Spinach, tomatoes – buy a seedling, peas, rutabaga, parsnip, green onions, cilantro, parsley, zucchini, potatoes, onion sets. Lots of veggies will still produce if planted late – planting too early is more detrimental up north where I am.

I live in south Florida, can I still play tomatoes and peppers this week?

I live in hot, sunny Southern California in Los Angeles! Please, please tell me I didn't waste time planting my garden this late!
*(My first garden in my new place, so i had to do lots of prep as soon as i moved in, but it took a long time)
for all those who worry about planting late. I live in eastern pa. this is the first time in years that my garden got started before the second week of july. I have always had an awesome garden so don't worry, just plant and enjoy. you can always look for short season varieties.

I really like this post. The very first time I did a vegetable garden, It didn't even occur to me to start it until June. (I'm in Maryland) I was in my local big box store a few days ago and was surprised to see that they even still had many transplants still for sale. Also, though you may be limited starting summer vegetables in June, it's a good time to prep a space and your soil for a fall garden. Lettuce, all greens, beets, broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, cabbages all do best in the fall, and some of them can be planted in late July if you're putting them in as seed.

Too bad whoever wrote this article has no basic understanding of science and the fact that any seed they buy to plant is a GMO….
Please do a little research before you jump on the anti gmo bandwagon. All human consumed foods grown on a commercial scale are the product of millennia of genetic engineering.

Before you pop off you should understand the difference between GMO and hybridization. GMO seeds are highly controlled and not available to the average person. You are the one who needs to do some more research.
Justin Canine June 3, 2017 at 9:28 am -

Ahhh so you are talking about genetically engineered seeds.
There is a difference. But you should already know that Mr research.

Hybridization is a form of genetic modification, unless you are just trying to argue semantics. And my point is still valid that the article has needless GMO fear mongering.

Funny how you are quick to jump on me because of a lack of clarification by informing me of how you can't even get gmo seeds if you're a member of the general public, yet you don't address the article and it's author's attempt to make it seem like you have to be very careful not to avoid gmo seeds.

Seriously people think these things are giving them cancer and autism…. That kind of quackery should either be corroborated with evidence or silenced.

But hey you're the crusader stopping gmo misinformation right?

Typical, get your facts wrong but blame the one who pointed it out. Used to seeing that from people with limited knowledge.

monsanto alters the dna of the plants to make them tolerant of harsh chemicals like round up. Round up is stuck in the vegetables, in a safe amount, they say. They tell us the herbicide is destroyed in our stomach. I believe it is the other way around.
