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.

We planted a cherry tomato plant in a pot in February and it was removed a couple of weeks ago. Seemed to grow great . The only pest problem we had was one batch of voracious green caterpillars that I simply picked off the plant and killed. My wife didn’t want me to plant a second crop because she is tired of then now but we have new tomatoes coming in the pot now from dropped fruit. I am going to see if they will get big enough to produce. I think they will. One thing we did notice was that we had to give the one plant 2 gallons of water 3 times a day during the dry season
