- These seeds perform well across most U.S. regions and especially thrive in warm, humid climates like Florida. Sun, healthy soil, and a diversity of quality seed varieties is key. Use mulch to retain moisture, reduce maintenance, and support soil life. Taller plants like corn or sunflowers provide structure and natural trellising. Flowering herbs and blooms attract beneficial insects and pollinators. Grains support resilience and diversity in small-scale plots. Observe, gain understanding, and interact. Participation is more important than perfection—your garden will grow as a living system either way. See individual growing tips per variety.
