What can I grow from Seed in July?
« on: July 08, 2009, 22:05 »
Hi, I have dug up my new spuds (lovely this year  :nowink:), eaten the broad beans (and made lovely Catalan dishes), salad stuff coming along nicely, as are the onions, courgettes, squash and pumpkin.  However, I wondering what I can plant in July?  Is it too late to plant / start off Cauliflour, Cabbage, Garlic and Brussel sproats?  What could I start off now which would be ready for X-mas time?  Any ideas would be very much appreciated...
Thanks, Ian
Now then, I am a very pleasant lad from York.  I have a decent half plot on Holgate allotments.

This week I am sowing more dwarf french beans, cavalo nero, beetroot, carrots and if stays cool a few more lettuce and radish. Oh, and transplanting leeks into the space left when I took up first earlies.

Oh yes, spring cabbage in a week or two  :D

also have a look here for a chart about sowing and harvesting times

I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days all attack me at once...

Endive for autumn and winter salads - wonderful when blanched, keeps crisp for ages when cut stays fresh - keeps in the ground for weeks and is never ever cheap in the shops.

Chicory - witloof for growing until the autumn then forcing indoors (great if you have a cellar) - you'll never buy from the shop again after you've cut your own and eaten it within hours.

Wong Bok.....Chinese Cabbage - sow direct into site in rows 15cm apart - July to August.

Thin as they grow to 20cm apart.

Later sowings (August) produce better hearts. Great for stir-fry, steaming or even chopped and raw in salad.
