Gardening is one of my passions. I have been in FL since 2003 and TV since 2007 and I am still having a very hard time with veggie and flower gardening. The dirt is horrible here, either sand or clay or both and needs a lot of amending with manure, peat, and anything else you can think of to make it plant friendly. I don't mean to say it is impossible as I keep trying and some things work and some don't and I love every minute of my efforts. I have to agree with one of the posters about tomato plants, I have had the best luck with planting them in pots and keeping them in the bird cage. Other veggies work real well mixed in with my flower gardens. I don't have a designated veggie garden as I just mix plants up in all of my flower gardens. All that being said, good luck and keep trying different things you will soon find your favorites to plant and your favorites just to go and buy.
