info_outlineDon’t listen to the naysayers! You CAN start a garden in the middle of July, BUT only if you plant the right plants. In this episide, I'm sharing a list of 5 seeds you can start in July (for every single one of you), whether you are gardening in a hot place, a cold place, or a mild place.
From leafy greens and herbs, to roots, fruits and flowers, your garden doesn’t have to fully stop in the heat.
Note: You’re in a hot climate if your summer temps are regularly in the 90s and up. You’re in a cool climate if you have a short window between your frost dates (so I’ve got fast-growing plants that will still make sure you get a harvest). And you’re in a mild climate if your temps are mostly in the 80s.
