Being from Northern Wisconsin it is hard to know exactly what to tell you on which varieties will do best for you in Florida. 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.
