Cabbage

Sow cabbage from early to late July. In all cases, use shade and rain protection for sowing and raising seedlings.

Tomato

From mid-July to early August, sow and raise seedlings in nutrient soil. After sowing, cover with a shade net.

Eggplant

Chili pepper

Chili pepper in early to mid-month. From mid-July to early August, sow in nutrient soil and raise seedlings under shade net coverage.

Celery, celeriac

From late June to early August, raise seedlings with shade and rain protection. For celeriac and others, sprout the seeds in a cool, moist place, and build a 1 m high shaded shed.

Be careful that the sunlight is too strong. If conditions allow, please appropriately add shade nets for the vegetables, such as for those in small courtyards or on rooftops

In addition, this month is a period of vigorous growth for bitter melon and loofah, with many fruits set. Pay attention to topdressing and pruning to increase the rate of female fruits.

In July, the vegetables that can be sown in the open field are far more than these. There are also spinach, eggplant, chili pepper, cucumber, loofah, water spinach, amaranth, fennel, celery, and so on. However, after all, in July the temperature is relatively high and there is also a lot of rain. During this period, planting vegetables still requires frequent watering, and for some vegetables, adding shade nets to prevent them from being burned or killed by high temperatures or the sun.
