In New England, in my opinion, it's either too later or too early for lettuce...wait a month or so for a fall crop. You can do beans now, as well as zucchini and other squash. My peppers are also very puny...we need a little more sun please!

Tomatoes are fairly quick growing but you'll need to buy plants. There are a lot of sales at the nurseries now. Check out your local garden centers (not the box stores) and see if you can buy veggie plants.

What about trying some cucumbers? They can often grow pretty fast if the weather starts to warm up. Sometimes it is even better for them to start them late and maybe miss the cucumber beetle. If you are heading to the nursery looking for tomato plants, if they had some pepper plants still hanging around they might still be fine. Who knows, sometimes around here we can get a very hot September.

I have done potatoes this late and have been happy. How about some of the smaller varieties of pumpkin and don't forget butternut and acorn squash. Tomorrow is my CSA day I'll ask what they are planting now..they are amazing. I'll bring my camera..PLEASE someone share with me why I no longer see photo's on GW. Is there a reason I should not share my photo's?

runktrun, there are still pics posted. Just look at the thread running right now in this forum 'Pictures of Countryman Peony Farm'.

Hi Katy :-)

Yes you still see photos, but not as often as you used to. When this site changed over to IVillage, they began a new policy that all text and photos posted to GW become the property of the owner of the site. I think that since then I have seen a lot less photos.
