Can a vegetable garden be tilled and planted from seed right now May 18 or do the plants have to go in?
Question:
Answers:
You can plant lettuce, broccoli, spinach as soon as you can work the ground. Other plants you had better wait until all threats of frost have passed. If you want an early start best to start indoors.
Good Luck
You need plants- except for beans - My dad starts seeds indoors in Feb - in order to be planted in May.
You would be pushing the growing season. If you have a long summer period, you may be able to do it. Most vegetables have a 75 to 90 day to harvest span.
If you said where you live and exactly what you want to plant you will get wonderful answers.
In general-go for it with what you have.
You should be fine with seeds or plants. In most zones the frost date has passed. Keep an eye on the temps though, you don't want to have a frost and not be prepared.
