What can I plant?
Question:I realize that it is mid to late June already, but I was wondering if there are any vegetables that I can still plant now. Not from seed, but already started. I live in southern New England and the area gets good sun in the morning for about 7 hours (until around 2pm). Please let me know and thank you.
Answers:
absolutely, try tomatoes, peppers, squash, a new planting of chard, cukes. later on as the days cool lettuce will work great.
You can plant just about any vegetable at this time of year in NE. Tomatoes, cukes, squash still have enough time to grow and produce.
Hello
The window for planting vegetables is pretty much closed but you can still plant the slightly larger grown veggies. Tomatoes, eggplant, squash, zuccini, all your herbs, cucumbers, are all grown in 1 gallon pots as well as the small sizes. Most of those take roughyl 55-70 days to mature so if you got them in the ground next weekend you would still be harvesting the crops at the end of September which should not be a problem. I live myself in the the southern most part of New England and there should be no problems. Goodluck and Enjoy!

It depends on what the local nurseries and garden centers still have in plant stock. You can still put in tomatoes, peppers, herbs and whatever other plants you might be able to find. But your harvest will just be a month or so behind when other people will be harvesting. You can even still do certain quick growing crops from seed. Radishes are super fast, and later in the summer/early fall you can do some lettuces or spinach too, which are quick and like the cooler weather.
