👀 Find LOCAL seeds to plant NOW at seedthestars.etsy.com 🌿 The month of June is a great time to grow heat-loving annuals from similar hot, humid subtropical and tropical climates. We are lucky to have a climate where we can experiment with crops that may never show up in a typical American grocery store, so if there are any new-to-you crops on this list, try a few out this summer season!
⭐ Remember to choose varieties that have proven successful in Florida conditions when growing in June. Pest and disease pressure are high this time of year, the sun is intense, and many common garden varieties suitable in other states can struggle in our heat and humidity. Selecting regionally adapted varieties, as well as establishing a consistent pest management routine, can make a big difference in your success.
🏵️ If you are taking a break from gardening during the summer months, make sure to plant summer cover crops in your vacant beds to maintain your soil's health. Some summer cover crops we utilize are Sunn H**p, varieties of cowpeas, sweet potatoes, velvet bean, Sudan grass, and French marigolds.
🍅 Remember that there's still plenty of time to grow many Florida-adapted crops later in the year for a productive fall garden once cooler temperatures arrive. Patience and timing is often one of the most valuable gardening skills!
