12 weeks to first frost, what should I plant?

So I checked my first frost date and did the calendar check, and it turns out I have about 12 weeks left to my first frost date. I went out and pulled out my bush beans and pea plants, so now I have four or five squares to plant in.

Does anyone have any suggestions of what I should plant? I was thinking more bush beans. Is it too late/hot to plant peas right now? I'll be planting some carrots and luttuce for sure.

Hi Littlesapphire:

I not sure if I can help you but I will try.

One of the websites I used for planting dates is Burpee.com. When you get to their home page, click on the lower left side "Growing Calendar". When you get to that page enter your zip code for vegetables. It is a great calendar. You can print it and/or copy to your documents.

For your info, I just planted my second set of bush green beans, carrots, lettuce, radishes and peas and I live in Central NJ.

I hope this helps. Laughing
