Is it to late to plant a garden in south Louisiana?
Question:I would like to plant tomatoes,cucumbers,squash,and banana peppers.Should I plant in direct sunlight or 50/50 sun and shade?What about okra and turnip greens?
Answers:
The farmers almanac says that for June:
23-24 Favorable for planting peas, beans, tomatoes and other fall crops bearing aboveground. Sow grains and forage crops. Plant flowers.
25-26-27 Extra good for planting fall lettuce, cabbage, cauliflower, collards and other leafy vegetables. All aboveground crops planted now will do well. Plant seedbeds also.
30 Plant late beets, potatoes, onions, carrots and other root crops.
You still have time. If you need more info then go to www.farmersalmanac.com.
You can plant in the sun. Water after sunset so you don't scorch the plants. I'm from Coushatta, Louisiana and I am planting this weekend.
nope go ahead and plant away...still have a long growing season ahead
No Dear. Plant away!
Look for things that bloom summer to fall and avoid things that bloom in spring.
I agree with all before me...make sure you have FULL sunlight for all of those.
Whatz wrong with you people? You can't plant maters this late this far south - I gare-ron-tee it's too late.
Wait a couple of months til it cools down a bit and plant the largest short day mater plants you can find.
Okra, turnip greens, and black eye peas will do just find in your muggy summer days. In fact those are about all I'd recommend this late to do well.
Banana peppers, Cucumbers and squash - maybe, they're worth a try,
