My plots are in S.E. Louisiana, about 70 miles North of New Orleans, in a pine tree plantation area. I suspect the conditions are pretty close to what you have.
I can tell you that if your plots are small like mine - in the 1/3 to 1/2 acre range - you will be wasting money with any type of bean plants. They won't get past six inches before the deer wipe them out. I get my generic seed from a local feed & seed store and plant a mix of wheat, oats and about any variety of white (Ladino) clove plus a bit of chicory. It's cheaper than the bags with pictures of big bucks andI have great success with this mix. The oats and wheat are a good winter draw, with the clover and chicory coming in strong in the spring to feed the pregnant does.
Also, if you're in Florida's Zone D, I suggest you hold off planting until mid-September, or about two to three weeks before your season opener.
