There is still time to get in some of the warm loving crops for summer.
I stopped by A&P Nursery (on Lindsey and Baseline) and they have a great selection of starts.
I picked up a zucchini plant to replace the seeds planted. The pill bugs ate my seeds before they could even sprout. I will plant that today.

According to The Urban Farm planting calendar we can still plant Jerusalem Artichoke, asparagus, basil, black eyed beans, fava beans, lima beans, yard long beans, corn of all kinds, Armenian cucumber, and standard cucumber (though I have had better success with Armenian cucumber here), eggplant transplants, Jicama, melons, okra, peppers, pumpkin, winter and summer squash, sweet potato transplants, tomatillo and tomato transplants. 

It is a bit late in the season to be putting out tomato transplants. If you still want tomatoes this year, find the largest transplants you can.

I noticed A&P Nursery had square foot garden supplies. Both Mel's Mix and raised beds. Can it get any easier?! They also have some set up as a display and planted with a variety of veggies.
