Not too late at all Jeannine. My three varieties are still in packets. I'll start them in a couple weeks and plant them out second-ish week June. I have even direct seeded as they are similar to sweetpeas in legginess and fast growers. (different seasons i know but similar plant growth) They hate cold so no reason to even start them much ahead. I often get wintered over volunteers but can't count on that so i start a few. They are not like a tomato in growth. More like a leggy sprawling cuke. Easily ignored till end of August-Sept when they explode. Toms and beans are dying off, then the tomatillos start filling out their lantern 'greenhouses'.
