It's middle July and you are wondering which crops to plant. You may have heard about brussels sprouts, but not many people know that these sprouts can be planted as early as July. Either buy seedlings or pre-start them. They can all be harvested simultaneously. Broccoli is another good crop to plant in July, and you can choose from baby, calabrese, and early purple broccoli. These vegetables can be grown from seeds or pre-started and will yield a harvest in the fall, regardless of whether you start them from seeds.
It's still possible to plant vegetables like tomatoes and spinach, which is why you shouldn't put off starting your garden. Although hotter temperatures can slow the growth of many plants, you still have the option to harvest vegetables from your garden at any time. These crops are possible to be harvested later in summer, as well as into autumn and winter. Plant them in July so they are still fresh.
Cucumbers can also be planted as early as July and harvested as late as September. Squash, zucchini and other vegetables can be planted as early as June. They will continue to grow until they are destroyed by frost. If you didn't plant in the spring, now is a good time to do so. Although they don't require much water, they do need to be watered regularly. Planting seeds in July is an option if you don’t have the time.
Cauliflower is another crop to plant in July, but you need to plant them in the shade during the hottest part of the day. You should plant the seeds every one-and-a-half feet. Once they sprout, you will need to keep them moist. It's a warm season for many plants but it's also colder than the rest of the year so you need to be careful with what you plant.
While there are a few crops to plant in July, they all should be cold-weather-tolerant. Plant vegetables in July if your climate is too cold. These crops will require more water and won't be able to withstand the heat. But, it is important to plant these crops in cooler areas. If you're growing cold-weather-loving vegetables, you can also choose broccoli.
You can plant multiple vegetables in the summer. Because they can be harvested at various stages of the year, beets are an excellent choice for your summer garden. If you want to plant your veggies earlier, then be sure to choose varieties resistant to downy mildew. This will allow your plants to be more productive and enable you to get more produce in the fall. You can also grow okra, carrots and beets in July.
