Fortunately, there is still time to plant several vegetable crops. In central Iowa, the last practical date to plant early maturing sweet corn varieties is July 1. Cucumbers and summer squash can be planted until July 20. August 1 is the last practical date to plant snap beans, carrots, and beets. (The last practical planting dates would be approximately 1 week earlier in northern Iowa and 1 week later in southern portions of the state.)
