Florida's vegetable gardening season begins during the fall months.
Moderate temperatures make it easy to grow most familiar vegetables.

Fall gardens begin with the warm season plantings that include tomato, pepper, eggplant, squash and beans. Wichman says most have to be in the ground by the end of September to develop fruiting size plants before the arrival of cooler weather.
