[QUOTE="WTM, post: 5352499, member: 6230"] not too late for warm season crops. carrots will need to wait until fall. you can have a fall crops of lettuce, carrots along with turnup greens and kale. corn, green beans, crook neck/straight yellow squash, zuchini, cukes, tomatoes, all peppers, egg plants, melons, pumpkins and sweet potatoes. the only slips needed are tomatoes, peppers, eggplants and sweet potatoes. the rest are grown from direct seed planting in the garden. the greenhouse up the street from me sells them for $1/plant. dont forget the herbs and flowers. ie, marigolds are great border insect deterrents as are basil around tomatoes. a summer tomato salad with basil is pretty awesome. keep in mind when you plant them to pay attention to where you plant them in relation to each other. this is called companion planting because plants will attract pests that will kill or damage other plants. also every year rotate your planting locations, ie plant summer squash on the other side of the garden feom where you planted the year before. the reason for this is that pests affecting the plants will burrow in the ground over winter and attack the new plants. this breaks their life cycle. also in fall do a garden cleanup and put debris in the compost pile, except for tomatoe vines, they go in the trash. companion plant chart [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.burpee.com/blog/companion-planting-guide_article10888.html[/URL] [/QUOTE]
