I got planted late too. Well after Good Friday but we've had good rains. I had deer trouble last year so put up some solar sidewalk lights from Dollar General. No problems so far. I think it's working.
Life ain't supposed to be easy.

First year growing things vertical cukes and beans are 4 feet up the cattle panels but nothing to pick. Beets are doing well and tomatoes look good but nothing even close to pick yet.

I'm really late this year. Usually start seeds in the basement around the third week of February and put plants in the ground around late April/early May. Heart thingie got me on Feb 17. Between the rain and 90 plus temps I didn't put in the first plants (mater and some eggplant) until Early June. It took me almost three weeks to get everything out of my little greenhouse and in to the garden. Been in the 90's for 9 days now - a little cooler today - so have been pumping water from the brook every day. I did pick 4 pickler cukes yesterday and found a yellow squash about 7 inches long. Maters have fruit on them. Burpee's 4th-of-Julys may be 4th-of-Septembers this year. Some peppers took early but it's been way too hot for their blossoms to set. They'll be late I guess. Cukes, squash and zukes are loaded with blossoms.

I have two, one in lighter soil in my yard that I planted potatoes, onions, peas, early radishes, spinach and lettuce. The spuds look to be doing very well. I will dig my first hills of early Norlands later today. Strawberry yields were low this year but flavor was good. The later garden is on clay soil 6 miles away much closer to the big lake and thus warms slowly. Really good early broccoli crop so far with my tomatoes, squash, corn, carrots, vine plants and dill over there along with the peppers.
Early garden was planted early May (late for us) and the later garden about May 24th with some replanting in June.

Today I gave the tomatoes a shot of fungonil to curb septoria leaf spot and other fungal pathogens, fertilized the tomatoes and onions, and attempted to make my garden look like someone cares. I'll finish with the watering of the tomatoes with the Miracle grow wand. They are already bedded in soil heavily fortified with cow manure.
I'll do a first picking of raspberries today too.
