This is my first garden and it wasn't ready to plant until now.
According to the local planting schedule I missed the planting dates for
some of my early crops.

Can I plant late and still get healthy plants? Peas, Spinach, Broccoli,
potatoes?

Thanks


Yes, most likely you can still get a good crop but that depends a lot on
the weather. Be sure to use the right variety of seeds (or plants) for
your area.


The online Farmer's Almanac talks about phases of the moon. Should I wait
for the moon phase or plant as soon as possible?
