First harvest of spinach and garlic and greens and kale happening now. Don't think it is too late! I have grown peas and beans after the 1st day of summer, usually the first week of July, there is plenty of time and I live in a short growing season. Winter squashes and pie pumpkins and pickling cukes should be on their way by now, kinda late to start them in the North. Potatos and onions should be in too, and corn. Peas beans beets kale chard carrots can go in now. I am having a heck of a time with grasshoppers and I do not use pesticides, so I find that wood ash deters them. Tomatos and peppers look awesome, time to stake and prune. I wish I had more help digging up some more space, it needs to be mowed down, full of clover and grass, but it would easily give me 100 more feet of space. I'm 73 with chronic lyme and the body can do just so much.
I saw a video on FB of someone pulling an old-time plow behind a riding lawnmower. The husband was guiding the plow, and the wife was driving the mower. It was actually working pretty well. I believe I have an old plow around here somewhere. I'll have to try it. You might see me on YouTube someday. :)
