Here in Central Florida I have been planting potatoes, spacing the planting dates by about 3 weeks since mid December. I have Canela Russet, Yukon Gold, Red Pontiac and Purple Majesty. I also have pineapples, green beans and pole beans. I am growing in 8’X8’ raised beds. I still have a few more that I am undecided about what to plant. I may go with heirloom tomatoes in one and not sure about the rest.
“I may go with heirloom tomatoes in one and not sure about the rest.”
We can give you tons of choices; we all have our favorites, for sure.
Think about what you like to eat, or what is expensive in the grocery store that you can grow for yourself.
Also, don’t forget flowers for pollinators and ‘food for the soul.’ I am greatly upping my ‘flower game’ this season. :)
I’m in South Alabama so just a bit colder but more similar to you than up North.
I’ve had problems with some heirlooms in the heat and humidity.
Here’s a list I plant that really do well, even in the 90s (many tomatoes drop flowers after 92 or so degrees—and that the temperature IN your garden, not from weather station):
Cherry: Sungold, Juliet, Black Cherry
Paste: San Marzeno
Regular from small to large: Creole, Australian, Aunt Ruby’s Green, Cherrokee Purple, Jeff Davis, Arkansas Traveler, Sioux (NOT Super Sioux), Floradel.
I’ve been planting these for many years (almost 30!) and every year when it gets too hot these keep going.
