That can’t be emphasized enough. Here in the north, it’s still in planting season time. There is still time to get some crops and and see a harvest.
And if you’ve never gardened before, this would be a good time to start and learn. There is a learning curve and better to do it before your life depends on what you are able to grow.
We put potatoes in for the first time this year. Seems like the most bang for the buck.
They’re doing well so far

It is cool and very dry, though lots of sun. Our garden is planted and doing ok. We just need about a 10-degre rise in temp and about 20% more humidity. We had a few days (twice) of 80-90 degrees and some drenching rains that jump started things, but 60s/40s don’t give much growth.
I did plant several early, drought-resistant varieties this year and am about to install a bottle-drip system, right after I side dress next week. I forgot the rock phosphate at planting and need to add it to the tomato & pepper beds.
At least the bunnies have plenty of grass and the fencing keeps out them & the deer. Greens are in rail planters and loving this weather. I should have planted peas, but it was too hot, so I skipped them this year and now I have no room.
Anyone planting carrots, which can be succession planted, look on YT for the cornstarch gel method. I used it this year and in 1 week some carrots are already sprouted. I soaked for 2 days, made a 2cup water:4Tbs cornstarch gel and applied it as you would use a pastry bag. 1 hr later we got unforecast 1/2” rain. Didn’t hurt a thing.
So much can happen in 120 days......no one emphasizes how much angst a gardener can experience in a season. And each season is different.
