Summer plants for the Florida garden


I thought I'd share some of what is going on in my zone 9B, East coast central Florida food not lawns garden.  I have salt spray so that may be the reason for some of the strugglers.

What is growing and thriving: Seminole pumpkins, everglades tomatoes, sweet potatoes, chives, basil, sage, mints, fennel, moringa, burr gherkins, and my Barbados cherries are pumping out buckets of fruit daily.

What is still alive but struggling:  lemon balm, bush beans, collards, cabbage, hot peppers

What died:  dill, soon to be lemon balm.

Tell us, what are you growing in your garden this summer?
