Elaine - Thank you! I do believe that hybrids are the way to go here in Florida. Many are bred to grow well in our climate and many are also bred to be resistant to certain diseases/fungus. I think it is planting timing and cultivar type that is the trick to getting good edibles here in Florida.

Elaine - Thank you for sharing some of your cultivar names with us. I wouldn't even know where to begin other than trial and error which in itself can discourage one from growing edibles.

Maybe the thread that I SHOULD HAVE STARTED ..... Which cultivars grow best here in Florida? And WHEN do you grow them?
What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters, compared to what lies within us.
