The latest you've ever planted

Short version: started seeds in March, had to resow some.

Parents went into hospice at transplant time, and I have been caregiving. Many plants were still in solo cups until late June, when I finally transplanted the majority. Still had 12 plants left to go in.

Last night, I transplanted my final 6 to earthboxes. Three were cherries. The good news is my first frost date is December, and our hottest month is usually September. The bad news is, we have been known to have a rare two day November frost.

Couldn't be helped, my parents are actively dying, and there has been no time for anything. So it's an experimental year - how late can I plant and still get a crop? Last year was not absurdly warm for us, and I was still harvesting as late as November. Fingers crossed.

Curious, what is the latest you've ever transplanted?
