The 10 Most Productive Crops to Sow in July

I have good news! The sowing season is far from over, and even though there is a huge number of crops we can still be sowing, I decided to outline what I think are the 10 most productive crops to sow in July. The crops are in no particular order and suited primarily for a zone 7/8 climate. I really hope this helps you work out how to fill upcoming gaps that may emerge over the next couple of months when the spring crops are cleared out.

I am really enjoying watching all your videos. I'm a 72 year old lady and have never done any gardening. I've just built a raised garden in my pocket sized garden and am so excited about trying to grow vegetables. Your beginners video was very clear, but you mentioned how everyone makes mistakes. Sadly I don't think I'll have time for that...so I'll have to get it right first tilme 😜. I'm looking forward to many more of your videos

With cilantro you get so much seed I end up harvesting and using it as a continual covercrop during the summer. Pollinators love it for when it flowers, and it protects beds from being bare during turnovers. During this major heatwave we had here in western Canada my cannellini bean starts were protected by cilantro that was growing all around it. Doesn't matter if it is bolting all the time just keep throwing down the seed and pull when you want to make space in a bed.

It is annoying that I get a notification two days after your uploads. But glad to see them when I notice they are there. Thanx Huw

Turnip greens have long been a staple of southern cooking.

What a wonderful way to wind down a particularly stressful week, sipping a nice dirty martini and listening to Huw's soothing voice. Wonderful video sir!

Succession sowing is my big goal this season! In previous years, I have never had a plan for what happens to my beds after I harvest the main crop. Now, I have an array of turnips, beets, pak choi, mibuna and chard seeds ready to fill out the vacant spaces left by garlic, potatoes etc.

Thanks for making this video! It's so uplifting to see that the fun of sowing doesn't have to stop when spring is over.

Fennel pollen is absolutely delicious too, for the record. My ex is a chef and used to use it in pasta dishes with leek and peas. So good.

This is the first year I am planting in modules now for mid-July planting. I am zone 8, and we had too much rain and very cool temperatures this last spring, so everything is a bit behind, but they do catch up. I intercrop quite a bit, which is amazing to see. I struggle with beats for some reason, so I will see how they do planting now (in late June), to see if I have better luck than in early spring or autumn to winter over. Thank you Huw for everything you have taught me - Sean from the US state of Oregon, in Portland.

Watching your videos I'm learning about veggies I never heard of.
I now have a list I take to my local farmers market to purchas and taste test (yes I do wait for it to be inseason, so I know they are at their peak flavors). If my family likes them they go on the "to grow" list.

As soon as I pull the rest of the beets & carrots, I'll be planting Rutabaga seeds for the fall harvest.

[kathyressler]

Thank you for the information. Live in Zone 9, USA. Will be using your guide starting in August.

[hlegler]

I've never heard the phrase "hungry gap" before. Perfect way to describe that time!

[Silvereagledude]

Great as usual, Huw….you see, it was so good, I watched it again

[evelynknox]

Succession sowing: my best achievement of this growing season; thanks for the continued inspiration.

[lindastorey]

Fennel was a staple veg growing up in Switzerland. Mum boiled them and served with a bechamel (white sauce) delicious..

[alias]

It´s interesting to see the diferences between several countrys. I´m living in Germany, which isn´t that far away from you, and we sow kohlrabi out in march. and i harvested the first one this week.

Roasted fennel bulb is such a treat! 😋
