I live in Florida, what heirloom garden seeds would you recommend for my area?
Being from Northern Wisconsin it is hard to know exactly what to tell you on which varieties will do best for you. From what we've heard most varieties will do well in Florida if planted at the right time. The main issue we've heard of is the heat and humidity. Some heirloom vegetables can't take these conditions. That being said, we do have a customer who buys quite a bit from us who lives in Florida and here is a list of some of what they have bought, which may help in choosing your varieties:
