You are actually in a warmer climate than I am. We usually get about 30 days of Triple digit temps scattered from late June to mid August. My main harvest is May- June. I grow lettuce, spinach, broccoli, cauliflower, pak choi, cabbage, English peas, beets, Irish potatoes and onions for spring harvest. All of these are harvested in April and May. Summer squash and snap beans ( both pole and bush) are in full harvest now. sweet corn is harvested in June.From late June to Late August, I will be growing cowpeas, limas, eggplants, peppers, sweet potaoes, okra watermelons, cucumis type melons etc. All are up and growing now. I will do a scond planting of cowpeas and bush limas when the corn finishes. In late August til October I will be starting the full range of brassicas for late fall , early winter harvest. I also seed my onions around labor day for transplant in early December. Plant early English peas around Thanksgiving. I can grow a wide array of vegetables here, but the secret is to beat the heat. Plant early or plant late for heat susceptible species.
