My season has been a roller coaster so far for sure!!!!

My budget got cut completely, my flowers were considered non essential so all orders for annuals were canceled, then my budget got restored (two weeks after I normally would have been FINISHED planting annuals).

I explained that there was no way we were going to be able to fully plant our 2020 plan and we'd have to focus on high value/visibility beds only. I thought I was done planting annuals last week but just heard that we may be planting more, possibly even through July.

My question to our grand community (thank you for your patience with my mini rant) is... When would you consider it too late to plant annuals?

Do you feel there is an actual date you wouldn't plant past?

Do you feel there are diminishing returns but accept that the late planted annuals will be smaller and still think they're worth it?

Do you say, "damn the torpedoes, I'll plan annuals until I have have to chip a hole in the ground!"?
