My starts are:
Clemson Spineless Okra
Florida Giant Watermelon
Honey Bear Acorn Squash (not sure of the heat resistance on this one)
Luffa
Cantaloupe
Islander F1 Bell Pepper
Lunchbox Orange OG Sweet Peppers
Also pictured are tomatoes I started on early February. Next year I plan to grow Florida friendly varieties like Ozark or Tropic and include them in my summer starts. I was also going to grow peanuts but recently found out my daughter is allergic. What is everyone else in the hot climates growing??

Im starting with stuff everyone wants/needs
Carrots, Radishes, yellow Onions, Green onions, Tomatoes, beans, peas, Kale, cabbage, bunch of lettuces, bell peppers, jalepenos, rosemary, thyme, sage, basil, oregano, etc.
I may try and find space to try a watermelon. That could be fun to watch grow
I’m in Texas and re just finished the garden a few weeks ago, so now I have in ground instead of a couple of raised beds. I’m very excited!
So far I have seeds or have planted
– tomatoes
– peppers
– okra
– corn
– strawberries
– peas
– cucumbers
– Long Island cheese pumpkins
– Korean squash
– cantaloupe and watermelons
– pole and bush beans
– cucamelons
– carrots
– lettuce and spinach
– short day onions
– mammoth sunflowers
– native and pollinator flowers
– herbs (thyme, rosemary, oregano, basil, cilantro)
I have about 500 sq ft of garden now so I’m experimenting with some stuff to see what works best! I also planted a fig tree and blackberry bush two weeks ago. I want to get some peanuts in the ground, but I have no experience with those

-GreenBeans
-Strawberries
-chilly Peppers

-Sweet Tomatoes
Assorted Tomatoes, cukes, zucchini, cabbage and lettuce, yellow squash, assorted hot peppers and sweet peppers, okra, corn, onions, garlic, bunch onion, basil, oregano, thyme, parsley, strawberries, peas and assorted beans, and I hope some potatoes. We’ll have watermelon and cantaloupe in addition to blueberries, muscadine, and mulberries.
I hope everyone has a successful year
Peppers, tomatoes, berries
Ground cherries, cowpeas, okra, cucamelons, tomatillos, tomatoes, and sweet peppers were all winners last summer. I’m adding Armenian cucumbers, wing beans, and new varieties of cowpeas.
