Looking at the University of FL Gardening Guide, I see I can plant cabbage and broccoli any time (we'll see). I had planned to wait until January to transplant those. Regardless, I started some seeds today. I already have tomatoes and peppers started and both are ready to go into an Earthbox as soon as there's a little break in the weather. My tomato failures from this summer were removed from their Earthboxes in either June or July. I've done nothing with the boxes since then. Look what's popped up in one of them:

When I removed the plants, I just cut them off at the base. So, this one has sprouted from the root/stalk area. Since it was one of my favs in Indiana anyway (Mule Team), I'm going to let it go and see what I get. Maybe this is Florida's version of wintersown ... we'll call it 'summersown' Hilarious! Either way I'm excited again.
