Getting Started (Late) in Central Florida
Category: Heirloom Vegetables | Posted: Sun Aug 03, 2008 7:31 pm OK, so I'm a little (lot) late - but according to the University of Florida 'Florida Vegetable Gardening Guide' we've got a long enough season here to reasonably expect success at one last planting of summer vegetables. I got these seeds soaking last night, and this morning moved them to damp paper towels before their move to seed starting mix in the coming days. I ordered all of these from Southern Exposure, attempting to choose varieties that can survive Florida's rough summers. If anyone would like a few seeds of any of these varieties, let me know - I bought the smallest packets but there are still many more seeds than I plan on using this late in the season. The asterisks (*) indicate certified organic seed. Late Summer 2008 Vegetables: Contender - Buff Valentine - Snap Bush Bean Rattlesnake - Snap Pole Bean *Liana - Asparagus Bean Christmas - Lima Pole Bean *Straight Eights - Slicing Cucumber *Early Prolific Straightneck - Summer Squash Ping Tung Long - Eggplant *Arkansas Traveler - Pink Tomato *Eva Purple Ball - Purple Tomato *Roma VF - Canning Tomato *Tropic VFN - Red Tomato *California Wonder - Sweet Bell Pepper *Jimmy Nardello's Italian - Sweet Drying Pepper *Doe Hill Golden Bell - Frying Pepper *Jalapeño - Hot Pepper *Aji Dulce - Spice Pepper Pictures of seeds will be coming soon, possibly on my website as 500 pixels would require a lot of resizing work on my part. Cross your fingers for me - this could actually be the season where more than just one variety ends up on my table! Last edited: Sun Aug 03, 2008 11:32 pm This blog entry has been viewed 88 times
