High humidity is a given in the Lower South. We always say: “It’s not the heat, it’s the humidity!”.
As a gardener it’s a good thing!
Tomatoes and cucumbers grow very large although they stop blooming when the nights are too hot in midsummer!
Vegetables seem to grow larger than normal. Banana chilies:
Insects are everywhere!
Bumble bee:
Summer vegetables reproduce in overdrive to the point that you wonder if birth control is an option?
Zucchini:
The humidity helps tropical plants to mature faster!
Bananas:
Some perennials reproduce to the point of becoming weedy!
Day lilies:
And did I mention azaleas in the Spring?
And hydrangeas in early Summer?
And Oakleaf hydrangeas
And I could go on and on…
Wow! You can find something nice to say about humidity? Actually you are right. Many plants enjoy it and my tropicals are loving it. I like to think I have less wrinkles because of it.

Do you have any trouble with mildew because of the high humidity? I’m seeing quite a bit here this year.
