Oh wow - it IS July 1! Thanks for the thread :-)
July Gardening Tips and To-Do List by Planting Zones and Region
https://morningchores.com/july-gardening-tips/
Not trying to tell ya what to do, but this is what you should be working on in your garden in July. Lists are by Growing Zone/Region. Very handy!
For me, Zone 5:
1. Succession Plant
If you live in planting zone five, you should succession plant both dill and cilantro. This will give you a constant harvest instead of having one large crop.
Also, it is a good idea because it helps to keep the gardener from feeling overwhelmed. Plus, it helps you to be able to use what you plant and not have to worry about anything going to waste.
2. Plant Peas
Peas are an excellent crop for the fall. In zone five you can go ahead and plant peas to enjoy for a fall harvest. They’re not difficult to grow and taste amazing.
3. Harvest
Your garden should be booming this month. It’s important to harvest it regularly to keep your garden producing.
Keep in mind; it’s best to harvest your garden in the morning hours while it’s still cool outside. This is certainly a safer option for the gardener and helps to avoid some of the extreme temperatures July can bring.
Good morning from TN! I have a cutting from a Peace Rose bush that belonged to my mom who passed in February. I’m trying desperately to get it to root. I have dipped it in root hormone and put it in a pot with dirt. I’ve watered it but not too much. It doesn’t look good. I’ve tried 4 other cuttings from a few other of her rose bushes but none have survived. I want so badly to have a small piece of something my mom loved and cared for. Any suggestions?
Thanks for the new thread! :-)
Discovered yesterday afternoon that I have cukes. Planted the seeds as an experiment, just to see if they would “take”. They did.
Good morning from Oregon. Thank you for your work, Diana. Got a surprise cucumber which we ate yesterday, already!
It’s hotter’n a popcorn fart here in the Middle of Misery today. Power outage hit the orifice building where I hardly work so I’m finishing the day from home.
Pulled weeds as long as I could stand to after work yesterday. Another 30 minutes will have the 75’ asparagus row finished up. Finished around the rhubarbs/squash/cukes yesterday after work.
Still no sign of the sweet corn. I guess the seeds must have cooked before they sprouted. Oh well...
Howard is good help in the garden. He lays in the shade, snaps at flies, laps water out of his dish, and barks at me while I work.
Meanwhile,
