The Beginning of Tomato Season in Miami
The heat of summer is beginning to break in Miami. I should have begun 2 weeks ago, but I have little energy these days. I need to prep the containers and start seeds now. Varieties? All I know is that it will include Everglades. Beyond that, I don't yet know.

What a bummer. Did they germinate at all or did they die-off as seedlings? Can you get started plants of another variety for where you intended to grow them? (Yeah I know, that's so disappointing when you wanted to grow a particular variety from seeds. But sometimes you just have to move on.)
Bloody Butcher is I think cool weather tolerant and early maturing. Shorter plants, around saladette size I think. It was productive and did well in my shadier bed, so it might not tolerate heat very well.
I imagine by end of February, it's already going to start getting hot in Miami and garf needs the tomatoes to be producing and ready to harvest?
