July offers gardeners ideal conditions for planting many ornamental and edible plants. The summer days are warm and long, making it a very productive time for sowing, as seeds will germinate and grow quickly. Whether you aspire to grow flowers, vegetables, herbs, or all three, we look at what to plant in July.
The truth is, there is a fantastic range of plants to sow that can provide blooms or crops for a very long period of time. From fast annuals for late summer to perennials for spring blooms. And speedy crops for quick harvests to hardier winter crops for food during the colder months. The one task you’ll need to remember this month is to water any sowings deeply after planting to stop the soil drying out.
