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.

Try roasting leeks with fennel - leeks cut to 1cm slices, the fennel sliced lengthways, toss in olive oil,sea salt and black pepper, a crushed garlic clove snd a shot of dry vermouth ('cinzano' or 'martini') - wide shallow roasting dish, about 30 mins at 180c. Great with fish or lamb.

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

I’m 76 and started on my journey to grow as much as I could in 2020. Yes, mistakes happen, weather doesn’t always cooperate, and you need to protect young crops against birds and other creatures. But don’t give up, keep whacking in those seeds and you will be amazed at what you can grow. Don’t be frightened to experiment or be intimidated by the immaculate plots you often see on KZread.

don't just grow the plants, let the plants grow you
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.
Turnip greens have long been a staple of southern cooking.
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
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.

How and when do you harvest the pollen? I imagine you have to let the plants over winter and then go to seed and season 2, if they are biennial like carrots, is that right? Does the bulb get woody at that point, so that you are essentially sacrificing the bulb for the pollen? So many questions! 😄 I'd be interested in trying it even if just with one plant!

Thank you - I'd never heard of that. Now I HAVE GOT to try to it! I grow perennial fennel, no bulb. I'm going to try to collect some pollen from it and see what it's like. At least it sets pollen reliably every year, so fingers crossed! 😋

@@that_auntceleste5848 Just cut yellow flowering heads early, before they get seedy. Chop and cut into butter or add to pickles, or sprinkle on salads or pastas as a pretty garnish. I use fennel seed in many things i cook also - pasta sauces, roasting pans, stuff i boil, like rice. Use it in breads, or a pinch raw raw to soothe your stomach - and sweeten your breath. Sprinkle the fennel seed on pizza while it is hot...sweet and savory go great together. More like that!

Succession sowing: my best achievement of this growing season; thanks for the continued inspiration.
Some great ideas here - thanks. This is only the third season growing from my ten raised beds, with still a lot to learn!
Thank for the list, enjoyed visiting your garden this morning. I am in Texas, we are having never ending rain. Should be a good time for sowing

Just go by the average first frost dates, remember to add a couple weeks to days to maturity since stuff grows slower as it turns to fall. You have to get it in the ground or a pot if you want to have time to get a harvest. Use microclimates, dappled shade, morning and late evening sun and shade cloth to your advantage.
Thanks Huw, excellent recommendations. I had planted a couple already but I loved some of the other suggestions, particularly the Sarpo Mira potatoes. Looking forward to experiment with them this year.
Lovely video Huw and team. Visually stimulating as well as very informative thank you. Do not know how I missed this one first time around.

Awesome update my friend
I've just harvested my onions and most of my lettuce and planted some calabrese in their spot, I've also sown some more garlic chives for indoors as I still have chives out doors in shaded area
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.

Hi Huw, yes it is completely mad this time of the year for seed sowing, it is none stop right now and I have no intention of slowing down. I have never really got on with Kohl Rabi due to the space it takes to grow...Steve...😃
I can share oregano plants and beet seed with anyone in Portland area. Happy to get some of your excess figs, squash or Kale in trade. Our chickens love compost scraps. We'll have Plums to swap in August also. 8b is our zone, and we always get a cool rain 3rd week of August, so that helps plants limping along in drought, or that we can get started in summer. Our rain barrels are now empty, and I tote grey-water out from sink and shower containers daily. Weekly deep watering is fine for most plants, once established.
Fennel was a staple veg growing up in Switzerland. Mum boiled them and served with a bechamel (white sauce) delicious..

Beautiful video, although I dont live in those climate zones, learning is never a bad thing.
Climate difference. Australia is in their winter. Here in the US in Indiana we’re in Summer. It’s extremely hot and humid. This year we had warmer weather a few weeks in April so I grew radishes, beets, peas, spring onion and lettuce under low tunnels. The first week in May it snowed. June it got hot and dry followed by the heat and thunderstorms the last week. I tucked in peppers and tomatoes as I was pulling out early plants. The dry weather didn’t help them get a good start so I’m just hoping they get better. I started butternut squash and zucchini in another bed away from my apple trees. In that same area I did try brussel sprouts and broccoli. They did well until the end of June then died back with the dry heat. I put in okra and cucumbers in their place. Short term brassicas do better here like radishes and turnips. In August I plant more radishes, lettuce and greens that I cover in October and normally have greens until Christmas. Indiana climate is different. I do like how you do poly culture and succession planting. You have some very good information.

Companion planting with lavender, rosemary, marigold helps. I recommend researching integrated pest management sprays using biodegradable soap, citric acid and essential plant oils.
Thank you So much for stating at the beginning what zone your suggested seeding of vegetables was for. Saved me a lot of time.
I had never tried the black radish or parsnips before but the radish has done well in one corner of my garden it just keeps reseeding its self and just found out the parsnip has done the same witch I thought was carrots so this year I will enjoy all 3 and have plenty of seeds. This year was the first year I grew everything from seed in my green house and this year I will house inside tomatoes 3 different ones,and tricolored peppers. And my heirloom large cherryl tomato volunteered again and all tomatoes are just blooming. Its been a growing curve this year . Frost in May and not much rain so I've been making comfrey& purselane tea too boost some growth I'm planning on having a row comfrey around the whole fence areas that way when I fall plow I can add the cuttings into the soil for good composted soil.
Great video 👍🏻 I had bad luck with beets this...lots of foliage but when I pulled up a couple of them...no beets..
