This is my first time planting a garden as late as June, but I am so excited to have a garden this year.
I have a nice big plot on our property. It is bigger than my last two gardens at our last two places.
Asparagus
Dinosaur Kale
Cabbage
Broccoli
Bell Peppers
Anaheim Chilis
Roma Tomatoes
Sweet 100 Tomatoes
Big Beef Tomatoes
Yukon Gold Potatoes
Purple Potatoes
Onions
Carrots
Beets
Swiss Chard
Green Beans
Watermelon
Cantaloupe
Butternut Squash
We'll see how everything grows. Like I said, I've never planted a garden this late. According to all the information on the seed packets, I should have enough time for our vegetables to mature before frost.
The sad part is that I had to buy tomato plants. I had a tragedy with my tomatoes that I started from seed.
From everything I can read online and pictures I have looked at, the deformed leaves on my plants look like tomatoes that have been damaged by herbicides.
I don't know how that could have happened. My other plants are just fine. But I couldn't transplant my tomatoes and wait to see if they were going to snap out of it because of how late in the season it is. I would have no opportunity to replant if my tomato plants were permanently damaged.
Thankfully, there was a garden/farm store in our area that still had a large selection of plants left!
I was able to purchase all the plants I needed.
How are your gardens growing?

That is exciting that you are able to plant a big garden this year! I hope it will grow well for you. I planted a few things this year, I just planted some cucumbers and zucchini yesterday, so some of mine is late as well.

Thank you for the comment, Emily! It is nice to know that I am not alone with planting late. Hopefully, we both have bountiful crops.
DeleteWhat a great garden patch. Disappointing about the tomatoes, you'd done such a great job of growing them. I still have bell peppers to put in and some flowers.
