Farm Seasons
What to Plant in April and May?
This is the time to start preparing for Hot and Humid Summer Weather in Florida.
April/May in Central Florida you can plant:
Beans, Tomatoes, Peppers, Eggplant, Okra, Squash, Cucumbers, Garlic Chives, Basil, Sunflowers, Seminole Pumpkin, Hibiscus, Moringa, Malabar Spinach, Turmeric, Ginger, and all kinds of other heat loving crops.
This is also a good time of year to start thinking about planting Cover Crop when your garden gets a little too unruly. You can plant Cover Crop and build soil for the next growing season.
Maybe you want to start some new fruit trees and get them established before all the summer rains hit. Try varieties that like this climate:
Banana trees, cold hardy Avocado varieties, Loquats, Citrus trees, Figs, Pomegranate, Surinam Cherry, Asian Pear, Chickasaw Plum, Olives, Mulberry, Florida Peaches, Persimmon, etc. You might be able to grow Mangoes, Starfruit, and other tropical fruits if you are in a microclimate that is warmer.
