I'm going to lay out my garden plan. I'm starting seeds today, and hope to be transplanting into a cold frame. In the fall, I hope to have a greenhouse set up by then to extend the season for the peppers and tomatoes. So keep that in mind. I have one 6'x6' raised bed, two 6'x2', and tons of container gardening space, and two large holes I've dug and filled with soil.
I want to know if I'm wasting my time planting any of these this late (Zone 8a).
>tomatoes: cosmonaut volkov (determinate), san marzano (indeterminate)
>peppers: yellow pequin, aji lemon drop, zapotec jalepeno, peach ghost scorpion, aleppo, shishito, scotch bonnets, habanada (spiceless hab), chocolate hab, thai dragon, aji charipita
>peas, spinach, lettuce
>yellow squash, pumpkin, watermelon, cucamelons
The peppers will be in containers, so they can be moved. The indeterminate tomatoes will occupy the two 6'x2' beds. The 6'x6' bed will be for yellow squash, and I'll havea trellis for the peas in the squash bed. The watermelon and pumpkin will occupy the holes I've dug in the backyard.

I decided I wanted butternut squash too, but after placing them in my cart it blew up. I now have in my cart several varieties of tomatoes (including cherry), long day sweet onions (walla walla), a yellow sweet storage onion F1 (couldn't find an OP), scallions, shallots, basil, fennel, cilantro and cumin. Let me know if it's too late to start these from seeds a week from now (after they arrive). I plan on putting the onions next to the squash and maybe between each pair of tomatoes too.
Pic rel. The rest will be in containers. Does this all sound good?
