[Ghost of Philip Marlowe]

Good advice.

And I suppose if you plant late, even four weeks after the actual last-frost date, you’ll still get a crop, right? It just may not reach the fullest potential because it will be growing later into the season (that is, when the cold weather returns)? Would this be correct, or do crops have a peak and if you plant too late, you simply miss it and will not have a crop?

It depends on what you are growing. Somethings take almost every day of warm sun you can give them; others cannot handle the full heat of summer, and even among the same kind of plant, the length of season varies. Cherry tomatoes usually produce earlier than larger tomatoes.

I recommend you get a catalogue from Johnny's selected seeds. The catalogues contain detailed planting information which should answer a lot of your questions. They aren't the cheapest source of seeds, but their product is always as represented and their customer service is reliable. AS with anything else, you get what you pay for.
