What kind of flowers and vegetable plants do well in South Florida’s climate?

Monday, January 12th, 2009
Gracie’s Mom asked:


I want to start a garden outside my new house and I’d also like to plant a lot of flowers.

There isn’t much shade and I live in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, so it’s a pretty humid, hot, and VERY sunny climate.

Does anyone know what vegetable plants and flowers will grow well in this type of environment? Is there a really great gardening website that anyone would like to share with me? THANKS!

Jose

Lady Luck asked:


My friend is planning to grow flowers for a friend. We’re growing them from seeds and outdoors in April. What kind of flowers would be able to grow in a month or so and are not high-maintenance? Please include the time it took for them to blossom!

jenn asked:


I live in an area where the temperatures reach about 115 degrees in the summer. I want to start a garden with a mix of flowers, but I don’t want to start planting and have everything die because it’s so hot. What would be some good plants/flowers for me to start out with?
