My concern is salt water in the air from sustained tropical force winds. That’s not good for a vegetable garden. You know how when you park your car at the beach and that salt gets on your windshield? It’s like that, but on plants. Hoping for the best, but certainly being taught a lesson. There were other signs like seedlings popping up from the ground all happy and then dead in two days because it’s so f’in hot! Yet I continue to plant.

Okra, Peppers, Tomatoes, Sweet potatoes are a good heat tolerant vegetables. Salt is another thing.....Diana or one of the others might be able to help with that question! I guess if you put boards 2x4x down next to your corn and covered them with plastic and anchored that down to keep it from blowing away your corn might have a chance!

Good luck!
