What to do in the garden right now

Pick a month. This is the list I actually work from — Garden Zone 7A. Adjust a week or two either way for yours.

Do this month

  • Harvest garlic when the fifth leaf browns
  • Start fall brassicas in trays, in the shade
  • Keep the tomatoes picked so they keep setting

Leave it alone

  • Fertilising anything in a heatwave
  • Sowing lettuce — it will bolt by Thursday

Reading for July
