I want to do exactly as explained here, the accepted answer does for some reason not work for me.

library("ggplot2")

tmp <- data.frame(x=rep(seq(as.Date(0, origin="1970-01-01"),
                            length=36, by="1 month"), 2),
                  y=rnorm(72),
                  category=gl(2,36))

p <- ggplot(tmp, aes(x, y, colour=category)) +
     geom_line() +
     geom_vline(aes(xintercept=as.numeric(x[c(13, 24)])),
                linetype=4, colour="black")
print(p)

I exchanged layers(geom="line") with geom_line() to get only the plot working. However, when adding vlines I get this error:

Error: Aesthetics must be either length 1 or the same as the data (72):  xintercept
10: stop("Aesthetics must be either length 1 or the same as the data (", 
    n, "): ", paste(names(!good), collapse = ", "), call. = FALSE)
9: check_aesthetics(evaled, n)
8: f(..., self = self)
7: l$compute_aesthetics(d, plot)
6: f(l = layers[[i]], d = data[[i]])
5: by_layer(function(l, d) l$compute_aesthetics(d, plot))
4: ggplot_build(x)
3: print.ggplot(p)
2: print(p)
1: print(p)

the following worked for me:

ggplot(tmp,aes(x, y, colour=category)) +
geom_line() +
geom_vline(data=tmp[c(13,26),],aes(xintercept=as.numeric(x)))
