We're gonna start planting most of these!
February starts the transition to warm-season crops for most of Florida. Here's what to put in the ground now: arugula, arrowroot, beans, beets, cantaloupe, carrots, cassava, celery, chard, collards, corn, cucumbers, dill, eggplant, endive, fennel, gynura, kohlrabi (plants), lettuce, onions (sets), parsley, English peas, peppers, potatoes, pumpkin, radish, spinach, squash, sugar cane, sweet potatoes, tomatoes, turnips, watermelon and yams.
In North Florida, you can still put in transplants of broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, Chinese cabbage, mizuna, mustard and kale. Wait until the end of the month to put in the warm-season crops, and be prepared to provide protection in case of any late frosts.
In South Florida, delete beets, turnips and potatoes. Add southern peas to the list.
