July in the Kitchen Garden

Tomatoes

Start from seeds in March and  by July there can be a bumper harvest of juicy fruits of all kinds of shapes and colours. Extend the picking season to late autumn by growing under cover.

Peppers

Sweet peppers and chillies prefer warm conditions so best grown in greenhouse.Start plants indoors from early spring sowing and by July they will be providing ongoing harvest of fruit till the autumn. Consistent higher humidity and water supply are important for healthy fruit development.

Courgettes

Very easy to grow from sowing indoors in April, they like moist conditions and will reward with large amounts of fruits which can be eaten cooked or raw. Best harvested in size not bigger than the palm of your hand.
