What to Plant Month by Month
Choose a month to see what vegetables and flowers can be direct sown in the garden and what can be started now for transplanting later.
Summer
July through September
Florida summer brings heat, humidity, heavy rain, and a different rhythm to the garden. These months focus on plants that can handle our hottest growing conditions while we begin preparing for the approaching cool season.
Cool Season
October through February
Florida's cool season opens the garden to vegetables and flowers that prefer milder temperatures. This is an important growing season for leafy greens, root crops, herbs, cool-weather vegetables, and many seasonal flowers.
Warm Season
March through June
During the warm season, the garden shifts toward vegetables and flowers that enjoy increasing temperatures and longer days. These months carry the garden from Florida's mild spring weather toward the return of full summer heat.
