Can you believe how many seeds you can still plant this month? Personally, my main challenge is figuring out where to cram in all the plants I still want to grow. We've got plenty of time left to keep things growing—just gotta time it right with your plants.
Grab some seeds, head out to your garden, and let's keep this growing season rolling!
Something new on the list you’ve never grown before? Now is the time to experiment and have fun in the garden!
A huge thank you to Betty Cahill for providing comprehensive seeding charts!!

I’m Elisa Mack - a mom and Denverite who went from being a green-ish thumb to a kitchen garden fanatic simply by dedicating myself to the study of all things Colorado gardening.
Landscapers don’t design. And nurseries don’t make house calls.
We take a more full-service approach, from designing your dream garden to keeping it beautiful year-round.
And as your coach, I’ll help eliminate the guesswork through every season, no matter your level of knowledge.
