🫘 October is when most Florida gardeners make the full transition into cool-season crops as temperatures start to cool and the plants that prefer temperate growing conditions really start to thrive. 👀 Find LOCAL seeds to plant NOW in Florida at seedthestars.etsy.com

⌛ Some quick-growing warm-season crops can still be seeded or transplanted if you have enough time for them to reach maturity. Be sure to check the days to maturity and compare them to your average first frost date to make sure you have enough time before the risk of frost. Depending on where you are in Central Florida, you may still have plenty of growing time left.

🍓 October is also a good time to plan for a few longer-season crops. If you haven’t started vernalizing your garlic yet, now is the time, as it needs about 10–12 weeks of cold treatment before planting. You can also look for pre-vernalized garlic from suppliers. Bare-root strawberries can go in this month, or you can purchase plugs for planting. It’s also a good time to order short-day onions so you’re ready for the planting season ahead.

🌟 Otober can still be hot, and some cool-season crops will struggle if temperatures stay higher than normal. Keep an eye on the forecast rather than planting strictly by calendar dates. Sometimes it’s worth waiting for better conditions rather than rushing a crop into the ground too early.

🌱 Have a magical month of planting!

🌱 Florida growers, it's prime time to sow bush beans, and we've got QUITE the collection to share. Our Bush Bean Grex started off with 11 varieties three years ago. Since then, we've been growing what thrives and selecting what shines.

🧬 So what's a grex? A diverse population created by growing multiple varieties of the same species together, then selecting over generations. This diversity helps build resilience through Florida's unpredictable growing seasons.

🫘 Common beans mostly self-pollinate, but natural crosses happen. We're already spotting hybrids and saving their seed for future growouts. The long game? A productive, locally adapted landrace with some Florida grit.

💫 Easy to grow, quick to harvest, and a fun crop for beginners, kids, and spouses who need a new hobby.

A look at some of early Roselle varieties growing in Western North Carolina where I've been working this season. We also know of a seed grower experimenting with them in Virginia as well! We're all excited to see if we can harvest mature seed before the first frost event.🤞
