Inspired by the tread concerning beans. I plant about three weeks
apart . Some plants can't handle the heat beans can.

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

This is out'en Charlie's archive. I only steal from the best.

-- People need to remember that these are average frost dates, for zone
5.
I'm also zone five.

Some years things will be done in around the average date, other years
it may go much later. Three years ago we were still harvesting
tomatoes aaround thanksgiving time. I had covered a few plants when
frost hit the end of october. No frost or freeze until around
thnksgiving.

An' that's the way it is, movin' on.
