Growing Vegetables in Florida

We are fortunate in Brevard County that we can grow veggies nearly all year long. Summer is the hardest time to grow many crops but there are a few that can tolerate the hot, humid weather.

When to plant vegetables in Florida: Fall and spring are premium planting times and there are many vegetables that thrive through our winter months.

Location: Locate your garden close to the house for easy access, in a spot that has at least 6 hours of sun per day with a water source close by.

Soil Preparation: Since our soil is quite poor, you will want to amend your soil with lots of organic matter such as manure and compost.

Fertilizing: Organic fertilizers are the best option for vegetable plants.

Pest Control: If you keep your garden well-fed, watered, and weeded, chances are you’ll have very few problems with disease and insects.
