It's mid-July, which means it's time to harvest winter garlic - its leaves have dried out and the shoots have straightened out.
But once you've dug up your garlic, are you really going to leave the bed empty throughout the summer and fall?
Let's think about how we can effectively start the second cycle of sowing.
The thing is that there are still a lot of nutrients left in the soil from the fertilizing, which will be enough for another harvest.
Therefore, dill, parsley, leaf lettuce, Chinese cabbage and Swiss chard can be planted in place of garlic.
You can also plant radishes, turnips, daikon and black radishes, which will have time to ripen before the cold weather sets in.
Let's dwell on radish separately - if you plant it in the middle of summer, it practically does not bolt. The same applies to horseradish.
You can also plant cucumbers, which will also have time to yield a harvest before autumn. You can also plant green peas - think about the sugar variety.
