Is it too late to plant anything in a garden?

Question

If it isn't, what is best to plant?

Answer 1

Depends on where you live. You've not provided enough information to give a definite answer. Best advice I can give is to go to a local Feed/Seed store where farmers congregate and ask them for advice. Each location is unique due to climate and soil components. Probably unless you live in the artic there is still time to plant something.

Answer 2

It is probably too late for most things if you are starting from seed. If your local garden center has plants then, depending on where you live you might still make a crop of some things. Tomatoes will produce until night temps fall into the 50's.

I just transplanted (late) hot peppers that I started from seed. I may not get alot from each plant but I have them planted all over the place.

I also have a few late tomato plants. I expect they will be producing strong as the others are slowing down.

You might get some flowers to plant as well.

Now is the time to get online and start requesting your seed catalogs for next year. It is never too early to start planning.

If you start from seed you should do that indoors 6-8 weeks before the expected last frosty morning.

Answer 3

Are you talking about a flower garden? Also it would depend on where you are located. In a warmer climate or a colder (like Minnesota where the growing season is much shorter). If you are talking about a flower garden, you can still plant some items that are already in pots (not seeds, it is too late for seeds to come up and bloom), marigolds, zinnias, petunias, and such. They won't get as big as they would have if planted earlier, but still will bloom. If you are talking about a garden for things to eat, there are still a few things that could be planted. Things that have a short growing time. We used to plant green beans clear up till September when we lived in Illinois. Again, where you are located and your climate/growing season will also depend on what you could still plant for a garden of things to eat. A few places are still selling tomato plants that have blooms already on them. You might get some tomatoes off them before the season is over with.

no longer a project. you're able to be able to desire to circulate to the save to get flowers however as that's in all threat too previous due for seeds. maximum places would be merchandising their vegetables greater inexpensive at this factor besides. once you pick for a tomato plant do no longer worry if it seems a sprint "leggy' ( long and skinny.) once you plant it plant basically approximately the whole element underground. as a replace of digging a deep hollow dig a hollow a minimum of two or 3 inches deep yet long. you will desire to plant the soil section at an attitude in this style of way that most of the stem would be underground. what is going to ensue is this is going to strengthen roots all alongside the stem which will make it a sturdier plant. i actually basically am planting some zucchini and cucumbers immediately ( stay in thornhill) basically water each and every thing in nicely and keep nicely watered except we get some greater storms.

Answer 5

Not normally. Unless you are in Alaska, you should be able to put something in yet. Look on the seed packages and see what the days to harvest is. If it is long enough, get them in and enjoy. If it is too long as a lot will be, wait for next year and try something else. As for what is best to plant, depends on your tastes. Radishes take about 3 weeks to mature from seed to eating, other things take a bit longer and then there are the pumpkins or squash or things like that that will take two to three months to produce. So look on your seed packet and don't be afraid to try new things.

Answer 6

You can still plant in some parts of the country. If you are in the far north, probably not. In Oh. we still plant squash, zucchini (from plants) green beans from seeds. Later, in about 4-6 weeks, you can plant spinach, radishes, lettuces. Check with your local garden store. If there are plants still available you can still probably get some of the crop harvested.

Answer 7

Usually when you shop for seeds , on the packet it has times and different parts of the country to plant . No , it's never too late to plant .

Answer 9

I hope not, I finally got time to plant mine (both veg and flower) just two days ago. But, I didn't plant seeds, I got plants, instead -- and I got them half price, because it's late in season.
