The Full List of Vegetables, Herbs, and Flowers Every Florida Gardener Should Plant in December
December is the middle of our cool-season gardening here in Florida, and even though the days are short and growth is slow, this is still an amazing month to plant, replant, and keep your garden going strong. In this video, I’ll walk you through exactly what to plant in December in North, Central, and South Florida, along with some real-life wins and struggles from my own garden this month.
We’ll talk about how low sunlight hours, dry weather, and cool nights affect plant growth, and what to do if you’re dealing with germination issues, slow seedlings, or critters stealing your veggies. December is also the perfect time for mid-season seed starting and filling in empty spots from earlier in the season.
In this video, we’ll cover:
🌱 Salad greens: lettuce, endive, kale, spinach, arugula
🥬 Hearty leafy greens: collards, chard, mustard greens
🥦 Brassicas: broccoli, cabbage, Chinese cabbage, cauliflower, Brussel sprouts
🥕 Root crops: carrots, beets, radishes, turnips (including my carrot slurry method!)
🧄 Garlic: when to plant and how I vernalize it for Florida
🧅 Onions: why December isn’t too late
🌼 Flowers: calendula, dianthus, petunias, snapdragons, verbena, calibrachoa
🌿 Herbs: chives, cilantro, fennel, parsley, tarragon, thyme
🌞 Warm-season options (for South Florida only)
Good luck! 💚🌱
Whether your garden is full and thriving or you’re replanting after pests or weather setbacks, there is so much you can grow in Florida this month. Let’s keep those beds productive all winter long. 💚**************************************
