Marsha -

Neither beans nor peas transplant well and even cucumbers are a bit difficult in our climate this time of the year. All do much better when seeds are sown directly in our very warm soil. Another thing to consider with beans and peas is that a customer would have to purchase several pots of beans or peas to make planting them worthwhile and that might make them cost prohibitive to them. If you are not committed to beans, peas and cucumbers and can provide anything for the event, then I suggest that you use the Florida Vegetable Gardening Guide at http://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/vh021 and start something like collards, broccoli and Chinese cabbage with a transplantability of 1.
