Autumn watermelon
Direct sow in early to mid-July. Choose early-maturing or early-to-mid-maturing varieties that are heat-tolerant, disease-resistant, have a short growing period and good quality.
Cabbage
Sow cabbage from early to late July. All are sown and raised as seedlings with shade and rain protection.
Tomato
Such as large tomato, cherry tomato, yellow cherry tomato
Sow and raise seedlings in nutrient soil from mid-July to early August. Cover with a shade net after sowing.
Eggplant
Transplant in time in early to mid-July
Chili pepper
Sow chili pepper in early to mid-July. From mid-July to early August, sow in nutrient soil and raise seedlings covered with a shade net.
Celery, celeriac
From late June to early August, raise seedlings with shade and rain protection. For celeriac and the like, sprout the seeds in a cool, moist place, and build a 1 m high shaded trellis.
Be careful that the sunlight is too strong. If conditions allow, please appropriately add shade nets for the vegetables, for example for those in a small courtyard or on a rooftop
In addition, this month is the vigorous growth period for bitter melon and loofah, with many fruits set. Pay attention to topdressing and pruning to increase the female flower rate.
When growing vegetables, start by choosing simple ones
Simple vegetables such as onion, radish, bitter chicory and spinach have a short growing time and fewer steps, and the container type chosen is generally just an ordinary one.
After succeeding with beginner vegetable growing, you can slightly increase the difficulty and choose medium or slightly difficult ones. These vegetables take a relatively longer time to grow, need good watering and topdressing, and require a certain amount of skill. The containers should be larger or deep. For example: eggplant, tomato, chili pepper.
When growing relatively difficult vegetables, you can buy vegetable seedlings instead of seeds. Starting cultivation from seedlings is a bit easier!
