This Zone covers Southern inland California, southern Florida and parts of inland Hawaii. The lack of frosts and freezing temperatures provides a huge boost for winter gardening. However the extreme heat of the summer limits planting possibilities during the hot months.
Cool season crops, such as lettuces, peas and radishes can be grown during the winter with low risk of cold damage. Summer vegetables must tolerate the hot summer days and frequent watering is required. Shifting vegetables into shaded areas also helps. Some extra varieties to consider are: Peanuts, Malabar spinach, Taro, Bitter melon, Tomatillos, Ginger, Curry leaf and Miracle fruit.
