It's July middle, and you may be wondering what crops to plant. You might have heard of brussel sprouts. However, you may not know that they can be planted as soon as July. The sprouts can be purchased pre-started or from seeds. All can be harvested together. Broccoli can also be planted in July. You have three options: baby, calabrese and early-purple varieties. These vegetables are good for mid-summer. You can plant them from seeds, or pre-started plants.
It's still a good time to plant tomatoes and spinach. Even though hotter temperatures can slow down plant growth, you can still harvest vegetables from the garden at this time of the year. These crops can be harvested late in the season, or even into the winter. They can still be harvested fresh if planted in July.
Cucumbers may be planted as early July as well as harvested in late September. You can plant squash and zucchini in June. They will continue producing until the frost kills them. For those who didn't get around to planting in the spring, this is an excellent time to start. They require little watering, but they need constant watering to stay healthy.

Cauliflower can also be planted in July. However, you should plant them in shade during the hottest parts of the day. Plant the seeds at a distance of one and a quarter feet. Keep them moist until they sprout. Although this is a good time to plant many plants, it's also a colder month than other months. Therefore, you should be careful about what you plant.
While there are a few crops to plant in July, they all should be cold-weather-tolerant. If you have a very cold climate, it is worth considering planting vegetables in July. These crops will require more water and won't be able to withstand the heat. However, in many areas, the crops should be planted in the coolest part of the summer. You can also grow broccoli if you are growing cold-weather vegetables.

In July, you can also grow carrots, beets and okra.
FAQ
What vegetables do you recommend growing together?
Because they are both fond of similar soil conditions and temperatures, it is easy to grow peppers and tomatoes together. They are a good match since peppers need colder temperatures to produce their best flavor. You can try planting them together by starting seeds indoors six weeks before transplanting them outdoors. Once the weather warms up, transplant the tomato and pepper plants outdoors.
How many hours of light does a plant need?
It all depends on what kind of plant you have. Some plants need 12 hours per day of direct sunlight. Others prefer 8 hours in indirect sunlight. The majority of vegetables require 10 hours of direct sunshine per 24 hour period.
Do I need special equipment to grow vegetables in my garden?
Not really. All you need to do is use a shovel, trowels, watering containers, and maybe even a rake.
