I'm about to give up on anything growing this summer. I got a late start since my seeds would sprout, then weirdly seem to die off overnight. My second round of seeds did great with tomatoes, and I put a few things in the ground but I think it was too late. Going to till it all under and start fresh for fall. What things should I be looking to start now or within the next couple of weeks? I'm in the Birmingham area, and it looks like zone 8A, if that makes a difference.

I think this weekend I'm busting out the tiller again and going with seeds in the ground. Just got home yesterday from being gone a week, and was expecting to come home to either dead tomato plants or still no blooms. Lo and behold, there were several blooms on all of the 7 plants I have out on the deck. We got some monster rain here last week while I was gone, according to my neighbor, so I got lucky they're surviving.
