I think you can still enjoy quite a bit even at this time. You can plant all kinds of greens that will produce just fine. Broccoli should produce, but I forget the duration it takes from planting until you can pick. I've got one seedling tray loaded with broccoli plants to put in this evening actually, that I delayed so it does not all come in at once, some of which I hope to freeze. I planted some broccoli earlier around the solstice and its thriving right now. I'll mulch rows I don't use until its time. In this case one row of corn did not come up, so these will go there after I cultivate by hand. I've done that with potatoes, worst is they will just be smaller as I have experienced, but one 70' row was quite a bit actually, got me through winter. In '13 I planted a 70'x50' area of sweet corn, 3 or 4 types at different durations until harvest. I had planted an earlier crop in my upper garden and the rain was so prevalent, temperatures low and this was June, none of it germinated. I planted the larger area later on the summer solstice, after the rains let up, got my first ear by Labor Day, and it was literally the best sweet corn I have ever had until that time. It may have been an early and often type as I recall. I planted the shorter duration in front of the longer growing corn, figured it would come in front to back when planting, which it did.

Today's Featured Article - The Ferguson System Principal An implement cutting through the soil at a certain depth say eight inches requires a certain force or draft to pull it. Obviously that draft will increase if the implement runs deeper than eight inches, and decrease if it runs shallower. Why not use that draft fact to control the depth of work automatically? The draft forces are ... [Read Article]
