When I first installed raised beds in my garden, I often felt like a dolt and mistakes were thick on the ground. I’d neglect adding compost and then not understand why my raspberries weren’t thriving, for example. Or I’d forget to turn off my timer on a rainy day and kick myself for wasting water. I also assumed certain things that just weren’t true—like I couldn’t plant any summer vegetables after spring.
I’ve found that a lot of beginning gardeners believe this to be true. Maybe it’s because there’s such a big marketing push for early spring gardening that once June rolls around we believe we’ve missed the boat. Or perhaps nobody told us about succession sowing, which is when you plant some seeds, let a couple of weeks go by, and then plant the same kind of seed again so you’ll get more than one crop. (Not to be confused with a Succession obsession, which I already succumbed to. I still can’t get over that final scene with Shiv and Tom in the car.)
Regardless, you still have so much time to grow the vegetable garden of your dreams. Here’s our guide to what you can still plant, where, and when.

Q: Some time ago I planted a number of Tropaeolum ciliatum along a privet hedge. Over the years it has covered the hedge and is now choking it, and has spread to planting on the adjacent road.

I’m lucky enough to have Great Dixter as one of my local gardens, so I can pop in regularly to see the seasonal changes and to attend some of the events that take place there. When I recently visited Dixter with a friend, I was rather taken by the characterful stalls that remain in place between plant fairs. Denuded of plants they look li
