Mid-South: July 2016

Happy 4th of July weekend for all in the US.

July - starting the last half of the year... Already??

For my area (north of Atlanta), we're getting drips & drabs of rain. And it's humid, of course. Temps in the mid-90's. But there's still things to do in the garden! Even if it doesn't include much planting. How about just putting a chair out there & looking at nature & relaxing in your favorite spot...? Put water out for the bees & butterflies. Make sure your mulch is in place!

From Gardenate:

Beans - climbing (also Pole beans, Runner beans, Scarlet Runners) Plant in garden. Harvest from October.
Celery Plant in garden. Harvest from December.
Chinese cabbage (also Wong bok, wong nga pak) Start undercover in seed trays and plant out in 4-6 weeks. Harvest from October.
Mustard greens (also gai choy) Start undercover in seed trays and plant out in 4-6 weeks. Harvest from September.
Okra (also Ladyfinger, gumbo) Plant in garden. Harvest from November.
Rocket (also Arugula/Rucola) Plant in garden. Harvest from September.
Sweet corn (also maize) Plant in garden. Harvest from November.

Old Farmer's Almanac doesn't give anything for this month.

So just get on out there and enjoy yourselves! And tell us what's going on in YOUR garden!

Me? I'm about to go pick more blueberries!

LOL! Then I guess I can tell you that I picked another gallon...

You're time is coming, CN. Remember, it's all a process... We've lived in this house for 20+ years & I'm now just getting some of the stuff I've dreamed of for years.

Marie, right now I haven't done much more than water... a lot. Lots of mulch in place though. Tomatoes are finally coming in and they are wonderful!!
