Square Foot Gardening List - http://www.flinet.com/~gallus/sqft.html

Hi Deb! 

We homeschool as well, and you will find that your kids learn some 
great things by gardening. It's been wonderful for us! 

Depending on how upstate you are, you are probably either zone 4 or 
5 (I am in NH) 

Sorry to hear that your crops didn't work as planned, but yes, there 
still is time! Do you have any idea what got to your peas? Or did 
they just not come up right? Sometimes it helps to get netting to go 
over your garden, and with a small space, it wouldn't be too 
expensive. You can also try some container plants if you have the 
space on a driveway or deck or something. I have several in my 
driveway, because they get full sunlight there. So far they are doing 
ok! You can also plant green beans right now if you get short season 
ones. I got some wonderful mini veges seeds from Johnny's, and they 
ship very quickly. 

Good luck, and just keep trying! 

Missi
