How late in the summer can you plant?
Late July through August is the perfect time to replant or even plant seeds for the first time. Check your seed packets for the days to harvest. Look up your average first frost date online and work backwards to determine your safe planting time. April is the best time to plant most of your vegetable seeds after your last frost. It’s still not too late to plant tomatoes and peppers from seeds as well. Be sure to check your gardening zone for last frost dates.
What is the best cover crop to plant in June?
In June, legumes such as soybeans, southern peas, and Partridge pea are other good legumes to consider. Soybeans are a great summer cover crop and they are also a legume, so they add nitrogen to the soil. Warm-season vegetables that can still be planted through June include basil, beans, cucumbers, edamame, eggplants, melons, okra, peppers, summer squash, sweet potatoes, and tomatoes.
