July is mid -summer, when most gardeners are already enjoying the harvest, but that doesn’t mean it’s too late to sow new vegetables. Properly selected cultures can still be grown not only for leafy but also for autumn use. So if you are considering what kind of vegetables to sow in July, we have useful tips for you.
What vegetables to sow in July for a late harvest?
Although July is no longer the most popular time for sowing, this is a great time for fast -growing cultures. One of the most popular vegetables that can be sown in July is radish, salad, dill, spinach, mangolds, rucola. These cultures quickly germinate and ripen in just 30-40 days, making it perfect for late harvest.
If you have a loose bed after early vegetables, it is worth using it – you will certainly not run out of fresh greens in the fall. It is also possible to sow winter leeks or winter onions – they will germinate in winter soil and germinate in spring.
Don’t forget the root vegetables too
When considering what vegetables to sow in July, it is worth considering the root vegetables. Although it is too late for potatoes or carrots, beetroot (especially young leaves), reptiles or winter radish can be sown. They will grow up until autumn and will be a great addition to the autumn cuisine.
It is also possible to try late carrots if the soil is sufficiently humid in early July and the weather is not too dry.
Useful tips for sowing in July
It is important to take care of moisture for the sowing results – in July, the soil dries quickly, so regular watering is required. It is also worth mulching the beds to maintain a moisture balance.
When choosing seeds, look for early or fast -growing varieties – they are more suitable for short -term daily conditions.
The key is not to go beyond the early August, because then the lack of light and the cooler weather will stop growth. So July is the last serious chance for the renovation of the garden.
