I have seen in my DR catalog a raised bed for vegetables, looks like a feed through, or cradle. Optional greenhouse cover and/or netting.

I do not think the root crops will grow well in FL as MD is already too hot for them. A friend of ours original from WI gave up.

Seems like one can't even feed the birds. Our Villages house backs on a preserve so it could draw wild life. Here after a few peppers, rest went to the deer and rabbits. But is fun trying.
