Beginning to wonder if I'll ever get mine planted. Bout the time mine dries up enough to get some seed in the ground...another 1.5" rain will come along.

got mine in between rains, ground was a lil wet, but lookin good now.

good luck

Same here. Only thing i have in ground are tomatoes. Used a shovel to break ground since my tiller died. Had planned on renting one this weekend, but looks like rain.

gonna do mine tomorrow.

got most of mine planted, aint got a clue if it'll come up though. its been in the ground a week and aint seen a thing sprout up yet.this rain that is movin in now, might get it started.

I got mine planted today..10 rows of zipper peas,3 rows of black eye peas,a row of squash,6 rows of peanuts,6 rows of cantelope,4 rows of watermelons,6 long rows of corn and I'm gonna plant about 6 more in a few weeks,30 mater plants,30 pepper plants,onions and cucumbers.I have a very big garden so I got alotta work coming up I'm not looking forward to!!

Still got to get some crook neck squash and okra seeds.

1st garden here in FL. - kind of a test plot to see what grows here. Whole diffrent ballgame down here.

in that part of Florida you can grow a lot of stuff but I think you'll find that there is a different category of bugs to deal with.

Yep, apparently even worms (nematodes) in the ground that will eat the plants roots.

try growing some pineapple, according to this its easy. http://www.howcast.com/videos/176423-How-to-Grow-Your-Own-Pineapple-at-Home

I've got probably 12-15 pineapple, them and papayas grow like weeds here.
I did plant a few rows of corn last year, just in the sand. They tassled out at about 3ft. tall and they had worms all in the very small ears they produced. No corn within MILES of here, where the heck did those things come from?
Should probably stock up on diatomaceous earth I guess.

Got some tomatoes, peppers (bell, banana, and jalepeno) planted. 3 mounds of squash. Planted 6 rows of G90 2 weeks ago. Ain't up. Its sprouted and trying, but i don't know. I know i planted it a little deep, but we'll see. Should be ok corn wise anyways. Planted 2+ ac for baseball team to sell as fund raiser. Yall let me know how many dozens you want. :-)

Got my maters,sqush, peppers, watermelons,cantalope, green beans, corn and peas in the ground a week ago. Garden flooded yesterday morning. Hope it don't mess it up.

Gman, if you let me know when it's ready or about to be ready I'll buy several dozen. Are you in Hartselle?

Hey Stob, welcome to Florida gardening. Check with your local landfill and see if they give away compost. I live in the Orlando area and get it by the truckload from the Orange County landfill.It grows good veggies. My experience with corn was the same as yours but I am successful with most everything else.Nematodes are the devil, as are cutworms, squash borers, pickle worms, powdery mildew and on and on in Florida.

I've had tomato plants, squash and peppers in the ground for two weeks. Finally planted silver queen corn, pink eye peas, okra and two kinds of watermelon yesterday. I wish we could get a good rain now. We didn't get a drop from the storms this weekend.

I'd gladly let yall have an inch or two...if it'd just jump over us here in NA this week! My garden and a lot of wheat, corn and cotton fields need 10 days of drying...

Thanks for the compost idea, I had 6 - 55 gallon drums of topsoil and cow manure imported from good ole Alabama. Crazy huh?
Went by the seed and feed store today and picked up some Brandywine and Beefsteak Maters, Jalapeno and Sweet Peppers.
Also planted about 30ft. of okra seed.
Supposed to have squash in on Thurs.
I tried to start some heirloom seeds a few months back but most didnt make, not much confidence in the seeds I planted in the ground Sat. so I'm hedging my bets with the plants.

Calling for 1-4" of water here this weekend. My garden spot is what i'd call on the low side...great for when it turns off dry. Question is, its May 2...and just dry enough to run the planter thru. With what they're calling for, do I dare risk another pound of seed and plant my corn, okra and beans/peas?

3.1 inches of rain...ugh.
