Not at all..... A lot of people don't plant until after Easter.

You have time to get it done if you get after it.

Yep. I only planted a little of mine. Stagger planting this year so it all don't come ripe at the same time, I hope.

gonna get down to 37 Tuesday night...I am worried its gonna kill or stunt what I have now, and until the ground reaches above 70 degrees at night most summer stuff does not grow very fast. It is not to late to plant... It better not frost Tuesday night

I got some tomatoes plants that are a foot tall now. I may cover them with a 5 gallon bucket Tue night.

My green beans are about 3" tall. I am trying to decide what is best way to protect them.

You still have plenty of time. I've been bit in the arse too many times because I got impatient and planted before Easter. You can always count on that Easter cool spell. Some of the peppers that I want I havent even ordered the seeds yet.

Get some 6-10 cans from a cafeteria, put the open end over the plant. They'll be okay as long as the frost doesn't get on the leaves.
