July is the month you are going to get a break from your garden. With most seedlings already finished, you should sit back, enjoy a fresh berry margita in the garden as your plants fulfill all their fate around you.
But the cycle of summer gardening never really stops, which means that you need to fit in some weeding and harvesting between the heat domes. Here you should pay attention to this month.

Adopt a daily around the garden (I try to do me before I am very high in the sun). Each morning, I make a circuit with my garden pier and a bucket. Note how things are doing and whether more water or perhaps fertilizer needs to be promoted, and look for infections. If you see a weed, pick it up and chuck it into the bucket (spiiler: You will see many weeds). If something should be cut, add it to HOD. Try to spend a few moments to appreciate all the hard work at the end of some raspberry or snap peas.
Water, water everywhere
The title for this month is bringing in irrigation, as it is likely to be the first time this year that you will really need it on a continuous basis. As the temperature rises, it is mandatory to have continuous water at the root of your plants. If you do this, they will grow flexible, forming strong roots and stems, which will not require a child under the shade.
If you have not yet done and test your irrigation or water systems to turn them on. Check for the first week or two and make sure that the ground is getting about six inches moist under the topsoul, and adjust the water as required. Wet grass is never late to conserve water and protect the roots of plants. Remember that you want a nice thick layer of wet grass – an inch is not going to do much – but be sure to keep that wet away from the stems of your plants.
Deadhead strong and more abundant bloom

Most summer blooming flowers “cut and come back” bloom. Your Snapdragons benefit from a good chop; They will grow two flowers at the branch and one place. If you live on top of your sweet peas, you may be able to pull them in late July, but if they start setting pods, do not be afraid to pull them out to make them a place for another climbing vegetable or flower. You should look at the onset of your echinecea, dahlia and daisies at this summer point, so be sure to stay on top of the deadheading so that they fall. Some flowers, such as sunflowers, are single blooms (they bloom only once, on a stem, so a chop and it is finished), so make sure that you know which flowers your flowers are single blooms, so you will not only bite what you will get.
Delephinium is single bloomers and should not be dedicated.

Turn on peas and other spring vegetables
These yellow peas are coming to the end of life, and must be drawn and replaced.

At some point around now, your peas will begin to yellow and crispy from the bottom. This means that it is time to turn the space for summer – so you have some climbing beans or something to go into space. I use me to apply green beans and sugar pumpkin, which will climb on the trailis and hang from the arches. Your spinach, boy choy, and spring broccoli, cauliflower, and cabbage have all swelled so far, so those locations are ready for summer or also to fall. Consider bolt resistant latus, tomatillos, beans, cucumbers, watermelons or squash in their place.

For some time this month, garlic is also going to be ready to come out of the ground. Wait for three or four brown leaves and then harvest with one hand hoe (just don’t try to get them out of the ground). Your garlic needs to dry for this for winter.
What do you think so far?
If you have found potatoes in the ground in the spring, you can start harvesting them as soon as you start flowering. Use a hoe to turn on the earth and then all children use their hands to find potatoes. You can actually let the small seed potatoes fall back into the bed, which will help it again and again.

In new empty places, remember to continue the succession planting. Get seeds regularly from nursery or in plant. If you go with seeds, you will need to work hard to keep them hydrated so that they sprout once in the ground.
Cut your berries

This is the season of berry, so make sure that you are being cut all your berries because they are ready. Raspberry should be finished with blueberries in full enthusiasm. At some point this month, strawberries will also be dunjo, which means that you can cut them back completely so that they can focus on the roots for next year. (I run a lawnmover on them to complete it.)
This is also the time for the initial decline planting
If you are growing from seeds, you should start by the end of July. They will not go for a month or two, which now gives you enough time to get a tray of seeds.
