What can you still Plant in July? [Zones 7 and 8]

[@MAmet-bc3zz]

Zone 7a doesn’t get their first frost date for most parts until late late October, if not even early November, way more than 8 weeks from July. In July we still have about 90+ days of growing season and people even plant corn the first week of July here

[@Sophies09Mommy]

Thank you for the videos & info. I live in central oklahoma & this is my first REAL garden. I've planted a few things over the years but this year did quite a lot for my small yard. My tomatoes are all taking off with little green baby tomatoes and little fingerling sized yellow squash as well as cucumbers and 1 bell pepper that looks nothing like what you buy at the store? It's sort of roundish & is the size of a tennis ball. Learned a lot by trial & error this year/ did raised beds. At least next year we won't have to build the frames and buy so much soil etc- ill be ready haha! I was born & raised in nw Louisiana and my mammaw had a huge garden bigger than my house and yard combined here & I have fond memories of helping her and helping her can beets etc. Miss her terribly & all those fresh shelled - as my mama says- " pink eye purple hull peas- nobody up here even knows what those are so im HOPING to plant my own but when would you suggest planting those up here? Also miss my collards and want to try those as well but back home IIRC aren't collards a cold weather plant? Also can you plant peas that have been kept frozen in rhe freezer? I have a bag of purple hulls she gave me before she passed away years ago( they've never been cooked or anything & I just can't bear to just throw them away) . Ty in advance for any help. Sorry this comment is so long.

[@MirrimBlackfox]

I do my last planting of sweet corn around July 20th of Fisher's Earliest Sweet Corn which nominally is 70 days to harvest (I add 14-15 days to the time because the light intensity is less in the late summer/fall there for growth is slower) in my zone 8b with an "expected" frost around Halloween. I usually assume frost by the 15 of October to be on the safe side.

[@StoneyAcresGardening]

Wow that would be great. We are zone 6 b and have an earlier frost date so about mid June is the last time we can get corn in. How does the Fisher's taste? I've found some of the shorter maturing sweet corns to be not as tasty.

[@MirrimBlackfox]

@@StoneyAcresGardening Like an old style OP sweet corn, it is not as sweet as modern hybrids but I think that the actual flavor can be better. The trick to it is to boil the corn as soon as you pick it (like start the water boiling to cook it before you head to the garden) and shuck it straight into the boiling water./j But really, process it as fast as you can, blanch it right away if you are going to freeze it etc. The sugars turn to starches pretty quickly after it is picked, and because it is less sweet to begin with (which leaves more room for other flavoring agents) it can quickly become "starchy".

Radishes only take about 4 weeks to grow from seeds.

[@StoneyAcresGardening]

It's a bit too hot in July for radishes. They are a cool season crop for spring and fall planting.

[@gilshelley9183]

@@StoneyAcresGardening Radishes are acually grown in 8b because the hot weather and day length cause bolting which is desirable for seed crops. Don't expect an edible crop.

[@ecthelion1735]

Here in the Pacific northwest, we're still 8b, technically, but we're having an extremely mild summer. Highs upper 60s, low 70s. My second radish crop is just maturing, and I'm considering planting another.

[@rruuuuss]

During hot summers and long days, radishes will grow in height and gain green mass and the fruit will be small and not as good in taste. Shading can help, 8-10 hours of sun per day is enough for the radishes.

Hi, What type of peas are best for Fall? English, snap or snow? Thank you.

I prefer Snap or snow because most of them have shorter maturity dates, and you can eat the pods even if they don't fully mature.

[@tarannumtasnim5526]

What about spinach and beets?

[@StoneyAcresGardening]

It's a little too early for Spinach and Beets for zones 7 and 8. You need to wait a bit longer, plant those around 8 weeks before your first frost so that they are maturing when the weather is cooler.

[@stacycambell9776]

We grow spinach all winter long. Only really hard or long freezes hurt them. They survive into the low 20's.

[@HealthyDisrespectforAuthority]

I'm kinda bummed about bell peppers not being on the list.. I have some barely started inside since my first planting didn't come up.

[@MAmet-bc3zz]

[@suemerritt1679]

I am in zone 7 middle GA. Won't beans drop their blooms in the heat if planted now?

[@gilshelley9183]

Whoa! You are discounting the fact that zone 8b has what is essentially a nuclear winter in July and August. We routinely exceed 90 degrees and 90% humidity. The pollen of many plants die at these temperatures. Diseases become a severe limiting factor and insects can be of biblical proportions. The night temperatures are often in the 80's stopping most fruiting in its tracks. How about discussing plants that have a realistic chance of survival. Brassicas -- not here my friend.

I planted cucumbers and zucchini in the beginning of the season (April-ish) and their leaves are growing great with plenty of flowers/buds but absolutely no fruit. Not even any sign of fruits. I just don’t know if I should give up on them and use the space for lettuce and things I know can grow before the first frost or if I should give them more time. Does anyone have advice?!?!?

[@laurieruff202]

Both of those need pollinators. You can do it yourself with a Q-tip. I did this early in Spring, but now there are enough insects doing their job so I don’t have to! LOL! There are plenty of videos on KZbin to show you how.

[@StoneyAcresGardening]

Like Laurie, I think you have a pollination issue. Have you seen bees in your garden? If not you can hand pollinate.

[@ashleyrimel2652]

When starting seeds for fall crops, do I have to start them indoors or could I start them outdoors in trays? I'm limited on space. Thanks in advance

[@StoneyAcresGardening]

Indoors would be much better. Part of the reason we do it indoors is because it is much cooler. Fall crops don't like HOT weather and will struggle in the summers heat outdoors.

I'm in zone 7 is it too late to plant beans, cucumbers and brocolli in containers from seeds?

[@StoneyAcresGardening]

You should still be okay with beans and cucumbers, your harvest will be a bit smaller buy you will still get one. It is too early for broccoli to go out in the garden, it is a cool season crop and should be planted by transplant about 6 to 8 weeks before your first frost. So it might be time for you to get some starts going indoors, but they wouldn't do well outside right now.
