This is possibly a very stupid question.
I know you should plant these consecutively for a longer cropping period but is there any way to extend the cropping period of the ones cropping now? eg cutting back?

[Trillium]

No, not really. It's the heat that gets them as they're a cool weather crop. All you can do is keep picking them young and keep them watered. This should give you a few extra weeks but not much more. Only thing to do is in later August, start up more seeds for fall cropping.
