Broccoli and cauliflower

There/s plenty-o-time left in the zone 6 growing season to...

-- sow seeds now -- green beans squash cucumber

-- transplant seedlings now -- tomato (short season varieties 55 - 65 days) bell pepper onion (90-day)

-- sow seeds next month -- Cos lettuce (sow seeds early August and/or set transplants early September) spinach (sow seeds mid-August) cauliflower, cabbage, and broccoli (sow seeds late July of transplants mid-August)

Time/s a-wasting, so you/d better get busy.

Great. Thanks for the ideas.

Huh?? You should have enough time for another broccoli flower set. Keep those plants there and start ny new crop you might try in-between them. In a month or so, the brocolli may be finished. You can tell the time to pull the plants because the flowerettes will be small and almost immediately leggy.
