What can you plant in July?

 Dear Gardeners,

Note from future selves: If you haven't planted your carrots by mid-July, you are too late for winter carrots. Plant plant!! Just had to write that as a reminder to our carroty breatheren. Plant early, plant often and keep seed moist.  :>)

Now that we're coming into the second half of July the question is: Can any veggies still be planted from seed? The answer is YES! Here's a video to give ten bountiful crops from beets, kale and chard to a few less well known crops (video):

And here, looking ahead, are some educational videos about what to sow in the upcoming months before the sun gets too low in the sky. These are Charles Dowding videos.

What can you plant in August through October?

Also, if planning ahead to winter edibles, very easy-at-a-glance is Linda Gilkeson's month by month winter planting guide: 

More to follow, as we're planning our new greenhouse/polytunnel in the upcoming months! Also the garden is full of produce from garlic and rhubarb to raspberries, blueberries, lettuce zucchini and potatoes. So much going on in July!
