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.
My father said the same thing Caroline...(I know you are a boy, Caroline)
He lived for some time in Venice, Florida and tried to grow things there and said that the tomatoes and the corn were never as good as in Ohio.
