I live in a subtropical climate and it seems like most typical garden plants are not really good for our weather, it's too hot for some and too wet for many who like hot.

Our winners are:

Trees- starfruit, longan, mango, papaya all do well.

Garden -

summer, wet season - Okra mostly. Hong Tsoi, Eggplant (little ones) Watermelon (little ones) sweet potato (Stokes Purple), tomatoes, basil.

winter, dry season- Collards, peppers, broccoli (Green Magic) cauliflower, arugula, fennel, lettuce, radishes. Cilantro, or dill. A lot of the typical northern summer plants can be started in December or January to grow in the "spring" that runs from January to April ish.

In between - peppers, fennel, mustard greens, eggplant, pumpkin type squash (but bugs always eat it) tomatoes.
