I haven't had time over the last couple of years to do any gardening other than landscaping stuff now and then. When I saw one of my garlic cloves had sprouted in the fridge, I decided to see if I could get it to grow roots in a little container of water. It did, so now it's graduated to a pot:
That seemed encouraging, so when we did our last Wal-Mart run I picked up these three packets of seed:
I will probably kill them all, but then nothing ventured etc.

I however, can't plant anything yet. It was 31 this morning again. I probably won't be able to get any plants either so there's that. Means no veggie garden this year, but at least my flowers are all perennials.
Hope you guys are doing well.
Make sure the asparagus is in a bed that won't be disturbed for several years. An average asparagus bed will easily produce 20 years or more. Coming from seed you probably won't be able to pick any asparagus for at least the first two years.
Your watermelon and cucumber will probably grow great in Florida. They love long, hot, and rainy weather. I'm constantly having to water mine to meet their demands.
As you know, I missed the boat on ordering fresh seed this year, but I had just enough to start the garden.
Good luck! Let me know how they turn out. The Sugar Baby Watermelon is especially delicious. It's my favorite of all watermelons.
