While we are in the middle of our spring Florida Vegetable Garden, we need to start thinking about our summer garden harvest now! So let’s start seed planting for a successful Florida Garden so that we can Florida Vegetable Garden Harvest month to month.

What kind of garden soil you have? It looked sooooo dark compared to ours which looked like powder inspite we already mixed it with garden soil. We just moved in here in Florida last year. Thinking Georgia CLAY soil sucks! And now we are dealing with powdery sandy soil.
I've got a few corn plants started, and 4 Roselle plants that I have growing in one pot, I guess I should get those in the ground, but what do you recommend about the corn? I've never grown either one. ❤
My rosella did fantastic, and it 100% tasted like cranberry – uber tart cranberry. It must have been the recipe! I did try 1 recipe for a simple syrup with roselle that came out tastibg like nothing but sugar…so it is possible to overpower it lol
I noticed the roselle did NOT like growing in pots, none of mine planted in pots did well, but the second I moved them to the ground they all shot off with growth (and the ones started in the ground were 6ft tall by the end of the season!)
Plant them down the middle and then plant under and around them.
Morning..
My Rozelle reseeds itself like crazy..I have them popping up everywhere..but I don't get the calax so much…eager to see how yours do
There is a sunflower maze in Hudson or Spring Hill every year
Can we get your recipe for rosell?
Write down your succession planting schedule and place it where you will see it everyday. Otherwise, you may forget and lose focus.
Southern hill farms has sunflower maze
I am growing lots of hibiscus this season. I have some Jamaican Roselle, Sleepy Hibiscus, Cranberry Hibiscus and Chief Kubo's Hibiscus. I start my hibiscus with the paper towel method and it gives me nearly 90% germination. I was trying to overwinter last seasons plants but that arctic blast we got destroyed that idea. Just something to consider with the inconsistent germination rate of hibiscus. PLUS it lets you pick and choose where your plants grow.
“Look at these northerner instructions” 😂😂😂 All the hell we go through our summer season is good for something 😊
I saw beautiful fields of sunflower north of Homestead near Pahokee. I27?
10B here… near coastal north Charlotte Co. I did roselle last year (about 8 plants) and had so much harvest that I froze half to do later. I canned 12 small jars and one big one and gave away some to the family and friends. Even with the hurricane damage, I just pushed them back upright and staked them up. They lost most leaves and branches were broken, but they survived and did very well. I left a lot of the blooms to go to seed and I have more than I can use.
Fresh roselle seeds, or gathered from your own plants, actually have a great germination rate (needs consistent moisture); I started mine in 1" seed cells, and have way too many starts bc every single seed came up. The roselle I grew (St Kitt & Nevis variety, now all replaced by Thai Red) had a tiny, first flush of calyxes in May/June, then looked really miserable and bug infested through the heat of summer. After things started cooling in September, those sad stems came roaring back: fresh leaves, flowers, and each branch had buds, flowers and calyxes up and down its whole length, and started drooping to the ground. That second flush is perfectly timed for jamming and drying for tea for the holidays.
I wish you did not put levels on succession planting skills….gets my compulsive impulses going….ugh!
There was a house when I went to Kentucky that had their house fenced with giant sunflowers it was so pretty I stopped on the side of the road a take a picture. I thought it was the coolest idea !
New Zealand spinach seeds planted this morning. Lots of them. Hopefully by Memorial Day we'll be eating it. They will produce hopefully until Christmas. Here in Englewood where we were in the western wall of IAN for 10 hrs, only my basil and jalapenos survived the steady 150+mph winds.

Just asked my kids about the sunflower maze…it's in Brooksville! Quite a ways from you 🤣🤣
I had 6 roselle bushes last summer in full sun. They grew huge! They were about 6 feet tall and 6 feet wide. They also went through Ian and Nicole. They were jumbled up but kept going. I got 5 Gallons of dried calyxes for tea and canned 12 pints of jam. I also gave a ton away. I live in 9b Clermont. So, give them plenty of room.
I did well with Roselle in grow bags. This season maybe in the ground. Enjoy! I am Succession planting cucumbers and eggplant.
It's a Bluejays fight back there😂😂I 😂😂
I succession plant Green Bush Beans (planting every 3 weeks) as I can count on those producing till about July. Then in July – Sept I'm not sure what I am going to plant. Thinking about Okra for over the summer. What else will grow in Central Florida Zone 9b over the summer months?
Roselle (sorrel to Jamaicans) and okra are my next plans. My fave Roselle use is our Christmas drink with a bunch of spices. Did a Cranberry Roselle one year. Delicious!
Okra will do.
Hi!! long time lurker here.. I think you are close to me but I wanted to let you know Southern Hill Farm here in Clermont has LOTS of sunflowers right now and I am pretty sure I read they have a sunflower maze.. and right now is prime blueberry picking at their farm.. Love your content!!!
What should I succession plant after my elephant garlic which will be harvested next month? I have two pots of them.
Oh no, I spy torpedo grass in your mulch. I'm so sorry!
