Try growing varieties made for Florida's climate too. I did that with my tomatoes; even the names sound hot and humid for my picks: Homestead, Everglades and Tropic. If you can get plants that are bred for a hotter zone, they should do much better for you. Then, save the seeds from the plants that outperform the others.
It looks like you have pretty sandy soil there. How are the onions that are grown in your area? Not certain how close you are to Vidalia. I'm going to try a raised bed with simulated Vidalia soil this fall to see if I can duplicate it.
