You'll probably find all the information you need for growing vegetables in Florida -- use this University of Florida link

Then type in "Florida Vegetable Gardening Guide" This is a good one as it lists all the vegetables, planting dates, seed depth, spacing, seed viability and days to harvest.
I'm somewhat disorganized this year, but I do have some super healthy basil plants I grew from my own seeds. I will be planting Everglade tomato seeds very soon as well as some others from seeds and later putting in some garlic that I got from our Dr. Dawg (Ken Ramsey). My parsley went belly up on me and I don't know why; but some other herbs are hanging in there. This awful heat has been life sucking !
A great book for vertical garderning is "Vertical Gardening" by Derek Fells. You can grow a lot more vegetables this way compared to the conventional rows.
I have two raised vegetable beds and some Earth boxes; the rest go in huge pots or half-drums that I have. I don't put veggies directly in the ground here because the nematodes will eventually contribute to their early death !
