What to Plant in January/February
This is the best time of the year for growing veggies in Florida. You can think of it as our main growing season. If you would like to start a vegetable garden. Now is a great time. The days are starting to let a little longer each day since the winter solstice and plants love the potential for more sunshine.
You can plant greens and flowering crops like: Lettuces, kale, collards, swiss chard, mustard greens, arugula, broccoli, cilantro, dill, parsley, oregano, thyme, cauliflower, cabbage, snap peas, snow peas. And you can grow root crops like: carrots, beets, radishes, turnips, parsnips, rutabaga, onions.
This time of year you can start your Spring Plantings of: tomato, pepper, and eggplant seedlings in small pots. Keep them in a protected area in case of a light frost. It is a good idea to get these seedlings started early, because they will not grow very long past May in the Florida heat and humidity.
For each of the CSA Season weeks you will receive local, seasonal and delicious vegetables from Green Flamingo and neighboring farms to fill your dinner table. Our fields at Green Flamingo are full of the most beautiful and fresh organic food that you can find!
