Things to Sow in the Garden Now - July

Posted on

As we have passed the Winter Solstice and the days are growing longer, we can start sowing some of our earliest spring vegetables.

We will be sowing shortly, Silverbeet Fordhook GiantChard RainbowBroccoli De Cicco & Broccoli Purple SproutingBroccoli Raab Spring RapiniArugula WildCress Land, Rocket, MizunaRed Coral MizunaTat Soi and Lettuces Tree, Speckled, Odell’s, Mignonette, St Vincent and Lollo Rossa. And in a few weeks, all our TomatoesEggplant and Pepper seeds will be sown too! These need to get an early start and a warm place to germinate. 18 degree celsius minimum temperature is necessary to get these babies to shoot.
 
Don’t forget the companion flowers! You can get underway now or in the next few months Aquilegia Grandmother’s Garden, Dahlias Showpiece Surprise, Evening Primrose, Dianthus Clove Pink, Statice Sea Lavender, Calendula Orange, Echinacea, Lupin Blue, Sweet Williams and Poppies. So many options, some perennial and some annual so make sure you choose the ones that suit your garden best.

We often follow the biodynamic calendar and their recommendation to sow seeds at Moon Opposition Saturn, for these dates, check our website.

Our Website is where to find the most up to date information on what we have available at all times during the year. We encourage orders through this medium, but of course get in touch if you cannot access our seeds this way.

And a reminder that selections of our seeds are also available from our Retail Outlets around the country.
