Gardening in July: Plants to Add During the Middle of the Summer
Now that the hottest summer days are upon us, you may think that it's time to put away your gardening gloves and trowel. Not really! While your peas plateau and lettuce bolts in the heat of July, there are many heat-loving or heat-resistant crops that you can plant in midsummer for a fruitful bounty come fall. We're happy to provide this list of vegetables that are great to start planting in July.
- Cucumbers
Cucumbers are a classic summer vegetable perfect for pickling, tossing in salads, or eating straight off the vine. These plants are fast-growers and most varieties can be harvested in just 52 days. This gives you enough time to get your harvest before your first frost. Growing cucumbers on a trellis helps keep leaf spots at bay, provides good air circulation, allows the plants to take up less room in your garden, and makes harvesting a snap. - Beans
It's not too late for a first or second crop of beans. They love warm weather and have a surprisingly short growing time. Seeds will germinate quickly and require between 40 and 60 days to maturity. Beans are classified as either pole or bush varieties. Bush beans are self-supporting, while pole beans require some type of support structures, like a net, climbing frame, or trellis. Choose pole varieties for a long season of steady production and bush beans for a quick crop.
