Because of the warm weather, gardens can be grown year-round in Florida, although spring is the preferred season, according to Florida Vegetable Gardening Guide, a publication prepared by the University of Florida and available online at http://walton.ifas.ufl.edu/ or at the extension office in DeFuniak Springs. "For a small garden planted in the spring, consider growing tomatoes, peppers, squash and cucumbers," said Goodchild.
