I think you may have missed your Window of Opportunity on the Cucumbers. :( Planting guides say May-June for Cucumber in Zone 7a.

HOWEVER - if you have a shaded spot that gets MORNING sun (East side of the house, barring any leafy trees that would block the sun) you could still try them in pots. :)

Or, hit the Farmer’s Market; cucumbers are like a nickle a-piece in High Season but you’ll be supporting a local Farmer! :)

Wisconsin grows SO MANY root crops - potatoes, onions, carrots - that I don’t bother to grow them. They’re always cheap and plentiful for me.

Do what you can, with what you’ve got, where you are. :)
