Spring plants

Just read that we should have already planted onions, peas, snow peas, carrots and radishes. Oh, come one guys, We`ve never planted anything before May 24. Mind you, I live in Canada, where weather is the topic of conversation in every region where vegies or fish is a source of income. Still, I feel like such a failure even though hubby plants the veggies and will be surprised to find out he should have planted early.
