15 Vegetables You'll Deeply Regret Not Planting in July!

15 Vegetables You'll Deeply Regret Not Planting in July It's July, and there's still time to plant a second round of vegetables for a fall harvest. Warm summer soil speeds up germination, and several crops actually improve in flavor after the first frost. This video covers 15 vegetables you can plant in July, including planting windows by USDA zone, germination times, common problems (like bolting and squash vine borers) and how to avoid them, and expected harvest dates. Vegetables covered: cucumbers, zucchini, bush beans, radishes, lettuce, carrots, kale, Swiss chard, New Zealand spinach, beets, arugula, turnips, collard greens, scallions, and Brussels sprouts. Brussels sprouts have the tightest deadline on this list — they need 80-100 days to mature, so they need to go in the ground this week to be ready before the first frost. Let me know in the comments which of these you're planting this week, and what zone you're in.
