What to plant?

14 years ago

I know that I'm late starting, but have just about finished getting the grass out of my old garden, and got the tiller running. I have a 25'x15' back yard garden that I'd like to plant in a small variety of vegetables, but am not sure what's appropriate given my lack of planning, lack of prep of the soil so far, and late start!

Suggestions?

Thanks,

Chuck

It's not a late start. Last frost date just passed like ... two days ago? You're right on time, if anything.

You can literally put anything in the ground right now.

You can plant anything but the colder needing veggies (English Peas etc.) even wait until May--the warmer soil will help everything get off to a quick start.
