new sfg in houston tx - planting suggestions?

MikeMcM1956
9 years ago

I know it's a little late in the season, but I have built a SFG raised bed box and filled it with homemade Mel's Mix. I am considering the following:

Bell peppers
Chile peppers
Bush beans
Snap peas
Arugula
Dwarf kale
Eggplant
Spinach
Carrots
Leaf lettuce mix
Radishes

Are all of these do-able, or is it too late in the season for some of these? If so, any suggestions for substitutes? I've got a 5x5 bed, so have some room and flexibility.
