From my own experience, I've found that planting another round of beans will give you a nice late summer/early fall crop. Carrots are also an easy one to keep sowing all season. Depending on how long your growing season is, you may want to try starting some cool season veggies so that they mature before the first frost. Broccoli, cauliflower, swiss chard and possibly even peas and spinach are good fall garden candidates. On the other hand, I've had a very hard time with growing veggies in preparation for the fall, at least in my area. If the seeds actually germinate in the heat of summer, it's not long before pests find the little sprout and decimate them before they can get established. If you can start your plants indoors and grow them big enough to withstand heat and bug attacks, you should be able to have a nice fall garden. Starting plants outdoors will require constant supervision. Protection from pests and maintaining adequate moisture are major issues that have to be addressed.

I wish I could give you more actual experience, but the only things I remember sowing here were the Desert Bluebells and a few Penstemon Quite easy. I'm throwing out some California poppies, sunflowers and since seeing your calendar, Gaillardia seeds today. I'll get some desert blue-bell seeds from the DBG sale next month, hope it won't be too late. So, wish me luck! And for another calendar.....

Solorya, It is far too late to sow carrot seed or lettuce seed for spring/summer production. The OSU-recommended planting dates for them are February 15 - March 10th, and the summer/fall dates to plant them for an autumn/winter harvest are months away. Lettuce just melts away in the high heat here. Carrots, even planted this late, will grow just fine. They will sprout and they will grow, but the heat just kills their sweetness. Because the space you have is so limited, there is not necessarily a lot you can plant right now,but these are the veggies for which we still remain within the OSU-recommended planting period: cucumber, eggplant, okra, pepper, pumpkins, southern peas, summer squash or winter squash. I have planted mini-melons, often referred to as refrigerator melons, and cantaloupes both as late as mid-June and gotten a harvest from them in August through October. It would be hard to grow either one in a one square foot space but you can put a tall tomato cage around them and train them to climb the cage and grow them in a small space that way. If you enjoy using fresh herbs, you still can plant pretty much any herb you choose now....basil, borage, lemon balm, Texas tarragon/Mexican Mint Marigold, sage, rosemary, thyme, etc. For a few cool-season herbs like cilantro, chives, dill and parsley, even though we normally plant them in cooler weather, I always sow some at this time of the year for fall and they sprout and grow just fine. The cilantro will try to bolt during intense heat, but I just succession sow more every couple of weeks so I always have a new clump of it coming along. If we could be sure that the June through August temperatures would stay cooler than average, you could sow bush beans...but their performance becomes iffy here as the summer goes on and the temperatures rise. In an average to cooler-than-average summer, you sometimes can succession-sow bush beans all summer for a continuous harvest, but in an hotter-than-average summer like we had in 2011 and 2012, the high temperatures make their blossoms drop without forming beans during the worst of the summer heat. That makes them iffy for summer production. I wouldn't use limited space for bush beans at this time of year simply because they are iffy, but would wait and sow seed in mid-summer for a fall harvest. You probably could sow Swiss chard again and get plants and a harvest. I just sowed seeds a couple of weeks ago to replace last year's Swiss Chard plants which were bolting, and those plants have sprouted and are a couple of inches tall now. As long as you keep them well-watered, and harvest the leaves young and tender in the summer, they are fine as a summer crop, being more heat-tolerant than lettuce and other greens are. I'm going to link the OSU Garden Planning Guide below to give you an idea of the recommended planting dates for late winter through late spring here in OK.

The list of warm season crops (what we are in now) is really quite long so it boils down to what do you want to plant/eat? Just a partial list: Beans Corn Cucumbers Edamame Eggplant Muskmelons Okra Peppers Pumpkins Squash Sweet potato (needs long, hot, frost-free season) Tomatillo Tomato Watermelon Zucchini Herbs (annual) Basil But the real question is, other than the "worms" (which can be easily treated next year), what other things made you early spring crops not do well? Does your soil need work for anything to do well? Do you need to feed or water your plants differently? Do you have enough sun exposure? What went wrong with the cabbage and cauliflower before the worms got to them? Dave
