We are moving from OH to VT in a week. I haven't planted a garden this year, since I knew we were moving. Hopefully once we get there I'll be able to find lots of plants. Besides those, I'd love to hear ideas on what things I could plant from seed. Here in OH they try to plant by Mother's Day--this will only be my 3rd year gardening--so what can I plant this late and expect to harvest from? Yes, I know the zone is different, etc. but I was looking for some personal ideas. Thanks in advance!

Oh I grew up in Vermont! You will love it! If you get your garden in quick you should be fine. Just look for quick growing varieties of plants that will mature faster.

I don't know for that Zone, but I'd contact the agriculture extension office when you get to VT. They should point you in the right direction. Hopefully, they'll also introduce you to some Master Gardeners for ideas, too!

Looking at a zone map for VT it would seem you are not as far behind as you think. Most of the state is zone 3 and 4 with a little of 5. You should still find lots of plants, but you will need to find quick varieties due to short growing seasons. If your into heirloom varieties like me there are a lot of them that are good for colder climates. They would probably be good choices for you. Talk to someone at the agriculture extension office in VT for suggestions of varieties. You could look the number up on the internet if you know the town you'll be moving to.

I garden in Zone 4 and just put my garden in. We usually hold off until June 1st to garden. You will probably have until Mid September or early October, so try to start with plants. Beans, beets, carrots all should do fine from seed. I also just put in my squashes by seed.
