Victory Gardens Planting Guide for Late Summer Crops
Gardeners plan first sowings of late vegetables the first week of July. Carrots beets and early sweet corn may mature before frost if planted July 1 7 in the north and July 7 15 in the south. These vegetables need 90 to 105 days to mature. Success hinges on planting within the recommended window. Do not wait for rain if soil is dry. Sow within time limits regardless of moisture.

Plant lice attack many garden crops and flowers
Instructions advise inspecting plants for soft bodied green or red lice and using nicotine sulfate Blackleaf 40 with soap or rotenone dust to control them. Gardeners should also watch for green cabbage worms and remove or dust with rotenone dust.
Dust control for cabbage pests with arsenic dust
