11 Vegetables to Plant in Late July - Zones 5 to 7

Today I'm talking about 11 vegetables you can plant in late July in zones 5 to 7 and still get a harvest before the fall frost. In this gardening video, I cover the 11 veggies you can plant and then I actually do a little planting in my new Smart Pots. These are some fun fabric pots that Smart Pots was kind enough to provide for me to try out.

Thank you so much.

[@rebekahwilson9137]

he definitely said the leafy greens we could plant now aka mid July, they would be heat-tolerant

I use grow bags too...love 'em...great for potatoes! But potting soil isn't cheap. To save cost you can partially fill the bags with yard waste(twigs/branches/leaves/grass clippings, etc.) and top them off with 6-8" of potting soil. Basically Hügelkultur in a bag. This works for large pots or raised beds as well.

[@StoneyAcresGardening]

Great tip!

[@kfitz192]

I've been doing that for ages!!! It not only saves $$$ but fertlizes too!

[@Angie-ci1lp]

I always fill in with leaves and small twigs🙋🏾‍♀️

[@HadassahHaman]

Hey!!!! Thx for that tip! I've been making grow bags using landscape fabric (I was gifted a GINORMOUS roll to use in the garden). I'll definitely try the hugelkulture method! I used the method in garden beds but didn't think... THX! Great tip!

[@dillong9231]

Be careful decomposition raises tempatures and can burn the roots! Been there!!!

[@ecocentrichomestead6783]

This is great info because I am trying something I haven't heard of anyone in Newfoundland doing. That is mid season planting. I want to start pushing to get rid of those plastic bags that compost comes in though. Garden centers should be pressed to offer those products in bulk. A person can bring reusable containers to get filled.

[@NutmegThumper]

Never knew that some veggies don’t like the heat! Explains why my carrots didn’t do well!

[@grahamb5769]

Just subscribed. Love your instructional method, easy to understand. Also nice to see a mid-season planting video instead of straight into a fall planting. A mid season trick i've been doing is starting an early or dwarf tomato or two the last week of June to plant out in mid or late July expecting a late harvest.

[@melanin4267]

Thank you Gardener 🙏🏾☺️🏡🧑🏾‍🌾🫑🍆🌻

[@StoneyAcresGardening]

You are so welcome

[@GtJrGrowsItAlaska]

Thanks for the information. Thanks for sharing.

[@Combat_Pyro]

Next time, cut the top of your soil bag open, flip the grow bag upside down and slide it over the soil bag, then flop the soil bag and the grow bag on its side and then flip them over again so the soil will dump out into the now upright grow bag, and pull the plastic bag out as usual. Prevents from having to fight with a collapsing bag. Alternatively, leave the soil bag uncut and drop it into the grow bag, then slice the bottom open after it’s inside the bag and pull the plastic bag off as usual! ;-)

[@momojaen]

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!!

[@MissChievousRN]

"Mineral tubs" are AWSUM planters, generally free from local farmers. Spade bit holes. Fill 2/3 with manure, leaves, compost pile stuff.... then put your finished compost or garden dirt on top. I've got potatoes in mine, then I'll tip them out and plant garlic. Maybe even later kale and collards on top. Use a hand cart if you must move them full. Or use that spade bit to add rope handles or a pull rope like a muck tub ;)

[@TxxRose]

Thank you for the video. I’m in zone 7b. North central Texas. Hotter than heck here this time of year.

[@mrwhitten7704]

Glad I watched. I have a few empty squares that the bush variety of beans and peas would be a perfect fit.

[@StoneyAcresGardening]

I'm harvesting my onions this week so I'm going to have another big spot to fill. I already planted beets where the garlic came out.

[@Mamaisawake]

Love this thank you. Very useful.

[@StoneyAcresGardening]

I'm using large pot to recycle food scraps and yard stuff and add worms then add growing soil on top. Plant shallow rooted seeds.

I'm in 8b, going on my 3rd planting of beans & peas. I got a decent harvest of broad beans before the black flies took them out. 🤬 But I germinated a bunch more indoors, so I'm rolling the dice and going for a 2nd crop. Just harvested garlic, some of which I'll be replanting in a few months for next year's crop. Some of my onions are falling over(almost harvest time), so I'll toss some more carrot seeds in those beds because winter carrots are amazing.

[@StoneyAcresGardening]

I know, winter carrots are the best! I don't even grow them in the spring/summer any more just a fall and winter planting.

[@PineGeri]

What variety of carrots do you grow over winter. Zone 8b…where is that…average temps? Am in 7b and already harvested my onions last month.

[@Jeff-rd6hb]

@@PineGeri I'm growig Red Core Chantenay and Sugarsnax 54 carrots. Zone 8b is in a lot of places, but I'm about 100 miles north of Seattle. It's pretty mild here for the most part with average highs during the growing season in the low-mid 70's. In the winter it rarely gets below freezing.

Hey guys I hope you enjoy this week's video. Let me know what you think of the Smart Pots too. I'm interested to hear how others have done growing on fabric pots!

[@Kevmelia1]

I have 5 & 10 gallon. Love them

I'm growing corn, jalapeños and basil in fabric pots. They are all thriving, but require double the water 💧 🙄 that the same plants in plastic pots need.

I used Kellogg’s raised bed mix in my garden in 2021 and my entire garden died from tainted soil, and I had several friends that had the exact same thing happened from their Kellogg bagged soil. Thanks Kellogg. NOT. I swore that brand off forever. Watch out.

[@StoneyAcresGardening]

I'm sorry you had this experience. Fortunatly I've always had good luck with that brand. Honestly it's about the only brand you can buy around here.

[@Elisabeth-jv2ps]

That happened to me as well last year and on home depot app many people were commenting

[@jaynegossett6638]

I use Kellogg raised bed soil and I absolutely love it. I use the yellow bags and the pink one.

[@sharonjennings1282]

I love where you get these videos that tell us what we have to grow in the time that we have left. It's very timely for me here in zone 5B and I appreciate it. By the way how often do you have to change the potting soil in painter Garden? It seems to me that would be very expensive even though it's a great thing to have

[@StoneyAcresGardening]

Potting soil should last at least 3 seasons if you remember to amend the soil every spring with compost.

[@Lael1]

Thank you for listing @jenn.... he takes forever to get to the point

[@Angie-ci1lp]

Remember to fill your bags almost to to top,the soil will settle, it you don’t your bag will fold inwards

[@arleneisenberg5168]

My grow bags did great for potatoes they even had a flap on the side for harvesting or to see growth, I also did green cabbage earlier in them and a couple with peppers just starting to get good size Bells on them, getting ready to plant kale & beets this week !!

I've got a bunch more that I am going to be using for fall crops here in a couple more weeks.

Would have helped to hear/discuss why you chose 20 gallon container for zucchini, with 7 seed, then saying 2 are enough... How big of a root are you expecting? That bag is big enough for 7 potato's!

I live in Athens Greece and the temperature today is 40 celcious..what seeds can i sow?

[@Moore2Lifepantrylovinprepper]

I am zone 5 and my first frost date is Sep 15th ish. I have about 105 to 110 days to grow things. I worry that starting them now they will bolt from the heat? Not sure, would love some input.

[@StoneyAcresGardening]

I would stick with late July or early August for planting.

[@sharonjennings1282]

By the way I had to pull out my zinnias because I have some bacterial issue in the soil there. I'm sure that it has something to do with a wet wet wet spring and then a lot of heat however I was wondering if there's any kind of vegetable that's resistant to that that I could put into that valuable real estate area?

[@StoneyAcresGardening]

You would need to look for varieties that are resistant to bacterial issues. Most seed catalogs would give you that info.

[@lovemybabygoat]

Zone 9a can I plant zucchini in August?

[@michellelaclair]

NEVERMIND I JUST GOTTA START WATCHING TO THE END B4 ASKING QUESTIONS!!! ITS KELLOGS,I TOOK A PICTURE SO I NEVER 4GET

[@StoneyAcresGardening]

I think Kellogs is regional here in the west, but I'm not 100% sure of that.

[@michellespencer-shields3820]

What balanced liquid fertilizer do you recommend?

[@seekeroftruth9900]

you can weed your garden and put them in buckets or somethin and let rain fill them up, cover and allow to ferment and use that water to fertilize. That water steals the nutrients that the weeds stole in the first place....not to mention you if you don't take meds can use urine, diluted of course to fertilize as well. Some plants need acidity you can use coffee ground water. I just put coffee grounds in a bucket and sit below my spigot which has a little drip so conserves that water and makes it usable for my blueberries, raspberries, things like that, that enjoy high acidity nutrient dense soil/water additions. Not to mention using your compost pile soil you can put some of it in water, so, compost tea/worm casting tea whatever you wanna call it, urine, and weed teas will virtually feed your garden for free, just takes a little elbow grease shall we say. Hope this helps. :)

[@YG-fo5rl]

How about cucumbers? Will it be ok to get it in now for a Harvey or two before the frost set in

[@StoneyAcresGardening]

Yes but hurry!

[@burlkeller]

This year I coplanted a few beans with my night shades; apparently bean supply nitrogen for the other plants. Does anyone else do this?

[@StoneyAcresGardening]

Yes beans and peas are great for adding nitrogen to the soil

[@suegeorge1933]

Could you show the zone areas

[@StoneyAcresGardening]

You can look yours up here: planthardiness.ars.usda.gov/

[@elizabethrose8510]

So can you use the bags you can buy at supermarket check out to plant veggies in?

[@StoneyAcresGardening]

Well yes, I guess you could. But they are not designed for that so they are going to breakdown REALLY quickly. The garden grow bags are designed to last for a lot of years.

[@Dawnwithgrace]

I used the blue walmart bags. They lasted 2 seasons. They are cheap and work well.

I’m having a hard time growing lettuce and greens. I get true leaves and they either die or don’t grow any further. Suggestions?

[@StoneyAcresGardening]

Boy that's a hard one to diagnose online. Could be any of a number of issues. Sorry.

[@crystalogburn8792]

I'm glad I'm not the only one having issues growing lettuce and greens. Every time I plant, even heat tolerant greens, I get zero,zilch,nada and just a little scraggly leaves and it's so frustrating. I have yet to determine what I'm doing wrong🤔

[@connecticutwormsgardens]

Question❓ In regards to planting peas now, are you referring to shelling peas or snap peas or snow peas? Thanks! Lisa - Zone 5B CT

I prefer snap and snow peas this time of year. There's a better chance they will get done before the fall frost and shorter days.

Unless you want to harvest the grain heads, yeah you could probably get some greens out of it.

[@johnjude2685]

I don't know how any thing going to grow better in a bag with less care and much less water. $7 for soil and added fertilizer , adding cost for water that should not be wasted$ grow bags aren't free to everyone. I'm not for raised beds exception for drainage problems which I'm don't have. Raised bed is mostly sucking in nursery funding and business not for most people trying to save on groceries.

[@zhippidydoodah]

Raised beds for me are good, they keep rabbits out :) Can make them from old wood, old brick, stones, old cement blocks, really just about anything that might be free on the side of the road or at the local dump.
