winter, but only lasts day or two.
