It is a challenge to grow vegetable in the heat of the Florida summer, it is simply too hot and too much rain for many plants. We started growing okra, eggplant, pepper and celery. Those vegetable seem to be able to take the heat better than broccoli and the other leafy green. So far, we have been able to pick some okra each day.
