No it is not too late, start reading everything you can on this site, and ask for some seeds; these people are very generous. Good luck!

Read over some grower diaries from 2010 or other years. That way you can see what to do from prep to finish.

Another inexpensive way to go (seed wise) is post on seed exchange board you want some seeds!!! A Lil advice up front...prbly don't need to buy top shelf seeds for yer first year!!

I will reinterate green gene's comment, join a local club, experienced growers are a wealth of knowledge, if you can visit their patch and vice versa it is a great thing!
