We live in central Florida and have extremely hot summers. A lot of our friends have their gardens in full sun but we decided to put ours in part shade for most of the day with direc t un for 4-5 hours a day. Our crop was small and size was small but tasty and our red pepper plant produce only 1 pepper. Since the summers are brutal here what do you recommend for sun vs shade and watering schedule?

Last year I lost my tomato plants to what I assumed from reading in our local area reports to blight. Well the same disease seems to have done them in again. The leaves turn yellow then brown, wilt and the tomatoes are hard, deformed and have holes in them. What can I do to keep this from happening next year? My cucumber plants turned yellow and died as well. I seem to have a lot of tiny ants and lots of grubs too. I used insecticides to try and get rid of them. I noticed a decrease in grubs, but the ants seemed to increase. They ate huge holes in my sunflower leaves and my beans, beets and lettuce.
