Life as a gardener after harvest - crops that can be planted until the season is over
Late July - early August is considered the time of year when many plants are no longer worth planting. This is because a hot climate combined with a lack of rain will not give the desired result. However, if you are striving to conduct an experiment, then today we will consider some cultures that you can try. Below are the 4 most weather-tolerant crops that can still yield.
Potatoes Strange as it may sound, but potatoes can be planted now. Indeed, this time of year is meant to be harvested. However, if you plant your potatoes now, you will most likely harvest a young crop right in time for dinner in October.
Just imagine how delicious it looks.
Zucchini
If you plan to plant zucchini, then at this time they are more whimsical. In this case, they will have to be watered daily, but no guarantee can be given for their growth. We recommend germinating zucchini seeds in advance in greenhouse conditions or at home, and then planting them in the ground. This will speed up the process of their growth, and possibly the ovaries of the future harvest will appear.
Cucumbers
Cucumber lovers know this crop is best enjoyed in June. If it is possible to plant them in August, try it. In this case, it is imperative that they be covered from the burning sun and watered abundantly daily. At the very first ovary of flowers - treat with all kinds of means against insects and other diseases.
Greens
Where in winter there is no greenery, because it gives so much flavor and vitamins to each dish. In August, you can still plant certain herbs, but do not forget to water them. Planting seeds directly into the hole - it is also better to moisten it abundantly. Alternatively, you can add eggshells or other natural growth fertilizer.
