We want to grow a garden in rural ocala. Will corn grow and most vegatables grow in this heat, with a lot of water?
How to grow vegatable garden in Central Florida.?
yes. sun and water and mabe a bit of plant food should do the trick. miracle grow works great.
Reply:You should be able to grow a great vegetable garden as long as you purchase plants/seeds that are suitable for your hardiness zone. Plants that thrive here in Utah would probably not do well there and vice versa. To figure out your zone, go to http://www.usna.usda.gov/Hardzone/ushzma... Then just check the plant/seed packet to make sure it is compatible with your zone. Also, like the answer above, local nurseries are an invaluable source and usually sell plants suitable for your climate. Good luck!

I found that the best resource is a local nursery. I admit to not doing most of my purchasing there because they're more expensive but the people at the nursery are more than happy to share their knowledge about what grows well in the local climate. You should go into a local nursery and chat up whoever is willing to talk.
