In this video, I share 10 awesome veggies you should plant in July right now! July brings the hottest weather of the year, but don't be fooled: now is when seed starting season ramps back up! In addition to sowing new summer garden crops to replace tired, old plants, now is the time to start a fall garden, and crops we sow in July will reward us with big harvests in pleasant fall weather.
Don't give up planting seeds and keeping up with your vegetable garden in the summer heat. A little work now will reap big rewards in perfect fall gardening weather!

I must say your ability to disseminate so much info on gardening in a simple, user friendly way is delightful. I've been gardening for years in Virginia and was undisciplined and wayward in my ways. Now, I follow your advice and my garden is far more productive, beautiful and satisfying. I've been more of a flower gardener than a vegetable/fruit gardener so I know the importance of beneficial insects. Let me encourage those in hot climates to plant crepe myrtle trees, even one, they bloom midsummer and the bees and other "good" insects love them. I have several in my yard and they are full of bees. Again, thanks for doing what you do and helping all of us to succeed.

Ok so I’m a knife guy with a knife channel… but I have a science background and I’ve always grown houseplants and had soil bottom planted fish tanks. I recently started several vegetable raised beds (admittedly started way late for my area, in May… but shadecloths!!!) With that said, this is easily one of my favorite channels! I’m in NW FL (9a) and these videos are great because I just wait a few weeks and then I’m right on time! Keep up the great work, my friend! Love and appreciate what you do👊🏻

I just love love love all your videos! I am in Burlington, NC! Howdy neighbor. I comment on your videos occasionally. I am the 75 year old widow lady who loves to garden in grow bags and buckets. I am so glad I saw your video about the sun screen. I bought a 90% and put it about 9 feet high over my tomatoes and cukes. I can’t believe what a difference it made for my plants! I have been eating Sun Sugarand Sweet 100 cherries like crazy. But, my heirloom tomatoes are going strong now. I have 32 tomato plants that are all indeterminate, except for 3 San Marzanos. I am getting ready to start new determinate tomatoes right away. I have over 250 plants in containers that I grew from seed by using the Winter Sowing method with gallon jugs. No heat lamps needed. I got tons of transplants in my gallon jugs that stayed out all winter then germinated in the spring. .

The butternut squash, ugh, SO many leaf footed bugs! Thanks for explaining about green beans, they are a failed experiment. Delighted with the option of tearing down “Phase 1” summer veg and moving directly into Phase 2. My melons & sweet potatoes look great this season! You’ve provided inspiration in this video. You granted me “Do Over” game time! 🤣🤣 Hey - I got 4.5” of rain last night south of Raleigh. ❤ I’m going to click into your Amazon store so you get credit - my dog needs that cooling mat. 👍🏻

Re: Tomatoes. On January 5 of this year, I found two ripe red tomatoes behind my raised bed, up against my house. I believe they were Better Boy (about 2.5"). And when I went to plant in the spring, a volunteer was already pushing its way out to take over most of my raised bed. Probably a Better Boy.

I haven't grown much food in quite a few years because I worked at an organic farm and I saw the incredible challenge in north central FL. Well this year I decided to go for it after being so inspired by your channel. It was doing quite well and then after a few nites the deer nearly ate my entire garden. They started with eating all the loquat leaves they could reach, and lots of other vegetation and went on to my beans and cokes and tomato plants. They left the tomatoes but ate all the leaves they could reach. Geez ... I live rural so heavy wild animal population, but for some reason even my organic farm I used to work at said the deer were insatiable this year. I love your delivery of very practical, inspiring and helpful information. You are a pro at the garden and at your channel.

Depends where you live I suppose but there are TONS of native forbs that bloom in July and August to attract beneficial insects. In fact, the prairie natives are most prolific in the hottest months. Purple coneflower, native perennial sunflowers, asters, partridge pea (a bee magnet), and spotted beebalm (a predatory wasp magnet).

I have 3 tomatoes ready to transplant, and 6 in the garden spots flowering. Would love the longer gardening in NC, but I would probably be outside a lot less or I would melt. LOL Love your videos. My Mom just created her own composter based on your 32 gallon garbage can method, she's excited too.

I have too grow Indetermine tomatos since we can't eat it fast enough. Once it turned Orange I harvested and placed on our kitchen counter to super ripped and make Green Chile( Mexcian dish 😋) it so good. Or I eat it with salt it's sweet when super ripped. Once we finished the ripped ones we harvest another batch. 2 years we bought store tomatos during the summer. My corns is 2 inches now my second batch. The first batch still no corn just ears and sliks. I did what you said to have kernels didn't work 🙁

I'm so glad I found your channel. I watch with a notebook so I can write down all of your tips and my garden has benefited from your Amazon store! I haven't heard you talk about crop rotation. I know it's important not to plant new plants in the same location as the previous one and I'm figuring that planting squash in a bed that had the beetles would be a killer for the new plants. My beds are still full and I only have a small amount of space where I harvested my cauliflower and shortly my squash will be gone. Any suggestions for crop rotation? Thanks soooo much Anthony. You have made me love my garden this year!
@TheMillennialGardener
@TheMillennialGardener 2 күн бұрын
Crop rotation is one of my weaknesses, and it's something I am not great at. The problem is my garden is not large enough for me to rotate efficiently, because I'm always growing a ton of tomatoes, cucumbers, squash, peppers and eggplant. They share a lot of the same diseases. Generally, you don't want to plant things that are in the same family in the same spot. Nightshades include potatoes, tomatoes, eggplant, peppers and ground cherries. You wouldn't want to plant one where another nightshade grew the previous year. Cucurbits include squash, pumpkins, gourds, melons and cucumbers. You wouldn't want to plant one where another grew the previous year. And so forth. A good crop to plant after would be a crop that doesn't share diseases, like maybe root crops (beets, carrots, turnips, etc.), lettuces, other leafy greens, annual herbs, etc. It's really an art.

Zone 6B here. My cukes are still only about an inch long :) After lettuce and spinach has bolted, I just use the beds to grow peas as microgreens. Just scatter them very closely and trim off for salads as needed. Cover with insect netting so you don't have to wash. Fold stems and seeds into the soil and repeat. I do that until I can plant lettuce and beet tops again.

Enjoyed this s in really new to gardening. My third garden. First one was a square foot garden, it was beautiful but…. I really was green … saw it really needed more room. Some things I grew just because I wanted to see them not eat them or knew anything about them🤦🏼‍♀️… then I planted a garden and couldn’t see it thru due to health.. hurt myself trying. I did harvest a small amt of corn tomatoes basil and onions garlic… This year a late start cause I broke my wrist 🤦🏼‍♀️🤷‍♀️soooo I was really happy about late planting in July!!!! My corn is about 3” high my onions are an easy foot high I planted carrots … and I’m going to go for squash and my tomato’s are about a foot high and going to go in the ground today. Potatoes are next… thank you thank you thank you and I had potatoes over winter and just pulled them got a small amount about 10 lbs… what a nice surprise 🌺

Sweet alyssum is great because it keeps hornworms off our tomatoes, but it spreads like crazy. I try to always keep it in pots

Here in zone 5 Canada, it's okay to plant some longer maturing carrots. Our first frost is mid October and I do find carrots can take a long time to mature. I'm usually planting too late. Sure they can tolerate frost but they aren't growing much by that point with much shorter days

I live in the Idaho panhandle and my tomatoes are just now starting to fruit. Too many times, we get a frost that can set back the tomatoes and it takes longer for them to grow. Tomatoes that I just planted are already passing the tomatoes I planted in May. I will get a ton of fruit . I am able to freeze enough to last all winter.

I started a zinnia, marigold and cosmos patch that is about 4" high right now. I'm starting bok choi seeds now as I had some in the spring as a trap crop. I have alyssum but it is small and struggling to flower in this heat. I had some shade cloth over them but I have removed it for awhile as it may need more sun. They have always been finicky to grow for me. I can grow zinnia, cosmos, marigolds, and lots of spices easily here in zone 6b.

This guy is living the life I was thinking about when I spent time in the Wilmington area. I stayed at Brunswick Forest, Compass Pointe, and other communities but I thought it would be nice to have a house with a large yard for gardening.

It's tough. The HOA's here are terrible. Your options are either a neighborhood with an HOA or an apartment. No land anywhere ☹ But, I bought land in Florida for later in life for that reason.

We really enjoy your channel and it has helped us a lot. Your fingerprints are all over our vegetable garden this year: straw mulch, Florida Weave, Celebrity and Super Sweet 100s, electric toothbrush, etc. When we have a garden question we come on here to see if you have done a video on it.

Middle TN here! I've been feeling a little defeated with my garden today. May was super rainy, with flash flooding. June has been in the upper 90's and super dry. I think we've had 1/2" of rain the entire month. We're on the same path with July so far. Inspite of a good start, My garden is dry and struggling. Listening to your video gave me that second wind. to keep trying.

Wow in the NE my sunflowers haven’t even headed yet, one is starting and I’ll have my first bloom soon. We’ve had a really late start this year, we actually had a very cool spring. Even the volunteers didn’t sprout until late May early June. Such an odd season here. No female squash blooms yet, most fruiting plants are still in their halfway stage, I can’t even fit my next rotation yet. Today for example was very cool for July, only mid 70’s with a breeze. Also last year I had vine borers from May-Sept 2 waves, this year they just started laying eggs 2 weeks ago. It’s crazy how each gardening season can drastically vary. Last year I had squash and sunflower blooms in early June! I may not even have time for 2nd and 3rd successions. Has anyone else in the NE approx zone 7a/7b experienced a much later season this year?
