His practical gardening magazine column series continues all year round, and his tips on what to plant in July are a taster of what you can expect. For the full column, subscribe to Gardens Illustrated<\/em> magazine<\/a>.<\/p>\n Don\u2019t miss our suggestions of the\u00a0best flowers in July<\/a>,\u00a0what gardens to visit<\/a>\u00a0and the\u00a0gardening jobs for the month<\/a>.<\/p>\n With summer<\/a> in full swing, it\u2019s easy to be seduced by the abundance of flowers and produce. Though as a gardener my mind looks to the seasons that will soon follow.<\/p>\n Now is a good time to start off wallflowers<\/a> for early spring interest, sowing in seed trays or modules before planting in the ground \u2013 where I find they mature better into healthy, strong plants than if grown on in pots \u2013 and then transplanted to containers<\/a> in late winter. For bright and bold combinations, I go for cultivars, such as \u2018Scarlet Bedder\u2019, \u2018Sugar Rush Purple Bicolour\u2019 or \u2018Sunset Orange\u2019, though the softer \u2018Sunset Apricot\u2019 and \u2018Sunset Primrose\u2019 are charmingly sophisticated.<\/p>\n For the plate, another sowing of French or runner beans, along with salad leaves, radish or turnips will prove fruitful this season, though looking ahead I start to sow fast-maturing carrots, such as \u2018Nantes 5\u2019 and winter-cropping endives and kales. Sowing chard \u2018Bright Lights\u2019 now will provide both colour and nourishment through winter, while onion \u2018Rossa lunga di Firenze\u2019 can be cropped early as a spring onion or will swell and stand through winter to be used for delicately flavouring dishes.<\/p><\/body><\/html>\n By Benjamin William Pope Published: Thursday, 30 June 2022 at 12:00 am Head gardener Benjamin Pope is here to make sure your garden looks great all year round.
