The key to successful vegetable gardening in Florida is realizing that the growing seasons are TOTALLY different from what you’ve used to. If you plant tomatoes , peppers and eggplants in late May like you’re used to you will fail! These vegetables are best planted in late February or early March to do well. A second crop can planted in September. Look us vegetable gardening in Florida on the University of Florida web site to find what plants are planted when and follow it.
