Some gardeners, after harvesting early cabbage, green beans, radishes and lettuce, do not plant anything in the vacant beds. But in vain. In this place you can grow many vegetable crops that have time to grow before autumn. It is necessary to use beds especially carefully and rationally if the garden is small. Therefore, after harvesting early vegetables, the beds should not be abandoned, but dug up, fertilized and sowed.
In July, you can sow nigella onions for greens, winter radishes, for storage and use in winter, parsley, both leaf and root, radishes, cauliflower, beets, spinach, dill, lettuce and much more. All vegetables sown in July will have time to sprout and grow in your garden if they are sown on time, while most gardeners will no longer have such fresh and green, young vegetables.
During night frosts in September, late summer plantings can be covered with film at night and opened in the morning.
Salad vegetables can be sown all season long. The choice of salads is great: lettuce , watercress , arugula ... Usually it is with them that spring sowing begins, because most of them are cold-resistant, the seeds germinate already at 6-8 C, and the seedlings tolerate light frosts. And after the first April sowings, their seeds are sown again every two weeks in order to always have tender, fresh greens. You can harvest at any stage, you’ll just get a little more or a little less greenery. For example, the maximum amount of watercress greens is obtained when sowing in August.
Keep in mind that among the many modern varieties of salads there are so-called spring, summer and autumn ones. Summer and autumn varieties are resistant to July heat and the formation of flowering shoots. When sowing in summer, it is important to sow the seeds in well-moistened soil, and provide watering if the weather is dry. With a lack of moisture, many salads become coarse and begin to taste bitter.
Lovers dill They also sow it in a “conveyor” way from early spring and then every 10-15 days until autumn. It works best on well-loosened fertile soils with good lighting. Experts advise adding lettuce seeds (1%) to dill seeds as a lighthouse crop. This allows you to start weeding and loosening even before germination. Dill shoots without preliminary seed preparation appear 13-18 days after sowing, then the plants develop very quickly. If the seeds are soaked in water for 2-3 days before sowing, changing it several times a day, seedlings will appear faster. It’s even better to soak the seeds in hot water (no more than 50 C) for twenty minutes before soaking. This will help flush out substances that prevent germination. Keep in mind that with a lack of moisture, dill leaves, like lettuce, become smaller and coarser.
Almost all the time when the ground is not covered with snow, you can sow and spinach . This vitamin-rich plant is used in the garden both as a precursor to heat-loving crops, and as a repeat crop after green ones, and as a sealant - spinach is compatible with almost all garden plants. From March to July, spinach is sown for the use of mature leaves, until mid-August - for the sake of young ones. Sowing is carried out at intervals of 20–30 days. For winter sowing, varieties that are resistant to stemming are selected. Their seeds are sown from late July to mid-August so that the plants have time to form a small rosette of leaves before frost.
Until July 10-15, the “fairytale” root crop is sown in central Russia - turnips . True, now this once most important vegetable in Rus' enjoys more love in the rest of the world than in our country. Turnips are especially popular in Asia. There, in addition to the traditional yellow turnip for us, there are varieties with white, green, pink, red and purple skin and white or yellow pulp (the yellower the pulp, the more carotene). In addition, there are varieties of salad turnip (kabu) and leaf turnip (kabuna or komatsuna). The first has edible “both tops and roots” - both leaves and roots with a milder taste than vegetable turnips. The second one has only leaves. Turnip varieties also differ in terms of ripening time: early - 45–60 days from germination to technical ripeness, medium - from 60 to 90, late - more than 90 days. For summer consumption, turnips are sown in early spring, as soon as the soil dries out. And for winter - in the middle zone from the end of June to July 10-15. For the winter, it is better to store turnips from summer sowing. In dry, hot summers with a lack of moisture, it grows small, dry, and bitter: turnips tolerate heat worse than cold weather.
By the way, many root crops tolerate winter storage better when sown late.
In July, you can also sow some other plants that are not usually perceived as crops that can produce several harvests per year. For example, beets they sow early and harvest in September, and at the same time they are not always happy with the harvest. Practitioners believe that table beets can be planted three times per season. In spring - for summer consumption; in June - to obtain large root crops intended for winter storage, and in July to have young beets in the fall. Keep in mind that beets grow quickly in narrow beds, and growing through seedlings shortens the ripening time of root crops.
At the beginning of July, you can also sow the bush again. beans early ripe varieties, if you want to get not the beans themselves, but young green pods as a harvest. Even if the weather prevents you from getting a good harvest of tender pods, beans, like other legumes, are an excellent green manure.
In mid-summer you can also plant cabbage. For example, seedlings of early varieties of white cabbage. If mid-season and late-season varieties grow in the garden, this makes no more sense. But if something suddenly goes wrong with late cabbage, you can plant summer seedlings. For early ripening cabbage of salad taste and quality, 50-55 days will be enough.
At the beginning of July they are usually planted a second time and broccoli . When broccoli begins to form inflorescences, first cut off the central “head”, then cut off the side shoots. However, it is not possible to obtain a full harvest indefinitely. Therefore, broccoli is usually planted twice - in the spring and at the very beginning of July. Moreover, it will successfully withstand autumn frosts and will bear fruit until mid-autumn.
In midsummer they sow and oriental cabbages . There are several varieties of oriental cabbage: Chinese cabbage, which does not form a head, Beijing cabbage (oval and round cabbage heads) and half-head cabbage. They all have a relatively short growing season. For early varieties it is 50–60 days, which allows you to get two harvests in one season. But when growing Chinese and Chinese cabbage, you need to take into account its sensitivity to daylight hours. If the day is short - 12-14 hours, then the leaves grow and the head sets. With longer illumination - 16-18 hours - the irreversible formation of the peduncle begins and, as a result, the harvest is completely lost. Therefore, in central Russia, the first sowing is done the earlier, the better (that is, only through seedlings). But cabbage for the second harvest can be sown directly into the ground, but not earlier than mid-summer - July 15.
It will not be possible to plant tomatoes a second time, you can simply plant them a little later in early June, then in late autumn you can get a harvest of ripe tomatoes, but if there are green ones left, they can also be used, for example, pickled or pickled in pieces.
But the second harvest of cucumbers, if sown in early or mid-July, can be obtained in a month, they will just be in August and will last until frost, you will get excellent fresh cucumbers for salad, and late cucumbers are suitable for pickling. The peculiarity of growing cucumbers planted in mid-summer is that it is better to tie up their vines and point them upward, then there will be less chance cucumbers get sick from morning dew and temperature changes at the end of summer.
Planted in midsummer parsley And leek will delight you with greenery at the end of the season. And next spring they will continue to grow, emerging earlier than other crops.
July is an excellent time to sow early ripening crops. Vegetables planted in spring will be ready for harvest by July - August. At the same time, it is too early to put the first harvest in the cellar; the conditions are not appropriate - it is too hot. Such vegetables can be canned. But for storage it is better to select vegetables from a late harvest or from the second turn. So, what vegetables and green crops can be planted in July?
First of all, in July you can sow greens:
- borage (borage)
To ensure that the plant does not bloom, but only produces and develops leaves, it is advisable to choose a place in partial shade. Tender young leaves can be cut a month after germination, and can be collected in several stages.
- dill
Can be sown every 15 - 20 days in summer. Dill seeds germinate rather slowly, so it is better to soak them before sowing. To prepare dill for the winter, you need to dry it in the shade, but it will only partially lose its beneficial properties. Dill seeds can be harvested as they ripen; the seeds can be stored for about 1 year.
- salad
A record holder for ripening, greens will appear in just a month, and watercress can be harvested in two weeks. The latter is very unpretentious - it will produce crops even in sand or on felt! The success of lettuce growth is moisture; with good watering, the lettuce rosette will be lush. Arugula - will sprout on the fifth day and if the soil is sufficiently nutritious and well moistened, then the leaves will be tender and juicy.
- parsley
It does not germinate quickly, so if you need to get a harvest of root crops, you should sow it before May, and if you want to cut leaves, then parsley can be sown in July. In the July case, the parsley root will go “before winter” and produce a harvest next year.
- leek
For quick germination, it is better to germinate the seeds: take the seeds, place them on a cloth moistened with water, and leave them in a warm place. After 2 - 3 days, lightly dry the seeds and sow. For better root and stem growth, we trim the leaves every two weeks. Onions will please you at the end of the season, and next year at the beginning of summer!
You can also plant vegetables on the second turn:
- radish
can be sown in July and later. There will be enough light for the development of radishes, and the root crops will grow juicy. The most important thing is the presence of nitrogen in the soil! By sowing radishes, you can fill the area of land vacated after harvesting early potatoes. We will harvest in October. This crop is well stored, and sowing in July reduces the risk of damage by cruciferous flea beetle and other pests.
- legumes: peas, beans and beans
They ripen quickly. These are cold-resistant crops. Before sowing, soak the seeds for 10 - 12 hours and water the bed well. Peas and green beans can be planted along the fence. It is better to choose peas from the sugar group. Peas enrich the soil in which they grow. When sowing legumes, we get not the “beans” themselves as a harvest, but young green pods.
- perennial crops (sorrel, rhubarb)
These crops can be sown in the place where potatoes and early cucumbers grew. Before the onset of frost, these perennial plants will have time to form a rosette of leaves, and closer to winter, the roots should be mulched with peat or compost 5 - 7 cm. Sorrel tolerates frost. Shoots will appear already on the 10th day, and at high temperatures and high soil humidity, sorrel develops a large leaf rosette; it can be sown even in the fall, before winter. Rhubarb seeds are sown and grown like sorrel, but it is recommended that the harvest be carried out in the second year after planting.
July is a good time for sowing green manure, which enriches the soil. Read more about green manure.
USEFUL TIPS:
Choose only early ripening hybrids and varieties;
Before sowing, remove debris and weeds from the site, dig and water until the soil is saturated, add fertilizer if necessary;
Before sowing, germinate the seeds, only then sow them in well-watered furrows;
July is the time not only for re-sowing, but also for harvesting a second harvest.
For practical gardeners, the planting area is never empty; many harvest a variety of crops of early ripening varieties right up to frost. By mid-summer, some of the beds are usually empty, and vegetable growers choose what can be planted in their garden in July with maximum benefit.
Herbs
Fresh greens are always relevant, but they are tasty and tender until a certain time, then the leaves become coarse and lose their nutritional value. However, this does not mean that you will be able to enjoy salads only until the second half of July: herbs can be planted at the dacha in several stages.
The simplest and most unpretentious option is dill. It is sown not only in July, but also every 10-15 days throughout the season. In order for seedlings to appear faster, the seeds need to be kept in warm water for about an hour (about 50°C). Sowing is done in open fertile soil. Dill will grow more intensively if you add 10 liters of compost with a tablespoon of nitrophoska per 1 m2 of land.
Watercress is also suitable for July planting - an extremely healthy green with an original taste. It emerges within 1-2 weeks after sowing and grows very quickly. Other types of lettuces will also develop at an accelerated pace in July if the soil is kept moist all the time. This will provide the leaves with tenderness and elasticity.
The varieties most suitable for the second half of summer:
- Odessa curlytail;
- Patrician;
- Buffoon.
Lettuce rows should not be allowed to thicken - the plants will stretch out, throw out flower stalks instead of leaves, and the lower tier will begin to rot.
Popular arugula, when sown in open ground in July, sprouts in 5-6 days, and the first harvest of this greenery can be harvested in just a couple of weeks. A favorable factor is that in the second half of summer the cruciferous flea beetle is less active, which usually seriously spoils the presentation of the leaves. When planting arugula in the second half of summer, there is a chance to get fresh, tender greens without hassle or processing.
Spinach is an infrequent guest in the traditional garden. However, this healthy and unpretentious vegetable is very good in salads, and is also suitable for pies fillings and stewing. If you plant it in open ground in July with seeds soaked in advance for a couple of days, then after 3 weeks the young leaves can be plucked. The soil under crops and seedlings must be kept moist.
Roots
Some vegetables planted in July not only have time to ripen before frost, but are also stored well. A prominent representative of this group is the turnip. Early varieties take 45-60 days to reach technical ripeness. If you sow turnips in the garden before the 10th-15th, then in the fall you can harvest a fresh harvest, suitable for long-term storage.
Beetroot also has early ripening varieties, but vegetable growers in areas with an unstable climate prefer to sow its seeds in a greenhouse around mid-June, “under the legs” of tomatoes or peppers, and in July the seedlings can be planted in open ground. For accelerated ripening, it is preferable to place beets in narrow beds, well heated and ventilated.
Some gardeners sow early varieties of carrots in early July, having time to collect the ripe root crops before winter. Moreover, such a harvest is stored even better than a batch of spring sowing. In order for seedlings to appear faster, it is first necessary to wash off the esters that interfere with germination from the seeds. To do this, just keep them in warm water, then rinse. The carrot fly's flight in mid-July stops until August, so the sprouts have time to get stronger.
Fresh crispy radishes are an indispensable component of delicious summer salads, but it is worth paying special attention to this vegetable, since many people, even when sowing in spring, bolt their plants without forming fruits.
There are several nuances, if taken into account, you can get tasty radishes regardless of whether they are planted in the spring or in July.
- You should not choose a sunny place for sowing. Radishes need short daylight hours to form roots (August is good).
- The culture prefers neutral or slightly acidic soil, sufficient moisture, but not overwatering.
- Radishes do not tolerate fresh organic matter, but love potassium, so before sowing, you can add this additive to the ground in the form of sulfate.
Radish varieties with a white tip should not be kept in the soil, otherwise the fruit will be loose, with voids.
In addition to traditional varieties of radish, there is a large original variety - daikon. Outwardly, it resembles an elongated radish. The fruits of summer sowing will be well stored and will not lose their juiciness until next spring.
If you plant radishes in open ground in July, they are less susceptible to attacks by cutworms and cruciferous flea beetles. But in the case when the misfortune could not be avoided, pollination of the leaves with ash mixed with celandine powder, dry ground mustard, or spraying with infusion of onion and garlic peels will help.
In July you can also sow and. It will have time to fill up before frost. It is important to maintain soil moisture and also loosen it periodically to prevent crust formation.
Cabbage
Early ripening varieties of white cabbage, as well as broccoli, are suitable for planting in mid-summer. The latter can withstand even the initial autumn frosts. Within 50-55 days after sowing, in relatively warm August, the crop ripens completely.
Types of cabbage that are still untraditional for vegetable gardens are gaining increasing popularity and can also be planted in July:
- Chinese;
- Beijing;
- half-headed.
Planting these varieties of cabbage, like radishes, should not be done in a sunny place, since daylight hours of 16-18 hours inevitably turn on the reproductive instinct of these plants - the formation of a peduncle. The optimal time for sowing in open ground for the second harvest is July 15-18.
Many intentionally plant it only in July, since during this period it practically does not bolt and forms strong, pronounced heads of cabbage.
Legumes
Green beans are a very popular component of a healthy diet, often found in salads, side dishes and as an independent dish. This crop can be planted in the garden in July, so that the first harvest can be harvested in about a month.
Some vegetable growers sow bush beans not in open ground, but in greenhouses, so that after harvesting cucumbers or tomatoes they ripen quietly.
Perennials
In July, it’s time to take care of those crops that will be the first to enjoy harvest next spring. In the summer, you can plant some varieties of onions (, fragrant) at the dacha. Before autumn frosts, these plants will get stronger and form roots. Sowing is done in a place that is not flooded in the spring, and in the winter it is worth pouring 5-6 cm of mulch on top to protect against freezing.
In every garden there is a corner for mint of various varieties, which is an excellent addition to tea, soothes and heals, and also repels a lot of pests from the beds. The easiest way to plant it is with pieces of rhizomes, but you can also try with seeds. The second method is more difficult, but in July weather it is quite feasible.
Sowing mint in the ground is carried out as follows.
- The seeds are laid out on soft, damp soil (they are very small), sprinkled with fine mulch in half with the soil in a layer of about 5 mm.
- The sowing area is covered with film, but it should not be placed directly on the soil. You can stick blunt, low pegs in the center of the ridge so that there is a small space between the “roof” and the ground.
- When the seedlings appear and get stronger, they can be planted.
Melissa also reproduces in the same way. In the spring, young shoots will begin to appear from the overgrown rhizomes at some distance from each other.
Flowers
In July, you can plant popular two-year-old flowers in your dacha. In the spring, there is usually neither time nor space on the windowsills for their seedlings, since there is a lot of hassle with tomatoes and peppers. Flower seeds are sown directly into open ground, and it is important to moisten and mulch the soil well.
The following species are suitable for summer planting in July.
- Viola (pansy) of various varieties. Sowing can be done in any illuminated free space. Before autumn, a rosette of leaves and buds will form. And in the spring, the bushes are seated in their places: in flower beds, in flowerpots or along borders.
- Turkish cloves. If wintering is successful, next year it will delight with flowering from spring to autumn.
- Bell. In the first year, it does not so much increase green mass as form a rhizome, from which powerful shoots will actively emerge in the spring.
- Daisies. Over the rest of the season, they manage to grow and even bloom, and next year they will fully decorate the country landscape.
All these flowers are unpretentious, but for the winter it is better to cover the soil with a layer of mulch: you can cover it with pine needles. This will not only protect against freezing, but also protect against the development of fungus, since pine needles contain phytoncides.
The climate in most regions is becoming more and more unpredictable every year, so planting something in open ground in the garden in July is possible only under normal weather conditions, and not against the backdrop of abnormal cold or prolonged rains. Such conditions make even greenhouse cultivation problematic due to high humidity and low temperatures.
If the weather corresponds to the climatic norm, then planting a number of crops in the ground in July is quite possible and will even be crowned with success in the form of a good harvest before the long winter. You just need to choose the right early ripening varieties so that the plant reaches its full potential before frost.
Want to eat vegetables and herbs from your garden until the end of summer? Sow what can be sown at this time in the middle of the empty space. And in July, some plants are sown for next year’s harvest.
Among the numerous modern varieties of salads there are so-called spring, summer and autumn.
Summer and autumn varieties are resistant to July heat and the formation of flowering shoots. When sowing in summer, it is important to sow the seeds in well-moistened soil and limit watering if the weather is dry. With a lack of moisture, many salads become coarse and begin to taste bitter.
This vitamin-rich plant is used in the garden both as a precursor to heat-loving crops, and as a repeat crop after green ones, and as a sealant - spinach is compatible with almost all garden plants.
From March to July, spinach is sown for the use of mature leaves, until mid-August - for the sake of young ones.
Sowing is carried out at intervals of 20-30 days. For winter sowing, varieties that are resistant to stemming are selected. Their seeds are sown from late July to mid-August so that the plants have time to form a small rosette of leaves before frost.
Until July 10-15, the “fairytale” root crop - turnips - is sown in central Russia. True, now this once most important vegetable in Rus' enjoys more love in the rest of the world than in our country.
Turnips are especially popular in Asia. There, in addition to the traditional yellow turnip for us, there are varieties with white, green, pink, red and purple skin and white or yellow pulp (the yellower the pulp, the more carotene).
In addition, there are varieties of salad turnip (kabu) and leaf turnip (kabuna or komatsuna). The first has edible “both tops and roots” - both leaves and roots with a milder taste than vegetable turnips. The second one has only leaves.
Turnip varieties also differ in terms of ripening time: early - 45-60 days from germination to technical ripeness, medium - from 60 to 90, late - more than 90 days.
For summer consumption, turnips are sown in early spring, as soon as the soil dries out. And for winter - in the middle zone from the end of June to July 10-15.
For the winter, it is better to store turnips from summer sowing. In dry, hot summers with a lack of moisture, it grows small, dry, and bitter: turnips tolerate heat worse than cold weather.
By the way, many root crops tolerate winter storage better when sown late.
In July, you can also sow some other plants that are not usually perceived as crops that can produce several harvests per year.
If mid-season and late-season varieties grow in the garden, this makes no more sense.
But if something suddenly goes wrong with late cabbage, you can plant summer seedlings. For early ripening cabbage of salad taste and quality, 50-55 days will be enough.
At the beginning of July they are usually planted a second time and.
When broccoli begins to form inflorescences, first cut off the central “head”, then cut off the side shoots.
However, it is not possible to obtain a full harvest indefinitely. Therefore, broccoli is usually planted twice - in the spring and at the very beginning of July.
Moreover, it will successfully withstand autumn frosts and will bear fruit until mid-autumn.
July is the middle of summer, time for weeding, watering and harvesting. In the vacated beds, you can grow a second crop of vegetables and herbs, laying the foundation for a future garden and a magnificent flower garden.
What to plant in the garden beds in July
On the vacated beds, you can always plant green manure (plants that prevent weeds from growing, and then are embedded in the soil in order to improve its structure and fertilize). But you may want to increase the return on your 5-6 acre garden and harvest a second harvest on these soils. When re-sowing, you should follow the rules of crop rotation and select plants belonging to different species that do not have common diseases and pests with their predecessors.
First of all, you should plant greens:
- dill;
- bow on feather;
- spinach;
- salad;
- arugula;
- basil;
- coriander (cilantro).
Fresh herbs will always be on your table, they will grow until frost, and the excess can be frozen, pickled or dried, preparing for the winter.
Photo gallery: greens for planting in July
Dill planted in summer will be more luxuriant than in spring. Lettuce varieties that do not become coarse for a long time are suitable for summer planting. Arugula is still perceived by many as a weed. Basil has green leaves, and some varieties have purple leaves. Vegetable coriander (cilantro) produces a lot of greenery.
Now about vegetable crops, planting which in July will provide you with fresh vegetables until mid-autumn:
- white cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli, kohlrabi, Beijing cabbage;
- radishes, daikon;
- radish;
- beet.
It is necessary to choose varieties of vegetables with a short ripening period, growing in conditions of long daylight hours and elevated temperatures.
For summer planting, I like Chinese cabbage of the hybrid varieties Kudesnitsa F1, Richie F1 and Nika F1, which do not form flower stalks during long daylight hours. Suitable for planting in July are Koza dereza cauliflower, Limba broccoli and Monaco F1. I would like to highlight the large-fruited long-day radish varieties Duro and Erfurt Giant, which can be grown throughout the summer, and the super-early high-yielding daikon variety Summer Cross.
Photo gallery: vegetables for planting in July
Broccoli of the Monaco variety is suitable for planting in two rotations Cauliflower Goat-dereza produces very dense white heads Daikon Summer Cross produces smooth, even roots up to 50 cm long 
Duro radish is one of the largest-fruited varieties
Vegetables collected in the fall have another advantage - they store well.
What to plant in the July garden
July is the best time for green cuttings. Many trees and shrubs can be propagated in this simple and effective way. The cuttings are cut with a sharp knife 8–12 cm long with 2–3 internodes, while the lower cut is made oblique at an angle of 45° 1 cm below the bud, and the upper cut is made straight, immediately above the last bud. The lower leaves are removed, and the upper ones are partially trimmed to reduce moisture evaporation.
The lower leaves of the cutting are removed, and the upper ones are cut off by two thirds
Propagated by cuttings in July:
- lemongrass;
- actinidia;
- boxwood;
- gooseberry;
- clematis;
- roses.
Before planting, the lower cut of the cutting is treated with a root-forming preparation, for example, Kornevin. The cutting is planted obliquely to a depth of 1.5–2 cm to the top bud and covered with film, glass jar or PET bottle. Now the future seedling needs a humidity of 80–90% and a temperature of 20–26 degrees Celsius. Plantings should be shaded, ventilated periodically, and after 3 weeks begin to harden.
Video: green cuttings
In July you can already start planting strawberries and wild strawberries. Suitable propagation methods:
- dividing the bush;
- mustaches or rosettes.

What flowers are the best times to plant in July?
In July there is also work in the flower garden. Good time for cuttings:
- clematis,
- phlox,
- carnations,
- sedums,
- gypsophila,
- made you look younger
- hydrangeas,
This method of propagating roses is the cheapest. The advantage will be that our varietal rose will be on its own roots. This will make it adapted to local conditions and more durable. It is more difficult to grow remontant and hybrid tea roses through green cuttings, especially varieties with yellow and dark red flowers.
Video: rose propagation using green cuttings
Many perennials that bloom early in the season can be propagated in July by dividing the bushes. In this way you can plant:
- irises,
- herbaceous peonies,
- Heuchera,
- primrose,
- violets,
- cuffs,
- geraniums,
- hosts,
- lilies of the valley,
- sedums,
- chrysanthemums,
- dicenters.
Some of these plants (lilies of the valley, primroses, sedums, bearded irises and perennial chrysanthemums) can be divided even during the flowering period.
Photo gallery: propagation of flowers by dividing a bush
To separate part of the bush, the dug peony is placed in a basin of water. 
The leaves of iris divisions are cut off before planting, leaving 10–15 cm. The hosta is divided very carefully, trying not to damage the roots.
In mid-summer you need to plant some bulbs too. The amazing colchicum (autumn colchicum), which blooms in the fall until frost, is propagated by daughter bulbs in July. Beginning in July, bulbs of Galanthus and Chionodoxa, which bloom in early spring, are also planted.
Photo gallery: bulbs that are planted in July
Chionadoxa is a frost-resistant plant that blooms in early spring. Cohikum is not only a beautiful and medicinal, but also a poisonous plant. Galanthus flowers are among the first to appear from under the snow.
There are also flowers that need to be planted with seeds in July: these are biennials that will bloom only next year, but before the onset of cold weather they will be able to grow, get stronger and prepare for winter. This way you can reproduce:
- viola (pansy);
- lunaria;
- matthiola bicornuum (night violet);
- mallow;
- daisy;
- Turkish cloves;
- forget-me-not;
- Evening primrose.
With any method of planting in July, one must not forget that this time is the hottest and driest. Therefore, all planting work is carried out in the morning or evening, if possible on cloudy days, and new plantings must be regularly watered, shaded, and protected from diseases and pests.
By planting greens, vegetables, shrubs, trees and flowers in July, you will diversify your table and make a contribution to the future of the garden and flower garden, you will be able to make your dacha even richer and more beautiful.
