Summer is the time for planting autumn vegetables. What plants to grow?
Summer is a great time for plant fall
vegetables. Proper planning and planting of seedlings will allow you to get a
rich harvest before the onset of cold weather. In this article, we will look at
some popular crops that can be grown in the summer, as well as provide
practical advice on the correct planting of seedlings.
What plants can be planted in summer?
- Carrots
are one of the most popular fall crops. Choose varieties that ripen quickly and
cut off the top of the leaves to speed up the ripening process of the roots.
Before planting, dig up the soil, add compost or fertilizer to nourish the
soil, and sow the seeds about 1-2 cm deep.
- Radish
is another vegetable crop that can be successfully grown in the summer for
autumn consumption. Choose fast-growing radish varieties and plant the seeds
about 1 cm deep. Keep regular watering to avoid bitterness in the roots.
- Autumn
cabbage. Cabbage seedlings are recommended to be grown in July so that they
have enough time to develop before the onset of cold weather. Provide better
growing conditions by keeping seedlings away from excessive sunlight and
watering them regularly.
- Spinach
is a vegetarian crop that can be grown throughout the year, including autumn.
It has a high nutrient content and grows quickly. Before planting spinach,
moist and fertile soil is key. Submerge the seeds to a depth of about 1 cm,
keeping the distance between plants about 15-20 cm.
- Lettuce
or arugula can also be planted in the summer for a fall crop. They grow well in
cool temperatures. Plant seedlings or seeds in well-prepared soil with
sufficient moisture. Keep the distance between plants about 20-25 cm.
Here are some useful tips for a
successful landing:
- Choose
varieties that are suitable for autumn climates and have a short growing
season.
- Provide
adequate watering. Summer is often hot, so follow the watering schedule,
especially for young plants.
- Apply
mulch to conserve soil moisture and prevent weed growth. For mulching, it is
convenient to use black agrofibre and agrofabric TM Agreen.
- Protect
plants from pests and diseases using natural or chemical control methods.
- Do
not forget that July and August are very hot months. Therefore, it is necessary
to protect plants from excessive sunlight, overheating and burns. We advise you
to choose a shading net for protection from the sun. You can order a dark green
and decorative shading net of various sizes and degree of shading from us.

plants from early frosts by using covering materials or greenhouses. Our
