back in Va I had a green thumb and had all types of veggies from tomatos. peppers, beans, cucumers, brocolli etc. Here in Florida I just cannot get it right. Tomatos get the blight from too much or too little water, cukes ...i get some but not the same size as up north and the plants tend to dry out or go yellow quicker. I found the summer just too hot for a veggie garden here unless you place a covering over the plants to provide for filtered sun. Also you ned to watch your watering patterns.
