Zone 13 growing tips
- •Tropical perennials (moringa, papaya, banana, breadfruit) are your most productive crops.
- •Many temperate vegetables struggle in constant heat. Choose heat-adapted varieties.
- •Shade cloth (30-50%) extends what you can grow significantly.
- •Compost and organic mulch are essential. Decomposition is extremely fast in hot, humid conditions.
