Northeast Florida Vegetable Planting Calendar JANUARY FEBRUARY Beets Broccoli Cabbage Carrots Cauliflower Celery Chinese Cabbage Kale Kohl Rabi Mustards Onions (Green, Multipliers) Peas, Sweet Potatoes, Irish Radishes Turnips ---------------------------------------Garden Hint: Plant flowers in the vegetable garden. Flowers not only add beauty to the garden, but also provide nectar and pollen that attract beneficial insects. Learn to identify beneficial insects, such as lady beetles, praying mantids, spiders, syrphid flies, big-eyed bugs, assassin bugs, lacewings, earwigs, bees, and all wasps.

When using any chemical, always follow all safety precautions printed on the label, and keep others and pets out of the area until sprays have dried. Beans, Lima Eggplant Okra Peas, Southern Potatoes, Sweet ---------------------------------------Garden Hint: Follow the recommended planting dates listed for each vegetable. Vegetables planted "out of season" are susceptible to many pests. Plant as early in the spring (or as late in the fall, depending on the crop) as is safely possible. Use protective covers for coldsensitive plants. Northeast Florida Vegetable Planting Calendar JULY AUGUST SEPTEMBER Beans, Lima Eggplant Okra Peas, Southern Peppers Watermelons ---------------------------------------Garden Hint: Create “garden gold” by converting yard wastes, such as shredded leaves, lawn clippings, and wood chips, into compost. Composting is easy to do, and yields a manure-like, organic fertilizer/soil conditioner, which highly benefits Florida's infertile native soils. Organic matter added to the soil will also help reduce nematode populations. Conserve water by using mulch, compost, organic matter, and techniques such as drip irrigation.
