Florida Growers Thread

Rena, here in Miami I've planted out transplants as late as mid-December. The best time is during October and early November. That will usually give a nice harvest prior to the bugs getting to you. I usually grow until about the end of April - but after that the bugs are just too much and the heat is getting up there to where it's hard to set fruit. The exception is cherry-types, as Anne said, which can be grown with due diligence just about year-round, though I don't do it. I opt for hot peppers and melons in the late spring and summer.
