What to do in the garden in July?

In July, priority is given to harvesting! Swap some of your hoe and pruning shears for a pot and glass jars... July gardening jobs In July, some gardening jobs should not be neglected. The main action will be watering early in the morning or late in the evening, depending on nighttime temperatures and the time available. It is better to water abundantly and mulch well rather than superficial watering, which will evaporate very quickly and limit the plant's deep root development. You can use oyas, which will serve to provide the necessary water to your plants slowly and naturally. We advise you to make liquid manures and water the plants regularly with diluted nettle, comfrey, or horsetail manure to strengthen their defenses. To protect your cabbages from caterpillars of the cutworm or the white butterfly, place your cabbages near the tomatoes and crush the eggs. Mechanically remove the caterpillars as soon as they appear. Water, that is, water the foliage of cabbages, turnips, radishes, arugula when the sun is low to avoid attacks of flea beetles. Your non-remontant raspberry bushes may need pruning at the end of their production. Also continue to prune your tomatoes. If you water your lawn, make sure to do it in the evening to prevent the water from evaporating. July sowings Herbs: Common chervil, Parsley, Golden purslane.
