USDA zone: 10b
Frost: Rare (fewer than 1 year in 10)

What shapes the seasons here

Frost is rare in Naples: freezing nights come less than 1 year in 10. Here heat and summer rain set the planting seasons instead of frost, and fall through spring is the main vegetable season.

Summer nights average 76°F in August. Above about 75°F, tomatoes and peppers stop setting fruit, so the best tomato planting here is Jan 16–Feb 5, Sep 18–Dec 31, timed so plants fruit before or after the hottest weeks.

Naples gets about 50 inches of rain a year, most of it in July, August and September. Crops that rot or get disease in hot, wet weather are timed to miss those months.

163 of the 174 crops in the app grow here; 11 need a different climate (listed near the bottom).

Crops that struggle in Naples

These need a climate Naples doesn't have. Pots, shade cloth or a greenhouse can stretch the rules.

Asparagus: Needs a real winter; nights in the coldest month here average 56°F.
Bee balm (bergamot): Needs a real winter; nights in the coldest month here average 56°F.
Blackberry: Needs a real winter; nights in the coldest month here average 56°F.
Blueberry: Needs a real winter; nights in the coldest month here average 56°F.
Fava bean: It never stays cool long enough here; it wants highs under 75°F while it grows.
Fig: Needs a real winter; nights in the coldest month here average 56°F.
Grape (bunch): Pierce's disease kills bunch grapes where winters are mild and summers wet. Grow muscadines instead.

How these dates are worked out

Each crop has temperature limits and timing from university extension guides: how cold a night it can take, how much heat it can stand, how long it takes to mature, and how far before or after the last frost it goes in. Those are checked day by day against the Naples Muni Airport station's NOAA 1991–2020 climate normals (average highs, lows, rain and frost dates). Dates are estimates for a typical year; a sheltered yard, a slope or a cold pocket can shift them by a week or two.
