Im starting mine now and I'm just a few minutes south of New Smyrna Beach. Im more concerned about the leaf diseases than the heat. I had a batch of seedlings that I just lost to grey mold within a couple of weeks of setting them outside (in small pots that I moved around to harden them off). They each had only 4 leaves.
Its so humid and wet it doesnt take much for them to catch something. Im planning to start more every couple of weeks and see which ones make it the best. Im thinking probably the later ones will fare better when the humidity dies down some but I will update as it happens... :-) also have to come up with a plan for disinfecting the area when I remove the rest of the spring plants (I grow in pots only) as best I can.
