Which peanuts do best?
Growing some here, forget the variety.
Green peanuts are the best to me, harvested when still a little soft. Makes the best boiled peanuts.

Seminole pumpkins are a really good summer plant to grow.
The vines are very productive and handle the summer weather like a charm.
Gourds are good for storage and last several months once picked, quite tasty as well.

You can eat okra raw. It gives a different texture and flavor.
Black eye peas will also do well. As will many beans.
If you do sweet potatoes do them in pots or tall raised beds. If they spend all their energy spreading they don't produce big tubors. Their leaves are also the best green I've ever had. The one I grew at my previous house was a white skin white flesh one from the store.
Rat tail radish is good and productive.

I've never done peanuts, but the little yellow peanut flower definitely does well in Florida.
