If you are not committed to beans, peas and cucumbers and can provide anything for the event, then I suggest that you use the Florida Vegetable Gardening Guide at http://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/vh021 and start something like collards, broccoli and Chinese cabbage with a transplantability of 1. |
Jerry, thanks for the link and the sound advice. You are a great teacher. No, I am not committed to those. Do I have enough time now to grow the brassicas to a marketable size?
