Welcome! to ATP!

No, not yet. Well, its too late snap peas; they should be planted in the fall.

You have shortened your growing season by a couple months but it's so long, a couple months won't hurt anything. Your soil may be warm enough now to direct sow your peppers and tomatoes. Wait another month and direct sow your cantaloupes, zucchini and melons.

In your climate, all your veggies might benefit from some afternoon shade but that's what shade cloth was invented for. Tomatoes and hot peppers will take a lot of heat and sun but bell peppers will not. The melons (or at least the fruit) will have to be protected also.

Have fun! I'm envious; my fingers are just itching to get in the dirt.
